Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 551: A Lack of Confidence

After hearing this, Father Xiao frowned and said worriedly, “Yu ‘Er, can we sell all that?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either!”

After hearing this, Father Xiao became even more worried.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Yu ‘Er, why don’t we start smaller? If we can’t sell all the crops on the first day, people will complain about them the next day. It won’t be good for the shop’s reputation. If we don’t pick them, the crops will stay fresh in the ground.”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Dad, don’t worry. We’ll see how the sales go first, alright? In any case, if we have any waste, we’ll limit it to the first day.”

Father Xiao sighed lightly and said, “That’s true.”

Xiao Lingyu first checked on the cabbages.

The cabbages stood there on the ground. The older leaves were scattered on the ground. The leaves were used to feed the cattle... even though Little Light and Big Light resisted. But their resistance was futile. The rest was used to feed the chickens and ducks...

Then, some of the villagers would also come to buy the older leaves from the Xiao Family. They were still quite delicious.

The cabbages were wrapped in layers of leaves. The leaves were tender and tinged with yellow. They looked really cute.

The cabbages were relatively large. One could reach up to three or four catties.

The cabbages Xiao Lingyu sold earlier were all from the farming space. Therefore, they were of the same size. It was easy to sell them individually.

However, these crops watered by the spring water outside of the farming space had different sizes. Therefore, they had to be sold by catties. Of course, Xiao Lingyu still insisted on selling the vegetables grown inside the farming space individually.

After checking on the cabbages, Xiao Lingyu went to check on the other crops. Thanks to the spring water and tender care, the vegetables all grew very well. Xiao Lingyu estimated that she could harvest 10 to 20,000 catties daily.

After that, Xiao Lingyu went to the bean products manufacturing company. The company had reached a certain scale of operation. There were the general manager’s office, the administrative office, the Finance Office, and the production department.

Xiao Lingyu was temporarily the general manager. Both the administrative office and the Finance Office were handled by professionals. These professionals were recommended by Gu Ziye and his gang. Xiao Lingyu trusted them, so she hired these talents with high salaries.

As for the production department, Eldest Uncle Xiao was temporarily in charge. Eldest Uncle Xiao was a very motivated and responsible person. Every day, he would learn how to run the factory.

The company was a three-story building with white tiles. When the sun shone, it reflected a dazzling white light.

After Xiao Lingyu arrived at the company, the employees greeted her. Some called her Lingyu, while others called her general manager.

Xiao Lingyu and her father went to the warehouse. “Yun ‘Er, are you done with the inventory of the stock tomorrow?” Xiao Lingyu entered and saw her busy cousin.

Xiao Lingyun nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve calculated all of them.”

Xiao Lingyu took out a notebook from the desk in front of her and matched them one by one. “Two hundred catties of red beans, two hundred catties of green beans, and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes...”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “These things will be transported over in a while. Get them on the truck!”

“Okay, I’ll get someone to get Fourth Uncle in a bit!” Xiao Lingyun nodded. Then, she asked hesitantly, “Sis, do you think we’ll be able to sell everything?”

It looks like everyone was worried about the grand opening tomorrow.

Xiao Lingyu smiled. “I don’t know either. But we’re testing the waters for now.”

Xiao Lingyun said worriedly, “If we really can’t sell all of them, what should we do with the rest?”

Xiao Lingyu, “...”

Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “In the past three months, with the help of the Zeng family’s vegetable shop, we have slowly established the reputation of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.”

Xiao Lingyun was still worried, “But even so, our vegetables are so expensive. How many people will buy them?”

Xiao Lingyu, “...” Forget it. Facts speak louder than words. Her family would understand when the shop opened.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t continue to dwell on this problem. She told Xiao Lingyun, ” Some dry goods can be shipped over in the morning and placed on the shelves. Oh, right. How many eggs and duck eggs did we get from the villagers?”

Xiao Lingyun glanced at the notebook and said, “There are 1,300 eggs, 500 duck eggs, and only 600 goose eggs.”

“Are these eggs from the families who bought the old cabbage leaves from us?” Xiao Lingyu’s shops would only offer the best produce.

Xiao Lingyun nodded, “Yes.” The livestock that was fed with the old cabbage leaves produced eggs that were different in color and texture.

It was difficult for the villagers to fake them.

Usually, the eggs in the countryside were sold by the piece. It was 80 cents per egg.

However, Xiao Lingyu bought these eggs for 1.20 RMB each. That was 40 cents more for each egg.

Some villagers naturally tried to find a loophole, but unfortunately, the color and texture of the eggs laid by the chickens that had eaten Xiao Lingyu’s old cabbages were different from normal.

Some villagers secretly complained about this. After all, if they didn’t buy the old cabbage leaves, they would have rotted in the field. Xiao Lingyu demanded that they pay to buy the old cabbage leaves to feed the chickens and ducks.

Granted, the old cabbage leaves were much cheaper. They were only 20 cents per catty. But 20 cents was still money. They could use 20 cents to buy fresh vegetables in town.

Xiao Lingyu was really money-hungry. She wanted to suck the villagers dry. However, Xiao Lingyu also promised to buy the special eggs at a high price. Therefore, the villagers still bought the old cabbage leaves from her.

The old cabbage leaves cost 20 cents per catty. But the eggs laid by the chickens, ducks, and geese fed by these leaves would earn them more money than normal eggs. They would still earn a net profit.

Therefore, in spite of the complaints, the villagers still bought the old cabbage leaves.

Why Xiao Lingyu insisted on selling the leaves was because she was unwilling to pamper these people.

Once these people got used to her pampering, they would take advantage of her. This would lead to ungratefulness. Xiao Lingyu was rich, but she could not help the villagers without restraint.

It was better to teach a person how to fish than to give them fish!

She had already provided these villagers with many tools, so she was not going to hand the money over to them.

Xiao Lingyu and the Xiao family had always been clear about this.

Those who wanted to complain could only complain in secret. If those people really complained to the Xiao Family, the Xiao family would definitely retort back sharply.

The Xiao family was not so easy to bully, especially now that the Xiao family had more confidence.

Besides, Xiao Lingyu wouldn’t have let the old cabbage leaves rot in the fields if she didn’t sell them to the villagers. She had other uses for them.

Xiao Lingyu checked all the stock in the warehouse. Currently, the supermarket was mainly selling vegetables. The other things were sold on the side.

Xiao Lingyu looked at the time and felt that she had to go home.

Otherwise, Xiao Tong would be hungry again.

When she thought of Xiao Tong, Xiao Lingyu’s heart softened.

Her son was born at full term and was well-fed. After he was born, he was white, tender, and cute. She was glad that Xiao Tong was healthier than he was in her previous life.

When Xiao Lingyu returned home, she saw Mother Xiao teasing Xiao Tong.

Mother Xiao said, “Come, come, baby. Smile for Grandma! Why is my baby so sensible? You can understand whatever Grandma says.”

Then, hearing the footsteps outside, Mother Xiao said with a smile, “Ah, mommy is back. Mommy is back, so the baby can eat. He won’t be hungry anymore!”
