Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Brother Lu Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Brother Lu Shen Mianmian wasn’t worried at all about purchasing winter lons; they were abundant and low-cost, with nearly every household growing them. Many people were even tired of eating them.
They didn’t have the mindset to go sell their winter lons. So had more than they could eat, and they would just rot away. If soone said they were buying winter lons, most people would gladly sell, as long as they were paid in cash.
As for the capital needed to buy the winter lons, Shen Mianmian was also not worried. It didn’t take much to start buying them, and even if she couldn’t sell them, she could just take them back ho to eat.
Before being cut open, winter lons were quite good at keeping.
Lu Siyuan didn’t want to dampen Shen Mianmian’s enthusiasm, but there was a fact that he had to tell her, “Winter lons don’t sell well in the city, urban residents don’t like to store vegetables. They buy their groceries close to ho and prefer fresh produce, purchasing only a little each ti.”
In the city, it’s not like in the countryside where a al is for a large family. Urban families are usually just three or four people and can’t eat much in one al. Even a small winter lon weighs over twenty pounds, which a family cannot finish in two or three days.
“That’s not a problem, why not just sell them cut?” In the twenty-first century, waterlons were sold in slices, so why not winter lons? In big supermarkets, aren’t pumpkins and winter lons sold in pieces?
“Sell them cut?” Lu Siyuan was taken aback by Shen Mianmian’s idea, “How did you think of that?”
How co he had never thought of that?
“Eh… This is called ‘drawing inspiration’…” In Shen Mianmian’s view, ‘drawing inspiration’ sounded better than ‘imitating’.
“Drawing inspiration from whom?” Lu Siyuan stared at Shen Mianmian with a strange expression.
“Don’t get hung up on these minor details.”
Shen Mianmian added a handful of firewood to the pot, looking at Lu Siyuan mischievously, not bothering to hide her cunning ambitions.
“Don’t look at like that, it’s no use,” Lu Siyuan imdiately dashed Shen Mianmian’s fantasies, “My family didn’t grow any winter lons.”
His grandfather had a bad back, he had to go to school, and it was almost too much to tend to the family’s fields, let alone have the energy to grow winter lons.
However, he did not plan to stay out of it, “After we eat, I’ll go ask other families if they have any to sell.”
“I knew you wouldn’t let down, kid.” Shen Mianmian jumped up excitedly and slapped Lu Siyuan on the shoulder, buying within their own village was the best option.
If it were in Zhao Family’s village, that would alert her own family. Going to other villages, people wouldn’t trust the word of two kids.
“Who are you calling ‘kid’?” Lu Siyuan glared at her, “You’re not even older than .”
“Just by a few months, right?” Shen Mianmian was unimpressed. What’s there to fuss about this?
“Being older by one day is still older,” Lu Siyuan bragged, “You should be grateful I’m not making you call ‘Brother Lu’!”
Brother Lu?
Shen Mianmian shuddered with goosebumps, calling soone who could be her son ‘brother’—wasn’t that asking for her life?
Shen Mianmian, with her mind full of money, didn’t dwell too much on the matter.
She suggested to Lu Siyuan, “We’re not very old, and people might not take us seriously. You could go on behalf of Grandpa. Everyone knows his back is bad, and they won’t question your authority.”
After thinking it over, Shen Mianmian added, “Just say I have relatives who work in a factory cafeteria in the city.”
That way, people would believe they were truly purchasing winter lons.
After hearing Shen Mianmian’s words, Lu Siyuan gave a very genuine assessnt, “You’re quite the scher.”
In the past, she kept to herself with no presence at school. He hadn’t expected that she was the smartest one in school, and the teachers had all been mistaken.
