After Fan Tianyu came back, he took out the signed contract and spoke with a serious face, “I’ll have someone go clean this afternoon. I’ve checked and I can’t do it myself; this task has to be left to a professional team. After all, we’re selling food, and cleanliness is definitely important. It’s just a garage; as long as it’s cleaned, that should be enough. One afternoon should suffice, and if not, adding tomorrow morning should do it. I plan to buy a vehicle tomorrow afternoon.”
Mei Mengzhen asked curiously, “What kind of vehicle are you buying, a pickup? A Wuling?”
Both vehicles are suitable for hauling vegetables, but in terms of price, Wuling is more economical. “A Wuling then, it’s cheaper and can carry more.”
A few tens of thousands of yuan should be enough. With the speed at which they were making money, they could quickly recoup the cost of the vehicle, but he had no savings on hand. He would have to borrow the money from his parents.
“I have to talk to my parents about our partnership in selling vegetables; otherwise, I can’t buy the vehicle. I’ll borrow from them. I don’t need their money; I just need to pay them back.”
“But if your aunt finds out you started selling vegetables in the Vegetable Market right after graduating from university, would you still make it out alive? Oh right, Brother Tianyu, are you still going to live here with me?”
Fan Tianyu nodded. He did plan to stay there. Even if he was selling vegetables near home, he didn’t want to go back. Only after leaving home did he realize how much freedom there was outside. Now, he wanted nothing but freedom and money.
Thus, he had to come clean about selling vegetables. “I think I should tell them, but it’s all about how I say it. Sister, you’ve got to help me think of a way to stay alive a bit longer.”
Mei Mengzhen became serious too because once she brought up this topic, she couldn’t hide the fact that she had been selling vegetables for a week. She wondered if her aunt would blame them both. But they couldn’t just leave it unsaid; the Market was not far from home, and as long-term vegetable sellers, they were bound to run into relatives eventually. So, she concluded, “I think we should just be honest and shut our aunt up with money.”
Fan Tianyu sincerely felt, “That really is a good idea.”
“First, get the cleaning done. Tomorrow, no, I have school tomorrow, and you have to buy the car. It’s best if you clear this up with your aunt tonight so she can give you the money tomorrow. Then you can go straight to buy the car, and start doing business the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, we’d have to wait another day, and we’d miss out on how much money we could make in that time. So, I think the sooner the better.”
Fan Tianyu nearly laughed out loud, “You’re right, the sooner the better. Now, what are we eating tonight?”
“We haven’t even had lunch yet.”
What to eat for lunch? She was so busy that morning she didn’t feel like making lunch at all. The task inevitably fell to Fan Tianyu, whose only cooking skill was making noodles. They had noodles that morning, and again for lunch, muddling their way through two meals. After washing the dishes, Fan Tianyu began to protest, “No noodles for dinner, okay? I’ll call my mom over later to cook. What do you want to eat tonight?”
“Braised pig’s trotters. I need to replenish my collagen to keep my skin bouncy.”
Fan Tianyu rolled his eyes, “You’re only 17, your skin is already bouncy. But pig’s trotters do sound delicious, let’s have that.”
Fan Tianyu took pig’s trotters out of the freezer, along with a duck and some greens. “Let’s make a duck soup. I’ve been feeling quite heated lately.”
“Fine, duck soup is delicious. Chenchen, is there anything you especially want to eat?”
Mei Mengchen thought for a moment, “I want to eat dumplings.”
Fan Tianyu also fetched some meat, “You can make your own dumplings, we have flour at home. I’ll ask my mom to come over and knead it. Then we won’t need to cook dinner, right?”
“Okay, we have dumpling wrappers in the fridge, I put them there. I’ll come find you if you can’t find them.”
She never actually took out the dumpling wrappers, but she did have them in her space. If Mei Mengchen wanted to eat, they could come in handy.
As soon as Mei Mengzhen mentioned coming to find something, Fan Tianyu immediately stepped aside. Using the cover of the refrigerator, she retrieved a bag of dumpling wrappers from her space, “Here they are, just wrap them and we’re good to go.”
Fan Tianyu asked curiously, “Did you buy the dumpling wrappers outside?”
“They’re from his place too; they have everything there. It’s just that I can’t cook, so I only took so much. When winter comes, we can also sell mutton. Mutton is expensive, and we can have off-season vegetables and fruits, allowing us to raise prices during the winter.”
“Fruit? What else is there? I’m quite fond of durian; do they have it there?” Fan Tianyu was just saying it offhand; how could a vegetable market sell durian?
However, “There is.” She had some in her space but had never eaten it, even though she had been longing for it, “If you want to eat, I’ll go get one later.”
“Sure, I’ve really been wanting to eat it. Are there any other fruits?”
“I don’t know what you want. Just name it, and I’ll fetch it.”
Fan Tianyu asked curiously, “Is it that easy to get?”
“Not exactly. I saw durians this morning, so that’s why I mentioned it. If they have the fruit you want, I can bring some along, otherwise, forget it.”
“Just durian then, oh, and watermelon.”
“Okay, I’ll go with a cart. You guys wait here.”
With that, she went out, dragging the cart behind her. There were quite a few people coming and going on the afternoon streets. It took Mei Mengzhen a while to find a quiet corner. Then she placed two durians, two watermelons, some persimmons, and fragrant pears in the cart before dragging it back home.
As for durians, those who liked them really enjoyed it, those who didn’t, ran far away from the smell.
But she really liked eating them, despite their high sugar and heat-inducing content.
Unexpectedly, Fan Tianyu also loved durians, but it was uncertain if Mei Mengchen could accept them.
She definitely could, as there wasn’t a fruit from her space that wasn’t enjoyable.
As soon as Mei Mengzhen pulled the cart back home, she was encircled by the two of them, and they started with the durian. Savoring the flavor, Mei Mengchen mused for a long time, “Sister, this is really delicious.”
After the fruit, Fan Tianyu went out. He must have contacted someone because, after arranging for the cleaning, he also managed to bring his parents over to their place.
The couple didn’t mind; it didn’t matter where they ate, and besides, they could see their children at that location.
Upon entering the door, Mei Yinan got busy right away. Seeing the vegetables in the sink, she couldn’t stop muttering about how the kids didn’t know how to live properly, yet she was moving her hands, preparing dinner for everyone.
Duck and winter melon soup, soy-braised pig’s trotters needed time to stew, so she had to start early. Once those were ready, she began to prepare the dumpling filling before sitting on the sofa, with the family gathering around to wrap dumplings.
They were wrapping dumplings on one side, and on the other, Fan Tianyu was hesitant to speak. The couple could obviously see something was up, but they just waited, expecting Fan Tianyu to break the silence.
