Chapter 68 -68 Late (2/3)

Tianyu’s words made everyone feel a bit better, waiting for half an hour wasn’t too bad.

After returning to his vehicle, Tianyu delivered the watermelons he had prepared as a thank you to Sister Zhang’s house. Using her doorstep to do business, she had even lent a hand when he was too busy. Being kind to others, giving her the watermelon was certainly not a loss.

“Sister Zhang, please try this watermelon.”

Sister Zhang’s eyes widened, clearly shocked by the size of the watermelon, “This watermelon is too big, and there’s still watermelon available at this time of the year?”

It was now the end of September, nearly October, and off-season watermelons were definitely available but rare. Moreover, this watermelon looked too round, too aesthetic, and quite big. According to the standard of their vegetable sales, this watermelon was definitely not cheap.

“Yes, I have everything for sale. Sister Zhang, I’ll go back to fetch some vegetables first. I’ll stop by again later, please take it inside.”

“This, how could I accept this.”

After placing the watermelon on Sister Zhang’s counter, Tianyu turned around and left, driving away quickly.

He first returned home and emptied all the money from his bag onto the sofa. But having the money scattered on the sofa was no good, so Tianyu grabbed a black trash bag from under the coffee table, stuffed the money into it handful by handful, and then hid it in his room.

He had already counted the money, a total of 9,400 yuan.

The amount was certainly substantial. If it had been all in hundred-yuan notes, it wouldn’t have been bulky enough to strain the bag. The fact was, most transactions at the Vegetable Market involved smaller denominations, mostly tens and twenties, fewer fifties and hundreds. One can imagine just how bulging that bag was.

Tianyu frowned with displeasure, “Zhenzhen’s bag is too small, it could barely fit this little money. I’ll buy a bigger one later.”

This was back in 2007. If it were 2021, it would have been a clear case of Versailles.

Complaining about a small bag that couldn’t fit all the money, his face was sure big, acting as if he had so much money.

After securing the money, Tianyu didn’t hesitate to load another cartful of goods and sold another round at the market, impressively fast.

The people’s enthusiasm for buying vegetables hadn’t waned at all. Seeing that there was still time, Tianyu announced, “I’ve got a little more produce left, come back in half an hour, it’ll be my last trip.”

Tianyu then swiftly returned, selling out all the vegetables in the Garage.

By the time he got back home, it coincided with Mengzhen’s noon school dismissal, and they entered the house together.

Observing Tianyu’s exhausted appearance, she asked, “Brother Tianyu, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m so tired, let me rest for a while.”

Once inside, Tianyu collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all. Mengzhen, as usual, reheated the lunch she had prepared in the microwave. After the meal was ready, she considerately handed Tianyu a cup of Spiritual Spring Water.

Spiritual Spring Water, she had never given it to anyone but her brother before, fearing its obvious effects would give away too much. However, seeing Tianyu in such a state, she worried he might collapse from exhaustion, so she kindly offered him a cup of Spiritual Spring Water.

As expected, immediately after drinking the Spiritual Spring Water, Tianyu bounced back to life. “Zhenzhen, why do I feel like you gave me not just water, but magical water? I feel revitalized after drinking it.”

“You must be dehydrated from being busy all morning. Drink more water, you’ll feel better. Do you want another cup?” Mengzhen inquired. Tianyu nodded quickly, but the next cup she gave him wasn’t Spiritual Spring Water. After drinking it, Tianyu felt no different and smacked his lips saying, “This water doesn’t have the same effect as the first one. Looks like I really was dehydrated.”

With his energy restored, Tianyu joined Mengzhen at the dining table to share the morning’s achievements.

“I sold out all the vegetables and fruits in the Warehouse in one morning. I made three trips, working from 9 AM without a moment’s rest.”

After finishing his sentence, Tianyu continued eating, but Mengzhen could hardly continue with her meal. That was 23,000 yuan’s worth of vegetables, and he sold it all in one morning?

“The business is so good? Were you able to manage all by yourself?”

Tianyu waved his hand, “Thankfully, Sister Zhang helped out. I even gave her a big watermelon.”

“It’s fine to do that. Sister Zhang used to help me too when I was there. She’s really kind-hearted.”

“I only counted the money from the first trip. The next two times, I didn’t have time to count. I didn’t change the prices of the vegetables you sold before, but I set my own prices for the fruits. I thought it was reasonable. The mangoes were so big, five yuan each seemed too cheap, and ten yuan seemed too expensive, so I sold them for 15 yuan for two. The grapes were so neatly presented, I just sold them outright for 30 yuan a bunch, and the big pears went for 5 yuan each.”

Truth be told, Tianyu sold out all the produce in three rounds, but the biggest earners were not the vegetables but rather the fruits and meats like chicken and duck.

Putting aside other things, he had already checked the price of the chicken and duck. They were approximately 50 yuan each, and he boldly priced them at a whopping 100 yuan apiece, yet customers still bought them incessantly.

As for the cost price, there was no need to worry. The selling price was definitely higher than the cost, otherwise, what would he earn? Shouts and screams?

Mengzhen nodded repeatedly, “You decide what’s best. Tell me the income and cost of the goods tonight, and I’ll keep the books.”

Perhaps truly worn out, Tianyu didn’t even want to wash the dishes after eating and lay back down on the sofa, immobile.

She voluntarily washed the dishes, then headed back to school.

Mengzhen was secretly excited. Just think, in one day, she had made 23,000 yuan, real tangible money, and this was her covert income, making a fortune all by herself in silence.

The more Mengzhen thought about it, the more excited she became, resulting in her calamity. In just the time it took to wash a dish, she was late.

Not only that, but Weng Dinglan’s class had already started. Mengzhen was puzzled; she hadn’t been that late. “Excuse me, teacher, I’m late.”

Weng Dinglan glanced at her and didn’t have any harsh words, “Just be more mindful of the time next time.”

No sooner had she spoken when her nephew, Weng Tao, appeared at the door and called out, “Reporting.”

Weng Dinglan looked at him and her tone wasn’t nearly as nice as before, “Oh my, why are you so early today? My class hasn’t even ended yet and here you are. You really treat the school like your own house, coming whenever you please. Get in, if it happens again next time, you’ll see what happens.”

Weng Tao walked in nonchalantly, went to his seat and lay down, immediately falling asleep.

Weng Dinglan took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm, not to get angry. Then she adjusted her attitude and continued with the lesson.

Meanwhile, at home, Tianyu, after resting a bit when Mengzhen had left, began counting his earnings for the day.
