Chapter 66 Happy Cooperation
The refreshing taste traveled from the throat to the stomach, bringing a wonderful feeling to the whole body, as if this lettuce had just grown from the ground after being nourished by wind and rain and carefully cultivated, and was then put into their mouths.
A refreshing sensation lingers on the tip of the tongue, and the greasiness of the dishes that were just eaten is cleverly relieved after taking a bite of lettuce.
It made my stomach feel much better.
Not only the principal, but everyone else shared this feeling.
They couldn't help but think that the organic lettuce in a five-star Western restaurant probably tasted like this, or even better.
Xia Shiyu stopped eating as soon as she saw Director Qin carrying a plate of lettuce over.
Even though she wasn't a particularly picky eater, after experiencing gourmet food, she became very sensitive to ordinary vegetables.
This vegetable is too old, that vegetable is not fresh, and this fruit is too bland.
These minor flaws were negligible, but she didn't pay much attention to them. So when she saw the students eating lettuce during the college entrance exam, she stopped eating and observed their reactions.
Seeing everyone's silent demeanor after eating the lettuce, she knew that this was yet another group of people lured by the fairytale vegetable.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the others began to speak one after another.
“Principal, I think this dish could be included in the cafeteria.”
"Yes, the students will definitely be very satisfied with this quality of vegetables."
"Yes, yes, cough cough, I feel that we cannot let Director Qin's painstaking efforts go to waste."
The principal frowned at first, "Aren't these teachers being too hasty? How can such a thing be decided so easily?"
Director Qin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
The principal's words made the others feel a little embarrassed, and they all sighed inwardly, "No wonder he's the principal; he can remain so calm in the face of such delicious food."
However, the principal coughed a few times awkwardly, "Ahem, but I also think the quality of this dish is very good and it is very beneficial to the students' physical and mental health. I still hope that Mr. Xia will cooperate with us."
Xia Shiyu couldn't hold back any longer. She thought the principal was still dissatisfied, but it turned out he just wanted to talk about it later.
"Of course, Principal, we can talk business."
Reassured by the principal's affirmation, Director Qin assured him, "Principal, please rest assured, I will definitely finalize the cooperation with Boss Xia."
The principal nodded, and then the group discussed the matter of cooperating with the school cafeteria.
However, the principal and others were quite busy, so they had to leave in a hurry halfway through the conversation, leaving only Director Qin and Xia Shiyu to discuss it.
Actually, everything else has been discussed and agreed upon, but we still need to argue a bit about the supply volume and price.
Undeterred, Mr. Qin asked, "Mr. Xia, can't the price really be any lower?"
Xia Shiyu shook his head, "Director Qin, this price is already very cheap. You all know the quality of this dish. To be honest, if I took this dish outside, everyone would be fighting over it at this price."
"If it doesn't work out, we may have to give up on this collaboration."
Director Qin got anxious as soon as he heard this. He was just haggling out of habit, and he definitely wouldn't give up such delicious food.
Finally, he came up with a solution: "How about this, Mr. Xia? I'll just order enough vegetables for about 1000 people for now. We'll just deliver that amount of vegetables every day for the time being. Once the students can accept it, I'll increase the order."
After careful calculation, Mr. Qin realized that his school had about 4000 students, and about one-third of them were day students. So he decided to order some first and see how the students responded.
Even if it tastes good, the high price means many students from poor families won't be able to afford it.
Therefore, it's best to start with 1000 people. This number will be sufficient to accommodate all the school's faculty and staff.
Xia Shiyu nodded after listening to Director Qin's words. Earning less is still earning, and this steady and pragmatic approach is quite good.
Although she is confident in her vegetables, she also needs to consider many factors.
"Alright, Director Qin, let's leave it at that for now. It'll be a pleasure working together."
Xia Shiyu extended his hand, and Director Qin quickly shook it, looking very happy.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The two exchanged WeChat contacts. When Xia Shiyu left, she told Director Qin that he should pay more attention to her WeChat Moments, as she would post pictures of new vegetables.
"Okay, I'll definitely keep an eye on it then."
After resolving the matter, Xia Shiyu drove her tricycle back home. On the way, she thought about it and realized that it wouldn't be feasible to have any more people come to cooperate later.
Because she now has channels to sell her vegetables, she doesn't need to worry about them going to waste, or even about supply shortages.
Fortunately, her vegetables grow very quickly, so she's not worried about that problem for now. However, she can't grow other vegetables either, as autumn is followed by winter, and those are the only vegetables she can grow.
For now, she can focus on taking care of the vegetables, but she can look for orange saplings, preferably the kind that will ripen this winter.
The oranges grow very well here; every winter, the orange trees at home provide fresh fruit for visiting relatives.
With that thought in mind, she hurried back to the village.
When she got home, she saw a group of people gathered at the village entrance. She was startled, wondering if something had happened at home. She quickly hurried to the door and jumped down.
After parking the car, I hurried forward, only to find that the gate to the courtyard was also blocked.
She could only push through the crowd, pleading, "Please make way, please make way, let me in. What's going on?"
The onlookers, who were initially annoyed when someone tugged at their shoulders, turned around, but immediately stepped aside upon seeing that it was Xia Shiyu.
He even shouted to the people inside, "Everyone, make way, Shi Yu is back."
Others who heard the sound or saw the person quickly made way.
Someone else said, "It seems like Shi Yu is from your aunt's family. She said your uncle was in a car accident and she's here to call for help."
"What!" Xia Shiyu became even more nervous when she heard that something had happened to her aunt's family, and quickly walked inside.
When I entered the courtyard, I found that the gate was closed, and my grandparents were sitting outside.
When her maternal grandparents saw her arrive, they urged her to come inside quickly.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and go inside. Your aunt and the others are talking inside."
"Okay, I'll go in right away." Xia Shiyu hurriedly took a few steps inside.
