391: Chapter 389 The Beginning of Good Days 391: Chapter 389 The Beginning of Good Days After grasping Chen Yang’s intentions, Wu Kexin lost interest in choosing vegetables.
She directly took Chen Yang to the rice shop she had reserved and told the owner that she wanted to return fifty bags of rice.
The owner, seeing the quantity was halved, couldn’t help but ask, “What happened, beauty?
Didn’t you just agree everything was fine?
Why do you only want half now?”
“We have…”
Wu Kexin was just about to reply that they had a new source of rice, but before she could finish, Chen Yang pulled her back.
Chen Yang pulled Wu Kexin behind him, chuckling as he explained, “Boss, here’s the thing, it’s our first ti cooperating.
We’re not familiar with the taste or quality of your rice, so a one-ti purchase of a hundred bags is too much.
That’s why we’re returning fifty bags for now.
If we’re satisfied after eating, we’ll co back to buy more in a few days.”
The owner, upon hearing this excuse, although sowhat reluctant, thought of the possibility of ongoing future cooperation with Chen Yang, and didn’t dare to offend him.
After so thought, he finally agreed.
“Then I’ll trouble you, boss.”
Once the owner agreed, Chen Yang imdiately expressed his thanks.
The owner, with a forced smile, said you’re welco and then ordered the staff to unload fifty bags from the one hundred bags of rice that were already loaded on the truck.
After everything was unloaded, the owner asked, “Shall we leave now?”
The amount of rice, like the tables, was too much, so Chen Yang couldn’t possibly transport it back himself and had to ask the owner to deliver it.
“Village Chief, have you finished buying everything?”
Chen Yang turned back and asked Wu Kexin.
“Almost, but I still need to pick up so vegetables from the vegetable market.”
Wu Kexin nodded.
“All right then.”
Chen Yang turned to the owner, “Let’s set off, and have your truck follow behind my van.”
“Okay.”
The owner agreed, and the pickup truck loaded with rice drove out of the warehouse.
Chen Yang also got into the van with Wu Kexin and headed towards the vegetable market.
On the way, Wu Kexin couldn’t hold back her curiosity, “Chen Yang, why did you use that kind of excuse just now?
We’re definitely not going to co back next ti, so why didn’t you just tell him directly?”
She still didn’t understand why Chen Yang had pulled her back earlier.
Chen Yang smiled faintly, explaining, “Village Chief, this is where you lack social experience.
That rice shop owner is cunning.
If he knew you weren’t coming back, do you think he would return fifty bags for you?
Even if he did, he would likely raise the price.
But if you say you’ll co back next ti, it’s different.
He won’t dare offend you, will he?
He still has to sell it to you at the negotiated price, doesn’t he?
And he unloaded the fifty bags, right?”
With Chen Yang’s explanation, it suddenly dawned on Wu Kexin.
“You’re right.”
Wu Kexin imdiately understood Chen Yang’s rationale.
Afterward, the two drove to the vegetable market and moved all the vegetables Wu Kexin had purchased onto the van.
The rear seats of the van were completely filled with vegetables and ats, looking very plentiful.
Once the vegetables were loaded, Chen Yang drove straight to the store that sold tables.
The owner of the table shop was eagerly looking out for Chen Yang’s return.
Seeing Chen Yang hop out of the van, the owner’s smile was so big he almost couldn’t close his mouth.
“Boss, you’re finally back.
I’ve already prepared your tables, just waiting for you to transport them.” the owner said with a smile.
Seeing the radiant smile on the owner’s face, Chen Yang couldn’t help but show a slight smile himself.
“Isn’t this showing up?
Have your man drive the truck closely behind mine.
When we get to the destination, I’ll settle both the cost of the tables and the delivery fee together.”
Chen Yang said.
“Alright, alright, you lead the way, and I’ll have my guy follow in the truck behind you.”
The owner nodded repeatedly and imdiately went to the warehouse.
Shortly after, a reasonably large truck loaded with folding wooden tables drove out from the alley next to the shop.
Chen Yang glanced unintentionally, then turned to get in the van and led the way.
The truck loaded with rice, along with the truck carrying tables, followed closely behind, returning to Liuhe Village with Chen Yang.
When Chen Yang and Wu Kexin set off, it was only one o’clock.
By the ti they returned, it was already between four and five in the afternoon.
However, there weren’t many people in the village at this ti; most were still up at the quarry on the hillside.
Chen Yang parked the van in front of the clinic, with the two vehicles coming to a halt behind him.
Chen Yang was the first to jump out of the lead vehicle.
Seeing Chen Yang get out, the drivers of the vehicles behind hastily engaged their handbrakes and then leaped out as well.
“Boss, is this the place?”
The round table store owner asked Chen Yang with a smile.
Chen Yang nodded, “Yes, this is it.
You can start unloading.”
“All right.”
With affirmation, the owners of the two vehicles didn’t dawdle and called their helpers to start unloading.
In a short while, fifty bags of rice, thirty-five wooden tables, and several hundred stools were all unloaded from the trucks and placed in front of Chen Yang’s house.
Once everything was offloaded and Chen Yang had checked that nothing was amiss, Kexin paid the bill.
The owners, after receiving the money and expressing their thanks heartily, drove off in their trucks.
Chen Yang then made a trip to the canteen to call everyone over to help with the tables and the rice.
Many hands make light work, after all, and moving stuff wasn’t too tiring.
As soon as the aunts heard Chen Yang ntion needing help, they all ca over enthusiastically, and in no ti, all the wooden tables and benches were carried to the canteen, along with all the rice into the inside,
Two temporary canteens were set up.
The smaller one was used as the cooking space, while the larger one was for storing pots, pans, ladles, and staples like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
The rice that was purchased was all placed there.
“Has everyone started cooking dinner yet?
If not, should I unload the vegetables from the van first, so we can have sothing fresh tonight?”
After the unloading, Chen Yang took a brief rest, then stood up and asked,
“Not yet, Yang Zi.
Let’s do it all in one go to avoid hassle tomorrow.”
“Yeah, we’ve still got space, so storing so vegetables shouldn’t be a problem.”
…
Upon hearing there were still vegetables to be unloaded, all the aunts stood up again, ready to carry the vegetables.
Chen Yang thought it over and agreed, considering it would be troubleso to keep them in his van.
It was better to get it done in one go.
So Chen Yang led everyone to unload all the vegetables and such from his van.
Then, the whole canteen beca officially bustling with activity.
Those washing the vegetables washed, and those cooking cooked; it was a lively scene.
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were genuinely delighted.
“This is a great start; it won’t take long for our village to beco wealthy!”
Chen Yang exclaid.
“Yes, if every household has an inco, within a year our lives will beco more prosperous.”
“And the benefits the quarry can bring are certainly not limited to these.
We’re just at the beginning and don’t see it all yet.
Once the quarry grows in scale, it will definitely drive other industries.
By that ti, Liuhe Village will be even more affluent.”
Wu Kexin had a blueprint for Liuhe Village’s prosperity in her heart.
With mineral veins and villagers like Chen Yang, she found it straightforward to envision the village’s wealth.
