Chapter 484: I Guarantee That, If You Plant Tomatoes This Season, You Won’t Lose Any Money
Dongfang Ming smiled when he heard him.
He had actually thought that Ye Liu, whom he had met and eaten with, was the elder brother.
The coachman looked at the shy and gentle Ye Ling and muttered in his heart, Although this fourth brother of Mr. Ye isn’t as handsome as Mr. Ye, isn’t he a bit too delicate – almost to the point of being feminine?
A villager wearing a basket backpack came beside the yard and said, “Ling, I am here to sell tomatoes. They were all picked today and are very fresh.”
The villager had already come quite a few times before, which was why Hei Xiaomeng didn’t bark at him. It just glanced at him and then continued playing.
“Oh okay.” Ye Ling replied, and just as he was about to call Liu Duo, she came out from the kitchen.
“Big Brother w.a.n.g, you brought tomatoes again. Did you plant a lot at your house?” Liu Duo smiled and greeted him.
The villager, called Big Brother w.a.n.g, smiled and said, “When Brother Liu said you guys would be buying them, I planted tomatoes in most of the fields at my house.”
He believed in Ye Liu a lot. Since he had said he would buy them, it meant he would definitely buy them. That was why he was unlike some other villagers, who only planted a little bit, because they didn’t fully believe Ye Liu.
Now that they had seen they were buying a large amount, those villagers would naturally earn less because they had planted less.
And so they couldn’t plant a lot even if they wanted to. After all, the majority of their fields were planted with the vegetables that were in season. How would they be willing to pull them out?
When Liu Duo heard him, she felt this Big Brother w.a.n.g had great foresight. She gave him a big thumbs up and said, “Thank you for having confidence in our Mr. Liuzi. I guarantee that, if you plant tomatoes this season, you won’t lose any money.”
She also knew that some of the villagers hadn’t planted many tomatoes, because they didn’t believe the Ye family would really buy the tomatoes. After all, they felt that tomatoes didn’t taste too good, so they didn’t really like them.
Upon hearing her, Big Brother w.a.n.g laughed splendidly, “Indeed. The money I earned the past few days is a lot more than the money I earned from selling vegetables in the past.”
Liu Duo felt even happier when she heard what he said. “Here’s the scale. After you measure it, just tell me how many jins and taels it is.”
Liu Duo went over beside her rocking chair and took the record book to record the transaction.
Dongfang Ming watched Liu Duo smiling at the villager and didn’t want to disrupt her work. Ye Ling, on the other hand, returned to the kitchen and continued lighting the fire to cook and peel the garlic.
“Forty-one jin.”
After Liu Duo record the transaction, she gave him the money.
Big Brother w.a.n.g didn’t leave immediately when he received the money. Instead, he said curiously, “Ye Lius.h.i.+, I saw a rich man’s carriage outside your yard just now.”
“Yeah, that is Mr. Dongfang’s carriage. He came to visit us for a while.” Liu Duo explained.
Upon hearing her, Big Brother w.a.n.g glanced over at Dongfang Ming and muttered in his heart, This Mister looks quite handsome.
After they exchanged a few more words, Big Brother w.a.n.g left.
Liu Duo sat on the rocking chair and rocked back and forth. “Mr. Dongfang, why don’t you stay and have lunch with us at noon?”
Dongfang Ming shook his head and said, “No, thank you. I have some things to attend to later. I’ll come another time to see the other two brothers who I have not met yet.”
His break had also ended. He hadn’t come to Anping Town just to see his business partner, Liu Duo.
He also needed to inspect some account books, because some of the stores in the villages there were in the red. He needed to inspect them properly.
Liu Duo didn’t try to persuade him when she heard what he said.
After they chatted for a while longer, Dongfang Ming finally got up and said goodbye. Liu Duo walked him to his carriage before turning around and going back inside.
