Chapter 410 - 410: Logistics
“What, 6,000 catties of vegetables a day?”
Hearing Gu Qingming say that they had signed an order, the Shi family felt that it was unbelievable!
“6,000 catties? That’s a lot? Do you need that much every day?” Grandpa Shi asked!
Shi Hangyu nodded and said, “Yes! There are four hotels, and that’s the amount every day!”
When Third Uncle heard this, he said excitedly, “To think that I’ve always been worried. How can we sell so many vegetables? I didn’t expect them to be sold so quickly! How did you do it?”
Most importantly, it was so expensive!
It was much more expensive than ordinary vegetables!
“We just made some dishes in the hotel. Then, the fragrance of the vegetables attracted the people in charge!” Shi Hangyu said!
“As long as the item is good, it will be discovered and noticed!”
“Most importantly, the guests who go to those hotels to eat are either rich or noble! Those people don’t lack money at all. No matter how much money they spend, it’s just a number! They’re just greedy for enjoyment! Our family’s vegetables, be it the appearance or the way they eat, are absolutely unrivaled in the market. Eating our vegetables is a real enjoyment. As long as the person in charge of the hotel is not blind and his taste buds are not out of order, he will definitely be able to discover the value of our vegetables!” Shi Yaoqing said with a smile!
Of course, they did not mention anything about what happened to Hua Yuxin and Guo Meili!
Grandpa Shi nodded and said, “We don’t have to worry about the whereabouts of the vegetables! But I have to be responsible to the customers!”
“That must be it!”
“Eldest Daughter-in-law, hire a few helpers to pick vegetables every morning!” Grandpa instructed. “The harvest must be fresh only when it’s a day! The transportation is far, so we have to pick them earlier!”
Eldest Aunt smiled and said, “Alright, Dad. I’ll ask around later!”
“6,000 catties a day. I’m afraid we’ll have to hire a few more people!” Eldest Uncle said!
“Hire as many as you can. Work quickly!” Grandpa Shi looked at Gu Qingming and suddenly asked, “Mingming, what do you have to say?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “The trip went smoothly. The journey to Province Z’s capital is about two hours. It’s about four hours to South City, almost five hours! The ingredients used in the hotel have to be the freshest! When they make all kinds of breakfast for the guests, it’s at most three to four o’clock! With these times added up, no matter how early we wake up, it’s very difficult to transport the vegetables in time!”
When Grandpa Shi, Eldest Uncle, and the others heard this, they frowned slightly and asked curiously, “Mingming, what do you mean?”
Gu Qingming said, “We don’t need to get up in the middle of the night to pick our vegetables! We can start picking them as long as it’s dark!”
Eldest Uncle asked, “Will this not be fresh enough? What if they haven’t sold all the dishes that day and keep them? Won’t these dishes be gone?”
Gu Qingming said confidently, “Eldest Uncle, I think this problem should not exist! It’s mainly because our vegetables shouldn’t have any problems!”
“Haha… Mingming, you’re so confident!”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Eldest Uncle, I’ve always been very confident! We’ll start picking at night. After we pick and choose, we’ll load the cart and so on. Then, we’ll be busy for at least three to four hours. When we transport it to South City and arrive at the hotel, it will be in time for the hotels to use the ingredients! The ingredients at this moment can be said to be the freshest!”
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!” Grandpa Shi said!
