Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Busy till Headache (3/3) Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Busy till Headache (3/3) Okay, of course, it’s okay. My aunt is considering her best interest, and she thinks the same way. “Aunt, I have no problem, Brother Tianyu is indeed the boss.”
Fan Tianyu also caught on immediately. He was a grown man and understood most things. Knowing their family situation and that Mei Mengzhen had money, they might really trick her out of it. “That’s right, this is how it should be said. I hadn’t thought of it before, thankfully mom reminded me. Otherwise, I might have slipped up during dinner tomorrow.”
“What if they see me helping out when I go there?” Mei Mengzhen felt that although there wasn’t much time to help out, she definitely wanted to do so when she had time. After all, even if it wasn’t told to outsiders, she still needed to get paid. Since there was work to be done, she naturally wanted to do as much as possible.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. Just say you’re helping out to earn some pocket money.” Liang Xiao was just helping her with pocket money anyway, so she shifted the excuse onto her.
Mei Yinan, worried that Mei Mengzhen would overthink, thus said, “Don’t worry, your money is still yours. How and when you settle accounts is between you. What was said earlier is just an explanation for outsiders, it won’t affect how the money is distributed between you.”
“I understand, aunt. I didn’t overthink it. If anyone asks, that’s what I’ll say.”
After all, my aunt had thought things through much more thoroughly than they had. After the conversation, she naturally went downstairs, and Mei Yinan went home with Fan Tianhua.
Although she didn’t do homework today, Mei Mengzhen was never idle for a moment. After she tucked her brother into bed early, she went into the Spatial Mall and busied herself, planting vegetables, harvesting fruit, and collecting seafood from the pond. Then she had to process and handle it all without a moment’s rest.
After all that was handled, she didn’t rest. Her seeds could only be grown once, and she was using them up quickly during this period. She took out her previous notebook, which listed the types of vegetables, and selected and bought them one by one. The unused seeds from the first floor were also moved out by her thoughts, and then the first floor was once again filled to the brim with newly purchased seeds.
Then, Mei Mengzhen bought a lot of poultry, fish, and shrimp to continue breeding. Since she was planning to do this for a year’s time, the more of these things, the better.
After that, she also bought more poultry and lots of feed to stack on one side, so the Osmanthus Tree could feed them automatically.
Once all these tasks were completed, she finally had the time to entertain a new idea that had been formulating in her mind.
That was to rear dairy cows.
She definitely wouldn’t eat the beef of dairy cows, but dairy cows produce milk. With processing through the Spatial Mall, did that mean she would no longer need to buy milk in the future?
Mei Mengzhen was quite excited about this possibility. She immediately ordered two dairy cows, which, like ordinary cows, needed 4 bags of feed to grow. Of course, they wouldn’t finish 4 bags of feed so quickly, so after buying the dairy cows, she didn’t bother with them anymore.
A night of good dreams.
The next morning, Mei Mengzhen got up early to set up the vegetables she prepared yesterday. Today’s buying price was still 25,000 yuan. After setting everything up, she headed home to prepare breakfast.
There was plenty of time in the morning, so she took out some dough she had made previously and filled it with meat to make dumpling soup, about four bowls’ worth. Then she added the remaining meat to some greens and made some dumplings and buns, half of which she steamed and the other half she pan-fried. By the time she finished, not only had Fan Tianyu and Mei Mengchen woken up, Fan Tianhua was also knocking on the door.
“Zhenzhen, are you up?”
Mei Mengzhen quickly set aside her work and answered, “Coming.”
After Fan Tianhua entered and saw the breakfast on the table, he smiled broadly, “I knew you would have something delicious. Indeed, are these buns and dumplings all for breakfast?”
“That’s right, half pan-fried, half steamed. A bowl of dumpling soup should be enough.”
“Okay, I’ll help.”
Fan Tianyu rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.
Breakfast was satisfying, and afterwards, it was time to get busy with the day’s work.
Mei Mengzhen and Fan Tianhua needed to walk to the front vegetable market; otherwise, the truck would be missing two crates of vegetables, which Fan Tianyu was not willing to part with.
The two of them walked there, but Mei Mengchen didn’t need to; he could just sit in the passenger seat without any delay. So, Fan Tianyu took Mei Mengchen to the warehouse to haul the goods, and then they drove straight to the vegetable market. This way, timing was just right.
As she expected, Fan Tianyu, who had been working efficiently for several days, had already set up the vegetables by the time she and Fan Tianhua arrived at the market; he was now placing the scales.
Mei Mengzhen hurriedly approached, “Brother Tianyu, you’re working too fast.”
“You two are too slow. Come on, with your help, I think we could sell it all by noon.”
Mei Mengzhen was enthusiastic and started selling vegetables, followed by Fan Tianyu driving off to haul the second load.
…
Just as she expected, the business was booming, and during the National Day holiday, people buying vegetables for visiting relatives increased even more.
Fan Tianhua had never seen buying vegetables turn into such a frenzy, like the crazy sales in a mall.
Mad rush? This term seemed more fitting.
Fortunately, Mei Mengzhen didn’t expect Fan Tianhua to do much on her first day, simply letting her hold bags and pack vegetables. “Everyone, don’t rush, there’s more coming. Here, 380 yuan.”
Mei Mengzhen took the money and handed over the vegetables.
One customer after another, the sales were relentless. When Fan Tianyu arrived with the truck again, the first batch of vegetables was nearly sold out.
Fan Tianyu quickly unloaded the vegetables and stacked them in place. Round after round, truly, he made four trips, and by the end of the morning, all the vegetables were sold.
Today, Fan Tianyu only drove the truck and only helped on the last trip, so he wasn’t too tired. But the two most exhausted people were Mei Mengzhen and Fan Tianhua. In October, despite wearing short sleeves, they were sweating profusely, with Fan Tianhua being especially overwhelmed.
The crates on the return journey were naturally not packed as neatly as when they arrived; they were just tossed in the back, but the two of them were able to squeeze into the rear seats.
Once they sat down in the truck, Fan Tianhua rubbed her forehead and said, “I’m so busy I’ve got a headache. Brother, do you always have such good business? Can you really handle it?”
“That’s why when I get home every day, I don’t even want to move. Now you see how hard your brother usually works.”
Fan Tianhua nodded blankly, “Yeah, I see. But, brother, I worked so hard, you have to pay me a salary.”
Fan Tianyu laughed, “I knew there was a reason you were calling me brother so nicely. Turns out you want money. Here, I’m in a good mood, so take it all. Chenchen gets a share too. Today, Chenchen ran with me several times; he worked hard and deserves a share.”
Mei Mengchen smiled, “Thank you, Brother Tianyu. Give the money to sister.”
“Your sister has money; she won’t miss her share. This is your allowance.”
After a long ponder, Mei Mengchen frowned and said, “No, give it all to sister.”
