"I do know a place by the Imperial Capital, there’s a small town next door that specializes in radishes. If you’re interested, I can take you there to have a look."
Thinking of something, Yuan Junkai raised his eyebrows, "Xiaofeng, you aren’t really planning to set up a branch in the Imperial Capital, are you?"
"Don’t worry, I will definitely ensure the quality. To think bigger, transportation is a major issue. To solve the transportation and distribution problem, opening a branch is certainly necessary. To expand nationwide, there will be many limitations regarding transportation, it’s still not suitable to establish transportation warehouses now, but considering a branch is possible."
Of course, this problem also has its challenges; she had no suitable person to manage it for her.
The person in charge must be very responsible and strict about quality.
So, whether to establish a distribution warehouse near the Imperial Capital or to build a branch, she still had to consider it.
Without further delay, after breakfast, Xiaofeng and Yuan Junkai headed to Chengbei City, adjacent to the Imperial Capital.
Just as Xiaofeng had left, Dragon King received the news that the Young Madam had left the Imperial Capital for Chengbei City.
Dragon King frowned, wondering why this woman was wandering around for no reason, but she was now Gu Yecheng’s wife, not his; why should he care so much, "Why are you telling me where she went?"
"Master," An Yi said softly, "Chengbei City is quite chaotic. The Young Madam is so beautiful and she is a woman alone, don’t you think something might happen?"
"The bombing years ago, a few families lived in Chengbei City, Master, I think we could go check it out."
Dragon King nodded, "Then let’s go."
Yuan Junkai was not very familiar with Chengbei City, but his dad was. His dad had been a vegetable vendor there, so he knew the place well.
Yuan Junkai called Uncle Yuan to join him in Chengbei City to find good sources.
Uncle Yuan was of course willing to help. Ever since this rascal started working with Xiaofeng, he had changed for the better and was willing to work hard.
Compared to Yuan Junkai’s previous lack of action, his father was truly delighted by such a son. After all, a man should be capable of earning a living to stand tall in the world.
It was just a three-hour drive from the Imperial Capital to Chengbei City, and upon arrival, a friend of Uncle Yuan’s came to pick them up.
"Old Yuan, I thought you were never coming out again. I didn’t expect to see you back in action. This must be your son, right? He really looks like you. And this must be your daughter-in-law, she’s really pretty. You are really fortunate." He guessed, looking at Yuan Junkai and Xiaofeng behind Uncle Yuan.
Uncle Yuan patted his shoulder, "You’re overthinking it. I still don’t have a daughter-in-law."
It couldn’t be his daughter.
"Just a tenant of mine, we’re here to look for some goods," Uncle Yuan straightforwardly told the truth.
"Hi," the man made a blunder and his face turned a bit awkward, "I thought she was your daughter-in-law."
"I’m not that lucky, my daughter-in-law is who knows where right now," said Uncle Yuan. It was quite embarrassing to have a son over thirty without a wife.
"You as a father, you’re not lacking money, what were you doing all these years," the other guy knew Uncle Yuan’s financial situation, not lacking money at all.
"Let’s not talk about this, it just gets me angry. Luckily, he’s somewhat ambitious now; otherwise, I’d have thought of kicking him out already." As for the matter of the wayward son, it was better not to bring it up, as it always infuriated him.
Other people’s sons at his age already had grandchildren in elementary school.
With him, it was still uncertain where his daughter-in-law might be. How could he not be upset?
"Let me introduce you, this is Old Li, the middleman around here. Old Li, this is Miss Su, don’t mind her youth, she’s quite the business hand."
"Miss Su, hello, hello," Old Li smiled at Xiaofeng, as the other party was a young lady, the courtesy of a handshake wasn’t brought up.
"Uncle Li, hello," Xiaofeng replied with a polite smile.
"Since you’re here looking for goods, just mention the amount and I can handle it. Around here, I know best. Just say the word and let me be your middleman, I guarantee to deliver the goods to your place," he was a significant vegetable vendor in Chengbei City, basically knowing what vegetables were grown in the villages below.
"This season should be radish season, I want high-quality white radishes, the sweet and crunchy kind," Xiaofeng directly mentioned her requirements: "I know there’s a county below us that is also famous for its radishes, if possible, I’d like to go and see the farmers there."
"Right, Xiaofeng is a serious person, very strict about quality. She has to make sure the radishes here can meet the standards of her household. After all, if things are even a bit off, the outcome will definitely be subpar, which we cannot afford to overlook. Young people are so earnest and realistic, something that Junkai could surely learn from," he reflected.
