Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Leading Hexing Village to Prosperity
Especially since she wanted to open a restaurant, Grandma Xu was particularly attentive to related matters.
She had also summarized several aspects that were essential to note when running a restaurant.
Liu Yushu was a sincere person, originally making boxed lunches for internet café customers, and she was very practical.
The ingredients she used were high-quality, and she washed them thoroughly, fearing that the customers might get sick.
Grandma Xu also did not possess any pettiness and placed special emphasis on food safety.
The two even went to the market to the vegetable stall owner Liu Yushu used to frequent and agreed with the stall owner to buy in bulk from him in the future.
They negotiated a much lower price.
Originally, Liu Yushu only made lunches for internet café customers, so the volume of her purchases was limited.
But because she was acquainted with the stall owner and visited daily, she bought much more than the average customer.
The stall owner had already given Liu Yushu a favorable price.
But now that the restaurant was open and the demand had increased, the price was reduced even further.
After finalizing the deal, upon returning home, Grandma Xu lamented, "It’s a pity that Hexing Village is a bit far from here, otherwise it would be great to source from Hexing Village. It would help the villagers’ income, and we know about the harvest in Hexing Village, the rice and vegetables are of good quality."
Upon hearing this, Lu Youxi remarked, "Transporting vegetables here isn’t very feasible. If it’s by land, it’s mostly by truck. But since Hexing Village is far from here, the cost would greatly increase, nothing like the price we negotiated with the stall owner."
"But rice and flour, we could collaborate with Hexing Village," Lu Youxi said. "Rice and flour have a long shelf life, and the villages near the Imperial Capital don’t produce much rice and flour anyway. The tasty rice and flour in the Imperial Capital are also transported from far away."
"The rice from Hexing Village tastes good, but it hasn’t made a name for itself yet; only we know about it. It’s perfect; we could transport rice from Hexing Village. Since it’s all being transported from far away, it’s definitely cheaper to buy from the place of origin."
"Let’s not discuss making Hexing Village rice well-known for now; we are just running a small restaurant at this stage," explained Lu Youxi. "But allowing the villagers to earn money and achieving mutual benefit is certainly possible."
"The cost of living is low in Fengnan City, even lower in Hetai Town. Our village’s rice can hardly fetch a decent price nearby. Rice that tastes so good can be sold for five times the original price in the Imperial Capital," Lu Youxi said. "But since we’re buying in bulk directly, it’s certainly not the same as buying from supermarkets in the Imperial Capital. I’m thinking of offering the villagers’ old sellers 60% more for their price. How does that sound?"
"That’s already a lot," exclaimed Grandma Xu, surprised. "That’s much more than I expected!"
"I have limited capability now, and the amount we need is also limited. If you two can expand the restaurant and make it stronger, and we need more later, it might even be feasible for Hexing Village to specialize in rice production only. We could further increase the buying price," Lu Youxi continued. "By then, the villagers might really become wealthy."
"That would be great! We’ll definitely put in the effort and do our best!" Grandma Xu, inspired by Lu Youxi’s enthusiasm, was instantly filled with vigor.
"Although the village chief said earlier that our village had been selected for support, it is still in the planning stage, and we don’t know when it will begin. Besides, it’s definitely better for our village to have one more opportunity, one more choice," Grandma Xu added. "Let the government-provided buyers handle the vegetables. If they don’t offer a better price for the rice than what we’re giving, then let our village sell the rice to us."
"You’re right, that’s exactly what I was thinking," Lu Youxi agreed.
Grandma Xu could hardly wait and asked, "So, when are you going to talk to the village chief about this?"
Lu Youxi replied with a laugh, "I’ll talk to him right now."
Lu Youxi went to call the village chief while Grandma Xu excitedly told Liu Yushu, "I still remember the day Youxi left Hexing Village to come here for school, the entire village went to see her off. The village chief even said to not forget about Hexing Village and to bring prosperity to it with her."
"Back then, I thought to myself that Youxi could definitely do it, but it would probably take a few years. After all, Youxi was still a student; how could a student have the means to enrich Hexing Village?" Grandma Xu reflected, "I couldn’t have imagined that in just half a year, Youxi would achieve it!"
Not to mention Grandma Xu, even Liu Yushu hadn’t expected it.
"You don’t say, I’m still in disbelief," Liu Yushu said, her face a picture of bewilderment. "I only knew that Youxi was good at studying. I have limited experience, and I thought being good at studies would definitely lead to great prospects, finding a good job, staying in the city, not returning to Hexing Village—that was the greatest expectation I had for Youxi."
"Plus, back then, she lived with her grandparents, and you know what her grandparents are like, Youxi had a hard time. She was frustrated, and we had to be sneaky even giving her small things; I totally understand, I’d be frustrated too. She’s our child too, so sensible, taking care of all the household matters, excelling in her studies, never causing us any worry. Why shouldn’t such a good child receive a bit of love?"
Even now, recalling those days, Liu Yushu couldn’t help but tear up.
"Back then, I just hoped she could get into a good college, no matter where. Youxi was a good student; she could definitely get into a good university. Once she left, she should never come back; let her be angry with us. Her first eighteen years were not lived for herself; I just hoped that from then on, she could live for herself."
Liu Yushu sniffled, then smiled. "I just never imagined, I thought Youxi would do well, but I never expected her to do this well. It’s only her freshman year, and she’s been in the Imperial Capital for just half a year. Now, she’s not only earning money for herself but also helping the villagers earn money. I could hardly even dream of this before."
"They say living in the Imperial Capital is tough," Liu Yushu sighed. "But when Youxi came here, not only did she settle down herself, but she also brought us along and started doing business here."
Liu Yushu felt emotional. "I couldn’t even dream of having the life I have now."
"That’s why I say, as long as someone is capable, they won’t face problems anywhere. It’s only the incapable ones who constantly blame the circumstances," Grandma Xu remarked.
Like her children, who went to the city to work, complaining about not being born into a better family.
And always worried about her measly possessions.
She wasn’t one of those parents who demanded their children to be extremely successful.
She just hoped her children would live honestly, work hard, and that would be enough.
