Chapter 5 Two hundred and one catties of water spinach
But that was purely because I was not very skilled.
Seeing that the woman wanted to continue scolding her, the petite girl beside her hurriedly spoke.
"Sister, no, he saved you."
"You have heat stroke. You took off your clothes to cool down. I took my T-shirt to absorb water because I didn't bring a water bottle. This kind person is not a pervert."
Seeing this, Jiang Qiu also took out his mobile phone, opened the pre-recorded video, and played it in front of the woman.
The woman looked at the video in confusion, then looked at the petite girl's affirmative expression, and then she felt relieved.
"Um... I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Thank you. My name is Zheng Xuedong. You can just call me Xuedong."
"She is my assistant and my sister, her name is Zheng Mengmeng."
Zheng Xuedong apologized apologetically to Jiang Qiu and introduced himself at the same time.
Jiang Qiu was not the kind of petty person, so he naturally had no intention of pursuing the matter and just nodded to accept it.
One mature and one young, the two stunning women rested for a while under the shade of a tree. Because Jiang Qiu, the opposite sex, was present, they still put on their clothes.
After some conversation, Jiang Qiu learned.
Zheng Xuedong was originally the general manager of Century Restaurant in the county, and Zheng Mengmeng was her assistant.
Because the vegetable sources purchased by the restaurant were not ideal, today the two of them planned to go to the countryside to collect a batch of seasonal vegetables in person.
But there were no buses in the countryside, and Zheng Xuedong's car had to be repaired, so the two of them had to hitchhike.
It was just that the hitchhiking driver needed to change the route midway, so they had no choice but to get off the car and walk. Unexpectedly, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Xuedong suffered from the old habit of overwork. In addition, the hot weather caused heat stroke, and he fainted.
.
If it hadn't been for his encounter with Jiang Qiu, Zheng Xuedong would probably not have had anyone come to the county town.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Qiu is Zheng Xuedong's savior.
While they were chatting, a Buick car roared up on the dirt road not far away, carrying dust all over the sky.
Zheng Mengmeng shouted happily.
"It's Mr. Zhao's car!"
The Buick also saw the three people under the shade of the tree. After parking the car on the side of the road, a man and a woman rushed out of it.
"Mr. Zheng! How are you? I've invited Dr. Liu over. Let her take a look."
Mr. Zhao in Zheng Mengmeng's mouth spoke eagerly, while the female doctor beside him immediately stepped forward to check Zheng Xuedong's physical condition.
Zheng Mengmeng saw this and said quickly.
"It's okay, Mr. Zhao. This kind man has just cured my sister."
Mr. Zhao frowned and glanced at Jiang Qiu, then his frown deepened.
In his opinion, the way Jiang Qiu was dressed clearly made him look like a farmer from a small village. How could he possibly know any medical skills?
Apart from her good looks, there is nothing special about her.
However, due to Zheng Xuedong and Zheng Mengmeng, Mr. Zhao did not say anything and just nodded perfunctorily.
"This little brother should rest aside for now. It's better to leave professional matters to professionals."
When Jiang Qiu heard this, he didn't refute, he just smiled and took care of himself while enjoying the cool weather.
Zheng Mengmeng pouted her mouth and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Zhao, it was really this brother who saved my sister!"
Mr. Zhao was about to speak when the female doctor examining Zheng Xuedong's body spoke up.
"Indeed, Mr. Zheng's physical condition is no longer serious. He only needs a simple rest to recover."
"I see that there are still some traces of pressing acupoints on Mr. Zheng's body. I guess this little brother must know some medical skills in traditional Chinese medicine."
Jiang Qiu smiled calmly, waved his hand and said.
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Zheng Mengmeng pouted and rolled her eyes at Mr. Zhao.
The latter was immediately embarrassed.
Just now, he thought Jiang Qiu was just a country farmer who didn't know medical skills, but now professional doctors have said that it was Jiang Qiu who helped Zheng Xuedong with acupoint techniques of traditional Chinese medicine.
This was equivalent to a slap in the face.
"Ahem, um... little brother, I was blind just now, so don't be offended."
"Since it was you who rescued Mr. Zheng, we should also express our gratitude. Judging from your appearance, you must be going to the city. I don't know what you are going to do? Maybe I can help."
Mr. Zhao was not a face-conscious person, so he immediately wanted to repay Jiang Qiu, his lifesaver.
Jiang Qiu didn't hide anything.
"Yes, I just go to the city to sell some water spinach grown in my own field."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, we own a restaurant. Otherwise, you don't have to go to the trouble of taking those water spinach to the city. How about I buy them directly?"
When Jiang Qiu heard this, he suddenly smiled.
"Really? My water spinach is not ordinary."
Mr. Zhao smiled indifferently, no matter how water spinach is, isn't it an ordinary vegetable? What other tricks can it use?
Jiang Qiu pointed to the tricycle on the roadside and said lightly.
"Exclusive water spinach, two hundred yuan per catty."
This short sentence made everyone present fall into silence.
Even people who have never bought vegetables know how could ordinary water spinach be sold at such an outrageous price!?
It only costs a few dollars per pound. That’s already expensive, two hundred per pound!? It’s better to just grab the money!
The corners of Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched and he looked a little unkind.
In his opinion, Jiang Qiu was obviously relying on his kindness to extort money.
But before he could speak, Zheng Xuedong said in a slightly weak voice.
"Okay, two hundred is two hundred, I want them all."
Mr. Zhao was shocked and turned around quickly and whispered.
"Mr. Zheng! This guy is obviously..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Xuedong's eyes.
"Thank you little brother for saving your life. I want all these water spinach."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiu smiled and took a large handful of red tickets under Mr. Zhao's rather resentful eyes.
Mr. Zhao cursed and moved the water spinach on the tricycle to the trunk of the Buick.
But there is one thing to say, this water spinach looks really good, it is green all over, and it is the best at first glance, but no matter how high it is, it is just a vegetable, weighing two hundred and one kilograms... Mr. Zhao felt that he was at a loss to his grandma's family.
Jiang Qiu looked at the thick stack of fourteen thousand yuan in his hand and pedaled his tricycle back with satisfaction.
Zheng Xuedong and others returned to the city in a Buick car, and the water spinach in the car was immediately thrown into the kitchen by Mr. Zhao.
In the office, Mr. Zhao still couldn't help cursing.
"People nowadays want to take advantage of it whenever they see it! Hmph!"
Zheng Xuedong didn't say anything, because she also felt that two hundred and one kilograms of water spinach was really outrageous, but since it was to repay a favor, it was not unacceptable.
As soon as Mr. Zhao finished scolding, Zheng Mengmeng's panicked voice sounded outside the office.
"No, no, no! The guests at several tables in the hall are making a fuss!"
Mr. Zhao and Zheng Xuedong stood up quickly and asked hurriedly.
"what happened?"
Zheng Mengmeng said breathlessly.
“It’s for the water spinach!”
"One table of guests ordered a plate of fried water spinach, and the dish was so fragrant! Other guests also ordered it, but after they finished eating, they still asked for more!"
"One table of guests even ordered ten plates! Now the kitchen is too busy, and the guests all said the food was slow, so there was a fuss!"
Zheng Xuedong and Mr. Zhao were full of doubts, and they got into a fight over a few plates of water spinach?
"Wait a minute! The water spinach you are talking about is not the one we just bought from that young man on the way, right?"
