Chapter 95 Pulling Radishes

Xia Shiyu sent the others to pull up radishes, and when he turned around, he saw a scene that made him both laugh and cry.

Glutinous rice and soybeans, without anyone noticing, also came up and started eating a radish.

Xia Shiyu approached, thinking the two were trying to steal food, but then discovered they were actually trying to help.

The soybean bit into the radish leaf and tried to pull itself out, but accidentally tore the leaf to pieces. The impact caused it to fall on its bottom. It blinked in confusion, shook its head, and then went back to continue its struggle with the radish.

Nuomi is a little smarter; she knows to bite the protruding part of the carrot, and after the dog opens its mouth wide to bite it, it pulls it out with all its might.

Xia Shiyu was a little worried about its teeth, but when she went over, she found that Nuomi had actually pulled the radish out, and then sat down on the ground.

After it stood up and looked around, it rushed over to Xia Shiyu, placed the radish in front of her, barked at her a few times, stuck out its tongue, raised its tail high, and its eyes were bright.

Xia Shiyu could tell at a glance that he was asking her for praise.

She chuckled and patted Nuomi's head. "Nuomi, you're so amazing! But you don't have to keep pulling up radishes, that's too tiring."

Nuomi was very happy to be touched by her, but she still didn't understand what she was saying. After seeing her take the radish, she turned around and went back to continue pulling radishes.

Xia Shiyu reluctantly found a basket and put the radishes inside.

Oh well, these two puppies won't pull up many radishes anyway. They're mostly just curious. Since they can't sell the radishes they pull, they can just keep them for themselves and the chickens and ducks.

She stood up and saw that the soybean had changed its approach again, starting to dig hard at the soil around the radish with both paws, trying to dig it out.

She shook her head and ignored the two dogs, then went to another spot to help pull some more out. She also found it somewhat fun to do so.

Xia Wen also helped out, saying, "Xiao Yu, I think pulling up radishes is quite fun. I'll pull these radishes myself, and you can sell them to me later so I can take them back for my mom and Shen Ge to eat. I pulled them myself."

Xia Shiyu agreed, "Okay, you're really living a farm stay here. You can pick your own fruit and eat it, which is almost the same as what you get in greenhouses."

"Indeed, that's quite fun. But Xiaoyu, you could open a farmhouse or do some farm activities. You don't need to do anything else. Just let people visit the vegetable garden and come back for a meal. That would attract a lot of people. Even if there's no foot traffic, it doesn't matter. You can start a live stream online and people will come."

Xia Wen kept giving Xia Shiyu advice.

Xia Shiyu thought for a moment, "I won't consider it for now. It's winter now and the New Year is coming soon. I don't have many vegetables that are ready to be harvested. I'll wait until spring. If I plant more vegetables in spring, I might consider doing this and even start a live stream to attract traffic. Selling vegetables via live stream is not bad."

"Okay, I'll definitely promote you and get everyone to support you."

"it is good!"

Xia Shiyu watched as everyone packed the radishes one after another. After the acre of land was harvested, Xia Lihua happily ran over to talk to her.

"That's great, Xiaoyu, this acre of radishes has yielded over 8000 jin! That's fantastic!"

Those nearby were also delighted to hear this, saying, "Looking at how big and thick these radishes are, I know the yield must be excellent."

"It's true, the yield is really good. It's the highest yield of radishes in the surrounding area."

Xia Shiyu nodded. She planted more than ten acres of radishes. The quantity wasn't huge, but it still added up to more than ten thousand catties. Once they were sold, it would bring in a large sum of money.

Overjoyed, Xia Shiyu said directly, "Dad, have someone bring some radishes back. Everyone can taste the radishes at noon today and eat the freshest ones."

Today she hired about 30 workers to harvest the radishes, because Boss Ming had already pre-ordered them when they were planted. After all, once the radishes were harvested, they could be used to launch new products, such as radish buns, which would be very popular.

Several other business owners also ordered some, and even the No. 1 Middle School in the county joined in the fun. After all, the vegetables they bought before had worked very well, and now the entire canteen, except for the special window that was set up, was using Xiaxia vegetables.

Summer vegetables are their affectionate name for the vegetables planted in the summer, and everyone likes to call them that.

In short, everyone had been eyeing these radishes for a long time even before they were ripe. Now that they've finally ripened, everyone is eagerly anticipating them. Xia Shiyu only announced the harvest today, and these people couldn't wait to come and take the radishes away this afternoon.

Since radishes keep relatively fresh for a day or two after being pulled up, Xia Shiyu called on many villagers to come and help with the harvest.

With so many people, there was also the issue of managing meals. Xia Shiyu felt it was too much trouble for her family to do it. Even though her grandparents said it was no problem and that the two elderly people could manage, Xia Shiyu felt it wouldn't work. She earned money to make her family comfortable, and it wasn't good for them to work so hard.

So she asked Aunt Wang from next door to help with cooking, and she paid her.

Family members can just help out.

Aunt Wang was initially unwilling when she heard that she would be given wages.

"Xiaoyu, don't be distant with me. People should be grateful. It's because of your vegetables that my Jianzhu's business in the city has taken off. The whole family is very busy every day. It's all thanks to you. How could I possibly take your money? It's just helping out with cooking. It's nothing."

Aunt Wang was very grateful. No matter what, if Xia Shiyu hadn't agreed to sell the vegetables to Xiang Jianzhu, they would still be having trouble making money.

However, Xia Shiyu did not agree. "Aunt Wang, I would have let it go normally, but it might be difficult to cook for dozens of people at once. Besides, I'm not giving much. It's fine."

In the end, Xia Shiyu still gave the money to Aunt Wang. No matter what, it's right to pay someone for a favor.

After listening, Xia Lihua nodded readily, "Okay, I'll have someone take the things back right away."

After saying that, he told someone to fill a basket with radishes and take them back, so that any that couldn't be eaten could be saved for next time.

A group of people were enthusiastically pulling up radishes. After 12 o'clock, Xia Shiyu looked at the pile of radishes with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Everyone, go back and eat first. We can continue working in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Everyone happily put down the radishes they were holding and headed towards Xia Shiyu's house.
