Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 63 Canteen Logistics

After Mi Ting brought in the vegetables that Chen Yi had brought, she planned to use them right away, but Chen Dong called back just as she finished washing them.

"Chen Dong, what's going on?"

Chen Dong's voice came from the other end, "Honey, cook more food today. I have some colleagues coming over to eat with me."

"Okay, I'll make more." Mi Ting hung up the phone and started cooking.

We didn't throw away the vegetables from before; we just made them into a vegetable dish, and added a few other dishes. There weren't many guests this time.

That evening, Chen Dong came in with his colleagues from the school. "Director Li, Director Qin, please come in."

"A-Ting, is dinner ready?"

"It's ready, you can sit down and eat now," Shen Ting said with a smile as she came out.

Director Qin said with a smile, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble, sister-in-law."

Director Li glanced at it and was quite surprised. "There's way too much food. It would be a waste if we, just a few people, couldn't finish it."

Mi Ting wiped her hands a couple of times, knowing it was just a polite remark. "Not at all, not at all. We don't have much food at home, just a little extra vegetables today, which Mom brought over."

Chen Dong is currently teaching at the county's No. 1 High School, but his parents are both at the county's No. 3 Middle School. Therefore, Director Qin and Director Li, who accompanied him, were not very clear about his parents' specific situation, only knowing that his parents were also teachers.

So Chen Dong said directly, "Okay, let's eat first."

The original plan was for the three of us to eat at the table and chat about work.

This is also the case for most people; people from Xia Kingdom like to chat at the dinner table.

They had the same idea today, but once they sat down at the table, after each person casually picked up a piece of food, they lost all desire to talk.

Everyone stared intently at the dishes in front of them. Mi Ting found it a little strange, but after taking a bite herself, she also realized that these were all delicacies.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. The wonderful taste made them lose the desire to talk for a moment. They stared intently at the dishes in front of them, and their chopsticks moved faster.

It wasn't until halfway through the meal that Director Li realized what they had come for.

He stopped eating, both amused and exasperated, and then looked at Mi Ting and praised, "Sister-in-law, some of the dishes you make are really delicious. We're so engrossed in eating them that we've forgotten all about it."

As soon as he spoke, the other three realized what was going on.

Mi Ting smiled sheepishly: "No, it's just that the dishes delivered today were delicious. The rest of the food is just average."

Director Qin chimed in, "Really? You can't be lying to us. Chen Dong, you've been keeping this a secret for so long. Why have you never mentioned how delicious your family's cooking is?"

"No way, the food is really delicious."

Chen Dong knew his wife's cooking skills all too well. The food was good, but it couldn't possibly be this delicious. It must have been those dishes that made the difference.

Director Qin, who was in charge of the cafeteria's logistics, immediately perked up and asked curiously, "Really? Does your sister-in-law have any leftover food? Could I take a look?"

"OK."

Mi Ting went back to the kitchen, washed a head of lettuce, and brought it over.

"Director Qin, look, this is the lettuce we brought today."

"Okay, let me take a look." Director Qin took the lettuce and examined it carefully. Director Li, who was next to him, couldn't help but lean closer to take a look as well.

"Mmm, this dish is indeed very good." As he spoke, Director Qin broke off another piece of lettuce leaf and put it in his mouth to taste it.

With each bite, Director Qin was more and more satisfied, thinking that even eating it raw was so delicious, and that he had really struck gold this time.

He had a feeling that if their high school cafeteria bought this kind of vegetable, the students would be very satisfied.

Thinking of all this, he couldn't contain his excitement. "Director Li, you should try it too. I think this dish is excellent and suitable for our high school cafeteria."

Director Li also broke off a piece and tasted it. After finishing it, he agreed, saying, "That's good. I think this idea is excellent."

Director Qin was even happier with the support, and he hurriedly asked Mi Ting, "Do you have the owner's contact information?"

Mi Ting was a little confused by this series of actions, and finally came to her senses and replied, "I don't have their contact information right now, but the waitress said that the food was delivered by Mom's student. I'll ask Mom for their contact information later."

"Good, good, good!" Director Qin was very excited.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to ask around for me. Thank you so much. I'm so glad Chen Dong came to your house for dinner today, hahaha."

After receiving this unexpected joy, Director Qin was in a state of excitement. The subsequent conversation went very smoothly. After finishing the discussion, Director Qin gave some final instructions and then left.

Chen Dong sat in his seat, still quite bewildered. The series of events that happened today had been too sudden. However, he was quite happy to hear that Director Qin was interested in purchasing the vegetables they had eaten today, since he was very satisfied with them.

"Then, honey, I'll just call Mom and ask her later, and then I'll send it to Director Qin."

"Okay, call and ask."

--------------

After selling the lettuce, Xia Shiyu returned home just in time to see several vendors come to pick up their produce. She quickly counted the vegetables, signed the orders, and prepared everything the vendors needed.

After the merchants left, Xia Shiyu looked around and, finding that things weren't busy now, returned to her room.

The grapes she planted in the fairy tale world have ripened! This is wonderful! She can't wait to come in and try them.

Upon entering the fairytale world, Xia Shiyu saw several purplish-red grapevines draped over a trellis.

Xia Shiyu approached and examined the grapes closely. She was amazed to see that each grape in the bunch was the size of an egg, almost the size of a passion fruit.

The purplish-red grapes, like brightly colored agate, dotted among the green leaves.

Xia Shiyu excitedly stepped forward and picked a bunch.

Xia Shiyu had to use both hands to catch the bunch of berries, their heavy weight pressing down on her hands.

She estimated that the bunch of grapes weighed at least seven or eight pounds. She put the grapes down and picked one to taste.

She likes grapes because of their thin skins; she eats the skin and pulp together.

The flesh exudes a sweet aroma, and the grapes are perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, without being too sweet or making your teeth ache.

What surprised Xia Shiyu even more was that after eating the grape, she felt much clearer-headed and had a very comfortable feeling.

She ate them one by one; she especially loved grapes, and nowadays she could say they were incredibly delicious.

But the grapes were quite large, and she felt full after eating only half of them; she simply couldn't eat any more.

She placed the bunch of grapes down and looked at the grapes on the trellis with great satisfaction.
