Liu Yifeng smiled and patted Tong Tong’s head, truly grateful for his son’s support, which had led him to his current success.
The next day.
He arrived at the company’s vegetable sheds early. Seeing the vegetables that were mostly harvested, he felt a pang of heartache.
“You’ve all worked so hard. If it weren’t for the high demand from merchants recently, you wouldn’t have suffered so much,” Liu Yifeng said as he fed them the Revitalizing Powder that Tong Tong had given him.
This would take time, about a morning to fully grow. Moreover, today was a day off for the shed workers, so it wouldn’t interfere with the vegetables’ growth.
“Yifeng? What are you muttering to yourself about here?” Lu Fei, who had just arrived at the sheds, heard the voice. He thought a staff member was working overtime, but upon closer inspection, he saw it was Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng clapped his hands. “Nothing, I just feel sorry for these vegetables. However, I checked their roots just now, and they are not damaged. It seems they were just harvested too frequently. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to grow again.”
Lu Fei remained silent. He didn’t understand this aspect well; he only understood sales.
However, ever since they visited the vegetable greenhouses that time, the growth had indeed become faster, and the yield had caught up.
As the Chinese New Year approached, not only vegetables but also fruits were in high demand. On this day, Su Wanru called Liu Yifeng for help.
“Wanru, you called me. I was in a meeting just now and missed it,” Liu Yifeng said upon returning to the company and seeing the missed calls on his desk.
Seeing Su Wanru’s contact name, he immediately called her back. Their contact had become less frequent recently due to their busyness, making them feel that the other person might not have time.
“It’s like this, recently the fruits in our Jiangnan market are mostly unsalable. I wanted to ask if you still have any, especially the extremely high-quality varieties. We urgently need them here.”
Hearing Su Wanru’s words, Liu Yifeng understood. After all, his vegetables were already unable to meet the demand. He imagined her fruits were selling very quickly as well.
“I’m not entirely sure about that. I haven’t been to the warehouse in a long time. How about this, I’ll go and check after work today. If there are any high-grade varieties left, I’ll contact you.”
Liu Yifeng was indeed not very sure because the company had been very busy lately, and he hadn’t had much time to visit the warehouse to check the fruits.
“Okay, I’ll trouble you then.”
Su Wanru’s voice sounded quite anxious, indicating that she had received a significant number of orders and wanted to make a substantial profit before the end of the year.
After work, he went directly to the warehouse. Seeing the fruits in the warehouse were indeed not in the best condition, he looked at the nutrient solution stored beside the warehouse and sprayed some onto the fruits.
This was a nutrient solution that Tong Tong had developed. This nutrient solution was already mixed into the irrigation system of their vegetable sheds to ensure that the vegetables grew quickly and to a large size.
Now, spraying some on the fruits in the warehouse would also make them bigger and brighter. More importantly, it would make the fruits more juicy and sweet.
He sprayed the entire warehouse to ensure there would be enough for Su Wanru, trying to apply as much as possible.
Upon returning home, Tong Tong smelled the nutrient solution on Liu Yifeng.
“Dad, you went to the fruit warehouse?” Tong Tong’s nose was indeed sharp. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t smelled the nutrient solution in a long time, making him sensitive to its scent.
Liu Yifeng gave Tong Tong a thumbs-up. “You’re amazing! Your Aunt called for help today. Her Hundred Fruit Garden’s fruits are almost unsalable, and she still wants large, sweet fruits, so I went to the warehouse.”
“So that’s how it is,” Tong Tong replied absently while playing with a model toy in his hands.
“Little one, your nose is quite sensitive. What did you do today?” Liu Yifeng’s lips curved into a smile, looking at Tong Tong’s perfunctory response.
Tong Tong continued to play with the model toy. “I didn’t do anything today. Oh, right, Dad, Uncle Wu came today and said he wanted to invite us to dinner. It’s almost the New Year, so we can all get together.”
“Sure, I’ll call your Uncle Wu and arrange it.”
As the New Year approached, it was not only a busy time for the vegetable and fruit industries but, more importantly, a time for families and friends to gather. People were gradually returning home from out of town, and those who needed to meet were doing so.
The next morning, Liu Yifeng went to the company to check the effect of the Revitalizing Powder. As expected, the parts that needed to grow had basically grown.
“Mr. Liu, you’re here. These small cabbages are truly amazing. They grew overnight. It seems even heaven is helping us.”
Liu Chasheng was still pondering how to make the vegetables grow faster. Upon arriving at the sheds, he saw such a pleasant surprise and wanted to share the joy.
Immediately after, Liu Yifeng arrived. Seeing his third uncle’s happy face, a smile also appeared on his lips.
“Yes, but our nutrition is also keeping up. Their rapid growth is also due to your care. Third Uncle, we’ll be on holiday soon. Let’s have a family dinner. My father mentioned you a couple of days ago.”
Looking at Liu Chasheng, he knew that his third uncle had helped his company a lot, not only by watching over the vegetable sheds but also by taking good care of the crayfish business.
“Ah, yes, yes. It’s the New Year, and everyone should get together,” Liu Chasheng said happily. He was also very grateful to his nephew for including him in the business, which had improved their lives.
Hearing Liu Chasheng’s words, Liu Yifeng just smiled and said nothing more. He patted his third uncle’s shoulder and went to the warehouse, intending to check on the fruits.
Before he even opened the warehouse door, he was met with a fragrant aroma of fruit. It was evident that the nutrient solution sprayed on the fruits had taken effect. He immediately called Su Wanru.
“Hello, Yifeng, have you heard back about the fruits?” As soon as the phone rang, Su Wanru answered, clearly anxious.
Liu Yifeng didn’t waste time. “Of course. Send someone to pick them up now. They are all high-grade. Let’s resolve this urgent matter first, and we can discuss other things later.”
He trusted Su Wanru. They had been cooperating for so long, and with their family relationship, he had no concerns at all.
After hanging up, he informed Lu Fei to wait at the warehouse.
An hour later, Lu Fei returned, holding the money Su Wanru had given him.
