"I remember, but I'm afraid Dad will get angry if he calls," Tong Tong said, being very sensible.
The more he was like this, the more Liu Yifeng felt he had to make the call.
Of course, if Yun Duo'er didn't want to come, he wouldn't force her.
It would be even better if she agreed with Tong Tong. In any case, whether it succeeded or not, he should try for his son.
"Mom won't be angry, maybe she misses Tong Tong too. Quickly give me her phone number," Liu Yifeng said, pulling out his phone.
He then dialed the number Tong Tong gave him, but the phone kept ringing, and no one answered for a long time.
At the same time, Yun Duo'er was filming. Just as she came down from the wire, her assistant immediately handed her the phone: "Sister Duo'er, your phone."
"Who is it?" Yun Duo'er took it.
"I don't know, it's an out-of-town number, no notes," the assistant shook her head.
Yun Duo'er saw that the number was from Qingyang City and immediately thought of Liu Yifeng.
She felt conflicted about whether to answer the call. She didn't want any contact with Liu Yifeng, but she was afraid something had happened to Tong Tong.
As she was considering whether to answer, the call on the other end hung up.
But a moment later, the phone rang again. She took a deep breath and finally decided to answer.
She walked to a quiet place outside the set and pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is this?"
Her tone was calm, with a hint of distance.
Liu Yifeng heard the familiar yet strange voice and replied in an equally calm tone: "Hello, I am Liu Yifeng, you should still remember me, right?"
"Is there something you need?" Yun Duo'er did not answer directly, but her tone said it all.
"Tong Tong misses you very much, can you spare some time to see him?" Liu Yifeng cut to the chase.
If it weren't for Tong Tong, he would never have had any more interaction with this woman in his life.
"I didn't expect you to be so cunning, using the child to get what you want. Stop beating around the bush, do you want to ask me for child support?" Yun Duo'er knew Liu Yifeng's family background was not good, and he was even very poor.
Sending her son to him rashly would undoubtedly add to his financial burden, so she naturally thought of Liu Yifeng's purpose in calling, which she suspected was not pure.
Liu Yifeng was surprised that Yun Duo'er, who was so beautiful, could speak so harshly, and was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said. Don't worry, I won't owe you any child support. Send me your bank account, and I'll transfer some money to you when I have time."
"I think you've misunderstood. Even if I starve to death, I won't ask you for a cent. I will raise my son myself.
I called you because the child misses you. After all, he's been with you since he was little. Don't you, as a mother, miss Tong Tong?"
Liu Yifeng's questioning made Yun Duo'er tear up. How could she not miss him?
However, for the sake of her career and future, she dared not take this risk.
Because she had signed a contract with the company, if she contacted her child out of selfishness, and her past was exposed,
which would affect her public image and damage the company's interests, she would have to pay three times the liquidated damages according to the contract.
That would be thirty million, and she couldn't afford it.
"I'm very busy, I can't make time to see the child. Please take care of him." Yun Duo'er finally hardened her heart.
Yun Duo'er's answer was both beyond Liu Yifeng's expectations and within them.
"It's fine. Since you're busy, I won't bother you anymore." With that, he hung up the phone.
Yun Duo'er had wanted to say that she would let the child speak to him, but she only heard the dial tone, giving her no chance to speak.
Just as she was about to call back, a director shouted: "Yun Duo'er, prepare for the next scene."
"Okay, I'm coming." In the end, Yun Duo'er did not call back.
Forget it, she'd call again when she had some time off!
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifeng walked in from outside. He had gone out to make the call just now because he was afraid Yun Duo'er would say something that would make Tong Tong sad.
Looking at his son, who was looking at him expectantly, Liu Yifeng felt guilty: "Tong Tong, Mommy is very busy with work, so she probably can't come for now. Will you be okay if she meets you after she's done with her work?"
Although Yun Duo'er had refused to come see Tong Tong without hesitation, he didn't want to tarnish his mother's image in Tong Tong's eyes.
Tong Tong lowered his head upon hearing this: "Okay then!"
"Don't be sad. How about we go to the amusement park in a few days, Dad?"
"Okay, thank you, Dad!" Tong Tong's eyes lit up at the mention of the amusement park.
Indeed, children love to play, and play can make them forget all their troubles.
In the evening, right after Liu Yifeng finished dinner, he received a call from Qiang Zi.
He was talking about how delicious the vegetables Liu Yifeng grew were, and said that if he sold them in a five-star hotel, people would gladly pay one hundred yuan per portion.
Now, he finally understood why Liu Yifeng was so eager to build the greenhouse.
If he had the skill to grow such vegetables, he would have built the greenhouse long ago.
Seeing that Qiang Zi was conquered by his vegetables, Liu Yifeng became even more confident.
Everyone who had tasted his vegetables so far said they were delicious, and there had never been any bad reviews.
With this, let alone thirty mu of vegetables, even a hundred mu might not be enough to sell.
However, if the response was good later on, he would consider expanding the scale.
His current funds were limited, so he would take it step by step.
He was also planning to build a house for his family in a while!
If he had extra money, he would buy one in the county town, and then he could live wherever he wanted!
The next day, as usual, Liu Yifeng bought four thousand catties of crayfish from the farm and poured them into the rented field.
The crayfish in his own field were already very large. Du Ziheng had taken away three thousand six hundred catties of crayfish that morning, and there were still about three thousand catties left in the field.
He wondered how the vegetables were selling. Du Ziheng hadn't called Liu Yifeng since yesterday afternoon.
This made Liu Yifeng feel uneasy. Could it be that they weren't selling well? Was the price too high for hotels to accept?
Just as Liu Yifeng was lost in thought, Du Ziheng's call finally came.
"Is brother Liu busy?" Du Ziheng asked cheerfully on the phone.
Liu Yifeng looked at the crayfish that had been completely poured into the field and said, "I just finished. Is there anything you're calling about, brother Du?"
'Yesterday afternoon, I took quite a bit of fresh vegetables from your place to sell. It wasn't selling well at first because I priced it too high.
You sell them for five or six yuan per catty in town, and I sold them for eight yuan per catty. Many people asked, but few bought.
However, some people did buy them to try, but in total, only ten catties were sold.
But I didn't expect that today, as soon as I got to the vegetable market, the person who bought your vegetables from me last night came looking for me.
A woman bought thirty catties of vegetables directly, saying that her child's hundred-day banquet was coming up, and she was inviting relatives and friends to dinner and insisted on buying them back for them to try.
Seeing her praise our vegetables, other people in the nearby vegetable market also followed suit and bought a few catties.
So, all of the more than one hundred catties of vegetables were sold out."
Liu Yifeng's heart finally felt at ease after hearing this. He knew that once someone tasted the vegetables he grew, they would definitely repurchase them.
"Have you checked with the hotels? Our vegetables can't just rely on market sales, we also need to go through hotel channels to sell them faster."
"Don't rush. I haven't finished yet! I specifically saved some samples of each vegetable and went to the best hotel in our county, Long Teng Hotel, to find the catering manager.
The manager called the chef over to cook early, and I specifically told him not to add too much seasoning, so as to best preserve the nutritional value and original flavor of the vegetables.
The dish cooked by the chef is different from what we make. He only seasoned it simply, but the flavor layers are much richer than ours.
After tasting it, the hotel manager almost lost his tongue from how delicious it was, and even the head chef said that our vegetables are the best in the vegetable world.
Then I asked if they were qualified to be used as new signature dishes, and they directly gave us a thumbs up.
The hotel manager immediately decided to source these few types of vegetables from us in the future. Guess how much per catty he offered us?"
Du Ziheng paused here, selling the suspense.
Liu Yifeng: "Eight yuan per catty?"
"Guess boldly. After all, Long Teng Hotel is one of the best high-end restaurants in our county. Even a regular portion of vegetables can be sold for 48 yuan per portion, let alone our delicious vegetables."
"Then it's ten yuan per catty. That's not bad, it's even more expensive than pork." Liu Yifeng dared not guess any higher.
If they could really sell them for ten yuan per catty, he would be very satisfied.
