Madam Zhao was dumbfounded. “What is a vegetable wholesaler?”

Zhao Erwa raised his chin and explained calmly, “Vegetable wholesaler is to buy a large number of vegetables from farmers and distribute them to small vendors at a low price. It’s a small profit but a lot of sales!”

Madam Zhao was stunned and said, “Who would lack vegetables? It’s only during winter, but there are vegetables everywhere in the summer. It won’t earn much money. Don’t waste your effort.”

Zhao Erwa shook his head. “Mother, you don’t have to care about other people’s lives. Many families who moved here don’t have land. Even in summer, the demand for fruits and vegetables is still very high.”

“Although the profits from selling vegetables are small, everyone has to eat, right? If we sell hundreds of thousands grams of vegetables a day, even if we earn a copper coin, how much money can we earn?”

Madam Zhao calculated that it was an astronomical figure.

However, how could Zhao Erwa plant so many vegetables? Moreover, what if these vegetables could not be sold?

Zhao Erwa said confidently, “1 can let others plant them and sign an acquisition contract with them. I’ll specify that they plant different types of fruits and vegetables and list them according to the season and everyone’s needs.”

As he spoke, the prototype of a fruit and vegetable business was formed in his mind.

Just like Madam You’s maternity shop, it had all kinds of targeted products all year round.

With the population of Carefree City, having two markets were already insufficient. Many people had to walk far to buy vegetables. In order to save time and effort, everyone would buy a lot at once and stock up on them.

It was fine in winter, but they would spoil easily in summer.

Apart from the large-scale wholesale vegetable and fruit merchants, he could also open a few small ones that were distributed throughout the entire Carefree City as a vegetable retail location to provide convenience to everyone.

It had not been long since they arrived at Carefree City when everyone was living frugally. This year, with the money on hand, they naturally would not be harsh on themselves in terms of basic living.

Moreover, a large number of fruits and vegetables could be provided to the workshop academy’s canteen and sold to the food factories to be processed into various pickled food. They could be stored for a longer time and sold elsewhere.

Madam Zhao’s eyes widened. “Even if you want others to plant it, you have to give them a deposit, right? What if you can’t sell them?”

Zhao Erwa smiled and said, “Master Sheng said that as long as we understand the market’s needs well and formulate a precise estimate report, it’s difficult to incur losses.”

Madam Zhao’s eyes widened. “You’re bragging so much. How much money does it cost? Let me tell you, don’t look for your sister. It’s not easy for your sister to earn some money.”

Zhao Lanzhi had not gotten married, so she was counting on the family business to find her a good husband in the future.

Previously, Zhao Erwa had wanted to borrow money from Zhao Lanzhi. Now, he had a new idea.

He could pull in investments and look for his eldest sister to invest, but it was not considered borrowing.

He could also gain profits without risking anything of his own and use the vegetables he had planned to plant to trade with the various partners before paying the deposit to the farmers.

The more Zhao Erwa thought about it, the happier he felt. Seeing his silly smile, Madam Zhao grabbed his ear. “Let me warn you, even if you want to do these things, you can’t not study!”

Her family was all doing business, but none of them were officials. Madam Zhao felt very guilty.

Zhao Erwa covered his ears in pain. “I’ll definitely study. Let go of me first!” He still had to accompany Little Peach to the university, so how could he not study?

Moreover, Lord Sheng had said that an endless stream of talents was the way to eternal wealth.

He was not seeking endless wealth, but he could not be inferior to Little Peach’s brothers.

After hearing his promise, Madam Zhao let go in satisfaction.

Zhao Hongyun saw the growth of the greenhouse vegetables with his own eyes. He looked at the transparent greenhouse membrane and pondered for a long time. Then, he privately looked for Village Chief Zhao. “Can 1 plant 20 acres?”

Village Chief Zhao smiled and said, “You can find someone to work together to plant 100 acres.” This meant that 20 acres was not enough.

Zhao Hongyun had a strange personality. His family could not get along with him, so he could forget about working with others.

He thought for a moment and asked, “Then I’ll buy some materials myself. Can’t you guide me in building it?”

Village Chief Zhao smiled and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to guide you, but these materials were all given by the Imperial Court. If you want to buy materials to build it, you have to buy them.”

Zhao Hongyun looked at him and lowered his face to beg, “Then can you help me ask? We’re all from the Zhao farmyard. Help me. If I farm well and earn money, I’ll buy a sheep to thank you later.”

Village Chief Zhao shook his head. “There’s no need for the sheep. I’ll help you ask. I can’t guarantee the decision of the higher-ups. Wait for the news first.”

Zhao Hongyun said excitedly, “Thank you, thank you.” Then he hurriedly said, “An acre of greenhouse materials is fine too!”

Just planting an acre of strawberries could earn dozens of taels a year.

Village Chief Zhao found Lin Qingcai, who had developed the shed membrane, and asked if he could allow farmers to buy some shed membrane themselves.

Lin Qingcai had spent a lot of effort to develop the plastic membrane. Under the Great Empress’ instructions, he created a greenhouse membrane.

He was only in charge of inventing. Whether he could give it to the farmers depended on the Great Empress.

After all, the Great Empress had the priority to deal with all the scientific research products developed after the researchers entered the research institute.

Village Chief Zhao conveyed Zhao Hongyun’s intentions to Bai Wutong through Cui Shize.

Apart from being a greenhouse, the shed could also create a friendly environment for crops that was moisturizing, resistant to disasters, and sunny.

By the 20th century, the use of greenhouse membranes in agriculture was widespread.

Agriculture was the foundation of a country’s food infrastructure. If it was effective in improving the canopy that helped crops grow, it must be popularized to thousands of households.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The contracting system of 100 acres is for the development of agriculture on a large scale. It’s naturally possible for the commoners to use the greenhouse to plant crops. When the production of the greenhouse membrane and steel reaches the required amount, we can supply it to the commoners to buy.”

Village Chief Zhao said happily, “Thank you, Great Empress. 1’11 go back and tell everyone now.”

After knowing that the Imperial Court would sell greenhouse building materials in the future, Zhao Hongyun was extremely happy. On second thought, he asked, “Can I buy greenhouse building materials from the Imperial Court and sell them elsewhere?”

It was expensive to build a greenhouse by the sea because of the typhoon, but there was no typhoon in other regions. They only needed to buy a greenhouse membrane, which would be cheap.

No matter what, the commoners could afford one tael of silver to build an acre of greenhouse. If he sold the greenhouse building materials, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

Village Chief Zhao thought that he was bent on farming. He did not expect him to have such an idea.

“You can ask when the construction materials are produced.”

Zhao Hongyun said shamelessly, “Brother, since you have a good relationship with the higher-ups, help me ask them again.”

Village Chief Zhao put on a serious expression. “The Imperial Court is not my relative. You can’t do whatever you want. 1 still have something on. Forgive me for not helping you.”

Village Chief Zhao was unhappy. Zhao Hongyun stomped his feet on the spot. “Why are you pretending to be a master!”

If not for the fact that Village Chief Zhao had a good relationship with the Great Empress in the beginning, how could he have such a great fortune?

Since he had taken advantage of others, he was mocking others.

“Bah, shameless!”
