Chapter 923

The pitiful Qiao Nan——2

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

Yu Dong did not show any signs of dissatisfaction, she picked up the knife which was sitting on the side and then picked up the cucumber which the old r pointed to and then started to cut it into long slices, she placed it in the bowl and then sprinkled so salt on it before placing the bowl in front of the stand, " Please have a taste."

She then turned to look at the other rs and said, " You can take a bite of these cucumbers as well."

Even though the old r who raised objections had painted his face with a white powder to hide his bad complexion and skin, Yu Dong could see the dark circles under his eyes. It was clear that he was soone who was in bad health but was trying to pretend that he was fine, she knew that compared to other rs, this old r was going to feel the effects of the vegetables much more clearly but she was not afraid.

This was the reason why she set up this store. Yu Dong was not an official but as long as she was to gain the approval of the official and people of this town she will be able to build another layer of protection for herself and her family.

Helping rs who were suffering was just another plus one to her plan.

Let's see how that first princess will co down on her, if that woman was to capture her or her family then she will have to face the wrath of the commoners and though it's not taken seriously by the emperor of all eras but the power of masses can be more powerful than that of a ruler at tis.

This was sothing Yu Dong believed in since she had seen crowd after crowd of tortured commoners going against the governnt in the apocalypse world and seizing control of that very base which they attacked.

When Yu Dong cut open the cucumber, the rs who were surrounding the shop along with their wives had already slled the tantalizing scent of the cucumber which made them gulp. Thus, as soon as they heard Yu Dong's suggestion they imdiately took a slice each and then popped those slices inside their mouths.

No sooner, did they take a bite they imdiately closed their eyes and enjoyed the slice of cucumber slowly and gradually.

" Wow is this really cucumber?"

" I don't think so, it tastes even better than the roasted duck which is sold in the restaurant next to my house and people line up to eat that roasted duck!"

rs around the store which Yu Dong opened chid one after another on the other hand, the r who spoke rudely just a few monts ago suddenly placed his hand on his abdon. Just now he felt sothing warm trickle down his stomach which otherwise remained cold because his stomach always ached due to the remnants of that poison, Qiao Nan could hardly eat anything.

His appetite was not good and he did not feel like eating much which was why he looked thin and lanky as if he was malnourished. Because of this his wife did not even bring him to any banquet and took her concubine, according to her, he was an embarrassnt since he looked so bad and weak. If she was to take him with her then others would think that she was mistreating him.

This was sothing that Qiao Nan knew and sotis for the sake of his wife's face he would eat sothing but each ti he ate even a single bite of grain, his stomach would start aching and he will end up vomiting everything.

What was more his stomach would feel even colder than usual but this ti around it was the opposite. Not only was he feeling better but even his appetite seed to have awakened!

" Young madam, for how much you are selling these vegetables?" Qiao Nan asked as he looked at the colourful vegetables already deciding what he was going to cook for himself. Ever since he was poisoned he had stopped eating anything which co from the main kitchen and only ate what he cooked.

When Qiao Nan asked what the price was the rest of the rs also turned to look at Yu Dong, they had already tasted the cucumbers which were on the free sample stand and the one that Yu Dong cut, and it was clear that she was selling quality vegetables and having them on their dining table at the new year would be really good.

Yu Dong smiled as she pointed to the vegetables and then relayed the price of each vegetable to the custors, " The tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers are four taels a catty, the eggplants, bottle guards, and pumpkin are six taels a catty and these radishes, spinach, chives and every other leafy vegetables along with carrots and turnips are four taels and five hundred coins."

" Four taels? Are you sure you are only speaking about per catty and not basket?" One of the rs asked thinking that Yu Dong was confused.

" No, it's four taels a catty. Each one of the vegetables that I sell is carefully grown and taken care of, as you have already tasted the tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes along with onions, you might have realised that they taste better and different than the ones which are sold by others. Since I am delivering a quality product don't you think that I should sell it according to its quality ?"

Many rs and their wives thought that it was too expensive and their interest in the vegetables started to wane. After all, it was too expensive —— outside they could buy these vegetables for less than five hundred coins but this woman was selling it for four taels a catty. The price of the spinach and cabbage along with chives were also very high…even the chillies which she sold along with so rare herbs that she called thy, lemongrass and basil were too expensive despite being sold for a small amount.

However, those who had eaten the free samples knew that it was worth the price especially Qiao Nan who parted his lips and said, " Give

a catty of cucumber, tomatoes and so fresh lettuce and cabbage. Add so herbs as well."
