Chapter 923  The pitiful Qiao Nan——2

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

Even though the old mer 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 someone who was in bad health but was trying to pretend that he was fine, she knew that compared to other mers, this old mer 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 mers who were suffering was just another plus one to her plan.

Let\'s see how that first princess will come 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 times.

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

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

No sooner, did they take a bite they immediately 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!"

Mers around the store which Yu Dong opened chimed one after another on the other hand, the mer who spoke rudely just a few moments ago suddenly placed his hand on his abdomen. Just now he felt something 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 embarrassment 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 something that Qiao Nan knew and sometimes for the sake of his wife\'s face he would eat something but each time 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 time around it was the opposite. Not only was he feeling better but even his appetite seemed 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 come from the main kitchen and only ate what he cooked.

When Qiao Nan asked what the price was the rest of the mers 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 customers, " 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 mers 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 mers 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 some rare herbs that she called thyme, 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 me a catty of cucumber, tomatoes and some fresh lettuce and cabbage. Add some herbs as well."
