Chapter 988: Blaming others
It was a good thing that Jian Cheng said that because the list given by him was a bit too long and most of the stock was already running low. They had only one catty of tomatoes instead of two, and eggplants were completely out of stock, given that many people liked the taste of braised eggplants and some simply liked to cook them in chilli sauce, it was not a surprise that the eggplants stock was the first to run out followed by the chives and lettuce.He looked at the stock that was getting sold at a rapid pace and then commented in a light voice, " It seems to be that no matter how much stock you keep, your vegetables are going to run out before noon every day." Even though Jian Cheng could see that he was able to buy most of the vegetables, he still did not see any tomatoes and cucumbers. As he remembered the refreshing and sweet taste of those tomatoes that he had eaten when he was pregnant, he couldn\'t help but scold his wife for being too nosy.
If she had allowed him to leave fifteen minutes earlier then he could have bought those tomatoes to satiate his cravings.
Yu Dong smiled as she looked at the bustling crowd and then sighed before saying, " We tried to bring more stock this time around but it seems that it was still not enough." Looks like she has to hire some more strong mammies to bring more stock of vegetables to the town. " But we are trying our best to increase the production of our vegetables, I am sure that in the future no one have to rush like this to buy the vegetables."
"If that\'s the case then I can rest assured," Now Jian Cheng and his family were used to eating the vegetables sold by the Yu family, he couldn\'t even think of a day when he could not eat the vegetables from this shop.
Jian Cheng and his daughter brought the remaining berries in the baskets after Little Yating exclaimed how good they tasted, since Jian Cheng knew that his wife would definitely fight with him and Song Zhi to have a bite, he decisively bought the entire stock lest he did not get to eat any. The last time Song Zhi brought back only half a catty of tomatoes and the next thing he knew, his wife was eating those tomatoes behind their back in the middle of the night.
He still couldn\'t forget the sight of the young madam of the Geng family sneaking out of the courtyard to munch on the tomatoes, if it was his daughter he would have understood but to think his wife would do something like that —— Jian Cheng looked at the two catties of berries and hoped that they would be enough.
Yu Dong\'s shop was filled with customers from the brim, what was more those who came to buy vegetables from her shop were either official husbands or servants of the rich official\'s families. By the time the crowd thinned a little the others could see that the stock lined up Yu Dong and her husbands were almost gone.
Seeing this many fruit and vegetable vendors turned green-eyed, they couldn\'t understand just what was Yu Dong using to make her vegetables taste so good and sweet. In the past, they thought that could try to raise the same kind of vegetables as Yu Dong which was why they gritted their teeth and bought those expensive vegetables.
As a result, the crops that they grew either died or the result was far less than satisfactory. How could these vegetable vendors know that Yu Dong not only washed the seeds of her fruits and vegetables with spiritual energy, but she even used water that had enough spiritual energy within it?
There was no way anyone could duplicate the crops grown by her!
" What kind of fertilizer is she even using? If only I could get my hands on it."
" In just one day she could sell so much vegetables, who knows how much she earns."
" Maybe more than three hundred taels, just look at the number of customers who are coming and going out of her shop."
They couldn\'t even earn thirty taels after working for an entire month and yet this family could earn three hundred taels in just a single day! Did they offer some kind of special sacrifice to the Gods or something?
As the vendors discussed the matter among themselves, the basket seller turned to look at Peng Jing and then asked, " Why didn\'t you sell these vegetables to their family? With their shop being busy like this, I think they do not have enough vegetables to sell."
Only then did Peng Jing realise that Yu Dong was actually helping out the villagers by offering to buy their vegetables first.
However, she did not feel touched or guilty, if anything she felt that Yu Dong was too deliberate. If she knew that this was the case then she should have let others know! Look at this, she knew that Peng Jing was growing vegetable crops but not once did Yu Dong or husbands come to tell her that there was no market for selling her vegetables!
With her lips pursed she looked at the Bo and Bun shop which was filled with lines of customers and then huffed before picking up the basket of vegetables and then heading back to the village. Fine if the town\'s people wouldn\'t buy these vegetables then she will make someone else buy them!
And since Yu Dong was in town lets see how those mers at home would be able to go against her!
