Chapter 987: The hoarding Madam Geng
Peng Jing thought of her vegetables as silver taels, how could she chop them into pieces and hand these people a sample to eat for free? What if they did not pay her? Thus, she snorted and then replied, ” They have so many vegetables, so of course they are willing to hand over free samples but I only have this small basket. If I hand free samples then wouldn’t it be a loss for me?”Though what Peng Jing said was indeed correct, some customers did not like her haughty attitude, when they went to Bo and Bun shop, the mers of the shop owners would smile at them and treat them like esteemed guests. Even the shop owner would smile at them with a welcoming expression, when they were tired, the shop owner would even hand them refreshing fruit juice. n0𝔳𝓮𝓁𝑈𝕊𝑏.𝗰0𝗆
Compared to that treatment the way Peng Jing was treating them was simply too much.
In the end, some of the customers could not bear her ‘ buy if you want to buy, scram if you don’t,’ attitude and then turned around to head towards the Bo and Bun shop. While the rest of them also chose to head over to Yu Dong’s shop because they couldn’t take the risk of buying something unappetizing.
It wasn’t the first time they heard a seller hawk like this, before Peng Jing many others did the same thing. They sold their vegetables which looked rich and juicy at a low price when compared to Yu Dong promising that they had cracked the formula of the fertilizers used by Yu Dong but in the end when they bought the vegetables from those vendors trying to save a tael or two, they were scolded by their masters for saving money.
Because though those vegetables looked the same, the taste was completely different! If anything they were even sour and almost rotten as the vegetable vendors have forcefully turned those tomatoes ripe.
Once Madam Geng got the taste of the vegetables from this vegetable shop, she could not stomach even a single grain of rice without one dish cooked from the vegetables from the Bo and Bun shop.
Unfortunately, this morning Song Zhi suddenly fainted when he was going grocery shopping and it was later found out that he was three months pregnant. Of course, Jian Cheng did not let Song Yan come to this bustling shop, but he still hasn’t forgotten how well Song Zhi served him when he was pregnant and even took proper care of his daughter.
The human heart was made of flesh and blood, though they were rivals because of their identities. Jian Cheng was not willing to make things difficult for Song Zhi who took care of him like he was his blood-related brother.
Thus, he took the responsibility of coming to this shop and buying some vegetables but who would have thought that the second he stepped out of the house, his wife would come rushing and start adding more and more vegetables to the list.
She had received a piece of news from somewhere that there was going to be a drought in this area very soon and thus she wanted to save as many vegetables as possible by turning them into pickles lest Yu Dong could no longer sell her vegetables in the summers.
This was the reason why Jian Cheng ended up coming to this shop late.
Maybe next time he will simply send Madam Geng to buy the vegetables because she only knows how to waste time!
He smiled at Yu Dong and handed her the list which his wife corrected and rewrote for him and then said with slight embarrassment, ” I know it’s a bit much but there is no need for you to feel troubled. Just hand me the stock that is available.”
