Chapter 873: Born to attract money!
The long sign is painted in light green and engraved with four large golden characters - Tiantian Fruit and Vegetables.
The brand is also engraved with a big apple in the lower left corner and a cabbage in the upper right corner.
It looks really refreshing and funny. Even an illiterate person can guess that this is a shop selling fruits and vegetables.
Of course, what attracts everyone’s attention the most is the glass window covered by red silk.
A large piece of glass, clean and transparent, you can see clearly inside at a glance.
Just opposite the window is a fruit display stand.
Dark red lychees were picked together with the branches and leaves and bundled into arms as thick as one another.
The fruit is in the middle and the leaves are on the outside, like a bunch of flowers.
Golden bananas are neatly stacked in one place, some are as big as wooden basins, and some are just four or five in a bunch.
Pink peaches, each as big as the mouth of a bowl, are placed in a rattan frame, and the sweet fragrance can be smelled from a distance.
There are also white jade melons as big as small pottery pots, lying quietly together one by one.
The top ones are cut in half, revealing their rich and sweet insides.
Looking further to both sides, there are vaguely red apples, yellow pears, large piles of tangerines, and even further away, there are green vegetables...
No one spoke for a while, but the sound of swallowing could be heard everywhere.
This is winter!
It’s snowy and it’s not easy to eat even a cabbage or a radish, let alone a fruit in winter…
Moreover, most of these fruits have never been seen before!
Someone asked in a low voice: "What is that purple-red ball?"
The others didn’t know, so they said eagerly: “That one must not be delicious, I saw the peach, it’s so big, it must be delicious!
“Did you pick the peaches from the Queen Mother’s peach garden?”
Jiayin glanced at Zhao Hui and stepped aside.
Zhao Hui explained to everyone with a smile.
“That dark red ball is called lychee. It is a fruit produced in Quanzhou. The flesh is white, sweet and refreshing.
“It’s a pity that it’s so delicate. It needs to be kept in ice during transportation to ensure that it doesn’t spoil.
“Our master’s fleet dug out the whole tree in a large pottery jar and planted it in a greenhouse. We barely managed to raise it until this point. We got a hundred kilograms of fruit, which is simply more valuable than gold...
“There is also that long golden fruit called banana. Peel it and eat the pulp inside. It is sweet and soft. It is most suitable for the elderly and children without teeth.
“This thing is more valuable. It grows in the extreme south. Twenty trees were transported back, but only two died on the road. They are planted in greenhouses all year round. They need to be as hot as summer all the time to support them.
“That white jade melon is grown in the Gobi Desert in the southwest. Because there is little rain and the days are long, the melon is particularly sweet.
“What should I say? Take one bite and it will be so sweet that your teeth will fall off! If you don’t lose your teeth, I will give you two taels of silver!”
Zhao Hui is worthy of having been in charge for many years. He is very sharp-tongued and his tone is exaggerated and funny, which makes the onlookers laugh along with him from time to time and make rivers of saliva flow.
But the cane basket of the fruit had a note with the price written on it.
White jade melons cost ten taels of silver each, and each person is limited to one.
Lychees and bananas both cost three taels of silver per catty.
Peach is one tael of silver each. The price is really scary...
At this time, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia came hand in hand to cheer. Of course, the one running in front was Baozhu.
This time she had a better memory. When she saw Jiayin wearing men's clothes, she immediately slowed down and followed her mother, and kept winking at Jiayin.
Jiayin was amused by the news. He stepped forward to greet Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia, and then led them into the shop.
Jiayin casually took a tangerine, blocked Baozhu's mouth, and then walked around the shop with Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia Er.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia are close to the Li family, and they also know that Baiyunjian was opened by good news.
Even Cyclamen and Tao Hongying’s pickle shop have good news.
But this time I saw with my own eyes that such an older little girl did everything herself, from repairing the shop, training the staff to opening the shop, and opened the shop smoothly.
The two of them still couldn't help but sigh, are all children today so powerful? !
Even the housewives of ordinary families may not be able to do this, and even many men cannot do it!
"Princess, your shop is so comfortable, spacious and clean! It's really hard to get some sunshine into the house on such a winter day." Mrs. Jia Er said quickly, took Jiayin's hand and praised her.
Mrs. Liu also smiled and said: "Yes, I originally thought that Hongying and the old lady were gone, but I was also worried that the princess would not be able to come by herself.
“The result is really surprising, the princess is really amazing!”
Jiayin smiled and rolled her eyes, "Auntie, please don't praise me, I'm easily proud.
"Besides, I am not good at anything else. I just have a little bit of talent in business, and I am naturally attracted to money!"
"Hahaha, this kid is so good at talking!" Mrs. Liu laughed so hard, patted Jiayin's back and said, "Hurry up and get a basket for my aunt. I brought a lot of money today, so I'll give you a good start. !”
Mrs. Jia Er also followed up and said: "And me, bring me a big basket. I have this greedy girl Baozhu at home. Without it, there won't be enough food!"
Baozhu's small mouth was stuffed like a squirrel. He happened to look over and spit out two orange seeds in protest, making everyone laugh.
Soon, Mrs. Jia Er and Mrs. Liu brought their personal maids and walked around the shop carrying a basket.
The little maid in charge of selling was very nimble. When she saw Mrs. Liu looking at the white jade melon, she took a sharp knife, cut half of the white jade melon into pieces, put it in a white porcelain bowl, and stuck a toothpick in it.
Mrs. Liu smiled and tasted a piece, and said in surprise: "Oh, the princess really took out all the good things from the bottom of the box. I have never tasted this melon before, it is so sweet."
The little maid hurriedly said: "Madam, you really know the goods. We only sent twenty of these white jade melons to our family. They may be gone in a few days."
“Then I’ll get one, so I won’t be unable to eat anything I want in a few days.” Mrs. Liu nodded, and the little maid immediately picked up the largest white jade melon and put it into the basket.
On the other side, Mrs. Jia Er is also carrying a basket and picking up vegetables.
The old lady at home has been suffering from heat recently and has a bad appetite. She wants to eat something light. Now is a good opportunity.
The village chief led the people in the morning so their feet did not touch the ground, and the vegetables they picked out were also very good.
The roots of the Chinese cabbage were cut off, the upper half was not soaked in water, and the lower half was washed and white, and carefully bundled into small handfuls.
The rotten leaves and mud were removed from the leeks, and they were tender and neatly stacked handful by handful.
Spinach has tender stems and fat leaves. When you pick it up with a little force, you can hear a snapping sound!
The little boy holds a small watering can in his hand and "squeezes" the surface of the vegetables at any time to ensure that all the vegetables are fresh and juicy, as if they were just picked from the ground...
The onlookers outside the window couldn't help but be envious when they saw Mrs. Liu and others chatting and laughing, tasting the fruits and filling the baskets.
