C52 Win-win situation

It was as if there was some arrogant colossus, and this old grandpa did not have such an arrogant aura all over his body, so Lu Qingyu paused for a bit, and slowly became somewhat vigilant.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaorong didn't seem to have any objections, he chuckled and said to the old grandpa: "Grandfather, we came from the countryside, and picked some strawberries on the mountain to ask the manor if you need them?"

When the old man first heard that Lin Xiaorong was from the countryside, he did not reveal any bad expression. It was just that when Lin Xiaorong said that she picked the strawberries on the mountain, her entire person seemed to have eyes and not eyes, and her nose and not her nose, the old man thought to himself, how could such a rare fruit as the strawberries be picked from the mountains so easily?

If that was the case, how could strawberries be sold for such a high price in the capital?

could basically imagine what the old man was thinking. Even if Lin Xiaorong was the old man, Lin Xiaorong would not believe it as well, and with a chuckle, Lin Xiaorong removed the cloth from his bamboo basket, revealing the strawberries, the bright-red strawberries and the lush green strawberries. She was simply too beautiful to behold.

The old man looked at Lin Xiaorong's face and suspiciously looked at the bamboo basket. Then, his eyes suddenly widened, that's right, this was the strawberry, back when his master was still an official in the capital, this old man had watched the strawberries together with his master, they were all real strawberries.

The old grandpa paused, swallowed his saliva and said to Lin Xiaorong: "Oh, so it's like that, I'll go and ask my master, how's the price of this strawberry of yours?"

Lin Xiaorong paused for a while, and asked: "I wonder how much price you can give me? I've never sold anything like that, so I'm not sure. "

Looking at Lin Xiaorong's expression, Lu Qingyu laughed softly. This Lin Xiaorong is really beautiful, no, I can't think about Lin Xiaorong anymore. If I continue to think about Lin Xiaorong, maybe something else might happen to him, but …

Lu Qingyu paused for a moment, his eyes still could not help but look towards Lin Xiaorong's direction. After a long while, Lu Qingyu still sighed, and looked at Lin Xiaorong in an instant. Suddenly, Lu Qingyu seemed to notice that there was a trace of determination in Lin Xiaorong's eyes, as though no matter what anyone did, Lin Xiaorong's thoughts would not be affected.

Seemingly sensing that Lu Qingyu was looking at her, Lin Xiaorong paused before turning his head to look at Lu Qingyu. Laughing softly, he asked: "Qingyu, did something happen? "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingyu and Lin Xiaorong waited for some time before the old grandfather walked out. His attitude towards Lin Xiaorong was completely different, and said very happily: "My master is willing to pay fifty gold coins a catty for that strawberry, I don't know, are you willing to sell it?"

Although Lin Xiaorong knew that the price of the strawberry was very expensive, he never thought that this strawberry would cost around fifty dollars a catty. Tsk, thinking about it, it really was quite unexpected, so he chuckled and said: "This strawberry is about ten catties or so … …"

"Five hundred gold coins, how about that?" It was just that with such an expression, Lin Xiaorong knew that the price could still be raised. Thus, he said a bit gloomily: "How about this, you guys buy all of these strawberries, I'll only charge one or two silver coins, otherwise it would just be five hundred gold coins, this is a little too little …"

As he said that, Lin Xiaorong's face seemed to carry a lot of sadness: "The family's conditions are really too bad, and this strawberry is also present today. I don't know if there'll be any tomorrow, it only costs one tael of silver …"

Although the money did not belong to him, he did not know what was going on with this lady who came from the countryside. Why did she put this price on this just right level?

Not more than a minute, not more …

The old grandpa paused to look at Lin Xiaorong's expression, then gritted his teeth and said: "Alright then, one tael is one tael, no more."

Lin Xiaorong laughed in his heart, but did not expect that he would have any other thoughts. Speaking of which, Lin Xiaorong also knew that this place was simply too poor, and the richest person in this county might not have that much money either.

Seeing this old grandpa give this price to him so straightforwardly, Lin Xiaorong felt a little regretful. Maybe he would be able to ask for a little more?

When the old grandfather gave him the silver, Lin Xiaorong gave the bamboo basket of strawberries to the old grandfather. Regarding this deal, both parties were very satisfied with the fact that the old grandfather was able to complete his mission, Lin Xiaorong was also able to get what he wanted, and was even slightly satisfied with the price, it was a win-win situation.

Luo Pinghuan was the county leader of this county. As a county leader, it could be said that Luo Pinghuan was extremely dutiful of his duty, and in the few years that he had been in charge of this city, there had not been any cases of wrongdoing.

The relationship between Luo Pinghuan and his wife was also very good. In this era where men had three wives and four concubines, Luo Pinghuan looking like this was really hard to come by. And Luo Pinghuan's only son, Luo Shaoyang, was also a young man who had grown up in a jar of honey.

They were also very happy, thinking that their own little fat guy would finally know that it was better to be a little thinner. However, before they could enjoy themselves for long, they discovered that their child truly wasn't willing to eat, and didn't choose to eat because he didn't want to keep his size, so he didn't go to eat.

Luo Shaoyang was their treasure, how could they not eat? Until now, Luo Shaoyang was completely starving.

In this past month, Luo Pinghuan could be said to be everywhere searching for things that could make his son have an appetite. All sorts of new things were sent to the County Leader’s Office, but even so, Luo Shaoyang still did not have any appetite.

In the past few days, Luo Pinghuan had almost lost all his hair, it was a pity, Madame Luo and Old Madam Luo also went to prepare food for Luo Shaoyang to eat, but it did not have any effect, not to mention that Luo Shaoyang did not want to eat anymore, Luo Shaoyang now looked as if he wanted to puke on food, causing the Luo Family to sigh continuously.

However, he could not bear to do so. After trying many different methods, Luo Shaoyang still could not eat properly, so the Madame Luo could only sigh in the end and did not try to force anything out of him.

Just by looking at Luo Shaoyang's appearance, Madame Luo didn't know how many tears he had shed. However, because everyone in the family was extremely indulgent towards this darling, Madame Luo's current appearance wasn't that sudden.

And on this day, after Lin Xiaorong sold all of the jam, County Leader’s Office also unexpectedly reaped a small barrel of fruit.

County Leader’s Office just so happened to be offering a bounty for something their son could eat. That farmers would think that since it was a bounty, what if the things that they sent up could catch the attention of that young master of the county leader and they ate it?

With this thought, the farmer gave the jam to County Leader’s Office's butler, and it was only because Luo Pinghuan was a democratic person, that the farmer was able to see the butler smoothly, and the jam in his hand was sent to Luo Shaoyang.

Because the farmer had already taught the method of eating that Lin Xiaorong had shown to the butler, although the butler found it strange, since the butler already said so, giving the young master food like this shouldn't be a problem. Right?

The steward brought the sliced buns and jams over and placed them in front of Luo Shaoyang. Luo Shaoyang looked at the things in front of him, although he knew that it was good for him to eat all these, no, it should be said that Luo Shaoyang knew that not eating any food was not a good thing, but Luo Shaoyang had no way of controlling himself. He just did not have a proper way to eat all the things, and felt that these things made him feel extremely disgusted.

Taking in a deep breath, Luo Shaoyang mustered up his courage and used his hand to touch that viscous, yellow, and dazzling object. After that, he ruthlessly ate the item in his mouth, and the moment he tasted the item, Luo Shaoyang was completely stunned. That sweet feeling, without the slightest hint of praise, really made Luo Shaoyang feel like he was about to float up in that instant.

A sour and sweet feeling exploded in his mouth. This kind of feeling, this kind of novelty, nodded his head without hesitation and asked: "Is it alright if you just wrap the bun on top of this?"

The steward nodded and replied with great respect, "Yes, just like that."

Although the steward spoke respectfully, the steward was still rather surprised. How could something like this happen? Why did their master eat it?

Of course, although the butler couldn't understand it no matter how he thought about it, this didn't stop the butler from watching Luo Shaoyang pick up the steamed bun and wrap it up with a thick layer of jam. Although the jam was very sweet, but without the bread, adding a little more jam onto the steamed bun would make it easy to eat.

Seeing Luo Shaoyang finish all the steamed buns prepared by the butler, the butler's heart stopped beating happily. However, the butler still asked: "Young master, do you still want to eat more?"

The butler had prepared two steamed buns. To be fair, the butler did not want Luo Shaoyang to continue eating. After all, Luo Shaoyang had not eaten properly for far too long a time.
