古代闺秀被强高H

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?"          

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.      

Thus, these people did not dare to make the same mistake again and thus went inside the Bo and Bun shop.      

When Peng Jing saw that the customers were going inside Yu  Dong\'s shop instead of buying anything from her, she gritted her teeth and bit her bottom lip. In her heart she cursed Yu Dong for being so selfish, they were from the same village couldn\'t she allow her to steal a few of her customers away? She only had a small stock of vegetables anyway, even if she were to steal a few customers what impact would it have!?     

Yu Dong on the other hand did not know that Peng Jing was cursing her in her heart but even so, she noticed a poisonous gaze aimed at her back. She knew that it was Peng Jing and thus did not care about her—— when one was not capable enough they would blame others for their loss.      

" Auntie Yu!" Yu Dong was handing half a catty of blueberries to a woman when she heard a jolly voice and then turned to look at the little girl who was running towards her with a smile on her face, " Auntie Yu, is it true that you are selling something sweet and good!"      

Behind her was a beautiful mer whom Yu Dong had never seen before but when her eyes fell on the baby he was holding in his arms, she knew that this mer was most likely the biological father of Geng Yating.      

" Little princess, you came at the right time," Yu Dong smiled at the girl with a pleasant expression on her face. She pointed to the almost-finished strawberry and blueberries before saying, " We are almost wrapping things up here, you are quite lucky that you came before these were bought by someone."      

When Little Yating saw that there was only a pitiful amount of berries left, she turned to glare at her father, blaming him for coming late.      

Seeing his daughter glare at him, Jian Cheng was helpless.      

" I know that you are upset but look we can still buy a catty of these fruits," said the mer with a smile. " And it\'s not that I was the one who was in the wrong, it\'s your mother who handed a long list to us, what am I supposed to do?"      

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."
