Chapter 110 Choosing a Rehabilitation Institution

The next day, after a quick breakfast, Yunxia carried a basket on her back and went to the market to buy vegetables. There were plenty of fruits and vegetables in her space. She bought ten catties of pork belly and six catties of ribs. Just as she was about to leave the butcher shop, she happened to see Wang Dali selling vegetables at his stall.

After his release from prison, his status in the Wang family plummeted. Wang Tianhao hated him for ruining his future, and Wang Tianshui and Wang Tianci, brainwashed by Li Cuihua, also disliked him. Only Old Lady Li still treated him like a precious gem.

I had to beg and plead to rent a stall in the market. The vegetables were okay, but the prices were too high, so very few people bought them. After three months, I not only didn't make any money, but I also lost tens of dollars.

Later, he got smarter and set his vegetable prices lower than his competitors, but the quality was questionable. He bought unwanted vegetables at low package prices. The elderly love to bargains, so the vegetable stall sold fairly well, and his monthly profit was a few dollars more than when he was earning a fixed salary.

"Oh, it's Xiaxia! Long time no see, I almost didn't recognize you. What kind of vegetables do you want to buy? Come pick them from my stall, I'll give you a 20% discount."

wilted greens, wrinkled tomatoes, shrunken cucumbers...

A quick glance revealed nothing new. Yunxia shook her head and said, "No, Uncle Wang, I can't take advantage of you. I need to go buy some seasonings. See you later!"

"No need, you mean seasonings? I have plenty here!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large cardboard box from the bottom of the stall, glanced around furtively to make sure no one was watching, opened the box, and said mysteriously, "Xiaxia, I'm only being this nice to you because of Jianfeng. Look, this is all freshly delivered goods, and the price is 50% off!"

A 50% discount? Are you not making any money?

I raised my eyebrows slightly, leaned closer to take a look, and was immediately speechless!

The "Red 99" has become "Red Pill". The little dot is very light in color and blends into the background color of the packaging. You can't tell the difference unless you look closely.

The same applies to other goods. The vegetable market has regulations that stipulate that anyone found selling counterfeit goods will be investigated and punished, fined 10 times the price of the stolen goods, and also reported to the district and added to the blacklist of vegetable markets in the entire city.

Seeing the girl staring for a long time without speaking, he closed the box and asked softly, "How many bags do you want? Uncle will get you some bags to pack."

"No, before I left, Aunt Wu instructed me to go to the spice shop and pick out Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, black pepper, cinnamon, etc., and ask the owner to help me press them with salt. Uncle Wang, you go ahead and do your work, I won't disturb you while you're doing business."

Wang Dali was not about to let the fat sheep he had caught run away. He grabbed the edge of the basket and said anxiously, "Freshly squeezed juice is nowhere near as clean as packaged juice. The juice I buy is all sterilized, and the recipe was developed by experts over three years. It is guaranteed to be delicious and nutritious."

Experts studied it for three years? Ha! Nobody would believe that!

Using a clever trick, she broke free from her restraints. "Uncle Wang, everyone has different tastes. Aunt Wu and I both prefer light flavors. Oh, isn't that Manager Yang?"

Upon hearing that the administrator was coming, she quickly hid the cardboard box, a simple smile on her face, "Xiaxia, you go first, Uncle has important business to attend to."

Yunxia curled her lip in disdain, adjusted her suspenders, and slowly walked away. Finally, she stole a glance from across a dozen or so stalls.

Not far away, Wang Dali was fawningly introducing the vegetables, while Manager Yang, with a stern face, was writing and drawing in his notebook. Finally, he frowned, said a few words, put his hands behind his back, and strode away.

Wang Dali gritted his teeth, his lips opening and closing as if he were cursing a lot of swear words. After spitting on the ground, he returned to his stall, put on a simple and honest smile, and started shouting.

Wow, the education wasn't thorough enough!

Arriving at the spice shop, I selected more than a dozen ingredients, had them ground into powder, and put them in a transparent plastic bucket. I also picked out necessities such as salt, vinegar, and light soy sauce.

"Boss, how's business at the store lately?"

The shop owner sighed repeatedly at the mention of this, saying, "I don't know why, but business is getting worse every day. Some of my old customers, when they pass by, disappear in a flash before I can even call them."

"Perhaps a new spice shop has opened in the market and is taking away your business."

"No, I've checked. There aren't any newly opened spice shops in the market or on the nearby streets. Ugh, it's driving me crazy. If this keeps up, I won't be able to afford the rent anymore."

"Boss, don't be discouraged. Maybe it's just because it's hot and people prefer lighter flavors, so they're using less seasoning. Business will naturally pick up again when it gets cooler. Could it be that someone is selling seasonings on the side?"

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. After a moment's thought, the shop owner realized that there was a high possibility that someone was stealing seasonings, so he secretly decided to find a way to catch the culprit.

After saying goodbye to the spice shop owner, Yunxia bought some melon and vegetable seeds, candies, biscuits, and melon seeds, and then carried the basket home.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, I saw Jiang Chao sitting in a rocking chair, while Feng Jingling and Jiang An squatted in front of a large basin, washing clothes with great effort.

"Little butterfly, you're finally back! Waaah, he bullied me!"

Xiao Jiang'an also pouted, glancing sideways at his older brother, looking like a pitiful little thing who was being bullied but dared not speak up.

"Hehe, you two have made a mess of the house after I've been gone for half a month! Mushrooms have even grown on the socks in the corners!"

Inside the kitchen, Yun Xia, who had put down her basket and taken out a large pile of fruits and vegetables from her spatial storage, raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this and excitedly asked, "Really? Big brother, did you take a picture of it?"

*Splash!* The boy hurled the brush, splashing water everywhere.

"You stinky Jiang Chao, if you expose my secrets again, I'll expose all your snoring, teeth grinding, and farting in your sleep, hmph!"

"Hey you, surnamed Feng, explain yourself clearly, or I'll have you wearing a slipper!"

The husky winked, and Jiang An understood. He turned his head and said solemnly, "Brother, it's true! The snoring is as loud as a drill. It kept me and the teacher awake all night."

After saying that, he squinted, stuck out his tongue, made a face, and then... continued to huff and puff while washing clothes.

Jiang Chao was so angry that he wanted to bite his tongue. He picked up his cane and was about to teach the two liars a lesson when Yun Xia saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop him. After much persuasion, she finally managed to persuade him to stop.

At noon, I made a light version of braised pork, stir-fried a few side dishes, and served noodles that had been rinsed three times with cold water. This meal was incredibly delicious.

After lunch, under someone's gloomy gaze, the painting master and apprentice continued washing clothes in the yard. After washing the dishes, Yunxia carried the thermos to the supermarket to deliver food to Aunt Wu and the others.

"Xiaxia, it's hot, so don't bring me food anymore. Aunt Qu and I will just make do with whatever we have."

"No way, you need to eat well to have the energy to work. Aunt Wu, I still need to visit a few rehabilitation institutions. Leave the thermos here for now, you can take it with you when you go home tonight."

After saying that, he took a creamy ice cream, took a bus, and arrived at a warehouse in the suburbs. Cold chain warehouses were just emerging, and Gu Xun, who had a good business sense, quickly got involved in this industry. Yun Xia rented a warehouse from him, and after taking the fruits and vegetables out of her space, she took a car to the rehabilitation institution.
