Shopkeeper Chen asked in bewilderment, "Then why don't you lower the price? The buyers probably wouldn't mind."

Yun Zhiyi simply smiled.

This is similar to how bakeries would rather throw away the day's bread than sell it for free or at a low price.

If all the time-limited items can't be sold, they can only be sold at a low price.

Then more people will not buy fresh products, but only wait to buy products nearing their expiration date.

Although she didn't really want to run the store very well.

But she also has her own principles, one of which is that she cannot suffer a loss.

What she gives herself is different from what others take advantage of.

After delivering the food, she closed the shop and slowly drove her carriage away from West Street.

As night fell, Mr. Chen closed his shop, picked up a small basket containing cabbages and cucumbers, and hurried home.

When I got home, smoke was already rising from the chimneys in the yard.

"Dad, Dad, you're back!"

The children, who were busy in the yard and inside the house, immediately ran out.

Mr. Chen touched his head one by one, then greeted his father who was weaving rattan baskets in the yard before heading to the kitchen.

His wife was cooking when she saw him come back, and she raised her elbow to wipe the sweat from her brow.

"You're back. Wait a minute, we can eat as soon as this dish is cooked."

Mr. Chen walked in and said, "I brought some vegetables with me. Could you cook some cabbage soup and cut up some cucumber to eat as fruit?"

Chen's wife was a little puzzled, "Why did you buy vegetables, and why did you buy half and half?"

Mr. Chen gave a brief explanation, but he didn't dare say that he had bought the cabbage at a high price.

He only said that he gave the vegetable shop owner an idea, and that the shop owner gave it to him as a gift.

When Chen's wife heard that the dish was so expensive, she immediately shook her head.

"How can such expensive vegetables be sold?"

"Hey, you know what, the dishes are expensive, but they taste really good. You'll know once you cook them."

Chen's wife certainly didn't believe it, but simply nodded in agreement.

"By the way, go and see your mother, and try to persuade her to see a doctor."

"What's wrong with Mother?"

"She kept saying that her stomach felt heavy and bloated, and that she couldn't get the food out of her stomach. She didn't even eat lunch."

Upon hearing this, Boss Chen roughly understood what was going on, and he nodded, "Okay."

However, even after Chen's wife had set the food on the table, Mr. Chen still couldn't persuade his mother to come out and eat.

The children were drawn by the aroma and gathered around the table.

Upon seeing this, Boss Chen instructed her to scoop half a bowl of cabbage soup and a little sliced ​​cucumber into the bowl.

Chen's wife nodded, took the things inside, and when she came out, she saw the children quietly drinking vegetable soup.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "I must say, this dish is really delicious."

She couldn't resist trying a bite while she was cooking it, and sure enough, the price was justified.

However, it's still too expensive for ordinary families like theirs.

It's not worth spending a lot of money on vegetables just to satisfy your appetite.

Mr. Chen was sipping his soup with relish, his eyes half-closed, as if he had just drunk some kind of divine nectar.

I thought the cabbage was already sweet and delicious enough, but I didn't expect the soup to be the real highlight.

Mr. Chen chewed the cabbage slowly and nodded in agreement.

This dish is indeed excellent; it's completely different from what they usually eat.

That night, a frenzy of grabbing began at many people's dinner tables.

Regardless of whether you like vegetables or not, your chopsticks will always land on the cabbage.

Some families with more money even asked for the address, planning to buy a whole one tomorrow.

Anyway, cabbage keeps well and is easy to eat.

It's especially delicious when used to make soup.

Simply break off two leaves, cut them into shreds, boil them in soup, add noodles, and that's enough for the whole family to enjoy a delicious meal.

The next day, Yun Zhiyi arrived at the shop to open, but the goods hadn't even been put on display yet.

Boss Chen immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Yun, do you still have cabbages for sale today?"

Yun Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Mr. Chen immediately said, "Is it still the same price as yesterday? Can I order one now and pick it up tonight?"

As he spoke, he took out his purse, ready to pay on the spot.

Yun Zhiyi was very easy to talk to, "Okay, same as before, 150 coins per piece."

Mr. Chen immediately counted out 150 copper coins for her.

The owner of the grocery store next door laughed and said, "Old Chen, you finished that half of it so quickly yesterday?"

Mr. Chen chuckled and nodded, "I have many children at home."

He was too embarrassed to say that the truth was that yesterday his mother ate some vegetable soup and cucumber, and then she ran to the outhouse.

After coming out, they kept saying how comfortable they felt, and that they were hungry, so they cooked some more cabbage to eat.

I had only cooked a small portion to begin with, and now there's hardly any left. We'll eat about half of it today.

The main reason is that this dish is very effective.

He had only heard that eating vegetables could help with bowel movements and lung health before, but now he believed it because the effect was so obvious.

If it were just my mother acting this way, I would consider it a coincidence.

His father was the same.

As people get older, their spleen and stomach inevitably weaken, and even if they don't eat much oily food, they often experience constipation.

Not to mention the two elderly people, even he sometimes does it.

He even went to the outhouse in the middle of the night this time.

Only when I went upstairs did I understand what my mother meant by feeling completely comfortable.

It felt like all the waste stuffing in my stomach was instantly washed away, and I felt completely relaxed.

He didn't know whether it was the cabbage or the cucumber that was effective.

Judging from the quantity, it should be the cabbage that played a role.

Now I can understand why Yunjian Vegetable Shop is so expensive.

This vegetable must have been carefully cultivated, and its effects may be better than ordinary vegetables.

If that's the case, then 15 coins for a pound of cabbage is quite a good deal.

So I plan to buy another one and put it in the cellar, which will last for several days.

As the two were talking, an older woman came running over.

"Oh my, girl, you're finally open for business! I thought you weren't opening today."
