The jovial grin on the stall owner’s face faded slightly upon hearing what Yu Ting wanted to buy, leaving the middle-aged man flabbergasted at his stall.
Uh.
"Miss, I don’t have that much king crab and shrimp."
Yu Ting glanced at the water tank before her that was barely half a meter wide. Realizing the impracticality of her previous statement, her eyes rolled briefly before she spoke again, "Alright, then just pack up everything you have for me."
"Sure." The vendor’s smile returned as he grabbed a bag to start packing and weighing the seafood for Yu Ting.
Splash splash.
Crab after crab was thrown into the bag. The lively movements from the crabs and the vendor’s rough handling splashed quite a bit of water around, prompting Yu Ting to quickly pull Xiaobao back.
Xiaobao gripped Yu Ting’s hand tighter. His eyes followed the vendor’s movements, glancing between the bin and the plastic bag. He looked at the vendor filling four bags full of stuff, then turned his puzzled gaze towards Yu Ting.
"Why are you buying so much?"
As he asked this question, his mouth instinctively pouted, and his eyes, full of craving, opened wide. Despite his young age, his eyelashes were quite long.
"Because you like to eat." Again, she spends another 2 million.
Yu Ting replied quickly and decisively, her gaze fixed on the stall owner.
Continuing to look up at Yu Ting, Xiaobao felt the warmth from her palm.
"Sister-in-law is so nice."
...
"Miss, my king crabs are 120 per jin, and here we have 17 of them weighing 30 jin. The shrimp are 65 per jin and weigh a total of 8 jin." The stall owner efficiently packs the seafood, filling nine bags with just the king crabs and shrimp.
The vendor, looking at Yu Ting, smiled until crow’s feet appeared at the corners of his eyes, "That’ll be 4960. I’ll just charge you 4900, no need for the change."
"How about 10000? Where’s your Alipay QR code? I’ll send you 10000 then." Hearing the vendor willingly rounding down the price, Yu Ting furrowed her thin eyebrows.
Why is he trying to save me money?
Vendor: ?
"Miss, 4900 for these goods is just fine."
"No need to be polite. You’re running this stall on your own. It’s not easy, so there’s no need to save me money. 10000."
Xiaobao stood stiffly, glancing between the two before finally fixating his gaze on Yu Ting.
She’s such a nice person!
...
After four or five minutes of debating the price, Yu Ting ended up paying 4500 and even got a scallop weighing more than two jin for free. As Yu Ting left with several bags in hand, the vendor watched her go, tears welling up in his eyes.
"That young lady is a real gem! So considerate."
Yu Ting: ...
"Take the scallop home and give your son a nutrition boost. Come back when you’ve finished eating!"
Yu Ting: ....
Because she was carrying the bags, Xiaobao held on to her clothes instead. The two of them were making their way through the market aisle.
"Xiaobao, see if there’s anything else you want to eat."
"Okay."
"Do you want to go to the supermarket later and buy some toys, Xiaobao?"
"Mm, Xiaobao wants to."
...
"Do you want to buy a car?"
...
While planning what to do after shopping, they scoured the market for goods. Yu Ting first took a round to buy everything Xiaobao wanted to eat, and then went another round to buy some side dishes.
"Boss, give me three chickens."
"Boss, I’ll take some of this green vegetable."
"Boss, I’ll take ten jin of pork."
...
"Boss, give me half a cow."
"We don’t have that."
