Chapter 114 A Unique Vegetable Picking Journey (Part 2)
When Xia Yu arrived at the vegetable market, it was like opening a new world for her. She stared at the plump, green worms in front of her for a long time.
"Young man, would you like some bean caterpillars? They're delicious." The owner, who had a towel around his neck, smiled and grabbed at the bean caterpillars in his basket, treating them like toys.
"Can this thing be eaten?" Xia Yu reached out and gently poked the soft insect in front of her.
"Of course you can eat it, it's delicious," the owner replied with a smile.
"Then give me a pound to try."
"Okay, I'll take care of it for you." After weighing the items, the shopkeeper took them into a clean little room in the back to process them.
Next, Xia Yu encountered all sorts of strange ingredients, such as sandworms, silkworm pupae, and pig brains, but without a doubt, he managed to get them all.
Now I finally understand what Hou Yunqi meant.
This livestream gave me the creeps.
[If the director had only sent Xia Yu out to buy groceries, I guarantee that lunch and dinner would have been a complete disaster.]
[I don't dare eat any of these things Xia Yu bought.]
[I can only say that I admire anyone who can eat two or three of these.]
Yunxi's situation was much more normal. He and Zhong Ran were going in the same direction, but they didn't choose to buy from the same store.
"How much are the bell peppers per pound?" Yunxi asked skillfully, looking at the red and yellow bell peppers in front of her.
"Ten yuan per jin," the proprietress replied with a smile.
"It's too expensive, seven yuan. I'll pick a few." Yunxi said with a smile, holding the small basket in her hand.
"You're cutting the price way too much. How about 9 yuan?" The proprietress looked like she was losing money.
Yunxi stood there with a smile on her face and didn't say anything.
"Alright, it's 7 yuan then, but young man, you must come back to buy again next time. This price is really the lowest. You can't get it for less than 8 yuan at other stalls." The proprietress handed Yunxi a bag.
"Thanks, ma'am, may you make a fortune in the future." Yunxi bought many kinds of vegetables at this stall, and the ma'am gave him extra vegetables because she saw that he bought a lot.
When Yunxi left the vegetable section, she ran into Zhong Ran again. Zhong Ran's bag contained vegetables that were either one or two pieces, or one or two stalks.
"How much did you pay for these bell peppers?" Zhong Ran asked, looking slightly smug, as he pulled out the bell peppers he had bought. Two peppers cost 28 yuan.
Yunxi stared wide-eyed in shock at the amount on the other person's bag. "You mean a small amount? Two 28s?"
Yunxi looked at Zhong Ran, who had a look on his face that said, "I got a good deal," and was utterly speechless. "Is this kid out of his mind?"
[Haha, I'm so jealous! Zhong Ran just negotiated a 2 yuan discount with the shop owner.]
[I was stunned when I saw him buy them. The two bell peppers weren't very big, and he wanted 28 yuan. Those two bell peppers probably didn't even weigh a pound!]
[Without comparison, there's no way to appreciate the difference; 7 yuan per jin here in Yunxi is incredibly cheap.]
[Even though it wasn't my money that was spent, my heart still aches.]
At first, I thought it wasn't a regular bell pepper, but it turns out it's just a regular bell pepper (facepalm).
[The other bell peppers protested, "Why are you so much more expensive when we're all from the same source?"]
It was 11:10 when everyone had gathered.
Except for Xu Wangqian, who had spent all his money, the others still had a considerable amount left.
Everyone returned the way they came.
Before the group even reached the entrance of the guesthouse, they saw several people standing there, constantly looking in their direction.
Xu Wang immediately spotted Pei Yanchuan standing at the very front.
Xu Wang smiled and waved to him.
As soon as Xu Wang stopped the car, Pei Yanchuan walked up to him and took the bag from his hand.
As soon as Pei Yanchuan picked up the bag, he felt its weight and glanced down at it. He knew then that there was absolutely no vegetables inside.
Gu Yunlan held the light bag in her hand, her inner voice filled with tears.
Hou Yunqi didn't even look at them, because he knew that there was a high probability that he wouldn't need many of the groceries his wife had bought for lunch and dinner today.
Leng Yifan walked up to Zhong Ran and took the bag from his hand. Zhong Ran let go of his hand, smiled, and hugged Leng Yifan's hand. Leng Yifan felt Zhong Ran's sudden enthusiasm and was a little unaccustomed to it.
Seeing that everyone around him had left, Jiang Xiubai came up to Yunxi and said, "I'll help you."
Yunxi stared at the serious-looking Jiang Xiubai in front of her and suddenly didn't react.
"Hey! Do you need my help? If you don't, then I'm leaving. You only have this one chance to answer, or you'll miss it." Jiang Xiubai looked at Yunxi, who was suddenly in a daze, and flashed his signature smile, waving his hand in front of her.
Yunxi was speechless; he really was still the same old him.
With a forced smile, Yunxi piled all the bags in her hands into the other person's hands.
Jiang Xiubai was taken aback by the weight of the bag.
Pei Yanchuan and the others carried all the ingredients into the kitchen.
Gu Yunlan numbly took out bag after bag of vegetables from the bag.
Pei Yanchuan stood opposite him, forming a stark contrast, with bag after bag of meat appearing on the table.
"No, are both of your husbands picky eaters?" Jiang Xiubai raised an eyebrow as he looked at the clearly separated ingredients on the table.
