An Yuanbo was in a great mood and increased her monthly salary, giving her more opportunities to invite her friends over.
Wenwan felt a slight sense of relief.
But as he was leaving, he heard An Yuanbo say in a calm voice.
"Also, now that you have returned to the Marquis's residence, you should no longer have any contact with the Xu family."
Wen Wan froze, realizing that what had happened at the door must have reached their ears.
She could only force a smile and promise that today was just an accident and that she would never see the Xu family again.
An Yuanbo was satisfied and told her to go back and rest well.
Wen Wan was seething with anger, but when she got back, she didn't dare to smash anything, so she could only vent her anger on her maid.
They treated her as a gentle woman, then knocked her to the ground and kicked her wantonly.
She felt better after venting her anger.
Looking at the maid lying on the ground like a dead person, her eyes were filled with resentment.
gentle!
Suddenly remembering something, her eyes flickered slightly.
Thinking of Xu Baofu who had just left, she smiled and thought, "Who says she has no one she can use?"
Gentle, you just wait!
Lufeng City.
A small vegetable shop quietly opened on West Street today.
Yun Zhiyi stood behind the window, leaning against a pillar, lazily sprinkling water on the vegetables displayed in the shop.
Shop owners around them peeked out, and even passersby looked at them with a strange expression.
There's no other reason than that this is a street full of general merchandise.
It's not that we only sell miscellaneous goods, but rather that we sell a wide variety of them.
The shops on both sides sell everything, and there are also various vendors on the street.
Among them were people who set up stalls to sell vegetables and wild game.
I've never seen a vegetable shop run so seriously before.
However, the vegetables displayed on the wooden board all looked fresh and appealing.
It did attract some people to come up and take a look.
They were all scared away by what was written on the wooden board next to them.
On the board, there were red paper drawings of vegetables.
Behind the illustration is the price, which even illiterate people can understand.
Ten catties of cabbage cost 150 coins per head.
Three pounds of radishes cost 50 coins each.
A cucumber weighing one pound costs 30 coins.
Those who understood couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Then he looked at Yun Zhiyi as if she were looking at a madman.
Someone couldn't help but curse, "Are you crazy for money? Are the vegetables you're selling gold?!"
Yun Zhiyi yawned lazily and laughed, "It's a free market, isn't it?"
The angry old woman felt like she had punched a cotton ball, and could only fum in anger.
"Keep it for yourself!"
Yun Zhiyi shrugged.
She started this small vegetable stall partly because Lu Jingyi would come to complain every few days.
They say the restaurant is fully booked every day, with tables booked up until a month in advance, and a bunch of people come to inquire every day.
Secondly, she's been feeling a bit bored staying in the village lately and wants to find something to do, but doesn't want anything too troublesome.
Thirdly, most of the vegetables in the fields are ready for harvest recently, with high yields per acre, so even though we plant a small amount, the yield is still substantial.
The daily supply to the restaurant is so high that it will spoil before it can use it all.
So I simply opened a vegetable shop as an excuse, stuffing vegetables into my space every day, as if I had moved the vegetable shop there.
As for whether it can be sold at such a high price.
Then let's be like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those who are willing to take the bait.
Anyway, she was just killing time.
People around who heard that her vegetable prices were high couldn't help but come and take a look to see what was so special about her.
The shop owner next door couldn't help but remind him.
“Girl, you’ve set the price of these vegetables too high. They won’t sell, not even on Luping Street.”
Yun Zhiyi just smiled at him and said helplessly.
"I source my vegetables from Guirenzhuangzi. They are grown using special methods, unlike ordinary vegetables, so the price cannot be low."
The boss, who had offered the suggestion, couldn't help but twitch his lips; clearly, no one would believe that.
Judging from her clothes, she didn't look like an ordinary farmer, but she also didn't seem like someone who could associate with any important people.
Besides, even if the vegetables really came from a nobleman's estate, no matter how carefully they were cultivated, they would still be the same.
It's not winter and there's no shortage of vegetables now, so even if vegetable prices doubled, it would seem outrageous, let alone now they've quadrupled.
Seeing that she was unyielding, the boss could only shake his head.
Yunzhi thought the boss was a nice person, so she said, "We are neighbors now, which is quite a coincidence. Please don't mind this small gift."
She smiled and picked up a cucumber, handing it to him.
The boss was immediately dumbfounded, "Your cucumbers are too precious; I can't accept such a gift without having done anything for them."
"Consider it a thank you gift for your kind reminder."
Looking at the cucumbers that the shopkeeper handed over, he had to admit that they were of really good quality.
The melon is slender and uniform in shape, dark green like jade, and has a distinct, rich cucumber flavor, which is quite tempting.
This price is simply unacceptable.
He admitted that the melon was indeed good, but it didn't deserve to be sold at such a high price.
The boss was a kind person and didn't want to appear too cold-hearted, so he accepted the cucumber.
However, he soon brought her a delicate little rattan box from the shop.
This shop sells rattan weaving.
The small rattan box is exquisitely crafted, about the size of two palms, and features colorful painted patterns.
The inside was divided into several compartments, clearly intended for women to store their jewelry, which she readily accepted.
People around shook their heads at the sight.
Feeling that the woman was ripping people off, since the rattan dressing basket should have cost at least fifteen coins, she traded it for a few coins' worth of cucumber.
It's just that the boss wasn't thick-skinned enough and didn't know how to refuse.
Immediately, no one dared to go to the stalls to watch the excitement, for fear of being scammed themselves.
Yun Zhiyi was completely unconcerned about the pointing fingers and whispers around her.
She sat on a high stool, leaning against a pillar, and took out a miscellaneous book to read.
All morning, with so many people coming and going on the street, she still couldn't open a shop.
