Yun Zhiyi also saw the situation at the stall and roughly understood what they wanted to do.
She said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't negotiate prices here."
The woman hesitated for a moment, but the head of the household was still urging her loudly from afar, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and buy one.
When I bought the cucumbers, the vendor cut them into strips and arranged them in a large bowl.
Add a small handful to the noodles whenever someone orders fried noodles.
The originally ordinary fried noodles were instantly made much more fragrant.
The guests smelled the aroma, and although it wasn't as fragrant as the previous one, it was better than nothing, so they all ordered a bowl to try.
After tasting it, everyone praised how delicious it was.
Surprisingly, cucumber shreds are even more refreshing when eaten with stir-fried noodles.
Immediately, many people couldn't resist ordering another bowl.
Even the man who had previously taken a cucumber couldn't resist ordering a bowl.
But after finishing the meal, I felt even more sorry for the bowl that I had to resell.
Although it's still delicious, the smaller portion and the absence of eggs make a noticeable difference.
Passersby, seeing so many people gathered around the fried noodles stall and smelling the delicious aroma, couldn't resist coming over to join the fun.
After eating, I found that this fried noodles were indeed very good, so I secretly made a note of it.
People from the shops on both sides couldn't resist coming over to buy a bowl as well.
The stall owners were busy but beaming with joy.
But when I reached into the bowl again, I found that the cucumber shreds were all gone.
Seeing that there were still many people around, he quickly urged his wife to go buy another one.
Without the slightest hesitation, the wife immediately turned around and squeezed through the crowd to run to the Yunjian Vegetable Shop.
A cucumber costs 30 coins. If they can sell 30 servings of fried noodles, and add 2 coins to each serving, they will earn an extra 60 coins. After deducting the cost of the cucumber, they will still have 30 coins left.
Yun Zhiyi found it somewhat amusing, thinking that the stall owner was quite clever.
The cucumber controversy has brought many people's attention back to vegetable shops.
Looking at the price, I really don't dare to make a move.
The owner of the rattan weaving shop stood at the door watching the commotion for a while, then thought about it and came over to remind her.
"Young lady, I think your cucumbers taste really good, but they're so expensive that people won't try them easily. Why don't you cook some for the people who come to see them?"
After saying that, he felt that something seemed unreasonable.
After all, a cucumber costs 30 coins, so you have to cook one whole cucumber if you're going to stir-fry it.
If they still can't sell them, then the 30 coins will have been wasted.
He quickly said, "Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Yun Zhiyi was delighted. "That's a great idea. I'll give it a try."
She took out an egg and handed it to him, saying, "Thanks for the reminder."
The boss now realizes that his suggestion was terrible, and he's too embarrassed to take her eggs.
A good egg costs five or six coins.
Yun Zhiyi didn't insist and put the small wok back at the door.
This time, however, she didn't cook cucumbers. Instead, she picked a few cabbage leaves, tore them into strips, and boiled them in plain water.
When the rattan weaving shop owner saw this, he thought she was reluctant to part with the cucumber, but he wondered how the cabbage tasted.
He soon found out.
Although the flavor of cabbage is not as strong as that of cucumber and egg stir-fry.
But the sweet aroma up close is also very tempting.
He looked at the pot of cabbage, hesitating whether he should try one.
Then the owner of the grocery store across the street walked over, clearly having overheard their conversation.
He asked, "This is a sample; we don't need to buy anything, right?"
Yun Zhiyi nodded, "We won't force anyone to buy or sell, but each person can only try one."
"good."
He took the skewer, stuck one in his mouth, and started talking as he put it in.
"I'd say you should stick to cucumbers, cabbage is too expensive, otherwise..."
The moment the cabbage entered his mouth, he stopped talking.
The cabbages here are all long and thin, greenish-white, with slightly tough stems.
The type of Chinese cabbage that Yun Zhiyi grows is light in color and tender.
The vegetable stalks are as white as jade, juicy and very sweet, while the leaves are tender but not mushy.
Seeing the way he squinted and savored the taste, the rattan shop owner knew that the cabbage must taste good too, and he was immediately tempted.
It was his idea, but he was too embarrassed to say he wanted to try it, as it sounded like he was deliberately trying to take advantage of the situation.
To his surprise, the shopkeeper stuck one in his hair and handed it to him, saying, "Would you like to try it?"
The food was practically offered to me; how could I refuse?
The rattan shop owner quickly thanked him, took the rattan, and took a bite. Instantly, his eyebrows relaxed.
It's so fresh and sweet, like it's been sweetened with honey, but not that kind of sweetness.
At this moment, the grocery store owner was already discussing with Yun Zhiyi whether she could buy a quarter or half a piece.
Yun Zhiyi chuckled and shook her head. "Vegetables have to be sold whole, but you might be able to wait and see if anyone is willing to share with you."
Upon hearing this, the grocery store owner had a sudden inspiration and immediately looked at the rattan shop owner next to him, who was still savoring the moment.
"Old Chen, how about we take one?"
The rattan shop owner nodded without hesitation this time.
He had eaten cucumbers before, and now he discovered that cabbage tastes just as good as cucumbers.
One head of cabbage weighs 10 jin (5 catties), and if each person eats half, five jin (2.5 kg) costs 75 wen (75 wen), which is quite expensive, but at least we can save some money and it can last for several meals.
It's much more affordable than cucumber.
The two bought a cabbage, and Yun Zhiyi helped cut it in half. She even weighed it for them, and they were exactly the same, both weighing 5.3 jin.
Unexpectedly, there were three ounces more than expected, and the two men beamed with joy, praising her profusely.
"Cloud store is amazing!"
Yun Zhiyi just smiled.
The couple's actions and the aroma of the cabbage had already attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Seeing that they were willing to spend so much money on such expensive vegetables, I couldn't help but want to go up and try them.
Anyway, it doesn't cost any money to try.
An older woman stepped forward first, and after confirming several times that the sample was free, she took one to eat.
After eating, she became conflicted.
