The middle section is eight meters long, and the top of the large frame, which is made up of many frames pieced together, is filled with a whole row of Chinese cabbages.
Each cabbage weighs ten pounds, and its white and tender green leaves make for a rather spectacular and beautiful sight.
The second layer contains cucumber, radish, and green eggplant.
The third layer consists of bean sprouts, scallions, celery, garlic, fresh ginger, and melon seeds.
This floor is full of new products, but since most of them are vegetables and side dishes that don't last long, the quantity is relatively small.
They were all packed in small oval-colored wicker baskets.
There were only ten baskets of bean sprouts, each weighing about five pounds.
The sunflower seeds were packed in cloth bags, four bags in total.
There are fresh ones and three kinds of stir-fried ones: five-spice, caramel, and original flavor.
There was only one basket of each of the other side dishes.
Prices were also posted under the shelf; the prices of the old dishes remained unchanged.
New bean sprouts cost 30 yuan per pound, and the scallions are bundled together and tied with straw rope.
Each bundle weighs 5 liang (approximately 250 grams) and costs 5 wen (approximate
Parsley and scallions are priced the same.
Ginger is sold by weight, 10 coins per ounce; garlic is sold by the piece, all of the same size, 30 coins each.
This price is quite expensive; ordinary people generally wouldn't buy it.
It's mainly intended for sale to those who have plenty of money.
The sunflower seeds were more expensive, according to the price she had previously agreed upon with the farmers.
Raw melon seeds cost 100 wen per jin, and roasted melon seeds cost 120 wen per jin.
After all, the seasonings used are not ordinary.
The fourth layer is cabbage, with each leaf wrapped in layers, round and plump, green and crisp, very fresh.
Also much larger than regular cabbages, each weighing five pounds, priced at 70 coins.
On the next level, there were a hundred exquisite little wicker baskets.
The baskets were filled with strawberries, but this time there were not only the Golden Pearl strawberries, but also pure white Snow Jade strawberries.
Each basket contains one pound of strawberries, limited to one serving per person. Just take the ones you like to avoid damaging them by picking them by hand.
Both types of strawberries are priced the same, about ten strawberries per pound, and are priced at 500 coins.
The first group of people who lined up to enter looked at the vegetables on the shelves with a mixture of joy and regret.
There are indeed a few more new dishes, but unfortunately they are too expensive and not as satisfying as the previous ones.
This is the thinking of ordinary people.
Servants sent by wealthy families did not have this concern.
I grabbed a basket at the door and quickly grabbed one of each item.
The only regret is that the purchase limit is too troublesome.
Several people always come together.
"Young master, young master, the goods are here. There are also many new vegetables and strawberries today."
Inside the Yu residence, several servants, each carrying a heavy basket, entered through the back door and hurried towards their young master's courtyard.
Yu Shaolian was entertaining guests in the courtyard when he heard the sound, and his expression changed slightly.
Seeing several servants appear at the courtyard gate, he quickly smiled and waved to them.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Just buy the groceries and deliver them to the kitchen. Why are you talking to me like this?"
The servant was shrewd enough to realize that the visitor seemed to be a stranger, so he dared not say anything more and left in response.
The guest, however, said...
"Hey, wait a minute, I think I just heard 'strawberry'?"
Yu Shaolian's breath hitched, and he laughed loudly.
"Brother Kun must have misheard. He probably meant that the food was gone."
The handsome young man opposite him looked at him with a half-smile, and nodded in agreement, "I see."
Seeing that he believed him, Yu Shaolian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled to his servant to leave.
Looking to the side again, I saw that the seat opposite me was empty.
In the blink of an eye, the person who had just disappeared reappeared, now carrying a basket.
Then, a servant who hadn't run far outside shouted in alarm, "Ah! Thief! Help! Catch the thief!"
Yu Shaolian realized that the person opposite him had already lifted the gray cloth on the basket, revealing several neatly stacked boxes of strawberries inside.
"Hmm, they really do look very similar to the strawberries from Wei Man Zhai, and the taste is the same too. Brother Yu, you're quite capable, managing to order fresh strawberries from Wei Man Zhai?"
Yu Shaolian looked miserable, knowing that he couldn't save his strawberries today, and could only helplessly hand them over.
Go out first and tell the servants not to make a fuss, then send someone over to wash the strawberries and bring two portions over.
"Well, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but these strawberries are really hard to buy. I had someone go and queue up before dawn to get them for me."
The young man, fanning himself, paused slightly. "Queue? Where are you going to queue? Didn't you buy this from Wei Man Zhai?"
The young man was invited by a friend to have dinner at Wei Man Zhai.
The food at this restaurant is indeed very delicious.
However, he came from a prestigious family, traveled the world, and had tasted all kinds of delicacies, so he was unaware of the world's mortals.
While the dishes at Wei Man Zhai are surprisingly delicious, they aren't exactly unforgettable.
The reason he became interested in Wei Man Zhai and even chose to return to his master's school after the expiration of his term was because he felt that Wei Man Zhai's dishes were extraordinary.
Or rather, Wei Man Zhai's ingredients are unusual.
After eating the dishes at Wei Man Zhai, he and his friends were able to clearly perceive changes in their internal energy and meridians.
The changes may not be obvious after just one consumption, but they are real.
The feeling was somewhat like consuming some rare and exotic flowers and herbs that could warm and nourish the meridians and soothe the internal energy.
Although its effects are not as strong as those rare and exotic flowers and herbs, the quantity is considerable.
If the food from Weimanzhai has such effects, then eating it every day would be just as good as eating rare and exotic flowers and herbs.
Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to book a table at Wei Man Zhai.
But the other party didn't give anyone any face and insisted on following the rules.
Even after they introduced a delivery service, their order book is still full.
The young man even tried to get a table from other people who had reserved it, but no matter how much money he offered, he couldn't get one, which greatly distressed him.
I never expected that coming to find an old friend I'd just met would bring me such a pleasant surprise.
Yu Shaolian had no choice but to tell the truth.
Just then, a maid brought up two plates of strawberries.
However, when they saw a plate of strawberries, they both looked surprised.
Yu Shaolian immediately looked at the maid, "What's wrong with these strawberries? Why are they white?"
The maid looked bewildered and quickly shook her head to indicate that she did not know.
The young man, however, had already picked up a white strawberry and taken a bite.
The next moment, his eyes brightened slightly.
White strawberries and red strawberries have distinct differences in both texture and taste.
Red strawberries are refreshing and slightly crisp, juicy and sweet, with a unique and rich strawberry aroma.
White strawberries have a smoother texture, like eating a refreshing pastry, but they are just as juicy, though the sweetness is different.
It also has a special milky aroma, unlike the fishy smell of ordinary milk, but a particularly pleasant milky fragrance.
Seeing his expression, Yu Shaolian no longer cared about asking the maid any further questions and quickly took one to eat as well.
He had barely taken a bite when his eyes widened, and he vaguely ordered his maid to fetch the servants for questioning.
After eating a strawberry, the young man immediately closed his eyes and carefully felt the subtle changes in his body.
As expected.
He could clearly feel a warm current that made him feel very comfortable entering his body and slowly flowing through his meridians.
Although it is subtle and gentle, it makes people feel very comfortable.
