No matter what, it’s not too late to go shopping for food after the grand opening.
Di Yelei thought this made sense, so he put the copper coins away.
Liu Sisi quickly arranged the mushrooms and other items in her basket, tightly next to the pile of game. She deliberately arranged the mushrooms one by one to make them look more appealing. Next to them, she arranged the mountain loquats and thorny elaeagnus fruits.
Perhaps it was because the items at Liu sisi’s stall were so unique. As soon as she laid them out, someone immediately came over to ask about the prices.
“What is this? Mushrooms? How much are they?”
The questioner is a middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket, followed by a maid, clearly a woman of means.
Liu Sisi eagerly burst into a smile and said loudly: “Madam, these are mushrooms that my husband and I picked while hunting in the mountains. Whatever the variety, they’re all 40 copper coins a catty. These are Shaggy ink caps, their taste is delicious and similar to chicken meat and cost 80 copper coins a catty. Madam, would you like to buy some to taste?”
The madam gasped: “Why is it so expensive? And could these mushrooms be poisonous?”
“Not expensive, madam. When it comes to food, freshness is paramount! Look at these mushrooms, I have carefully cleaned them. If you buy them, you just need to wash them casually before cooking, very easy. Moreover, I tried some of these mushrooms last night, they’re absolutely non-toxic. You can eat them with confidence.”
While Liu Sisi was talking, she made a point to open the food box she had brought. Inside was a half-eaten mushroom. She then took a big gulp of soup.
The sight of Liu Sisi doing this lit up the madam’s eyes!
Everyone knows that there are mushrooms in the mountains, but no one can definitively say which are safe to eat and which are poisonous.
But now that someone had already eaten these mushrooms, if she bought them, she wouldn’t have to worry about them being poisonous!
“Moreover, give me a catty of each. I’ll taste it first. If it tastes good, and you are still selling here next time, I will come back to buy some more.”
Di Yelei didn’t weigh it, instead Liu Sisi borrowed a scale from the adjacent stall and gave the madam a generous amount, and finally threw in a few extra mushrooms.
Liu Sisi’s actions made the madam squint her eyes and laugh, obviously very satisfied.
“Thank you, madam, that’s a total of 120 copper coins. Madam, this is the game my husband hunted in the mountains yesterday. The game is very nutritious. Since you are here early, you can pick a large one. These wild chickens are 80 coins each, rabbits are 100 coins each, roe deer are 250 coins, and elk is 2 taels of silver. Would you like take one home?”
The madam carefully looked at the game: “Is this fresh? It wouldn’t be good if I eat it in the afternoon and it has spoiled.”
“Madam, rest assured, this game was just hunted yesterday and even last night we kept it chilled in well water, it’s not spoiled for sure.”
The married woman fondled the beast meat for a while, “I’ll take this rabbit and the pheasant, pack it for me.”
Di Yelei on the side was quite taken aback, two pieces of game were sold just like that?
Was it this easy?
Liu Sisi worked quickly, grabbing several large banana leaves from the side to wrap the two pieces of game specified by the woman and put them in the woman’s basket.
“Madam, would you like to bring some loquats home for your children? These fruits are really sweet, kids love them. And these thorny elaeagnus fruits, if there are pregnant women in your home, they would probably like its sour taste.”
Sure enough, her daughter-in-law was pregnant and loved sour food the most!
Looking at the fruits in the basket, the woman’s eyes lit up immediately upon tasting a loquat. It was really sweet and delicious. She couldn’t resist extending her hand to pick up another loquat and pop it into her mouth.
After eating two, she seemed to still want more, reaching out again… until she saw Liu Sisi’s smiling face, then her face turned slightly red, and she retracted her hand: “How much are these?”
Liu Sisi laughed: “These fruits are light in weight, so we don’t weigh them, but they taste good. Both adults and children like to eat them. Always eating pears and apples can be tedious, right? So these fruits are just right to change the taste. If madam is interested in buying all of it, one type of fruit is 30 copper coins, if you buy both together it’s 50 copper coins! So in total, 360 copper coins.”
Also, the madam quickly took out copper coins from her arms and handed Liu Sisi 400 copper coins: “Here, take this money. I will also take the basket, what’s left over can be considered as a tip for you.”
40 copper coins for two semi-used bamboo baskets was quite a surplus!
Liu Sisi did not hesitate, received the coins naturally, and her eyes curled into a smile as she said, “Madam, if you find it delicious, remember to patronize us again next time. My husband often goes hunting in the mountains, so there’s always fresh game at hand. Welcome to come again!”
The woman’s eyes were deep: “If it tastes good when I go home, I will definitely come again.”
After the woman left, Liu Sisi was excited!
These 400 copper coins were the first money she had earned since she came to this world!
Di Yelei, who was next to her, was also very happy. In no time at all, two pieces of the game were sold. His little wife was really amazing!
The longer he knew her, the more inscrutable Di Yelei found her, always feeling that Liu Sisi was more mysterious, as if she had a surprise waiting for him at any moment.
Liu Sisi thought for a moment, took 25 silver coins from this sum, and put them into Di Xuan’s hand who was sitting next to her: “Here! This is the money you and YingEr earned by digging up loquats yesterday. Keep it, but be careful not to lose it.”
