Thinking of his younger brother Wen Tao, if he was sold by his uncle last time, he might have lived like this.
So in this society, money and status can determine life and death.
Although her shop is at the end of the street, the traffic of this kind of shopping street is still very large, especially now that Fulai Cloth Shop is so popular, many dignitaries will come to this street.
So, when the fruits were loaded into the car basket by basket, many people came to inquire.
After all, the aroma of this fruit is so strong that people here have never smelled such a sweet fruit.
As soon as Wenxi and Xiaoyu walked out of the door, someone came to ask.
"This girl, I don't know what kind of fruit this is."
Wen Xi smiled and said, "This is called strawberry."
strawberry?
Unheard of.
She took a basket from the car. The moment the car door opened, the extremely rich aroma spread out, and the people around were shocked.
This is too sweet!
They even felt that their spirits were better than before.
Fruits that grow in space are naturally different from other fruits.
In addition to being delicious, it also has the effect of strengthening the body.
This group of people had never been in contact with spiritual springs, so they felt better the moment they smelled it.
"Is this edible?" A man in brocade came up and asked.
"Yes, in addition to the sweet taste, this fruit can also strengthen your body. If you keep eating it, you can prolong your life!" Wen Xi did not exaggerate. Eating fruits from the space for a long time will definitely prolong your life.
"Really or not, extending life is not something you just talk about casually!"
"I'll be open for business right away. The most important thing for a businessman is integrity. Of course, you can't tell lies." After finishing speaking, she took out a strawberry and handed it to the man who just spoke. She smiled and said, "Just try it." knew."
The man took the strawberry and hesitated for a moment. He couldn't bear the temptation of the aroma and took a bite.
What kind of fruit is this that only gods can eat?
So delicious!
He ate the strawberry three times, and everyone looked at him while swallowing their saliva.
"Shopkeeper Li, you should tell everyone what this fruit is like! Don't just eat it yourself!" The shopkeeper of the tea shop next to him asked, stretching his neck.
This man in brocade clothes is the most famous grain store owner in the town, and he is also a prominent figure in the town.
He wouldn't tell lies for a little girl, so everyone would naturally believe what he said. This fruit smelled so sweet and delicious, and I didn't know what it would taste like when eaten.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious! This is the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted. And I just came back from the capital recently. I'm really tired. I just felt refreshed after eating this fruit. This girl really didn't lie."
He cupped his hands and said, "Girl, please forgive me for the offence."
"Shopkeeper Li, you don't have to be polite."
"I wonder how much a basket of strawberries costs, girl?"
"Ten taels of silver per basket." She decided on this price after thinking for a long time.
You must know that only rich and powerful people can afford this fruit. Besides, she is not selling the fruit. This is marketing for her future shop.
From now on, only customers who buy things in her shop can enjoy this fruit.
The purpose of bringing strawberries to the market now is to attract the attention of dignitaries, so that it will be much easier to promote them in your own store in the future.
"Twelve?" The people around him couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Could it be more expensive than gold?
How much can ten taels of silver buy?
Most people are frightened by the price.
But there are many rich people in this group. Shopkeeper Li, who just ate strawberries, is a well-known rich man in the town. This is why Wenxi let him taste it.
You can tell from the way he dresses that this person is very particular. Men here like to hang some accessories around their waists, but most of them hang wooden ones because they are cheap. Those with better conditions will hang jade pendants, but Shopkeeper Li's is jade.
You must know that in Dongchen, jade is an extremely rare item, and any piece of it is worth a fortune.
Many people have a piece of jadeite, which is a heirloom. Shopkeeper Li actually carved it into an accessory and hung it around his waist.
It can be seen that this person's worth is extraordinary.
Shopkeeper Li nodded. He felt that the price was well worth it. Even in the best restaurant in the capital, he had never tasted this kind of fruit. You must know that a dish there starts at five taels, and a signature dish costs more than twenty taels. , how can this fruit be as delicious as this?
"I want five baskets." He handed Wenxi some silver ingots and said, "If the fruit is good, you can send someone to deliver two baskets to my house every day."
Wen Xi was naturally delighted. Unexpectedly, he had already attracted a big customer before he even started selling.
"Don't worry, the quality of the fruit will be the same every day as it is today. There will be more fresh and delicious fruits in the future, and I will give you a portion." She took the silver, handed it to the big fish behind her, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, please." Please leave an address and I will send someone to deliver it to you later."
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and said, "My carriage is right there today, just put it on." He also left his home address so that Wenxi could deliver the goods every day.
Seeing shopkeeper Li taking away five baskets, there were not many in the car. The rich people present came to buy one after another. So, before they could take a step out, the whole car of fruits was sold out.
Xiaoyu was holding hundreds of taels of silver, and everyone was dumbfounded.
This, this, this...
When did it become so easy to make money?
I couldn't help but admire Wen Xi even more. Her master was really awesome.
"Master, you are so awesome!"
Wen Xi smiled and said, "It's just good luck."
Yes, this is really luck. After traveling through time, it also comes with a portable space. She is the only one who has such great luck.
"Master, shall we go to the market then?"
The fruits are all sold out, why go to the market? Sell air?
Just as she was about to shake her head, she caught a glimpse of the carriage.
The carriage she is riding now is still Wang Qing's carriage.
Seeing that the new house is almost finished, it would be more convenient to have a carriage.
"Go and buy a carriage."
When we came to the market, it seemed to be very lively today, and there were many more people coming out to buy things.
There are obviously more vendors.
"Is it possible that today is an important day? Why is it so lively today?" Wen Xi asked.
"Master, you don't know. Recently, many businessmen from other places have come to the town. Many gadgets are new to us, so there are a lot of people on the street recently."
I see.
Wenxi walked to a stall selling handkerchiefs for girls.
Is this veil actually embroidered on both sides?
She picked up the handkerchief and turned it over several times to confirm that it was double-sided embroidery. She was extremely excited for a moment.
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
Her shop needs this kind of exquisite embroidery skills.
"Sister, how much does this veil cost for you?" She picked up the veil and asked softly.
"Eight cents." When the woman saw a business coming to her door, she quickly stood up and introduced her: "Little girl, although my handkerchief is ordinary, my needlework skills are first-class."
