Because they hadn’t sold anything yesterday, there were a lot of stockpiled goods at home, some fresh vegetables that simply couldn’t wait until next week to be sold, so Lu Siyuan unloaded the goods at the stall and went back home to bring another load.
They came to sell vegetables every Saturday and Sunday and have gained quite a few regular customers.
Their vegetables were all farm-grown and affordably priced, so the aunties and some of the younger wives liked to buy from them. After some had made a wasted trip yesterday, they couldn’t help but ask when they saw Shen Mianmian today.
"Mianmian, why didn’t you and your brother come out to sell veggies yesterday?" After having bought from them many times, they had become accustomed to calling her by the nickname Lu Siyuan used.
"We had some things to take care of at home yesterday, and it got too late," Shen Mianmian explained why they hadn’t come, then sweetly handed out a few green onions and garlic cloves to the aunties, making them very happy. They all said that Shen Mianmian knew how to do business.
Every time they came to buy something, Shen Mianmian would affectionately call them auntie and granny. Her voice was so pleasant to listen to, it made their ears melt; some even said they would introduce her to the city when she was older.
Shen Mianmian would always respond with a shy smile, and seeing her embarrassed, the aunties would not press the issue further.
And every time Lu Siyuan heard these comments, he would secretly roll his eyes. What was so good about the city?
In the future, once he made money, he would also buy a house there.
In the morning during the peak time for selling vegetables, with regular customers and affordable prices, as well as high-quality and unique farm-grown vegetables that couldn’t be found in the city markets, the vegetables sold very quickly.
The first batch of vegetables, in just over an hour, was sold out by more than half.
Taking advantage of the lull in customers at the stall, she quickly tidied up the messy stand that the aunties had left.
"Dongcheng, they’re selling chili bean sauce here, don’t you like that? Let’s buy some to take home!" A gentle voice rang out from in front of the stall.
Shen Mianmian looked up and saw Li Shiping holding a child, with her hands full of bags, accompanied by a man with his hands in his pockets, looking reluctant.
This must be her no-good husband, Wan Dongcheng, no doubt.
"Sister Li, are you here to buy vegetables?" Shen Mianmian greeted Li Shiping in a crisp voice.
Li Shiping startled and stared at Shen Mianmian for a moment, then suddenly brightened, "Mianmian, is that you?"
It had only been a year, but the girl’s face had gotten a bit rounder and much prettier; she almost didn’t recognize her at first glance. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
But Mianmian’s clothes... why did they look somewhat familiar, kind of like the ones she had helped He Nan buy the other time.
The clothes weren’t any limited edition; it must be a case of duplicate outfits.
"Mianmian, why didn’t you go to sell dried bamboo shoots later?" He Nan even mentioned wanting to buy some, only, she never went back again.
Shen Mianmian explained clearly, "Dried bamboo shoots weren’t selling well, so I stopped going."
In fact, they had more capital and had started to buy more agricultural produce, and going there was too time-consuming, so they had stopped going.
Li Shiping felt a bit regretful; her family had finished their supply, and she had wanted to buy some more.
"Aren’t we going to buy the chili bean sauce?" Wan Dongcheng, seeing Li Shiping engrossed in chatting, reminded her with a trace of impatience.
Truth be told, if it weren’t for Shen Mianmian’s beauty and the cleanliness of the sauce jars, he wouldn’t bother buying things on the roadside.
Hearing this, Li Shiping hurriedly said with a smile to Shen Mianmian, "Mianmian, could you weigh me two pounds of chili bean sauce?"
