Ye Yang saw that Liu Duo did not answer his question so he said again, “Little Duo is very awesome!”
Err…
Liu Duo was left speechless once again. She was awesome?
What was she awesome at?
Ye Yang saw that Liu Duo didn’t seem to understand so he looked at the drawing she just drew and said slowly, “You are able to do two things at once.”
F**k!
Liu Duo really wanted to curse. This fella was really becoming more and more two-faced!
She looked away and stopped looking at him. He would always say things that made her speechless. Yang was essentially a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He really knew how to tease people!
Ye Yang looked at the sharp tongue of Liu Duo. Was she actually going to stay silent and not refute him? He really found how she looked right now to be too adorable and the corner of his lips moved up ever so slightly.
How could Liu Duo, who already acted like a little lady in front of Ye Yang, withstand his intentional teasing? Her already red tainted, fair, egg-shape face became even redder and it looked very seductive.
Ye Yang only got up to take care of the seedlings after he watched Liu Duo finish her second drawing.
Liu Duo glanced at his back and muttered, “Yang pretended to have another personality so well. It is only now that I’ve discovered his true side! Besides being outwardly cold and inwardly passionate and having a good personality, he is also very good at being two-faced, and has a slick tongue.
After she finished muttering, she started to focus on her drawing again. Every time Liu Duo finished a drawing, she would scrutinize it very carefully.
Someone would come to sell their tomatoes from time to time and Liu Duo would stop to record down the transaction and pay them. It didn’t delay her work at all.
At this time, a villager that was about thirty years old came to the yard while carrying two big baskets of tomatoes.
“Yang, come and help him weigh them,” Liu Duo said when she saw the villager. The baskets were a bit large and the villager wouldn’t be able to weigh them himself.
Upon hearing her, Ye Yang stopped his work and walked over to help the villager weigh them. Once the weight of the baskets was removed, the tomatoes weighed about forty jins.
When Liu Duo gave him the money, the villager said, “Ye Liushi, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?” Liu Duo looked at him and waited for him to reply.
The villager cleared his throat and said, “It’s like this. I’m preparing to go to the villages in the neighboring towns to purchase tomatoes and sell them to you. Can you consider whether you can increase the price of one jin of tomatoes by one wen?”
Ye Liu and the others had already purchased tomatoes from the neighboring villages so he wanted to visit the villages of neighboring towns and purchase tomatoes before reselling them to Liu Duo!
He would be able to earn more this way.
Liu Duo heard what he said and gave him the money. She then took a few looks at him. This was the first villager who wanted to mimic Ye Liu and the others by going around and purchasing tomatoes!
“I’m not against it if you want to purchase tomatoes since it is your freedom to do so! As for raising the price for you, I need to discuss it with my husbands, so I’ll tell you the result tomorrow.”
“Okay. Then I will get going now.” The villager took his baskets and walked away with his face full of smiles.
When he was gone, however, Liu Duo thought about a lot of things.
If the tomatoes he purchased from the villages from the neighboring towns were added with the ones Ye Liu bought, Aunt Li and the others wouldn’t be able to cope with the amount of tomato sauce they needed to produce. They would need to hire a few more hardworking temp workers.
As Liu Duo was thinking about this, she went into the kitchen to find Aunt Li.
“Aunt Li, go look for a few hardworking aunties to come work here. I’m afraid the three of you won’t be able to cope with the workload in the future…”
Liu Duo told them about what the villager had said just now about going to the villages of the neighboring towns to purchase tomatoes.
Aunt Li nodded when she heard her. “Okay, I understand. Just let me handle this and relax. I guarantee I will find hardworking and strong people to help with the work.”
