Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Calculation Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Calculation Gu Ya left to buy wine. Meanwhile, the shopkeeper packed the tea leaves Su Yunjin had requested and handed them over to her, “Young Madam, your tea leaves are all packed.”
Su Yunjin took the tea leaves, gave the shopkeeper silver, and then carried the tea leaves out of the shop.
In the marketplace, Su Yunjin thought she had found a vendor selling wild fruits, a hunter who had picked the fruits from the mountains. The fruits looked fresh, and she heard people around saying that they tasted good.
She saw several people had bought some and left.
Su Yunjin had never seen such wild fruits before and wondered what they tasted like. Were they really as delicious as the onlookers had said? Out of curiosity, Su Yunjin decided to try one.
Upon tasting, she found they were indeed delicious, crisp and sweet, with the fruit skin having a slight tang.
Suddenly, Su Yunjin remembered the fruit wine she had in the modern era. She believed that if she used these fruits to make wine, it would definitely turn out tasty.
At this thought, Su Yunjin decided to buy the whole basket of wild fruits from the man. “Uncle, how much for this basket of wild fruits? I want to buy them all.”
“What? Yunjin, you’ll take them all?” Gu Ya, who had come out with wine, had just overheard his young wife’s words and looked at her, a look of surprise on his face.
A whole basket of wild fruits. Could his young wife eat so many fruits?
Not only Gu Ya but even the fruit vendor was taken aback, “Young Madam, are you sure you want to buy so much?”
The man had never encountered a customer who wanted to buy everything at once.
Su Yunjin planned to use these fruits to make fruit wine, so naturally, she wanted them all, “Uncle, I am quite sure, I’ll take this whole basket. Tell me, how much are you selling them for?”
Gu Ya would let his young wife purchase whatever she wanted without stopping her. However, worried that buying so many fruits at one time would be too much for her to consume, and that it would be a pity if they went to waste, he spoke out to dissuade her, “Yunjin, perhaps don’t buy so many. If you really like these fruits and want to eat more, we can always come back and buy them later, don’t you think?”
Did she know what Gu Ya was concerned about?
He was afraid that she bought too much and would waste them.
“Husband, I have another use for these fruits. Don’t worry, I won’t waste them after buying them,” Su Yunjin said, smiling at Gu Ya with her eyes curving into crescents.
It seemed there really was a use for these fruits.
Hearing his young wife say this, Gu Ya did not persist any further. His young wife was a woman of ideas, and since she said she had a use for these fruits, Gu Ya let her be.
The uncle was overjoyed that Su Yunjin was really going to buy a whole basket, meaning he wouldn’t have to continue selling in the marketplace.
It was rare to encounter such a customer.
The uncle was very straightforward, “Young Madam, since you’re buying all of Uncle’s fruits in one go, I’ll give you a bit of a discount as well.”
“Uncle, how many catties of fruit are there?” Su Yunjin asked.
The basket weighed about fifty to sixty catties, and the uncle said, “Young Madam, there’s a bit over sixty catties here, but since you are buying so much at once, I’ll just charge you for sixty catties.”
“All right!” Su Yunjin negotiated the price with the uncle while Gu Ya was staring intently in another direction. Having bought the fruits, Su Yunjin turned around to look at Gu Ya and found him still staring in the same direction, seemingly lost in thought. What could he be looking at?
