Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous
Chapter 24: The Golden Cauldron (4)
It was the next day, and this time Ye Luo pushed out all the honeydew melons that he had not brought from the previous batch, as well as the new batch of honeydew melons that had been planted in the fields.
The entrance of "Wanmin Hall" was crowded with people early in the morning, just to wait for the earliest and freshest batch of melons.
As expected, before Ye Luo could reach the door, he was blocked by the swarm of people and could not move forward. He could only move towards the "Tall of All Peoples" little by little, moving at a snail's pace while selling melons at the same time.
Dongsheng, the owner of "Rongfa Shop", has his shop right next to "Wanmin Hall". On weekdays, the two shops run different businesses and do not interfere with each other's business.
But ever since Ye Luo set up a stall in the "Tang of All People", almost all the people in Liyue Harbor were attracted by the fresh and cheap honeydew melons, and the people who went to the "Rongfa Shop" to buy things almost disappeared overnight. Only a few people who were buying vegetables would come to the stall to take a look and praise Ye Luo.
On weekdays, the only person with whom he was in fierce business competition was Bo Lai, the owner of the "Wan You Shop".
According to Bo Lai, "It hurts more to see Dongsheng making money than to lose money myself."
But in just a few days, the businesses of both of them were snatched away by Ye Luo at the same time, which made it rare for the two who had never gotten along well to sit together and discuss things.
The two sat opposite each other at an outdoor table on the second floor of the "Yan Shang Tea House" and toasted each other with a cup of tea.
"Brother Bolai, this Ye Luo got this kind of melon from somewhere, it's called honey melon, but it caused quite a stir, you know."
"Brother Dongsheng, there is no need to say more. If it weren't for Ye Luo, we two wouldn't be able to get together like this to discuss the same thing."
Dongsheng knocked the cup on the table and sighed: "He set up a stall in front of the Wanmin Hall, just a few steps away from me, but since he set up the stall, my business has been completely gone, and even fewer people come to buy vegetables from me."
Bo Lai was even more distressed: "You are fine. At least your Rongfa Store, in addition to selling fruits and vegetables, also sells some condiments, so it still makes money."
"Look at me. The name of the 'Everything Shop' is 'Everything', but I actually only sell four kinds of things: apples, sunset fruit, fish and conch."
"Everyone goes to buy fish from Lao Gao, and I accept it. After all, he is a fisherman, and his fish are fresher than mine. But this time, as soon as Ye Luo's honeydew melons appeared, they attracted everyone away. My apples and sunset fruits are going bad and I can't sell them at all."
The two sighed to each other, and Dongsheng said, "That's right. He just moved to Liyue Harbor and helped solve a major fraud case. Now he is a well-known figure in Liyue's General Affairs Department. His neighbors also think he is a young hero. In addition, the things he sells are really rare, and most importantly, they are sold at a low price."
Bo Lai said helplessly: "He has taken all the good reputation, and we are suffering so much that we can't say anything."
After discussing for a long time, the two of them just drank tea in silence and no results were discussed.
At this time, a dull and hoarse voice came from the branch of the big tree next to the "Yanshang Tea House".
"You two, are you dissatisfied with Ye Luo?"
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a solemn, sickly-looking young man with purple eye sockets, a pale face, and long bangs covering one eye. He was wearing a green robe and was sitting on a tree, leaning on a big sword, looking at them.
The look in his eyes was icy cold, as if containing frost.
The two looked at each other and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man replied indifferently: "I am a lonely ship, setting sail on the vast ocean..."
One sentence made both bosses confused: "You are a... ship?"
"My name is not important at all. What is important is that I heard the person you are talking about, and I am sure that this person is not a good person."
The two of them quickly said, "That's not the case. At most, it has affected our business. But he is a real young man with chivalrous spirit and a good man who has done real things for Liyue Harbor."
The young man smiled grimly: "I have heard your conversation a long time ago. He is monopolizing and destroying the market of other merchants, right?"
The two bosses looked at his terrifying face and saw this terrifying smile again, and they were instantly horrified and their hair stood on end.
"We still have business in our store, so we won't stay any longer. Goodbye!"
Dongsheng and Bolai left the "Yanshang Tea House" in a hurry. Before leaving, they did not forget to notify the two guards at the door, Ji and Ya.
But when the two guards went upstairs to see, they only saw a branch trembling in the wind. As for the scary man with a knife, he was nowhere to be seen at all.
Ye Luo's business was booming. Before noon, he had sold out most of his goods. The goods Ye Luo brought could never match the overwhelming enthusiasm of the people of Liyue Harbor.
The noise slowly stopped until the mysterious young man, dragging the big sword with a red back and a silver blade, staggered closer step by step.
Everyone unconsciously made way for this person. Perhaps it was because of his cold aura that kept strangers away.
No one in Liyue Harbor knew him, and seeing his ferocious look, they dared not approach him.
When the crowd made way, Ye Luo and Xiang Ling saw him at a glance.
Xiangling was puzzled: "Do you know him? I saw him staring at you."
Ye Luo was also confused: "Of course I don't know him, I thought he knew you."
Guoba was mumbling something beside him, but Ye Luo couldn't understand.
The young man raised his head, revealing a pale and miserable face, like the face of a hanged ghost, which scared Ye Luo a lot.
"My dear brother, you have such an imposing manner that it is really intimidating to see you. What can I do for you?"
The young man glanced around the stalls, then raised his eyes and stared at Ye Luo: "You... are Ye Luo?"
Ye Luo bowed and said, "Your Excellency recognizes me, but I haven't asked for your name yet?"
The young man snorted coldly: "I am a lonely ship..."
Ye Luo was puzzled, but he opened his mouth but unconsciously followed the young man's introduction and sang: "Raised the sail on the vast ocean?"
The young man asked, "Have you heard my self-introduction?"
Ye Luo shook his head vigorously: "I haven't heard of it, but from your introduction, I seem to hear the folk songs of my hometown..."
"Hey, buddy, how much is this melon per pound?"
Ye Luo smiled and said, "So you're here to buy melons. 600 Mora per pound."
The young man spoke before he finished listening: "Your melon rind is gold... Wait a minute, it's really not expensive..."
Ye Luo replied calmly: "Small profits but quick turnover, just to make sure everyone in Liyue Harbor can eat affordable melons!"
"Does your melon stay ripe?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Something is wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong..."
