Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains
Chapter 305: The pain, I also bought a dragon fruit
Xia Yingying took the pineapple slices handed to her by the vendor.
The vendor had just cut pineapple chunks, but they were eaten too quickly.
There are many people in Xia Yingying's family. If each person gets one piece, they can't eat many pieces to appreciate the flavor. They can't even taste the flavor, just like Zhu Bajie swallowing the ginseng fruit whole.
Better to slice it.
In order to make it easier to eat the pineapple, Xia Yingying asked the vendor for a few toothpicks. Xia Yingying used the toothpicks to pick up the pineapple and passed them to Song Ruyi, Lu Haojie, Lu Haoran, Lu Yuwei, and the two bodyguards, and she also ate a piece herself.
The pineapple was a bit hard and Lu Yuwei's little teeth couldn't chew it. Xia Yingying was also worried that it would be unsafe for her to eat and that something would get choked on her, so she didn't give it to her.
The two bodyguards' names are Zhang Chi and Xu Kai.
When Xia Yingying handed them the fruit, they were both a little bit incredulous.
Although they were soldiers serving in the military camp before, they have now retired.
No matter how glorious the past was, it is not worth mentioning. The present is the real place to survive. They come here to work hard, and they know their identity.
They had just heard about the price of this fruit. One piece cost 50 taels of silver. All the money was real gold and silver. They did not even get that much money while serving in the military camp, and they did not expect Xia Yingying to give them some to taste.
So they were stunned when Xia Yingying handed them the pineapple.
Before Zhang Chi and Xu Kai had time to refuse, Xia Yingying had already put the sliced pineapple in their hands.
"Madam, this..." Zhang Chixu's hands trembled, and his voice trembled as well.
"Try it and see if it tastes good." Xia Yingying said kindly.
Zhang Chi and Xu Kai finally took the pineapple without saying anything.
Lu Yurou looked with her bright little eyes at her grandmother, mother, brothers and sisters, all of whom were holding yellow and fragrant fruits. She didn't have any, and she wanted some too.
So Lu Yurou stretched out her hand and begged, "Mom, I want it."
Seeing Lu Yurou like this, Xia Yingying had no choice but to give Lu Yurou a small piece of softer pineapple and said to her, "You have to chew it slowly, got it?"
Now Lu Yurou can eat some rice porridge, fruits and the like. Xia Yingying sometimes gives them to Lu Yurou, but the prerequisite is that the fruit flesh must be soft, Xia Yingying will give it to Lu Yurou.
Now the outermost part of the pineapple was soft, so Xia Yingying bit off the inner part and left the soft part for Lu Yurou to eat.
After Lu Yurou took the fragrant pineapple that Xia Yingying handed to her, Lu Yurou kept chewing it carefully with her little baby teeth.
But pineapple was too sour for Lu Yurou, who had never eaten it before. As soon as Lu Yurou took a bite of the pineapple, she started to cry because of the sourness and she vomited it out immediately.
Lu Yuwei, Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie and Song Ruyi did not react that strongly. Lu Yuwei and Song Ruyi still had a strong liking for pineapples, except for Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie. They felt that this fragrant pineapple was not as delicious as they had imagined. It was hard and the taste was not good at all.
After Lu Yurou spit out the pineapple, Xia Yingying took a candy from her purse and passed it to Lu Yurou.
The frown on Lu Yurou's face slowly relaxed.
After the vendor cut the pineapple for Xia Yingying, he pointed to the dragon fruit next to him and asked Xia Yingying.
"Madam, do you still want to buy this Overlord Flower?"
Queen of Flower?
It turns out that this is the name of the dragon fruit here.
However, dragon fruit does look like a bunch of flowers, but the name is too domineering. Xia Yingying only knows about creatures like Tyrannosaurus Rex, and has never heard of a fruit called the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Excuse me, how much is this one?" Xia Yingying pointed at the dragon fruit and asked the vendor.
Given the high price of pineapples, Xia Yingying didn't have high expectations for the dragon fruit.
When the vendor heard Xia Yingying asking about the price, he immediately smiled and quickly replied, "My dear, you have already bought two fruits from me. I will sell this one to you at a lower price. I usually sell it for 50 taels each, but today I will sell it to you for 48 taels. What do you think?"
Xia Yingying was so angry that she laughed at the price.
At this price, eating two fruits would cost as much as a house. Even if Xia Yingying was greedy, she couldn't let her desires do evil.
"No, we've already bought two pineapples, and now we need to take a break."
The dragon fruit looked bright in color, but Lu Yuwei and Lu Yurou had never seen it before, so they stared at it intently. Xia Yingying didn't like it very much.
"Arou, Xiaowei has already bought two pineapples today. Our family has spent a lot of money on them. Can we not buy the dragon fruit today?"
Xia Yingying discussed the matter with the children.
Lu Yuwei nodded heavily.
The main reason is that Xia Yingying has already been extravagant, and she really doesn't want to continue. She is afraid that after spending money, her greed will be aroused and there will be no end to it. What's more, the children will be corrupted by her.
"Mom, I know our family's financial situation is not yet at the point where we can buy whatever we want to eat."
Lu Yuwei was afraid that Xia Yingying would want to say too much to Xia Yingying.
When Xia Yingying heard Lu Yuwei say this, she felt a little choked up.
According to the current economic conditions, it is possible to buy them for the children, but even if you have money, you can't spend it like this, especially since they are just food.
You can spend 100 taels to buy something to try.
Xia Yingying regretted buying two pineapples at once. It would have been much better if she had bought one pineapple and one dragon fruit.
Now they don't have to spend extra money to buy dragon fruit. There are six people in their family now, so one dragon fruit should be enough. Each person can have a piece to satisfy their cravings.
It was simply not enough to satisfy her craving. Xia Yingying had to spend 200 taels of silver, which was equivalent to a store. She earned two months' worth of money in Qingshui County. Just for a few fruits. Xia Yingying's heart was bleeding.
But now that it has been cut open, there is no way to go back.
Fortunately, we only sell these two kinds of fruits now. The children have never eaten them, so they bought one to try.
"Then give me one." Xia Yingying pointed at the dragon fruit.
The main thing is that the children want to eat it, but it doesn’t matter whether Xia Yingying eats it or not, she doesn’t really like dragon fruit.
Xiaofen originally thought that Xia Yingying would buy two, but she didn't expect that she would only buy one. Xiaofen was a little unsure when she asked Xia Yingying again. She was afraid that Xia Yingying had said something wrong: "Madam, are you sure you want one?"
"Yes, I want one. The main reason is that this fruit is so expensive. If I lived in the place where I used to live, 200 taels of silver could have bought two houses." Xia Yingying couldn't help but say to the vendor.
After hearing what Xia Yingying said, the vendor didn't know how to respond. It was true that the fruit was expensive, but the transportation cost was high. If it wasn't sold at such a high price, it wouldn't be able to make back the money, and he had no choice.
"My lady, you said it's expensive. We can only make a little money here. Giving you two taels less is already very good. If it's less, I'm afraid I can't even make back my capital. My lady, don't worry, the price I give you is the fair price in the market. No matter where you go in the future, I will always give you the cheapest price. If it's too expensive, come to me for a refund. This fruit is brought back from abroad. No one in Daliang grows it, and we don't know how to grow it, so it's so expensive. There's nothing we can do about it. If this fruit is like peaches and plums, it doesn't have to be so expensive."
What the vendor said was true, but it also reminded Xia Yingying that she wondered if she could exchange fruit seeds in her space and plant them in her space so that she could eat fruit freely.
Although Xia Yingying now lives in Beijing and her life is much more convenient, there are still many vegetables and fruits that cannot be eaten in Daliang. There are many things that Xia Yingying likes but cannot eat here, which is really uncomfortable.
"Just give me one, did you just say 48 pairs?" "Please vote"
