Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"They're kiwi and tomatoes. Tomatoes are called wolfberries here." Xia Yingying explained to Liu Qingyao.

"That's great. The only fruits I've eaten here are apples, pears, and other common fruits, but I've never seen kiwis and tomatoes. Just give me kiwis, but I don't want tomatoes. I don't like tomatoes." Liu Qingyao said to Xia Yingying.

"Okay." Xia Yingying agreed.

"No matter how you buy three boats of fruits, kiwis and tomatoes won't last long, and there's no modern preservation technology here. They will all rot in half a month at most. Do you think you make too much money selling cakes? If you think you make too much money from cakes, you can give me some. I don't mind at all." Liu Qingyao said jokingly to Xia Yingying.

After hearing what Liu Qingyao said, Xia Yingying knew that Liu Qingyao was worried about her, so she said that to her.

"Making cakes is one part of it, but because there are so many fruits, I plan to sell some fresh ones. The rest will all be dried, so they can be stored. I can keep some fruits for making cakes."

Xia Yingying said this to Liu Qingyao.

"Let's go up to the second floor. There's tea there. I'm afraid the people who are going there are still on their way to the dock to pick up fruit and they'll have to wait a while. Let's go up to the second floor and have some tea while we chat."

"Yeah." Liu Qingyao and Xia Yingying held hands and went up to the second floor.

Lu Ziren was sitting on the second floor. Although it was a little far from the first floor, he used his inner strength to stop the conversation between Xia Yingying and Liu Qingyao without missing a word.

Lu Ziren thought, there was one more person who knew how to compete with him for Xia Yingying.

"Madam, the general is here too, and is still on the second floor." Xinxin, Xiang Rong said to Xia Yingying.

The two girls also felt sorry for Lu Ziren. Even though they were outsiders, they knew that Lu Ziren was possessive of Xia Yingying and he definitely didn't want their world of two to be disturbed by others, so they had the courage to remind Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying was slightly stunned, then nodded, saying that she understood, and took Liu Qingyao directly to the second floor.

"Will it be a bad idea if I go upstairs? That general must have come to the pastry shop on purpose to wait for you. I didn't expect that you two have such a good relationship." Liu Qingyao wanted to tease Xia Yingying while talking, but Xia Yingying just smiled.

"It's okay, let's go upstairs and talk about our own thing. He can sit there and do whatever he wants. It won't affect him." Xia Yingying said to Liu Qingyao.

Liu Qingyao originally wanted to leave. She didn't want to be a light bulb sitting there and poking her eyes.

But she also wanted to chat with Xia Yingying for a while. Besides, she hadn’t got the fruit yet. If she left now, she would have to walk back later. She didn’t have the energy to do that.

If I ask the people in the store to deliver it to her, it would really delay their business.

Liu Qingyao didn't hesitate and followed Xia Yingying up to the second floor. When she got upstairs, she saw Lu Ziren sitting in the tea room.

But there were actually not many people in the reception room on the second floor, so Xia Yingying took Liu Qingyao to sit there and started chatting with her.

During the chat, Xia Yingying told Liu Qingyao in detail how she got the kiwi and tomato. After hearing this, Liu Qingyao only admired Xia Yingying even more.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good business sense. If you had done this before, you would definitely have become a rich man." Liu Qingyao said to Xia Yingying, but Xia Yingying shook her head modestly.

"I can't guarantee that. I think it's this era that gives me this opportunity. If it were in modern times, you know the competition is fierce and I might not have a chance to succeed." Xia Yingying knows that she is just taking advantage of the information gap to make money.

Not long after the servant left, he came back with some fruit.

Others who heard Xia Yingying say that the store would sell fresh fruits today also ran into the store out of curiosity to watch, and a long line had already formed.

When the fruits were delivered, everyone gathered around the carriage to look at the fruits. Some people in the capital had also eaten kiwis and tomatoes, and they looked at the fruits and said.

"Isn't this what the fruit shop in Qilin Lane used to sell? I thought I couldn't eat it this year, but I didn't expect a cake shop to actually sell it."

"That's not the case. I heard that the fruit shop won't sell this fruit anymore due to some problems. I don't know how the lady boss bought this fruit.

My daughter loves to eat kiwi fruit, so I will buy more when the time comes."

When the fruits were placed in the big basin in front of the door, some people couldn't wait to ask about the price.

"How much is this fruit per pound?"

"This fruit is more expensive than ordinary apples and pears, about 15 cents per pound." said someone who has bought it.

"It's so expensive. You can buy a pound of fat meat for 15 cents. I'll go back and make lard."

"Can't it be cheaper?" Some people were discouraged by the price.

"Because the fruits are new today, our kiwifruit is two cents less today, selling at thirteen cents per pound. From now on, it will be fifteen cents."

Xinxin explained on the side.

"This is already very cheap. Previously, this kind of fruit in that store cost 20 yuan per pound."

“That’s expensive.”

"That's not true."

Soon, the news that a cake shop was selling cheap kiwis and wolfberries spread throughout the capital, and other ordinary families would definitely seize the opportunity to try the fruit because it was so much cheaper than before.

As a result, the queue for selling fruits was like a winding snake.

The number of people buying fruit far exceeded Xia Yingying's expectations. The fruits that the servant brought were all picked up in a short time. As for the remaining ones that were not of good quality, Xia Yingying had them take aside and sell them at a lower price.

The men in the kitchen also joined the team to move the fruits. Because this was another job, Xia Yingying had someone pay each of them an additional salary.

"Yingying, your fruit is so popular. I also want such a hot business so that I can make a lot of money."

Liu Qingyao looked at the long queue with an envious look.

"There are a lot of people who go to watch you perform. I also envy you for being able to shine on the stage and do your own thing." Liu Qingyao was also blushing with Xia Yingying's praise.

Because there were so many people buying fruit, Liu Qingyao did not go downstairs to buy at this time. If she went downstairs, she would have to wait in a long line. If she went through the back door, people would not have time to pay attention to her.

Xia Yingying and Liu Qingyao were chatting about some things in modern times. They lowered their voices, but even so, Lu Ziren could hear them.

"Oh, what a pity! The movie I've been looking forward to for a long time is about to premiere, but I haven't seen it yet..."

"Me too, I saved all my money by living frugally, and I haven't touched the money in my bank card..."

……

The two talked about their regrets in another world.

"By the way, have you finished writing your storybook? If you have, can you let me see it?" Liu Qingyao suggested.

"It's almost finished, but I've been busy these days, so the progress is a bit slow." Xia Yingying also felt that it was a bit slow.

"I've written the first one and I'll show it to you."

"Okay, then I'll wait. Who knows, you might become a best-selling author." Liu Qingyao said.

The queue downstairs still hasn't gotten shorter, because word has spread from person to person, and everyone knows that the fruit is cheap today, so they rush to buy it.

Liu Qingyao couldn't wait to get it, so Xia Yingying asked someone to bring the fruit to Liu Qingyao from the back, and then said goodbye to Liu Qingyao.

Xia Yingying then remembered that she seemed to have left Lu Ziren aside again... "Please vote"
