BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1185: Really good at calculation
More and more people continued to purchase vegetables and meat from the shelves even bread and jam shelves were almost empty. As Li Wan and the rest looked at the long line that was standing in front of the payment counter, they were simply speechless.
Qiao Sha turned to look at Li Wan and asked, " Are you sure that you did not spill the beans in front of the officials? Why are they coming in such waves to buy the vegetables? How did the word spread all over the city?"
" I did not say a word about her shop and if there is someone who is supposed to be questioned about spilling the beans then it should be you," Li Wan rolled her eyes as she turned to look at the long line in front of her and then stated coldly, " The reason the sales of this mall is really good is because Yu Dong has already sold her vegetables earlier in the town as a test run.
She established her own little customer base before opening the mall. This is the reason why the entire mall is filled with customers."
Song Yixu nodded and then added, " Though I did tell a few customers about her mall, it was not to the point that the mall will be filled like this, looks like Yu Dong has her own fan base."
Seeing that the mall was making huge profits, neither of the three said anything. Qiao Sha glanced at her husbands who were talking with the official\'s husbands and her eyes darkened. She really wanted to talk to them but time was tight.
Because of the matter that happened at the Imperial City, there were more and more shadow guards trying to sneak inside the Big River City and it had put the safety of the commoners in jeopardy, she was not someone who would allow such a thing to happen which was why Qiao Sha was trying her best to regain the control of the security of the town.
It was just that with Xian Xieren trying to make things difficult for her it was proving impossible!
"Let us go back," said Qiao Sha reluctantly, she did not want to leave her husbands but there was nothing she could do, the reason she could come here was that her aide had taken control of the meeting for her, however she couldn\'t stay behind for long. She still needed to arrange guards for the entire city.
While the three of them left, Big Fatty took out the money that he brought with him and decided to buy the cheapest vegetable that was available in the mall, and that was a potato.
When Yu Cheng saw Big Fatty take out the money he could not help but say, " Xie Yin why are you spending money on these costly vegetables?"
Yu Cheng did not want to admit that anything that came from the hands of Yu Dong was good, thus when he saw his good friend buying the vegetables that were grown by Yu Dong, he could not help but stop him.
" Is there a problem?" Xie Yin questioned as he picked out the freshest batch of potatoes however after taking a look at the potatoes, he realized that he did not need to even take a look at them. He could just close his eyes and then pick up the potatoes as each piece was fresh!
He turned to look at Yu Cheng whose face was filled with dissatisfaction and said, " My mother is sick and she cannot eat anything because of her ailments. I can see that the vegetables sold here are really good which is why I want to send a few catties to my mother."
Xie Yin\'s mother was a merchant and she had once worked for the imperial family but then she caught a bitter ailment at the sea and never got better.
He did not have much hope but this was his goodwill toward his mother.
Yu Cheng snorted and then said, " You are being fooled, if vegetables can heal someone then what is the need for doctors and physicians?"
Though Xie Yin agreed with what Yu Cheng said, he had already picked up the potatoes that he wanted to purchase. He looked at Yu Cheng whose dissatisfaction only grew even further and then stated calmly, " Brother Cheng, I know that you think that this is a waste of money but this is my goodwill to my mother. I do not have much hope towards these anyway."
After he was done speaking he went over to the payment counter to pay for the two catties of potatoes leaving a disgruntled Yu Cheng behind who did not want to believe that there was anything good about Yu Dong\'s vegetables.
" Your bill is 45 taels and two cents, I will knock the two cents out,"
" Your Bill is 32 taels and ten cents. I will take only 32 taels."
" Please pay 14 taels,"
The one sitting at the counter was Yu Tong, she was used to counting sacks at the docks thus she was able to calculate the bills very easily, she did not even need the abacus that Yu Dong had made especially for the ones who were going to be responsible for counting the expenses made by the customers.
The customers thought that Yu Tong was only speaking nonsense but after thinking over the expense carefully while calculating in their heads when their turn was about to come, the customers realized that Yu Tong was indeed really good with the calculations!
" Boss, you are really good! You really know how to count the taels perfectly."
" Thats right, with your skills, you should be a scholar."
