Chapter 20 for Sale
The next morning, Xia Shiyu didn't rush to the market. She had already built up a customer base and wasn't in a hurry to grab business. She finished breakfast around 7 a.m. and then leisurely drove into the city.
First, I went to the supplier's place and left all the tomatoes there before heading to the market.
Otherwise, if customers see it, they might ask her to sell these to them.
Ye Wan and Tan Yue decided to use the tomatoes as their new dish for the day.
After putting down the tomato, Xia Shiyu declined the invitation to stay for a while. It was almost 9 o'clock, but she was really not in a hurry. She calmly drove to the entrance of the vegetable market. However, the moment she stopped the car, she felt a gaze directed at her. Xia Shiyu didn't care much. At first, she felt a little uneasy, but now she was used to it.
The other stall owners in the market stared at her silently, then exchanged glances, conveying a common thought.
This woman is here again!
During the time she was selling vegetables, the people in the market went through a mental journey from watching her make a fool of herself, to being shocked that she could actually sell them, to being envious of her true ability.
It's really heartbreaking to think about. Most of them who sell vegetables are just trying to earn a meager living. Seeing Xia Shiyu sell her vegetables so easily at such a high price makes them feel so envious.
Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do about her because she really has the ability. So most of them can only watch enviously, and some people who bought her food have to admit that it is indeed delicious.
Now I noticed a bright red patch in Xia Shiyu's truck bed and realized it was tomatoes. They've come up with a new dish! It must be delicious. Should I go buy some?
Xia Shiyu ignored the people's concerns and directly posted photos of her stall to the group, especially the delicious tomatoes.

[Everyone come and buy tomatoes! Fresh tomatoes are delicious whether eaten raw or used in soup!]
Wow, tomatoes! Great! This will make a wonderful soup.
[Great, I just brought it back to make three-delicacy rice noodles.]
[Boss, I'm coming right now, please make sure to save it for me!]
[Finally, some new items! I'm coming to buy them right now.]
Xia Shiyu forwarded the same message to two groups on her phone. The customers in the groups were very excited and showed their enthusiasm for buying. Soon, both groups had 99+ messages. Xia Shiyu calmly put her phone in her bag and waited quietly for the customers to come forward.
After waiting quietly for a while, a customer arrived. Xia Shiyu looked up and found that it was a young man who looked about the same age as her.
"Hey boss, I'm here to buy tomatoes," Han Zibin said, panting a couple of times. He had run all the way here.
While he was at home, a message popped up on his mother's WeChat group, so she sent him to buy tomatoes.
But he wasn't unhappy at all. Usually he would have been, but this time was different.
He had eaten the vegetables this owner sold before; his whole family would fight over them, and a plate of vegetables would be gone in no time. Now that the new dishes had arrived, he had to come and buy some to take home.
When Xia Shiyu saw him coming over, she stood up with a smile and said, "Sure, look, our tomatoes were picked just yesterday, they're very fresh, nine yuan a pound."
She had carefully considered the price and thought it was reasonable. Such delicious tomatoes deserved to be sold for so much money, but she couldn't sell them too expensively, otherwise customers would have concerns. So she thought about it and only added one yuan to the price of the vegetables she sold last time.
"Okay, then give me a bag, I'll pick them out myself."
Han Zibin took the transparent bag and began to select. He also felt that the price was a bit expensive, but thinking that the vegetables he bought last time were eight yuan per jin and tasted particularly good, he felt that the tomatoes he bought this time were worth nine yuan per jin.
We just need to be more careful in our selection.
He looked at them carefully. His mother had taught him some methods for choosing vegetables when he went out with her before, but now he had forgotten them all and could only choose based on his own feelings. The big and good-looking ones were his choices.
Fortunately, all the dishes here are delicious, so there's no need to be picky.
After he finished choosing, he handed it to Xia Shiyu. Xia Shiyu took it, weighed it, and said the price as she handed it back, "36 yuan, here you go."
Han Zibin took it, glanced at it, and went back. Xia Shiyu usually rounded down the amount when weighing guests, no matter how much it was, and would never shortchange them.
After selling this order, Xia Shiyu quickly received her second and third orders.
"Wow, boss, these tomatoes are really big! They look delicious."
"Yes, as expected of the boss, he's a real expert at growing vegetables."
"Yes, yes, I'll take it back and make some soup."
"That's the price, tsk tsk, 9 yuan per jin, I can only take a small amount, it's too expensive."
"It's very expensive; you could buy some fruit with that money." Although the two women were complaining, their hands were moving very quickly.
Xia Shiyu watched their actions with a smile, saying nothing else, but simply providing them with bags whenever they needed them.
The lively atmosphere here also attracted unknown customers. Meng Lian walked over and saw a group of elderly men and women enthusiastically selecting tomatoes, just like the elderly men and women she had seen scrambling for discounted eggs in the supermarket.
She was quite surprised. Was it because the tomatoes were cheap today? She went closer to take a look and saw a sign next to the tricycle that said 9 yuan per jin.
"What? It's so expensive, nine yuan."
Perhaps she was too shocked, her voice was a bit loud, and it attracted some attention.
The boss also looked at her, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said awkwardly, "I, I didn't mean to, I was just a little surprised."
Xia Shiyu smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, this is how I price it, but the quality of the tomatoes is definitely worth the price."
At this point, the regular customers nearby chimed in, "That's right, don't worry, all the dishes here at Boss Xia's are delicious, and these tomatoes are definitely worth it."
Hearing Xia Shiyu and the surrounding customers say this, Meng Lian felt less embarrassed and thought she could pick two to take home.
"Okay, I'll pick two too. These tomatoes do look pretty good."
However, due to the price, she only picked two, since they were both quite large anyway.
As expected, Xia Shiyu took the scale and immediately asked for 21, which meant that each tomato weighed more than a pound.
Meng Lian felt as if she could hear her heart breaking. As a thrifty person, she strictly controlled her family's daily grocery spending.
She rarely spends more than 30 yuan on groceries each day, but now two tomatoes cost her 20 yuan, which is really distressing for her.
But she was too embarrassed to say no, so she could only say take them home and try them out. Two tomatoes this big could make two meals if you use them sparingly.
So she reluctantly accepted the groceries, took them, and went home.
After she left, some of the remaining customers picked out a couple to try, while others were more extravagant and bought seven or eight, planning to enjoy them to their heart's content when they got home.
As noon approached, Xia Shiyu realized there were only a few tomatoes left in the truck bed. She thought she might as well just go home, but then a passerby saw her selling tomatoes and came over to buy two.
Lu Ming'an walked over and glanced at Xia Shiyu's tomatoes. Without paying attention to the price, he simply packed two and asked Xia Shiyu to pay.
"Boss, please calculate the money."
Xia Shiyu glanced at her pale and tired face, took the scale, weighed it, and handed it over.
"Hello, here are your tomatoes, 20 yuan."
Lu Ming'an operated his phone for a moment, then handed the payment page to Xia Shiyu for a quick glance, saying, "Payment is complete."
After saying that, she left in her high heels.
After selling two more tomatoes, Xia Shiyu rode his tricycle home.
