During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

The original owner must have had their head stuck in a latrine to have taken a liking to such a pile of shit!

Before Fang Jincheng could finish speaking, he was silenced by an impatient glare from the local gentry.

Did I give you permission to speak?

Yesterday I bought some vegetables and immediately sent them to the Chen family in the county. The old master of the Chen family loved this fresh and tender food and was extremely surprised.

She was so happy at the time that she gave him a huge favor, and he was extremely grateful to Ye Qingqing!

The local gentry sneered and raised his voice,

"Miss Ye's wild vegetables are a rare treasure in winter!"

Yesterday I offered one tael of silver per catty, and the manager of Fushunlou Restaurant was even trying to take it from me. But this Miss Ye's dish, I think it's worth it. What do you say?"

Fang Jincheng's heart pounded like a drum.

Did he hear that right?

One tael of silver per pound?!

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. He felt that Ye Qingqing had hired Tuo'er to humiliate him, and he pointed at Ye Qingqing and roared.

"How could wild vegetables possibly sell for one tael of silver per pound? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Just then, the manager of Fushunlou Restaurant came out upon hearing the commotion, gave a disdainful snort, and said sarcastically,

"Are you stupid? Are we stupid? Can you afford it or not? If you can't, get lost and stop getting in the way!"

He was already regretting not being able to rob that rich man yesterday, and he's been looking forward to seeing Ye Qingqing since early this morning.

Upon seeing Ye Qingqing, his eyes lit up and he quickly came out to speak, only to run into such a clueless fellow.

Fang Jincheng trembled and immediately dared not speak.

He could work himself to the bone for a month, keeping accounts for his employer, and still not earn half a tael of silver!

That brat Ye Qingqing can earn an ounce from selling a pound of wild vegetables?

Why doesn't she just rob it!

"If you can't afford it, then get out of here!"

The shopkeeper, all smiles, completely ignored Fang Jincheng standing to the side and warmly approached him to strike up a conversation.

"Qingqing, you've finally arrived! The dishes we ordered yesterday were gone in a flash, and all the guests are still talking about them!"

We've known each other for a long time, so you can't embarrass me today. Give me some extra money!

Ye Qingqing raised her hand and smiled faintly.

"The shopkeeper has been very kind to me in the past, and I remember it well. Please give me as many dishes as you like today."

Today we have enough vegetables; after delivering them to the families who placed orders, we still have several dozen kilograms left over.

"What do you mean by 'how many'? I want them all!"

The shopkeeper slammed his hand on the carriage, fearing it would be stolen again, and hurriedly shouted, "Someone, take the vegetables back..."

"Wait!"

A plump man dressed in a brocade fur coat strode over with several servants.

"Boss!"

Fang Jincheng's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed to greet him, surrounded by a retinue of people, "Why did you come out of the manor on such a cold day? Just tell me what you need..."

This person is none other than the master of the house that Fang Jincheng is currently serving, Master Qian.

Yesterday, Master Qian went to Fushunlou Restaurant for a banquet and ate a plate of shepherd's purse stir-fried with eggs.

Good heavens, it was so fresh he almost swallowed his tongue!

As soon as he left the banquet, he started thinking about the discount. He asked around and found out the price was two taels of silver per plate!

Two taels of silver was nothing to him, after all, he owned several estates and seven or eight shops.

But this tender vegetable in the dead of winter was the first time he had ever eaten it in his more than forty years of life!

Having learned that the vegetables were bought from a girl named Ye Qingqing, he brought silver notes today, determined to order a batch no matter what.

There are thirty or forty people in the family. The old master and matriarch are tired of eating meat and fish every day. If we make vegetarian dishes, they complain that radishes and cabbage are bland.

They were even tired of eating leeks grown in greenhouses, so the old folks would be overjoyed to be able to buy fresh wild vegetables.

His three brothers all coveted the old couple's property, and he was determined to be the most filial son!

"You must be Miss Ye Qingqing?"

The servant beside Master Qian pushed Fang Jincheng aside, and Master Qian himself didn't even bother to glance at him. He just stared intently at Ye Qingqing, completely ignoring the fawning and obsequious manner of some people.

Fang Jincheng, a servant, is not even worthy of his attention.

"Exactly."

Ye Qingqing nodded and asked politely, "Uncle, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Qian... Miss, don't give these wild vegetables to anyone else, I, Qian, want them!"

"No matter the amount, I'll buy it all, even if it's only one tael of silver per pound! Also, I need to order another hundred pounds; when can you deliver them?"

Master Qian looked at her with admiration, raised his chin, and spoke in a loud, clear voice, full of energy and showing his wealth and power!

Fang Jincheng stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.

One tael of silver per pound?

All-inclusive?

Another 100 jin (50 kg) ordered?

He had just mocked Ye Qingqing for being a country girl who sold wild vegetables and no one wanted her... But now things are different. The owner of Fushunlou Restaurant is scrambling to buy her wild vegetables, and Master Qian is eager to buy them, even offering an exorbitant price of one tael of silver per catty!

How much does he earn in a month?

Ye Qingqing earns the equivalent of two months' salary from selling just one pound of wild vegetables!

Ye Qingqing glanced at the manager of Fushunlou Restaurant.

"This... I'm sorry, Uncle, you're a little late. I've already promised to give this batch of vegetables to the manager of Fushunlou Restaurant."

How about tomorrow?

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The shopkeeper, whose heart had been pounding with anxiety, instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a face full of gratitude,

"Please forgive me, Master Qian, it's not that I'm being disrespectful to you, but this batch of vegetables was truly ordered for me first..."

Master Qian frowned, his expression showing some displeasure.

But since both parties had already made the arrangements, and he was indeed a step late, there was no reason for him to be angry.

But he was unhappy, so he glanced at Fang Jincheng beside him and frowned.

"Fang, why aren't you busy in the shop? What are you doing here?"

"Did I give you the money from a month ago so you could come out and fish in troubled waters?"

"No, no, boss, I..."

Fang Jincheng's face flushed red and then turned pale, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word.

"cut……"

Ye Qingqing scoffed dismissively, "So, Accountant Fang snuck out! I knew it, he's got nothing better to do!"

"Shut up!"

Fang Jincheng glared at her through gritted teeth, looking at her face with a faint mocking smile, and felt a burning pain on his face.

It felt as if someone had slapped me hard across the face more than a dozen times.

Ye Qingqing slowly patted the hem of her clothes, looked at Fang Jincheng, and spoke in a clear voice that reached everyone's ears, though not loud.

"Accountant Fang, it seems your master has good judgment. Unlike some people who are so heartless, trying to rip people off!"

Master Qian, you have no idea, this man almost ruined my family and drove me to jump into the river to commit suicide!

Now that I'm better, he's come back to cause trouble for me...

Not to be nosy, but you know, a small leak can sink a great ship. With your large and powerful family business, you'd better be discerning when hiring!

Ye Dazhuang raised his hand to cover his nose, unable to suppress a smile.

This girl keeps saying she was tricked, but she doesn't realize that when she tricks people, she's incredibly ruthless!
