"Have you heard? There are many fresh cucumbers, spinach, spinach, and lentils in the East Market. It's really rare! "
"How is that possible? In the middle of winter, other than the tastemaker, where else would there be fresh vegetables? "
"It's true! Brother Meng, if you don't believe me then forget it! Anyway, I have to hurry and buy a catty of cucumbers! After a whole winter, I'm really craving for them! "
"Hey hey! Brother Zhou, wait for me! I'll go and buy some too! "
Within Chang 'an City, similar conversations were happening in every corner. Those who heard the news immediately rushed to the East Market.
"What? Cucumbers for six hundred copper coins per catty? In summer, the most expensive is only twenty copper coins! "
The crowd who came to watch the show couldn't help but be flabbergasted when they heard the price of the cucumbers.
"Cheh! You already said that it's summer! It's winter now. Have you seen cucumbers in winter? Six hundred copper coins is already very cheap! "
Immediately, someone who knew the industry refuted.
"Aren't these people from the Han Village? No! There are also people from the Plum Village and the Liujia Village! Oh my god! Why do they have so many cucumbers and vegetables ~? "
Although the 'spectators' couldn't afford it, there were still many who recognized the villagers who were busy selling vegetables and collecting money!
"No! Strictly speaking, they are all villagers under the Marquis of Yong 'an! Could it be that the Marquis of Yong 'an taught them to grow these vegetables ~? "
Someone thought of a very serious question and instantly attracted a round of exclamations.
"Oh my god! If that's really the case, then wouldn't the villagers under the Marquis of Yong 'an have completely struck it rich this time ~? "
"Sigh! Why don't I have the fate to become a villager under the Marquis of Yong 'an ~? "
These people were lamenting the good luck of the Han Village and the Plum Village while lamenting that they couldn't be in their place!
As for those farmers who came to sell their vegetables with baskets, they had already been surrounded by the servants of those rich families. They couldn't even win money!
"Hey! My master wants all the cucumbers you have here. Can you help me send them to my master's residence ~? "
A well-dressed manservant shouted at a villager.
The farmer wiped his sweat and said with some embarrassment, "Little Brother, if it were any other time, I would definitely help you deliver it. But as you can see, I can't leave at all!"
The manservant rolled his eyes and said, "Why can't you leave? Other than the cucumbers, bring the rest of the vegetables to the residence. My master wants them all! I definitely won't shortchange you! "
The villager thought about it, nodded, and said, "Heh! Alright then! Little brother, please lead the way! "
"No, no! What right do you have to buy all the vegetables by yourself? This big brother, don't go. My master is willing to pay twice the price to buy ten catties of cucumbers from you! "
Seeing that all of the farmer's vegetables were about to be 'snatched' by this manservant, someone at the side was immediately unwilling to do it!
"Ahem! Get out of the way! Let this old man buy first! This old man will pay three times the price! "
In the morning, Hu Hanyun and the others sold a batch of vegetables to Shopkeeper Liu at twenty times the original price. When the other farmers found out, they immediately raised the price of the vegetables to the rich people in Chang 'an by thirty times!
Their thoughts were extremely simple. In any case, the price they sold to the Immortal Indulgence Inn absolutely couldn't be higher than the price they sold to outsiders. In other words, the price they sold to outsiders absolutely couldn't be lower than the price they sold to the Immortal Indulgence Inn!
Since he sold it to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant at twenty times the original price, then if he sold it to someone else, he would sell it at thirty times the original price!
At first, they were a little nervous, but later, they found that even if the price was thirty times higher, it would still be immediately sold out. Moreover, there was a large number of people willing to buy at a higher price. The farmers happily counted their money while secretly rejoicing in their hearts. Fortunately, they had asked Li Zexuan about the price yesterday. Otherwise, if they foolishly came to Chang 'an to sell vegetables at five or six times the price, wouldn't they be "cheated" miserably by outsiders ~?
…
The momentum of the East Market's popularity gave the farmers a very sensational publicity for their cucumbers and vegetables. At the same time, the Immortal Indulgence Inn was busy "advertising" their vegetables and cucumbers!
"Cold cucumber salad, shepherd's purse fried lentils, vinegar spinach, chives scrambled eggs! Yo ~! Shopkeeper Liu, the Immortal Indulgence Inn is very capable! This old man heard that someone was selling cucumbers and vegetables in the East Market this morning. I didn't expect that you would have ready-made cucumbers and vegetables at noon! Sure enough, you didn't let me down! "
At noon, Feng Zhihua and a group of old customers came to the Immortal Indulgence Inn to "eat" and saw that there were several new dishes on the menu in the hall on the first floor. After looking at them, Feng Zhihua couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
When he heard the news in the morning, he immediately sent someone to the East Market to buy vegetables, but who knew that he was still a step late and didn't get anything. After all, Chang 'an City had a population of over a million, and there were countless rich people in it. Although there were many farmers who came to sell vegetables, there were still so many people who came to buy at the same time.
Therefore, Feng Zhihua, who didn't get any fresh vegetables, wanted to come to the Immortal Indulgence Inn to try his luck. He didn't expect that he would really come across it!
Since things had developed to this point, many people had already guessed that behind this group of farmers selling vegetables, it was very likely that Li Zexuan had taught them how to grow vegetables in winter. Feng Zhihua also thought so, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to come to the Immortal Indulgence Inn to try his luck!
"Hehe! Boss Feng, you flatter me! What do you want to eat today? "
Shopkeeper Liu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha as he greeted.
Feng Zhihua asked for the opinions of a few friends who came with him, then smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Liu to order all the new vegetables that were released today! To be honest, just thinking about these dishes makes this old man's mouth feel a little hungry! This winter, I'm really tired of eating meat and pickles! "
Although the price of each dish was indicated at the bottom of the menu, Feng Zhihua didn't look at the price from beginning to end. Now that he had status, status, and wealth, he was indifferent to money. No matter how expensive these dishes were, as long as they were delicious and made people happy, it was fine!
Shopkeeper Liu chuckled and said,
"Haha! Good! Ding San! Quickly serve Boss Feng to a seat! "
The market price of these greenhouse vegetables was about 30 times the price of the same type of vegetables in summer. After the Immortal Indulgence Inn's vegetables had undergone "secondary processing", the price naturally doubled or even more than the original price. For example, a plate of cucumber salad was actually sold as high as three strings of coins!
A moment later, all the dishes were served.
"Kaka ~!"
Feng Zhihua picked up a piece of cucumber salad with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew for a moment. Accompanied by a series of crunching sounds, the clear and sweet juice of the cucumber, mixed with the aroma of garlic and vinegar, instantly made all his taste buds active. He couldn't help but praise:
"Crispy and juicy, sweet and refreshing! It's been a long time since I've eaten such a refreshing cucumber! Moreover, the chef of this Immortal Indulgence Inn is amazing. A plate of cucumber can actually make such a delicious dish. It's really not a wasted trip! "
