She also inquired about the price, each small handful cost fifty cents. And each small handful only has seven or eight water spinach or seven or eight pieces of lettuce.

Li Qingxiu glanced at the two young men selling vegetables and complained in her heart: Bah! Black-hearted profiteer!

Qingfeng Li's face on the side was full of disappointment. "Sister, why aren't the bun shop and wonton stall open? The candied haws seller isn't here either."

Hearing this, Li Qingxiu glanced at Li Qingfeng, guessing that the little guy was so excited before and probably wanted to eat these three things. As a result, I didn't even get to eat it.

"No, there won't be. The food they make is not as delicious as Sister's. Wait until Sister goes back to cook it for you." After speaking, Li Qingxiu did not forget to touch Qingfeng Li's little yellow face. Tsk, it's meatless. The face is not easy to pinch at all.

When Li Qingfeng heard what his sister said, and considering the food for the past two days, he became happy again and nodded vigorously. "Okay, my sister's cooking is the most delicious."

Li Qingxiu raised the corners of her mouth happily, this little guy is quite good at flattering.

At this time, two men in uniforms passed by the siblings carrying half a basket of water spinach and lettuce.

"Although I say let's do the dishes today, I can still cope with it."

"Yes, but if these two kinds of vegetables can be more tender, then I guess the young master will reward them more."

Li Qingxiu narrowed her eyes when she heard this, hey hey hey! She finally knew how to complete the task.

She quickly turned around and called to the two servants. "Boys, wait a minute!"

The two servants looked at each other and turned around to look at Li Qingxiu in confusion: "Little girl, are you calling us?"

"Yes, two little brothers, I just heard you say you want to buy juicy vegetables. I have them here, do you want them? After speaking, Li Qingxiu used the bamboo basket as a cover and took out the baby cabbage from the storage compartment. .

The two servants' eyes flashed brightly when they saw the baby cabbage in Li Qingxiu's hand.

One of the servants rolled his eyes and said: "Well, this cabbage looks quite juicy. But it is too small. This is the first time I have seen such a small cabbage. Could it be that you put it before it is ripe?" Just pick it. How delicious can such a dish be?"

Another servant looked at what the siblings were wearing, with a hint of disgust in his eyes. "That's right, you picked this vegetable before it has grown up. It will definitely not taste good. If we buy it back, the young master will definitely punish us."

"What the two boys don't know is that this dish is not our common Chinese cabbage. This is a new variety called baby cabbage. This kind of vegetable is sweeter and more delicious than Chinese cabbage. It can even be eaten raw. , If you don’t believe me, you can try it.” After Li Qingxiu said this, he broke off a leaf, folded it in half, and handed it to the two servants.

Both servants were a little afraid to eat. Who knew if there would be any harm if they ate it?

Li Qingxiu naturally knew what they were thinking. He tore off a small piece of green vegetables and threw it into his mouth. She also looked very delicious and satisfied.

Qingfeng Li was dumbfounded. "Sister, why are you selling this cabbage that is so delicious? Didn't you say you would make it for me to eat at noon?"

Li Qingxiu touched Qingfeng Li's head and said helplessly: "Brother, this dish is delicious, but we need more money. Look, how tattered are your clothes?"

One of the servants was more courageous. When he saw that Li Qingxiu had no problem eating it, he tore a piece of vegetable leaf and put it into his mouth.

It was indeed crisp and sweet, and he couldn't help but tear off a piece and throw it into his mouth, and said to Li Qingxiu: "Well, not bad, it is indeed much sweeter than Chinese cabbage."

Seeing this, another servant couldn't help but eat a piece. While eating, he asked, "This is cabbage. It's delicious. Little girl, do you only have one cabbage?"

Li Qingxiu looked at the cabbage with very reluctant eyes. "Yes, this is an exotic species. It's such a dry weather. Our family saved water to grow such a tree."

The servant didn't say anything after hearing this. Another one asked, "Besides eating your cabbage raw, do you have any other special methods?"

Li Qingxiu said with a smile: "This kind of cabbage stir-fried with garlic and lard is particularly fragrant, or the soup is also very sweet."

"Okay, we'll buy it, you give us a price." The braver servant thought for a while and said.

Li Qingxiu showed an innocent and harmless look and stretched out two fingers. "Two taels!"

"Two taels?! Girl, you might as well grab it faster." The bold servant looked at Li Qingxiu in disbelief.

Another servant looked at Li Qingxiu with disdain and said, "You girl is really evil. Do you think your cabbage is inlaid with gold?"

Li Qingxiu was a little upset by what he said. "Hey, buying and selling is about your own free will. I'm not forcing you to buy it. It's up to you to buy it or not!"

"If you don't buy it, I'll find other customers. For example, the restaurant in front. After selling it to the shopkeeper, it's not impossible for him to sell it for more than ten times. Besides, you bought my unique cabbage and presented it to your master. If you ask for credit, the reward might be several times that of two taels."

After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, he put the baby cabbage back into the bamboo basket as if he was about to leave.

Seeing that Li Qingxiu was about to leave, the brave servant quickly stopped her and said, "Hey, little girl, please wait a minute." He felt that what the little girl said made sense, so he unconsciously called the little girl little girl.

Li Qingxiu curled her lips and turned around reluctantly. "What are you doing? I'm a black-hearted little girl."

Another servant was actually moved when he heard Li Qingxiu's last few words. But it is absolutely impossible for him to lose face and apologize now. So he turned his face away from Li Qingxiu.

Li Qingxiu also felt that what he said made sense. Why didn't he go to a big restaurant? Forget it, time is limited, it’s not bad to sell to them here. After all, one baby cabbage can be sold for two taels, which is a sky-high price.

Suddenly it occurred to me that just now I had called the two young men selling vegetables as evil profiteers, but in the blink of an eye I was selling a baby cabbage for two taels. Wouldn’t that be completely unconscionable?

When the bold servant saw that Li Qingxiu remained silent, he said, "Little girl, can't it be cheaper?"

"No, these two taels are our living expenses for a year. Don't you know that not only can we not plant the land, we are almost out of water to drink. We don't have the protection of our masters like you." Li Qingxiu said pitifully. His eyes were still a little red.

When the two servants heard this, they were too embarrassed to bargain again. Finally, the servant gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll buy it!" After saying that, he took out two taels from his purse. "Here, here are two taels."

When Li Qingxiu saw that they were finally willing to buy, a smile appeared on her face. He took out the baby cabbage from the bamboo basket and handed it to them before taking the money.
