Rongrong

Chapter 26 Peacock Feather 7 End

Gao Li and Shuangshuang live an ordinary life.

Wu Zhou and Xu Yang returned to the Ice Region, and they lived on the snowfield as they wished, leading a happy life.

Chen Rong had been traveling for a year and felt that there was nothing fun to do, so one day she came to a small town called Xiangyang Town.

She stayed here for a few days. The people here were relatively wealthy and it felt pretty good, so she decided to settle down in Xiangyang Town.

He used the money he had earned from robbing other people over the years to buy a two-story teahouse that someone had transferred, and hired someone to renovate it.

There are not many fruits for sale here, so Chen Rong plans to sell some food and various fruits.

Take out a fixed amount of fruits to sell every day, and take a break after all the fruits are sold.

The second floor was renovated into a bedroom, and the first floor was simply decorated. Different areas were divided against the wall to place fruits and grains. A few tables and chairs were placed in the middle for resting and eating.

After the house was renovated, Chen Rong paid the workers, sent them away and closed the door.

Chen Rong went upstairs and looked around the bedroom. She took out the mattress, sheets, quilt and other things and laid them out. She then took out a lazy sofa and placed it by the window.

I also lay on it to try it out, it was soft and nice.

When I was hungry, I went to the space to eat and asked Xingyi to prepare some more sacks and weave some bamboo baskets.

After playing in the space for two days, Chen Rong slept until she woke up naturally and got up to eat.

I went downstairs and put out the ordinary grains and fruits in the space one by one, and put out the prepared sacks and bamboo baskets. The fruit shop was officially opened and named Grain and Fruit Garden.

People passing by on the street were curious when they saw the new store opening, so they all came over to join in the fun.

When people came in and saw the things being sold, they had never seen white rice, flour, and various juicy fruits.

The rice and flour are fine, they just look fuller, cleaner and whiter than what others sell, but the fruit is different.

Because the fruits in ancient times were not so plump and juicy, and they had never seen so many kinds of fruits.

Because of this, Chen Rong marked the prices relatively high. Rice and flour were all priced at one tael of silver for 100 jin. Various fruits were considered luxury items, priced at one tael of silver for ten jin.

Everyone asked: "Boss, what are these and how much do you sell them for?"

Chen Rong said with a smile: "Sir, what's sold over there is fine rice and fine flour. One tael of silver is one hundred kilograms. Over here are all kinds of fruits. Look! These fruits are all fine fruits. I believe you have never seen so many kinds. All of them are one tael of silver for ten kilograms. You can buy them together."

After that, explain to the guests how to eat various fruits, which ones can be eaten directly after washing, which ones can be peeled and eaten, which ones need to be peeled and eaten, and which ones cannot be eaten because of the core in the middle, etc.

Because it was summer now, Chen Rong took a watermelon, cut it into small pieces, and gave each person a small piece to taste.

After everyone had eaten, they nodded and said, "Not bad."

The people in this small town are relatively wealthy. Although they felt that the fruits were a little expensive, most of them took out one or two taels of silver and each bought ten kilograms of various fruits to share with their families.

Soon, the fruits were sold out, and only a few hundred kilograms of grain were sold, and those were bought by people who had more money than needed.

Chen Rong sent away some people who didn't buy fruit and asked them to come back tomorrow.

He turned around, closed the door, went upstairs and lay down for a while.

When I’m hungry, I go into the space and eat with Jiujiu, and then we watch TV series and read novels together.

I slept until noon the next day. It was already afternoon when I got up, washed, had breakfast and went downstairs. Chen Rong arranged the fruits one by one.

Then he opened the door and saw some people standing outside. One of them said, "Boss, you are finally open for business. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Others echoed him.

Chen Rong smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I forgot to tell you yesterday that our store will only be open in the afternoon from now on. Please come in the afternoon." Then she invited the customers to come in and buy fruits.

Business was also very good today, and the fruit was sold out quickly. In the next few days, the fruit was also sold out.

After a while, some people still couldn't buy it, so Chen Rong proposed limiting the purchase to 10 kilograms per person.

Days passed, Chen Rong slept until she woke up naturally, had lunch, opened the shop to sell fruits in the afternoon, and read novels and watched TV dramas after dinner in the evening.

Life was leisurely and comfortable. Sometimes I would take a break from work and go out riding to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

After playing enough, she would come back to sell fruits. The fruit business was very good, with many repeat customers. The customers didn’t want Chen Rong to go out to play, because if Chen Rong went out to play, they wouldn’t be able to buy fruit.

This year is the third year that Chen Rong has been selling fruits here. There are also some people with bad intentions in this town. Seeing that Chen Rong is alone, they ask a matchmaker to find a wife for him.

Chen Rong rejected the matchmaker and told her that she would not get married, but the matchmaker came to her house again and again. Chen Rong beat her up and threatened that if she came again, she would beat her up every time.

Then they found the family who had asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, beat them all up and gave them a warning.

Seeing how fierce Chen Rong was, the family became obedient.

After this incident, the matchmaker didn’t dare to come anymore, and Chen Rong returned to her peaceful life.

Chen Rong made her own desserts such as fruit salad, milk tea, and small cakes to sell, with a limit of 10 servings per day.

After having the meal, a few rich young ladies came to Chen Rong’s shop every day for afternoon tea. Gradually, Chen Rong’s relationship with these young ladies improved.

Chen Rong also got a set of mahjong and played with them when they came. At first, she took advantage of the fact that they didn't know how to play and won a lot of money from them.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Rong is already 60 years old. She has never married in this life, mainly because there are few handsome men in this world, and she doesn't like them and has no feelings for them. If she finds one, she feels unfree and it is inconvenient to use space, so she is too lazy to look for one.

Chen Rong simply wanted to be free and do whatever she wanted without any constraints.

That day, Chen Rong sold the teahouse and took the silver and money in her hand, preparing to go to the money shop to exchange them for gold.

Over the years, Chen Rong would go to the bank and exchange the money she earned from selling fruits for gold, and keep it in the space.

Chen Rong came to the bank slowly, took out the cloth bag filled with silver and handed it to the clerk, saying, "Help me change these silver into gold." The clerk took it and poured it out and counted it. After the clerk counted the silver, he said, "There are 500 taels of silver and 135 taels of silver in silver notes, a total of 635 taels of silver, is that right?" When the clerk saw Chen Rong nod, he put the silver away, stood up and walked to the back.

Chen Rong waited for a while, and then saw the clerk come out with a wooden box. He opened it and handed it to Chen Rong, saying, "Sir, the bank charges 5 taels of silver. This is 63 taels of gold. Please take a look."

Chen Rong took the gold handed over by the waiter, thanked him, turned around and left.

Chen Rong left the town and walked outside. She walked into an empty forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
