After being exiled, she married a rough man, and the sickly beauty was spoiled
Chapter 94 Farewell
Qingyuan County.
Li Meng and Jiang Huaizhong were injured in the fight. He Zhan wanted to visit them, and Song Huiling went with him.
Song Huiling felt that one had to bring something when visiting someone and could not leave empty-handed.
But she really didn't know what to bring. When she went to see Carpenter Zheng before, she had personally made some soup to nourish her body, but in her current condition, it would be difficult for her to cook.
Thinking about visiting patients in the hospital in her previous life, flowers and fruits were standard, she planned to do the same.
Song Huiling found a fresh fruit shop and prepared to buy some fruit first.
As soon as I entered the store, the shopkeeper came up to me warmly and said, "Miss, we have a new batch of golden pears today. They are 20 cents per pound. Would you like to have some?"
Song Huiling looked towards the wooden shelves and his eyes fell on a corner where there were many large pineapples. They were golden in color and very tempting.
"Shopkeeper, your golden pears are not cheap, so I won't buy them." Song Huiling said casually, and his eyes finally fell on the shelf where the apples were placed.
When visiting a sick patient, an apple is the most appropriate gift; giving a pear always feels weird.
If Li Meng and Jiang Huaizhong were superstitious about homophones, they might have thought that she was going to say "Li".
"Girl, my golden pears are a little expensive, but they taste good!" The shopkeeper boasted while observing the young couple in the store.
He usually only focuses on business. Today, the competition in the city is booming, but they, the merchants, don't care much about it.
The shopkeeper didn't know that the young man in front of him was Mr. He, who was so successful in the arena.
He guessed that this young couple should be a young couple. Since entering the door, the husband followed his wife, allowing her to choose without giving any instructions. He must be a doting husband.
Song Huiling had no intention of buying the golden pears, so the shopkeeper turned his attention to He Zhan and said with a smile, "My dear, the golden pears in my shop have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. Why don't you buy some for your wife?"
He Zhan shrugged and spread his hands: "The power of my family lies with my wife. I dare not make any decision on my own. Everything depends on my wife."
The shopkeeper suddenly showed a trace of contempt on his face. It turned out that he was a henpecked and spineless man.
Song Huiling suddenly turned her head and looked at her. She was not so domineering and tyrannical. He Zhan was only ruining her reputation outside.
Facing Song Huiling's warning gaze, He Zhan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said to the shopkeeper: "Besides, my wife is a beauty, so she doesn't need the benefits of your pear."
Song Huiling: “…” She really hoped that He Zhan would return to his previous cold and aloof attitude of ignoring her.
His mouth is becoming more and more uncontrollable, and dirty words come out of his mouth anytime and anywhere.
Boss, I want to kick this guy out. He's really an eyesore!
"Boss, please weigh ten kilograms of apples for me and divide them into two bags, each containing five kilograms." Song Huiling had no face to stay in the fresh fruit shop. He just wanted to buy the apples and leave quickly.
The shopkeeper picked up a beam scale, hooked a bamboo basket with the scale hook, and put a dozen apples into the basket.
When the scale bar was tilted upward by the apple, he held the weight, pressed the scale with his thumb, and placed the scale bar in front of Song Huiling: "Miss, the five-jin scale head is full, you can see that I didn't weigh it down."
Song Huiling smiled slightly: "The shopkeeper is an honest man. I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money."
The shopkeeper packed the five pounds of apples and went on to weigh the next five pounds.
Because of Song Huiling's blessing, he couldn't help but chat with her a little more while weighing the apples: "I'll burn incense if my fresh fruit shop doesn't make a loss, let alone say things like prosperous business and huge profits."
The shopkeeper raised his chin and pointed at the pile of golden pears on the shelf. "That pile of stuff is juicier and sweeter than ordinary duck pears, but customers who come into the store don't even look at them. If I rush to introduce them to customers, they will think that those golden pears are rubbish and that I can't sell them, so I'm anxious to trick them into buying them."
Song Huiling nodded and agreed: "That's normal. The uglier the pear, the tastier it is. Your golden pear looks too good, so it's normal for customers to think it doesn't taste good."
The shopkeeper put down the beam scale, and the corners of his lips drooped: "Girl, don't be fooled by the good appearance of my golden pears. In fact, they taste better than ordinary duck pears. If you don't believe me, I'll give you a taste."
After the shopkeeper packed another five pounds of apples, he went to the shelf to take out a golden pear and picked up a small knife.
As soon as the blade cut into the skin of the golden pear, the fresh pear juice immediately burst out along the cut.
The shopkeeper picked up a knife and slashed it twice. He poked the golden pear with the tip of the knife, picked up a small piece of pear flesh and handed it to Song Huiling: "Miss, try it and see if what I said is true?"
Song Huiling took the pear flesh with a knife, took a small bite, and chewed it twice. The sweet taste of the juice made her squint her eyes.
"Boss, your golden pear is really sweet!" Song Huiling did not hide her love for it.
She turned around and handed the remaining half of the pear to He Zhan's mouth, "Husband, you should try it too, it's really sweet."
He Zhan leaned back subconsciously. He hated eating fresh fruits the most. Even if the fruit was juicy and sweet, he couldn't like it.
But when he met Song Huiling's bright smiling eyes, he couldn't bear to say no and opened his mouth resignedly.
He Zhan bit off the pear flesh, and Song Huiling looked up at him eagerly, seeking his approval: "It's delicious, right? I've never eaten such a sweet pear."
He Zhan frowned even more tightly. This greasy sweet feeling didn't really taste that good. To him, it was a torture to his taste buds.
He swallowed the pear meat with all his might, a gentle smile flashing in his eyes: "It's delicious, if my lady likes it, buy some."
"Shopkeeper, please weigh two more kilograms of golden pears for me." Song Huiling turned his head and spoke to the shopkeeper.
After she turned around, He Zhan finally showed a look of pain on his face, his lips tightly pursed. If you didn't know, you would think he had just drunk a bowl of bitter medicine.
Apples cost ten cents per pound, and golden pears cost twenty cents per pound. This time I spent a total of one hundred and forty cents on buying fresh fruit.
Song Huiling paid the money, and He Zhan took all the fruits on his own initiative.
The shopkeeper and Song Huiling got along very well and were ready to give her the golden pear with a small piece of flesh cut off.
When the shopkeeper handed it to him, Song Huiling refused and said slowly:
"Boss, have you ever thought about why your pears taste so good but you can't sell them?"
"Why?"
"The customer has never tasted the pear, and has judged that your pear is not delicious based on past experience. Didn't I decide to buy it after tasting the pear today?"
The shopkeeper was suddenly enlightened. He should have thought of such a simple truth long ago. However, the golden pears were expensive to purchase and he was reluctant to let his customers taste them. The more he was reluctant, the more likely it would be a waste of money.
He turned to the shelf, picked up an orange and handed it to Song Huiling: "Thank you for your reminder, young lady. This is for you. Remember to come to me next time you need fresh fruit!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Song Huiling took the oranges, said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left the fruit shop.
