farm lady

Chapter 14

Shopkeeper Li was listening just now. Hearing this girl speak so loudly, he was even more confident that the food in his restaurant was unique.

"Well, shopkeeper, if my food is absolutely unique, I'll sell it to you at a pound of five taels of silver. If not, how about I am willing to work for your restaurant for free for a year?" Yi Xue said calmly .

Shopkeeper Li looked at Yi Xue suspiciously, and was a little shaken seeing her so determined, but with so many people watching, he couldn't weaken the reputation of his restaurant.

"Okay, that's how it should be," Shopkeeper Li said cheerfully.

"Then how about I be the referee?" Someone suddenly said.

Yi Xue saw that it was the man who had led him the way before, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Tianming, do you recognize this girl?" A man of about the same age next to the man asked in surprise.

"It's just that they came from the same road, and they don't know each other," Huo Tianming said with a smile.

"It's more appropriate to have Master Tianming as the referee," Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

"Then how about asking shopkeeper Li to give me a dry room?" Yi Xue said.

Although he didn't know what this girl was doing, shopkeeper Li still set aside a hot room for Yi Xue to use.

Yi Xue took Erya and Sanya to work in the dry fire, and soon a strong smell filled the restaurant.

"It smells so good, what is this?" a guest asked curiously.

“Never smelled anything like this”

Shopkeeper Li suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, this kind of smell is indeed not found in restaurants.

After a while, Yi Xue came out with Erya and Sanya, holding a plate in her hand, which was specially covered, so I couldn't see what it was.

Yi Xue smiled faintly, "Shopkeeper, does what you just said count?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled generously, "Of course it counts." In fact, he was secretly happy. If there is such a delicious food, if his restaurant buys all of them, he will be the only one in the future, so what if he loses?
In front of everyone, Yi Xue untied the lid, and saw three golden things, which were steaming and fragrant.

Yi Xue cut the sweet potato into several pieces with a knife, and then said, "Master Tianming taste it first, and then all the guests also decide for the little girl, how about it?"

Huo Tianming had already smelled the aroma, and was even more eager to taste it, so he couldn't wait to eat it, a scent moistened his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatically, "Good stuff, good stuff".

Seeing Huo Tianming's praise, Shopkeeper Li and the others couldn't wait to have a bite, and all of them immediately spoke highly of it.

After the shopkeeper Li ate it, he was shocked. He had never seen such a sweet food. He looked at Yi Xue as if he saw a treasure, and hurriedly asked, "Girl, what is this?"

Yi Xue didn't hide "sweet potatoes".

sweet potato?Everyone is thinking, it seems that this thing called sweet potato has never been heard of or seen.

"Girl, how many do you have? I want them all." Shopkeeper Li suddenly became excited. This is a business opportunity.

Yi Xue chuckled and opened the basket, "Only these"

Seeing that there were only a dozen or so sweet potatoes in the basket, shopkeeper Li was a little disappointed, and asked tentatively, "Does the girl have any more?"

Yi Xue knew what he was up to, thought for a while, and then said, "Shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, this thing is really rare. We searched for more than ten days before we dug up such a small amount. We probably won't find it until next year."

Hearing that this item is cherished, shopkeeper Li was even more excited, because rare items are expensive, and if they are purchased next year, they will be worth a lot of money if they are bought by size.

"Okay, just as the girl said, I'll take it all for a catty of five taels of silver," Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

"Oh, shopkeeper Li, such a good thing, I can't lose my share, girl, if you sell it to me, it will cost six taels of silver per catty," a customer said suddenly.
