Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 156 Star-Picking Pavilion

Most of the people here went to the blessing ceremony that day, but they were too far away to see what the celestial messenger looked like.

They had all been blessed by the immortals with immortal water, and now they were being told that this estate belonged to the immortals and that they were working for them. They were incredibly excited.

If you ask me if I'm not afraid that everything in this field grows and matures overnight, I'd say...

They would only become more convinced that this must be the magic of the celestial messenger. If they performed well, they would be overjoyed if the celestial messenger took a liking to them, so why would they be afraid?

They worked until dawn, picking only one basket of each type of vegetable and fruit. These were all seeds that Su Yue had found in her spatial storage, and most of them were not found in this world.

There were over twenty baskets of things like cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, peppers, lettuce, and a few kinds of fruit.

There were several servants on the estate who were good at weaving small baskets, and Su Yue had them all loaded onto carts and taken into the city along with the vegetables and fruits.

They arrived at the city gate at just the right time; the gate opened as soon as they reached it.

Today is the first day the shop opens for business, I wonder how it will go!

However, Su Yue wasn't worried. If no one bought it, well, she could just take it to the palace and sell it to His Majesty.

It's because that guy sent his head eunuch over to ask for food.

As soon as the group arrived at the shop, they got busy, packing each dish into a small basket according to Su Yue's idea.

Just like a modern fruit basket, each type of vegetable in the basket was only enough to cook two plates.

There is also a fruit basket, for example, four peaches in a small basket, or two bunches of grapes in a small basket.

Then place the pre-packaged vegetable baskets and fruit baskets on the table closest to the door.

The shop also had a special counter for collecting money, where a manager in his thirties, surnamed Li, whom Shen Lerong had found, was already working.

The shop has shelves on three sides against the wall, with counters for collecting money, and steps leading to the second floor next to them.

There's nothing planned for the second floor to sell right now, so it's currently empty.

Behind the cashier's counter is a door that leads to the backyard and a separate small shop.

Su Yue wanted to save it to see if she could buy some drinks and snacks later.

Now she has sorted through the things in the space and tidied them all up.

For example, she planned to sell the grain that had just been harvested.

After all, the taste of those grown in the air is much worse.

Su Yue also took out two jars of the wine that Old Luo liked the most to sell, as well as grape juice and peach juice that she made in her space.

The girls hired by the shop then sorted and packaged the items and placed them on the shelves.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the appointed time to open for business.

Su Yue wasn't worried about whether the products would sell or not, since once someone had tried them, she was sure they would come back to buy them a second time.

The weather was great today. By eight o'clock, the sun was fully up, and people were coming and going on the streets, with many vendors wearing patched clothes and people in long robes moving about.

And so, Zhaixingfang opened its doors in a radiant display. If it weren't for the fact that there were no firecrackers in this world, Su Yue would have definitely bought a 30,000-firecracker set to make it a lively affair.

The shop door was wide open, and four little girls dressed in matching outfits stood at the entrance. Their names were also chosen after the shop was purchased, and they were easy to remember: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.

They immediately attracted the attention of passersby. These four girls were all bought by Shen Lerong. They were all very pleasing to the eye. Standing there, apart from being a little thin, they were still quite good-looking.

Look at the whole street, that shop looks like this!

Many people gathered around and looked up. What was "Zhaixingfang" for?

Looking into the shop, it was hard to tell what they were selling at first glance.

They had never seen a shop like this before. It looked like it sold vegetables, but it was something else entirely.

One of the bolder men peeked out and finally asked, "What are you selling here?"

Xiao Mei smiled and replied, "Young master, we sell a lot of things in our shop. Why don't you come in and take a look?"

The man hesitated, then glanced at the shop again, and finally couldn't resist his curiosity, so he stepped inside.

Then he couldn't open his eyes anymore. It was the season for peaches, grapes, and apples, how could there be such big and good fruit?

He then discovered that most of the dishes sold here were ones he had never seen before.

The man looked around the fruit section, and Su Yue was also secretly observing him. In the end, she asked someone to cut the peaches and apples into small pieces so that he could taste a piece of each.

Finally, the man resisted and bought a vegetable basket and a fruit basket.

It was so delicious! The peaches were fragrant and sweet, and just one bite filled my mouth with the aroma of peaches.

The apples tasted sweet and crisp; he had never eaten such good fruit before.

A vegetable basket costs three taels of silver, and a fruit basket costs five taels of silver.

The man gritted his teeth and bought it in the end; it was delicious, but just too expensive.

As the man left with the two baskets, he kept saying, "It's delicious, but it's too expensive. Otherwise, I would have liked to buy more."

Xiaomei smiled and saw him off at the door, saying, "Take care, young master. Please come again next time if you find it delicious. Our vegetables and fruits were all picked fresh tonight, and they are some varieties that are not commonly seen. They are really not expensive."

Xiaolan also took out the cut fruit for passersby to taste.

"Everyone come and try these delicious and sweet peaches. If they're not good, don't buy them."

Then a few people who had tried the product and were dressed better walked into the store.

Just like the person who came in first, they first looked around and then began to have doubts.

Fortunately, these people were quite generous and bought some vegetable baskets and fruit baskets.

However, an old woman followed by a young maid also came in, looking at this and then at that.

The old woman felt that all her years of shopping had been in vain, as she didn't recognize several of the vegetables sold in the shop.

Qiaoyun noticed the old woman's confusion and went over to her: "Madam, which one do you want to buy?"

The old woman pointed blankly at a long, thin chili pepper and asked, "What is this? I've never seen it before. Is it edible? How do you eat it?"

Qiaoyun smiled when she saw that she was referring to chili peppers: "These are chili peppers. They came from another place. You can cut some and put them in when you stir-fry. They're very spicy and taste like dogwood, but they taste better than that."

It can also be stir-fried with eggs or meat. There are many ways to cook it. Madam, you can buy some and try it.

The old woman was immediately intrigued. She was a servant in the household who helped the lady buy food, specifically for the small kitchen.

Her wife loves spicy food, but she doesn't like the taste of dogwood. Now that she's found this chili pepper, she can buy it for her husband to try.
