Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1576 - 1575: How about Lowering the Price?_1

Yang Ye was working on the canal outside, which was essentially helping her save up Divine Liquid, and she owed him thanks for that.

If Tong Sanlang hadn’t been injured, the task of canal construction would have certainly fallen on him. Now that Yang Ye had taken on Tong Sanlang’s duties as well, she was very grateful.

Seated at the dining table, Yang Ye chewed on the delicacies, his phoenix eyes curving happily into crescents.

Damn, after living like a savage, he had finally returned to being a prince!

After wolfing down his meal to satisfy his craving for the delicacies, he finally started showing the refined manners of a prince, leisurely savoring the food. While tasting, he said, "I’ve heard there are quite a few rumors about you in Capital City."

He gave Qiao Xiaomai a sideways glance with his phoenix eyes and asked, "How do you feel about that?"

"It’s all bullshit," Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes.

Yang Ye rolled his eyes as well, "I’m eating here!"

"It’s all nonsense," Qiao Xiaomai corrected herself.

Yang Ye made a face at that and added, "And it’s affecting the business of Ultimate Flavor House big time?"

"Yeah, it’s been lacking for a month now, a huge decrease indeed," said Qiao Xiaomai with a sigh, "Luckily, we still have the capital the Wu family left us; otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to smile right now."

"Those people really cooped themselves up in their mansions for an entire month?" Yang Ye asked with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

At most, there were three to five members working as officials in these Aristocratic Families. The rest, without any real official positions, used to engage in various forms of entertainment when they had nothing else to do. A few more accomplished ones might help with family businesses, but most were just Young Masters.

For a group of Young Masters to stay cooped up in their homes for half a month was astonishing, truly astonishing.

"With a major event like a house raid impending, of course, they can hold out," sighed Qiao Xiaomai.

Yang Ye frowned and asked, "Now that watermelons and crayfish are edible, if they don’t come out, whose silver will we earn?"

"That’s what I’m saying!" Qiao Xiaomai sighed.

Her watermelons and crayfish were ready, but sadly, those people were still holding out and not leaving their homes.

Compared to the boom of last summer, this summer was practically winter.

"How about I send out invitations to have them gather at Ultimate Flavor House? After they’ve tasted the deliciousness of watermelons and crayfish, do you think they will hold out?" Yang Ye asked.

"Not sure. Aside from real foodies, I think most people could resist," Qiao Xiaomai was not optimistic.

She wasn’t running an essential business like Bei Lingsu, after all—delicacies were only appealing to foodies!

Hearing this, Yang Ye’s eyebrows knitted together.

What to do now?

"Plus, the Empress Dowager has even knitted several dozen wool sweaters. Such precious and exquisite items could have sold for a fortune, but now those people are staying holed up and not coming out," Qiao Xiaomai sighed again.

Having goods but no buyers made business too difficult.

"Why don’t you lower the prices?" Yang Ye suggested.

Instead of having high-priced goods unsold and piling up, it’s better to sell them at a lower price—earning a little is better than nothing.

For instance, the prices for watermelons last year were indeed extremely unreasonable. If they were only two or three times more expensive than the normal price this year, then there should be buyers, right?

Lower the prices?

This idea made Qiao Xiaomai frown as soon as she heard it.

Honestly, she couldn’t bear to do it.

Whether it was watermelons or crayfish, they were all grown with the water from Spiritual Spring, providing not just taste but also health benefits.

She sighed in frustration, "Those people are really stingy, holding onto wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, yet they can’t even bring themselves to buy a watermelon."
