Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 235: Buying Grapes

The entrance was filled with the scent of peach blossom, crispy and delicious.

"Eat slowly, if it’s not enough, we can get more."

Seeing the two devour the pastries without even sipping the tea, Le Zhao reminded them helplessly.

"This peach blossom tea is also quite nice, have a cup before you continue eating."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of peach blossom tea for each of them.

Xuan Ying took a sip from his cup, savoring the taste.

As for Shen Qinglan, who had no real concept of tea or water, didn’t care what kind of tea it was, as long as it was tea, she drank it like plain water.

There she went, downing a cup in one gulp.

Once both had their fill of food and drink, Le Zhao paid the bill and left the Hundred Cake Shop with the two.

"Grapes!"

Upon seeing the pile of purple and green fruits in the fruit shop, Shen Qinglan’s eyes lit up.

"Does Miss Shen want some?" Xuan Ying asked.

"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded.

At her response, Xuan Ying quickly said, "Let’s go buy some fruits!"

With that, the two left Le Zhao behind and strode towards the fruit shop.

"What fruit would you like, dear customers?" The shopkeeper greeted them with a cheerful smile.

"Grapes." Shen Qinglan pointed at the grapes. "Is this all you have?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"There’s more!" The shopkeeper smiled. "There are three more baskets inside, how many would the young miss like?"

"All of them."

"What?" Both Xuan Ying and the following Le Zhao were taken aback.

"Miss Shen, can you finish all these?" Xuan Ying asked.

"Who said I’m going to eat them?" Shen Qinglan glanced at him. "I have other uses for them."

"You really want all of them?" The shopkeeper confirmed again.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "All of them."

"Alright then!" The shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed happily as he hurried to measure the fruits.

"How are we going to carry all these?" Xuan Ying pondered.

"No need to worry, dear customer." The shopkeeper laughed. "Just leave your address and we’ll ensure delivery."

"What’s the address?" Shen Qinglan asked Xuan Ying.

Before Xuan Ying could speak, Le Zhao spoke to the shopkeeper, "Please send them to Duan Mansion at Yingfu Gate."

"Alright!" The shopkeeper calculated rapidly with his abacus. "These four baskets, fifty pounds per basket, in total two hundred pounds, thirty Wen per pound, totaling six Silver Taels."

"That expensive?" Xuan Ying frowned. "Pork is only fifteen Wen per pound."

"Oh dear sir, I really don’t want to sell them at such a high price," the shopkeeper explained helplessly. "But the transport costs from Nanfeng Country to the Prefecture City are not small. If I don’t sell them at this price, it would be all for naught."

"Six taels it is."

Le Zhao handed the six taels of broken silver to the shopkeeper, but Shen Qinglan blocked him, saying, "I’ll pay for it."

Although they haven’t known each other for long, Le Zhao was somewhat aware of Shen Qinglan’s temperament. Hearing her insist, he could only retract the money.

After paying, the trio was about to leave when suddenly they heard someone calling out, "Shopkeeper, I’ll take all four baskets of grapes, send them to Ding Mansion later."

Shen Qinglan turned to see a little girl with a basket on her arm, gazing loftily at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper apologized, "Sorry, Miss Zhishu, these four baskets have already been sold. If you want them, come earlier next time!"

"What?" The little girl glared, "Who bought them?"

"These three customers," the shopkeeper pointed to Shen Qinglan and her companions.

The girl glanced disdainfully at the three and said, "How much did you pay for these four baskets of grapes? I’ll give you double."
