The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 405 - 402: Selling Purple Cloud Cabbage

Purple Cloud Cabbages are too delicious, Ma Jingtian came to plead on behalf of a bunch of brothers.

"Keep dreaming, those things are meant to be sold. Don’t forget that Chu Mansion has hardly any income right now, and the Water Wraith Gang has turned over a new leaf, with so many mouths to feed, surviving on cabbages alone would bankrupt me."

In Xin Lin’s heart, Little Xin Lin held an abacus in his left hand and a calculator in his right, calculating vigorously on how to make the most out of these Purple Cloud Cabbages and carve out a financial path for Chu Mansion. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Little Boss, no matter how tasty these cabbages are, how much could they actually be worth? If they could be made into Spiritual Delicacies, they’d surely increase in value; but if we’re just selling them raw, at most they’d bring a few copper coins. I think we might as well eat them ourselves. They even have some medicinal benefits; after I ate some, my chronic constipation was cured!"

Ma Jingtian pleaded with a downturned face.

Xin Lin wasn’t entirely dismissive of what Ma Jingtian said.

Cabbages aren’t worth much; even selling them for ten or eight copper coins each would be undercutting their actual value.

As for turning them into Spiritual Food, it would be fine if Chu’s Restaurant were still in operation, but since it cannot do business right now, this makes selling the cabbages difficult.

"I’ll think about it, you go and buy some new seeds now, not too many, about the same as last time."

For now, Xin Lin couldn’t provide any more Purple Cloud Cabbages; after all, they needed to "drink" from the Jade Pure Spring.

Xin Lin herself also needs to use the Jade Pure Spring, so being able to harvest a batch of Purple Cloud Cabbages every other day is already quite good. After calculations, a hundred cabbages per harvest and fifteen hundred in half a month is not an insignificant number.

Aside from what the mansion requires for daily consumption, the rest must be sold off.

Although Purple Cloud Cabbages taste better than regular cabbages, they still rot ultimately; without a cold storage, Chu Mansion could not keep them for long.

Xin Lin decided to take two Purple Cloud Cabbages to Taoyao Pavilion today to see if she could get them to purchase a batch.

Xin Lin said and did; that evening, she took two Purple Cloud Cabbages to the pantry.

She arrived early today, Master Ji was still prepping ingredients in the back.

"Uncle Ji, here are two cabbages I grew myself. What do you think, does Taoyao Pavilion still purchase cabbages?"

Xin Lin caught a glimpse of Master Ji’s assistant, Uncle Ji.

He was Master Ji’s nephew and had always been working under Master Ji, a One-star Spirit Cuisine Master.

Master Ji usually only handled the procurement of spiritual materials; the procurement of ordinary fruits, vegetables, and meats was usually managed by Master Ji.

This Master Ji was known for being somewhat acidic in speech and often bullied the general workers, his reputation in the pantry was not great.

But since procurement was his responsibility, Xin Lin had to ask him first.

"Cabbages, what do you think Taoyao Pavilion is, a place where just any old cabbages can be dumped?"

Master Ji replied unhappily.

Yet Xin Lin was not annoyed, her little face still had a cheerful smile.

"Master Ji, my cabbages grow fast and are free of pests, quite delicious indeed."

After listening, Master Ji took a reluctant look at the Purple Cloud Cabbages in Xin Lin’s hand.

This look took Master Ji by surprise.

These cabbages, they looked quite Water Spirit-like, almost comparable to the fourteen-year-old fresh-faced junior official who’d recently joined Taoyao Pavilion.

Master Ji then pinched the cabbage leaves, and the scent of the cabbage hit his face.

A really good thing.

Master Ji had a discerning eye and immediately recognized the quality of Xin Lin’s Purple Cloud Cabbages as exceptional.

"I’m selling them for one silver per cabbage."

Xin Lin gestured.

A price of one silver was already tens of times over the normal price for a Purple Cloud Cabbage.

One hundred silver a day would solve the basic food expenses of Chu Mansion.

But who knew that Master Ji would give a cold laugh.
