Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 7 White Jade Radish

Grandma Yufei looked at Xiaohua, then at Yufei, as if she had made up her mind.

"go!"

He then led Yufei to the seafood shop owned by Jiang Xiaoyu and Gao Chengzhi.

"Xiaohua, I didn't expect to run into you here. Where's Chengzhi?" Grandma Yufei greeted Jiang Xiaohua.

"Aunt Huifang? You've come to the county town? Chengzhi went to buy supplies, please come in and sit down." Jiang Xiaohua didn't expect to run into Grandma Yufei here, and greeted her warmly.

"I won't sit down, but I might need your help with something," Grandma Yufei said apologetically.

Then the situation was explained.

"I brought some vegetables to sell, but Yufei's grandfather carelessly left his things here. I need to leave for a moment to deliver something to her grandfather. Could I leave my vegetable stall with you for a bit? Yufei knows how to sell, but she'll need you to look after it for her. I'm sorry."

"Oh! I thought it was something serious. Auntie's fine, don't worry, I'll take care of Yufei."

Xiaohua and Chunhua are very similar in personality; both are cheerful and capable. Upon hearing Grandma Yufei's request, she immediately agreed.

Grandma Yufei felt relieved and placed the vegetables next to the small flower shop again, then hurriedly left.

Only Yufei and Xiaohua remained. Yufei sweetly called out, "Aunt Xiaohua!"

Then he continued...

"Auntie Xiaohua, don't worry, I'm being very good~"

Jiang Xiaohua pinched Yufei's little face and thought to herself that it felt so good, even smoother than an egg.

Then he jokingly said to Yufei

"Who says they're well-behaved? Whether you're well-behaved or not depends on your behavior."

Yufei nodded, saying nothing more, and instead used the basket her grandmother had left her to take out the vegetables she had prepared to sell.

"Vegetables for sale! Top-quality vegetables! Green and pollution-free, delicious and healthy! Uncles, aunts, and grandpas come and take a look!" A grandmother's voice rang out in the vegetable market.

This unique sound has attracted a lot of attention.

When they saw a beautifully sculpted baby sitting there, calling out to customers, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

"Little one, are you buying groceries here? Are you an adult?" an elderly woman asked with a smile.

"Grandma, my aunt is buying fish over there, and I'm helping her watch the stall," she said, pointing towards Aunt Xiaohua's stall.

Xiao Hua greeted them cheerfully, letting them know that this little baby had powerful connections.

Yufei deftly cut a radish she had taken out of her spatial storage into small pieces and said...

"This is a newly developed fruit radish. It tastes even sweeter than apples and pears. Aunties and uncles, you can try it. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay."

As she spoke, Yufei gestured to the already washed radish chunks that she could try them for free.

Who could resist a baby offering them food? So, everyone drawn by Grandma Yufei's voice took a bite, and one bite was incredible!

Beneath the crisp, spicy flavor of the white radish lies a unique sweetness, leaving everyone who eats it feeling refreshed and invigorated.

After eating the first one, I wanted to eat the second one.

So, those who were initially drawn in by the baby all started asking about the price.

"One pound of radishes costs 1 cents," Yufei said.

In 94, white radishes cost about 1 or 5 cents per kilogram.

But Yufei thought about it for a moment. After all, her radishes were produced in her space, and anything produced in her space was bound to be of high quality.

So she decided to sell it for a slightly higher price; she was actually quite nervous when she said it was one cent per pound.

After all, it was the early 90s, the time of reform and opening up, and wages were only a few dozen yuan, with the highest being around a hundred yuan. Of course, this did not include those who did business.

Therefore, many people are still extremely careful with their money, and Yufei can't say for sure whether it will sell.

Indeed, when Yufei announced the price, some people who were about to try the radish paused, hesitating whether or not to.

Of those who tried it, some showed hesitation, while others readily offered to buy a pound or two.

To be honest, it was a bit pricey for Yufei, but these white radishes are so delicious, I'll buy some to try.

The people of Daxia Kingdom love excitement. Yufei's sweet voice and cute appearance attracted a crowd to her stall, and then the radish chunks drew them in, making the crowd even larger.

Even those who didn't know the situation, seeing the crowd gathered three or four deep, followed suit.

In the end, after those who said they wanted to buy some to try, those who were still hesitant and unsure all said they wanted some too, and the radishes on the stall sold out faster and faster.

Those who couldn't buy any got anxious; some even stopped trying them and just wanted to buy them. Eventually, long queues formed, creating a lively and bustling scene.

If Yufei hadn't been worried about selling too many and arousing suspicion, she probably would have emptied all the radishes she had stored in her space today.

So she reluctantly apologized to the people still in line, explaining that all the goods on her stall were sold out. Some people who bought radishes also bought other vegetables, so the vegetables that Grandma Yufei brought were also sold out.

Those who couldn't buy vegetables complained repeatedly that they had queued for a long time, and then it was all gone? There was nothing they could do about it when the goods were sold out. Finally, they asked if they would sell them again tomorrow.

I'm planning to get up early tomorrow to come buy groceries.

Yufei said she wasn't sure, and that tomorrow's problems could only be discussed tomorrow. A chorus of complaints erupted, but what could they do with a baby? They could only disperse.

Some are thinking of coming to check tomorrow, just in case...

They all forgot to consider whether the white radish was worth the price -_-||

However, many people who have already bought the white radishes said that it was totally worth it after cooking and eating them at home, and they will definitely buy them again tomorrow!

Bai Yutong was one of them. She doesn't usually cook for herself, but today, for some reason, she suddenly felt like cooking for herself.

She's the kind of person who acts on her thoughts, so when she went to the market to buy groceries, she encountered a long line of people waiting to buy white radishes.

Thinking that so many people were buying it, it must be a good product, she joined the queue.

Surprisingly, she managed to snag a pound of it, so she also bought a piece of pork rib and made a pork rib and radish soup.

The taste of that soup was something she would never forget for the rest of her life; the sweetness of the radish combined with the meaty aroma of the pork ribs, and the soup was incredibly delicious.

At that moment, only this sentence lingered in her mind: "Even dragon meat in the heavens is nothing more than this!"

She ate five bowls of rice with braised pork ribs and white radish.

After finishing her meal, she started to worry. Not about gaining weight, but about how she would survive without the last radish she'd bought.

So she quietly went back to her bedroom, took out her treasured alarm clock, set the time, and prepared to get up early tomorrow to grab carrots!

Not just Bai Yutong

Grandpa Li was lucky enough to snag two pounds of white radishes today. It happens to be his grandson's 12th birthday, and he plans to make him a radish and duck stew.

His grandson is usually a very picky eater, and he fights countless times for food, but he can't even finish a bowl of rice and is as thin as a monkey.

I went for a checkup a few days ago, and the doctor said I was malnourished and told me to eat more.

But his grandson just wouldn't listen. However, today Grandpa Li was surprised to find that his grandson ate several bowls of rice with braised duck with radish, which made him very happy!

After eating, she told him that the radish was delicious and she wanted to eat more!

So he decided he had to get up very early tomorrow to go and buy white radishes!

This same scenario played out in different ways in each household that bought the radishes, ultimately converging on one conclusion: there might be a lot of people buying these radishes tomorrow.
