Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Selling Wild Vegetables

Chiang Xiao had no idea that in Capital City there was a Chen Baoshen whose nose was against the heavens, and could actually discern the type of herb just by a faint scent.

She was even less aware that a certain man shamelessly used her as a shield to refuse a marriage alliance.

As soon as daylight broke, she awoke.

She got out of bed and immediately left the house, went to the latrine to take care of personal matters, and discovered that Hu Xibing had fallen asleep leaning against a chair at the shop.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Chiang Xiao wrote a line of words on the table, tiptoed to the door to leave, carefully closed it, turned around, and ran.

Yesterday, she had left a letter at the bookstore, so if Yao Cong went there to ask for her whereabouts, the bookstore staff would give it to him.

She asked Yao Cong to go back to the village first and show the letter to her grandfather. After recognizing her handwriting, he would certainly not have any doubts. For this purpose, she even gave up the extremely beautiful regular script she had already practiced and wrote the letter by copying the handwriting from her homework book from the day before.

The characters of a sixth-grader, which were considered proper among her peers, now seemed quite ugly to Chiang Xiao.

As for the reason, she said she had encountered an old widow who needed help and stayed at her house to take care of her, even asking Yao Cong to request a day off for her.

Today was the day of the big market!

Chiang Xiao had been quite regretful that she couldn’t attend because of school, but now with this turn of events, she decided to take the day off and go to the market.

In the letter she left, she told her grandfather that she would be waiting for him under the big banyan tree at the east end of the market this morning.

However, Chiang Xiao had now decided to go to the market first to do what she hadn’t finished yesterday—

Sell all that Tianxiang Green!

Meng Xinian and Zhao Xin probably had a lot of cleanup work to do. Chiang Xiao didn’t really want to have too much contact with them anymore, so it was good for them to part ways like this.

They had their own lives to lead, and she had hers, on two entirely different paths.

The events of yesterday were an extraordinary experience in her life; it was enough for her to remember them herself. She still needed to return to her own path and live this second life of hers well.

Chiang Xiao cast Tyrant Meng and yesterday’s events to the back of her mind. She found a corner in the vegetable market, slipped into the Space, and brought out a sack of Tianxiang Green. Then she found a spot nearby, poured out the Tianxiang Green, spread the sack on the ground, and placed bunches of Tianxiang Green on the sack.

Stored in the Space, the Tianxiang Green was indeed just as fresh as when it was first plucked, the cut ends were still very fresh, and the buds were tender and succulent, almost begging to be eaten.

Conveniently, there was a stone next to her, and Chiang Xiao sat on the small stone, waiting for customers to approach.

It was most likely six in the morning by now, but people generally got up early, and many aunties and grandmas had a lot of chores to do and preferred to buy their vegetables early.

Moreover, vegetables in the market are fresher in the early morning.

In the village, everyone grew their own and there was no vegetable market. Peace Town’s vegetable market was small, but her movements here had already attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing a sprightly young girl, everyone found it quite curious, and it wasn’t long before two chatting aunties walked up to Chiang Xiao’s modest vegetable stand, squatted down, and picked up a bunch of Tianxiang Green to examine it.

"Hey, young lady, these Tianxiang Greens look good. How do you sell them?"

Chiang Xiao quickly said, "A bunch is about a pound, selling for 20 cents."

The slightly plumper auntie on the left pursed her lips and said, "About a pound? So is it actually a full pound or not? You don’t have a scale! What if it’s underweight?"

Hearing her say this, Chiang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, that’s why I’m not charging by the pound for 20 cents, but by the bunch. I can only go by touch, it’s roughly one pound. Some may be over, some may be a little less by an ounce or two, so you can pick for yourself. Picking first is naturally the best deal."
