Chapter 53 The Spoiled and Sweet Little Treasure Sells Strawberries

Master Wan didn’t expect anyone to be in his bed, he was so scared that he rolled off the bed, his old bones almost falling apart.

He shivered as he got up to look, and saw a disheveled, monstrous thing crawling out of the quilt on the bed.

Master Wan’s heart almost stopped.

The thing suddenly spoke: “Ah!!! A ghost! Help!”

This voice belonged to his most spoiled prodigal son, Wan Baocai.

Master Wan’s heart instantly returned to normal: “You little rascal, what are you doing hiding in my bed? Ouch! My old bones! I’m going to be crushed to death!”

Wan Baocai had a nightmare, full of man-eating ghosts, and when he saw his old father in a daze, he immediately woke up, jumped out of bed and pressed on his old father: “Dad, it’s you! You scared me! I almost got eaten by a ghost! The ghost was pressing on me, it hurt all over.”

Master Wan was pressed so hard that his old face turned purple and he rolled his eyes: “You little rascal, if you don’t get up, I’m going to be crushed to death by you!”

Wan Baocai looked up and saw his father looking like he was about to die, he cried out: “Dad, don’t die! You still have to repair the road in Lanhua Village!”

Master Wan: “…” So I’m alive just to repair the road?

No! Repair what road?

After a while, Master Wan recovered, Wan Baocai was beaten and knelt on the ground, covering his butt and wailing.

“Stop crying, if you cry again, you can forget about repairing the road!” Master Wan waved the feather duster in his hand in annoyance.

Wan Baocai stopped crying, sobbing and asking: “Dad, did you agree to repair the road?”

Master Wan chuckled: “No.”

Wan Baocai was about to cry again.

Master Wan was startled and quickly said: “When the milk cakes are edible, bring them to the restaurant, bring in revenue, and make the customers like them, then Dad can consider repairing the road.”

Wan Baocai wiped his tears: “What about after you consider it?”

Master Wan’s eyes were sharp: “You study hard, learn all the commonly used characters, learn how to keep accounts and look at account books, then I will agree to repair the road in Lanhua Village.”

Wan Baocai frowned: “Dad, you don’t need to repair the road, I’ll use my own money to repair it.”

He has a monthly allowance of two hundred taels of silver, saving for a year is enough to repair the road, anyway, he doesn’t need any money in Lanhua Village.

Master Wan was anxious and quickly finished the rest of his words: “As long as you study hard, don’t cause trouble for me, your father, I can not only repair the road in Lanhua Village, but I can also build you a small villa in Lanhua Village, so you can live there directly.”

Wan Baocai’s eyes lit up instantly, he quickly got up from the ground, rushed over and hugged Master Wan, and kissed him on the face several times: “Dad, you are my real father, I love you the most! Don’t worry, son will study hard from now on, make progress every day, and will never let you down.”

Master Wan, who was covered in saliva: “…”

Did this son learn this trick from the Shen family?

So disrespectful!

So uncultured!

So damn touching!

He never thought he could be loved and close to his son like this in his life.

“Baocai, sleep with Dad tonight.”

“Okay, Dad! Dad, I’ll cover you with the quilt!”

His son has grown up, he’s filial, and he’ll even cover him with the quilt!

They, father and son, have never slept in the same room before!

…

Master Wan was awakened by a foul smell and a warm liquid, he opened his eyes and found a small fat butt sitting on his head, a puddle of urine had soaked his hair, and there was a liquid with a strange taste flowing into his mouth.

Master Wan: “…”

“You little rascal!”

With a roar, the little fat boy Wan Baocai was kicked out of the room.

At the same time.

The Shen family got up and found that they were all fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The strawberries are not poisonous, that’s great!

They are going to make a fortune again!

Shen Nian couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Her family members are so cute!

After personally verifying the charm of strawberries, with the precedent of scallion pancakes and milk cakes, the Shen family couldn’t wait to try selling them outside.

It’s a pity, there are too few strawberries in the field. We only picked eight jin of fully ripe strawberries. I knew I shouldn’t have eaten them yesterday, that was money I ate!

Shen Nian priced the strawberries at five copper coins each, and those with poor appearance at three copper coins each. This price was ridiculously high, the Shen family members were sweating nervously, these strawberries were only half the size of an egg, but they were several times more expensive than an egg, would anyone buy them?

Thinking that the strawberries were grown by Shen Nian with hard work, everyone let her have her way.

The eight jin of strawberries were divided into three portions, two jin for the second family, two jin for the third family. These two families would sell the strawberries while selling pancakes in town, selling the ones with the worst appearance. They were afraid that people in town wouldn’t buy the good-looking ones, they were too expensive!

The money earned from selling strawberries, the second and third families would give half to the first family, and keep the rest for themselves, which was equivalent to buying strawberries at half price from Shen Nian and selling them individually. In the future, when the rest of the strawberries ripen, if the second and third families want to continue selling strawberries, they will also purchase them from the first family at this wholesale price.

There are many people in the county, the first family will sell four jin of strawberries, and they are the best-looking ones. Shen Nian wants to go with them, she wants to sell strawberries herself.

Fearing that the elders would worry that her father and second brother would be too busy selling pancakes to take care of her, she also called Wei Shi.

Thinking that the people who had been investigating her hadn’t shown up for a long time, Wei Shi felt that they shouldn’t be targeted again, so she agreed to go with Shen Nian.

Before they went out, the mother and daughter darkened their faces a little, as if they had been tanned, their skin didn’t look as tender as before, their beauty was discounted.

Both mother and daughter were very fond of beauty, it was good enough that they could disguise themselves like this, it was impossible to be uglier.

The family of four went to Liujiacun to take the ox cart.

Seeing that Shen Nian was tanned, the familiar people on the cart were heartbroken, Old Man Liu even scolded Shen Dong for a long time.

“Nian Nian is only three years old, how can you let her get tanned like this, girls love beauty so much! Such a good daughter, she should be pampered, how can you mess around like this, you are such an incompetent father!”

Shen Dong, who always doted on his daughter: “…”

Wei Shi: “…” No, you only noticed that my daughter turned black, didn’t you notice that I also turned black?

I’m the most beautiful woman in the ten miles and eight villages!

When they arrived in the county, Shen Dong took his wife and children to the street where they usually set up their stall, set up the pancake stall, and Shen Nian took Wei Shi to find a shady spot next to the pancake stall to sell strawberries.

The four jin of strawberries were neatly arranged in a small bamboo basket, covered with a layer of breathable gauze to keep out dust.

Shen Nian used the small wooden watering can made by Shen Xue to spray a little water on the strawberries, making them look even redder and more tender.

She took two strawberries, cut them into small pieces with a knife and put them in a bowl, inserted small bamboo skewers, for customers to taste.

Wei Shi was dumbfounded, her daughter was really good at doing business.

How did this little head grow, how can she be so sensible and smart!

She is so good at giving birth!

Wei Shi was full of pride, she helped her daughter with nimble hands and feet, arranged the strawberries, and the mother and daughter took out the folding stools made by Shen Xue and sat in front of the strawberries.

Wei Shi originally thought that they would just sit and wait for customers to come, but she didn’t expect that her daughter would sit down and pick up the small bowl, shouting in her baby voice: “Strawberries for sale! Fresh strawberries, delicious strawberries, free tasting!”

She shouted when she saw someone passing by.

“Beautiful little sister, buy some strawberries! This thing is not only beautiful, but also delicious!”

“Kind old lady, would you like to try some strawberries?”

“Handsome and unparalleled big brother, do you need to buy some strawberries?”

“What? You don’t know strawberries, then you will know them from today! Free tasting, I’ll eat it for you to see, it won’t upset your stomach, this is grown by me and my family, it’s not wild!”

“What? It’s too expensive! Sorry, strawberries are very troublesome to grow, the seeds are hard to find, they are rare and precious, this is already a conscience price, no bargaining.”

Because Shen Nian’s mouth was so sweet and she was good at talking, many people were attracted by her, and in a short time, the mother and daughter were surrounded by a group of people, Shen Dong was so scared that he quickly dropped his work and rushed over to them, acting as a protector.
