Chapter Twenty-Three: Loquats One Hundred Yuan Per Jin

back."As Yang Fan approached, Grandma Xu leaned in her ear and whispered, “Those people picked a lot of loquats. They also picked strawberries and some of everything else.”Her face was filled with jo...Yang Fan gave all the loquats in a whole basket to the village's grandparents, uncles, and aunts. After eating the loquats she gave them, everyone said they were delicious.

After sending it off, she went up the mountain and picked a basket of loquats. After returning home, she took out the pen, ink, and yellow paper she had bought earlier and drew a protective talisman for Li Kangping. She folded the talisman carefully.

Then she took the family scale, put the basket of loquats on her back, took a small mat, and asked Grandpa Li to take her to town.

Grandfather Li had already learned about Li Kangping from Grandma Xu and knew that Yang Fan was indeed a capable person. On the way, he curiously asked her, "Yang Fan, where did you learn all these skills"

Yang Fan replied, "I learned all of this from the Taoists at the Sanqing Palace."

So that's how it is, no wonder it's like this with Grandpa Li.

"Your uncle sent you up to Sanqing Palace before," Li Grandpa said with a sigh, "Back then we all thought your uncle had gone crazy, not letting you go to school and sending you up there for what"

"Hey, I didn't expect you to actually learn the real deal!"

"Well... yeah."

A flicker of surprise crossed Yang Fan's eyes. The original owner had lived in the Sanqing Palace before, so why did he not have any memories of that time

She lowered her head, a thoughtful expression on her face. She would have to ask about this when Yang Xiwen fetched the package.

... I just don't know how long the delivery will take.

The car soon arrived at the town. Yang Fan went to the express delivery office first and sent the amulet to Li Kangping.

Then she set up a stall to sell loquats on the street outside the market. There were also people from nearby villages selling vegetables, fruits, and small toys there, so her stall didn't seem out of place.

Yang Fan first went to the nearby store to buy a bag of bags, and asked for a piece of cardboard. He used a brush pen to write on it: Shangyuan Village Premium Apricots, fifty yuan per jin.

She then slipped the cardboard into its rack and mounted her small stool, and her stall was set up.

Master Li hadn't left yet. Seeing her write "50 yuan per jin for loquats," he was shocked.

"Yang Fan, your loquats are selling for 50 yuan per kilogram!"

"Well, fifty-one jin is a bit cheap," Yang Fan said, "but first we need to build the brand, so let's sell at this price."

Li YeYe:：“……” Do you think you're selling it too cheaply already!

A vegetable vendor next to them chuckled, "Little sister, loquats are fifty yuan per kilogram. You could have just taken them."

Fifty yuan per catty for loquats Who bought such an expensive fruit with water in their head

Mr. Li advised, "Yang Fan, you're selling too expensively. Others are selling for six or seven yuan per jin. You should sell at the same price as everyone else."

"No, this loquat of mine is better than theirs, so it's worth the price."

Yang Fan sat calmly on a small stool, "Grandpa Li, you go busy yourself. I can sell the loquats."

Grandpa Li thought to himself, "At this price, there's no way these peaches will sell."

Oh, this child still hasn't had much life experience.

You'll know when she tries it.

Seeing her persistence, Grandpa Li stopped persuading her.

"Alright, I'll head out first then. Give me a call when you get back."

"Okay."

After Li Grandma left, the nearby stall owners saw the price she wrote and kindly advised her to change it, not to sell it so expensively.

The vendor across the street advised her, “Little sister, is this your first time selling loquats Now the loquats at fruit stores are only around 7 yuan a kilogram.”

"That price won't sell."

"Hey~ Is this a loquat from Uehara Village"

That aunt noticed the "Urayama" written on top of her head, and her expression became even more strange. "Little girl, weren't you tricked by someone"

"The loquats of Ueno village"

Just now when that middle-aged man said Yang Fan stole money, he turned his head and glanced over. He really looked like the inscription on a plate of Uji peaches: "Uji Village Peaches." He said, "Little girl, don't sell them. The peaches from Uji Village are so bad, even dogs won't eat them. Who would buy them"

A few characters of "Shangyuan Village" caught the attention of the people around it.

The fact that Shangyuan Village grows nothing edible is common knowledge throughout the entire town.

There were even people selling loquats from Yuáncūn, priced at fifty yuan per jin. People around looked at Yang Fan as if he was an idiot.

"Little girl, weren't you deceived How did you get those from the original village to sell"

"Yeah, you were deceived by someone."

Facing the public's questioning and disdain, Yang Fan was not annoyed. She gave each of the stall owners around her a persimmon.

"You guys all try it, after you try it, you definitely won't believe how cheap I'm selling it for."

Yang Fan peeled and ate a peach himself.

Once you peel the loquat, its sweet fragrance fills the air immediately. Just by smelling it, you know this loquat is perfect.

Looking at Yang Fan eating the loquat, he seemed to be enjoying it very much.

People around looked at me, and I at them, then peeled open this loquat and took a bite.

I have to say, this loquat looks really good. It's big and round.

The uncle beside Yang Fan said, "I'd like to see how delicious this apricot worth fifty yuan a jin really is."

Once the skin was peeled and a bite taken, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

This loquat is so delicious!

The texture was delicate, the flavor was fresh and juicy, this was the best loquat they had ever eaten!

A large peach was eaten in two bites, and everyone’s expression lingered with a hint of aftertaste.

"Little girl, is this really a loquat from Shangyuan Village"

The uncle next to me didn't seem to believe it. "This delicious loquat is from Uehara Village"

Yang Fan nodded. "Well, this is loquat from my home. I live in Shangyuan Village."

Everyone was astonished again. It turned out that Ueno Village had such delicious loquats!

"Didn't they say that no edible things grow in the village of Shangyuan"

"Well, people all say there's nothing wrong with the land, it's just maybe the timing isn't right."

"That's right."

Older generations tend to believe in more mystical things. They quickly found a reason for the lack of crops in Shangyuan Village: it's because nothing grows there that shouldn't.

"Although this loquat is delicious, the price is a bit too high."

The old man beside him looked a little heartbroken, "Fifty yuan per catty, this is not something ordinary people can afford."

"Yes, yes, yes, little sister. Sell it to us cheaper, we'll buy some."

"You're selling this for so much, who can afford it!"

Fruits that cost fifty yuan per kilogram are too expensive for people in this small town, whose average monthly income is only around two thousand yuan.

Fifty yuan is enough for a family of three to buy groceries for a day.

Yang Fan remained silent. Fifty yuan per kilogram for fruit imbued with spiritual energy was a fair price, he thought.

That might be a bit pricey for an economically disadvantaged town, though.

She pondered for a moment, then took out her own brush pen and revised some prices.

Shangyuan Village premium loquats: fifty yuan for two kilograms, thirty yuan per kilogram.h energy and time, so they could only pick this much.Xiao Lin filled the Mulberry bag with things all by herself. Inside, there were not only loquats but also some other kinds of fruit.Each of them ha...
