It was a pity that the moment he opened his mouth, the impression people had of him plummeted.
Without much thought, Zheng Wei knew this must be a spoiled brat.
Most importantly, this was undoubtedly a lackey who always followed Marshal Wu.
Marshal Wu frowned slightly upon hearing what the man said, his tone tinged with displeasure. "Huang Shan, if you don't come, no one will ask you to. I speak politely to people, yet in your mouth, they become vegetable peddlers? Do you believe that after today, even if you beg to buy, you won't be able to?"
Huang Shan had been following Marshal Wu for a long time. Hearing Marshal Wu speak like this, he knew that Marshal Wu was definitely angry.
Although he still scoffed inwardly at Marshal Wu's words, he respectfully replied that he did.
How could Marshal Wu not know what he was thinking? But he didn't intend to explain further.
"Young Master Zheng, has everything been prepared inside yet? You know, my father is waiting at home for these vegetables to eat."
After the previous incident, Zheng Wei's impression of Marshal Wu improved a little.
While they were talking, Shen Xiaoyan and a few others had already cleared away their bowls and chopsticks and came into the courtyard together.
In the open space of the courtyard, large bamboo baskets were placed.
Each bamboo basket was filled with all sorts of immortal vegetables.
When Marshal Wu and his entourage followed Zheng Wei into the courtyard and saw this scene, each of them opened their mouths in astonishment.
They truly hadn't expected immortal vegetables to be sold this way.
Marshal Wu was stunned for a long time before he pointed a trembling finger at the immortal vegetables on the ground and asked, "You, you're selling immortal vegetables like this?"
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Marshal Wu strangely, "Is there something wrong with selling them like this? You're not thinking they're dirty, are you? These bamboo baskets are all new and very clean."
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan's words, Marshal Wu really didn't know what to say.
He wasn't afraid of them being dirty!
The reason immortal vegetables are immortal vegetables is not only because they contain spiritual energy and are delicious, but also because they are not easily contaminated.
Ordinary filth simply cannot contaminate immortal vegetables.
Therefore, there was absolutely no need to worry about them getting dirty in the baskets.
What truly surprised him was that Shen Xiaoyan and the others were simply placing the immortal vegetables in baskets on the ground.
Even though he hadn't grown immortal vegetables himself, he knew that after they were picked, to prevent them from being damaged and their spiritual energy from dissipating, they would be placed in special jade boxes.
He had never encountered so many spiritual vegetables being casually placed on the ground in baskets before.
After hearing Marshal Wu's explanation, Shen Xiaoyan and the others finally understood why he had looked so shocked.
"Young Master Wu, you jest. We poor folk, how could we have fine things like jade boxes? Besides, they are just vegetables, not worth anything that requires such precious jade boxes to store."
Marshal Wu's eyes widened. What more could he say?
Possessing so many immortal vegetables, yet claiming to be poor.
These items, once sold, could probably make them considered wealthy in Yingcheng!
Moreover, what was the value of a jade box?
Could it be compared to these immortal vegetables?
Before Marshal Wu could say anything, Huang Shan had already burst into laughter.
"Truly farmers! They don't even know what immortal vegetables are, to compare them with common things like jade boxes. Their lives are destined to be poor."
As Huang Shan's voice fell, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Zheng Wei's eyes as he looked at him.
This murderous intent flashed and vanished, so Huang Shan didn't see it.
"Huang Shan, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
Marshal Wu directly rebuked him this time.
Having someone like Huang Shan around was a disaster.
Although he had made a firm decision in his heart, Marshal Wu did not show it at the moment.
Nothing else mattered now. What mattered was that he could get some immortal vegetables back first.
After all, his father was waiting at home.
Of course, it was even more important that he himself really wanted to eat them.
If he didn't have to maintain his image and didn't want to chew on raw leaves like a rabbit, he would have already pounced on them.
This self-control, which was already incredibly weak, completely vanished when he saw a basket of brightly colored tomatoes, a basket of green cucumbers, and white sugar buns that glowed faintly white.
What self-control? What image?
None of that mattered. The most important thing was that he could eat one as soon as possible.
If he couldn't eat a whole one, even a single bite to satisfy his craving would be good.
Marshal Wu swallowed and said, "Young Master Zheng, hurry up and name a price."
He truly couldn't wait any longer. If he wasn't allowed to buy soon, he would resort to snatching.
Speaking of price, Zheng Wei said seriously, "The price will be according to the market price in Yingcheng."
Don't think that Zheng Wei was unwilling to ask for a higher price, or that he was deliberately lowering it out of respect for Marshal Wu.
The truth was, none of them knew what a suitable price would be.
Shen Xiaoyan, Zheng Wei, and Lu Taobao were new to the Holy Spirit Continent and knew nothing.
As for Yizixie and Namu Zhong, when they were in the Holy Spirit Continent before, they were never concerned with prices.
Under such circumstances, they genuinely couldn't think of a good price, so they decided to give a vague answer.
By saying this, Marshal Wu and the others would state the price themselves. This would save them trouble and, more importantly, make Marshal Wu feel that they were honest.
Honest people are always welcome everywhere.
Indeed, after hearing Zheng Wei's reply, Marshal Wu's face showed disbelief.
"Young Master Zheng, you're not joking, are you?"
Zheng Wei shook his head with a solemn expression. "How could such a matter be a joke?"
Marshal Wu looked confused. "Then why is the price set so low? In Yingcheng, the market price for immortal vegetables is one yellow crystal coin per jin. But for the quality you have, this price is truly a loss."
Upon hearing Marshal Wu state the price, Zheng Wei and the others exchanged glances, seeing joy in each other's eyes.
One yellow crystal coin per jin! That was not a low price at all!
But seeing Marshal Wu's expression of them losing out, Shen Xiaoyan also felt a pang of heartache.
Had they really set the price too low?
This thought only flashed for a moment.
This was their first time selling spiritual vegetables. If they asked for too high a price and scared everyone away, what would happen in the future?
Despite Marshal Wu exclaiming that it was too cheap, Shen Xiaoyan and the others saw expressions of horror on the faces of the people in the courtyard.
From this situation, it was clear they thought it was too expensive.
After all, not everyone had a rich and powerful father like Marshal Wu.
Obviously, Marshal Wu also recovered his senses after a short while.
"Hahaha, Young Master Zheng is truly an honest person. This price is truly affordable."
Seeing him smile happily, Shen Xiaoyan also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then Young Master Wu should buy more."
Marshal Wu nodded vigorously. "There's no need for madam to say that, I will naturally buy more."
