Chapter 986: Not willing to hand over free samples" You are going to sell eggs and meat as well?" Qiao Nan was surprised when he heard Ye Liu's words, he looked at the small basket of eggs in Ye Liu's hands and was quite surprised. He thought that the Yu family would only be relying on the vegetables and fruits grown by them to make it big in the town but he never expected that they would one day even think of selling meat and eggs. Yu Dong smiled at Qiao Nan and then calmly said, " I noticed that the butcher shops are very far from this street and many servants have to travel by foot to the butchering streets where the butchers sell meat. This is why I came up with the plan of selling meat and eggs —- don't worry, I will be selling the meat which has been thoroughly cleaned and not open a butcher shop here." The reason there were no butchering shops on this street was that officials lived closer to this street. They did not like the smell of blood and rotten insides of the animals which were butchered and thrown aside because of this the butchering shops were all located at the other end of the town. If an official wanted to buy meat then they would send their servant to the other end of the town where the butchers opened their shops. Thus Yu Dong was certain that she would be able to open her meat and egg shop without a problem. Qiao Nan frowned and then asked, " But what about the freshness? If you butcher a hen then how are you going to keep the freshness of the meat until you arrive at the town?" " This is our family's secret Master Qiao but we will tell you the truth," Chen Mi smiled at Qiao Nan and then stated, " My wife opened a butcher shop on the butchering street, all the meat will be butchered there before being cleaned and sent to our shop. You wouldn't even have to worry about blood because our butchers will clean the meat so well that you will not find a speck of blood on the meat that you want to purchase." " Wouldn't that be too much of a work for your family?" Old Master Shi spoke suddenly as he turned to look at Yu Dong. " Little girl, you shouldn't work so hard even if you were to send meat and eggs to the butchering street we would still buy it from you." " Old Master Shi, you are way too kind," Yu Dong smiled as she added another handful of strawberries to his and Qiao Nan's packages. " We are here to serve our customers to the best of our ability, so of course I will make sure that the meat sold by our shop will be as fresh as it can be." She paused and added, " We will be only selling one thing at a time and the meat in the shop will be changed every hour if it is not fresh anymore, we will change it without anyone bringing the matter up." The truth was that Yu Dong only opened that shop on the butchering street because she wanted to hand Elder Chen sister some work to do and earn some extra money along with her younger sister. With her space, she did not need to even bother about travelling back and forth, she was only doing this such that no one would find any fault in her disguise or anything else.
When Old Master Shi and Qiao Nan heard Yu Dong's words, their impression of her got even better. Compared to many butchers who sold the same meat in the afternoon that they cut in the morning, Yu Dong's hard work was commendable.
Thus, Qiao Nan nodded and then said, " Very well, you can hand me those eggs and chicken breast, I will cook them today." Just now he noticed that there was a large piece of chicken breast in the basket as well most probably Ye Liu thought that he would not take the chicken breast which was why he only asked him to take the eggs. When Ye Liu heard that Qiao Nan was willing to take the chicken breast with him, he did not hold back and handed Qiao Nan a generous amount of meat and eggs to take back. While the Yu family's shop was filled with customers, Peng Jing was sitting on pins and needles. She couldn't understand what was going on but no customer even looked in her direction, seeing her anxious like this one of the basket sellers laughed at her and then said, " You are two months late," she told him with a gleeful smile. " Before you, more than one vegetable seller announced that they were selling the vegetables sold by the Yu family at a lower price. They managed to snatch some of the Bo and Bun shop's customers only to be beaten up later on as their vegetables were not as good as the Yu family's!" Peng Jing heard the words of the basket seller and her heart turned cold, she forgot that the other vegetable sellers must have used this tactic to sell their vegetables to the customers. But even so, she did not let her confidence waver as she muttered, " I am different from those vegetable sellers. I live in the same village as Yu Dong and her husbands, how hard do you think it is for me to figure out their secret? I have used their secret formula to grow these vegetables so of course, I am better than those vegetable sellers." When she spoke she did not lower her voice at all attracting the attention of the pedestrians. They stopped and looked at the vegetables that were sold by Peng Jing before pondering whether or not to buy —— some were willing to buy after hearing the price but wanted to take a bite of the samples. This was something that Peng Jing did not expect and thus refused, when the customers saw that she was not willing to hand them samples, one of them couldn't help but say, " You say that your vegetables are similar to Yu family shop then why won't you hand over the free samples for taste?" n0VELUSB.C0M
