She reached out a hand and pinched him, “You’re one to talk!”
“We’re in for a long journey, so if I don’t make conversation, then how can I relieve your boredom?” Ye Liu hadn’t felt any pain at all when Liu Duo pinched him. Instead, he wrapped her up even more tightly.
Along the way, Ye Liu kept teasing Liu Duo, causing a bit of laughter and fury here and there. When they reached town, they found a strategic spot at a crowded area, and the brothers began to unload the wooden barrels from the cart.
Liu Duo brought the stools down and placed the pots filled with bamboo shoots on top of them.
With everything ready, she left the peddling to Ye Liu. She hadn’t done it before, and she didn’t know how. She would just be in charge of collecting the money.
Ye Liu made eyes at Liu Duo and said, “Alright, Little Duo, prepare to be mesmerized!”
He cleared his throat and began shouting, “Come one, come all! Don’t miss out on the freshest, least bitter bamboo shoots you’ve ever tasted! Try it before you buy it! I guarantee that you’ll love it!”
Ye Liu’s calls attracted shoppers up and down the streets. Women and young ladies all came to gather around their spot. They were either drawn by the bamboo shoots, or attracted by Ye Liu’s appearance!
One lady asked shyly, “Are you sure these bamboo shoots aren’t bitter?”
“I was thinking the same thing. Normally we don’t even like bamboo shoots, but you’re actually selling them?”
“…”
Since someone had asked this question, the crowd that gathered began to talk amongst themselves.
“Hey, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! If we can sell them, of course they have been processed. Why else would we bring them to market? We wouldn’t take you for fools, would we?”
“The main thing is, if we don’t do it right, the bamboo shoots will be bitter anyway. My wife fried these, and you can have a taste before you buy them, to see if you find them worthy.”
Liu Duo could take a hint. She immediately passed around the thin bamboo sticks, which they had prepared earlier, to the crowd for them to taste her product.
Those who did not believe Ye Liu took the sticks, poked them through the bamboo shoots, and took a bite.
Then, each one of them nodded, “It’s true! It’s not bitter at all. It tastes really good.”
“Indeed! It’s crispy, refreshing, and quite delicious!”
“…”
The crowd praised the wonderful dish.
“Mister, how much do they sell for?” A woman asked. She quite loved it.
The smile that spread across his face was like a breath of fresh air as he chuckled, “Ten wen per jin, miss. It’s not too expensive, best to buy them while they’re fresh. After all, we’re the only ones selling bamboo shoots that aren’t bitter!”
Liu Duo wanted to give him several punches for that flirty smile on his face. He would smile at anyone, and she didn’t like it! She felt his charisma should be reserved only for her!
It was not known whether the people really wanted to buy the bamboo shoots or they were bewitched by Ye Liu’s charm. They scrambled to purchase the products, and most of them were women!
“Everyone, please pass your money to my wife. She’s in charge of the finances,” Ye Liu said as he accepted someone’s payment.
“Wow, you’re not only handsome, but you’re such a wonderful husband. That fool in my house wouldn’t dream about letting me handle the money!”
“Seriously! Mine too!”
The married women sang praises of Ye Liu’s wisdom. Meanwhile, the unmarried ladies peeked at him shyly, hoping that their future husbands could be as caring as he was.
Ye Mo helped by the sidelines. He didn’t say a word, but quite a number of young ladies stole a look at him too.
