Chapter 1202 Late on the second day
The woman who spoke was waiting for the mall to open for more than two hours. Last night she was hooked by the vegetables that her husband brought for her however her husband did not have enough money and only brought a little when the woman found out she was really upset.
Thus she came to line up as she wanted to make sure that the stock wouldn't run out.
" Haha but what can we do? The boss knows that we cannot possibly go back to the vegetables and meat that are sold outside now that we have tasted hers?" One of the women spoke up with a light chuckle.
" Thats right, the boss has the right to be lazy. After all, no one can copy her unless we want to buy the vegetables sold by the other vendors we can only wait," tittered another woman lightly.
" How can we even think of going back to the vendors? Not only are they unscrupulous enough to raise the price the second they know that the price of grains has increased but they also sell us rotten and unsanitary vegetables.
The last time I brought a head of cabbage from the local vendor, he sold it for three taels and when I went back home, I found more than one yellow leaf inside the head and there were so many bugs as well."
" I know right? They think that just because there is a shortage they can make use of this opportunity to the max. It's as if they will never need to sell vegetables in the town ever again."
" Compared to that Miss Yu's vegetables are much more reasonable and they have a very delectable fragrance and unforgettable taste. I don't know how the meat and rice taste because my money was all used up by the time I bought vegetables."
" Oh, you don't have to even question it. Just buy it with ease, the meat was really soft it almost melted on my tongue! Gosh, I cannot even describe how good it tasted."
" And the rice, it left me so energised that I felt like I could work all day long."
" I really want to know how Miss Yu raises her vegetables and livestock, it's really surprising that her stock is so different from everyone else. Even the bread and jam that she sells tastes exceptional."
Because Yu Dong's stock was indeed different than the rest many people were curious about her methods.
One of the women hummed and then nodded, " You are right. I used to get a bad back every morning and it hurt a lot but this morning I did not feel anything wrong. I was not only comfortable but I also felt energetic."
" Oh my, you too? I was wondering why the wound on my back was not hurting anymore, mind you the wound I received while working for Yamen is rather deep and it always hurts when I am stressed but it didn't hurt today." Experience more on empire
" My daughter gets sick easily, she was born with a weak stomach and every time she eats something her stomach aches but she can eat Miss Yu's stock with ease. It's really a miracle."
Since Yu Dong was not at the mall, the customers decided to share their experience and pass the time. When Yuan Jiayi heard the customers he also agreed with them, he pulled Qian Lai with him and then started to gossip with relish. As he no longer felt angry and upset for no reason, he was much happier and relaxed than he was before.
" I just hope that Miss Yu will not be targeted by someone malicious," said a mer worriedly. " With her selling the commoners and the officials' food reserves that are much cheaper than what is sold outside, I think that many people will target her."
" Haha, they need to think twice before even making a move on Miss Yu. She is backed up by not only Magistrate Li but she is also backed by Marquis Qiao and Madam Song. Anyone who wants to target her would have to think twice before making a move."
Though the three women had their own differences, after seeing the success of the mall decided to buy a fair share of the mall. At the same time, they spread the news that the mall was backed by the three of them even Geng Gengjin and Madam Mo also showed their favour to Yu Dong which was enough to push the ill will targeted towards Yu Dong away.
Just as they were going to dig even more sounds of a four-horse carriage echoed in the street.
" Isn't that Miss Yu?"
" Oh it is Miss Yu! Look at the amount of boxes inside the carriages."
Yu Dong who told Yu Tong that there wouldn't be a large crowd in front of her mall was stunned. She looked at the sky and was sure that it was indeed a bit later than she expected to open the shop but was it so late that such a big crowd was gathered in front of the mall?
However, there was a reason why she was late. She would have come earlier if not for Second Aunt Yu causing trouble for her and Yu Tong. It was because of her that she was late like this.
After Yu Dong stepped down from the carriage with a box of rice sacks, many women gathered around her. They all looked at her and then said with a light teasing voice,
" Miss Yu, where were you? We thought that we were going to stay in the sun for the entire day."
" Thats right, Miss Yu. We have been waiting for more than three hours."
" Boss Yu, you can't be so relaxed every day… if this goes on then all of us will get tanned. If our wives dislike us later on we are going to complain to you," one of the mers chortled causing Yu Dong to become slightly embarrassed.
" I am really sorry something came up… I really did not want to be this late. I even woke up on time and everything," Yu Dong apologized with a smile.
