Chapter 111: I Need to See for Myself Whether It's Good or Not

The woman and the vegetable stall owner were reluctantly making a deal, with the stall owner already holding the copper coins in his hand.

“Go away, go away. A girl who hasn’t even fully grown a single hair, what are you causing trouble for here? Can’t you see that the lady and I are doing business?”

Having received the money, the stall owner didn’t pay much attention to Gu Xiaoyao trying to snatch business here. Besides, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t. He had traded with this woman many times before; no matter how harshly she spoke, she always ended up buying vegetables from his stall.

“Aren’t you done with your business? I’m negotiating with the lady now, and that’s perfectly fine.”

“Madam, are you interested?!”

Though Gu Xiaoyao’s face showed little expression, her tone carried immense confidence.

The woman glanced suspiciously at Gu Xiaoyao after the stall owner finished counting the money and stood up, thinking she was just bluffing.

“If you really have premium vegetables, don’t joke here. I’ve been up and down this street countless times and haven’t seen anything of the sort.”

“If you truly have them, I would definitely buy. After all, I’m the chef of the Chen residence and hold the purchasing rights.”

Since she didn’t take Gu Xiaoyao’s words to heart, the woman only said this casually.

Gu Xiaoyao, of course, knew she didn’t believe her, but once she brought out the goods, there’d be no denying it.

“Alright, in three days, I will bring the vegetables to the market. Madam, you must come and see for yourself.”

The woman saw her confidence and her skepticism wavered. She thought, if this girl could actually bring better vegetables, she would certainly buy them.

“Fine, I come to the market every day looking for fresh vegetables. When you have them, bring them directly here. I’ll come find you.”

The stall owner felt uneasy and his face darkened upon hearing this. He thought Gu Xiaoyao was here to sabotage his stall.

“Alright, in three days, I will definitely come to meet the lady’s appointment.”

A slight smile appeared on Gu Xiaoyao’s usually expressionless face.

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded sternly and then left with her maid.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you know business is first come, first served? How dare you steal business from my stall? Get lost, get lost!”

The stall owner rolled up his sleeves and stood up, scolding harshly, feeling Gu Xiaoyao had no manners whatsoever.

“Is there a first come, first served rule in business? You’ve already finished your deal with her. I was just making a remark—what’s wrong with that?”

Gu Xiaoyao shot him a cold glare filled with killing intent. The stall owner, who had been ready to curse more, suddenly felt a chill all over and, seeing her eyes, dared not say another word.

Some other stall owners nearby joined in, feeling that as long as business was done, there was no problem with someone else speaking up.

“Old Liu, the young lady was only asking a question. Why are you so worked up?”

“Yeah, yeah, don’t scare the young lady. Business is all about skill. If you don’t have the skill and the girl steals your business, then you only have yourself to blame!”

Vegetable sellers in the market, naturally competitive, were mostly still trying to sell their goods, whereas Old Liu’s vegetables had already been sold out.

Seeing that he no longer spewed insults or paid her any mind, Gu Xiaoyao left the market and went to the grocery store with her money, buying two bags of soybeans.
