Chapter 1578 - 1577 Cut Hand Festival_1
This statement left the head of the Xie Family momentarily stunned.
Among those present, he was the least influential, yet Qiao Xiaomai was the first to call his name, and it was for this matter.
To be honest, being able to order his son to rush to the manor to pre-order watermelons first thing proved he was a foodie. In the past few days, he had been staying at home reminiscing about the sweet taste of watermelon. He hadn’t expected what he longed for to come knocking, and Qiao Xiaomai actually brought it up herself!
His spirits lifted, he hurriedly asked, "What’s the price for the watermelon?"
"Fifty taels silver per catty including the rind, the price is firm," Qiao Xiaomai held out five fingers and shook them.
This price was only half of last year’s. Given the current situation, it would be impossible to sell them at last year’s high prices.
This group of nobles had already started to despise her because of those baseless rumors about the Cornucopia, in such a scenario, it was impossible for them to spend last year’s exorbitant prices on watermelons.
Considering this, she would take the initiative to lower the price.
She planned to hold an ancient version of the Cut Hand Festival.
In later generations, every Singles’ Day was a national spree of chopping hands, ecommerce platforms hosting the event saw record-breaking volumes in trade every year. She wasn’t short of money back then, but she’d also join in the fun on that day each year, just to feel the holiday spirit.
Now, finding herself in an alternate world, she could no longer feel the atmosphere of the event. If she wanted to experience it, she would have to hold the Cut Hand Festival herself.
Lay everything out for a clearance sale, selling only for one day, earn as much as possible in that single day.
