Chapter 108: The Wonders of Spiritual Spring Water
At that moment, Sun Mei happened to overhear. She was an avid reader of novels and had a vivid imagination. Thus, connecting it to the Spiritual Spring water in Zhao Zhitong’s space, she recalled many novel plots where spiritual spring water could strengthen the body.
Perhaps the plants watered with Spiritual Spring water could also have body-strengthening effects.
She then considered that they had been in this world for so long without falling ill even once, not even catching a cold.
So, without batting an eye, she started making things up, "We’ve been growing medicinal herbs in our vegetable field for many years. The soil has retained the medicinal properties of the herbs, and the vegetables absorbed these properties, turning into medicinal vegetables that can strengthen the body. However, our vegetable field is rather small, so it might not be enough to supply all your shops."
Hearing his wife spin such a wild tale, Zhao Dong’s eyebrows nearly flew off his forehead. But when he caught her eye, he immediately smiled and chimed in, "Yes, that’s right, Brother Wang."
After hearing Sun Mei’s explanation, Wang Fuhai thought to himself, The sensation of my body being revitalized must be genuine, yet I can’t be entirely certain.
So he said, "It doesn’t matter if there’s not much. A small amount each month will do. Why don’t you sell me one today? I’ll take it back for my master to examine."
What he really wanted was to return and verify whether the vegetables truly had body-strengthening effects.
This put Zhao Dong and Sun Mei in a bit of a bind.
The main issue was, they didn’t know what price to set for the vegetables. Setting a high price now seemed inappropriate. But if they set a low price and later discovered the vegetables could fetch a premium, it would be awkward to raise the price then.
Just then, Zhao Zhitong suddenly ran in, clutching a cabbage. She approached Wang Fuhai, handed him the cabbage, and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "Uncle Wang, it’s such a rare pleasure to have you visit! Mommy, Daddy, and I are so happy. Please accept this cabbage as a small token to commemorate our new cooperation.
After you return, you can discuss it with your master. Then you can come back to us to buy vegetables, how about that?"
