Chapter 61: Fifty gold coins
"But what is that on your bag, Mrs. Hughes?" Mrs. Tani asked, her eyes glued to the bag where she could see a kiwi peeking through the opening of the bag.
Coco perked up when she remembered why she went to Magia Pierre in the first place, "Oh! I was thinking of selling these fruits to you! Well, if you don’t mind that is— would you like to buy these fresh batches?"
"Make sure she will pay so many gold coins for it, Coco!" The garden fairy squealed, flying all over the place, buzzing with excitement.
"May I see what kind of fruits you brought back this time?" The merchant politely requested to which Coco nodded her head to and pick up the bag and placed it on the table so Mrs. Tani would have to go to the trouble of doing it herself.
The woman before Coco opened the bag to look at the fruits hiding inside.
The first thing she saw was how the oranges looked succulent, sweet, and ripe, not to mention, she was hit with a fragrant citrus scent caused by the peel, making her mouth water and peel one to try the fruit’s freshness.
However, knowing Coco Hughes, she already knows that the fruits are as fresh as they can be.
Her eyes moved to the grapes— the small yet juicy berries with a thin skin and soft, fruity flesh are small and plump. Just looking at it, Mrs. Tani knows that it would be a sweet treat, filled with fruity goodness.
The kiwi, on the other hand, is a small, fuzzy treasure, hiding its sweet and tart treasures beneath its fuzzy coat of skin. Both ripe and plump, its flesh is juicy and refreshing, a delectable surprise for a strange looking fruit.
