Lin Yuan munched on a cucumber joyously on the stage, amused at the sight of Lao Fan drooling with envy from afar.
She knew that the vegetables, once presented, were bound to shock everyone.
Especially since she could eat and drink as she pleased, utterly unconcerned whether there would be enough cucumbers left for the upcoming competition.

Xia Zheng responded with a hooked smile and, in perfect understanding, nodded his head before gesturing towards Xiao He and the others who were already prepared: "Go ahead!"
The crowd was unaware of the silent riddle between Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng, but before they had the chance to speculate, the answer appeared before their eyes.

These men placed the trays at the front of the spectator area, and beneath each type of vegetable, they hung a little sign.
Written boldly on the signs were the words "One tael per catty," enlightening the audience that the vegetables were for sale right there!
