Chapter 9

Old Madam Ye's culinary skills were trained. With the addition of fresh pig offal, the pot of porridge was fragrant.

In the past, Ye Jinxiu was very particular about being 70% full and 80% full. However, once she ate the porridge, she couldn't stop herself. She completely forgot about her health.

She held the big bowl and ate bowl after bowl of porridge.

After swallowing the last mouthful of porridge, Ye Jinxiu wiped the corners of his mouth and turned to ask, "Are you full?"

Hong Feng nodded. She was very full. This was the first time she had experienced the feeling of being stuffed.

Ye Jinxiu was about to clear the dishes when Old Madam Ye rushed into the house and stopped Ye Jinxiu. She smiled and said, "Miss Xiuxiu, please rest. Don't worry and leave the dishes to me."

Old Madam Ye was very persistent. Ye Jinxiu was used to enjoying life with her nouveau riche father. Now that someone was fighting to wash the dishes, she hesitated for less than a second and quickly gave in.

"Granny Ye, thank you for your hard work."

She held Old Madam Ye's hand and said sincerely.

Old Madam Ye was very excited. It was as if she had picked up gold. She was so happy that she couldn't find her bearings.

Her Miss Xiuxiu finally used her. This meant that she was not old yet. She was still willing to do anything for her Miss' family!

Although it was already a modern society, she had been indebted to Madam and Miss since she was young. If she didn't repay their kindness, she would not be happy for the rest of her life.

Old Madam Ye was not willing to be a servant. She was repaying their kindness.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I like to wash the dishes."

Old Madam Ye quickly cleared the dishes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Jinxiu touched the tip of his nose and sighed inwardly. It was so enjoyable to be a capitalist!

"Hong Feng, let's go for a walk."

Walk after a meal and live to 99 years old.

Ye Jinxiu ate too much all at once and felt a little uncomfortable from being stuffed.

"Cousin, where are we going?"

Ye Jinxiu brought Hong Feng out of the house and headed east.

There were no fields or land in the east, only endless mountains.

Hong Feng did not know where Ye Jinxiu was taking her, so she could not help but ask.

Other people took a walk for real, but Ye Jinxiu had his own agenda for taking a walk.

Although the east side was filled with mountains, as the saying goes, those who rely on the mountains live off the mountains and those who rely on the rivers live off the rivers. A place with many mountains also meant that there were more opportunities to make money.

In order to complete the mission given by the system, Ye Jinxiu was all about money. How could she let go of the opportunity to make a fortune?

It just so happened that her family's pomelo tree was at the foot of the mountain in the east. She was taking a walk this time to digest her food and to check the yield of her family's pomelo tree.

"You'll know when you get there."

Ye Jinxiu's reply was concise and comprehensive. Hong Feng was a feisty person to begin with, and Ye Jinxiu treated her well, so she couldn't help but have a little temper.

She shook Ye Jinxiu's hand and said, "Cousin, just tell me ~"

Ye Jinxiu knocked on her head. His whole body trembled at Hong Feng's witty words. He was tired but happy at the same time and said, "Ahem, let's go make a fortune."

Hong Feng was confused. Didn't they say they were taking a walk? Why did it have to do with making a fortune?

Was she too stupid and unable to understand her cousin's intentions?

At this time, Hong Feng still did not know. It was not that she was stupid, but that Ye Jinxiu's brain was wired differently from others.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Jinxiu saw his family's pomelo tree.

The pomelo tree was ten years old. It was thick and tall, probably more than ten meters tall.

Ye Jinxiu walked to the bottom of the tree, rolled up his sleeves, and tried to climb the tree.

The pomelo tree's trunk was straight, and its bark was covered with moss. It was slippery and very difficult to climb.

Even though Ye Jinxiu had five years of climbing experience, he could not do anything about his family's pomelo tree.

Hong Feng followed, blinked, and asked, "Cousin, do you want to pick a pomelo?"

"Yes, but the tree is too tall. I can't climb it."

Hong Feng's eyes were astonishingly bright. She said eagerly, "Sister, I can climb it."

In her excitement, she called Ye Jinxiu Sister and omitted the word 'Tang'.

After calling her Tang, Hong Feng felt refreshed. She felt that she should have called Ye Jinxiu Sister instead of her cousin.

Ye Jinxiu glanced at Hong Feng and then at the pomelo tree. "Forget it."

The tree was too tall. If Hong Feng could not climb down, she would not dare to go up and save her.

Hong Feng was a persistent person. While Ye Jinxiu was not paying attention, she hugged the tree trunk and climbed up the first branch of the pomelo tree.

The first branch of the pomelo tree was five meters above the ground. When the wind blew, the leaves on the branch rustled.

Hong Feng's mind was filled with the words' picking a pomelo '. She climbed up the second branch quickly. At this time, she was nearly six meters above the ground.

Ye Jinxiu was frightened. He hurriedly said, "Hong Feng, be careful!"

Hong Feng was really bold. She climbed the tree without saying a word.

"Sister, which one do you want? I'll pick it for you."

Hong Feng was used to climbing trees. Even if she was six meters above the ground, she was not afraid at all.

She stretched out her long arms and felt around. She was determined to pick the biggest pomelo for Ye Jinxiu.

Ye Jinxiu saw Hong Feng holding a finger-sized branch with one hand and hooking it forward with the other. Half of her body was swaying. He was so scared that his heart was pounding. He said anxiously, "I want that one. The one beside your hand!"

"Sister, this is too small. I'll pick the biggest one for you."

Ye Jinxiu wanted to hit this brat.

"I just want that one. I don't want anything else!"

Hong Feng wanted to say something, but Ye Jinxiu said, "Be good, Hong Feng. Listen to me. Pick the one beside your hand. I like that one."

Seeing Ye Jinxiu's insistence, Hong Feng pouted. She twisted the pomelo in her hand and climbed down the tree with it. She presented the pomelo to Ye Jinxiu as if she was presenting a treasure.

Ye Jinxiu took a deep breath. He took the pomelo and said as gently as he could, "Hong Feng, you're the best. But Hong Feng, we're girls. Don't climb trees so casually in the future."

If Hong Feng had to climb a tree barehanded again, her heart would probably stop.

Hong Feng looked at Ye Jinxiu blankly. "Why?"

Ye Jinxiu rubbed Ye Jinxiu's head. "Because it's dangerous. Be good and listen to me. We have other ways to pick the pomelo. There's no need to climb trees."

She looked up. The pomelo tree was thicker than she had imagined. There were at least a thousand pomelos on the tree.

"Let's go. Let's find someone to pick them."

Yeh family village was full of naughty children. They were the best people to pick the pomelo.

"Daniu, I have a job here. Do you want to do it?"

Daniu was 13 years old this year. She had been impatient with studying since she was young. She stopped studying after she graduated from primary school.

Daniu looked at Ye Jinxiu. "What job?"

Ye Jinxiu pointed to the east. "Pick pomelo. I'll give you one centimeter for each one."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Daniu raised her hand and shouted twice. Soon, ten or so teenagers came over. They surrounded Daniu and waited for Daniu's instructions.

They were all Daniu's underlings. They had followed Daniu up the mountain and down the river since they were young.

Daniu pointed at Ye Jinxiu and said, "Miss Xiuxiu asked us to pick pomelo. We'll give her one centimeter for each one."

Someone asked, "Are you serious?"

Ye Jinxiu took out 50 cents and waved it. He smiled and said, "I'm serious."

The ten or so children gathered in a circle and whispered. After they finished, Daniu asked, "When do we pick? How many do we need?"

Ye Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "We'll pick today. We'll pick a hundred first. But we can't pick them on the tree. We have to pick them on the ground."

Daniu agreed readily. Then, he led his underlings to pick the pomelo.

The teenagers did not have any other skills, but their ability to pick fruits was top-notch.

Ye Jinxiu asked them not to go up the tree, so they did not go up the tree.

Daniu led his underlings to cut ten or so bamboo poles that were about ten meters long. They tied the bamboo poles together with hemp rope and tied a chopper to one end of the bamboo pole. Then, they used the bamboo poles to pick the pomelo.

Needless to say, this was a very good trick. In less than half a day, they had picked a hundred pomelo.

Ye Jinxiu gave them 10 cents without hesitation. Daniu and the others took the money and left happily.

Ye Jinxiu carried the pomelo into the house, closed the door, and quickly put the pomelo into the Taobao shop.

She priced the pomelo at a very high price. She sold them one by one for 30 yuan.

Modern.

Steamed Pork Powder was a writer for Jinjiang Web. She accidentally clicked on the main page of Sifang Delicacies. The moment she saw the picture of the pomelo, she was stunned.

30 yuan for one pomelo?

Did she see wrongly or did the shop owner write the wrong number?

Steamed Pork Powder rubbed her eyes. Then, she clicked on the purchase page of the pomelo.

She did not see wrongly. This shop really sold one pomelo for 30 yuan!

Oh my god, did the pomelo in this shop fall from the sky? How could it be so expensive?

She returned to the Taobao page and searched for the word "pomelo". Soon, all kinds of pomelo appeared on the page. Looking from top to bottom, the shop with the best sales was selling seven pomelo for 30 yuan. The ones with less sales were selling four or five for 30 yuan.

After browsing through all the shops, only Sifang Delicacies dared to sell one pomelo for 30 yuan.

Why was Sifang Delicacies so expensive? Could it be that the pomelo in this shop had celestial energy?

As a god-level writer, Steamed Pork Powder's imagination was naturally not ordinary. Recently, she had been deeply addicted to writing Xianxia and Cultivation novels. In less than a few seconds, she had imagined a Xianxia and Cultivation novel based on the price of the pomelo.

For example, the shop owner was a powerful person in the Cultivation World. After a tribulation, he came to modern society and did not want to leave. He bought a mountain to plant celestial fruits and celestial vegetables.

Why did Sifang Delicacies dare to sell them at such a high price?

Because this shop did not sell ordinary pomelo, but celestial pomelo!

With such imagination, Steamed Pork Powder suddenly did not think that the pomelo was expensive. She clicked on the purchase page and placed an order for 50 pomelo without hesitation.

Celestial pomelo was first come, first served. Only a fool would not buy it.

As for why she only bought 50, she thought that the items sold by celestial beings belonged to those who were fated. Since she could click on a celestial being's shop, it meant that she was a fated person.

However, she could not be the only fated person. There had to be others.

She only bought 50 so that she could leave the other 50 for other fated people.

After waiting for a few days, the express delivery arrived.

Steamed Pork Powder ordered her brother to go down to collect the express delivery. When the express delivery was brought home, she hurriedly took out a small knife to open the express delivery.

She did not let her brother help her and insisted on opening the express delivery herself.

"Sister, what did you buy? It's so heavy."

Steamed Pork Powder glanced at her brother and said proudly, "These are all treasures. They are celestial fruits."

When the express delivery was opened, the pomelo wrapped in the express delivery was exposed. Steamed Pork Powder's parents and brother were speechless. They could not help but want to slap Steamed Pork Powder to death.

Hehe, celestial fruits?

These lousy pomelo were celestial fruits?

You're lying to a fool!

"Sister, can you stop lying?"
