Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1074 Limited Purchases_1 Chapter 1275: Chapter 1074 Limited Purchases_1 Lady Wang’s tone that was neither soft nor hard made Wang Chang choke for a moment. He snorted, slammed down his chopsticks forcefully, and exclaimed, “Ungrateful!”

After dropping those four words, he stood up and left.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, held her breath, and stood still, not daring to move.

Lady Wang, as if she hadn’t noticed, walked over warmly and took hold of her arm, “Come on, come on, let’s eat. After we finish eating, we’ll go visit others.”

“But father, he…”

“Never mind him, he’s just a hypocrite.” Lady Wang smiled and handed her the chopsticks, “Let’s eat.”

Wang Chang was a scholar who always considered himself superior and looked down on Zhuang Luhe, and by extension, had little regard for Qiao Xiaomai as well.

Therefore, he often showed disdain for her close relationship with Qiao Xiaomai.

But he never stopped her.

Ultimately, Wang Chang’s mentality was that he disdained Qiao Xiaomai, yet he also intended to “cling to her coattails.”

How hypocritical.

How disgusting.

Those coattails were secured by her, and since Wang Chang didn’t care for them, she would not cater to him.

“My good daughter, let’s eat. Don’t worry about your father. Shopkeeper Hong has sent over twenty watermelons this time. We’ll deliver them later. By the way, how are the watermelons at Jiwei House selling?”

Lady Wang didn’t bring up Wang Chang, and Wang Yuan also shifted her attention, “I came back early, so I don’t know how well they sold, but the watermelon does taste good. I was willing to pay fifty-eight taels of silver for it.”

“That settles it then,” Lady Wang laughed, “In a few days, when Jiwei House’s watermelons have made a name for themselves, everyone will know just how precious those two watermelons from Qiao Xiaomai are.”

After lunch, Lady Wang took Wang Yuan out.

All those who bought Floral Dew with her were close to her; there was no need to notify them in advance for a visit–it was sufficient to just go directly by carriage.

She ran through several households in one afternoon. At each one, she made sure to praise Qiao Xiaomai thoroughly and bring up the premium watermelons from Jiwei House, while casually rallying a few people to advertise more for Qiao Xiaomai, ensuring that all the ladies of Capital City would go to her to buy Floral Dew.

The effectiveness of Qiao Xiaomai’s Floral Dew could be seen with the naked eye, it really did rejuvenate the skin, and with such results supporting it, there was no fear of no buyers.

Thus, with a few people intentionally promoting it, many ladies were tempted.

At the same time, Jiwei House’s premium watermelons also gained fame.

Most of those who dined in the Private Rooms at Jiwei House were not short of fifty-eight taels silver, and with the brand name of Qiao Xiaomai displayed there, many ordered a portion.

Upon trying it, they were astounded.

The crisp and sweet taste was surely something one could only experience in heaven?

So delicious that it was almost unbelievable!

By noon that day, nearly a thousand jin of watermelon were sold, and many people even expressed their intent to buy a few to take home.

This level of popularity surpassed all other novel items from the past.

Shopkeeper Hong made a swift decision: limit purchases.

Each table was only allowed to buy one portion, and no more.

Given the current situation, the several thousand jin of watermelons could sell out by noon today, but that would not do–they needed to maintain the buzz, to attract as many customers as possible to spend at Jiwei House.

He had to make those several thousand jin of watermelons last until the end of summer.

Watermelons were now being rationed, and moreover, a serving was only three taels, which could be consumed in a few bites, before one could even savor the flavor!

Many people went to Shopkeeper Hong to protest, and each one of them was a person of status. Shopkeeper Hong dared not offend any of them, and, under pressure, he increased the portion size to half a jin.

It could not be more. The watermelons’ weight was already significant due to the rinds.

Absolutely no more.
