Chapter 395: Was one zero omitted?
After finishing the corn, Lord Xueye took the two to an ice cream shop.
Then, the three of them each had a fruit drink and a cup of popcorn, and happily began to enjoy their meal.
"Huh? They even have fruit?" At this moment, Hozuki Castle Lord Mizuki suddenly looked at a fruit shop, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, and quickly rushed inside.
Inside the shop, colorful fruits are displayed on each shelf.
There were bright red apples, golden pears, hawthorns, cherries, and more...
Moreover, they were all polished until shiny, making them look delicious.
Hozuki Castle has no shortage of water, so Suigetsu tried cultivating plants, vegetables, fruit trees, etc...
However, because Ghost Lantern Castle is located in a cave, it is perpetually shrouded in darkness.
Although there is no shortage of water, there is a lack of sunlight! Plants and vegetables still cannot survive.
"Is Dragon City really willing to put these fruits up for sale?" The Sunset City Lord looked on in surprise and followed him inside. He tentatively asked, "Aren't you afraid someone will steal them?"
Sunset City is located deep in the mountains, and people there rarely eat fruit.
The wild fruits that were hard to find were mostly sour and astringent, making them almost impossible to swallow.
However, the fruits in Longcheng look so delicious and tempting that they make your mouth water.
His desire for these fruits once again gave him the urge to snatch them.
But soon, he remembered the scene of being suppressed by Xiao Yu before, and instantly gave up the idea.
Moreover, what's on display at the stalls now might actually be available for purchase?
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing the Sunset City Lord's question, the saleswoman smiled and said, "Would you like some? These fruits are freshly picked and very fresh."
"I didn't expect a new fruit shop to open." City Lord Xueye looked curiously at the fruit shop and stepped forward to ask, "Excuse me, how much does the fruit cost?"
Since arriving in Longcheng, he has accompanied his daughter to the shopping street almost every day.
Buying delicious food and fun activities makes every trip feel like a vacation.
But after visiting so many times, this is the first time I've ever seen a fruit stand.
It's obvious that this store just opened today.
The saleswoman smiled and pointed to the shelves, introducing each item one by one: "Three customers, apples and pears are the same price, 1,000 yuan each. Other fruits are sold by weight; hawthorns are 1,000 yuan per jin, cherries are 800 yuan per jin..."
"What? Did you forget to include a zero? Fruit is so cheap?"
Upon hearing this, all three of them widened their eyes.
Look at these apples and pears, they're ridiculously big, each one must weigh over a pound.
Even if you said you'd sell them for 10,000 each, I could buy a hundred right away.
And these hawthorns and cherries, there are dozens of them per pound, only a few hundred yuan?
This is fruit! Something even ninth-level experts can't afford!
And you're telling me it's so cheap? Is this fruit even real?
"This is the price! It was personally set by the city lord!" the saleswoman said confidently, her eyes full of pride.
Having sold goods for so long, she could tell at a glance that these three people had extraordinary bearing and must be important figures.
As a result, when they saw their own fruit, they looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world before, their faces full of drooling.
Little did these people know that this price was only the retail price for the outer city commercial street.
In the Hall of Merit in the inner city, the price of fruit for the people of the inner city is only 1-2% of the original price!
In fact, since the luminous tree evolved to the eighth tier, its catalytic ability has been further enhanced.
The yield of various plants and vegetables in Longcheng has naturally increased further, and their sizes have also increased.
Therefore, Xiao Yu lowered the price once again.
Moreover, as Dragon City gradually develops and is enveloped by the Night Light Domain, and with most people in the inner city also taking time to train, most of them are now first-tier experts, so their treatment has naturally improved.
Now, thanks to various promotional activities and benefits, people in the inner city can buy corn, tomatoes, and other products for only about 10 yuan a cob, which is less than 1% of the price in the outer city!
At this price, every family can afford it.
"Do you only sell what's in the shop? What if I want more?" Sunset City Lord glanced at the fruit shop and saw that Snow Night City Lord and Ghost Lamp City Lord were both preparing to buy some. He asked urgently.
He felt that the shop had far too little fruit.
My worry now is what if I buy all the fruit in this store at once?
Would Longcheng be willing to sell to me?
"Yes! There's not enough here! We want to buy more!" Lord Hozuki said anxiously.
The Snow Night City Lord also looked at the salesperson expectantly.
He also felt that these fruits were too precious to sell in large quantities.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't want to sell it; he'd just keep it for himself.
"Excuse me, gentlemen!"
The three men were so imposing that the saleswoman shrank back in fear as soon as they opened their mouths. She quickly apologized and explained, "This is all we have in the shop. If you want more, you can talk to Lady Honglian. There are discounts for buying more."
"Sure enough, couldn't we have bought more?"
Hearing the sales clerk's apology, all three were somewhat disappointed.
Upon hearing what followed, the three were instantly overjoyed.
“In that case, there’s no need for us to rush. We can explore a bit more,” Lord Xueye suggested. “Besides, Dragon City still has plenty of good stuff. Let’s take a look first.”
"Yes, let's take a look first. Let's buy a few to eat on the way."
Shuiyue nodded in agreement, then looked at the saleswoman and said, "Give me three of each of the apples and pears... and hawthorns and cherries, um, one pound of each, please..."
“I’ll buy one too, give me one of hers.”
"Same as above!"
"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir!"
The saleswoman nodded with a smile, took out three bamboo baskets about the size of a human head from under the counter, and filled them with fruit according to the three people's requests.
"Huh? This bamboo basket is so convenient. Who invented it?" Shuiyue took the basket, twirled it in her left hand, and her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.
"It was also invented by our city lord," the saleswoman said proudly, raising her head.
Previously, using buckets or similar containers to carry things was too bulky and inconvenient.
So, the city lord taught everyone how to weave bamboo baskets and other similar items.
Nowadays, bamboo baskets and crates are used for loading not only vegetables and fruits.
When selling fruit, fruit shops can also use bamboo baskets to pack the fruit, which is very convenient and easy to handle.
Nowadays, many customers will even come specifically to buy fruit just for a bamboo basket.
"This Lord of Dragon City is truly multi-talented!" Upon hearing the saleswoman's words, Shuiyue's eyes sparkled with admiration.
After paying, she took out a bright red apple and took a small bite.
The apples are crisp, juicy, sweet, and have a rich fruity aroma.
"It's so delicious! Waaah..." Shuiyue fell in love with it after just one bite.
This was the first time she had ever eaten something so delicious.
Suddenly I feel like I've wasted the last thirty years of my life.
"Mmm, this pear is delicious too! Juicy, crisp, and sweet..."
"The hawthorn is sweet and sour, this flavor is so unique!"
