It was already past lunchtime. Zhuang Luhe was cooking, Qiao Xiaomai scooped the bean pods into a clean wooden bucket and went to Jiwaiju in her own ox cart.
She casually ate some bread on the way to stave off her hunger. After arriving at Jiwaiju, she ordered a bowl of noodles and let Shopkeeper He examine the quality of the five-spiced edamame.
"A plate for twenty wen." Qiao Xiaomai quoted the price.
Shopkeeper He shivered at the price. It was as if they were being sold at meat prices.
But the flavor of these beans...
Selling them to the wealthy individuals in the private rooms upstairs would not be a problem at all.
"Deal." He nodded.
"The students from Bailu Academy are returning home. I heard that every year at this time, a banquet is held, and our town's unique edamame is the perfect send-off," Qiao Xiaomai said with a smile.
The students at Bailu Academy come from all over Daqi. They study here on ordinary days, but they have to return to their hometowns for exams.
