Chapter 177:

Can She Really Accept It?

"These vegetables do indeed look good. Steward Cao, Xu Mama, what do you think?"

Xu Mama had seen them in the vegetable field last time, so she wasn't surprised. She smiled and said, "I deal with vegetables every day, and these are indeed better than what I've seen before."

Steward Cao agreed, "Indeed."

Lady Wei nodded and looked at the siblings. "I wonder what price you intend to sell them for?"

Mourong Lingran glanced at her elder brother, and after getting a nod from his sister, he mentioned a figure he thought was impossible, "Madam, these are all twenty wen per catty."

Well, if this lady found it expensive, he would persuade A’Ran to lower the price.

On the way here, he asked roadside vendors, and the most expensive vegetables sold for ten wen per catty. Although theirs had good quality and A’Ran explained that these vegetables were different from others, being good for health, twenty wen per catty was still too expensive, almost comparable to the price of meat.

Although Xu Mama had heard from her husband, Steward Cao, a few days ago about why Madam insisted on these vegetables, she couldn't help but suggest, "Twenty wen per catty? Madam, the produce from the estate doesn't require money at all. Why not..."

Lady Wei shook her head and straightforwardly said, "Twenty wen per catty is twenty wen per catty. It's just that the effects..."

The estate's produce could be sold, and these were not easy to come by even with money.

The prestigious Ministry of Rites' Shangshu Mansion couldn't possibly be unable to afford this small amount of money.

Mourong Zong was surprised. This lady could really accept it?

"Madam," Mourong Lingran said, "Rest assured, I am just an ordinary commoner and dare not deceive you. These vegetables not only have the effects I promised you, but their taste is also superior to others. Take these baby bok choy, for example; stir-frying them makes them extremely delicious."

"If you don't believe me, I can personally cook a few dishes for you right now, ensuring a taste different from what you've had before."

"I promised you could try before deciding whether to cooperate. I won't force you to buy."

Although she wasn't worried that her vegetables wouldn't sell, these vegetables with such good quality would definitely find buyers. There was no need to seek help in this way.

However, considering the assistance of Young Master Wei and Ninth Young Master, she didn't mind making a bit more effort.

Despite having Ninth Young Master as a strong supporter, who would complain about having more support? Having an additional source of security was always a good thing.

Lady Wei happened to be hungry. "Alright, let me try first."

After all, these were to be served to her husband, so she wanted to be cautious.

Xu Mama led the siblings to the kitchen. Mourong Lingran glanced at the readily available meat and quickly came up with several dish names. After half an hour, six dishes and a soup were placed in front of Lady Wei.

Lady Wei gave face and tasted several bites. She knew the meat was from her house, but the taste was completely different from what she had eaten before. She praised, "The taste is indeed very good. The vegetables are crisp and refreshing. It seems these ingredients are really good, and your culinary skills are also impressive."

Xu Mama hastily added, "Madam, I've been with her while she cooks. Don't be fooled by her small stature. When she's cooking, she's very skilled. Even ordinary meat seems to transform in her hands, and the taste she stir-fries is completely different from what this old servant can do. The aroma is irresistible."
