Chapter 1942: Peculiar Competitive Spirit

  Master Yang sighed inwardly. After all, the County Princess was unfamiliar with Changjin Prefecture, and the products being sold were new and novel. It was natural for the townspeople to hesitate.

  With this in mind, Master Yang signaled to those behind him, and then spoke loudly.

  "County Princess, we want to buy sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, instant noodles, and those sausages too... give us fifty portions of each."

  Fifty portions were neither too much nor too little. It wouldn't make it seem like they were intentionally helping the County Lord's opening, nor would it make the opening day too quiet, dampening the business.

  Others nodded in agreement, "Yes, we also want fifty portions."

  Shu Yu, "... "Why do they seem so strange? Is there some misunderstanding?"
  Because of their close relationship with Master Yang and the others, Shu Yu still gave a reminder, "Even though our food can be stored for a long time, they do have expiration dates. If you buy too much and can't finish it, it might spoil in the end. Why not buy a smaller amount to try it out and see if you like it?"

  "Yeah, Master Yang, and you've already given us gifts, which is already very courteous. We will reciprocate the gesture. That includes these food items, so there's no need to buy them," Meng Han added.

  Reciprocate? And for every item?

  Although this was a matter of etiquette, Master Yang still felt distressed. With so many people, the County Princess might suffer a loss, right? That would be really uncomfortable later.

  Master Yang sighed, "County Princess, giving a gift in return is one thing, but we really do want to buy something else. You know, we all came from Chenggu County, and it's not easy to make this trip. Naturally, we need to buy more to take back. Besides, we all have a lot of friends and family. Giving one portion each would be too little. Your products are all fresh and new, and everyone likes them."

  Second Young Master He kept nodding, and the cousin who had been feverish at the black market also chimed in, "It's a pity that the County Princess didn't open a store in Chenggu County. Otherwise, this business would definitely explode."

  His cousin whispered, "How come the customers in the city don't know what's good? They're not rushing to get these amazing things."

  Their conversation was overheard by the nearby customers, and some wealthy locals immediately said, "Who doesn't know what's good? This place can also thrive. We want fifty portions too."

  They were local wealthy people in the capital city. Were they inferior to the wealthy people from the county town? It was really a joke.

  Money didn't matter. They couldn't let the county town outdo them. Their competitive spirit ignited in an instant.

  "Then we want sixty portions." The little cousin wasn't going to back down. He knew that Meng Qi and County Princess Lu had saved his life; he definitely couldn't lose face in front of them.

  "We want seventy portions."

  Shu Yu, "... "What's with this strange competition?"

  If they continued like this, her store would run out of stock after today.

  She quickly grabbed their attention, "Alright, alright, everyone will have their share. Thank you all for taking care of my business. But buying too much really isn't appropriate. The limit is fifty portions, no more."

  Master Yang sighed, "County Princess, you're really considerate of others."

  Shu Yu's mouth twitched. No, she wasn't. She was considering the long and arduous journey to transport the goods.

  "Fifty portions it is, then. Clerk, pack it up."

  Hearing this, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Little did she know that at that moment, more people were entering the shop.
