“I’m coming.” Liu Duo’s voice flew through the air.
Liu Duo had gone upstairs to change into a long-sleeved dress, because she was going out.
When Liu Duo arrived on the first floor, she saw Ye Mo and Hei Xiaomeng having a “fight”. “Little Brother Mo, can you not bully Hei Xiaomeng?”
When Hei Xiaomeng heard Liu Duo’s voice, it ran over to her and kept running in circles around her.
It knew Liu Duo was its pillar of support. When she was present, this master Ye Mo would not dare to hit it. Although the number of times Ye Mo had hit it when they were in private was not a small amount.
However, as long as Liu Duo was present, it would become very brave in front of Ye Mo. It would be similar to how Liu Duo usually was – extremely proud and lovable!
Ye Mo said unhappily, “It’s because it started barking. It’s so loud and so goddamn noisy! It’s not like there are any strangers nearby.”
He saw Hei Xiaomeng pandering to Liu Duo when it was in front of her, and it made him really want to hit that little shit with all his might.
However, when Ye Liu heard him, he didn’t hold back and laughed at him, “Mo, sometimes, you aren’t that quiet when you speak either!”
“That’s right! You still have the gall to criticize Hei Xiaomeng.” Liu Duo cast a glance at Ye Mo from the corner of her eye.
Hei Xiaomeng was a purebred mastiff, so its bark was naturally resonant and powerful.
Whenever he was at loggerheads with Hei Xiaomeng, Ye Mo would always lose and would be disliked by Liu Duo. He felt a fit of anger in his heart!
He walked forward and hugged Liu Duo off the ground. He then said cooly and arrogantly, “Beloved, we need to head out now, so let’s not waste time on this black fur ball!”
When she was suddenly lifted off the ground, out of reflex, Liu Duo grabbed his neck and then gave him a punch. “Let go of me Mo. Who gave you permission to hug me?”
“I can hug you whenever I want to! Who asked you to be my wife?” Ye Mo arrogantly carried Liu Duo to the ox-cart.
Upon hearing him, Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him and thought in her heart, This bastard needs to be hit for his revolting behavior!
Ye Liu only started to slowly drive the ox-cart out of the yard door when he saw Liu Duo had sat down on the cushion. He stopped when he was outside the yard door, and Ye Mo locked the yard door before getting on the ox-cart.
When Ye Liu saw him get on, he officially started to drive the ox-cart towards the neighboring villages.
“Mr. Liuzi, how much are you guys preparing to pay for one jin?” Liu Duo suddenly asked.
Ye Liu, who was driving the ox-cart, had already figured out early on how much was appropriate for one jin.
He didn’t even have to think and said, “We will buy one jin for three wens first. After we turned it into the tomato sauce you mentioned, and if it sells well, we will change it to two wens per jin. What do you think Little Duo?”
Although there weren’t a lot of people who liked to eat tomatoes, three wens per jin was a fair price. After all, it was labor-intensive. If it were two wens per jinn, it would be too little.
Liu Duo nodded and felt it was good, since it was a fair deal for both the farmers and themselves. “That’s good. I’m just curious. You guys decide.”
When they arrived at Shengli Town, Ye Liu drove the ox-cart into an empty spot and stopped. Some villagers saw them and asked, “Brothers of the Ye family, are you guys here to purchase tomatoes?”
“Some of the tomatoes in our house have already turned extremely red. I’ve already picked all the ones that can be sold.”
Ye Liu smiled merrily and answered them, “Yes. we are here to purchase them today. Three wens per jin. We are ready to start buying them, and I’ll have to trouble you guys by asking you to pass the news around.”
They had already gone there to spread the message around before, so some of the villagers had happily planted tomatoes to sell.
“Everybody, we are only buying fully ripe ones with no cracks. Moreover, we need to ensure they are fresh, so it can’t be more than three days since they were picked.”
This time, it was Liu Duo who spoke.
If they were stored too long after they were picked, they would lose their moisture and they wouldn’t taste good when they were made into sauce.
When the villagers heard her, they all looked at Liu Duo. This was the first time they had seen Ye Liu bring a girl along.
