Chapter 1118 Someone Stole Cherries
"How could I not come when you're picking cherries?" Yang Shanchuan said matter-of-factly. "I've been eyeing your cherries for a long time. I even came to check on them before I left. They're finally ripe."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "You've been keeping an eye on my cherries?"
Yang Shanchuan smiled obsequiously, "Yes, I've been paying attention to them since they started blooming. Watching them grow little by little has made me very excited."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "Then eat whatever you want now."
Yang Shanchuan ate a cherry and was instantly amazed by its taste: "Could you sell me some? I don't need many, just some to give to a few important clients."
Shen Xuening said, "Since you've said that, how can I not sell? Go get a basket and pick them yourself."
"Okay!" Yang Shanchuan replied crisply, then quickly went down the mountain, grabbed a basket, and started picking cherries. "By the way, how much are these cherries per pound?"
Shen Baohong answered first: "199".
Yang Shanchuan paused for a moment: "Then one basket will be enough for me. This is too expensive, and I'm a little reluctant to give it away."
Shen Baohong laughed heartily: "I knew you would do this."
Yang Shanchuan looked at Shen Baohong and asked tentatively, "So you're saying you lied to me?"
"You wish! 199 is the selling price. Who's kidding you?" Shen Baohong said. "Let me correct you, that's the wholesale price, not the selling price."
Yang Shanchuan took a deep breath: "I understand, I can accept it."
Shen Xuening couldn't help but chuckle. Yang Shanchuan was a bit stingy; spending so much money on cherries meant he must be a really important customer: "I'll give you a price of 149 per jin."
"Really?" Yang Shanchuan's eyes lit up.
“Really,” Shen Xuening answered affirmatively.
"Cousin, I knew you were the best." Yang Shanchuan picked the fruit much faster now.
Shen Baohong laughed and said, "You rascal, only you can take advantage of Xue Ning."
Yang Shanchuan said smugly, "That's right, she's my cousin, of course she'd take care of me, right, cousin?"
Shen Xuening suppressed a laugh: "Yes, yes, pick more."
"Mmm." Yang Shanchuan happily began picking the fruit.
"Ningning, Ningning..." Several elderly women came walking together from the foot of the mountain.
Shen Xuening looked down the mountain: "Grandma, is there something you need?"
The elderly woman at the head of the group asked with a smile, "We'd like to buy some cherries. Your cherries are good; can you sell them in smaller quantities?"
Shen Xuening thought for a moment, then went down the mountain and walked up to the old women: "Do you know how much cherries cost per pound?"
The old woman smiled and said, "I asked at the market, and it's fifteen yuan. How much do you sell it for here?"
Shen Xuening replied, "It'll cost 199."
Several elderly women doubted their ears, paused for a moment, and then came to their senses: "One hundred and ninety-nine per jin? That's two hundred per jin?"
Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes, you heard right, it is that expensive."
The mother-in-law took a deep breath: "Why is it so expensive? It looks almost the same as the ones in the market, just bigger and a bit more purple."
Shen Xuening went to get some cherries and gave one to each of them: "Please have some, ladies."
The group looked at each other, then took a small bite of the cherry.
The moment they tasted it, they knew the difference. It was sweet, fragrant, and bursting with juice, with a small pit. It was the perfect taste of a fruit that had just ripened.
The mother-in-law said, "Although your cherries are delicious, they are too expensive, and we can't afford them."
Shen Xuening said, "It's alright, it's good to come over for a walk."
The elderly women turned and left.
"These cherries are way too expensive, 199 yuan! Who can afford that?"
“Ningning knows a lot of rich people, so these cherries are definitely going to be sold to them. Didn’t you see they’ve already picked so many? What’s the point of picking them if they can’t sell them?”
"How much would 199 jin (74.5 kg) of cherries cost?"
"Don't worry about how much they're selling it for. Didn't you see they're fertilizing and weeding? Plus, there's monitoring and labor involved. If they don't sell it for a higher price, they'll lose money."
"Yes, yes, stop being so sour. You only see their gains but not their efforts. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"..."
The elderly women walked away, discussing amongst themselves.
Shen Xuening returned to the mountain to continue picking cherries.
An hour later, several fans arrived at the foot of the mountain. They wanted to help Shen Xuening pick cherries and experience what it was like to do it themselves.
Shen Xuening gave them a basket and a tree, and told them to pick the fruit.
A female fan asked excitedly, "Blogger, why do you look so beautiful? What skincare products do you use?"
Shen Xuening patiently replied, "I don't use many skincare products. I just eat vegetables. Also, the environment here is very nourishing. If you feel your skin is not good, stay here for a week and your skin will naturally improve."
She used too much spiritual spring water and spiritual stones. Now the spiritual energy here is abundant, and staying here will make her better.
The female fan blinked, quite surprised: "Really?"
Shen Xuening said, "It's true, many people have tried it and everyone has gotten better. Eating it with green radishes will make it even better."
The female fan got even more excited: "Will green radishes make the skin smoother?"
“Sure,” Shen Xuening replied definitively. “If you don’t have time, then buy some green radishes and some black nightshade flowers. Eating them will make your skin fair and rosy, and very beautiful.”
The female fan said, "I definitely want to try it."
Shen Xuening said, "You can buy it at the fruit shop in Yongle."
The female fan nodded vigorously, already quite eager to buy it: "I understand, we'll go buy it in a bit."
Shen Xuening said, "You can also buy from my online store after you get home. My online store can only be accessed through the video; the other stores are all scams."
The female fan said, "We know that we also buy things from online stores, a lot of things, but considering that we don't usually cook, we've never bought groceries."
Shen Xuening said, "Green radishes can be eaten raw, they're especially delicious, you should try them."
The female fan now understands: "I understand, I'll go buy some to eat in a bit."
After a moment of silence, Shen Xuening changed the subject: "Why did you all come to help me pick cherries?"
The female fan said, "We grew up in the city and these things are very novel to us. We saw you here, so we wanted to try it out and take a picture with you to get closer."
Shen Xuening said gently, "We can take a photo together."
The female fan was overjoyed: "We know the blogger is the best."
Several fans got along well with Shen Xuening, helped her pick a basket of cherries, took a group photo with her, and then went to Yongle to buy and eat green radishes.
Shen Baohong exclaimed, "Now wherever you go, you have fans everywhere, more than ants."
Shen Xuening said, "If it weren't for having so many fans, I'm afraid my business here wouldn't be doing well."
Shen Baohong strongly agreed: "Yes, that's the truth."
I was busy until 4 p.m. before I finally finished my task. Then I immediately packed the cherries and sent them out according to the orders.
We'll continue picking tomorrow; we've only picked less than a quarter of it so far.
That's it for today, everyone's tired. We'll come back tomorrow. Shen Xuening told everyone to go home and rest, and we'll continue working at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
……
Suddenly, the phone alarm went off.
This is a program written by Shen Xuening, which connects to monitoring in various locations. Once an unauthorized intrusion is detected, the alarm will sound.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Xuening immediately took out her phone to check, and found that someone had gone up the mountain to steal cherries.
For so long, no one has ever stolen Shen Xuening's things; this is truly a first.
On the other side of the mountain where the cherries are grown, the alarm went off at the same time as the cell phone, and the dogs started barking wildly, waking everyone up. It was quite frightening.
Shen Xuening was originally going upstairs, but she turned around and went outside, hopped on her electric scooter and rushed over.
The alarm continued to sound, not being put off.
The four thieves were terrified. The alarm was so loud, it sounded like some kind of disaster had happened. And the four sheepdogs rushed over recklessly, blocking their way. The one that ran first was knocked down several times, and his leg was covered in blood.
I was absolutely terrified!
Within a minute, people arrived, and there was no way they could escape; they were now surrounded.
When the four sheepdogs saw people approaching, they stopped attacking the thieves, but they still kept a watchful eye on them, ready to pounce again if the thieves showed any sign of running away.
Three minutes later, a police car arrived, and five police officers got out.
When the four saw the police, they felt a wave of dizziness wash over them, and regret instantly flooded their minds.
Five minutes later, Shen Xuening arrived: "Are they the four who stole the things?"
The police officer said, "Yes, we have already conducted a brief inquiry, but they deny it, saying they trespassed."
Shen Xuening took out her phone and sent the video to the police officer: "The evidence is conclusive. Shouldn't we be asking for a lighter confession based on the evidence now?"
The police officer glanced at the four people helplessly: "Yes."
Shen Xuening asked, "Then what should we do?"
Even the police officers couldn't help but feel sorry for him; the siren was so loud they could hear it in their office, and he'd probably be traumatized for life. "It depends on whether you're willing to settle this privately?"
Shen Xuening replied without hesitation, "If you're unwilling, then do what needs to be done."
"No, let's settle this privately. I'll never steal again." The speaker was a group of thugs. He had passed by the foot of the mountain that afternoon and decided to steal cherries when he heard they were 199 yuan a pound. The other three were his cronies.
"Yes, we'll never steal again, Mr. Shen, please let us go?"
"President Shen, we didn't originally intend to steal anything. It was Jiang Lao Er who instigated us; he's the mastermind."
"President Shen, please let us go. We'll never dare to do it again."
Shen Xuening glanced at the four people, unmoved: "Since you've taken action, you have to bear the consequences. I won't settle this privately. Do whatever you want."
