The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

There are peach orchards nearby, and they're not far away. They're an orchard outside the school where Shen Wenxu studies, only a five-minute walk from the school, and you can see them from there.

Liu Juan rode her electric scooter to find the orchard owner, and found him easily. The owner was picking peaches in the orchard, taking advantage of the peach season to quickly pick some to sell.

"Brother Li, are you busy?" Liu Juan greeted him with a smile as she walked up to him.

Brother Li was a man in his early fifties. Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw Liu Juan. He wasn't particularly happy: "Why are you here?"

Liu Juan sensed something was wrong, but she didn't leave, determined to find out what was going on: "Brother Li, I came here specifically to see you."

Brother Li snorted coldly and continued picking peaches: "What do you want from me? How could your Shen family possibly respect a family like ours?"

"Brother Li, what are you saying? Our Shen family treats everyone equally." Liu Juan was confused. Why was Brother Li so hostile towards her? Had her family offended him?

"No, no, we can't afford to offend them. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave now. I'm busy here." Brother Li impatiently shooed them away.

Liu Juan was genuinely baffled: "Brother Li, I came here specifically to buy peaches from you. I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already getting angry at me. Shouldn't you give me a reason?"

Brother Li looked very angry: "The day before yesterday, I went to see the person in charge of Yongle. I wanted to rent a stall in Yongle to sell peaches. They agreed at the beginning, but at the last minute they said my peaches weren't good and refused. Isn't that looking down on me? It's outrageous!"

Liu Juan understood immediately; peaches that weren't tasty wouldn't be allowed to be sold at a stall: "Are your peaches tasty?"

Brother Li said with great confidence, "How can it not taste good? It's sweet, crisp, and big; it looks delicious."

Liu Juan pointed to the peaches and tentatively asked, "Want to try some?"

Brother Li looked at Liu Juan with an unfriendly gaze: "What do you mean?"

Liu Juan pointed to the peaches: "What I mean is that this year's fruit looks good, but the taste may not be as good. To know for sure whether it's good or not, you should try it."

"You..." Brother Li was extremely angry, "I don't think you came here to buy peaches from me. You came here on purpose to make me unhappy, didn't you?"

Liu Juan immediately retorted, "I have no grudge against you, why would I want to make things difficult for you?"

Brother Li retorted angrily, "These peaches of mine look great, how could they not taste good?"

Liu Juan is a kind-hearted person. Looking at the garden full of big peaches, she couldn't bear it and said, "Those plums looked very good before, but they tasted sour and astringent. I'm not targeting you, I'm just stating the facts."

Brother Li snorted, "Fine, I'll prove it to you." He picked one and took a big bite.

He hadn't even started chewing yet; the juice had only filled his mouth when he frowned: "This..."

The texture wasn't good. It was crispy, but not sweet enough, and even a bit astringent. It didn't taste as good as it looked at all.

After tasting the peaches, Brother Li was less hostile towards Liu Juan: "I'm sorry, I..."

Liu Juan generously said, "It's okay. I know you're upset about being rejected, and it's normal for you to want to vent when you see me."

Brother Li didn't say anything; he was still reeling from the shock of the peach's taste.

Liu Juan went to the side and called Shen Xuening: "Ningning, I went to the peach orchard, but the peaches weren't very good. Should we still buy some?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Mom, why don't you buy ten catties first, take it back and soak it in well water to see if it can improve the taste? If it can, then we'll buy more."

Liu Juan replied, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Juan walked towards Brother Li: "Brother Li, I want to buy ten catties of peaches, can you pack them for me?"

Brother Li asked, puzzled, "Why did you buy it if it doesn't taste good?"

"We don't eat it right away after taking it home; we have to let it sit for a while before eating it. It should taste better after sitting for a bit." Liu Juan subconsciously didn't want people to know the wonderful uses of the well water in her home, so she usually didn't say anything.

Brother Li still didn't want to tarnish the peaches' reputation: "Would you like to try some before you buy?"

Liu Juan waved her hand dismissively: "No need, just weigh it for me."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Liu Juan really came to buy peaches, Brother Li's expression softened considerably. He went home to get a large plastic bag, weighed out ten pounds for Liu Juan, and added another peach.

Liu Juan put the peaches on the footrest of her electric scooter and then rode home.

Back home, she put the peaches one by one into a large basin, then drew a bucket of well water and soaked the peaches.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a peach, washed it, and cut it into several pieces with a knife. She picked out a piece to eat and said, "Oh dear, it's really not good. The staff member didn't wrong him."

Liu Juan reluctantly ate the peach, then cut the rest into small pieces and threw them into the chicken coop for the chickens to eat.

Let's soak the peaches for now and leave them for later. We'll check on them when we get back tonight.

Liu Juan went to get busy.

……

Before we knew it, it was past six in the afternoon.

After finishing her work, Liu Juan immediately returned home.

The peaches were still soaking in the well water. After Liu Juan returned home, she quickly grabbed a peach to eat, cutting it into small pieces before taking a bite.

This piece tastes significantly better; it's crisp and sweet, and very sweet, as if the previous astringency has been transformed into sweetness. It's absolutely delicious.

Liu Juan was filled with joy. The effects of her family's well water were truly amazing, but she had to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know.

Liu Juan sent Shen Xuening a WeChat message: "Ningning, the peaches are ready, they're very sweet, come back and eat them in a bit."

Shen Xuening replied a minute later: "Mom, I'm back."

At this moment, Liu Juan was still washing peaches. After the peaches were soaked and washed, everyone ate them: "Ningning, come and try these peaches, they're especially delicious."

She gave the biggest peach to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening looked at the big peach and said, "Mom, this peach must weigh more than a pound. I just ate a meal and can't eat such a big peach."

Liu Juan hadn't thought of that; she just wanted to give the best peaches to Shen Xuening: "Then pick one that you can eat."

Shen Xuening picked the smallest one, which weighed only seven or eight ounces.

The peaches are crisp; one bite and your mouth is filled with juice, like drinking fruit juice—the texture is exceptionally good.

Shen Xuening gave it a high rating: "Mom, these peaches are good."

"That's because they were soaked in well water. Before soaking, they were very astringent and didn't taste good at all." Liu Juan suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Ningning, that person said he wanted to set up a stall to sell peaches in Yongle, but the person in charge refused. When I went to buy peaches, he even vented his anger on me."

Shen Xuening wasn't surprised at all: "Peaches don't taste good, Hua Yanshan will definitely refuse."

Liu Juan said, "If it were me, I would refuse too."

Shen Xuening ate the peaches in a few bites: "Mom, have the original owner send us 200 catties of peaches every day. After they arrive, soak them in well water for six hours. Then call Tao Shiyun at the hot pot restaurant and ask her to send someone to transport the peaches."

Liu Juan said, "Can't I just deliver it directly to them?"

Shen Xuening said, "I just didn't want Mom to work too hard."

Liu Juan readily agreed, saying, "It's no trouble at all. I'll do the delivery myself. I was supposed to be delivering goods anyway."

Shen Xuening said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mom."

……

The next day, Liu Juan went to buy peaches again, this time ordering 200 jin (100 kg) every day. Brother Li was even more puzzled: "Didn't you say peaches weren't good? Why are you still buying 200 jin (100 kg) every day?"

"Those were sent to the hot pot restaurant," Liu Juan said. "Your peaches can still sit for a while; they won't affect anyone's enjoyment."

"Are you sure you want it?" Brother Li was still a little skeptical.

Liu Juan said firmly, "Yes, you can deliver it to me every morning, right to my house."

If Liu Juan's expression was too serious, Brother Li would think she was playing a trick on him: "Okay, I'll deliver it to you every day from now on, but don't go back on your word."

“Why would I go back on my word?” Liu Juan said good-naturedly. “I’ll calculate the payment for you after you deliver it, so you must call me.”

"I understand." Brother Li felt completely relieved.

After explaining everything, Liu Juan left.

Brother Li asked his family to help him pick peaches, and then he delivered them to Liu Juan.

……

Yongle Xifulai Hot Pot Restaurant.

Shi Ying, a receptionist at the municipal building, came to eat hot pot with her friends. They had made the appointment a week in advance, and finally Friday arrived.

When you eat hot pot here, each table is served a plate of fruit, a plate of snacks, and a pot of tea.

My friend ate a peach that had been cut into slices and couldn't help but say, "It's so strange. The peaches I buy outside either taste bland or astringent, but the peaches at the hot pot restaurant are so delicious."

Shi Ying immediately chimed in, "Me too! I bought three peaches yesterday, thinking that since peaches are newly in season, I'd like to try something new, but they weren't tasty at all."

Another friend said, "I didn't buy any. My roommate gave me one, but it wasn't as good as this half."

Shi Ying suggested, "Let's go to the fruit and vegetable store later and buy some fruit to take home. The fruit there is really delicious."

My friend laughed and said, "Great, I want to buy green radishes."

Shi Ying joked, "Are you on a diet?"

My friend nodded: "That's right. I ate so much today, I have to use green radishes to cleanse my body of toxins, otherwise I'll get pimples."

Shi Ying looked at her friend: "Is this your first time here?"

My friend said, "Yes, this is my first time here."

Shi Ying said, "Then you are really overthinking it. The hot pot we are eating today will not cause pimples or contain any toxins. The hot pot broth here is freshly made, the oil is beef tallow, and the vegetables are grown in our own fields. The raw materials are fresh, so the situation you described will not happen at all."

My friend exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's that good!"

Shi Ying smiled and said, "Otherwise, why do you think we need to book a week in advance?"

My friend shook his head: "I really didn't think much of it. I thought all hot pots were the same."

Shi Ying patted her shoulder: "It's different. The food here is not only delicious but also made with high-quality ingredients. Just eat it and you won't have to worry about anything else."

My friend said, "No wonder the fruit here is so delicious."

Shi Ying said, "If it weren't good, would I have brought you here?"

My friend said affectionately, "Yingying is still the best."
