Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

In just a quarter of an hour, Mingyu had dealt with more than a dozen people, and now the entire valley was finally quiet.

The young man looked at the scene before him and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.

Mingyu put the items back into his sleeves and then arranged for someone to take the contents of the basket out and place them on the ground.

The label clearly lists the various grains, fruits, and medicinal herbs that Worry-Free Valley can provide.

Therefore, Meng Tong also asked Mingyu to write the price and quantity at the end.

"What a rip-off! A pound of rice costs thirty coins! Even when prices were at their lowest last year, it was only twenty-something coins a pound! You're robbing us!"

"Exactly! And these potatoes... I've never even heard of them before, yet they cost forty coins a pound! And they call themselves imperial merchants! I bet their origins are dubious!"

One by one, curious onlookers gathered around, only to be met with a chorus of curses and swears; some even turned and left.

They were only after the title of "Imperial Merchant," they weren't really being taken advantage of.

Mingyu wasn't nervous at all because of this.

After setting up the sign, the boy then brought out a small bag of rice and flour as a reference.

"Young master, should we still buy it? Isn't the price too high?"

In front of a carriage, a servant handed in the paper he had received from Mingyu.

Not long after, a man dressed in a moon-white robe came out.

The man was not old, but he exuded an air of nobility. In particular, his clear and bright eyes revealed that he was not a businessman at all, but rather the air of a scholar.

He got off the carriage with the help of the servant's arm, and then walked straight toward the platform that Mingyu had set up.

The rice grains were distinct, the flour was pure white, and there were all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Among these, the most surprising items for men were fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe.

These things are hard to find even in the capital, yet there are so many in Wuyou Valley.

The man gripped the order form in his hand, his eyes gleaming with an air of absolute certainty.

"What does the young master desire?"

Mingyu had been discreetly observing the man. He was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary air about him; he must be a big client.

He walked over with a smile and introduced, "This is a unique fruit of our Worry-Free Valley. The juice is sweet and delicious. Would you like to try some, young master?"

As he spoke, Mingyu took a knife and cut open a large watermelon next to him.

The man, who was about to speak to stop him, stopped abruptly.

The flesh of the melon is red and juicy, and it makes a crisp sound when cut.

Taking a bite made the sweltering weather feel refreshing, and the others who were originally just observing slowly moved closer to the two of them.

Mingyu glanced around and then generously cut a piece for everyone.

They ate without making a sound.

"Give me five thousand catties of watermelon, and two thousand catties of each of the various fruits here."

"what!"

They were enjoying their meal when suddenly a loud, abrupt voice rang out, which angered some of them.

They kept calling out.

"I also want 5,000 jin of watermelon, and 2,000 jin of various fruits."

"I also want."

"I also want."

"..."

Mingyu was stunned by the scene before him. It took the boy a couple of seconds to regain his composure and say, "Just write down what you need on the list I've given you. Please note that all goods are limited, so it's first come, first served."

"Hey! Quick, get me a pen, or the watermelon I want will be gone."

"There are only 100,000 jin in total, hurry up! It'll be gone in no time! Fill it in quickly, fill it in quickly."

There was a huge crowd of them; anyone who didn't know better would think they were shills hired by Mingyu!

With that opening, things proceeded smoothly from there.

Even if some people have doubts, the quality is undeniable! If you don't buy it, someone else will!

……

Standing atop the city wall, watching the scene unfold before her, Meng Tong narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with satisfaction.

Then, turning to Lu Chuan beside him, he said, "Let's go! Time to get to work."

"Ah."

The man nodded and followed her down the city wall.

In less than an hour, Mingyu had collected all the orders.

Mingyu had someone outside entertain the remaining merchants as he walked in carrying his things.

Mingyu handed the form to the woman, his face beaming with joy.

He said, "Madam, everything you wrote on the list has been sold. Some people who couldn't buy it asked us if we could provide more."

"No rush." ​​The woman smiled as she took the form, glanced at it casually, and then said, "Take this form to the grain depot in town and tell Liu Xiong and the others to prepare it as soon as possible."

"Calculate the price of each order and write it down at the beginning of the order. Remember to copy it down in the notebook I gave you while you are calculating."

"As for those who didn't manage to buy any, tell them to come back next time, at the end of the month."

Mingyu didn't understand why they were doing this, since there was still plenty of grain at the grain depot.

But then he thought about it again, and it seemed that the boy had discovered something.

His face showed genuine admiration, and then he ran towards the town without stopping.

Only Lu Chuan and Meng Tong remained in the room. The man knew everything about his wife's plans.

I was worried before that I wouldn't be able to sell them, but now I realize that my worries were unnecessary.

I don't know how my wife's brain is structured, how she can be so smart!

Lu Chuan looked at Meng Tong with a mixture of curiosity and admiration.

It's really just a disguised form of scarcity marketing; what she wants is that feeling of scarcity making something valuable.

We're taking the high-end route.

Since becoming a royal merchant, Wuyou Valley has never faded from public view; on the contrary, it has become increasingly mysterious.

No one knows exactly what Worry-Free Valley looks like, but it produces many things that no one has ever seen before.

Just like watermelons, it's summer now, and in a place like the capital where land is so valuable, they're selling for five taels of silver.

This is an astronomical price for ordinary people, but at least we can see what it looks like. In the past, this kind of thing was a royal tribute!

……

The first transaction in Worry-Free Valley was simple, quick, and efficient.

The order worth over 100,000 taels was placed, and everyone in Wuyou Valley was happy and excited.

This money actually went straight into their own pockets.

After counting out the money notes from each village, Meng Tong immediately handed them over to Sheng Yu and the others.

They distributed it to everyone below, and it's no exaggeration to say that each person received nearly a thousand taels.

Such numbers would have been unimaginable in the past.

Seeing everyone's genuine happiness, Meng Tong couldn't help but smile as well.

Such scenarios will only increase in the future.
