No matter what, it’s not too late to go shopping for food after the grand opening.

Di Yelei thought this made sense, so he put the copper coins away.

Liu Sisi quickly arranged the mushrooms and other items in her basket, tightly next to the pile of game. She deliberately arranged the mushrooms one by one to make them look more appealing. Next to them, she arranged the mountain loquats and thorny elaeagnus fruits.

Perhaps it was because the items at Liu sisi’s stall were so unique. As soon as she laid them out, someone immediately came over to ask about the prices.

“What is this? Mushrooms? How much are they?”

The questioner is a middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket, followed by a maid, clearly a woman of means.

Liu Sisi eagerly burst into a smile and said loudly: “Madam, these are mushrooms that my husband and I picked while hunting in the mountains. Whatever the variety, they’re all 40 copper coins a catty. These are Shaggy ink caps, their taste is delicious and similar to chicken meat and cost 80 copper coins a catty. Madam, would you like to buy some to taste?”

The madam gasped: “Why is it so expensive? And could these mushrooms be poisonous?”

“Not expensive, madam. When it comes to food, freshness is paramount! Look at these mushrooms, I have carefully cleaned them. If you buy them, you just need to wash them casually before cooking, very easy. Moreover, I tried some of these mushrooms last night, they’re absolutely non-toxic. You can eat them with confidence.”

While Liu Sisi was talking, she made a point to open the food box she had brought. Inside was a half-eaten mushroom. She then took a big gulp of soup.

The sight of Liu Sisi doing this lit up the madam’s eyes!

Everyone knows that there are mushrooms in the mountains, but no one can definitively say which are safe to eat and which are poisonous.

But now that someone had already eaten these mushrooms, if she bought them, she wouldn’t have to worry about them being poisonous!

“Moreover, give me a catty of each. I’ll taste it first. If it tastes good, and you are still selling here next time, I will come back to buy some more.”

Di Yelei didn’t weigh it, instead Liu Sisi borrowed a scale from the adjacent stall and gave the madam a generous amount, and finally threw in a few extra mushrooms.

Liu Sisi’s actions made the madam squint her eyes and laugh, obviously very satisfied.

“Thank you, madam, that’s a total of 120 copper coins. Madam, this is the game my husband hunted in the mountains yesterday. The game is very nutritious. Since you are here early, you can pick a large one. These wild chickens are 80 coins each, rabbits are 100 coins each, roe deer are 250 coins, and elk is 2 taels of silver. Would you like take one home?”

The madam carefully looked at the game: “Is this fresh? It wouldn’t be good if I eat it in the afternoon and it has spoiled.”
