Chapter 1462 Not a profiteer
Yu Dong was surprised. She hadn’t expected her children to surpass her like this.
She looked at the cape berries and fell into a deep abyss of pondering. Should she be happy that her children were this strong or should she be worried about these three?
In the end, the pride and worry mixed causing Yu Dong’s expression to turn a bit complicated.
The rest of the mers also had the same expression as Yu Dong. Of course, they were more than happy that their children were this good at such a young age but they were also scared shitless at the thought of someone finding out the powers of their children.
If someone even got wind of the fact that their children could grow animals and plants in seconds, it would be impossible for them to protect their children!
“Is there no other way to deal with this matter?” Ye Liu asked Yu Dong. They could pay attention to the three children but it was impossible to keep an eye on them all day.
What if they were busy with something else and the kids got their hands on something? What then?
They all saw the chick and the seeds growing at rapid speed, if the three boys caught something in their hands then it would be too late for them to stop the boys.
Yu Dong snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at her husbands who were waiting for her reply.
Yu Dong: “…” Don’t look at me like that, I will get shy.
She hesitated for a while and said, “As they are still young, and don’t know how to cultivate, their spiritual energy is limited. If you exhaust their spiritual energy, I think nothing will happen?”
She could only use her own experience from childhood when she was raising her two brothers.
The two of them were rather talented and awakened their powers quite early on. For the sake of the house not being burned down, she would take her two brothers to the training centre and let them release their powers.
That way the two of them stayed calm the rest of the day.
“You mean to say that we should tire them out?” Shen Li deadpanned, who would have expected that the spiritual energy worked in the same manner as the energy of a child?
“Why are you looking at me like I am unreliable?” Yu Dong muttered with a pout. “No matter what energy it is, in the end, it can be transferred to other things and get exhausted.”
“How are you not unreliable?” Shen Li glared at her. “You were the one who said that our children will not inherit your powers.”
“Look at this now.”
Yu Dong touched her nose and did not say anything else. The entire family was busy plucking the cape berries off the vines. Once the berries were plucked off, Yu Dong dealt with the vines by twisting and cutting them.
She was going to use it as fertilizer for the vegetable growing in the backyard.
“Send it to the mall,” said Ye Liu as he brought the baskets of cape berries out of the room. Even if they ate these berries for days, the stock would not finish and they would get bored of it.
It was better to keep a catty or two to change the taste and sell the rest.
Shen Li agreed with him. He turned to look at Fang Chi and said to him, “Go and call the mammies, have them come and take them to the mall. Just sell them as they seem fit.”
Cape berries were not rare fruits and even though the ones that his sons grew were indeed delicious, Shen Li knew that the people would not pay a high price for a fruit that was not rare.
Fang Chi nodded and he went out of the house to bring the mammies inside.
Chen Mi on the other hand looked at the chicken that was handed to him by Fang Chi. His eyes brightened and he said to Shen Li and Ye Liu, “If the cape berries taste so good then, doesn’t that mean that this chicken will also taste amazing.”
Shen Li and Ye Liu: “…” This mer is really good. His focus is always on food.
On the other side, Fang Chi sent the mammies to the mall with the cape berries. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
Soon another section was opened in the mall at the fruit section causing many mers to walk over and look at the yellow fruits that were placed inside the baskets neatly.
“What are these?” One of the official’s husbands questioned as he looked at the yellow fruit.
“Aren’t these cape berries?” A commoner mer answered while looking at the yellow fruits. He reached out and picked up the cape berry that was sitting in the sample section and brought it to his mouth.
He chewed the juicy flesh of the berry and nodded, “It’s indeed cape berries but I have never eaten a cape berry as good as this one.”
Cape berries were local fruits and could be found everywhere in the countryside but the berries sold by Yu Dong were completely different.
“Of course, everything that comes to the mall is fresh and unique. You will not find cape berries as sweet as these not to mention, they are big and ripe.”
The head of the fruit section spoke with a smile on his face. He praised the cape berries to the point that many people couldn’t help but get hooked.
The mer who came from the family of the commoners thought about the price of the fruits in the mall and gritted his teeth before asking,
“How much are these cape berries?” Even if he couldn’t buy the strawberries for his children, he could at least buy this sweet cape berry!
“It is not expensive just forty cents a catty,” answered the seller with a professional smile on his face.
“Ah?” When the mer heard that it was only forty cents he was stunned. He looked at the worker who continued to smile and said, “Cape berries are nothing rare, and we are not unscrupulous sellers. We will not sell something at a sky-high price just because it’s better than the rest.”
Cape berries can be found in the forest easily, even now they are growing in some places.
So how could they be sold for a large sum of money?
