Chapter 38
Wang Po Sells Melons, Praising Her Own Treasure
In response to Xiao Hongyan's apology, Chu Yuyao said, "Beautiful sister, we don't blame you!"
"If anyone's to blame, it's that fat pig Zhang!"
"Xiaoyang and I are genuinely here at your Longting Hotel to promote our own homegrown, all-natural vegetables!"
"You can try some of our vegetables first; we guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
At that moment, Lu Yang quickly took a cucumber from the plastic bag in his hand and handed it directly to the somewhat stunned Xiao Hongyan: "Boss, the vegetables we grow are not only completely natural and pollution-free!"
"Furthermore, I can assure you that our vegetables are not only delicious, but also have amazing stomach-nourishing effects!"
"Truly a divine vegetable!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuyao couldn't help but inwardly complain that Lu Yang was exaggerating the merits of her vegetables, comparing them to his miraculous peaches.
However, she couldn't expose him right away.
To truly promote her vegetables, she even chimed in, "Pretty sister, what Xiaoyang said is true. Just try them; you definitely won't be disappointed!"
Seeing the huge gourd that Lu Yang suddenly handed over, Xiao Hongyan seemed to recall something from last night, and her usually cold and beautiful face inexplicably flushed slightly.
When she heard Lu Yang's self-praising and boastful remarks, especially when he said that the cucumbers were comparable to celestial vegetables, she actually thought she must have met a real swindler.
However, Chu Yuyao, such a voluptuous and exquisitely beautiful girl, kept calling her "pretty sister" one after another, which made her a little embarrassed.
Finally, she reached out and took the royal melon that Lu Yang handed her, ready to taste it herself.
She was quite curious about what the royal melon tasted like.
Crunch and crisp!
The moment Xiao Hongyan took a bite with her cherry-like lips, she didn't have much hope. She thought this cucumber was at most the kind of natural, pollution-free country cucumber. But the moment it entered her mouth, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
The royal melon is not only crisp and refreshing, but also has a delicate and pleasant fragrance.
This texture and this sweet aroma are unmatched by any other melon.
This truly astonished her, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This...this cucumber is absolutely delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious cucumber before!"
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a truly divine vegetable!"
At first, Xiao Hongyan mistakenly thought that Lu Yang was just a peddler praising his melons and deliberately exaggerating their value to get her to actually buy the vegetables they sent.
But when she actually tasted it, she was surprised to find that it wasn't just self-praise; this royal melon was truly the most delicious and palatable of all the royal melons she had ever eaten.
It could even be said that no other vegetable could compare; it was the most delicious vegetable she had ever eaten in her life, without exception!
Chu Yuyao looked at Xiao Hongyan strangely, and couldn't help but wonder, "Has Xiao Hongyan never eaten royal melon before?"
"She seems to be eating royal melon for the first time. How could she actually believe Xiao Yang's boastful words and think that this royal melon is truly a divine vegetable?"
Seeing the other person wolfing down their food without any regard for a girl's image, Chu Yuyao instinctively swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Driven by immense curiosity, she couldn't resist taking a cucumber from Lu Yang's hand and tasting it. She wanted to see if the cucumbers she had grown had suddenly changed in taste.
"Um?"
Crunch and crisp!
The moment Chu Yuyao took her first bite with her cherry-like lips, she began to question her very existence. Having grown her own cucumbers, she naturally knew what cucumbers tasted like.
However, what she was tasting at this moment was not the cucumber she had grown, because this cucumber tasted many times more delicious than the ones she had grown.
The feeling she got was that she wasn't tasting a cucumber at all, but rather like the peach blossom fairy she had tasted not long ago.
However, both have unique flavors and can be considered true celestial fruits and vegetables.
Xiao Hongyan, disregarding her image, wolfed down the cucumber in her hand, still looking like she wanted more, because the cucumber was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue whole.
Just as she was about to ask Lu Yang how these cucumbers were cultivated to be so delicious, she was suddenly shocked to find that the dull pain in her stomach had suddenly disappeared.
This is all because of cucumbers.
She exclaimed again, "This...this...this cucumber is not only delicious, but it also has a miraculous effect on nourishing and protecting the stomach! My stomach ailment, which I couldn't cure for so long, has miraculously been cured because of this cucumber!"
Xiao Hongyan quickly recovered from her shock and immediately invited Lu Yang, "Sir, your cucumbers are simply amazing, like true celestial vegetables!"
"Now, I, Xiao Hongyan, invite you to my office to discuss our future cooperation. If you are willing to exclusively supply me with these immortal vegetables, I can offer you unimaginably generous terms!"
Seeing that Xiao Hongyan truly understood the power of his immortal vegetables, Lu Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, you lead the way!"
Xiao Hongyan hurriedly led Lu Yang and Chu Yuyao toward her specially set-up office at the Longting Hotel, as if she were afraid that others would find out about this news and try to take the cucumber from her.
Before long, the group arrived at the office.
Xiao Hongyan invited the two to sit down, then quickly began brewing tea for them, saying, "Sir, young lady, this is a Da Hong Pao tea that I specially purchased at a high price. Now, I invite you both to taste it!"
Lu Yang knew nothing about tea tasting; he simply picked up the cup and gulped it down in one go, as if swallowing a whale.
As for Chu Yuyao, she appraised it quite skillfully, which suggests that the other party's family background must be extraordinary.
Xiao Hongyan then asked with great curiosity, "Sir, young lady, what are your names? I don't even know your names."
Lu Yang introduced himself: "My name is Lu Yang, you can call me Xiao Yang from now on! Her name is Chu Yuyao!"
Xiao Hongyan introduced herself, "Xiao Yang, Yu Yao, my name is Xiao Hongyan. You two can call me Hongyan from now on!"
Xiao Hongyan then tentatively asked, "Xiao Yang, could you tell me how you cultivate these immortal vegetables?"
"How can it be so delicious and also have such amazing stomach-nourishing effects?"
Lu Yang naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but instead kept her in suspense, saying, "Hongyan, I'm sorry, this concerns our secret to making money, so I dare not reveal it, lest the news leak out and others covet it!"
Seeing that Lu Yang was unwilling to talk about it, Xiao Hongyan, despite her extreme curiosity, ultimately respected his wishes and gave up.
