Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1108: The Joke Went Too Far_1 Chapter 1309: Chapter 1108: The Joke Went Too Far_1 The crayfish was brought to the table accompanied by a rich aroma, but all the dishes on the table were fragrant, so for a moment, the specialness of the spicy crayfish did not stand out.

However, once the crayfish was tasted, the group was instantly impressed.

While yelling about the spiciness and gasping for air, they held their bowls and drank Sour Plum Soup in big gulps. The sweet and tart Sour Plum Soup diluted the spiciness in their mouths, highlighting the deliciousness of the crayfish.

Delicious, delicious!

The taste made them want to twirl around, to dance with the wind!

“Miss Qiao, bring me a hundred catties of crayfish, ah, no, two hundred catties!” The Chen Family head stretched out two fingers, speaking very generously.

Qiao Xiaomai replied with a smile, “Lord Chen, you can’t make such delicious food without chili peppers. And there’s too little crayfish, I can only provide each person with fifty catties.”

The quantity of crayfish was roughly ten thousand catties, and with two hundred catties per person, there wouldn’t be enough to go around for everyone present today.

She still wanted some for herself!

“If you think it’s too little, you can go to Xiezi County to buy some. That’s the hometown of the top scholar Ya Wuxia, and these crayfish came from Xiezi County,” Qiao Xiaomai continued. “I’m not sure about the production, quality, or price over there, but you all know the taste of my crayfish. They’re five hundred and eighty-eight taels per catty, and I can provide you with a total of thirty thousand taels.”

Upon hearing this, many people present were stunned.

The group hadn’t inquired about the price of the crayfish before coming, their status wouldn’t allow them to ask how much per catty.

In the countryside, even if the products are good, how much could they be worth?

Prior to this, Qiao Xiaomai had also brought out many good items, but even at their most expensive, they never exceeded ten thousand taels at her ‘Ultimate Flavor’ restaurant.

The watermelon was quite pricey–semi-catty of flesh for one hundred and eight taels.

But, in the eyes of this group, what was one hundred and eight taels? They wouldn’t even bend down to pick it up if they dropped it on the ground.

So until this moment, the group was very relaxed internally, it was just the countryside after all. With their net worth, it was a mere trifle.

Now, they had been slapped in the face.

This wasn’t a trifle at all; a catty of watermelon flesh was cheap, but a big watermelon weighed over ten catties, and adding it up came to a thousand taels. Ten watermelons would be worth ten thousand taels.

The crayfish were even more expensive, five hundred and eighty-eight taels per catty, and half of that was the shell, not meat. Fifty catties cost thirty thousand taels!

If watermelon and crayfish both had these prices, plus the cost of pork, chicken, and Stewed Lamb, finished, would the several tens of thousands or even hundred thousand taels silver notes they brought be insufficient…

Previously, Yang Ye said the minimum spending was ten thousand taels per person; they took it as a joke, but now the joke seemed to have gone too far…

Could a family leave here today without dropping a hundred thousand taels of silver…

Painful, flesh pain.

Felt like they were being slaughtered as fat pigs.

In with the white knife, out with the red, how ruthless!

“Hahaha, Miss Qiao, when you say fifty catties per person, do you mean fifty catties per individual, or fifty catties per household?” the head of the Chen Family asked.

Among the people who came this time, each household contained at least two people. Qiao Xiaomai’s statement was ambiguous.

Realizing this, Qiao Xiaomai quickly clarified, “Each household can only have fifty catties.”

Less than twenty households had come this time, and even by counting twenty households, it would only be a thousand catties.

The remainder would be enough last until the end of summer.

She had originally planned to send some to the ‘Ultimate Flavor’ restaurant, but now it seemed unnecessary. She’d send some to the Palace, keep some for her family, and the ten thousand catties of crayfish would be gone in minutes.

“Then give us fifty catties!” the head of the Chen Family declared with a wave of his hand, laughing heartily.
