Chapter 251 The He siblings meet
The He family has a large stockpile of various fabrics, including the most common coarse linen, fine cotton, and luxurious brocade, covering almost all price ranges.
But Shen Shuli wanted ready-made clothes, since several hundred people were waiting to change.
Shen Shuli asked, "Uncle He, I need a lot of clothes and I'm in a hurry to wear them. Could you find someone to help me make a batch?"
She now wants to bring some business to the He family. Anyway, there's plenty of silver in her space, and exchanging it for cloth would definitely be a good deal.
He Yunzhang hadn't expected to receive such a large order, but considering his current situation, his initial enthusiasm quickly subsided.
He looked distressed: "Young lady, it's not that I'm unwilling to do business with you, it's just that my family just gave our embroiderers a month-long vacation, and it will be difficult to find enough people for the time being."
"Why don't you go and take a look at other clothing stores?"
Shen Shuli was surprised that He Yunzhang would consider things from the customer's perspective, which made her feel even better about him.
“No rush. We estimate we’ll be in the city for three days. Make as much as you can during those three days, and I’ll buy it all. I’ll also take all the remaining fabric. How about that?” Shen Shuli said.
He Yunzhang never expected such a turn of events.
He made no attempt to hide his joy: "In that case, I thank you for your kindness, young lady. I will make arrangements for this shortly."
"Please wait a moment in the shop while I go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage to transport the fruit into the city."
He Yunzhang hadn't forgotten about the fruit, and immediately went out to run errands.
Soon, He Yunzhang brought five carriages and horses, and the drivers had already been arranged.
Shen Shuli and her group left the city with He Yunzhang.
Shen Shuli secretly contacted her father via walkie-talkie.
"Father, we've already left the city. Have the prisoners hide better, have everyone move the fruit to the side of the main road, and then call Madam Chen and her family out so they can see their relatives," Shen Shuli instructed.
Su Yunhai: "Okay, daughter."
When Shen Shuli and her group arrived at the front of the procession, they saw Su Yunhai selling fruit by the roadside, attracting a curious crowd of onlookers.
Su Yunhai did not drive away the passersby, and even cut up a few fruits for them to taste.
"You've probably never seen this kind of fruit before, have you? We transported it from the south; it's very precious. Please try some," Su Yunhai said cheerfully.
Upon hearing this, passersby became even more interested in the fruit.
Some people couldn't wait to try it, while others were worried about the price and didn't dare to touch it at all.
"Try it, it's alright." Su Yunhai handed each person a petal.
In a short period of time, more than ten avocados were given out.
"Wow, it's really delicious. I've never tasted fruit like this before. It's creamy and has a slightly sour flavor. It's so good. How much is it? I'd like to buy a few for my family to try."
A well-dressed woman looked at Su Yunhai with bright eyes and asked him a question.
"Hehe, one tael of silver each." Su Yunhai had already spoken with Shen Shuli beforehand and knew that this was the price his daughter was selling them for.
The woman's hand holding the fruit trembled.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, knowing that the fruit would not be cheap, she did not expect that one would cost one tael of silver!
This isn't fruit, it's made of silver!
The woman was heartbroken, but she still wanted to buy some, since the fruit was indeed rare and suited her taste perfectly.
"Then I'll buy three."
She had originally planned to spend one or two taels of silver to buy a few, but now three taels of silver could only buy three. Sigh, a storm was brewing in her heart.
Su Ding'an enjoyed the process of selling things and stayed by Su Yunhai's side the whole time. Upon seeing this, he immediately took three fruits and handed them to the woman.
He had a sweet tongue and sincerely flattered her, saying, "Madam, you are so generous. You look like a lady from a wealthy family, and your life must be very comfortable and prosperous. After eating our fruit, your future will surely be even more thriving! Here's three taels of silver for you!"
The woman was initially a little distressed, but after being teased by the young boy, she felt much better.
They readily handed over the money.
“That’s right. I’ll buy more if my family enjoys the food,” the lady said generously.
Other passersby were shocked and distressed to see that the fruit actually cost one or two taels of silver.
Only a minority can afford it.
Most passersby left when they realized they couldn't afford it, to avoid feeling upset.
But there were still a few people surrounding them wanting to buy it.
Without exception, all of these people were dressed in fine clothes, clearly indicating that they were not short of money.
After seeing off all the passersby, Shen Shuli then called on the bodyguards to help load the fruit onto the cart.
He Yunzhang hadn't expected that this girl had so many family members.
There are at least thirty or forty people working on it.
In just a few breaths, the car was completely filled.
"Uh, there are too few cars." He Yunzhang looked at the half-loaded truck, with at least half still on the ground, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Shuli glanced at the Chen family of four, who were watching nervously in their direction, and then looked at He Yunzhang.
"Uncle He, come with me for a moment."
He Yunzhang didn't know what Shen Shuli wanted to say to him, and he had to avoid people, so he quickly followed.
The grove of trees behind the mountain.
“Uncle He, look who’s over there.” Shen Shuli pointed to Madam Chen.
When He Yunshang saw that her elder brother had really come, she couldn't hold back her tears. She was already crying her eyes out and was having trouble breathing.
"Brother!" He Yunshang called out, her voice trembling.
When He Yunzhang saw his younger sister hiding behind the hill, his scalp tingled with fear.
He never expected to meet his younger sister like this.
He immediately turned to look at Shen Shuli, his eyes reddening as he bowed deeply to her, expressing his heartfelt gratitude: "Miss Shen, I will forever remember this great kindness! Thank you!"
Without waiting for Shen Shuli's response, he strode towards He Yunshang.
"Little sister, how did you get here?!" He Yunzhang's face was already covered in silent tears.
Chen Zhiheng and his son supported He Yunshang, their eyes filled with tears as they looked at He Yunzhang.
Their worries vanished the moment they saw He Yunzhang, leaving only gratitude and emotion.
Shen Shuli didn't disturb the two families' reminiscing and retreated to a distance.
She brought the clothes she had prepared for the Mu family to Mu Wanjun.
Shen Shuli explained, "I didn't buy many clothes this time, so please change into them first."
"Sigh, I haven't showered in half a month, and I'm almost reluctant to waste my new clothes."
Although Mu Wanjun expressed her regret, she didn't slow down at all.
She immediately found a secluded spot and asked Shen Shuli to watch over things while she quickly changed into new clothes.
"Doesn't it look good?" Mu Wanjun was very satisfied with the clothes her best friend had chosen for her and started to show off.
Shen Shuli nodded and took out a mirror from her spatial storage, handing it to Mu Wanjun.
"It's so beautiful!"
Mu Wanjun took the mirror, wanting to admire her own beauty, but when she saw that her face was covered in dirt and her hair was a mess like a bird's nest, she gritted her teeth in anger.
"You fool me!"
Mu Wanjun immediately reached out and pinched Shen Shuli's ticklish spot.
Shen Shuli wasn't about to let her succeed; she was already on guard and ran far away.
But her arrogant laughter lingered, making Mu Wanjun furious.
