Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1256 - 1258: How Much Are They Selling For? How’s Business?

The next day

The family was having breakfast, and because of Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian’s visit, the breakfast was quite sumptuous.

At the dining table, Yang Ming’s father asked worriedly, "Old Third, what are you and your wife planning to do about the mountain? We’ve been away for several days, and those hazelnuts might have already been picked clean."

"Dad, don’t worry about this. I’ll go out later to see what’s going on, and then decide," Yang Ming reassured everyone.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang asked curiously, "What are you talking about? What decision needs to be made?"

At this moment, the second son’s wife chimed in angrily, "Xiangxiang, a few days ago, the third sister-in-law discovered that there are edible things on the trees on the back mountain of our village, so she decided to buy the back mountain. But who knew, before we could buy it, the news somehow got out, and people in the village went up to the mountain to pick what the third sister-in-law found, and since we’ve been in Lin County, those might have all been picked by now. Isn’t that infuriating?"

"This happened? What kind of food is it? Let me see," Wang Xiangxiang asked with interest.

"I’ll go get it." At this moment, Yang Dong stood up, went out, and came back with a handful of hazelnuts. "Sis, it’s this thing, it’s called hazelnut, you crack it open and the inside is edible."

Both Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian looked at the hazelnuts Yang Dong mentioned. Chu Lian, surprised, said, "This is called hazelnut? Isn’t it called hard nut?"

"Hard nut? You recognize it?" Now it was Xiaoxiao’s turn to be surprised. Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang come from a wealthy family, naturally having seen many things. Maybe it’s just that people here don’t recognize hazelnuts, and they’re available elsewhere.

Chu Lian explained, "It’s just that these days, this food suddenly started selling in town. Now that I think about it, it must be people from the village selling it. They call this thing hard nut."

"How much are they selling it for? How’s it selling?" This was what Xiaoxiao was most concerned about, as it directly influenced her next steps.

"Five wen a pound, but there are more people looking than buying. After all, no one has seen it before, and they’re afraid it might cause some health issues. I also thought about buying some to let Xiangxiang try, but then thought better of it. Xiangxiang is pregnant, and if anything happened, it wouldn’t be good."

"..." Five wen? Such a good thing selling for just five wen? You know, in modern times, hazelnuts, freshly picked and sold wholesale without processing, can sell for more than thirty yuan when good, and at least in the teens when not as good. That’s way more than pork prices, and the price goes up even more after processing.

She originally planned to heavily promote it, package it, and sell it at a high price!

"Quickly crack some open for me, let me try. Since Xiaoxiao discovered it, there won’t be any problem." Wang Xiangxiang was already eager to eat.

I’ll go, sis. You wait." Yang Dong said, and then went to crack the hazelnuts, moving astonishingly fast, and in no time had cracked a pile.

Wang Xiangxiang tasted the hazelnuts as she wished, "It’s quite delicious. Xiaoxiao, you’re quite something."

At this moment, Yang Dong said, "Third sister-in-law even used this to make pancakes for us, it was really good."

"Really? Then I want to eat it too."

Xiaoxiao smiled, conceding to Wang Xiangxiang’s love for food, admitting that she can’t match her enthusiasm for eating. "I’ll make some for you at noon. Now eat less, as you shouldn’t eat too much of this at once."
