Chapter 144: This thing is really not cheap.

Gu Chen did not expect his daughter-in-law to be so easily satisfied. He nodded and smiled.

'Okay, if you like it, let's go shopping?'

Upon hearing this, Ji Bianran nodded, 'Okay!'

She put the thermos that Gu Chen had given her, along with the sugar, in her white cloth bag, then took her daughter's hand and followed Gu Chen to the vegetable stalls in front of them.

It was almost March, and the vegetable stalls were full of vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, rape blossoms, cabbage, green peppers, and so on, all kinds, but mostly green.

This made a fruit stall not far away stand out even more.

There were red apples, green pears, and yellow bananas. Not only were they beautiful, but there were also a wide variety of them.

The most important thing was that there were even things like strawberries and cherries!

It was only March, and strawberries wouldn't be ripe until May at the earliest.

Not to mention cherries.

If memory served her correctly, they wouldn't be ripe until August.

These were clearly out-of-season fruits!

After taking a few steps, Xiaotangtang discovered the fruit stand in the middle of the vegetable stand.

The moment she saw the fruit, the little girl's eyes lit up, and the next second she let go of Ji Pianran's hand and, wobbling on her little feet, ran over to the fruit stall.

Gu Chen saw this and hurriedly followed behind her, 'Run slowly, don't fall!'

At this point, Tang Tang could hear and see nothing else, her eyes and heart were full of delicious food.

Recently, there has only been one apple at home.

She really wants to eat something else that is sweet and fruity!

The little girl stopped running when she reached the fruit stall.

Gu Chen looked at the eager Tang Tang and understood.

His daughter wanted fruit!

He leaned down, picked up the little girl in his arms, and looked at her lovingly.

'Tang Tang, do you want fruit?'

Tang Tang nodded seriously, her pink little mouth looking tender and soft in the sunshine.

Her voice was even softer and cuter.

'Yes,'

After all, she is a child, and for her, the world revolves around food!

Her little head is full of all the best things to eat!

Gu Chen grinned, 'So what would you like to eat? How about strawberries?'

After all, she is a little girl, and she probably loves strawberries.

Hearing that strawberries were for sale, the shopkeeper knew that business was coming, and he smiled warmly.

'My strawberries are all freshly picked and very fresh. If you want them, I'll give you a discount of 6 yuan per kilogram.'

Hearing this, the little girl hurriedly waved her hand,

and her eyes looked over at the dark red cherries.

'Daddy, Tangtang wants to eat that!'

Hearing that the child wanted to eat cherries, the boss's face suddenly broke into a smile.

'Don't look at her young, but she has a discerning eye for picking things! This stuff is expensive, it costs ten yuan per pound.'

Goodness, so expensive!

Gu Chen was a little surprised and looked carefully in the box containing the cherries.

He was really curious about what kind of fruit it was in a world where the price of meat was only 6 yuan per kilogram, and it was 10 yuan!

Not to mention, upon looking at it, he did discover the reason for its high price.

The cherries were indeed larger than average, and the colour was also darker, a purplish red, shining.

It looked very appetising and made people want to taste it.

Gu Chen casually pinched one, 'It's not cheap.'

At this price, it's almost as expensive as the wolfberries in his orchard!

The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and spoke the truth.

'There's nothing I can do, the cost is high. These are foreign cherries, not our traditional cherries. Look at the time of year!'

Gu Chen of course knew that these were out-of-season fruits, but he just felt that they were more expensive than his own wolfberries, and was simply curious.

But after he said that, Gu Chen understood that they were imported fruits.

No wonder they were expensive.

Sugar-plum was afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't buy them, so she pouted and looked at him like a spoiled child.

She said, 'Daddy...'

Lao Baigan is a good businessman. Seeing that the little one wanted to eat, he reached out and took one, wiping it off.

'Here, little friend, try one. Our cherries are free if they're not delicious!'

He was very confident in his cherries.

The little guy looked at Gu Chen and saw that she was nodding, so he held out his little hand and took one, then put it in his mouth and took a small bite.

The purple juice immediately ran down his little hand.

The cherries were sweet, full of water and had a slight sour taste, the flavour was really something.

Gu Chen looked at her daughter, who was still eating.

'How is it, is it delicious?'

The little one nodded immediately, unable to say anything other than delicious.

She really liked it a lot!

Gu Chen saw that his daughter liked it so much and immediately looked at the boss, 'Four catties!'

There was no choice, his daughter wanted to eat it, so of course the father had to buy it.

The boss was shocked. Although this young man looked quite handsome, just one glance at his cloth shoes showed that he was from the countryside.

He never would have thought that such a country bumpkin would be willing to buy so many fruits for the mouse that even city people would hesitate to buy.

Don't look at him as the boss, because of the price of this thing, he simply couldn't bear to buy a catty for his own children to eat.

The boss smiled, 'Okay, no problem, would you like anything else?'

At this moment, Ji Pianran had already walked over.

Seeing Gu Chen's mouth open to say four catties, she hurriedly said, 'I don't eat this stuff, just buy some for Sugar Plum. If you buy too much, be careful it spoils.'

The boss looked at Ji Pianran's face and saw that she was good-looking, so he couldn't help but add a few words.

'Oh, this is your wife. The child looks just like his mother. It's said that eating more fruit is good for the body, so eat more fruit to keep your skin looking good.'

Gu Chen didn't know if it was good for the body or not, but he knew it was delicious.

He looked at Ji Piran with a smile, 'It's fine, just buy more and keep it for later.'

Then he looked at the boss again, 'And weigh some strawberries.'

It is said that women love fruit, so he doesn't believe that Ji Pianran doesn't like anything, but just doesn't want to spend money.

He understands that life is short, and he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to spend her life being reluctant to spend money.

He just wants them to be happy and joyful.

To be honest, Ji still feels a little reluctant, but she is afraid that she will say too much and make Gu Chen hate her. After all, Gu Chen earns the money, and he buys these things for himself and the baby.

Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen and finally nodded silently, 'Then don't buy too much, you really can't finish it all.'

Gu Chen reached up and gave her a pat on the head, 'Okay, I'll listen to you, three pounds of strawberries!'

The boss didn't expect the kid to be so generous, with both cherries and strawberries.

That's fifty-five yuan.
