The reason Xiao Hua spoke so harshly was to clear their stance from the beginning. Once they opened the mall, though it would bring a lot of opportunities for those who did not have any job in their hands at the moment, at the same time it would affect the business of some.

Of course, this would lead to anger and resentment towards Yu Dong, since they could not do anything to these officials, those people would undoubtedly try to find trouble with Yu Dong but he did not want to happen, they were doing business and not forcing anyone to a corner.

He looked at the mer who just spoke and then stated coldly, ” We are selling and as you are our customers, you are buying. Neither of us is doing forceful business, if you do not like to buy our products then you can always refuse. And continue buying the products that are being sold outside. The choice has always been in the hands of the customer this is why we say that the customer is god.”

That was right, if they did not want to buy from Yu Dong it was not like she was going to stop them from buying her products or the ones outside her mall, if they wanted to buy it was their choice and if they did not want to buy it was their freedom.

The mer who just spoke pursed his lips and turned silent. Even though he admitted that he was quite upset with what Xiao Hua said, the mer knew when to stop. The rest of the crowd of onlookers was looking at him with slight reproach and he did not want to make trouble for himself.

His wife was just a small official and she did not have much power in the Big River Town, if he were to offend the people who were standing next to him, he was sure that his wife would divorce him and send him back to his maternal home.

After the small hiccup passed, Yu Dong brought the rest of the crowd to the shelves that were selling bread, butter and jam.

Magistrate Li, Qiao Sha and Song Yixu had eaten these things before and thus they were not really surprised. However, the rest of the crowd was simply mind-blown by the bread that was neatly stacked on the shelves.

” It tastes so soft! It’s like I am eating a cloud.”

“… this smell of milk but there is no taste of milk, if anything it’s soft chewy and really sweet!”

” Apply this jam on it, it will taste better! I never thought that something could taste so good!”

Though Yu Dong could have sold the bread and jam at a high price since it was something unique she decided to set the price of bread, jam and butter at a reasonable price.

The bread was sold at two loaves for one tael and the strawberry and blueberry jams were sold at the price of two taels per bottle. Of course, if anyone wanted they could buy them in single pieces. Butter being the simplest product of the three was sold at three hundred cents a bottle, which attracted a lot of attention from the customers.

They really wanted to purchase the products but they all knew that they needed to take a look at the entire mall before making their decision. If they used up all the sum of money that they brought with them then how would they purchase the things that they did not see?

” Miss Yu, we have been smelling something sweet ever since he stepped on this floor. Can you tell us what is it?” One of the men who came with Yu Cheng and the rest questioned Yu Dong. However, unlike Yu Cheng, this man was a true rich gentleman. He was polite and courteous.

When Yu Dong turned to look at the man who spoke to her, she raised her brows slightly. She had never met a true man ever since she arrived in this world and had to admit that the men here were treated rather well, the man in front of her was not only handsome. He looked even better than her, there was no pore in his skin and he looked like someone who had never seen the world.

Unlike her who was covered with callouses from head to toe, even her complexion was not as good as the man in front of her! Truly, this man was more good-looking than her!

However, maybe the mers behind her thought that she was charmed by the man who spoke to her. After all, he was taller than Yu Dong and looked really good-looking with that gentle and handsome persona of his. Thus the five mers poked Yu Dong on the back reminding her that she did not need to pull anyone more in their family.

Xiao Hua was more straightforward, he pinched her on the waist and then sneered coldly, ” If you dare to make a move, you better be ready to be beaten.”

How was this rotten man any better than him? He was much more good-looking!

As he thought about this, he raised his head and then puffed out his chest which led to the man who spoke just now to be filled with confusion. He just asked about what was smelling good, why was this mer looking at him as if he was ready to unleash gunpowder?

Yu Dong pulled her fiance back and smiled at the man who had just spoken to her and then said, “It’s nothing unique. I and my family tried to grow rice but since we were the only ones who grew the rice there was not much stock, only five hundred catties. Just so you know the stock is limited and will be re-stocked tomorrow once it finishes.”

As she spoke she turned to the servers who were standing at the corner, it was only then did the customers saw three and four bowls of rice sitting on the counter with rice sacks behind the counter.

On the counter, there was a measuring tool and some packages that had Bo and Bun mall’s stamp.

” You can taste the rice as well but I would like to tell you all to leave a bit for others as well. With the limited stock, we cannot cook any more than this,” Yu Dong was a bit embarrassed as she said this and her face turned a bit red. However, no one found her annoying or miserly.

Five hundred catties wasn’t much to begin with, if the rice grown by Yu Dong and her family was as good as the vegetables that were being sold at her mall then surely these five hundred catties would vanish in a jiffy!

This time even Qiao Sha and the rest took a bite from the rice bowl with disposable chopsticks and were stunned when they finished eating the rice that Yu Dong was supplying in her mall.

It did not only taste sweet but it had a sort of freshness, the second they took a bite of the rice grains, they felt their body getting warmed up from the inside and the stress and worries that were carrying on their shoulders lightened up a little bit.

The rice was soft and chewy with a subtle hint of moisture within it. But it was not too mushy and it was not too dry, it was perfect.

” This…This is good!” Qiao Sha remarked, that though she hated Yu Dong because the latter was keeping her husbands away from her, she had to admit that she could not find any fault with this woman whenever she launched a new product!

” The rice indeed tastes wonderful,” Magistrate Li nodded while Song Yixu agreed with her as well. The second the three of them praised the fine rice, that Yu Dong was selling, the crowd of onlookers also rushed to take a bite.

The second they took a bite from the rice that was placed for sample in a bowl, their eyes lit up, it was really good! However, something this good must be sold at a hefty price as well.

They turned to look at the price set by Yu Dong and sure enough, a catty was sold at ten taels. If this was someone else they would have thought that the person in front of them was unscrupulous but the truth was that the rice that Yu Dong was selling was better than the one they had ever tasted.

In fact, they were certain that if they were to look for the same quality of rice they might not find it in the capital either because most of the officials had been to the capital and they knew that the rice sold at the capital was not this good.

One of the mers who was pregnant tugged at his wife’s sleeves and then said, ” W…wife I do not feel nauseous after eating this rice… can we buy it please?”
