Gu'er's vegetables were selling fast.
The Aralia shoots, in particular, were a big hit.
Instead of selling the Aralia shoots by the pound, Gu'er sold them by the ounce.
The women buying vegetables were a little surprised, but they didn't mind. Why? Everyone knew Aralia shoots were difficult to harvest. Gu'er only had about five pounds in total. If she sold them by the pound, a few people would buy up her entire stock. But by selling them by the ounce, everyone could get a little. Besides, a couple of ounces was enough for a stir-fried dish, so the arrangement worked for everyone.
Some customers who had bought from Gu'er before were particularly fond of her green onions.
Others who had only heard about how good the green onions were, and hadn't planned on buying anything, still purchased some vegetables just to get the complimentary bunch.
Although she was busy, Gu'er was delighted. 'It's all money!' The sooner she earned enough, the sooner she could escape Zhou Mazi's control.
