Chapter 12 The Most Profitable Day

"Son of a bitch, if I catch you again, I'll tear your skirt and beat your ass into a pulp!"

Li Fei couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Pah, you filthy hooligan, calling me a 'universal believer' and then having the nerve to ask for so much, serves you right!"

The wind in the mountain path carried Li Fei's words into the running car, and Zhou Huimin faintly heard him. Her pretty face instantly flushed with anger, and she couldn't help but curse back!

Li Fei, having no other choice, had to get on his electric tricycle and continue on his way.

An hour later, Li Fei arrived in the county city and found a vegetable market bustling with people. He stopped not far from the entrance, then took out an electronic scale and the advertising sign he had made at home!

It was just a large piece of cardboard, on which he wrote the words "Spiritual Energy Strawberries" and propped it up high.

"Come on, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, come take a look! Top-quality Spiritual Energy Strawberries, beautifying and nourishing, sweet-tasting, try before you buy!"

Once everything was ready, Li Fei immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs to attract customers.

"Wow, are these strawberries? I thought they were apples!"

"Yeah, how come these strawberries are so big? And I have to say, they really do look pretty!"

"Young man, how much are these strawberries per pound?"

"..."

And indeed, with their size and color, the Spiritual Energy Strawberries were absolutely top-grade. The moment Li Fei set them out, they immediately drew the eyes of many passersby.

Everyone treated them like a rare sight, stopping one by one to take a look.

This was the first time they had seen such large strawberries!

At the entrance, there were also a few vendors selling fruits. Seeing that Li Fei was attracting all the customers to his side, they suddenly grew anxious.

"Wow, did you spray some kind of drug on these strawberries for them to get so big?"

"Exactly, you can't just eat any fruit of unknown origin; be careful not to get diarrhea!"

Immediately, two vendors came forward, making insinuations.

"You don't know shit. These are top-quality Spiritual Energy Strawberries, grown with a secret method, containing trace elements. Eating them beautifies and nourishes, and they're absolutely natural and pollutant-free. If you don't know, then shut up, or I might just sue you for defamation!"

Li Fei had no mercy when it came to dealing with these malicious vendors, clapping back immediately!

The two vendors were immediately left speechless, their faces turning green.

"Really good for beautifying and nourishing?"

Just then, a curvy woman in her thirties, curious about the claim, asked!

Li Fei smiled at the woman and said, "Sister, you're so beautiful; I wouldn't deceive anyone, let alone you. If you really don't believe it, buy two pounds to try—'Don't watch the ads, watch the effects!'"

Li Fei, handsome and tall, looked even more distinguished after being transformed by the Spiritual Energy, almost as if he had an ethereal aura.

That smile made the woman's heart skip a beat, and her pretty face involuntarily blushed as she trembled slightly and said,

"You're such a sweet-talker. Alright then, give me two pounds! By the way, how much is it per pound?"

"Right away! The normal price is one hundred per pound, but for a beauty like you, I'll give you a discount, just eighty-eight per pound!"

Seeing that he had made his first sale, Li Fei swiftly quoted the price and began to weigh the strawberries.

The woman was startled and said, "Hold on, eighty-eight per pound? Isn't that too expensive?"

"Good heavens, one hundred per pound for ordinary strawberries? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

"Exactly, this kid's heart is too dark!"

The two vendors seized the opportunity and immediately chimed in, setting the tone for the gathering crowd.

"Come, beautiful lady, take a look at our strawberries instead, just thirty-five, all air-freighted from out of town, way more reliable than what this crook's 'top-quality' strawberries offer."

The bystanders, shocked by the price Li Fei mentioned, joined in the conversation.

"Young man, you're charging seafood prices for strawberries!"

"Right? Are your strawberries made of gold? Charging one hundred per pound is outrageous."

"..."

Just as Li Fei was about to be drowned in the onlookers' spit and criticism, the two vendors started feeling smug, hopping around triumphantly:

"Yeah, this guy thinks he can just butcher us like pigs. Don't fall for his tricks!"

"Exactly, exactly, this guy's too heartless. If you want to buy fruit, come to our stall. We treat everyone fairly and with absolute honesty!"

After saying that, the two men didn't forget to look at Li Fei with faces full of smugness, their eyes undisguised with mockery and ridicule.

Li Fei was utterly disgusted by these two, but he had anticipated this scene and calmly said, "Everyone, it's still the same old saying, 'Don't look at ads but at the effects.' Let's try before we buy!"

"Whether this strawberry is worth the price is up to you to decide!"

Having said that, he deftly took out a small knife and cut a strawberry into ten slices!

The instant the strawberry was cut, a refreshing and enticing fragrance wafted through the air.

"Wow, these strawberries smell so good, it makes my mouth water just from the smell!"

"Yes, they're so bright red and beautiful!"

Even the two feisty fruit vendors from before couldn't help but swallow their saliva and subconsciously said, "Damn, I've been selling fruit all my life and I've never seen one that smelled this amazing!"

"Handsome, let me try it quick!"

The young woman was eager as well!

"Yes, yes, let me try too!"

"I want to try!"

"..."

The crowd that had been watching also came to their senses and expressed their desire to try the strawberries.

Li Fei immediately handed out the sliced strawberries, but obviously, there weren't enough. He quickly cut two more strawberries and ensured that everyone on the scene got a taste.

"Wow, delicious, so delicious! Not only are they sweet, but the texture also has a slight crunch when you bite into it. The taste is fantastic, definitely the best strawberries I've ever eaten!"

The next second, the young woman let out an exclamation of surprise.

Li Fei, grinning, said, "What do you think? Miss, would you like two jin?"

"Give me five jin. My daughter will definitely love them!" the young woman said generously!

"Alrighty!"

Li Fei worked quickly and weighed out a bag of strawberries for the young woman: "It's a bit over, five and a half jin. I'll charge you four hundred and fifty, okay?"

"Yes, thanks, handsome!"

The young woman took the bag with a smile, threw a flirty glance at Li Fei, and asked, "Can I add you on WeChat?"

"No problem!"

Li Fei immediately took out the payment QR code that he had prepared in advance!

"Young man, I'll take five jin too!"

"Genius, I'll also take three jin!"

"I want ten jin!"

"..."

The crowd of onlookers virtually exploded with excitement; those who had tried the strawberries were almost all clamoring to buy some.

"Haha, sure, sure, there's enough for everyone. One at a time, line up. Don't worry, I'll be here selling every day!"

Li Fei was over the moon as he briskly weighed strawberries for everyone.

This sensational scene also attracted many passersby and other vendors.

Watching the excitement is a national hobby. Soon, more and more people began to gather.

There was even a queue forming to buy the strawberries.

In less than half an hour, Li Fei had sold two baskets of strawberries and earned over seventeen thousand.

This was most definitely the highest earning day of his life, and it had him overjoyed!

However, the two fruit vendors nearby weren't feeling so cheerful. They glanced at the bustling scene at Li Fei's stall and then at their own empty booths, their faces as gloomy as if their wives had run off with someone else.
