Zhou Gu'er hadn't guessed wrong. The woman listened to Gu'er's sincere words and truly took a liking to her.
"Alright then, give me a bit of these dandelion greens, the hairy-stemmed ones, and these cucumber-scented ones. I don't want the fiddlehead ferns. I've tried stir-frying them with meat, but they always taste bitter. I don't like that flavor."
The woman pointed to the items she wanted to buy.
"Of course, Ma'am. You're my first customer, so I'll give you a bundle of green onions for free. We grow them ourselves, and they're very sweet. Take them home and give them a try. I'll also give you a handful of fiddlehead ferns. They aren't bitter if you cook them right. Let me teach you..."
Zhou Gu'er's hands moved nimbly as she packed the vegetables, adding in the free green onions and fiddlehead ferns. It was her first sale; she definitely had to offer a little something extra.
"It's really not bitter if you cook it this way?"
The woman asked doubtfully, holding her purchase.
