Chapter 239: Chapter 240: Magical Water

Good Home Supermarket was also packed at this time—it was peak hours, after all. But soon, the manager and Mr. Zhang noticed that something wasn’t right.

Some people were even rushing out the door empty-handed, heading straight for the supermarket across the street.

"What’s going on?" The manager was stunned. ’Ever since our partnership with the food safety company, more people have been willing to come here to buy produce.’

"I don’t know..." Mr. Zhang was also baffled.

Just then, they saw even more people heading across the street.

These people were all rushing, looking very excited.

Before long, perhaps half the customers in the store had run off.

"Hey..." The manager finally started to panic. He hurried inside and asked an employee, "What’s happening? Where did everyone go?"

"They’ve run off..." The employee also looked completely bewildered. "I heard them saying the vegetables sold across the street are delicious, so they all ran over there."

"Huh?" The manager paused, then immediately headed over to see for himself.

He had to go see for himself.

Mr. Zhang followed him.

It had been a long time since Shunlong Supermarket was this bustling. The employees could hardly believe their eyes.

But seeing the customers snapping up the produce, Qi Nanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Mr. Zhang and the manager from Good Home Supermarket arrived. When they saw the shopping frenzy and glanced at the display board, they understood everything.

The color drained from their faces.

Qi Nanyan let out a cold laugh, stepped forward, and said to Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, I bet you didn’t expect this, did you? Turns out we can survive just fine without having to work with you."

"Don’t get cocky!" Mr. Zhang cursed inwardly. ’Damn it, how dare this fucking farmer ruin my plans? Just you wait.’

"It’s not over yet!"

After saying this, Mr. Zhang hurried away.

The manager of Good Home Supermarket looked awkward. Although they were competitors, he had acted as the villain’s accomplice this time, which was hardly honorable. To be so thoroughly beaten now made it even more embarrassing.

So, he immediately followed Mr. Zhang and left.

Qi Nanyan felt a rush of satisfaction. For days, they had been crushing her, leaving her unable to breathe, but now she could finally relax.

"Mr. Li, your produce is selling incredibly well here!" Qi Nanyan called Li Yang and immediately urged, "But the amount you’re supplying is a little low. Could you provide more?"

"I can’t!" Li Yang refused. "Our production capacity is limited right now. I couldn’t supply more even if I wanted to. If you want a larger supply, you’ll have to wait until we’ve expanded our cultivation. For now, we’ll have to stick with this amount. When our capacity increases, we’ll send you more without you even having to ask. After all, we want to make money too, right?"

Qi Nanyan nodded. "Alright, we’ll leave it at that for now. In that case... you won’t be working with anyone else, right?"

Li Yang understood her concern and said with a laugh, "I can’t even keep you fully supplied right now. How could I possibly work with anyone else?"

Realizing he had a point, Qi Nanyan smiled faintly. "Well then, I hope President Li’s business continues to prosper."

"Thank you!"

After hanging up, Li Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

’My biggest worry was that the price was too high, but from the looks of it, money doesn’t seem to be an issue. That makes sense. People can afford to eat this at a hotel, so buying it to cook at home is even cheaper. They can definitely afford that.’

A smile spread across his face at the thought.

Mr. Zhong walked over, glanced at Li Yang, and after a moment, asked, "Let me ask you something. Why is the produce you grow here so delicious?"

Li Yang put his phone away and smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Mr. Zhong, what are you getting at?"

"And your produce grows so quickly..." Mr. Zhong ignored Li Yang’s question and pressed on. "Do you have a special method? Is it the same principle you used to cure the Morning Bell Flower?"

Li Yang thought for a moment. ’Since Mr. Zhong seems like a decent guy, I’ll tell him half and keep half.’ He said aloud, "Mr. Zhong, we have a spring here. It only produces a few drops of water a day. I just so happened to... discover the wonderful effects of this stuff, so I started using it for farming. When I mix this water in, there’s no crop that won’t grow well, and none that won’t grow fast. It’s that simple."

"What kind of water?" Mr. Zhong asked urgently.

"Ah, that I can’t say..." Li Yang gave a dry laugh. "But I can give you some. Come, come on over to my house."

Once inside, Li Yang got a small bottle of water for Mr. Zhong.

It really was just a small bottle.

This small amount shouldn’t be underestimated. Ever since Li Yang learned that the ring could only produce two or three drops a day, he had been diligently collecting it. Factoring in his own usage, this was all the stock he had managed to save up over time. Of course, once diluted with water, it became a considerable amount.

"This is the stuff!" Li Yang said. "This is my secret. I can’t say any more than that. To be honest, I don’t even know what this stuff is, just that it works especially well when diluted with water."

Mr. Zhong was dumbfounded. "You’re not pulling my leg, are you?"

"You can try it for yourself. Just dilute it with some water..." Li Yang said earnestly. "Use a tiny bit, and you’ll see what I mean."
