Chapter 550: The First Sky Island Live Broadcaster
Both picking and setting up the stall went smoothly.
When the residents of Bika Island saw the stall that bought fruits at twice the usual price, they suddenly realized that they might have an additional source of income, so many of them went to the forest to look for fruit trees to make some extra money.
Mr. Toke, who makes a living as a fisherman, also came to the forest - fishing requires both luck and skills, and occasionally risks, but the fruits grow on the trees and will not run away. If someone buys them at a high price, isn't it just like picking up money?
Toke was a little upset that he didn't prepare earlier when he heard that the tour group wanted a large amount of fruit, so he missed the business opportunity.
But then again, who would have thought that they would still not be satisfied after buying out all the fruit shops on the island?
Having missed two or three days of preparation time, Tok now had no choice but to take his wife to the forest to pick some fruits and earn some money.
However, they were puzzled to find that the previously quiet forest had become very lively. Almost every short distance they walked, they could see people who came to "pick up money" like them.
Toke was surprised and asked, "Could it be that everyone in the town is here?"
The wife said, "That's hard to say. I heard the price of fruit has risen five times the usual price today, so it wouldn't be surprising if so many people showed up. But it seems like no one got much."
"Could it be that all the fruit in this forest has been picked?" Toke felt a little sad. It seemed that he was the one who instructed the tour group to come here to pick fruit. He didn't know how many hundreds of millions were lost this time.
"Anyway, let's look for it first."
The couple began searching in the forest.
…
"I got so much again..." Zhang Da, who had been busy for several days, also saw today's results.
All kinds of fruits once again filled the deck of the Amber, almost blocking the cabin door.
Shark Chili said, "We've almost collected all the fruit on the island. There are far fewer people coming to trade today than before. I guess raising the price will be useless."
In fact, when the price was raised five times, there were fewer people coming to trade, and only some unripe fruits were left in the forest. Unfortunately, the Thunder Fruit was still nowhere to be found.
Rui Mengmeng followed up by saying, "Misaka and I didn't get anything today, and I even heard some people complaining that they couldn't buy any fruit they wanted to eat these days. It felt like we had done something bad."
In fact, it is more than that. Due to their previous high purchase prices, some stores that need to purchase fruits as raw materials have difficulty in getting the goods.
It also caused some shop owners to be blinded by short-term profits and directly resell their own raw material reserves to make a fortune. They thought they could get new raw materials immediately, but now they are in an embarrassing situation.
The second type can only be said to be blinded by greed and brought trouble upon themselves. Zhang Da has no sympathy for them, but the first type has suffered an unexpected disaster. Zhang Da has decided to take care of their business more in the next few days as compensation.
As for ordinary people... Zhang Da thought about it and said, "Everyone has been free these past two days, so why don't we do some business?"
"Great! First, buy up all the fruits on the island, drive up the price, and then use the advantage of monopoly to sell the stockpiled fruits at a high price and make a fortune!" Ye Yan gave a thumbs up, "Boss Ye, you have the potential to become a big profiteer. I'm optimistic about you."
"Stop kidding. I want to sell products made from fruits, not ordinary fruits." Zhang Da was not sure whether the devil fruit grew little by little or suddenly turned into ordinary fruits, so he didn't want to sell ordinary fruits.
In this case, even if the devil fruit is formed by possessing an ordinary fruit, it can't be possessed by a fruit pie, right?
"Oh - I see~" Ye Yan suddenly realized, "If you cut it, you can sell it for a higher price. Fruit cutting and fruit scooping are all done this way. You are worthy of being Mr. Ye."
"I think you have a deep misunderstanding of me."
"Is there?"
"No?"
Zhang Da ultimately failed to restore his reputation, but that did not affect the appearance of a stall on the town’s central street the next day.
There were three tables lined up in a row on the stall. Artoria sat behind the middle table, wearing a napkin and holding cutlery, tasting the delicious fruit dishes in public.
A beautiful girl with delicate features ate with an elegant posture, naturally attracting a group of people.
At this time, Misaka sister was standing by, snatching the food from the lion's mouth - only taking a small bite, and then seriously talking about the ingredients of the food, the general cooking steps, and describing the taste very professionally.
Altria would take time out of her busy schedule to agree with Misaka Sisters' comments.
Such professional food reviews have attracted a large number of curious people.
Seeing that the time was right, Ye Yan immediately shouted from the other side, "Amber Food Stall, Amber Food Stall is open! Hand-made by Blue Ocean's best chef, Master Tang, the food is delicious!"
Tom, dressed in chef's uniform, nodded to everyone behind the three of them, looking like a hermit, while Rui Mengmeng, the kitchen helper, waved awkwardly.
However, the onlookers thought that "Master Tang" referred to Rui Mengmeng, and the cat was just a mascot. A beautiful female chef was still worth their attention for a while.
At this time, a Sky Island girl wearing a cat-ear headdress among the onlookers asked shyly, "Excuse me, how much is that dessert?"
Ye Yan used his eyes to signal her to calm down and be more normal, then said, "Good question! Our desserts are absolutely affordable. Not 99.8 billion, not 9.8 billion, but only 980 million to buy the same delicious dish!"
"It's just a fruit cake, but it costs 980 million liras. It's too expensive. How can anyone afford it?"
"Yeah, yeah... this Blue Sea guy is a liar, right?"
980 million Iqbal is equivalent to 98,000 Baili, which is the price of 196 servings of curry rice in a restaurant. If an average family of three eats frugally, it is enough for a month's food expenses. Who would use the money to buy a snack?
The residents were talking about it, and Ye Yan winked at the beautiful girl with cat ears.
The beautiful girl seemed to have accepted her fate and said cooperatively, "Although we also want to buy it, it's too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
"Good question!" Ye Yan's tone suddenly became excited. "A new store opening naturally comes with discounts, and today's discount is... 50% off! Only 490 million!"
"It doesn't matter if you still think it's expensive! Everyone here today is my family, Ye Yan . And now I have the biggest benefit for your family: one ticket is only 98 million Iq! What are you waiting for?"
The residents were eager to buy. The price reduction was too big, and other merchants were just thinking about making money, but this young man treated them like family. They were so touched!
However, no one took the lead in trying it for the time being, so Ye Yan winked at the beautiful girl with cat ears in the crowd.
The girl sighed and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"
"It's obvious!" Ye Yan pointed at Altria.
I saw her eating one portion after another gracefully and quickly.
The answer seems to be obvious . The aroma of food will not lie, and neither will the girl's behavior. If it wasn't really delicious, how could she eat so many servings?
The cat-eared girl took out some money, half-believingly, and said, "Then I'll buy one for everyone to try."
"Okay!" Ye Yan shouted, "One special fruit cake!"
The onlookers looked at the girl's reaction in anticipation. She picked up a small spoon and gently put a little cake into her mouth. Her big eyes lit up and said, "It's delicious! I want ten more!"
Ye Yan nodded with satisfaction. This was the only real reaction of this child throughout the whole process. It didn't even look like acting.
The residents who had been watching till now finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to take out their wallets:
"I want one too!"
"I want three!"
"I want three too!"
"Don't be anxious! Come one by one! Misaka, come and help me with the calculation!" The denomination of Ike was too large, and Ye Yan felt that he couldn't calculate it clearly, so he quickly pulled Misaka, who had strong calculation ability.
The cakes were quickly sold out, and those who didn't get any expressed their dissatisfaction.
Artoria also expressed dissatisfaction. She hadn't eaten enough before the cake was sold out. Then she placed an apple pie made of Sky Island apples in front of her, and Artoria regained her smile.
Ye Yan continued to sell: "For those who didn't get a cake, don't worry. I will introduce the next dessert to you!"
The same process follows, except that the cat-eared girl has left. However, the onlookers at this point no longer need to be encouraged by others to place orders.
