Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 2409: Chapter 2413: Making Money Is Hard

Gu Junzhu smiled as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead, "Be good!"

"Daddy, Mommy!" Xiao Shumiao ran towards them, holding a bunch of bright red fruits, "Daddy, Mommy, look quickly, my big brother picked a lot of fruits!"

Ye Xingbei hurriedly pushed Gu Junzhu away and looked down to tidy her clothes.

Xiao Shumiao ran in front of them, looked up and chuckled, "Daddy kissed Mommy, I saw it, Mommy got shy!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Xiao Shumiao raised his hands with fruits in front of them, grinning, "Mommy, your face is as red as the fruit."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Isn’t that too exaggerated?

"Are the fruits delicious?" She changed the topic.

"Delicious!" Xiao Shumiao said, "Brother Xiaochi washed one with mineral water for me, it’s sweet and sour, really tasty, very appetizing!"

"Appetizing? Why do you need to be appetized?" Ye Xingbei teased him.

"So I can eat more yummy food!" Xiao Shumiao said, "Every meal we make so many delicious dishes, but I always get full with just a little bit, I’m really aggrieved."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Oh, come on!

Her baby’s appetite is especially large now.

He’s five, Lingyue is eight, he eats more than Lingyue at every meal.

He’s aggrieved, then Lingyue must be really aggrieved!

"Young Master, put the fruits in here." Gu Cheng handed over a bag.

Xiao Shumiao put the fruits into the bag, but kept two in his hands.

He took the fruits and ran to Gu Chi, "Brother Xiaochi, can you wash these two for me again? I want to give them to my daddy and mommy to eat."

"Sure thing!" Gu Chi signaled to the bodyguard beside him, who handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Xiao Shumiao held the fruits while Gu Chi rinsed them with mineral water.

After washing them clean, Xiao Shumiao ran to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, handing each one, "Daddy, Mommy, try them, they’re really tasty!"

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei smiled as they took the fruits.

They took a bite, and indeed, it was sweet and juicy, with an excellent taste.

Xiao Shumiao looked up at them, eagerly asking, "Daddy and Mommy, is it delicious?"

They nodded simultaneously, "Delicious!"

Xiao Shumiao immediately beamed, "Mommy, why is it that such delicious fruits aren’t sold in fruit shops?"

"Probably because they’re hard to grow?" Ye Xingbei patted his little head, "Many plants can only survive in specific environments. If planted artificially, they’re hard to keep alive, with high costs and little return. No one grows them, so fruit shops have none to sell."

"Oh, I see..." Xiao Shumiao looked up at the fruits on the tree, "Then why doesn’t anyone pick them to sell? It doesn’t require investment, just pick and sell them for money, isn’t that great?"

Ye Xingbei chuckled, following his gaze, "Probably because they spoil easily? Many fruits aren’t easy to preserve; some spoil very quickly. Walking from the foot of the mountain to this forest takes at least three hours; the mountain roads are steep, and vehicles can’t get in, only manual carrying is possible. Picking the fruits and carrying them down, after a few hours, the fruits aren’t fresh anymore. Villagers can pick them to eat if they want, but to sell, they must go to the county. By the time they manage to get the fruits to the county, they spoil before selling, and they can’t make much money."

"Oh..." Xiao Shumiao sighed, "Earning money is so tough!"
