“Actually, it’s no big deal…” The person waved their hand, “Looks are natural, everyone wants to be good-looking.”

“You’re very kind.” Qingyue politely said.

As the person walked away, Aunt came to buy stir-fried ferns again, “Young girl, why are you wearing a mask on your face?”

“To hide my ugliness.”

“Poor thing, it’s not your fault for being ugly. Here’s an extra ten copper coins, no need for change.”

“Oh.” She accepted it. If everyone gave her ten extra copper coins for calling her ugly, she would be rich. She would respond to customers calling her little wife or young girl. Let people think if she was married or not. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When she was almost sold out, a young man walked over and looked her up and down, “Girl, your stir-fried ferns sell well.”

She nodded, “Many customers ask me to sell it every day, they all say it’s delicious. Do you want to buy some too? I only have about a jin left, do you want me to weigh it for you?”

The young man nodded, “I remember the first day you came to sell stir-fried ferns, you didn’t wear a mask. You are so ugly, so everyone has seen it, actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t cover it.”

Su Qingyue could tell that this man should be a waiter at some restaurant. She handed him the wrapped ferns, “That’s because I didn’t have medicine on my face at the time. These past few days I’ve put medicine on, so I have to cover it up to avoid scaring my customers.”

“So that’s why.” He said, “Girl, I am a waiter at Rich Source Tavern, our shopkeeper would like you to come over.”

Qingyue noticed that the waiter had been watching her sell ferns at the market for the whole morning. He had also been observing her during the past few days. With her intelligence, she could roughly guess the matter. Of course, they were not interested in her, but… she was going to have some income now.

She cleaned up her basket and balance rod, took off her mask and put it in her sleeve pocket, then gestured with her hand, “You lead the way, and I’ll follow.”

The waiter saw her face covered in green and yellow, with pus sores all over, and was startled, “Hiss!”

“Wow!” The passing vendors and pedestrians were also shocked.

“Ghost!” A few timid women cried out.

“Mom! I saw a fierce ghost during the day!” An old granny passing by slapped her chest, looking as if she was about to be scared to death.

There was immediately a commotion nearby.

Many people dared not look at Su Qingyue, but could not help but look at her ghostly appearance.

Su Qingyue generously let people look at her, her expression calm and not blinking an eye. The madder the better! It would be great to really scare people to death, the more the better.

The waiter stood a few steps away from her, also in shock, “Gir…girl… why did you take off your mask? Didn’t you say you were afraid of scaring customers?”

“Yeah. I was afraid of scaring customers.” She pointed at her empty baskets, “My ferns are sold out, so I won’t scare the ‘customers’ anymore. If passersby get scared, I can’t help it. I can’t wear a mask all the time, it’s not good for my face, I also feel suffocated. Actually, I don’t really care about scaring people. I’m just afraid that people who buy my stir-fried ferns will see my face and won’t eat my vegetables, and it will be hard to sell my vegetables next time, so I wore the mask.”

“Oh…” the waiter wiped his sweat. That was the real truth. Originally, he wanted a taste of the stir-fried ferns, but now, looking at her face, he couldn’t eat it anymore.

A young master in blue who was just passing by saw the commotion and stopped.. He heard Su Qingyue’s words and couldn’t help but take another look at her, “This girl is really interesting!”
