It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 50 The first sale (the eleventh day of the first month)

Everything was ready, before dawn the next day, Su Rui took Su Ying into the bullock cart, and set off for the county with Su Changle and Su Changying's family.

Su Rui hadn't been to the county so early. She didn't expect that there would be a special morning meeting in the county. There were so many people. Seeing so many people, Su Ying grabbed Su Rui's sleeve nervously, and Su Rui gently Take a picture.

"Don't be nervous, remember what the eldest sister called you on the road."

"Yeah" she agreed, but she still didn't let go of her hand, Su Rui glanced at her and then went to her.

Su Changying parked the ox cart at the door of the grocery store, paid a penny to help take care of it, and picked up a load of hemp leaf chicken cakes, "Then I'll take Ying girl with me?"

Su Rui nodded, and said: "It's okay if the things can't be sold, you must pay attention to safety, and don't quarrel with others."

Su Changying laughed, "Don't worry, I'll be fine with me."

"Ah..." Su Rui watched the two of them walking to the market, and they had an agreement on the way. He and Su Ying went to the market, and she and Su Changle walked in the alley, and walked around the neighborhood.

"Su Ji Ma Ye, Chicken Cake, the secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, don't miss it when you pass by."

Su Rui walked a few steps and yelled.At the beginning, no one responded, and after a few more yells, someone really opened the door and asked, "Su Ji Moye? Egg cake? What is it?"

Su Rui's enthusiastic plate is a piece of chicken cake that was specially cut for free tasting for customers yesterday: "Auntie, this is a pastry made by the Su family's ancestral secret recipe. Eat it. I guarantee that you will still want to eat it. You can try it." taste?"

People nowadays are relatively simple, and they will buy half a catty if they taste it. Unlike modern times, many people go to the supermarket and wish to fill themselves up with free samples...

"is it?"

The aunt took it into her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, but she didn't think there was anything special about it. She sniffed it suspiciously, and a sweet smell came into her nose. She carefully tasted a small piece of chicken cake, and opened her eyes wide in surprise, " This, this tastes really good."

"Auntie is trying these two kinds." Su Rui took half a piece of sweet and salty hemp leaves and handed them to her.

"Well, it's not bad. It's really delicious. How do you want to sell it?"

Su Rui smiled: "Auntie, we are opening a big bargain now, and we are doing activities! Buy three catties and get half a catty free, and buy five catties and get one catty free. They are all [-] Wen per catty."

"Auntie, our egg cakes are all made of pure white flour, eggs and sugar, while the hemp leaves are fried with a lot of oil. They are all real materials. I guarantee that you won't lose money if you buy them. Can't be fooled."

The man couldn't help laughing, and stopped him and said: "You girl, you can't talk so fast, and I didn't say no to buying it. Okay, I want five catties, three catties of chicken cakes, and two catties of sweet hemp leaves. One catty needs salty hemp leaves."

Su Chang was happy to see that it was sold, so he quickly put down the pole and started to pack hemp leaves and chicken cakes.

"Okay, Auntie has a total of 150 Wen, thank you for your patronage."

The man took the packaged food, put away the companion he had found, turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, what should I do if I still want to buy it in the future?"

Su Rui: "Auntie, we've been hawking near the market recently. If we don't see it later, we probably rent a booth or shop."

"Row."

The opening went smoothly and I sold one copy, and then it sold even faster. In less than half an hour, all of them were sold out, and many of them were not bought. I asked if I would come tomorrow, and I got an accurate answer, so I let Su go. Rui and the two left.

Back to the bullock cart, I saw that Su Ying and the two had already returned, and it seemed that they had been back for a while.

Su Changying danced and danced like Su Rui and the two described the scene at that time.

"As soon as we arrived at the market, before we started shouting, people already asked about it. Some people just bought a catty to try it, and after taking two bites on the spot, they bought another five catties. People immediately started grabbing it. As a result, it was sold out within two quarters of an hour."

Su Ying has never had such a sense of accomplishment like today, and said happily: "Sister, we can prepare more today. Many people in the future were recommended by relatives and friends to buy. It turned out that they were sold out, so they will come back tomorrow."

Su Rui didn't expect it to be sold so quickly, she had already made plans all morning: "Okay, then let's go back now."

Su Changying hurriedly turned the bullock cart around, "Let's go"

On the way back, Su Changle asked: "Miss Rui, how did you think of those words?"

Su Rui laughed when she heard the words: "Isn't this what the hawkers outside often yell? I just added some words and changed them a little, there is no difference."

"Eldest sister, we didn't call out, and someone bought it."

Su Rui pinched Su Ying's face: "So my second sister is really good. Make persistent efforts tomorrow..."

"Um"

When we arrived at Su Rui's house, Aunt Hua and others were also there, and Su Rui told everyone the good news.

Aunt Hua said excitedly: "Then we are going to do it now, you guys have a rest first."

Aunt Lin also explained: "Min'er, you can't do anything else, just paste oiled paper bags."

"Okay, mother"

After they were all busy, Su Rui began to settle the accounts with Su Changying: "Thirty Wen a catty, we made a total of fifty catties of hemp leaves and fifty catties of chicken cakes, we gave five catties here, did you give it?"

Su Changying quickly answered: "I gave you three catties."

Su Rui continued: "Well, that is eight catties given away, and there are 92 catties left, which is 760 Wen. After the cost of 760 Wen per catty, 350 catties is a penny. We earned [-] Wen. Each of you The two achievements are [-] Erwen."

Su Rui settled the accounts, threaded the copper coins, and pushed them in front of them: "Uncle Chang Le, Uncle Chang Ying, you deserve these."

Su Changle took the copper coins with trembling hands. He never expected that he would earn more than 300 copper coins in less than half a day in his lifetime... Thinking about him going out to find odd jobs, he would only earn fifty or sixty copper coins a day at most.

Su Changying was also very happy. He drove an ox cart early and returned late to pick up people, and earned less than a penny in one winter. This easily earned more than 300 in less than two quarters of an hour, and there may be more tomorrow...

Seeing that both of them were immersed in some kind of world, Su Rui didn't bother them, just drinking tea quietly.

After a while, Su Changle came back to his senses: "Girl Rui, uncle is not lying, if you need help in the future, uncle will definitely help."

Su Changying also promised: "Add uncle as well."

Su Rui smiled: "There are people who need Uncle Chang Ying's help now. Didn't I say I wanted to buy a donkey cart a few years ago? Didn't you say that the donkey has a bad temper and asked to buy a mule cart?"

"Yes, I did."

Su Rui continued: "I think I'll buy it in two days. The ox cart is too slow, and there is no carriage on it. It's okay if it doesn't rain or snow now. If it rains or snows, it will destroy both the chicken cake and the hemp leaves." gone."

Su Changle thought it was a big deal: "Chang Ying, if you travel back and forth to the county, you should know a lot of people."

Su Changying nodded: "I know that there is a Majia village ten miles away from our village, and there are several families in their village that raise donkeys and mules."

Su Changle said: "Then I will go with you?"

"Okay, let's go now."

Su Rui hurriedly stopped her, pointed at the hourglass and said, "It's lunchtime for this horse, it's not too late to go after dinner. We won't run away for lunch, we still have the buns and steamed buns we made for the Chinese New Year, so eat whatever you want."

After lunch, Su Rui handed Su Changle 40 taels of silver ingots, "Uncle Chang Ying said that mules cost about 20 taels to 30 taels, and carriages cost about three to five taels. The 40 taels are based on the best It’s enough to buy, you can choose.”

Su Changle put away the money and said, "Miss Rui, don't worry. Your Uncle Chang Ying and I will pick a good mule back."

Su Rui smiled: "I definitely believe you. Be careful all the way..."
