Chapter 23

Granny Luo picked up one of the chopsticks, took a bite, and chewed slowly.

So did Ji Kang, and they nodded while eating.

"It doesn't look like much, but it tastes really good. It's not only crispy but also chewy. It's a bit spicy, and it's eaten with steamed buns. It's just porridge, and it's delicious on its own. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"The vegetables and melons outside cost a penny a catty. I picked ten catties, but they only yielded more than three catties. At least they have to sell for ten pennies a catty. Soy sauce is not cheap, and there are a lot of condiments in it."

"Ten Wen, it feels a little expensive, I'm afraid no one will buy it"

"That's because no one buys it in our village. There are a lot of rich people in the town. The merchants who walk back and forth don't care about the two dollars. Besides, your daughter's mouth is sweet. With my three-inch tongue, I don't believe no one will buy it." Buy it, I will go out to collect melons tomorrow morning, the Li family will not accept their vegetables, our family, let’s make a fortune silently.”

"You little man, anyway, mother can't stop you, so you can do whatever you want."

"hey-hey"

Ji Kang sneaked a glance at her from the side, then quickly lowered his head to get rid of the thoughts that shouldn't be in his head.

Now that my injuries are not healed, I haven't done anything for this family, and I have spent a lot of money on this family, but thinking about how to marry Xi'er is really a bit too shameless.

Xi'er ate, cleaned up, took a clean basin, filled a small basin of pickles and came out.

"Mom, I'll go and send some to Uncle Ma's house, let them try it too"

"Hey, let's go"

Mrs. Luo stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched her go all the way to Lao Ma's house without leaving.

She was worried, it was so dark, she was afraid that her daughter might make a mistake.

He just waited at the door until Xi'er returned home, and then blocked the courtyard door.

"What did you say, Uncle Ma?"

"He also said that it was delicious, and that this business could be done. I told him that tomorrow I asked him to bring some big jars of soy sauce. I will sell it first. When the market opens up, I will ask Uncle Ma to sell this too. I will be at home later. just do it”

"Look at making you happy"

The next day, she carried a big basket and went out early. She bought a total of five baskets of vegetable melons. In fact, she planted them all in the space.

Since I had this idea, I have planted several acres of vegetables and melons in the space.

Generally, ten catties of fresh vegetables and melons can produce four catties of pickled melons, and she can marinate dozens of catties in one day.

There is a large vat at home, one can pickle a hundred catties, seal it well, put it in a cool place, and it will not go bad after a month.

Mrs. Luo wanted to help her, but she refused to let her rest in a cool room.

I was busy all by myself, and in a day, I dried fifty or sixty catties of vegetable melon sticks, washed the big vat, and dried it in the sun.

The sun-dried vegetables and melon strips were stacked in a large vat. In the evening, the old horse brought soy sauce, and she started to light a fire to marinate the ingredients.

While sleeping, Mrs. Luo settled the accounts for her.

"How much did you collect today?"

"150 catties can produce [-] catties of pickles"

"That is 150 wen minus 450 wen, and this tank can earn [-] wen?"

"I can't make money. Soy sauce is the most expensive. It would be nice to earn three hundred cash."

"It's harder than working in the town, collecting, making, and selling."

"Isn't it time to find something to do? Besides, I don't only sell ten cents a catty. In business, I have to match my own cost. If I don't pay, I can increase the price."

"Mother just loves you, for this family, you are really tired"

"I can make money and let the family live a good life, so I won't feel tired. I am full of energy, and I will try it in the town tomorrow."

"It's too hot, if you can't do it, just take a rest for the summer, and talk about it in autumn"

"No, autumn will be over soon, and winter will not be able to go out. The winter is long, and you have to stock up a lot of things and need a lot of money."

"Okay then, Mom won't stop you anymore, you can do whatever you want, alas~"

In this way, Xi'er started the business of selling pickles again.

Early in the morning, before the sun came out, she took a large jar of pickles from the big tank, took a pancake, picked up the jar and went out.

She was still thinking about it on the way, ten pennies per catty?It feels cheap, or it will be long, and no one will buy it before lowering it?

When she arrived in Huaishu Town, she saw that all the shops were open, and the first place she went to was the noodle shop.

Seeing the boss working leisurely in the shop, she said hello, "Good morning."

"good morning,"

"How is business?"

"So-so, have you eaten yet? Can I serve you a bowl of noodles?"

"I've eaten, can I have a bowl of noodle soup? I'm a little thirsty after eating a pancake."

The boss served her a bowl of soup and saw the big basket on the ground, "Girl, what are you here to sell?"

"Spiced melon, do you want to try it, no charge"

"want"

It's free to eat, you must try it.

"Take a pair of clean chopsticks and a plate"

Xi'er took a small chopstick out of the jar for him and put it on the plate, then handed him the chopstick.

"Eat it and give me an opinion"

"Why is it so dark"

"Don't just look at the surface of good things, delicious food is the most important thing,"

The boss picked up a pickled melon stick and put it in his mouth in disgust. After a while, he picked up another one and ate it. Seeing that he had finished eating, Xi'er stared at him.

"Would you like another dish?"

"This can be"

"You are so beautiful, my pickled melon has been made with so much effort. The little you eat is worth a few pennies. I only drink a bowl of soup from you. It's not worth it. Tell me if it's delicious or not."

"Hey, it's delicious, it's delicious"

"Do you want to buy something?"

"How much is a pound?"

"Twenty Wen"

"Is it too expensive? The vegetable melons outside are only a penny and a catty."

"Expensive? Then don't buy it. I'll go to the restaurant to sell it. This thing is the most exciting to drink with, especially when paired with freshly steamed steamed buns. The more you eat, the more delicious it will be."

"Then give me a pound"

"It's only a catty? You have so many customers here, and a catty is divided into several parts. One can be sold for five cents, and you can still make money. Will you do business?"

"I only bought a catty of food for myself because of your face. Can you ask me to sell to customers?"

"Try it"

While drinking the noodle soup, Xi'er waited. When she saw a guest coming, she hurriedly picked up chopsticks and put them on the plate.

He asked for a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and by looking at the clothes and the noodles he ordered, he knew that he was not short of money.

"This big brother"

"Uh, is something wrong?"

"Try the new pickled vegetables in our store. It doesn't cost money. If it's delicious, please give us a review."

She held the plate in both hands and handed it to him. The man looked at the dark dish and curled his lips.

"Can you talk about it?"

"My shopkeeper has eaten all of them. I guarantee that you will want to have a second bite after one bite, so that you can't resist ordering one."

The man glanced at the shopkeeper, "Really?"

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, so the man picked up one and took a bite, then nodded slowly.

"It's really interesting, please give me a copy"

"Five cents a share"

"Just get on it"

The shop owner hurriedly took out another clean stack, and Xi'er brought him a big chopstick. The man gave her five fen, and nodded while eating noodles and pickled melon.

Xi'er winked at the owner, that means, you see, I'm right.

The shopkeeper immediately weighed three catties with her, "Then I'll give it a try, if it's okay, you can send me some here every now and then."

"no problem"

After receiving the sixty essays, Xi'er then went to the Xiangmanyuan Restaurant and started the journey of fooling the fat shopkeeper.

"Hey, shopkeeper, I'm here, how is the business?"

"Today is not the day to send face"

"Then I can't come?"

"I can come, I can come, next year I still count on you to deliver food to me."

"By the way, I made a kind of pickles, both rice and wine, they are all delicious, just a little salty, but it doesn't affect his deliciousness"

"Oh? Take it out and let me taste it"

"Five cents a plate, let the money taste"

The fat shopkeeper gave her a sideways look, and reluctantly took out five cents and stuffed it into her hand, "Hurry up, money lover"

"Good class, pickled melon is here"

When a small plate of black pickled melon strips appeared in the eyes of the fat shopkeeper, the fat shopkeeper's face darkened.
