It was still early in the city.

Zhang Xiaoying took Liang Shi to Fengyue Restaurant, and explained her intention of coming.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sister-in-law of the Xu family can just set up a stall outside the door."

"Then thank the shopkeeper first." Zhang Xiaoying said.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liang quickly followed suit to thank her.

"You're welcome, we're all on our own. If there's anything else you need my help with, just ask."

"Okay, thank you very much."

……

With the shopkeeper's permission, Zhang Xiaoying and Liang Shi placed the stall at the entrance of the restaurant.

Mrs. Liang started to get nervous again, even her voice trembled a little, "Mother, shall we just hang around here?"

"Well, there is no market today, and there are not many people. When it's lunch time, this is the place with the most traffic in the city. Besides, most of the people who are willing to come to restaurants are willing to buy some food that they have never seen before."

"But my hands are shaking, what should I do?"

"Take a deep breath and let yourself calm down slowly. My mother can't help you with this."

Letting a woman who has never been to the city a few times, let alone do business, take this step, Zhang Xiaoying knows very well that she can't be too demanding, and she can only let Mrs. Liang get used to it slowly.

It is impossible for her to carry Liang Shi with her all her life.

"Mom, I'm here too, don't be afraid, I'll help you." Xu Jinyu helped set up the stall and put the book aside.

Xu Wencong also said, "Auntie, and brother and I, so many people give you courage."

And Wei Dongdong made a trumpet shape with both hands and shouted: "Moon cakes, delicious and fragrant moon cakes, come and try them."

His voice was crisp and clear, and he was a child again. People passing by heard the sound and came to look at it curiously.

Mrs. Liang regained her composure, and hurried forward to say hello, "Brother, look at the mooncakes we made ourselves? There are sweet ones and some fragrant ones, do you want to try them?"

She didn't know where she got the courage to say so much in one breath.

Afterwards, he took out the ones that had been cut in advance and put them on plates, and put sticks on them for him to eat.

Originally, the man was just looking out of curiosity.

Seeing this, I inserted a small piece to try.

He also didn't think how delicious the country women could cook.

But the entrance found that the so-called moon cakes were much more delicious than the cakes he usually ate.

"Can I try other flavors?" He pointed to another plate.

"Uncle, yes." Xu Wencong immediately handed it to the man.

After the man tasted it, his eyes lit up, "How do you sell this mooncake?"

"A letter of 45 Wen, with five cakes in it." Liang quoted a price, which was determined after discussion.

"You're not cheap!" the man said.

"Uncle, you get what you pay for, you've tasted delicious ones, haven't you? This is the first mooncake in our city, and it's not available anywhere else." Wei Dongdong said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoying looked over in surprise.

Who would have thought that at such a young age, he would be able to say such words!

Wei Dongdong continued: "Uncle, you are the first person to buy moon cakes from us. If you buy more, we can give you some ear cakes made by my aunt."

The man was overjoyed, "What ear pie?"

Xu Jinyu handed over the ear cakes that were set aside, "Uncle, try it, it's fragrant, crispy, and delicious."

It was food that I had never seen before, and the man was not polite, took a piece to taste, "Well, this tastes really good. Okay, if I want three mooncakes, how many ear cakes do you give?"

"One pack."

The ear cakes are also wrapped, about three taels per pack.

The cost of the ear cakes is low, because Liang was worried that the moon cakes would not be sold, so he asked Zhang Xiaoying for his opinion, and specially used them as gifts.

The first transaction was completed so easily, which greatly encouraged Mrs. Liang.

People have a herd mentality, and when they see someone coming to buy it, they will come to see it. After tasting it, except for a few who don't think it tastes good and don't buy it, they will basically buy one or two copies of the others.

By noon, some of the mooncakes had been sold.

After Mrs. Liang got used to it, she also became smart in communicating with people and doing things neatly.

And Zhang Xiaoying helped to collect the money from the beginning to the end, and did not interfere with how Liang and the three children concluded the business.

More and more people came to Fengyue Restaurant for lunch. Since they had to queue up, they curiously passed Liang's stall to see it.

I found that it was eaten fresh, so I bought it without even trying it.

Although Xu Wencong is not as good at talking and doing business as Wei Dongdong, he is smart and knows how to make up a story for moon cakes, telling everyone that they should eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that it fits the occasion.

I have to say that people like to listen to stories and are willing to buy it.

It was not halfway through the meal, and only five of the fifty moon cakes were sold, while the ear cakes were all empty.

The smile on Liang's face could not be hidden.

"Mother, let's not sell the leftovers, let's share them with the restaurant manager and Xiaoer to taste?"

"You decide."

Zhang Xiaoying was very satisfied with Liang's approach.

Although it's just a small business now, human favors are indispensable.

You can't let others help you for nothing, can you?
"Then eat at a restaurant at noon? Shall I invite you?" Liang said boldly.

Zhang Xiaoying laughed, "Forget it, let's forget about the little hard-earned money you earned, I invite you to this meal, I hope you will be the host next time."

"Okay." Mrs. Liang was not polite to Zhang Xiaoying either.

Just as the stall was put away, a woman dressed as a servant hurried over to find it.

"Hey, your mooncakes are sold out?" She was dumbfounded looking at the stalls that had been collected. "Why are they selling so fast? I'm thinking about buying more."

"Auntie, it's gone." Liang said, "I don't know if anyone likes it. I don't dare to do too much. Now it's gone!"

"Hey, when will you open the stall again? My wife likes your mooncakes very much, and I plan to buy some and give them as souvenirs."

"How much does mother-in-law want?" Wei Dongdong asked stiffly, "If we can wait, we can deliver it tomorrow."

"About fifty letters like this." The maid said, "But our wife is leaving early tomorrow morning, do you live in the city?"

"No, in Ping'an Town."

"Then it's too late to deliver it tomorrow, our wife really likes your mooncakes, can't we deliver them earlier?"

Wei Dongdong looked at Liang Shi.

Mrs. Liang looked at Zhang Xiaoying.

Zhang Xiaoying then said: "Look, we come back and forth, I'm afraid we won't be able to let the city gates locked when we finish in the afternoon. There's really no way."

The servant girl thought for a while, "Why don't we send someone to follow, and wait for you to get it back?"

Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

Isn't this abacus too precise?
At first, she thought she was thinking too much, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

The maid smelled of oily smoke, so she must be the cook.

Besides, she wasn't among the people who came to buy mooncakes just now.

So, what do you want to do if you are in such a hurry?
