Chapter 9
This food is delicious, but no one has seen it. Will anyone buy it?

"It's not expensive. We work hard to catch fish, make fish balls, and set up a stall. Wouldn't it be a big loss if we can't even buy three cents?" Meng Qingning said.

That's how the price was settled.

The next day, several people got up before dawn, cleaned up, and the whole family went to the streets to set up stalls.

They only took fish balls, wild vegetables, and what they needed for packing.

As for the tables and chairs used to set up the stall, they had an aunt who lived in the town and had done business a few years ago, so she happened to have things for setting up the stall at home.

Yesterday Wang had asked someone to bring her a message.

The other party readily agreed.

Lu Zhengting picked something and walked in front, and they followed behind, but just walking cost Meng Qingning most of his life.

"Why don't you take a rest?" Wang felt a little distressed when she saw how tired she was.

Meng Qingning shook her head, "The sun has come out, we must pay the bills quickly."

The sooner you sell, the better.

Several people had no choice but to continue on their way.

After arriving in the town, they first came to Aunt Wang's house. Wang and she were indeed sisters, and their facial features were very similar.

They were very enthusiastic after meeting them.

"Nan'er and Yu'er have grown a lot taller."

After speaking, his eyes fell on Meng Qingning again, "This must be the wife you married for Nian'er. She is so handsome."

It can be seen that although the two sisters see each other less, they still know each other's affairs very well.

Sensing the kindness of the other party, Meng Qingning called out affectionately, "Auntie."

This aunt also gave birth to three children, two daughters and a son.

The son is now studying in a private school in the town. He was selected as a scholar the year before last. The eldest daughter is already married. The younger daughter Yang Qianni is about the same age as Meng Qingning and has reached the age to talk about marriage.

They were also very affectionate when they saw them. They grabbed Lu Qinan's hand and talked non-stop.

The little girl is wearing a dark green skirt. Although it is not new, it is much better than their coarse linen clothes. It can be seen that their family's life is not bad.

After saying hello, Aunt Wang originally wanted to let them have dinner, but they insisted on setting up a stall, so Aunt Wang had to help find a place with more people for them.

This place is not far from their home, so it is convenient to take care of anything.

With Aunt Wang's help, it saved them a lot of trouble.

After setting up the stall, Meng Qingning first cooked two bowls of fish ball soup and asked Lu Qinan and Lu Qiyu to bring it to the Yang family.

They have helped them so much, so naturally they have to express their gratitude.

This is the only market town near them, and it is much more lively than Meng Qingning thought.

"Should we say something?" Ms. Wang was a little anxious when she saw that no one was paying attention to their stall.

Meng Qingning also discovered this problem.

Many people saw that the food they sold was somewhat novel, and some came up to ask about it, but when they heard it was something they had never heard of before, they left again.

After all, four cents can buy a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and they don't want to spend three cents to eat something they have never seen before.

The people living here are all ordinary farmers. In their opinion, food that can fill their stomachs is the most practical thing.

Seeing that they hadn't opened yet, the lady selling vegetables next to her enthusiastically suggested, "Girl, you must learn to shout when selling food."

After speaking, he demonstrated it to her twice.

"Selling vegetables."

"Come and take a look at the fresh vegetables."

Sure enough, two guests came after she shouted at her, but Meng Qingning, a socially fearful person, couldn't help but turn her attention to Lu Zhengting and Wang. Seeing that one of them was honest and dull, the other was timid, she still ended the conversation. Practical fantasy.

After thinking for a long time, he saw the two siblings Lu Qinan walking not far away. He suddenly had an idea and turned around to thank his aunt.

"Why didn't you stay a little longer?" Wang couldn't help but ask when she saw they came back so quickly.Lu Qiyu knew that today was their first day setting up a stall, so how could he sit still? As soon as he entered, he clamored to come back to help.

Meng Qingning whispered a few words in their ears, and the two of them smiled knowingly, and stood in front of the stall, one on the left and the other on the right, and started shouting.

"Walk this way, look here, the fish balls here are delicious and cost-effective." Lu Qinan shouted without blushing.

She had just finished calling Lu Qiyu on the right and started again, "Let's take a walk and take a look. If you don't want to buy, you can take a look. If you don't want to buy, you can take a look..."

Both of them shouted very enthusiastically, attracting a large number of people to stop.

I only saw two dolls carved in pink and jade, shouting jingles they had never heard before, making everyone laugh and laugh.

An old man came over and said, "Little girl, what do you think you are selling?"

Seeing that there was something going on, Lu Qinan quickly introduced, "Grandpa, we sell fish balls, which are made from the freshest fish in the river. Do you want to try them?"

"I've never heard of fish balls. Can they be delicious?" the uncle asked again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qingning placed a bowl of freshly cooked fish ball soup in front of the old man.

"Uncle, you can try it first. If it doesn't taste good, we won't charge you."

Hearing what she said, the old man took a taste with hesitation.

As a result, the fish balls are extremely delicious after one bite. This fish ball only retains the aroma of fish, but does not have any fishy smell.

"How did you do it?" The old man was a little surprised.

Meng Qingning did not answer his question directly, but instead talked about the benefits of fish balls, "This fish ball is soft, glutinous and fragrant, easy to digest, and can be eaten by the elderly and children. If you like to eat it, I will give you this bowl." Yes, you can have another bowl.”

Of course, the first guest should be given some benefits.

The old man was a cheerful person, "How much does this bowl cost?"

Meng Qingning raised three fingers and said, "Three cents."

The old man took out six cents from his pocket and put it on the table, "Here's another bowl for the old man."

"You have a small business, and I am not the kind of person who is greedy for petty gains."

"Okay." Meng Qingning felt happy when she saw that it was finally open.

Sure enough, this world is not full of people like Dafang and Sanfang who don't recognize their relatives.

Everyone saw how delicious the old man's food was, and they became interested.

"Girl, did we eat it and it didn't taste good, but you didn't charge us for it?"

Meng Qingning knew that everyone was joking, so she didn't mind and said directly to everyone, "Yes, if it doesn't taste good, there's no charge."

Now the whole stall was surrounded by spectators and diners.

Wang cooked the fish balls, Meng Qingning collected the money, and the two children were also responsible for greeting the guests and clearing the dishes.

Lu Zhengting is responsible for washing the dishes.

The family has a clear division of labor and is very busy.

When the old man finished eating and left, Meng Qingning specially packed a fish ball for him and told him how to cook the fish balls.

"If you don't want to cook it, there is a secret dipping sauce I made in it. You can eat it with it when you get back."

The old man liked Meng Qingning more and more.

"Girl, next time you go to the market, you have to come out. I will bring my old lady to eat with you."

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely come." Meng Qingning said enthusiastically.

Just when it was almost sold out, Aunt Wang came over with a group of people.

"Little sister, cook more of your fish balls for us."

It turned out that Aunt Wang gave the fish balls to the neighbors to try. After everyone finished eating, they couldn't say they were satisfied, so they came over to eat again.

Seeing that most of them had been sold, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Fortunately we arrived in time, otherwise you would all be sold out."
