Chapter 57 Selling candy in the city

In the bustling market, there are many small stalls in the shops on both sides. There are peddlers and goons doing all kinds of business. The shouts are heard one after another, one louder than the other.

Amidst the many shouts, a clear female voice cut through the air, overwhelming the shouts and emerging.

"Fructose! We sell fructose! Our fructose is first-rate at Qingshanlouwailou outside the mountains! Come on, all the uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters who are passing by! Stop and take a look! There is fresh fructose here. Made with the freshest oranges, it’s delicious, inexpensive, and delicious on your tongue!”

"Fructose! Fructose made from pure orange juice! It's sweet and smooth after eating! Come here and taste it. You should buy good sugar during the Chinese New Year. It becomes more popular every year! Buy some sugar when you have nothing to do, and you will be happy and joyful! Let's go! Don’t miss it if you pass by, come and buy it!”

People walking around in the market were looking around at this stall and that shop. They were just out to enjoy the excitement and buy whatever they saw.

Leng Buding's shouts reached his ears, and immediately someone followed them and walked over.

"What kind of candy are you selling here? It's so exciting to hear this little girl yelling at you! Let's see, how come everyone eats the sweets smoothly and becomes more and more popular every year?"

The visitor was wearing a sapphire blue silk robe with a round collar and a pattern, a round-top hat of the same color, and a pair of riding boots with raised brim. He had a fat head and big ears. At first glance, he looked like an idle man with some spare money.

Pomegranate quickly looked at the people who came by without leaving a trace, and saw that there were several people behind him slowly approaching this way to watch. He immediately raised a smile and greeted, "Sir, our family sells exclusive homemade fructose, made with orange juice. Yes, it’s very sweet! Would you like to try it first?”

As he said that, he took a bamboo skewer and took a red rabbit candy from the bamboo dustpan placed on the wooden board hanging by Li Rongzong and handed it over.

When this man walked over, he saw clearly that Li Rongzong and Li Jihe had the same wooden board hanging around their necks and resting on their chests. On top of it was a bamboo dustpan filled with strange-shaped candies, some red, some orange, and some orange.
The shape looked like there were rabbits and turtles, and he also let out a sigh when he saw it. He stretched out his hand to take the bamboo stick with a little more interest, and looked closely at the candy with the cross on it for a moment before feeding it into his mouth. inside.

As soon as he chewed it, he groaned again, "Huh? Don't tell me, this candy of yours is really special when you eat it! It tastes like orange! It's sweet and chewy, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes, and it's even more chewy. Woolen cloth!"

He was chewing and savoring it, but before he could taste it enough, the small piece of candy was rolled up and down his throat.

"How do you sell this candy? Give me a pack quickly!" He was still not satisfied and couldn't wait to ask Pomegranate to give him a pack.

"Is that right, sir? Our candies are absolutely delicious, and you'll be honest!"

Pomegranate immediately responded: "I want you to know, sir. There are two kinds of candies in our house, big bags and small bags. The big bag is thirty cents, and there are twenty of these in it. The small bag, which is fifteen cents, has ten of these. Sir." Do you want a big bag or a small bag? Do you want a flower-shaped bag or a small animal bag? Or a mixture of the two?"

This man wanted to chew two pomegranates quickly, but he didn't bother to listen to the pomegranate's words. He waved his hands and said: "Big bag! Give me a bag of whatever you want!"

"Okay!" Pomegranate took a bag of two kinds of mixed fructose from the basket and handed it over. "Master, your big bag of fructose! Take it! Thank you for your patronage. I wish you all the best. I think It’s done!”

This man took the paper bag, took it over and opened it directly. He grabbed three or five pieces and threw them into his mouth and started chewing. While chewing, he nodded his head, chewed carefully, and listened to the pomegranate. After saying this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the pomegranate twice, "You girl, you have a sweet mouth!" After saying that, without walking away, he grabbed a few more and threw them into his mouth and started chewing them. .

Li Rongzong and Li Rongyu both looked at him eagerly, pretending that they had nothing to do, but they were quietly thinking in their hearts - this man was just eating without paying for it!
Pomegranate took his time and answered him with a smile, "How's it going? Sir, does our fructose suit your taste? Do you think it's delicious?"

The man chewed slowly and carefully, nodded and said: "I don't know if you are going to get rich after eating the fructose, but it is true that you are eating the sweet honey! I think it suits my taste! I am always energetic when chewing this hard. Got it!"

After that, he fed a few more candies and a packet of candies into his mouth. Seeing that there were only a few candies left, he simply ate the remaining ones into his mouth.

Seeing that posture, Li Ji and the three of them were also secretly shocked, and secretly murmured in their hearts: This man chewed it all in one go like a cow chewing grass. Don't you want to refuse to pay?
The onlookers who came around to see this man tasted one and immediately wanted to buy it. After buying it, he finished a pack in the blink of an eye. They were also puzzled: What kind of candy is this? Is it really that delicious? I eat handful after handful and still can’t stop. Is this how you eat candy?

"Just eat it if you like!" Du Pomegranate couldn't help but laugh as he looked at it, thinking to himself, wouldn't it be more delicious to chew the QQ candy in handfuls? In her previous life, she would eat this candy one after another without stopping until she finished it. It was so exciting!
This man didn't care what others thought. He chewed the last bite carefully. After stuffing the empty oil paper into Pomegranate's hand, he took out the money bag and took out a piece of silver from it. "Here, this is it." Big bags, give me ten bags, I’ll take them back and eat them slowly!”

Pomegranate was dumbfounded when she saw the broken silver that was shoved in. How much is such a broken piece of silver? It looked like more silver than the piece of silver that shopkeeper Ding sold candy last time, so it must be more than three coins, but how much should she ask for in compensation?

He couldn't help but look at Li Jihe.

Li Jihe was also in trouble. In the past, the wages they received from part-time work were strings of money, but they had never received this small amount of silver!
He didn't know how much it was.

However, when this man saw that Pomegranate looked stupidly and refused to take it, he couldn't help being happy, "What's the matter? Don't you want some broken silver? I don't have that many copper coins! Okay, this broken piece of silver is worth four coins anyway! You don't have any copper coins?" If you want to make up for it, just give me two more packets of candy!"

Pomegranate glanced at the broken silver, and estimated that what he said was true, so she immediately agreed, took the broken silver, counted twelve large bags of fructose, and then added more A small package was tied into a bunch with hemp rope and handed over. "This package is for you to eat. Please keep it. It's delicious. Come back next time!"

The man took the rope, waved his hand, "Okay!" and then crossed the crowd and left.

As soon as he left, some people who had been watching for a while came forward and said, "Let me try this fructose. It's so delicious. I'll buy it too!"

Pomegranate quickly greeted him warmly and gave him some fructose.

It was the first time for many people to see this business where you could taste before buying. They couldn't help but find it novel. They looked at the fructose in the dustpan for a long time and were really greedy. Therefore, several people came forward to try it.

The pomegranates all greeted them warmly and offered them fructose to taste.
