Chapter 32 Qin Xiuzhu surrenders

"It's delicious. Ah, it's filled with red bean paste. So sweet and delicious. If my mouth were bigger, I could eat ten in one go, right? Hahaha." While eating, Liu Yingyue broke off a little bit of the other half and handed it to the child, "Baby, try it and see if it's sweet."

"Can you really eat ten in one go? My dad said he could eat five in one go. Are you better than my dad?"

Liu Yingyue, "..."

The child’s father said he could eat five in one go, but that’s probably just bragging.

"I mean, if my mouth were bigger, but it's not big now, so I can only eat in small bites. Oh, it's so delicious, but it makes me so anxious. Why can't my mouth be bigger?"

Her nagging appearance is so funny that one can't help laughing.

She didn't like to laugh before, at least, she didn't like to laugh after she got married.

Qin Yiran looked at Liu Yingyue teasing the child and fell into deep thought again.

She is really different from before.

Children are naturally greedy, and with Liu Yingyue's repeated temptations while eating, he shook off his mother's hand and ran towards Liu Yingyue, "Let me taste it, I know what is sweet and what is not sweet. Add a spoonful of sugar to the dough and wrap it up, it is sweet, only half a spoonful is not too sweet, and no sugar is not sweet at all."

"That's right, baby. You are so smart. I still can't tell what is sweet and what is not sweet." Liu Yingyue smiled and put a small piece of cake in the child's hand.

The child took a look at it first and said in surprise, "It's red bean paste with sugar! It must be sweet."

He couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, his eyes widened and he said happily, "So sweet, so sweet, I want more."

The child stretched out his hand towards Liu Yingyue.

"Ah, I can't give it to you anymore. This is mine and I want to eat it too. If you want to eat more, you have to buy it from her. Two cents for a cake, buy ten and get one free." Liu Yingyue pointed at Qin Xiuzhu's backpack.

Give ten and get one free? Liu Yingyue, this spendthrift woman!

Qin Xiuzhu glared angrily.

Liu Yingyue held Qin Xiuzhu and looked at her, "Don't say anything. Aren't you going to follow my instructions?"

Qin Xiuzhu had no choice but to shut up.

The woman took the child to her parents' home.

My mother's home is not far away, just on the other side of the street.

Just walk there.

As she walked and strolled, she was thinking about what to buy to take back and appease her nephews from her mother's side.

My son saw someone selling scones and said they were delicious, so we went to take a look.

Seeing the woman coming with the child, Liu Yingyue broke off a little more of the uneaten half piece of meat and gave it to the woman, "Sister-in-law, please try it."

The woman was a little plump. When she saw the cake, her eyes were bright with surprise, which showed that she was a person who enjoyed delicious food.

"It's ok. Are they all filled with red bean paste?"

"There are also mung beans and pickles." Liu Yingyue said.

"I like the red bean ones, they are sweet and delicious." The woman nodded. "By the way, what did you say? Buy ten and get one free?"

"Yes, buy ten and get one free." Liu Yingyue saw the woman's words were full of drama, and hurriedly called Qin Xiuzhu to quickly wrap the pancakes with oil paper, "Sister-in-law wants ten, you can wrap eleven."

"Wait, I want to buy 20, can you give me three for free?" The woman pointed to the cakes in the basket, "Twenty with red bean filling, and give me one with mung bean filling and two with pickles to try. If they are delicious, I will buy other flavors next time. My parents and my husband's families both live on the market street, and I go to the street every day."

Qin Xiuzhu's face suddenly lengthened.

This woman is so shameless!
Giving one is enough to make my heart bleed, and giving three will mean the end of her life, right?
Three of them can be sold for six cents!

She had just been waiting for an hour and only sold six. How could this woman have the nerve to ask her to give away three?
How shameless! "Three? No..."

Qin Xiuzhu didn't finish her words because her mouth was covered by Liu Yingyue.

"Xiuzhu!" Qin Yiran also scolded Qin Xiuzhu.

Qin Xiuzhu felt aggrieved and anxious, she pouted her lips, squatted aside and said nothing.

Liu Yingyue took out a piece of thin oil paper used for wrapping food from her backpack and started to wrap the cake for the woman.

"Okay, I'll pack it for you." He then told her which sesame seeds had which flavor.

The woman took the cake, paid forty coins, and left with her child satisfied.

Qin Xiuzhu was about to get angry when a middle-aged man passing by saw the woman buying twenty cakes at once and came over to say, "I want twenty too. I don't want just one flavor. Can you give me a few of each?"

"Okay, okay, okay. The prices are all the same. There are ones with red bean filling, mung bean filling, and pickled vegetables." Liu Yingyue responded while quietly pushing the sulking Qin Xiuzhu.

Qin Xiuzhu blinked, "Ah, uncle, how much of each flavor do you want to buy?"

“Five or six, seven or eight are all fine, just install them as you like.” The middle-aged man said readily.

The man was driving a donkey cart with some daily necessities on it. It was obvious that he had just bought some and was about to take them back, and his family was considered to be relatively well-off.

Liu Yingyue said, "I'll give you seven each, and put one more with red bean filling and one with mung bean filling, so there will be twenty-three in total. You can pay for twenty, which is forty cents in total."

"Okay, okay." The man paid the money, took a big bag of cakes, and drove away in the donkey cart.

Seeing that no one else was coming, Qin Xiuzhu could not help but ask, "Liu Yingyue, you are so generous. You didn't make the cake, so you just gave it away, right? Buy twenty and get three free. You gave away six for nothing! Six! I just waited for an hour and only sold six. And you just gave them away for nothing!"

"If you don't deliver them, even if you wait here until the afternoon, you won't be able to sell forty cakes easily! Forty, half of them have been sold, Qin Xiuzhu!" Liu Yingyue reminded.

Qin Xiuzhu blinked, ah?

Is this half sold?

She was not convinced and refused to deliver any more cakes, insisting on charging one price per cake.

Liu Yingyue shrugged and said, "Okay, you try selling it first."

Qin Yiran sat on the donkey cart, quietly watching the two of them study how to sell cakes, without expressing any opinion.

In order to prove that she was right, Qin Xiuzhu began to use her stubborn and conservative selling method again.

Of course, business is as slow as a turtle.

After doing two big deals from Liu Yingyue and waiting for another hour, the sun began to set, and Qin Xiuzhu only sold two cakes.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the street market, Qin Xiuzhu became anxious.

"We don't want to sell it anymore. Let's go back." Qin Yiran said at this time.

Qin Xiuzhu looked at the cakes in the basket and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Because this time she insisted on selling it using the old method, but failed to sell it, and she put the blame on Liu Yingyue, so Liu Yingyue would not buy it.

There are more than thirty cakes left. Should I eat them all by myself?
This is a big loss.

"Xiuzhu, buy ten and get one free, buy twenty and get three free, sell them quickly. If you wait any longer, there will be no one in the market and who will you sell them to?" Liu Yingyue urged.

"Wow——" Qin Xiuzhu started crying anxiously.

Liu Yingyue laughed secretly. Are you admitting defeat?
