Chapter 10 Selling Sweet Potato Cakes 1
"Brother is back?" An aunt selling bamboo baskets next to the stall looked at the few people who had just returned and asked with a smile.

"Yes, auntie, thank you! How are your bamboo baskets selling?" Chen Baojia asked.

"Hey, I didn't sell any of them. Most of the country people weave their own bamboo baskets for use. My wife only makes these when she is free. Let me try my luck on the market day and see if anyone in this town buys them. If you can’t sell it, take it back and use it yourself.”

Li Yao used the lotus leaves that Xing'er had prepared when she came out, wrapped two sweet potato cakes and handed them to the aunt: "Auntie, thank you for helping us look at the stall, these two cakes will be taken home for you to eat."

"How can I do that!" The aunt was startled, "It's just helping to look at the stall, and it's not a big deal. You can put it back quickly, and you can exchange two steamed buns if you sell it!"

"Auntie, just keep going! You see, we only sold a dozen or so after selling for more than an hour. It might rain in the afternoon, so if the rest are not sold out, they will be broken. This is made by my sister-in-law. It's delicious!" Chen Baojia said.

"Why is this so embarrassing? Are there eggs in it?" The aunt hesitated.

"You're welcome!" Li Yao stuffed the cake into the aunt's hand.

"Okay then, I'll accept it!" Seeing that Li Yao insisted on giving it, the aunt accepted it.

"Selling egg pancakes! Delicious and glutinous egg pancakes! Two cents each, buy one get one free!" Chen Baojia shouted loudly in front of the stall.

Hearing Chen Bao's family shouting, Li Yao couldn't help laughing, this little uncle is really good at doing business and can fool people!This is nothing more than egg-flavored sweet potato pancakes at best!
Xing'er didn't respond, she just stood aside in a well-behaved manner, it seemed that she was accustomed to the behavior of this incomprehensible second brother.

"Uncle, buy two to try, they are fragrant and glutinous, delicious!" An uncle stopped in front of the stall, and Chen Bao's family hurriedly greeted them.

"Look at your cake. It's yellow and looks like a flower. My lady should like it! First two, if it's delicious, I'll buy it next time."

"Okay!" Chen Bao's family wrapped four and put them in the hands of the uncle.

Seeing the back of the uncle walking away, Chen Baojia suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Sister-in-law, let's sell it elsewhere!"

"Second brother, this is the busiest place on the street!" Xing'er was worried that he would mess around.

"Look at this day, I'm really afraid that it will rain in the afternoon, let's sell out and go home, listen to me for sure!"

"Sister-in-law?" Xing'er looked at Li Yao.

Li Yao nodded: "Let's go."

Li Yao was looking forward to some surprises from this little uncle.

Chen Bao's family took the two of them out of the street and walked towards the private houses at the back of the street. They saw Chen Bao's family stopped in front of a big house: "Sister-in-law, you think this should be a rich family's house. I'll go and ask."

Chen Bao's house knocked on the door, and a man in his 30s came out after a while. Although he was wearing civilian clothes, it was very new. The man opened the door and saw the three of them, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Brother, it's like this. My sister-in-law made some egg pancakes, which are beautiful and delicious, and they only cost a penny." Chen Baojia smiled and opened the cloth covering the basket, and stopped saying, "Two pennies a piece, buy one get one free." .

"Brother, buy a few to try?"

The man was just about to say something to drive away the people in front of him, but he caught a glimpse of those cakes, which were quite fresh in style. Thinking of his troublesome son who refused to eat, he said, "Then wrap two for me!" The sleeve took out two copper coins and handed them to Chen Baojia.
