Chapter 21 The Joy of Harvest (1)
Therefore, Thorny Ball has changed its name to "Fu Guoer" from now on.

After listening to everyone's reaction, Lin Xiaoqiao continued, "Little uncle, let's go to the market on West Street in the town tomorrow. There are rich people there, so we should be able to sell it better."

Li Erhu nodded and said yes, and Lin Xiaoqiao asked again: "Then how much should we sell this Fuguo for a catty?" This question caught everyone. This Fuguo is a new food. No one has sold it, and there is not even a price that can be used as a reference.I really don't know how much I should sell it for a catty, Li Erhu thought with difficulty.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at everyone's faces, it seemed that everyone was confused, so she said tentatively: "Grandpa, I think there are rich people on West Street, they are not as poor as us, a few pennies are good for them It is not considered money at all. If we set the price lower, I guess they will not be too rare to buy it. If we set the price higher, no one has sold it so far anyway, those rich people Don’t they all like fresh food, for them, it’s just spending money to eat something new.”

After hearing this, old man Li looked at Lin Xiaoqiao in surprise, and thought: Such a young girl can think of so many things, she is really clever.He froze, nodded and said: "That's the reason, why don't we set a price of thirty cents a catty, and try to sell it first."

Mrs. Sun took a deep breath: "What, thirty yuan a catty, so expensive, a catty of pork is only eighteen yuan, this Fuguoer looks quite heavy, and there are not many per catty. This can be done ?"

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard Sun's words, she could understand her surprise. After all, for poor rural people like them, thirty coins would cost thirty eggs in exchange.So Mrs. Sun was surprised for a while and couldn't accept it, that's what happened.However, Lin Xiaoqiao can also see from this that old man Li is not a short-sighted person.She nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Let's try to sell it first, let's talk if we can't sell it."

After hearing this, everyone didn't say anything, so the matter of selling Fuguoer was settled in this way, and everyone went to sleep without mentioning it.

This night, for the Li family, is destined to be a sleepless night. Everyone has a faint hope in their hearts, hoping to seize this opportunity to bring some savings to this impoverished family. Everyone is eager to change the status quo .Lin Xiaoqiao is no exception. For her, tomorrow's trip to the town is not only full of her expectations for the future, but also because it is her first attempt to make money since she was reborn.Her mood at the moment is like a famous chef who has researched a new dish and is waiting for everyone's evaluation, hoping to get the affirmation of the diners.The two sisters tossed and tossed for most of the night, just squinted their eyes, and was awakened by the movement outside after a while.

Lin Xiaoqiao rubbed his sore eyes, and found that Sun had already gotten up to prepare breakfast for them before dawn. The two Lin Xiaoqiao sisters got up, fetched water to wash up, and ate breakfast.Li Erhu took them and set off in a hurry.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at Li Erhu's pair of panda eyes, knowing that her little uncle probably couldn't sleep all night last night, she laughed secretly.The three of them walked and chatted all the way, all with expectations and longings for a better life.

Last night, Lin Xiaoqiao thought about it all night, and felt that the price of chestnuts should be raised even higher. As long as the market really opens up, the main consumer group of their Fuguoer will still be a little wealthier.And these people, they often have some spare money in their hands, and they don't care about such a gap of dozens of pennies. On the contrary, people who really have no money, even if it is three pennies, they will not be willing to spend it. It cannot be eaten as a meal to fill the stomach.So, on the way, Lin Xiaoqiao negotiated with the other two to raise the price to "fifty Wen a catty" and sell it first.Lin Xiaoxi is essentially a ten-year-old girl, and she doesn't have any ideas, while Li Erhu, after setting up a stall selling eggs for a few days and accidentally discovering Fu Guoer and others, he feels that his little niece is a relatively young girl. Those with strong opinions and talents didn't express any opinions.The three of them wandered to the town and went straight to the West Street Market.

At this time, the sun has just hung up, and the sky is not yet bright.There were not many people in the market, and the vendors were sparsely looking for their own places to set up their stalls. After setting up their stalls, some people went to eat some breakfast at the breakfast stalls to fill their stomachs, and some ate by themselves. With the dry food brought from home.The three of Lin Xiaoqiao's uncle and nephew found a decent position and put their own Fu Guoer on it.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the stalls in the market are gradually filling up, and many vendors have already opened their businesses for the first time.The Fuguoer placed on Lin Xiaoqiao's stall also attracted the attention of the surrounding peddlers. Everyone was wondering what it was?There are also some bold and booing ones who will ask them what this is?The three of Lin Xiaoqiao's uncle and nephew had already negotiated on the road, and they couldn't easily tell others what it was, and they still made money from it, so they all declared it to the outside world as a kind of fruit grown by themselves.Everyone also understands that this name is just a perfunctory, seeing that they are unwilling to mention it, they all know how to do it, and go about their business to greet the guests without mentioning it.

There were more and more people in the market, and a few people asked curiously about Fuguoer in front of their stall, but there was no one who bought it. It seemed that they were the only stall that hadn't done business yet.Li Erhu was quite calm at first, but later he saw that there were always people in front of other people's stalls, so he became less calm and seemed restless.Lin Xiaoxi also seemed a little anxious, but seeing her sister's calm look, she also sat quietly on the ground, secretly looking forward to the guests coming soon...

Lin Xiaoqiao squatted quietly on the ground, fiddling with two Fuguo children, but in fact, she was more anxious and anxious than them.But she also knows that it is useless to be anxious, the key problem is to find a way to solve the problem.Lin Xiaoqiao recalled the sales promotion methods he knew in his previous life, and his mind wandered slowly, he didn't even know that there was a person squatting in front of him.

Just as Lin Xiaoqiao was swimming farther and farther, she suddenly felt someone push her twice, and she immediately woke up.Only then did I see a boy squatting in front of his booth, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a blue silk robe, a jade hairpin on his head, red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, the attire of a young master.Seeing a lot of simple, honest and strong country boys like my little uncle, and now suddenly seeing such a handsome young master, Lin Xiaoqiao felt very seductive.Oh, I'm a bit insane...

Withdrawing his thoughts, what Lin Xiaoqiao has to do now is of course how to start his first business.Seeing such a richly dressed young master, both Li Erhu and Lin Xiaoxi looked rather embarrassed, neither of them planned to go up to talk to him.The boy seemed to be used to this for a long time, he squatted on his own, playing with a few Fuguo in his hands, picking and choosing, as if he was seriously researching what it was, he seemed to have never seen it before.So he raised his head and asked, "Little girl, what is this?"
