Volume 2, Chapter 99: Looking at each other

Shangguan Ruoli lifted up the white cloth on the dustpan and put out a plate with biscuits and egg tarts cut into small pieces. A smell of milk mixed with sweetness filled the air, attracting many people to look over.

Mrs. Qian continued to greet: "This is a unique new product, you can taste it for free today, buy one and get one free!"

In any era, 'free' and 'gift' are the most attractive words to consumers, and soon people gathered around.

Everyone asked: "What are biscuits?"

"What is an egg tart? What kind of candy is a lollipop?"

“Free tasting?”

"What do you mean buy one, get one free?"

Since they were all scholars, Dalang came forward and explained: "They are all unique snacks and candies. You can try the samples on the plate. If you buy an egg tart, you will get a lollipop for free. If you buy one or two biscuits, you will get a lollipop for free.

.

Biscuits cost eighty cents and one tael, and egg tarts cost ten cents each. This is our first day doing business, so we are giving away lollipops. By tomorrow, the lollipops will cost three cents each."

Mrs. Qian held the plate for everyone to taste, "There are toothpicks on it, let's try it. It's made of thin noodles, with milk, eggs, sugar and dried fruits. They are all valuable and valuable things."

Anyway, it was a free tasting, and adults and children tasted it one after another, and their taste buds were conquered.

Although I think it is a bit expensive, it is fresh food and there is no need to buy a lot at once. Those who come to school have a little money and are willing to buy it for their children.

As a result, many people spent money to buy a few taels of animal crackers for their children, bought a fresh egg tart to try, and even gave away lollipops.

A child held a piece of biscuit and said in surprise: "Look, this biscuit is a kitten, with the word "cat" printed on it, and numbers on the back!"

Dalang smiled and said, "Not only are these animal cookies delicious, they can also help newly enlightened children learn to read, count, and recognize animals."

Parents sent their children to school. Some of the children at home were enlightened and willing to buy two taels of animal crackers to take home. Some of them were filial and bought some of each to take home for the elderly to taste.

Shangguan Ruoli was responsible for weighing biscuits. When he looked up, he saw a slender girl carrying a basket and two boys walking over.

The girl is fifteen or six years old. She is tall and has beautiful curves. She is wearing a semi-old muslin floral skirt. She has fair skin and beautiful features. Although she is not a top-notch beauty, her appearance is considered to be above average. She is pleasing to the eye at first sight.

, the kind that gets better and better the more you look at it.

Mainly because of her outstanding temperament, clear and resolute eyes, straight back and windy walk, which gives people the feeling of being clean, refreshing and calm, with a leadership style.

The two teenagers following us, one is 12 or 3 years old, and the other is 7 or 8 years old. Judging from their appearance, we can tell that they are three siblings. The eldest brother is smoking, thin, and looks like a teenager. The younger brother is chubby,

The big eyes are bright and lively, making him look very smart and smart.

Shangguan Ruoli whispered: "Miss Wu is here!"

When Dalang heard this, his hands trembled, the egg tarts in the clip fell on the dustpan, and his face suddenly turned red as pig liver.

Mrs. Qian patted him on the back, laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You're so promising! After all, he has killed people and beaten wolves."

Dalang glanced at the girl, his face turned redder, and the corners of his lips raised.

The younger brother of the Wu family saw his classmates eating snacks he had never seen before, and saw people gathered here. He ran over quickly, tiptoed to look at the car, his eyes lit up, and he said curiously: "Ah, what kind of food is this?"

?It smells so good.”

Wu Wenhui and Wu Dadi followed behind and walked over and took a look.

Mrs. Qian gave Dalang a push, and Dalang was too shy to speak.

Mrs. Qian introduced the name and price herself, and asked with a smile: "Would you like to buy some to try? I will give you a lollipop today."

Wu Xiaodi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Wu Wenhui expectantly with his big eyes.

Brother Wu couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the alluring fragrance, but he looked calm and composed and said with a straight face: "You must be able to resist your appetite, don't buy it, let's go, class will be late."

Wu Xiaodi blushed and lowered his head in disappointment.

He knew that money at home was very tight, his father supported the family with a meager salary, he and his brother were studying, and his grandmother took medicine all year round.

But, I’m so greedy.

Wu Wenhui said to Mrs. Qian: "Buy one or two biscuits, two, no, three egg... towers."

Brother Wu hurriedly said: "Sister, just buy two. I don't want to eat."

Wu Wenhui smiled and said: "Try all the fresh food. When the classmates talk about it, you will also know what it tastes like."

With that said, he took out the money and gave it to Mrs. Qian.

Shangguan Ruoli weighed out one or two animal biscuits. The biscuits were not big, about the size of a handful.

Da Lang picked up three egg tarts and four lollipops in his trembling hands.

Wu Dadi took the paper package containing the biscuits, ate one piece for himself, gave three pieces to his younger brother, and put the rest into Wu Wenhui's basket, "Take it back to grandma and father to try."

Wu Wenhui put an egg tart and a lollipop into the basket, gave each of them an egg tart and a lollipop, and grabbed a small handful of biscuits to share with them, "Go ahead, I'll make bone tofu soup for lunch. You guys are after school."

Come back early."

I originally wanted to buy meat, but after buying these, I can only eat bones.

Mrs. Qian watched her go away and said, "This girl is good, filial and not stingy. She knows how to teach her younger brother. She will definitely teach her children well in the future."

They went around to the entrances of other schools and soon sold out all the things they brought.

Shangguan Ruoli and Dalang went to buy things, and Mrs. Qian came to an alley carrying a basket. Jiang Hongda said that Wu Wenhui's family lived here.

She walked to a house, saw the door was open, and walked in.

An old woman was sitting on a chair in the yard basking in the sun. When she saw her peeping her head, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Mrs. Qian said sheepishly: "I am a food vendor walking around the streets. I am very thirsty and want to beg for a bowl of water."

Wu Wenhui heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen, wearing a blue apron and rolling up her sleeves. She looked like she was busy cooking.

When he saw Mrs. Qian, she smiled and said, "Aren't you the lady who sells egg tarts?"

The old woman laughed when she heard it, "That egg tart is delicious."

Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "My family can make more delicious snacks. I will bring them to you to try when I have the chance."

The old woman smiled and said: "Okay, okay."

While the two were talking, Wu Wenhui entered the kitchen and came out with a bowl of warm water.

Mrs. Qian drank the water, said nothing more, thanked her, and went to meet Shangguan Ruoli and Dalang.

The two bought a cart full of rice noodles, sugar, peanuts, sesame seeds, lard, soybean oil, dates, walnuts, etc.

Although there is space to grow many things, this is a business for the whole family, and the cost has to be calculated, and raw materials cannot be taken from the space.

Dalang helped Mrs. Qian into the car and sat down, and asked: "Mistress, have you seen anyone? How is it?"

Mrs. Qian joked: "I see you are anxious, have you fallen in love with someone else?"
