Chapter 27 Business is booming
"Oh, Xu Yatou is really ingenious. This thing is sweet and sour, and it is delicious. Some people have picked this red fruit before, but it is too sour and few people like to eat it. So, slowly,
No one has picked it yet. But when you do it like this, it looks good and tastes good."
"Well, it's delicious." Mumu's cheeks bulged from eating it.
"Hey, you brat, please slow down. No one will compete with you."
Wang Hongxia was angry and funny, and poked Yang Mumu's forehead with her hand.
"Oh, even children are like this. Tianbao also likes to eat, so he is like this. But don't eat too much, save some for tomorrow, otherwise it will make your teeth uncomfortable."
"You too, just take a bunch and try it, and there are so many of them. There is sugar on them, and sugar is a rare thing. And the sticky rice for the bread here, eh? What is this? I've never seen it before."
Wang Hongxia asked, pointing to the red bean paste.
"I accidentally found beans on the mountain. I cooked them and found they were quite delicious, so I boiled them and added sugar. That's it. If my aunt likes it, I will plant a small patch, harvest it later, and give her a bag of beans for sowing.
.You can cook porridge and drink it later, and it still tastes very good."
"That's a good sentiment. I also thought it tasted good when I ate it." Wang Hongxia said with a smile.
"Xu Yatou has put so much effort into it, are you planning to sell it?"
"Yes, this stuff is delicious and beautiful. I made a lot of it today, and tomorrow Dayi and I plan to go to town to sell it." Yang Xu smiled.
"This town is far away, but I think this thing can sell well. But..." Wang Hongxia patted Yang Xu's hand.
"Auntie also tells you that you can't just rent a place to sell. I guess you should be selling on the street. Just call it a charity sale and just watch and collect the money. In this world,
We women still have to be more careful."
"Don't worry, cousin. Brother Dayi and I will go together. He will carry it and I will follow. I will just go and check the situation today. If it sells well, I will make it at home and let Brother Dayi sell it."
"Hey, this is it."
The two talked for a while, then Wang Dayi came to find them, and then they went home.
"Have you made an agreement with Uncle Dagen?"
"Yeah, ten cents, rent it for a day. Just feed the donkey some water and grass later."
Yang Xu nodded, ten cents is not expensive.
After returning, the three of them had dinner and went to bed early.
The next day, before dawn, the three people went down the mountain. Tianbao and Yang Xu were waiting at the entrance of the village, while Wang Dayi went to lead the donkey cart.
The deer was so big that even if it was disassembled, it took two big baskets to fit it in. There were also dozens of large candied haws on a stick.
Yang Xu and Tianbao sat watching things the day after tomorrow. Wang Dayi drove the donkey cart and arrived in the town at dawn.
Wang Dayi took advantage of the fact that there was still no one around, so he went to Uncle Li's place to sell venison.
Shopkeeper Li hadn't even finished packing up the shop when he saw Wang Dayi's family arriving.
"What's going on? You came so early, and you brought Xu Yatou and Tianbao with you."
Wang Dayi called Uncle Li, and then gave all the things to shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li also took a deep breath, this is good stuff!
"You are really lucky, this thing is very rare. I have only collected two of them in several years."
"It's a coincidence, I only met him twice in many years." Wang Dayi also smiled.
"Just two times is not bad. This deer is worth more than a hundred taels at least!"
"Uncle Li, look at it."
Shopkeeper Li weighed the deer and looked at some things about the antlers.
"The one you have this time is bigger than the ones from previous years, and it is better handled. I will also give you a good price. One hundred and forty taels."
Wang Dayi nodded, what Uncle Li said was a fair price, and no one else could give him so much.
"Okay, this deer blood is also a good thing. I will give it to Uncle Li. If anyone wants it, Uncle Li will sell it."
Wang Dayi gave the gourd and the gourd to shopkeeper Li. Although the deer blood was a good thing, it was not easy to sell. So he gave it to Uncle Li.
"Okay, I'll keep it."
Yang Xu took two bunches of candied haws of sugarcane and gave them to Shopkeeper Li.
"I thought about the food myself, and it tasted pretty good. I made a lot of it, so I brought it to the town to sell it. I gave these two bunches to Uncle Li to try."
"This looks good, um, and tastes good too. Little girl Xu is so clever!"
Shopkeeper Li tasted it and praised it. He also told Yang Xu which street sold more snacks. Children and women liked to go there.
Yang Xu thanked him and the others left.
Because it was still early in the day, Yang Xu and the other three went to buy breakfast. The breakfast vendors on the street were all open, including steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, and vegetable pancakes.
Yang Xu bought six steamed buns, sat outside the shop and drank porridge.
Yang Xu took a bite of the buns and found that they tasted pretty average.
The store has meat-filled buns and vegetarian stuffings. Meat buns cost 5 cents each and don’t have much filling. Vegetarian buns cost 2 cents each, and there are some with vegetable and radish fillings. There are a lot of fillings, but
The taste is very bland.
Yang Xu broke off a little of each of the two kinds of steamed buns to taste them, but refused to eat them.
Tianbao also frowned. He shouldn't have disliked it. After all, it was made of white flour and meat. It cost five cents each! But it was really not delicious! In the end, he only ate one and a half and stopped eating.
Wang Dayi was quite helpless. He ate the rest. But what could his wife and brother-in-law do? Just pamper her!
After eating, the number of people on the street gradually increased. Wang Dayi carried a straw stick filled with candied haws and took Yang Xu and Tianbao to start selling.
"Candied haws on a stick, delicious candied haws on a stick, sour and sweet candied haws on a stick..."
Yang Xu didn't let Wang Dayi shout, it was enough for her and Tianbao to shout.
The hawking is quite attractive, not to mention that the candied haws on top looks really nice.
Soon someone came to ask about the price. It was a woman and a child.
"What is this? How to sell it?"
The woman was also very curious. She had never seen this before, but it looked pretty good.
"Sister-in-law, this is called candied haws, and it comes in three flavors! The original one costs three cents per skewer, the glutinous rice one costs four cents per skewer, and the one with bean paste costs five cents."
"Oh, it's so expensive!"
"It's all filled with sugar! My sister-in-law also knows that sugar is very expensive. Besides, it's delicious. Even the kids like it."
The woman hesitated and couldn't move her eyes away when she saw the children.
"Okay! Get me a bunch of plain ones."
"Okay." Yang Xu neatly took a bunch and gave it to the woman.
The child took a lick on the spot, oh, it was so sweet, and took a bite, it was sour and sweet, delicious!
"Mom, it's delicious!" The child raised his hand to give his mother a taste, and the woman also took a bite. Oh, it's really delicious!
The woman couldn't help but take another bite, and the child shouted in disbelief. The woman was embarrassed and glared at the child. What a brat!
"Bring me two more skewers, and ask for the other two flavors."
"Okay." Yang Xu handed it to her with a smile.
With the first person and people watching around, everyone couldn't help but buy it and try it.
But there was some reluctance. My own child refused to leave even while standing. When he saw that other children were there, he burst into tears.
There was no way, those parents gritted their teeth and bought a bunch of them to comfort their children.
Soon, everything Yang Xu brought was sold out, and some people who came over after hearing about it didn’t even buy anything. They kept asking Yang Xu whether he would come next time.
Yang Xu responded with a smile.
Chapter completed!
