"I got it, you guys eat first, I'll be right back!" Xia Qiyue responded to her sister, and Xia Yueyue said nothing more, turning around and busy serving porridge, pickles, and boiled eggs.
It's almost the same meal every morning, rice porridge with pickles and boiled eggs.
Xia Qiyue knew that she got up late, but she was not in a hurry. She simply went to work in the space for a while before going out.
After harvesting an acre of rice and a fifth of wheat, she pressed sugar for a while until the sugar box was full again before she found room.
At the same time, I brought two sacks of rice and one sack of wheat out and put them in my room.
I have to grind rice and flour at noon, and after I finish settling the candy issue, I have to go to the grain store.
When she came out, others were already eating, but they also served her porridge, and Xia Jiuyue even peeled the eggs for her thoughtfully.
"Fourth sister-in-law, did you carry water at night? Are you exhausted?" An Sijin spotted the water in the water tank with sharp eyes. He thought he had guessed the reason why Xia Qiyue got up late and said angrily.
"You've already said that we'll be full of people. How can you, a woman like you, be so successful?"
Xia Qiyue just wanted to laugh, what about women? Hahaha, this child is so cute.
"No, isn't this a physical exercise? Haha... hurry up and eat!" Xia Qiyue said nothing about the water in the water tank and urged them to eat quickly. "We have to work soon."
After dinner, Xia Qiyue was supposed to prepare a pot of tea egg seasoning for Xinghe and Jiuyue to cook with the other four, and then she took An Youde and An Zihao out.
But after thinking about it, I decided not to make tea eggs yet. The weather is cold and they will get cold very quickly when you take them out. Besides, you can’t make much money by selling tea eggs, and it’s still very troublesome. Why don’t you make more halva and sell them to make money?
quick.
So after finishing the meal, I went to buy another hundred kilograms of peanuts and brought them back for those who stayed at home to continue peeling them. Then I took An Youde and two of them out, picked up ten bottles of halva, and went out.
The three of them were walking on the street. An Youde was holding ten bottles of halva in his hand and looking at Xia Qiyue walking in front of him, he was confused.
He wanted to go out to sell halva, but he didn't hawk it, he didn't find a place to set up a stall, and he didn't take out more of the prepared halva. He just kept walking, as if he was shopping.
In fact, Xia Qiyue was really shopping, walking street by street, looking and comparing, just to see which street had a higher consumption level and which street was suitable for the rich.
She wanted to take the high-end route, and the candied fruit stores near places frequented by ordinary people, such as markets and small cloth shops and noodle stalls, were not suitable for her to recommend at all.
Even if it is recommended, people around here cannot afford it.
What she is looking for are nearby candied fruit shops that sell jewelry, high-end silks, and fabrics to attract business.
Fortunately, after wandering around for a long time, she found it. Jiuli Town is a town, but it is bigger than the county town, with a lot of people. The most important thing is that there are many rich people, high consumption levels, some rare things, and rare delicacies.
Don't worry about selling at all.
Xia Qiyue looked at the sign with Li Kee Preserved Fruit in front of her, and then looked at the many people entering and leaving the store. Just as she was about to follow the flow of people and walk in, she was grabbed by the two people following behind her.
"Fourth sister-in-law, we are here to sell crispy candies, why don't we go shopping after we sell them?" An Youde reminded with an uneasy smile.
Because the two of them had followed the fourth sister-in-law for several streets, looking left and right, neither selling nor asking the price, just looking and walking.
Street after street, it's so good now that I actually have to buy candied fruits.
An Youde and An Zihao were both literate and had studied for two years, but they couldn't persist. Money was also tight, so Shu Xiu couldn't afford it, so he resigned.
So both of them noticed the words "Li Ji Preserved Fruit" and really doubted whether the fourth sister-in-law was out shopping.
"I know I'm here to sell halva. How can you sell it if you're holding me back like that?" Xia Qiyue said angrily, "Let go and follow me in and see how I sell it!"
The two of them were a little dumbfounded. They went to the preserve shop to sell halva? Are they serious?
Even if people are not willing to set up a stall in front of other people's homes, the fourth sister-in-law actually wants to go to their stores to promote business?
An Youde shuddered, and looked at Xia Qiyue, who was walking in after speaking, and suddenly pulled An Zihao to follow him, saying anxiously, "Follow me quickly, the shopkeeper will send someone to death soon." We have to continue ordering when we come out!"
An Zihao also quickened his pace to follow, fearing that the fourth sister-in-law would be thrown out, but he had never heard of someone stealing business from others in his store.
The two of them followed anxiously, fearing that the fourth sister-in-law would be bullied.
When Xia Qiyue approached the store, it looked particularly luxurious. Rows of candied fruits of various colors were so dazzling that it made people salivate at the sight.
The waiter at the store saw that although Xia Qiyue was not expensively dressed, she was neatly and cleanly dressed, so she didn't dare to look down on her and led people in respectfully.
Xia Qiyue looked back and saw An Youde and An Zihao quickly following in, leading them inside.
"Girl, what do you want to buy? The most delicious thing here is pear paste, do you want some?"
Xia Qiyue stopped fussing and said, "I'm here to discuss some business with your shopkeeper. I wonder if you can introduce me to someone?"
As soon as he heard this, the waiter's attitude became not very good, and his face fell. "Our shopkeeper has so many things to do, how can we have time to discuss business with you? Moreover, there is a special supply place for candied fruits in our shop. Don’t you know about Jingcheng Liji Preserved Fruits?”
The waiter boasted proudly, "Our Li Ji candied fruit has been said to be delicious by the nobles in the palace! It's not just random things made by cats and dogs that we Li Ji sells! You'd better hurry up and get back where you are." Bar!"
There were a lot of people in the shop at this time, and they were all young ladies and maids. Women have always been a type of people who like to gossip and have no brains to follow trends. After hearing what the waiter said, Li Ji was even more praised to the heavens. .
She called what Xia Qiyue said a bit unpleasant, saying that they came here to buy because of Li Ji's brand, and they wouldn't come here if Li Ji accepted these messy things.
They surrounded me one after another, and the situation became difficult to control. Finally, the waiter had no choice but to run to the shop owner in a hurry.
"Fourth sister-in-law, let's leave quickly!" As a man, An Youde couldn't squeeze in, so he could only shout from the outside of the crowd.
Xia Qiyue doesn't want to stay here anymore. It's not that she's afraid, it's just that she doesn't feel like she's worthy of cooperation here.
No matter how big the shop is, she doesn't want to cooperate with him if his character is not good, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future.
However, several women surrounded her and deliberately prevented her from leaving.
"Please give way!" Xia Qiyue said with a cold face and a moderate volume.
She just wanted to come to Li Kee Preserves to sell her own candies, so why did she offend these people and target her like this?
"Haha...Are you scared this time? Want to run?" The woman standing directly opposite her, blocking her way, asked with a half-smile.
