Boss Su had no choice but to turn around and leave, but he had no intention of giving up. If there was no hope for the secret recipe, he could resell it and earn the difference.
A businessman does not mind a small amount of money, and a fly's legs are also meat, so he will accept them without fail.
So a situation emerged. Every day before dawn, Qiuniang would come to the door. As soon as the candies came out, she would wrap them up.
After two days like this, other people who came to buy candies were not happy. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. There were more people visiting relatives and friends, so there were more gifts, and more people needed halva nougat. But at this time,
Who wouldn’t be angry if we can’t buy it anymore?
As a result, a phenomenon emerged, that is, everyone blocked the door of Xia Qiyue, refusing to leave despite the cold weather, just waiting for Xia Qiyue to open the door to sell candy.
But in the circle of rich people, there is a person who sells high-priced candies, almost three times as much as Xia Qiyue's.
Not only did they block the door and resell it at a higher price, this seriously affected Xia Qiyue's side, but people outside could not stay quietly and were noisy. It also affected Liu Jiajia's confinement period, and the child was crying incessantly due to the noise.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what should we do? But when the lady next door comes to buy candy, we have to sell it!" An Youde was extremely distressed, and the others were also racking their brains to think of a solution while peeling the peanuts.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and those people can buy it in bulk and sell it for several times the price. This means that our regular customers can't buy it, and it's not a problem to be blocked at the door. This will affect the lives of the people nearby.
Yes, it might also allow some crooked people to take advantage of it." An Zihao followed.
He no longer needs to rest in bed and can walk without a cane as long as his left leg is not tired.
"Fourth sister-in-law, why not just stop selling to that girl next door!" An Sijin said angrily.
As he said this, Liu Jiajia's daughter started crying again. Mrs. An and Wang ran over to check on her before she could say a word.
At this time, there were more and more people at the door, and even more people came with bedding, which was just like Xia Qiyue's place.
"Sister, why don't we sell limited quantities of candies tomorrow? Each person can only buy two packs, so that everyone can buy them!" Xia Jiuyue came up with such a way.
He was immediately recognized by everyone, and An Youde nodded his head in agreement with Xia Jiuyue's proposal.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, "No, you also said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. People who usually buy candies must be wealthy people. They must visit more relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. They need more gifts. I only sell two packs to them.
They will definitely have to make a fuss by then!" Xia Qiyue analyzed, "It's better to uproot it from the roots!"
"What follows?"
Everyone looked over in confusion, looking at Xia Qiyue with confusion.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. You will know tomorrow. Hurry up and work. We will sell for two more days. We will have a holiday on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month! We have worked hard to escape and do business. It is time to have a good rest and live a good life.
year!”
Everyone cheered, "Well, fourth sister-in-law, how about we do more in the last two days?"
"Yes, yes! Do more, earn more money and live a prosperous year!"
"That's it, okay, Fourth Sister-in-law? Why don't we go back tonight and stay together to work!"
Suddenly everyone's excitement jumped, and they all clamored to work overtime and do more work.
Xia Qiyue waved her hand, "No, just do as usual!"
First, she said that the process of making halva nougat was too complicated and it would be confusing if so many were sold at once.
Secondly, the sugar cane in her space is gone, and the sugar is almost gone. She has to plant the sugar cane first and then squeeze the sugar, which is very troublesome. The sugar in the space is only enough for two days, so she plans to wait until after the New Year.
Planting sugar cane to extract sugar.
Nowadays, there are simply not many opportunities to enter the space for such a long time. Once you sign in to plant a field or feed a cow or a chicken, you have to come out quickly.
The next day, before dawn, Qiuniang came over again, but when she saw the people queuing up at Xia Qiyue's door, she was dumbfounded. It shouldn't be. It's not dawn yet. Why are there so many people?
But those people didn't know that all the candies in the previous two days had been bought by the lady in front of them, so they didn't have any hostility towards her and just let her queue up.
The first one in the queue was Qin Lanlan's maid Lu'er. She was shivering with cold and standing in line. Miss Hei worked so hard to buy candy, so she must ask the lady to reward her with some good things when she gets back.
Xia Qiyue got up at dawn, tidied up briefly and opened the door.
Lu'er rushed in immediately, "Miss Xia, hurry up and get me twenty packs of candies! There should be some today, right? I'm the first one!"
Grandma Sun, who was waiting in line behind her, also said anxiously, "Miss Lu'er, don't buy them all. I want to buy them too, old lady!"
Xia Qiyue greeted with a smile, "Yes, yes, there are some today. Mrs. Su didn't come over to buy them. The reason two days ago was because Mrs. Su came over early in the morning and bought them all, so you couldn't buy them!"
Lu'er was dissatisfied, "What did she buy so much candy for? Really, she didn't even leave any for others!" She took out the money and took out a total of thirty taels of silver, because she wanted ten packs of each.
While Xia Qiyue brought her candy, she said intentionally or unintentionally, "Boss Su must be using it as a gift. After all, a boss of such a big size has to maintain many relationships!"
While he was talking, he had already handed over the candy, and the money was coming.
"Oh, my lady also wants to give some little sisters as gifts. She got angry after not buying them for two days. Miss Xia stopped talking to you. I have to rush back.
After Lu'er left, Grandma Sun was the one standing behind her. She heard the conversation between the two clearly, and she had already asked Xia Qiyue in a low voice.
"Miss Xia, which Boss Su are you talking about?"
Xia Qiyue had a smile on her face, she took the bait, very good.
"Is there any other boss Su in Jiuli Town? I heard from Mrs. Su that her husband owns a tea house..."
In fact, she found this out through hard work yesterday afternoon. She knew that Nanny Sun was the nanny next to Mrs. Su, so Xia Qiyue performed this truth-telling play.
Grandma Sun's face looked a little ugly when she heard this, but she had been around Madam for most of her life and knew what kind of person the Master was, so she asked a few questions calmly.
"Mrs. Su lives next door, doesn't she have an advantage over you? I don't know why she didn't come today. Maybe she was seriously ill. I think she was vomiting badly!" Xia Qiyue added.
Grandma Sun was already boiling inside, but she smiled harmlessly on her face and bought thirty packs of candies before leaving.
There were some that the lady wanted to give away, and there were also some for the two young ladies, and she came to buy them all by herself.
Xia Qiyue was in a good mood while selling sweets. Qiuniang was at the back of the queue and returned to the yard in frustration. She could see clearly.
As she expected, there was a commotion next door in the morning, and Boss Su's wife came over with her maid, wife, and servant.
Boss Su was not around, so he kidnapped Qiuniang and took her back. News spread like wildfire that Boss Su had an extramarital affair, and Qiuniang was also imprisoned by Mrs. Su. She issued a message to leave the mother and keep the son, otherwise she would make peace with Boss Su.
