Chapter 893: Be confident
In fact, the town is not as wide as Chi Taotao wants to be in the middle, almost two or three feet wide, the streets are lined with houses, or wooden houses, or tile houses, most of them are one-storey, and some are two-storey, it should be a restaurant or something, people come and go on the street, and the steps are hurried.
Chi Taotao followed behind Mu Erlang, being pulled by Mu Erlang, going around and around, turning around, just when Chi Taotao was a little dizzy and felt that she would not be able to find her way back if she spared any longer, Mu Erlang led her to stop in front of an inconspicuous small door.
"Brother Li, let's go," Mu Erlang shouted in a raised voice.
Erlang once explained to Chi Taotao when he was at home, this person and things. This Uncle Li's name is Li Cai also came out of Mu Erlang's village, in the early years, because of his own ability, he made a small business and made a small fortune, so he bought a house in this town, rented such a small storefront, and did some small business, because Mu Erlang often but in the town, plus the people are also thick, this comes and goes, his relationship with this family is also good, it can be said that he is more familiar with his father and mother.
"Hey, it's here, it's Erlang here" Another woman came out of the room, "Yo, I said this is Erlang's new daughter-in-law!
"This is my sister-in-law, Erlang often mentions you to me, saying how good you are to him!
"What kind of thanks! They are all villagers, so they all have to take care of each other, and it's not that I said that Erlang is really good, sister, I think you are a good person, just tell the truth, you! Don't listen to that gossip, people! Be good to you, live well is the most important thing, you say yes!" Wang Shi said and then opened the topic, looking at it really like home.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I saved it, you're right, living life is the most important thing, how can there be such a thing?" Chi Taotao felt that this woman looked very kind, unlike other women, she liked it a little. But she was still a sane person, and she knew what she was here for, but she didn't say it right away.
"Okay, you're always like this, don't invite people to drink saliva, just don't ask Erlang if the two of them are going to do something, pull people to talk endlessly, fortunately Erlang's family has a good temperament, otherwise the rickshaw will catch fire early. At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the room and said to Wang.
"You dead ghost, you talk a lot, don't I see my brother and sister say a few more words at first sight, look at what you say. Wang shouted dissatisfiedly. Fu also felt that he was wrong, and looked at Chi Taotao, who was smiling slightly, and asked kindly,
"Brother and sister, how are you in town today?"
"Sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law made some food two days ago, and I took it to the town today to buy it, try to see if I can exchange it for a few copper coins!" Mu Erlang didn't wait for Chi Taotao to speak, "My daughter-in-law hasn't been to the town before, isn't I worried about it, thinking if I can set up a stall at your door, and I can take care of it!"
"Okay, it's a daughter-in-law who will feel sorry for her, and my brother and sister will be here, yes, let me sell it, it's okay, just put it on it. Wang was happy when he heard it, and opened his mouth boldly.
"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law," Chi Taotao began.
"It's okay, it's okay, what kind of politeness are you from Erlang's family! My daughter-in-law said that you can just put it. ”
This Li Cai is also a small business, and he set up a grocery store to sell some daily necessities or something, small items that are commonly used every day, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, and it is also strange that it is comprehensive, Chi Taotao took a general look, and his heart was low. I thought that no matter whether I had income or not, I would have to buy something here and go back.
After Mu Erlang told Li Cai, he explained to Chi Taotao, and left to find something to do first, this time is still early, he still has to find a job, earn dozens of copper plates and make up for the family, to be honest, he doesn't have much hope for his daughter-in-law to make those meals, although he also feels that he dares to eat, but he knows that the people in this town generally don't look down on the food that the village makes, but his daughter-in-law doesn't know, and he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to get up early and be so tired, but he wants to let her suffer a loss first, but it's okay, anyway, it's some food, if it doesn't work, just eat it yourself, he will definitely eat it back, and he won't waste a little。 What's more, there is a greedy little one in the family? He has always been very face-saving to his mother.
After Mu Erlang left, Chi Taotao set up a small stall next to her store with the help of Aunt Li, which was good.
After a long time, when it was close to the end of the day, there were gradually more people on the street, selling steamed buns, rock sugar gourds, rice cakes, and the shouts of the vendors were in the ears, and the stall owners were all shouting and selling, and there was no movement on Chi Taotao's stall, but her face was thin, and she was thinking about the same thing in her heart, but it was a little timid to let her tear her throat and shout at her.
At this time, the sister-in-law of the Li family sent away another guest, and saw Chi Tao Taogan anxiously stomping her feet at the door, looking at the pedestrians who came and went and couldn't wipe her face, she snorted, and immediately became happy.
"I said Erlang's family, you can't do this, how can you do this business, how can you be thin-skinned? Listen to people, you have to shout out, otherwise how will others know what you are selling! It's useless to be just here?"
"Sister-in-law, I ......" Chi Taotao choked her little face red.
"You, you're still too young and too tender, look at me," Li was anxious and saw that Chi Taotao couldn't say a word for a long time, so he opened his mouth and shouted loudly for her.
"Sell potato chips, fried fragrant and crispy potato chips! Come and take a look, take a look, fragrant and crispy potato chips!" Her voice was loud and full of energy, and her words were smooth and slippery, and she was stunned for a while. Admired.
Because at the beginning, Chi Taotao was definitely on someone else's territory, a stall set up at the door of someone's house, she was not that stingy person, when she saw Li's son come out, she grabbed a plate of potato chips for him on the spot, and he ate it with a mouth full of oil, and said that it was delicious, and she didn't say much, and grabbed a plate of sweet potato chips for him. The kid happily ran out to play, and he hasn't come back yet, probably showing off with his friends. So this Li family knows what she sells. I've also tasted it, but she doesn't know if it's really true or not, but it's delicious.
As the old saying goes, Chinese love to make fun, and this ancient people are even more so, no, Chi Taotao, a small stall that no one cared about, under the shouting of Li's two voices, immediately gathered a group of people who watched the excitement and asked, looking at Chi Taotao's two baskets as if they were strange.
Chi Taotao looked at the crowd that hugged over and was happy in her heart, great, business is coming, it has this premonition.
Thinking like this, she turned around and smiled a little shyly at Li, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Hey, it's really unusual, it's the first time I've seen potatoes do this,"
"yes, yes, well, it smells weird,"
"Yes, it looks weirdly thin, I just don't know how to sell it, it's not expensive, I'll buy some and try it,"
"Eldest sister, what does this potato chip smell like?" Several women looked at it for a while, and finally someone looked at Li Shi and asked.
Li smiled slightly, looked at Chi Taotao's signal, meaning that she wanted her to take over, after all, it was not her business, she couldn't be the master, she just wanted to help her say hello a little, and she also wanted to see what Chi Taotao's ability was, whether she could get on the table, and there was only so much she could help.
"This eldest sister, I also have fried potato chips in my basket, the taste is salty, it is an excellent food, it is best to buy some back to the child as a snack," she said and pointed to the other side and said unhurriedly, "And I also have a basket, it is fried sweet potato chips, the taste is a little sweet, it tastes fragrant and crispy, my kid likes this sweet potato chips very much,"
"That's so good, a set, how do you sell it!" asked a woman next to her, apparently attracted to it, and planning to buy some to try it.
"Eldest sister, I don't have much to eat, potato chips cost fifteen yuan a catty, and sweet potato chips cost ten yuan a catty," Chi Taotao said slowly, in fact, she had thought about the price last night, which was also what she thought of again and again, and she decided without discussing anything with Mu Erlang.
"Ten wen, a string of sugar gourds in other people's houses is only two cents, and you can buy five or six strings of other people's catties, and you are about to catch up with the price of pork," a woman was frightened on the spot when she heard the price of Chi Taotao, and exclaimed.
"Yes, yes, isn't it just some potato chips, sweet potato chips, who doesn't have them at home, you can buy a few catties for ten cents, right?
"Alas, if it's cheaper, I can buy some for the Taoist boy in my family, my family has planted fewer potatoes this year, and they have already been eaten, and they are sold so expensive, you don't want us to buy them!"
"Yes, yes, seeing that she's weirdly young, why don't you shout the price again!"
"I don't know, I don't know who is in charge?"
......
In fact, even the Li family, who was standing with Chi Taotao on the side, was startled by the price that Chi Taotao shouted, this Erlang's family really dares to say, it is still too tender, just the snacks that this family has, what is so strange, why is it so expensive, she listened to the bursts of words in the crowd, and looked at Chi Taotao a little anxiously, wanting to persuade her to lower the price. But I saw Chi Taotao standing there quietly, smiling slightly, looking confident.
