Chapter 30 The first time I arrived and was busy selling goods
As soon as he had breakfast, Chen Erniu drove to the door, and when he saw their three baskets of persimmons, he almost thought he was wrong, "I said Dazhuang, what are you doing with so many persimmons?" β
Gu Dazhuang laughed twice, took a persimmon and handed it over, "It's Siniang's upside down, Erniu, you can also have a taste." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"No, no, I just had breakfast, and my stomach is still swollen!" Chen Erniu hurriedly shook his head, muttering in his heart, he didn't eat such an astringent thing.
Gu Dazhuang shook his head with a smile, and just as he wanted to explain, he saw Chen leading Gu Siniang out of the house.
"Let's go!" Chen Erniu shouted and drove the ox cart out of the village slowly.
Talking and laughing all the way, they soon arrived in the town, and Chen Erniu sent them to the local convenience and went back.
It was also the first time for the family to set up a stall, so they found a place near the corner of the street and lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the golden persimmons inside.
I have to say that visually speaking, it is very good-looking.
There were more and more pedestrians on the street, including women with children, teenagers talking and laughing in pairs, passers-by in a hurry, and old people leisurely teasing birds.
But even so many people didn't see a single person buy her persimmons, but a few children looked at them curiously, and they were all pulled away by their own adults.
Gu Dazhuang and Chen are not people who often do business, and they can't do anything shouting along the street. After opening their mouths several times, they were speechless, and they looked at each other, all of them with helplessness.
"Siniang, why don't we go back." Chen looked at the sky and it was almost noon, and then looked at a persimmon that had not been sold, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"Your mother is right. People in the city may not like this thing, but they are people who are used to eating big fish and meat. Gu Dazhuang was also on the side to help, it was too difficult for him to be a big man shouting on the street.
Gu Siniang was also a little tired after staying all morning, but she was only five years old now, and she had no energy to spare. But she was holding back a lot of energy in her heart, and the last time she tested the water, the effect was very good, which showed that the taste of this thing was acceptable to the public.
"Sell persimmons! Delicious persimmons! The persimmon that is not sweet and does not cost money, I tasted it for free! β
She was already young and her voice was sweet, and a few people really stopped at this shout.
"Little girl, what are you selling?" The young woman stopped with a little boy in her arms.
"Auntie, come and taste my persimmons, which are different from other people's. This one is sweet. It was originally a little girl, and with a bright smile, the young woman was embarrassed to refuse, and when she was hesitating, the little boy beside her unconsciously secretly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mother, I want to eat this, this is better than apples." The little boy took the young woman's hand and shouted.
Only then did the young woman notice that there was still some yellow juice on the corner of her son's mouth, and her face couldn't help but change greatly, "Xiaomu, do you feel uncomfortable?" β
"Mother, I want to eat this, it's delicious!" The boy repeated it out loud.
Seeing this, the young woman also reached out and took a small piece and tasted it tentatively, and couldn't help but be surprised, "It's really sweet, why isn't it astringent at all?" β
"This is our Gu family's secret recipe, which is naturally sweet." Gu Siniang said proudly, and her voice deliberately improved a lot.
"And how do you sell this?" The young woman asked, wiping the corners of her mouth.
When Gu Siniang heard that there was a play, her smile became even brighter, "Auntie, now apples are twenty-five yuan a catty, and pears are twenty-three yuan a catty." Our persimmons are tastier than them, but much cheaper. Only fifteen cents. β
The young woman did the math, and she promised to bring fruit to the children of the family this time, and instead of buying such expensive things as apples and pears, it was better to buy a few persimmons, and the whole family could share one and taste it. Thinking about it like this, she smiled and said, "Okay, how much can you pack six for me?" β
Gu Dazhuang saw that someone wanted to buy persimmons, so he hurriedly picked six big and good colors, and said to Chen, "Child, give it to me." β
Chen was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head, "We didn't bring a scale when we came out!" β
I'm dumbfounded, I didn't weigh how to calculate the price! The young woman's desire to buy was also a little reluctant.
Seeing this, Gu Siniang immediately made a decision, put all six persimmons in the woman's basket, and took two more and put them in. "I didn't bring a scale today, it's our negligence, so let's do it, eight counts you as three catties. It's a total of 45 dollars. β
Eight large persimmons weighed five pounds, and the young woman was full of joy, paid very happily, and then led the little boy away.
Someone cheered and gave Gu Siniang strength, she shouted even harder, Chen saw that her daughter worked so hard at a young age, and she also joined in. Only Gu Dazhuang squatted awkwardly and refused to open his mouth.
Gradually, there are more and more people, some hesitant and some uneasy. There are also those who try it with the mentality of giving it a try.
In short, three baskets of persimmons were quickly sold out.
Gu Siniang was tired and sweaty, and there were a lot of people in front of her stall, but she still saw more and bought less.
"Huh? It's you! A middle-aged man in the crowd walked over and was obviously very surprised to see Gu Siniang.
This time it was Gu Siniang's turn to be stunned, she looked up at Chen, "Mother, do you know this uncle?" β
Chen also shook his head.
The middle-aged man insisted on scratching his head a little embarrassedly, "I took my son to the market last time." That kid has been making a fuss about eating your persimmons when he comes home! I was so annoyed by him that I couldn't go around town, but I didn't expect to meet you. β
Gu Siniang took a closer look when she heard this, and finally had some impressions.
At that time, there were many people in front of her stall to try food for free, and a little boy ate one piece and wanted a second piece, but she stipulated that each person could only taste one piece. The child cried in public, and Gu Siniang also saw the burly man's helpless look at that time, so she made an exception and gave the child another piece.
"It's you, uncle!" Gu Siniang greeted with a smile, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart, there would be repeat customers so soon! "How many do you want?"
"Bring me ten. There are many people in the family, and they all want to try it! The middle-aged man said cheerfully.
With a middle-aged man to do publicity, many people who were still in a wait-and-see state came over and paid money one after another to buy them back one by two.
There are more people, and only the Chen family can't be busy, Gu Siniang is young after all, and she is tired and panting after working for a while.
Gu Dazhuang had no choice but to go into battle by himself, he was responsible for taking the fruit, and the Chen family was responsible for collecting the money. The division of labor was clear, and soon the remaining two baskets of persimmons bottomed out.
