167. Market turmoil
I don't know if Chen Lizhi's compliment had an effect, or if this woman tasted the osmanthus chestnut, it was indeed right for her taste, the smile on her face suddenly increased, and she raised her hand arrogantly and said: "Although this osmanthus chestnut is more expensive, but the taste is okay, just weigh me ten catties, I am mainly for the cloth bag, if it is not for my niece to like it, I am reluctant, call so many chestnuts, but how to eat it, or you will give it cheaper?" β
"Auntie, if you feel that this chestnut is not released, and it will be tasteless after a few days, then it is better for you to buy this shortbread, this cake has been put away, as long as it is tightly tied with a bag, it will not be bad for ten days and half a month. The most important thing is that this cake tastes super good, here is a tasting, just freshly cut, you taste it, if you don't think it's delicious, then I will never sell it to you again. Chen Lizhi worked hard to sell it again, and deliberately pushed the red cardboard in front of the woman, so that she could see that their chestnut cake was a famous and century-old secret ingredient.
The woman probably also knew a few words, and when she looked at those words, what palace royal legend, what emperor ate and praised, what hundred years of inheritance, what refined secret recipe and other words, she immediately felt that this cake was tall.
I took a bamboo skewer and ate a small piece of shortbread to taste, the entrance is crispy, sweet and soft, and the taste is fresh and natural, which makes people feel better, it is indeed better than osmanthus chestnut.
"This cake is good, how much is a pound?"
"Auntie, this cake doesn't matter what it weighs, it's sold for a dollar." Chen Lizhi said with a smile.
The woman almost jumped up: "What, you are a bread made of gold, so big, and you need a dollar?" It's too expensive, I dare to pack tickets, you sell them like this, today, you will definitely not be able to sell any of them. β
The woman's voice was so loud that the rest of the people heard it and gathered around her. Pointing and pointing, they all said that Chen Yuezhi was crazy about money.
Such a small pie is a big one, and you pay a dollar, do you think the money is blown by the wind?
Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Huizhi were accused of being very embarrassed. Shangguan Lei was a little angry and wanted to go out with Chen Mingzhi to beat people, but Chen Yuezhi was calm.
"As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and my stuff is delicious. It's worth the price, if we can't sell it today, we will take it home and eat it ourselves, but we must not sell it cheaply. β
"This little girl, why don't you come out with an adult at home and let her mess around here."
"That's it, I call sesame cakes in the supply and marketing cooperative, such a big one, only one dollar, is worth five or six big cakes."
The woman twisted her waist triumphantly and said, "I am doing it for your good." You see, everyone says that the price you set is expensive, who would be so stupid to come and buy such expensive cakes, I think you might as well be cheaper, just a dime, then I see that you are young, it is not easy to come out to do business, so I will buy twenty and let you open it. β
"A dime a dozen? This aunt. You're joking, if you don't buy it, please step over and don't delay the other guests. The smile on Chen Lizhi's face immediately closed. The tone also cooled.
"You! Hmph" The woman didn't expect Chen Lizhi's face to change so quickly, she glared at him angrily at the moment, turned around and was about to leave, and said loudly as she walked: "The attitude is so bad, the price is so expensive, and everyone else is stupid." I'd like to see, how many can you sell today? β
"Ouch, who doesn't walk long." Before the fat woman's words fell, she was squeezed by a middle-aged man, and she almost fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud.
When she stood up, she found out that it was Brother Xiao Ma who collected stall fees in the market, and immediately accompanied her smile: "It is my blessing to be stepped on by Brother Xiaoma." β
Brother Xiao Ma doesn't look like he is just in charge of the vegetable market, but I heard that there are big people behind him, and even the mayor and the director of the police station have to nod their heads and smoke when they see him, she doesn't dare to show face to him.
It's just that why is Brother Pony going in the direction of those little girls? Haha, I must have gone to trouble them, the newcomer doesn't understand the rules, and he must have not paid the protection fee.
The fat woman's eyes rolled and she immediately followed, wanting to see the excitement and jokes, but as soon as she walked there, she was dumbfounded, only to see Brother Xiao Ma smile at the little lady who was talking with a strained face before: "Big sister, is there still that cake?" β
Chen Yueyi saw that it was Brother Xiaoma, and then looked at his demeanor and tone, he knew that it must be a good thing, but there was still a somewhat suspicious fat woman standing behind him, and he immediately understood, and deliberately said loudly: "Brother Xiaoma, of course there is, there are more, just now someone said that one dollar is too expensive, and said that I will not be able to sell any of them, I am afraid, why did Brother Xiaoma suddenly remember, is it too expensive?" β
"What? Such delicious cakes, such good things, one dollar is too expensive, there is no money to eat, don't be embarrassed here. Who dares to have such a big courage to make trouble on my little brother's territory, I don't know if you belong to me, sister? Who is it, you sue Brother SΓΉ, Brother will cut her for you. Little Brother Ma immediately jumped up angrily.
Chen Yuezhi smiled at the fat woman behind him, she immediately shrank her body and wanted to slip away, but her niece was dragging her back.
"Auntie, didn't you say to buy me beautiful cloth bags, why don't you buy them, I want cloth bags." The fat woman couldn't be noisy, so she had to come over and apologize to Chen Yuezhi.
"Then buy twenty loaves." The fat woman was almost unsteady under Brother Xiaoma's sharp eyes, thinking about buying the cake and leaving.
The little girl was very happy when she got the cloth bag she liked, and she jumped up and down with the fat woman.
Brother Xiao Ma glanced at the fat woman: "Lao Tzu knows her, she opened a small restaurant across the street, she is quite picky, and her mouth is damaged, sister, don't pay attention to her, hurry, sister, quickly wrap fifty cakes for my brother." I said you are really amazing, big sister, your cake is really good, the old lady of my family has refused to eat well for several days, and she has a terrible temper, who would have expected to smell the fragrance of your cake just now, and actually took the initiative to eat two, and you have to drink porridge after the end, don't you think it's strange? β
Of course, Chen Yuezhi knew the reason, but he didn't say anything, and without saying a word, he just loaded fifty of them. Unexpectedly, Brother Xiao Ma directly took out a piece of Grandpa Mao, slapped it into Chen Lizhi's hand and said: "Brother Xiao Ma is happy today, fifty yuan is cake money for you, and the other fifty yuan is a tip, I will reward you." β
"Brother Xiaoma, if you can come to buy cakes, it is the greatest support for Xiaomei. This extra money, the little sister can't ask for it, you can take it back and buy something for the old lady to eat. Chen Yuezhi excused himself, where did he think that this person was also a straightforward and cheerful temper.
"Here you go. You just take it, what does your mother-in-law do? I don't lack these two money, your little brother. With that, he hummed a little song and left.
Chen Lizhixi's eyes lit up, this is really a good start, a hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. It's just that to accept it or not, he glanced at his little sister.
"Let's take it first, at most next time he comes to get the cake, we don't need money, we can't take this cheap." Chen Yuezhi said, Chen Lizhi also smiled, and carefully put the money into his personal pocket.
With this good start of Brother Xiaoma, other onlookers, whether they join in the fun, or really like to eat. You also came up to buy one, and he bought two, but in the blink of an eye, the remaining forty or so cakes were sold out.
Some people came late, saw that there was no cake, looked at the chestnut, and felt that it tasted very good, and the small green rope basket containing the chestnut looked very delicate, and bought it back. Everyone eats chestnuts, and it is not bad to give baskets to children to play with.
It is said that the fat woman's surname is Zhu, her name is Zhu Cuihua, and she bought twenty cakes. My heart was very unsmooth, and I always thought that I had to give Chen Yuezhi some stumbling block, even if the money couldn't be returned, I was angry.
So she started with a row of shops at the entrance of the market, and whenever she saw people, she told them that there were a few new little girls in the market. Selling things is called an expensive one, but the fox is going to die, and he hooked up with that little horse brother, and what he said is called an ugly one.
In this way, by the time she arrived at her small restaurant, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Her husband Wang looked at her with a dark face and slapped her: "Are you going to the county to buy vegetables?" The hotel is still waiting for you to fire, you are fine, where did you run? β
As soon as Zhu Cuihua saw her husband, she was even more aggrieved, so she repeated what she had said dozens of times before, and Wang Dali felt strange when she heard it, so she asked her to take out the cake and take a look.
As a result, Wang Dali finished eating a cake, and immediately his eyes were round, and the thief was bright and bright, and said to his mother-in-law: "You said that this cake is a dollar?" β
"Yes, you also think it's quite expensive, right, I said, and I was scolded by Brother Xiaoma? The little vixen, I didn't see it, at a young age, he had a lot of ideas, and he was full of flowers, and he didn't look serious. Zhu Cuihua said indignantly.
"Are you stupid, such a delicious cake is more expensive for a dollar? You are big, hurry up and buy all the bread they have left. Wang Dali's flowery intestines turned away.
Zhu Cuihua hasn't understood yet, she thinks that her husband's brain was kicked by a donkey, and he still wants to buy such an expensive cake? These twenty are not enough for him to eat alone?
"What do you know, the last time a guest came to eat and drink, he said that after drinking, he couldn't eat, but he didn't eat, and he was hungry afterwards. If I can fill my stomach with a snack and be full, it would be good, I have been thinking about whether to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some sesame cakes, but the cakes are too common and have no characteristics, I am afraid that the guests will not like it. That's right, this cake is good, I've never seen it before, and it's very delicious to eat, and when the time comes, I'll put six or eight on a plate, and sell it for twenty yuan a plate, and someone will definitely want it. Wang Dali saw that his mother-in-law couldn't figure it out, so he had to whisper to her.
When Zhu Cuihua heard it, this is the truth, then, hurry up and buy it. But when she ran to the entrance of the market, she found that the stall had already changed.
She immediately went to inquire with the old man who sold vegetables next to her, but the old man said, "People will go back after selling early." Everyone brought a total of 100 cakes, and Brother Xiao Ma bought half of them, and everyone robbed them up. The chestnuts they sold also tasted very good, and I grabbed two catties and went back, planning to eat them as snacks for my grandson. β
Zhu Cuihua patted her thigh and regretted it to death, she knew that she wouldn't complain to other people, but when she saw the money in her hand, she flew away, and she hated Chen Yuezhi even more.
Naturally, as soon as she went back, she was counted down by Wang Dali, and she was beaten, Wang Dali said, let her go to the market early tomorrow morning, and keep an eye on those girls, as long as they came, they would immediately buy all the cakes.
Wang Dali's small restaurant, don't look at the small place, but the market is good, the daily business is still very good, I believe that it is not a problem to digest 100 cakes every day.
Chen Yuezhi sold out of his things, but he didn't go back, but he still went to the Zhou family's grain and oil shop, and sent Li Qingyu's share of the cake over by the way.
Zhou Ming was staring at the workers weighing rice, and when he saw them coming, he greeted them and asked them what they were doing in town.
As soon as Chen Yuezhi said this, Li Qingyu said in surprise: "Yes, you are here to do business, how is it, how are you selling, otherwise I will give you a cheer?" β
Chen Mingzhi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Auntie, I'm afraid you will have to win this game tomorrow, we sold it super well today, and it was sold out." β
"Look, this is the money we earned." Chen Lizhi is still a child after all, and it was the first time he made so much money, and he couldn't close his mouth all the time, and put the cloth bag in front of Zhou Ming and Li Qingyu, and as soon as the rope that was closed was opened, Li Qingyu was shocked when he saw it, so much?
Zhou Ming looked at the flowers inside, poured it out and counted it, there were two or three hundred yuan?
"Don't you just sell a chestnut, how many did you choose, and why did you sell it for so much money?" Li Qingyu asked in surprise.
Chen Huizhi listened to his sister's words, and kept an account, so he read it to Li Qingyu seriously.
"The raw chestnut is five catties, eight cents a catty, a total of four yuan. Twelve catties of raw chestnuts, one dollar per catty, a total of twelve yuan. Fifteen catties of sweet ripe small chestnuts, twenty-one catties a piece, a total of eighteen yuan. Ten pounds of sweet ripe large chestnuts, five pounds a piece, a total of fifteen yuan. Ten catties of osmanthus flavored small chestnuts, ten yuan, and ten catties of osmanthus flavored large chestnuts and eighteen yuan. These are seventy-seven dollars. Then there were a few cloth bags left, and we didn't plan to sell them alone, but some people had to buy them, so we sold them for two dollars each, and five cloth bags sold for ten dollars, which was eighty-seven. plus the chestnut shortbread one hundred and forty dollars, a total of two hundred and twenty-seven. β
A total of more than sixty catties of chestnuts, originally Chen Wei planned to help them pick them up and send them to the town, but was stopped by Chen Yuezhi, they were a group of six people, each of them carried a dozen catties in a basket, and it was enough, where could Chen Wei run hard.
When she was on the road, Zhang Mengmeng's strength was a little less, and in the end, Chen Mingzhi helped her carry it, Shangguan Lei had to help Chen Yuezhi carry the basket, but Chen Yuezhi didn't take this weight to heart at all.
Li Qingyu almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears: "What kind of cake did you say, sold for one hundred and forty yuan?" (To be continued.) )
