Chapter 9 The Bazaar
Xu had something in his heart, and before dawn the next day, Lin Yu was the first to get up. After she got dressed and got off the ground, Daquan also opened her eyes.
"Why did the eldest sister get up so early today?" Daquan asked sleepily.
"I discussed with my sister-in-law yesterday, and today I have to get up early to sell snacks." Lin Yu replied with a smile.
"Selling dim sum? Big sister, what did you do? Daquan asked, his eyes wide.
"Hmm. Yesterday, eldest brother, you drank too much, and when you came back, you lay down and fell asleep, and my sister-in-law and I stayed until midnight, and after a while, I had to bother my eldest brother to pick it up to the town, and my sister-in-law and I were responsible for selling. ”
"Oh, yes!" With that, Daquan immediately got up.
Feeling the lifting of the quilt, Sun also opened his eyes, saw that Lin Yu was up, and he quickly got up.
Daquan brought the bucket over, Lin Yu used the cotton gauze he bought yesterday to spread it inside, and carefully stacked the moon cakes inside, with large pumpkin stuffed mooncakes on one side and pumpkin mooncakes with small five-kernel fillings on the other. Two small steamers are stacked on top, and inside the steamers are small snacks sitting on the leaves of the cut buds.
"Sister, how much have you gotten here?" Daquan was speechless.
"It was one hundred and sixty mooncakes and two hundred pumpkin cakes. Later, when we go to the market, we will sell two mooncakes for five cents and send a pumpkin cake. Pumpkin cake is sold for one penny and two pennies for three. Then let's take a few more for everyone to try, and save some for home food. Lin Yu replied.
"For a penny a thing, you still have to buy two mooncakes and give them away?" Sun's loud voice was raised all of a sudden.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not a free gift, this is a promotion!" You see, there are already two time-honored shops selling dim sum in the city, let's not come out to sell them coldly, and people don't trust them! Not only that, but we have to take a few more months of cakes and cut them into small pieces for everyone to try, so that everyone will feel fooled when they go back and think that we will lie to them again. ”
"Look at what the eldest sister said is so reasonable! Doing business should be honest, whether others buy or not, let's put things there first, Tong Suo is not deceived! "Daquan Dao.
Sun pursed his mouth and didn't say anything, so he had to go and tell the two children to get up quickly.
Daquan went to clean up the rabbit he hunted yesterday, and peeled off the snake and soaked it in cold water.
"Big sister, let's keep the wild boar and rabbit at home and we eat it ourselves, and the pheasant will be sold on the market in a while, do you think it's okay?" Daquan was busy with his work, and he said to Lin Yudao.
Seeing Daquan asking his opinion, Lin Yu was a little flattered. I have always felt that I am living in Daquan's house, and at this moment, Daquan asked her opinion, and suddenly there was a feeling that she was also the owner of the house.
"Big brother, you don't have to ask me. You and your sister-in-law can discuss it no matter what. ”
"It's right to discuss with you, we're all family."
Listening to this "family", Lin Yu's eyes were hot, "Actually, it's all good, I listen to my eldest brother." ”
"Huh! Then let's eat rabbit stew tomorrow night! Daquan laughed.
"Good!" Lin Yu couldn't stop the smile in his eyes.
The family had breakfast, leaving Taifu and Taicai to look after the house. So he picked up his things and went to the county seat, and it was just dawn at this time.
The autumn morning air is very cool, and the fog makes the autumn leaves loom all over the mountain, like entering a fairyland. But there is also a bad point, that is, the thick fog makes the clothes of the three people a little wet.
Because I was going to set up a stall at the market, I went very early, and the people in the village who rushed to the market did not leave as early as them.
Along the way, Daquan sighed a few words from time to time, sometimes it was nostalgic for the happy times when the brothers and sisters were children, and some said that there were some changes in the family after Lin Yu entered the palace, but many still sighed that Lin Yu had a small craft that could make money. Lin Yu felt very heartwarming, and the feeling of "home" became stronger.
When I arrived at the farmers' market in the city, there were already two long queues at the entrance to buy the right cards, and each team had more than 20 people, which showed that the market was booming.
Daquan asked Sun and Lin Yu to rest next to him, while he went to line up.
There were more and more people in line, and by the time the hour came, there were nearly fifty people in each line.
When he arrived at Daquan, Lin Yu went over to take a look and chose a location in the middle. I went to the next shop and rented a table for five cents, and then I moved the things to my stall and began to put them up.
Lin Yu neatly placed the moon cakes and pastries on the table one by one, covered them with clean gauze, and took a small plate to put the cut samples outside. There is a complete range of pheasants on the table legs, so that moon cakes and pheasants are sold, and there is no delay.
"Mooncakes! Delicious mooncakes! The most popular mooncake in Kyori! Seeing that the number of people gradually increased, Lin Yu began to sell.
"The most fashionable mooncake in Beijing! Two for five cents, and a pumpkin cake worth one penny! Come and try it, come and take a look! ”
Originally, the Sun family was not too embarrassed about selling, especially when Daquan was still around. It can be seen that Lin Yu's voice is also a little quieter, and he himself is out of the way, and he shouts with an open voice. "The most fashionable mooncake in the capital! Five cents for two, and a small snack is also given! Come and buy it! ”
With Sun's loud voice, after a while, a large group of people were crowded in front of the mooncake stall.
"This is a popular mooncake in Beijing?" Some will be skeptical.
"Is that still fake? My sister-in-law only came back from Beijing half a month ago! Sun replied.
"This mooncake looks novel, yellow, just like the moon at night!"
"That's not it! It's popular to eat this now! Sun said proudly.
"I don't know if it's good or not?"
"Whether it's delicious or not, you can taste it and you'll know! Taste it before you buy it! Lin Yu replied with a smile.
"It's good!" So one of the people took a small piece and tasted it.
"Yes, yes, it's not the same as what we usually eat, it's delicious!"
"I'll buy a piece!"
"I'm sorry, this eldest sister, I want to explain to you first, our moon cakes are five cents and two yuan, and we will also send a pumpkin cake. If you buy a piece, it will cost three cents, and you won't give it away. Look, how many do you want? ”
"Those two! Two pieces! ”
"Sister-in-law collects money!" Lin Yu said to Sun with a smile while neatly helping others wrap moon cakes.
"You take it lightly, if you pinch it, it won't look good!" Lin Yudao.
"I want two!"
"I want four!"
Mooncakes are much more popular than you think, coupled with the temptation of gifts, even the people who set up stalls around come to line up to buy them, for fear that they will be sold out when it is too late.
In just a quarter of an hour, Lin Yu and the others sold more than 100 mooncakes.
Although the small snacks are also given, compared with the five cents of moon cakes, the two cents are also very attractive, so they are also sold a lot.
Holding the heavy money bag, Sun's face was smiling. If it were all sold on this day, it would be nearly 600 dollars!
