Chapter 27: My Family Has a Daughter Who Has Grown Up
A large number of people stopped to watch in front of the bean flower stall. Tofu is sold on weekdays, and the process is not much different from bean curd, but tofu can be used to make dishes, although the amount of beans made per pound cannot be compared with bean curd, but a piece of tofu costs three dollars.
Compared with the bean curd, a big bowl went down, although the stomach was filled at that time, but it was not a top matter, and it was not possible to fry the vegetables when it was taken home, let alone eat, so there were bean curd sold in other places in the Heavenly Empire, but there was no such thing sold in Weijia Town, and the traders felt that it was not cost-effective, so no one did it.
Now Fox Dayou took out a big bucket of bean curd to sell, everyone watched the excitement, of course they all wanted to take a look, of course, there were people who really wanted to taste it, but whoever sold something would let people taste it for free first.
Fox Xiaomei shouted for a long time, but there were a lot of people around, but no one bought it, and they didn't ask. Seeing that a woman with a child finally approached, Hu Xiaomei immediately stopped and greeted the woman with a smile: "Does this aunt buy a bowl of bean curd?" It is nutritious and delicious for children. ”
The woman was dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and her family background should be just passable, she was holding the child in one hand and an old burden in the other, looking at the fox Xiaomei's eyes flashing, and her expression was hesitant.
Hu Xiaomei understood what she meant in a blink of an eye, and asked her with a smile: "This is our newly ground bean curd, I am selling it for my father, you are my first customer, if you want to buy it, you can taste it for free first, no silver." ”
"Really?" The woman's eyes lit up, but her eyes looked at the fox friend in the middle.
Fox Dayou didn't understand what trick his daughter was playing, and he naturally couldn't break his trust in the face of so many people, so he smiled and nodded.
"What if it doesn't taste good?" The woman asked again.
"It's a free trial. If you don't think it tastes good, just go. Fox Xiaomei said.
Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, spoke much more generously, and bent down to the six-year-old girl beside her, "Girl, do you want to taste it?" You don't have to pay for it. ”
The little girl was already hungry, and when she heard this, she immediately nodded, stretched her neck and licked her lips.
Fox Xiaomei looked at it and smiled slightly, took out a bowl from the bucket, scooped half a bowl of bean curd for the little girl on the spot in front of everyone, and then took a small jar from Hu Dayou's hand, took a spoon and scooped a little sugar in it, put it into the bean curd bowl together, and finally handed it to the woman.
In the small jar is the maltose that Wei Sanniang saved before, and at this time, in addition to the maltose, it is caramel. Comparatively speaking, maltose is not as sweet and thick as caramel and is naturally not as expensive as caramel sugar.
The woman took the bowl and sniffed it herself, and immediately smiled, and sighed, "Wow, what a fragrance! ”
Someone next to him immediately came over: "Really? I smell it. ”
The woman brought the bowl to the man, and the man approached, and before he could get close to the bowl, he smelled the fragrance of bean blossoms, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, it's really fragrant!" ”
The people around immediately scrambled to ask.
The woman was overjoyed, glad that she was the first to stand up, and that the smell alone would not taste bad, and that even if it was not as delicious as she imagined, it would cost nothing. She took a spoon in a bowl and stirred the sugar well, first scooped a spoonful and tasted it, the thick fragrance of bean curd, sweet and tender, melted in the mouth. Naturally it is very delicious!
She couldn't wait to scoop another spoonful, and then fed the child a spoonful, and without Hu Xiaomei asking, the woman smiled happily and took the initiative to thank her: "It's really delicious, I want to buy a bowl." He gave the bean curd to the little girl, then opened the baggage in his hand, and took out two bowls from it, the light gray porcelain bowl had a thin layer of ash on it, and a few finger prints, apparently just bought.
Porcelain bowls are generally light gray and pure white. Generally, farmers use light gray porcelain bowls in their homes, because they are cheaper.
Fox Xiaomei took a bowl and scooped a bowl of water into the other bucket and poured it into the woman's bowl, and the woman washed the two new bowls with water, first poured the remaining half bowl of bean curd into the bowl in the little girl's hand, and then handed the other bowl to Fox Xiaomei.
Fox Xiaomei scooped a big bowl for her, and finally received a copper plate.
The woman's eyes narrowed with laughter, picked up the burden and pulled the child out of the crowd slowly, and instructed the child who was scooping the bean curd into her mouth as she walked: "It's good to taste a little first, let's keep it and eat it when we go home?" I've got to save some for my brother! ”
As soon as the woman left, Hu Xiaomei looked at the crowd of onlookers with a smile: "May I ask which other uncles and aunts, do you want to taste them?" Try it for free, only three bowls! ”
As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately scrambled: "I want to taste it." ”
"I want to taste it."
……
People naturally won't refuse something that is delicious, uneaten, and inexpensive, even if they don't have a taste.
A bucket of bean curd was sold out quickly, and the original plan was to have fifteen bowls of bean curd for one pound of soybeans, and forty-five bowls for three catties of soybeans. The first time it was sold, it was scooped to the brim in order to attract people, and forty-five bowls became forty bowls. Excluding the free three bowls, they were only sold for thirty-seven cents.
Calculate the cost again, a pound of soybeans is six yuan, three pounds is eighteen yuan, today I earned nineteen yuan, ten days of one hundred and ninety yuan, a month is five hundred and seventy yuan, and then remove the money to buy maltose, a month, how can there be five hundred yuan.
In the past, when I was selling vegetables, even if I went every day, I couldn't earn 500 yuan.
Fox Dayou and Fox Lixiang were very happy, and Fox Dayou deliberately gave her five cents in order to reward Fox Xiaomei, and didn't let her help clean up, so she went shopping by herself and bought some things she liked. Hu Xiaomei only bought a few meat buns, and specially wrapped them in oiled paper, preparing to go back to Xiangwu to eat them with her family.
When Wei Sanniang finished shopping in the bazaar, when she bought something and turned back, Hu Dayou had already disappeared, she thought that the business was not good, and Hu Dayou picked it up to sell it elsewhere, and she didn't see anyone in the bazaar, and finally found that Hu Dayou's father and daughter had been waiting at the entrance of the bazaar, and the three of them looked at her with joy on their faces.
When she saw the empty bucket of bean curd, Wei Sanniang was very surprised: "Ah, the bean curd is sold out?" ”
Fox Dayou laughed: "That's it." He glanced at his two daughters appreciatively, and was triumphant: "Father and daughter are concentric, and their benefits are golden." After saying that, he himself felt that he had used the word too correctly, and he almost couldn't help but applaud himself.
Fox Dayou also knew some words when he was young, and then he ran around for a living all day long, wandering around the fields and fields every day, as the saying goes, if you don't practice your hands for three days, you can't read many words. Luckily, I remember a word or two.
Wei Sanniang pouted and looked at him, laughing: "Yo yo, I'm afraid that others won't know that you know two words, and you still chew the words!" ”
Fox Dayou's face was beaming with joy and even more happy: "That is." ”
Before doing this business, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, especially in the morning when no one cared about the bean curd stall in the market, Wei Sanniang was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Is it really sold out?" ”
Hu Xiaomei looked at her mother with a smile, and proudly raised the bun in her hand: "Mother, this is the meat bun I bought, we can have a tooth sacrifice at noon today!" ”
Wei Sanniang's eyes lit up suddenly, and she opened the two wooden barrels to make sure that the bean curd inside was indeed sold out, and there was not even a drop of water left, so she said happily: "Hey, it's really sold out, it's great." Then he wondered: "Wasn't there no one when I left, why was it sold out?" ”
Fox Dayou touched Fox Xiaomei's head with relief, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the second child's idea." There is a sense of happiness that "my family has a daughter who has grown up".
I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep on it all day.
