Chapter 55: A Small Business
Yunzhu prepared for nearly five days, and asked Feng Ping'an to help her transform a pair of wooden barrels. She thought it would be a complicated job, or that it would not be done. Unexpectedly, Feng Ping'an really transformed it according to her requirements, and it took only three days before and after.
Yun Zhu took a closer look and designed three dark grids according to her requirements, and the space was not small, which was very good. Yunzhu was very satisfied, and thanked Ping'an: "It's hard for Brother Feng to do so well, I'll thank you again when I go back." ”
Peace is not in my heart.
Now that everything is ready, Yunzhu first picked out some of the vegetables pickled at the end of the year and prepared to sell them.
It's just that there are not many pickles, she has one bucket of pickles, and the other bucket contains some self-made mulberry paste, sour plum soup, prickly pear paste, etc. Just in time for the day of the fair, Yunzhu found the place where they sold vegetables and set up a stall, there was a big tree behind them, which was convenient for getting water, and there were some smooth big stones that could be used as stools.
Yunzhu came to the big tree with a pick, the location here is good, the people who come and go, and it is not far from the official road. There is a lot of traffic. It's just that others will also find a good position, and other small stalls have already taken the best position. The cloud beads can only shrink into a corner. She slowly took out the contents of the bucket and placed them in the basket she brought with her, instead of shouting and shouting like other vendors.
Now it's late spring, and the weather is getting hotter, but fortunately, the shade of the trees can be sheltered from the scorching sun.
As the sun rose, so did the number of pedestrians who came to the market. The small vendors next to her were those who sold straw sandals, sickles, hoes, bamboo baskets and baskets, and they wanted to say that they sold food. There is also a small stove that makes freshly baked cakes.
The stall is either set up by two people, or a single man. When a single woman like Yunzhu comes out, she is the only one in the vicinity.
After a while, passers-by came to the tree. First of all, some children were attracted by the aroma of the baked cakes and gathered around to eat.
Yunzhu is rarely cared about here. Anyway, it was the first day of setting up a stall, and she was calm, watching these people come and go coldly, but she was still comfortable.
Seeing that the sun is getting higher and higher, I can't help but feel a little hot. There were also more people, and many of them came to enjoy the shade under the big trees. They're pretty lively.
After a while. Some people were thirsty and looking for water to drink after eating the baked cakes there, and then they noticed Yunzhu's stall. A boy of seven or eight years old came running up, pointed to the contents of the small jar and asked, "What is it in?" ”
"Sour plum soup. Would you like a bowl? ”
The little boy subconsciously licked his mouth and looked at Yunzhu with wide eyes. Yunzhu took a bowl and filled it for him, he quickly took the bowl and drank it, and soon the bowl was at the bottom.
The little boy's face was filled with a smile of happiness and contentment. Stretch out your hand. He held the bowl to Yunzhu and wanted to drink another bowl. At this time, he heard the sound of scolding, Yun Zhu looked up, but saw a woman walking towards the little boy with a branch in her hand: "Little beast, I haven't seen you running around and eating for a while." ”
The little boy didn't have time to run and was caught by his mother and beaten several times, Yunzhu hurriedly persuaded: "Okay." What did such a young child hit him. Beware of breaking. ”
The woman immediately pointed the finger at Yunzhu: "I beat my baby, what do you care!" ”
Yunzhu saw her say this. knew that he was nosy, so he simply stopped interjecting. When the woman had taught her son enough, she asked Yunzhu, "How much?" ”
Yunzhu said: "Two pennies." ”
The woman took out two copper plates from her pocket and threw them to Yunzhu. The little boy wanted to drink another bowl and looked at the clouds with blank eyes.
Yunzhu thought, there was no business anyway, and she didn't want to carry such a heavy burden when she went back, so she filled another bowl and gave it to the little boy.
The little boy took it with a smile, and before he could drink it in his mouth, the woman slapped it and almost knocked over the sour plum soup. The little boy covered his face and said to his mother pitifully: "This is so delicious, my mother can taste it if you don't believe it." ”
Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "Let him drink it, I don't want money for this bowl." ”
When the woman heard that she did not want money, her expression softened, and the boy handed the bowl to his mother, and asked her to drink it, as if to prove that he was not lying.
The woman took a big sip, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, there was no astringency at all, and there was a faint aroma, which really quenched her thirst, and it was delicious, and she said in her heart, no wonder her son liked it so much, and after drinking two sips, she gave it to her son.
Her gaze shifted from one end of the burden to the other. But when I saw that it was some pickled vegetables, I felt that there was nothing new.
Yun Zhu noticed her gaze, and said with a smile, "Eldest sister, do you want to try it?" ”
The woman waved her hand and said no, but Yunzhu picked some with chopsticks, put them in a small plate, and invited her to taste them.
The woman tasted a bite of kohlrabi and dried turnips, and as she ate them, her expression became rich. Not convinced, a little ashamed, and a little excited. After tasting it, I couldn't help but ask, "There is nothing new about what you make, why does it taste so good?" ”
Yunzhu smiled and said: "It's just that I've done a lot and summed up some experience, if it's very ordinary, it's not easy to sell it." ”
The woman has always been very confident in her craft, but when she tasted the one Yunzhu was sitting on, she was still a little ashamed, so she said that she would buy two catties and go back to taste it to see if she could make it.
Yunzhu was naturally happy to have a business that came to the door, and hurriedly weighed the money.
At first, the woman chased the little boy and many idlers watched, but now that the mother and son are gone, those onlookers have gradually dispersed. Of course, there are also people who are curious about what Yunzhu sells, and they want to buy a bowl of sour plum soup to taste, and for a while, Yunzhu's business has also opened and he has become busy.
Although she is alone, sometimes it is inevitable that she is a little busy, but she is extremely happy in her heart.
Next to her stall was a man selling straw sandals and a hat, at first he shouted at the top of his throat, and seeing that Yunzhu had been staying there quietly, he thought that this girl would not do business. At this time, I saw a lot of people coming to buy things, and I thought, this girl is still a little capable!
After a busy morning, the sour plum soup is the best to sell, and now it has bottomed out, and there is not much mulberry paste and prickly pear fruit paste left. There is still half of the pickled vegetables left, and since it is the first time to sell them, Yunzhu is already very satisfied.
When he returned home, he sold a total of more than 50 yuan, and Yunzhu thought contentedly, as long as he was willing to work, he would not die of hunger. The excitement is even more sufficient. She put all the money in a jar. I want to save some a day, and when I meet the right opportunity in the future, it will be good to come down from the store. (To be continued......)
