Chapter 20 Competition

"Okay, listen to Yangqing." Li Qiu's took out the bamboo skewers on his back and gave them to his family, and when he got to the ferry in the town, he put them in the back basket early, and Li Qiu took out thirty-six texts and handed them to Mr. Jiang, the boat fare and four catties of fish money, and Mr. Jiang took it and thanked him.

Li Yangqing has not been to the town for a while, and he is very kind to all kinds of lively cries, and the Li family set up a stall and began to fry the skewers, and some people came forward to buy one after another, and Li Yangqing helped pack them.

Li Yangming tugged at Li Yangqing's sleeve and raised his hand to the stall not far in front, "Little sister, look, it's the stall that also sells fried skewers." "The stall owners are two young men who are about ten years old, and they are all dressed in sackcloth, unlike the coarse kudzu cloth clothes with patches in the Li family, they should not be poor people who lack money, it seems that someone is specifically targeting the Li family.

"Come and buy it! Yang's fried skewers are cheap and delicious, two skewers are sold cheaply for a penny, we are the most conscientious and authentic merchants, we will not regret buying it, I still want to eat it, and I don't have to worry about eating it for a penny. "A young man with a pair of narrow eyes, his eyes kept scanning back and forth over the passers-by, and his mouth insinuated to sell, and his shouting did attract a group of cheap people, who surrounded their stalls to ask questions and buy food.

Li Yangqing gritted his teeth and shook the fist in his hand, and followed the cry unconvinced, "Cheap is not good, good is not cheap, Li's fried skewers are fresh, full of materials, clean and hygienic, ancestral formula, the first string of fried skewers is born in our Li's fried skewers, crispy and attractive golden dough, sweet and thirst-quenching chrysanthemum tea, is the best companion for fried skewers." The pedestrians who walked by heard Li Yangqing's shouting, and couldn't help but be attracted by her words, Li Yangqing said in his heart: "Compared with modern people, you are also worthy, and the marketing words will come as soon as you open your mouth, and you will have the ability to continue to sing against the stage." ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that the Li family was the first to sell fried skewers, and I heard from the people in our village who have eaten it that the taste is authentic, and our baby has been pestering me to buy it for them to eat when I was in the market." A chubby woman explained to the crowd around the stall that she had become a free sign, and some people saw that the woman was a repeat customer, and it seemed that it must have tasted good, so they followed suit and paid for it.

"Bring me two skewers of meat."

"I buy two pennies"

…… The customers gathered around the stall talked about their purchase requests one after another.

Li Qiu's family saw that there were still many people who recognized their own family, and finally showed a smile and greeted the guests happily, Li Yangqing observed the stall in front, and there were some people around them, it seems that the existence of the stall is bound to have an impact on their own business, and there is no way at present, so they can only wait for them to close the stall, and let the second brother secretly follow them to explore their bottom.

"Mother, I'm going to take a look at the stalls selling things in this market." Li Yangqing has been to the town a few times, and he hasn't carefully seen what stalls are in this market, so he wants to take a look around when he has time to see what kind of business there are and whether there are any new business opportunities.

"That's fine, but you can't go far, lest you run into a kidnapper, stay safe." Li Qiu's hands were busy, and he didn't forget to tell Li Yangqing.

"Mother, don't worry! I don't go far. After Li Yangqing finished speaking, he walked to the stall in front, and while walking, most of them were selling vegetables and food, and when he walked to the front, he saw that there were people selling livestock, chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and sheep, and when the family had money, he would buy a cow and go back to farming.

The market was about to come to an end, and I saw that there was a small alley separate from the market, and there were no people selling anything in it, and there were no people on the street, and I was a little curious, I don't know if it was a resident of the town.

"Little girl, that's not where you go, that's where people sell slaves, you go back to your family quickly, so as not to get lost." A kind-hearted old man who sells ducks saw Li Yangqing, a single little girl, walking around the market, so he kindly reminded him.

"Uncle, thank you for telling me, you are duck eggs, right?" Li Yangqing squatted down, pointed to the eggs in the basket in front of the old man and asked.

"Yes, I am a duck egg, but it has not been sold at a price, duck eggs are a little rougher than eggs, most people like to eat eggs, my family has raised a lot of ducks, and there are many duck eggs, so when selling ducks, by the way, sell duck eggs."

"Uncle, how much is your duck egg?" Li Yangqing took a duck egg and looked at it, and when he saw the duck egg, he remembered the salted duck egg, seeing that no one in this town had sold this, and he could make a lot of money when he went home and made salted duck eggs...... Hey, hey, hey, ....... ”

"Little girl, what are you laughing at? Are you going to buy it? My duck eggs are big, eggs cost two pennies a piece, and there are few people who buy duck eggs, so if you buy them, I will pay a penny, and I have a total of fifty duck eggs here. The old man shook his hand in front of Li Yangqing, who was smirking, and he didn't expect the little girl to really want to buy it, just to see the little girl cute and funny.

"Uncle, I want your basket, you wait for me, I'll ask my brother to buy it with money, my family is the Li fried skewers that set up a stall over there." Li Yangqing stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Li family's stall.

"Li's fried skewers, I know, my son went to your house to buy fried skewers some time ago, and he likes that flavor very much, go ahead! I'll wait for you. ”

Li Yangqing agreed with the old man, and quickly got up and ran in the direction of the stall at home, and ran a little panting when he got closer.

"What are you running in such a hurry?" Li Qiu took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the sweat on Li Yangqing's forehead.

"Mother, can you give me fifty wen? I'm useful, I want to buy the duck eggs of the old man in the stall in front of me, and I'm going to make some food with duck eggs. Li Yangqing observed the look on Li Qiu's face, for fear that Li Qiu's would not agree.

Li Qiushi pondered for a moment, thinking that Li Yangqing had a flexible brain, and the idea of setting up a stall at home was also come up with her, and the business was not as good as before because of imitation by people recently, if there is a new way to make money, you can try it, so she immediately took out her money bag and took out fifty Wen and handed it to Li Yangming, asking him to take Li Yangqing to buy it.

"Let's go! Third brother, just ahead. Seeing that Li Qiu took out the money, Li Yangqing hurriedly dragged Li Yangming's hand and ran to the old man, for fear that the duck eggs would run away, they were all eggs that could make money!

"Uncle, we are here, I didn't lie to you, you sold me this basket of duck eggs, we have a lot of people in our family, and we like to eat duck eggs."

"Do you really want it all? Okay, I'll give you this basket for free, do you want to count, it's fifty in total, a total of fifty dollars. The old man lifted the basket on the ground and handed it to Li Yangming.

"No need, uncle, we believe in you, this is fifty cents, you can take it." Li Yangming handed over fifty yuan to the old man, and the old man counted the points after accepting it.

"Uncle, where are you from? In the future, I want to eat duck eggs, and I will ask you to buy them. ”

"Little girl, thank you for taking care of my business today, I am Sun Zaota of Sunjia Village, and I basically come to the town to sell ducks and duck eggs once every seven days." The old man is very happy that this little customer can buy all his duck eggs at one time today, listening to the meaning of this little customer, he may come to buy duck eggs here in the future, the smile on his face can not be hidden, and his tone is full of joy.

"Thank you, uncle, let's go." Li Yangming carried a basket of duck eggs and pulled his sister to the stall at home.

"How many did you buy back? Yangqing, tell me quickly, what are you going to do with this duck egg? Li Qiu was both curious and a little uneasy.

"Mother, I'm going to make very delicious salted duck eggs, I'll tell you slowly when I go back! There are a lot of people on this street, and if people listen to the secret recipe, we will lose. "The secret recipe is the recipe to be secretly hidden, and if you know it, it is not a secret recipe.

After listening to Li Yangqing's explanation, Li Qiu's was not in a hurry, packed up the things on the stall, and then went to the grocery store to buy some things and prepared to go home.

Li Yangwu has been paying attention to the movement of the stall in front of him, and seeing that the other party has also packed up his things and is about to leave, Li Yangwu hurriedly said to his family: "You go back first, I'll follow them to see who made us worse." ”

"Okay, second brother, you have to pay attention to safety, don't be impulsive, just find out who it is, and we'll discuss countermeasures when we come back." Li Yangqing pulled Li Yangwu's body down and whispered in Li Yangwu's ear, and Li Yangwu secretly followed behind the two not far after hearing this.

Li Qiushi took Li Yangqing's brother and sister to the grocery store in front, and when they entered the shop, Li Qiu's went to the grain area to take a look, where there were rice, yellow millet, millet, wheat, soybean, and Shu millet, which were the main grains.

"Shopkeeper, what is the price of these grains?" Li Qiu looked at the shopkeeper next to him.

"Guest officer, one pound of rice Jiuwen, one pound of yellow millet eight wen, one pound of wheat eight wen, one pound of millet six wen, four pounds of Shu millet one catty, one pound of Shu Sanwen, what are you going to buy?"

Li Qiu pinched the money bag in his sleeve, "Then ten catties of millet, four catties of wheat, fifty catties of millet and four catties of salt." Li Qiu took out a few coarse sacks from the back basket.

"Okay! Guest officer, wait a minute, then use Hu to measure the quantity and load it for you. The shopkeeper picked up the grain next to him and put it in it, and helped put it in the back basket.

The shopkeeper calculated with an abacus at the counter, "Guest officer, a total of three hundred and seventy-two Wen, you are welcome to come again next time." The shopkeeper smiled and sent everyone out of the door.

It was already time to rush home, it was already dark, knocked on the courtyard door of the house, and saw that it was Li Wenshi who opened the door, his eyes were still a little swollen, and his face was a little tired.

"Sister-in-law, you're back, how are they in Wenshan?"

"Brother and sister Wenshan, they're okay now, you guys come in quickly." Li Wenshi closed the courtyard door and followed the others into the hall, and saw that the people in the house were sitting again with the work of setting up a stall tomorrow.

"Dad, today we saw the people who fought with us in the ring, and after the stall was closed, the second brother followed them to find out their bottom, I didn't see the second brother, is he still not back?" Li Yangming explained the reason why Li Yangwu did not come back with him.

"Not yet! Your second brother is also an adult, so you don't have to worry about his safety if you have strong fists and feet, maybe the road is too far, and it will be too late! Li Sun guessed.

"Today's business is better than yesterday, I estimate that there are more than 500 wen, I bought some grain, salt, duck eggs, plus fish money and boat fare, a total of 467 wen, I count how much more?" Li Qiu poured the money in the money bag on the table, and counted them carefully one by one, "There are still eighty-three wen left." ”

"Mother, just now Uncle Dao gave two catties of meat and pork ribs, and my father paid seventy-six wen, so I only earned seven wen today." Li Sun interjected.

"Second sister-in-law, today I bought a lot of grain can eat for a long time, I let my mother buy duck eggs is useful, look at the business is not as good as before, I went to the town today to see that there are cheap duck eggs, I sold fifty, ready to make salted duck eggs, salted duck eggs are delicious, with fresh, fine, tender, loose, sand, oil characteristics, delicate taste, salty and fresh, egg yolk red can produce oil,! The entrance is fresh and fragrant, and I think I can make more money than selling fried skewers. ”
