Chapter 23: Frustration
At first, Zhao refused to eat, and only said that he would just eat some cold buns with cold water. However, he couldn't stand Lin Jiu's persuasion. Moreover, she doesn't eat it, and Lin Jiu doesn't eat it either.
In the end, the mother and son boiled water in a newly bought casserole. Eating fragrant buns and drinking hot water, not to mention how satisfying it is.
"How's that, mother. My daughter didn't treat you badly. Lin Jiu looked proud.
Zhao smiled and didn't speak, and the night covered the worry in her eyes. She knew that her daughter had used the silver given by Chu Linghui to buy something. But how long will the money last? Seeing that winter is coming, their mother and daughter don't even have a single tile on their heads, how can they survive this day.
Lin Jiu didn't think so much, after she ate and drank, she climbed into the tent and slept comfortably. Early the next morning, she took out the medicinal herbs she had bought yesterday from the space, as well as a small stone mill she had saved. First boiled medicine for Zhao's family, and started to make thirteen incense by himself.
Zhao woke up to the sound of the stone mill and the fragrance of the medicine, she cleaned herself up briefly, poked her head out of the tent and asked, "Jiu'er, what are you doing early in the morning?" ”
"I'm getting ready to make money." Lin Jiu's voice sounded pleasant and relaxed.
The material is divided in proportion and ground into powder in a stone mill. Take out the oiled paper you bought yesterday and wrap them separately, and put them in a bamboo basket one by one. After a while, the bamboo basket was filled.
"Mother, your medicine is ready. I took the medicine first, I made boiling water, and soaked some steamed buns in hot water for a while. I'm going to town to earn money. ”
Is it that easy to make money? Zhao looked at his daughter suspiciously.
Lin Jiu's confident appearance made her unbearable to pour cold water, but maybe after touching the nail a few times, she would know the hardships of life, and she would agree to return to the Lin family. Zhao sighed silently and climbed out of the tent to wash by the stream.
Lin Jiu packed up the bamboo basket, soaked a bowl of steamed buns in hot water, and ate breakfast with the pickles sent by He Erniu. Seeing that Zhao was back, she stood up and said, "Mother, I'm leaving." Let's make do with breakfast, my daughter has earned money and will come back to buy you something delicious. ”
"Hey, be careful on the road." Zhao did not persuade again, but watched his daughter walk out of the woods with worry.
Coming to the town with a light car, the market was already lively, and most of the place was already occupied. Lin Jiu walked back and forth a few times before finding a corner and stopping.
She took off the bamboo basket and put it on the ground, and placed a packet of thirteen incense on the top, and shouted.
"Come and see, the latest seasonings, stewed meat and stuffing can be used. With my seasoning, the dishes are the same as those in the restaurant. ”
Not to mention, Lin Jiu's shouting is still very similar. After a while, several people couldn't suppress their curiosity and ran to see what it was.
It's a pity that there are people who watch it, but there is no one who pays for it.
Lin Jiu drank for a long time, his throat was dry, and he didn't sell a single pack of seasonings.
What's going on? She wondered in her heart, these people were obviously very interested, holding her spices and smelling and watching. But as soon as they were asked to pay for it, they ran faster than rabbits.
Could it be that I did it myself? Picking up the sample and smelling it, Lin Jiu shook his head, no, it's just the smell, it won't be wrong.
So why doesn't anyone buy it? Is it because the people in these small places don't know the goods? Lin Jiu was puzzled.
"Sister Jiu'er." Just as Lin Jiu was wondering, a voice sounded. She turned her head and saw that it was not He Erniu.
"Brother Erniu, are you coming to town too?"
"Well, I sell the eggs my mother saved. What are you doing here? He Erniu looked at the bamboo basket in front of Lin Jiu with a curious expression.
"I'm here to sell seasonings. But I don't know why, no one buys it. She scratched her head, a little embarrassed.
"Can I take a look?" He Erniu reached out and picked up the thirteen incense used for the sample, "What is this, what is the use?" ”
"It's an all-purpose seasoning, whether it's stewed meat, stir-frying, or stuffing, you can put it. With it, the taste of the dishes will be greatly improved, and even ordinary people can make restaurant-level dishes. It may be that he is used to shouting, and in the face of He Erniu, Lin Jiu did not forget to sell.
"So amazing?" He Erniu's eyes widened in surprise. Carefully put his nose in front of the paper bag and sniffed it, then picked up a little powder and looked at it carefully.
"Well, it's a good thing." Lin Jiu looked at He Erniu with blank eyes, waiting for his affirmation.
He Erniu was a little hesitant, not knowing if he should tell the truth.
"Sister Jiu'er, this thing ......"
"What's wrong? You tell me straight, I don't care. Lin Jiu also wanted to know why no one paid for it.
"You say this thing so well, but no one has used it, and I don't know how effective it is. Besides, it smells like medicine, so how can it have anything to do with seasonings? ”
It turns out that this is the case, these people have never seen the thirteen incense, and they don't dare to try it. What can she do, how can she prove that her things are good.
"Well, I know the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Let's leave him a small packet to try, and if he uses it well, won't he be willing to spend money to buy it? He Erniu pondered and thought hard about finding a way for Lin Jiu.
"That's great, thank you, Brother Erniu." This brother screamed sincerely. If it weren't for He Erniu, she wouldn't know what was going on.
He Erniu often sends mountain goods to the restaurants in the town, and the shopkeeper is an acquaintance. Under his recommendation, Lin Jiu left thirteen incense sticks for both restaurants, and briefly explained the usage.
Although the two shopkeepers are skeptical, since it is a trial product and does not cost money, there is no harm in trying it.
On the way home, Lin Jiu was still worried. The restaurant doesn't know when it will be able to reply, how can it make ordinary people accept her seasoning.
As she walked, her eyes lit up. By the way, didn't He Erniu say it, because everyone didn't believe in the effect of the seasoning, so they didn't dare to buy it. But if they try it for themselves, will they be able to open up sales?
Just like in the previous life, when there was a mall promotion, there would always be some samples prepared.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu turned his feet and ran directly to the back mountain. This time, she was not polite. I hunted two pheasants and two rabbits, picked some mushrooms and put them in the basket, and went back to the woods.
"Mother, look what I brought back." Far away, Lin Jiu shouted.
Zhao came out of the tent and saw the prey in his daughter's hand at a glance, and said with surprise and joy: "Oh my God, where did you get so much game?" ”
"Good luck, hit." This time, Lin Jiu didn't say that he picked it up. Because she knew it, and her mother wouldn't believe it. What a stroke of luck to be able to pick up so many prey at once.
If that's the case, what kind of work do you do, you can feed yourself by going out to pick up prey every day.
