Chapter Seventy-One: Destroying Business
Qin Rong glanced at Pei Chenzhou's departing figure, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
Seeing that the people had left, Wan Shi chased after him, and with the little change he had left, he bought twelve meat buns at a nearby stall, and each person stuffed four.
The men helped them carry the goods, and they had to rush back to pick up the stones, so they couldn't let them go back with their stomachs empty.
Qin Rong lit a fire, set up a pot, set up the chili dipping sauce prepared at home, and waited for the water to boil.
After a while, the number of people on the street gradually increased.
The money in her pocket bought the dog last time, minus forty wen, and three hundred and fifty-three wen, and gave all three hundred wen to Wan's disposal, and she left a little bit of it.
Linghua's stall is next to it, and there is only a basket of Houttuynia cordata, all tied into small bundles, a bundle of three cents.
Xiaoli and Xiaokui also followed, the two babies haven't been on the street for a long time, jumping around to play, but they also follow Linghua's instructions and can't leave their mother's sight.
Linghua touched her pocket, only fifty yuan, and she had to buy rice and noodles, glanced at the two children, and saw that they were watching the children passing by gnawing on meat buns, and soon pretended to be nothing, and her eyes couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Xiaoli Xiaokui came to my sister's place." Qin Rong greeted with a smile.
The two children came running, thinking that Qin Rong wanted them to help.
Qin Rong handed them thirteen yuan, "This is the hard-earned money you usually use to help your sister, and use it to buy candy and snacks." ”
Xiao Li looked at Linghua.
Linghua was taken aback, "Rong girl, it's not easy for you to make money, how can you give so much to the two hairy children?" Hurry up and put it away, this money is enough to eat a meal of rice. ”
A pound of rice is ten cents, how can it be given to children?
Qin Rong shook his head and said, "Third aunt, when this little fish is sold, I should be able to earn a lot of silver, this is a small amount of money, don't worry about this." ”
said, insisting on stuffing the copper plate into Xiaoli's hand, "The children are all on the street, how can I do without change?" ”
Linghua sighed, after all, her family is too poor, otherwise, who doesn't want to see their children happily buy candy?
At this time, Wan Shi came back, carrying a bag of buns, two for adults and children, and three for Qin Rong.
Linghua was even more reluctant to go, the candy money for the child earlier was all from Qin Rong and her mother, she gritted her teeth and took out the money she was going to buy noodles, and took out ten yuan to Qin Rong.
Qin Rong said that he didn't want anything, and Linghua put it in his pocket again with tears.
After eating breakfast, Xiaoli and Xiaokui ran to the candy stall not far away, with big eyes and curiosity, watching the stall owner blow out different shapes of sugar figures.
"There are so many fish today, I don't think you can sell them all." Xiao Tian's gloating tone sounded in his mind.
"Who knows, if it doesn't get to the end?" Qin Rong snorted.
"Twenty points are sold out, thirty points will be deducted if you can't sell them out, master, you are still minus 100 points now, you have to come on."
Another temporary task, Qin Rong pursed her lips, but she took this challenge.
When the patron on the street saw Qin Rong, his eyes lit up, "Girl, I was looking for you to buy fish, your fish is delicious and authentic, much better than domestic fish, I want five catties of sea bass, five catties of mandarin fish." ”
"Okay, weigh it right away." Qin Rong weighed the perch, "Five catties and two taels, count five catties." He also weighed the mandarin fish, "Five catties and six taels, do you want to count five catties and five?" ”
This customer should have a bit of a foundation in his clothes, carrying the chicken and pork bought from other stalls in his hand, and he didn't care about a few taels of extra money, and waved his hand generously, "Yes, don't you lose money?" ”
Perch and mandarin fish are a little more expensive, eighteen wen a catty, ten catties and five taels, counting one hundred and eighty-nine wen, Qin Rong asked for one penny, a good fortune, the smile on the other party's face was one more point, and he happily gave the money, but his eyes fell on the root of the basket and he was stunned for a moment.
"Girl, this Houttuynia cordata is sold to people to feed pigs?"
Houttuynia cordata is very fishy, pigs don't like to eat it, it's very bad when cooked, and pigs don't like it, but I didn't expect that this shrewd girl would actually put it out for sale?
"Houttuynia cordata actually tastes very good, but people don't grasp the square inch of cooking, so they don't think it's delicious."
Qin Rong said, put a handful of specially washed and reserved into boiling water, and took it out in less than half a minute, "You taste it, it is stained with chili pepper seasoning." ”
The man picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in the spice and tasted them in disbelief, his eyes lit up, "It's strong, it's indescribably delicious, girl, bring me ten, how much is a handful?" ”
"Sanwen."
The other party counted thirty Wen to her, carried two fish, and ten folded ear roots, and left happily.
Other people who bought fish saw that someone actually bought Houttuynia cordata, and they also tasted it curiously, except for those who really didn't like the taste of Houttuynia cordata, most of them bought it with Houttuynia cordata, Qin Rong also specially told them the cooking time, and also told them the method of cold dressing.
Houttuynia cordata is everywhere, after selling it this time, people in the village will come to sell it, and she won't have to sell it in the future, so it's better to save favors.
Her stall was crowded here, and the people who bought Houttuynia cordata took a part to Linghua, and soon half of Linghua's basket of Houttuynia cordata was sold.
Zheng and Zhou each carried a back basket to the tile market to buy it, but in fact, they couldn't buy two back baskets at all, but they didn't want one to carry the back basket and the other to be idle, so they simply asked for one for each person.
Seeing that the business in front of Qin Rong's stall was so good, jealousy rose in the eyes of the two, and they also noticed that those customers not only bought fish, but also bought Houttuynia cordata, what was going on, were they all crazy? Buy something that pigs don't eat.
The two of them came over to take a look, only to see that Qin Rong put Houttuynia cordata in the pot and passed the time of baking half of the dough cake, so he scooped it up and gave it to the customer to taste, while saying, "The cooking time is only for a short time, otherwise it won't be delicious." ”
When customers tasted it, they all praised it.
"If it weren't for your reminder, we would have missed such a delicacy for the rest of our lives."
Zheng and Zhou don't believe in this evil, but the Houttuynia cordata that Qin Huan found last time was indeed boiled, is the problem really in time, the two also rushed to dip it in the spice and tasted it, and their eyes widened all of a sudden.
It's delicious, it's not ordinary, it's better than most wild vegetables, it's as delicious as wild onions.
Zheng couldn't help it, and scolded Qin Rong, "Dead girl, you have eaten Houttuynia cordata for so long under our noses, and deliberately didn't say anything about the cooking time, so that the old Qin family missed this dish in vain, I think you did it on purpose." ”
"You white-eyed wolf, not only do you hide and tuck delicious food, but you don't even want to explain the practice of Houttuynia cordata, so many Houttuynia cordata in the field, can your mother and daughter eat it? Why did the old Qin family raise you with no conscience? Zhou also scolded.
The guests looked confused, who are these two people, why did they suddenly appear to sprinkle? However, they frowned, clearly disliking the way the two of them behaved.
"Don't buy this dead girl's fish, she knew how to make money and set up her own door, and kicked the old Qin family who gave birth to her, even her own father didn't care, for fear that the old Qin family would take a little advantage from her, the fields were full of Houttuynia cordata, and she refused to tell the cooking time, so she didn't want the old Qin family to live better, this kind of dead girl with no conscience, maybe in order to make a few more black money, she will also use her hands and feet in the fish, do you dare to eat it with confidence?"
Zheng sneered, taking this opportunity to ruin the reputation of the dead girl, and see how she will sell fish in the future.
When she said this, the effect was obvious, and the eyes of those customers looking at Qin Rong were full of doubts.
"Sister-in-law of the Qin family, what are you talking about, what is wrong with your old Qin family, you can just catch a villager and ask about it." Linghua couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak for Qin Rong.
Saying this has no effect, Qin Rong said unhurriedly, "Do you know how old I am this year?" ”
The customer didn't know why she asked like this, some people guessed that she was eight years old, and some people said that she was nine years old, and such a young girl, at most nine years old, would not be more.
Qin Rong shook his head, "I'm almost fourteen years old. ”
Everyone who listened was surprised, fourteen years old, isn't that the age when you are about to get married? It's impossible.
"I can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes in Lao Qin, so I haven't grown a body." Qin Rong rolled up the sleeves of his arms, and saw that on his skinny arms, there were old scars, piled up together, "My mother passed away a few years ago, anyone in the old Qin family can beat me, these injuries will disappear in at least a year or two, I just want to live, so I left the old Qin family, and it was only after leaving the old Qin family that I found a way to make money, maybe God took pity on me, did I do something wrong?" ”
The customers are indignant one by one, treating a girl like this, not a person, and actually having the face to destroy the business?
"Get out, get out, don't get in the way we buy fish."
"We see this girl's conscience, and you two are the blackest people."
"The girl did the right thing, continue to stay in the original home, maybe her life will be gone."
Qin Rong continued, "And Houttuynia cordata, it's not that I didn't tell you the cooking time, not only did you not ask, but you also laughed at the pig beggar to eat, where did I have the opportunity to tell you." ”
What beggars eat, doesn't this scold everyone who buys Houttuynia cordata?
The faces of the customers were even more angry, these two country women, really lawless, "Let's go, don't go, throw you out of town." ”
