Chapter 48: Sold Out (2)
As the sun gradually rose, there were often small servants who slipped out of the big houses and ran to the stalls selling gadgets to pick and choose, thinking that they would bring some novelty to the little master of the family.
In addition to those little girls, there are idlers who walk around and tease birds, and there are old and young people. The little girls came out to hang around, and when they passed by, they bought Cai's buns here. When asked about the price, Chungui preemptively said three yuan for a steamed bun with sauerkraut and meat filling, and two yuan a brown sugar steamed bun.
Cai's face hesitated, for fear that it would be expensive, but he saw that although those people muttered, "It's more expensive than the one at the corner of the street", they also bought it after speaking.
Cai breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is more expensive, Cai's materials are sufficient, the brown sugar is put as if it doesn't cost money, and the bun fillings are full of mouthfuls.
That's how the business started.
Cai's smile was from ear to ear while collecting the money, and he smiled when he saw that Chun had returned here and had no business since Miss Guo.
She wiped the cage drawer and whispered, "Spring return, do you want to sell it cheaper?" ”
After those little guys bought steamed buns, they would also ask about the goat's milk in the spring, and they hesitated when they heard the ten cents. Chun Gui didn't force it, but only smiled lightly and returned the person.
This is open to do business without reducing prices or selling, Cai's heart was a little suspicious, so he said a few words.
Unexpectedly, Chungui still shook her head, she was not waiting for a maid, nor a little girl.
"This sister-in-law, how do you sell this bun?"
Seeing that business was coming again, Cai's hurriedly rushed to the front again.
Chungui turned his head to look at the three children behind him who were talking and playing, and stirred a few goat's milk unhurriedly.
After a while, Cai's two baskets of steamed buns were almost sold, a total of about 40 steamed buns, which sold for a hundred yuan. Cai's eyes turned red as he looked at the copper plates piled up in the bag.
This bun of brown sugar, semolina and sauerkraut are all homemade, she only spent less than 40 yuan to buy two catties of meat, and this morning she made a net profit of more than 70 yuan. If she embroidered a veil, she would have to embroider it for half a month.
If this bun is in a two-penny stall, I am afraid that it will not be sold for so much price, and Cai's heart admires Chungui.
It's just that her buns have been sold, but the goat's milk taro that returns in spring is still .........
But looking at the appearance of Chungui, it doesn't seem like he has no bottom in his heart, so Cai's put away the money bag and waited with Chungui.
I don't know when, those little maids dressed up have disappeared, the big families have come to buy seriously, and the idlers who come out to hang out every day have also come a lot.
Cai's glanced at Chun Gui and turned upright, pushing the taro and goat's milk closer.
Only then did Cai notice that most of the people on the street were rich and idlers, walking leisurely.
After a while, a young man with a fan of literati came over, and the fan in his hand was spread out, and it was a clump of green bamboo, and there was another poem next to it.
Zhiping had seen Chungui as a gentleman's fan, and when he saw this, his eyes rolled, and he leaned into the ears of Zhimin and Xiaobao and said it, his eyes were full of pride.
Chungui's eyes flashed, today is the day of the hospital examination, this person is holding a literati fan, but he is wandering on this street, either he has a reputation for showing off his talents or is an idle rich child.
She smiled and lifted the cotton cloth covering the taro, and looked at the barrel again: "This boy wants to taste the food that my family has passed down, goat's milk taro?" ”
He glanced at it, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Goat's milk and taro are eaten together?" It's fresh, bring me a bowl. ”
Chungui slowly opened the barrel, and the full fragrance of milk poured up, and the man sniffed and furrowed his brows. The people passing by also took a few more looks.
Someone smelled the smell and asked, "This girl, why is this goat's milk not fishy?" ”
Chungui loaded a bowl and handed it over, and said unhurriedly: "I used the family heirloom method to remove the fishy smell of this goat's milk, and the taro is also grown in our countryside, so the son can eat it with confidence." ”
The man with the gentleman's fan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then tasted it.
The people on the side were also attracted by this way of eating.
"I haven't seen it before, how does it taste? Bring me a bowl too. ”
I didn't say the price when I returned in the spring, and I put another bowl in the past.
After filling a serving, Chun Gui directly packed a few bowls and lined them up, and said with a light smile: "If you still want to take it yourself, you can do it, because it is my own method, and it is a little time-consuming to go to this fishy smell, and a price of ten yuan is set, please think about it before buying." ”
Anyway, the people here don't know how to taste it, and she can make up a family heirloom to raise the grade of goat's milk taro.
"Zhou Xiucai, how does this taste?"
A few people were curious about the taste, and when they saw that the two of them only tasted it and didn't speak, they hurriedly asked.
Chungui glanced at the man with the gentleman's fan, and he was really a showman, and he was still a rich showman when he looked at the way he was dressed.
That Zhou Xiucai finally turned his head when he heard this, and slowly scooped another spoonful into his mouth before saying, "Don't you know how it tastes?" ”
Cai's heart beat the drum when he heard it, this ten cents is a small share, won't these people just turn their heads and leave after hearing it.......
As soon as she thought about it, a circle of people around her suddenly took out copper plates one after another as if they had an epiphany.
"Come on, girl, bring me a bowl too."
That being said, I put the copper plate and took a copy and tasted it myself.
How did Cai know that these people all had a solid background, so why not buy a bowl of uneaten dessert for ten cents.
The bowls in front of the stall were quickly taken out, and Chungui hurriedly filled a few more portions, but the bowls that could be brought were limited, and they were soon empty, but half of the goat's milk and a few pieces of taro were left.
The copper plate also received nearly 200 wen.
This piece has eaten good things, but this goat's milk taro is the first time to eat, early in the morning to taste a taste, the heart is also comfortable, after eating one will reach out to the second portion, spring return also to add. It didn't take long for the taro to be gone, but there was still some goat's milk left.
When the slow eater came up to ask for a second portion, he saw that the girl had already covered the barrel in front of the stall and was making a gesture to close the stall.
"Hey, girl, why don't you do business?"
Chungui said with a smile: "The taro is gone, and my goat's milk is also redundant, if you still want to drink it, wait for tomorrow." ”
After saying that, she put away all the copper plates and swept them into the money bag that had been prepared.
She smiled and continued: "Thank you, in the future, our sisters will still set up stalls here, and my sister's hand will be done early, but you are late, and it has already been sold out today." I'm going to have some fresh snacks here in the future, so please cheer you on! ”
Everyone was sorry and could only put the bowl back.
Chun Gui just picked up the barrel. A pair of hands rested on top of the barrel.
When he returned to spring, he was surprised, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhou Xiucai: "Zhou Gongzi? ”
Zhou Xiucai nodded and smiled, and took his hand back: "Girl, how about selling me this goat milk?" ”
Chungui was stunned: "Gongzi Zhou, I don't have taro here." ”
Zhou Xiucai looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter, I will also charge the remaining goat milk for ten cents per spoonful." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people next to him laughed.
"Zhou Xiucai, this is for your teacher again!"
"Definitely! Since these two masters and apprentices came here a few years ago, Zhou Xiucai had to dig it back when he touched a fresh wild vegetable. ”
For this ridicule, Zhou Xiucai waved his hand again and again, full of helplessness:
"Hey, my teacher recently taught a demon king of the mixed world, and he is tired every day, this goat's milk is fresh, maybe it can make my teacher appetizing."
After these words fell, a trace of thought flashed in Chungui's mind for no reason, but he couldn't catch it, and after thinking about it, he put it down without thinking.
The business sent to the door is not done in vain, and Chungui only said: "Then you still need to bring a utensil." ”
And that Zhou Xiucai said very arrogantly: "I'll spend another ten cents to buy your wooden barrel!" ”
He said this, there was no more hesitation in the spring return, and he directly handed over the goat milk bucket, and Zhou Xiucai sent a full hundred wen.
The rest of the people have also decided to return tomorrow with the spring return, but the utensils can be brought by themselves.
This lively scene was also something that Chungui himself could not have expected.
After the others dispersed, there were people coming and going on the street again, and the stalls of Chungui and Cai's were already empty, and there was nothing left.
Chun Gui did some calculations, this trip is enough to have 300 Wen income, according to this level, you can earn back the money for buying sheep in four or five days.
Tomorrow, Qi Xiucai will be able to teach normally, and she and Cai's will no longer have to bring their children over.
She breathed a sigh of relief, it was much easier to make money in this rich haunted area, and this step was not wrong.
Chungui focused on the business with everyone, but he didn't notice that the Cai family on the side had already been stunned.
She was surprised that she sold these two baskets of steamed buns for 100 yuan, and the half bucket of goat's milk in Chungui, the taro that didn't need money was sold for more than 300 yuan, how could the money of the people in this town be so easy to earn!
Chungui checked the money bag, looked at the three children hidden behind him and carefully did not dare to disturb her and Cai's, thought about it, and beckoned to a few of them.
When the three children saw that the crowd had dispersed, they all stepped forward.
Chun Gui looked at the three well-behaved and sensible faces, thought about it and pointed to the stall selling gadgets on the side: "Zhiping Zhimin and Xiaobao, go there and pick a favorite thing, sister-in-law will buy it!" ”
After Cai's reaction, Xiaobao couldn't help it, and was pulled by Zhiping Zhimin to the stall, she was anxious and helpless: "You say that I am stunned, and you will be in trouble!" ”
"If you really want to buy it, don't you buy it for Zhiping Zhimin, and bring Xiaobao."
Chun Gui had long been accustomed to Cai's chattering appearance, and only a few words of appeasement were used to clean up the stall together.
The three children each picked a gadget, and Chun Gui paid a full sixty copper plates, and Cai's chattered again.
The list will be released at noon, and if Zhixing and Qi You are on the list, they will live in the county school today, and Li Zhicun will also come over at noon and send them home first.
Because it was the beginning of spring, the weather was still very cold, and there were no people on the streets near noon.
Chun Gui saw that the sun was almost up, so he got up and said, "Sister Cai, I'll take a look at the list first, and if Brother Li comes over in advance, let him wait for me." ”
After speaking, she was about to walk forward, but she didn't want to take a few steps, but Li Zhicun drove a donkey cart over from the front.
There was a happy look on his face.
Chungui's eyelids jumped, and his heart suddenly rose, and he saw Li Zhicun getting down from the donkey cart with a smile: "Chungui girl!" Zhixing and Qi You both entered the first test, and they both lived in the county school today! ”
Although she knew Zhixing and Qi You's knowledge, she still had to hear the good news to feel at ease.
Chun Gui hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Li!" ”
The three children behind him were all smiling, and they had been in private school for half a month, and Zhiping, who was the youngest, knew what this school test meant to the two brothers.
Chungui exhaled and smiled and took Zhimin Zhiping's hand. If there is no mistake in the retest, it is just a matter of before and after the ranking.
"Hey! Thank me for what I did, I just went to take a look, and in that case I will send you back first! ”
Li Zhicunhan smiled and took the cage drawer in Cai's hand, put it on the donkey cart familiarly, and then hugged Xiaobao and Zhiping, and Zhimin stepped on the small stool and went up.
got into the donkey cart, Chun Gui suddenly said: "Brother Li, sister-in-law Cai, don't let this news out yet, everyone will know when the sun sets tomorrow." ”
Cai wrapped a few children in small mattresses, and laughed at her: "Look at your careful appearance, the good news must be hidden." ”
Chungui replied with a smile: "Then Sister Cai won't let the villagers know how much money you earned today?" ”
Cai immediately glanced at her, holding the money bag and stopped talking.
After being tired for a long time, there was finally a harvest at both ends, and Chungui hugged Zhimin and thought carefully about finding more taro seeds, just like sweet potatoes and planting two fields.
It's just that the land in front of this yard is no longer enough, so I told Father Li and Chen Shi to see if I could leave a small piece of seed on the ridge.
A few days after the new year, many families were ploughing in advance, and the planting season soon came.
There is also this donkey cart, which is owned by Village Chief Liu, and it is okay to borrow it once or twice, but it is not possible to borrow it every day. She also had to think about how to make things easier.
Chun Gui thought about it a few times, but her eyelids were beating wildly, she rubbed her eyes, didn't think much about it, and leaned aside to close her eyes and rest.
And Xiaoliangshan has already made a fuss.
