Chapter 36: Shunfangzhai Rivals Gather
Pearl wanted to go back, so Liuli filled some canned food: "I'll send it to you, and by the way, bring some canned food to the second elder of the Shi family." ”
"It's fine."
The two sisters were talking and went to Shi's house, but they met Li Shi holding their son at the door, still holding a clay pot in their arms.
Pearl called out "Second Sister-in-law", and Li glanced at them, snorted and stepped into the door first.
Liuli looked at the plum blossom silver hairpin on her head and became angry, and wanted to step forward to say a few words, but Pearl took her hand, shook her head with a smile, and followed into the door.
At this time, most of the men of the Shi family have gone to work outside, and the sister-in-law of the Shi family, Zhao, is busy in the kitchen, and the old lady sees the second daughter-in-law and says: "I have a body and go to the town to go around, don't go back to rest soon." ”
Seeing the pearl who came in with him, he wanted to ask her to help in the kitchen, but he caught a glimpse of the jar that Liuli was holding in his hand behind him, and thought it was the canned orange, so he held back the conversation.
Liuli has the ability to see, and when she saw that Mrs. Shi's eyes were looking this way, she stepped forward with a smile: "I brought canned oranges today, and I made them newly, you can taste them." ”
"Hey," the old lady smiled, "I was thinking about this smell, and you came." ”
Pearl took the spoon and gave it to her mother-in-law, and the old lady took it with a smile, and just as she was about to eat, she heard Li say in a loud voice: "Mother, why don't you taste what I bought first." ”
Saying that, he stepped forward and opened the clay pot in his arms, Liuli smelled a familiar smell of sweet oranges, but the old lady saw it first, and said in surprise: "It's also canned oranges?" ”
Li was very proud: "Exactly, today I went to the town, saw a canned food seller, and thought that my mother loved to eat, so I bought it." ”
"Isn't this can made of my glass? Why is it sold in the town? Before the old lady could speak, Pearl asked strangely.
Liuli has a bad premonition.
Sure enough, I heard Li Shi say very proudly: "Not only canned oranges, but even the rock sugar gourd is also a penny a string, this is something sold by Shunfangzhai, I don't know how much better it is than someone makes it, mother try it." ”
It's Shun Fang Zhai again.
Although Liuli had a faint premonition, she couldn't help but be angry when she heard the name.
The old lady over there was in high spirits, took a spoon and scooped it down, savored it, and Li asked expectantly, "What does Mother think?" ”
The old lady nodded: "Not bad." ”
Li was even more proud, and glanced at the Pearl sisters condescendingly.
How can Liuli have the heart to be angry with her now, no need to ask to know that this Shunfang Zhai must be a repeat of the old trick, learn her practice, and then suppress her with the price.
Pearl was also surprised, she just knew that Shunfangzhai also sold rock sugar gourds, and it was strange that Liuli didn't sell rock sugar gourds these days.
Liuli got up to say goodbye, and Pearl sent people to the gate, worried: "How can this be good, how can Shun Fangzhai also make rock sugar gourds and canned food?" ”
"Big sister don't worry, these two eating methods are simple, even if they see that the way is imitated, it is possible. There was still a lot of fresh food in my dream, so I didn't believe that Shun Fangzhai could learn it. ”
"Really? Do you have a way to deal with it? ”
"Really. When I go back and do some research, big sister should go back quickly. Ruri pushed Pearl back into the door and went home by herself.
In the back room, the old lady saw Pearl coming back, and raised her eyelids: "Go to the kitchen to help your sister-in-law prepare meals, and run outside all day long, and I don't know how busy I am at home." ”
"Yes, Mother." Pearl answered and went to the kitchen.
The old lady saw that the people were far away, and said to the Li family again: "I'm afraid that the canned oranges in Shunfangzhai will cost a lot of money, right?" "She knows that a small bowl of canned food from the second girl of the Song family will be sold for five cents.
"It's not expensive, 4 yuan a bowl." Li replied with a smile.
The corner of the old lady's eyes jumped, 4 yuan is not expensive? How much does your own tofu sell, can you afford such a big deal as your second daughter-in-law?
However, glancing at Li's belly, which was not yet pregnant, the old lady still suppressed her anger and said as calmly as possible: "4 Wen is a lot of money, don't buy it next time, there are Song family girls who often send it, and the taste is no worse than Shun Fangzhai's, why spend that unjust money." ”
Li's belly slandered her mother-in-law for being stingy, but her mouth was very respectful: "Yes, mother, daughter-in-law has written it down." ”
"Well, let's go back and rest, people who have bodies are still running around."
"Hey." Li Shi replied and went back to the room, but he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, since Song Liuli's girl made some rock sugar gourd, and won the favor of the old lady, then Song Pearl was going to climb to her own head, fortunately, she was angry in her stomach, and this time she saw Shun Fangzhai also selling the same food, and everything was cheaper than the girl of the Song family, see how she can continue to do this business!
The business of Liuli is to be done, but these two things have been imitated by Shun Fangzhai in the doorway, and Liuli does not plan to sell these two things again.
In fact, as early as after the appearance of Shunfangzhai's rock sugar gourd, Liuli thought about making something slightly complicated, and it would not be easily seen through by others.
It's just that the weather is cold, just in time to buy canned oranges, and then I'm busy with Amber's schooling, and now I can finally think about thinking about a new business.
The next day, Liuli went to Xingping Town again.
If you want to start a new business, you need to prepare relevant materials. In addition, she was also curious about Shunfangzhai's canned food business and intended to take a look.
Xingping Town was as lively as ever, and Liuli entered the city and went straight to Shunfangzhai.
There were quite a few guests coming in and out, but I didn't see the two guys holding sugar gourds in front of the door.
Liuli entered the door, and saw all kinds of snacks and food on the counters on both sides, the most conspicuous being the rock sugar gourd and canned fruit.
In addition to oranges and pears, Liuli also saw a few cans made of other fruits, which were placed in delicate crystal cups, which looked very good.
This is where Shun Fangzhai is stronger than Liuli, people have a wide range of purchase channels, and they can get fruits that Liuli can't get, and the packaging is also a higher grade, which is obviously not comparable to her, a mobile small trader.
"The little lady likes this can? What kind of flavor do you like? When the man saw that she was looking closely, he went up and greeted her.
"I'll take a look first, you can go and greet the guests next to you." Ruri didn't plan to buy it.
As soon as the guy heard this, he stopped pestering, and just at the door, two more women came in, one in front of the other, and the one in the lead was even better dressed, and the man hurriedly greeted him: "Hello two ladies, but do you want to buy snacks?" ”
"Naturally", the woman in the Chinese clothes at the head nodded, "I heard that Shunfangzhai has recently released a new canned fruit, which is very delicious. ”
"Exactly, the two of you, please, our Shunfangzhai canned food is the only one in the entire Xingping Town, not only tastes good, but also has a wide variety, you two take a look."
"If it's not delicious, I won't pay for it." The woman at the back seemed to be in a bad mood, and choked Xiao Er.
Liuli listened to the voice a little familiar, and turned her head to see that this was not the mean aunt Zhang Cui.
I only heard Zhang Cui take the hand of the woman in Huayi in front of her and say: "Sister-in-law, I look at this canned fruit and it looks better, I don't know how it tastes, and it is so expensive, why don't we go and buy some eight treasures of sweet branding for my nephew to eat." ”
The woman in Huayi, who was called sister-in-law, glanced at her impatiently: "My peach is the only one who loves to eat this canned food, isn't my sister reluctant?" ”
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, how can I be." Zhang accompanied the smiling face, and then asked the guy: "What is the price of this can?" ”
"Canned oranges and pears cost 4 yuan a bowl, and the fruit next to it costs 6 yuan." The guy hurriedly replied.
Liuli is funny in her heart, she only has canned oranges and pears here, Shun Fangzhai is cheaper than her in these two things, and the rest of the canned fruits that she doesn't have are more expensive, this Shun Fangzhai is really a good calculation.
"Just a bowl of canned oranges." Zhang Cui said with a painful face, there is no way, who told her to fall in love with the eldest brother's daughter Zhang Taoer as a daughter-in-law, so she had to please her sister-in-law.
"Another bowl of grapes." The woman in Chinese clothes interjected.
"This ......" Zhang Cui wanted to say something, but finally held back, the eldest brother is quite wealthy, thinking about the dowry that Tao'er can bring after marrying in the future, she also gritted her teeth.
"Okay!" The man quickly packed the two cans and handed them to the guest, "Fourteen Wen." ”
Zhang Cui's face changed: "Two cans are obviously ten yuan, how can you ask for fourteen yuan?" Are you looking at me? ”
"You can misunderstand, the guests need to provide clay pots for take-out shops, each clay pot costs two cents, and the guests run out ......"
"What golden clay pot? It's so much for two pennies! Before the guy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Cui's exclamation.
The woman in Huayi glanced at her with disgust, and the man patiently explained with the disdain in his heart: "The guest returns the clay pot after use, and the money can be returned." ”
"Poof." Liuli couldn't help but sneer, Shun Fangzhai really copied it all, not only copying her canned food, but also learning this packaging method.
Although the voice was not loud, it made Zhang Cui listen to it, she thought who was laughing at herself, turned her head fiercely, and saw that it was Song Liuli who was immediately stunned, it was actually the appearance of a girl who had been in Liuli for half a year, she was well fed and warmly dressed, and she was no longer like the yellow-haired girl she used to be, Zhang Cui didn't recognize it for a while.
As soon as she was stunned, she reacted and said viciously to Liuli: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Liuliben laughed at Shun Fangzhai's "take-it-ism", and when she heard her question, she said: "I don't know how this clay pot is compared to a broken bowl?" A few broken bowls at my aunt's house can cost 500 yuan, and I think this clay pot is cheap for two cents. ”
"What kind of broken bowl costs 500 yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, did my aunt forget? My coral broke a few of your broken bowls, and my aunt opened her mouth for 500 yuan. Then again, a few dishes at my aunt's house are worth 500 yuan, so how can I care about these small sums at the moment? ”
"You ......" Zhang Cui pointed at Liuli and was speechless.
She was still hot when the girl made a rock sugar gourd, but soon Shun Fangzhai also began to sell, so that she secretly laughed several times, thinking about when she saw it in front of her, and she didn't think that goodbye was today's scene.
If it weren't for the fact that her sister-in-law was by her side, she would have gone to tear the girl's mouth in the morning.
"Alas," Liuli sighed softly, "I also know that my aunt is diligent and thrifty, and she has always been reluctant to spend on food, and our sister and brother were coarse porridge and wild vegetables every day, and I don't know if my cousin will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and my aunt will treat her daughter-in-law like this." ”
"Your house is actually coarse porridge and wild vegetables every day?" The woman in Huayi turned to Zhang Cui with a look of disbelief.
Her daughter grew up with a thousand pets, and if she got married, she would have to live such a life, and she would not say anything to her mother.
Zhang Cui was anxious: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to her, that girl is a mourning star, only eats and drinks and doesn't work cheap meat." ”
The woman in Chinese clothes was even more unhappy when she heard her words: "Work? If she really marries her peach, will she have to do farm work every day? ”
"How can that? If Tao'er marries, I will treat her well", Zhang Cui explained in a hurry, and quickly took the money to the man, took two bowls of canned food and hugged the woman in Huayi and walked out: "Didn't my sister-in-law say that she still wants to see the material?" I'll accompany my sister-in-law to see if there is a suitable ...... for Tao'er and niece."
The two walked out as they talked, Liuli turned around leisurely, and was about to leave, but after a glance, he saw a slightly familiar figure, a middle-aged man with a big belly, who bought her canned food at the market that day and asked questions.
