Chapter 16: The first test of the waters is bleak
Houpo Village is located between Dawan Village and Xingping Town, and compared to Dawan Village, people here are obviously more affluent, one of the reasons is that it is close to the official road.
The bazaar is not big, but it is not small. From the west end of the village to the west of the official road stretching for more than a mile, the westernmost place close to the official road, the location is the most sought-after.
Not for anything else, just because there are caravans and carriages passing by on the official road from time to time, and if you meet the rich, you can get a lot of rewards, of course, this is something that can be met but not sought.
Liuli came not early or late, and found a spacious place to set up a stall.
Gradually, there were more and more hawkers, some carrying pheasants and rabbits that had just been beaten down, some pushing carts to sell some cloth and clothes, and some carrying goods to sell some incense powder head ropes and other gadgets.
Amber and Coral couldn't take their eyes off it, and Liuli smiled and said to the two: "When our sugar gourds are sold out in the afternoon, let's go to those stalls and have a look, okay?" ”
The two cheered in response.
However, although there were many people in the market, few of them came to Liuli's side. Seeing that it was noon, they didn't even sell a bunch of sugar gourds.
Most of the adults who came to catch the market, saw Liuli a yellow-haired girl with two small beans set up a stall, the first impression was unreliable, and even asked where the stall owner went, after Liuli said that he was the stall owner, the person didn't ask the price, shook his head and left.
The teacher is not good, Liuli can't, but her stomach growls: "Let's eat first." ”
The three of them took a sticky bean bun and squatted on the side of the road to nibble on it.
"What do you eat?" Suddenly, there was a question from my head.
Liuli looked up and saw a woman dressed as a woman, staring curiously at the sticky bean buns they were eating.
Liuli hurriedly stood up, raised the sticky bean bag in his hand and said, "You mean this?" It's called sticky bean buns, and I make them myself. ”
"I look inside like red beans have been ground." The woman said, "But you sell it?" What is the price? ”
"This is the dry food of my sister and brother, not for sale", Liuli explained, taking the opportunity to promote her own goods, "This rock sugar gourd is sweet and sour, can the lady buy a bunch to taste?" ”
"Rock sugar gourd?" The woman picked up a bunch and looked at it, "Isn't this the wild fruit that is common in the mountains?" I remember it very sour. Is it caramel wrapped in caramel on the outside? ”
"Exactly, two pennies for a string, do you want to buy it and try it?" Liuli keeps up the good work.
The woman looked at it for a while, then pointed to the half of the sticky bean bun exposed in the glass basket and said, "How about selling this thing to me?" ”
It seems that this person is in the picture of his own sticky bean bun, but this thing was originally made to eat by himself, and Liuli didn't plan to sell it, it was not as simple as a sugar gourd, and no one bought it when it was expensive, and it was not cost-effective if it was cheap.
But this woman is the first one who has the intention of buying something today, and Liuli doesn't want to miss it like this, so she said: "Okay, a sticky bean bag, a string of sugar gourds, the lady and I are okay?" ”
"Okay." The woman readily agreed, took the money, and left.
Liuli smiled bitterly with the five cents she had gotten, she was here to sell sugar gourds, but she sold their rations.
There was no improvement in the afternoon, Liuli's business was deserted, and he didn't even have the energy with the two little guys, seeing that the sun was setting westward, and there were fewer and fewer people, Liuli exhaled heavily: "Close the stall and go home." ”
