Chapter Seventy-Three: Acquaintances
Where there is a lot of traffic, things are easy to sell.
After a while, Du Ankang and Tian were busy.
Although these diners buy relatively little, but the more people buy, the more pastries they produce and sell.
A rough calculation shows that they have sold about ten catties of pastries.
plus the girls who put the river lanterns before and the sister-in-law who held the child before, they sold a total of about twenty-five catties of pastries.
Tian was a little worried: "Yu Niang, we can make a full hundred catties of pastries today, this, this is only half sold." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the excitement of the Shangyuan Festival has just begun!" She looked up at the night sky and said, "People who play here have a habit of buying while playing!" If you bring a house slave or a servant, it's fine, someone will help you carry things, and you won't have anything to buy more. But most people, no one to help carry things, so ah, maybe play first and buy later, let's just wait. ”
This experience was passed on to her by the master!
Speaking of which, where is the master now? I don't know if she entered the nunnery, has she been cured of madness?
Du Yuniang sighed lightly, and then smiled: "Don't worry. ”
Tian nodded, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared.
The three of them began to greet business again.
In the crowd, an old gentleman wearing a navy blue dark brocade robe walked towards them with his hands in his hands.
I don't know why, Du Yuniang just felt that he was coming for his side.
Sure enough, the old gentleman stopped when he walked to the stall.
Du Yuniang stepped forward, just as he was a normal buyer, and asked him: "Look at our pastries, the ingredients are all good, taste first and then buy, Tong Suo has no time." ”
Du Yuniang didn't take the small dim sum pieces that had been cut before, but in front of the old man, she directly changed to a clean small plate, and handed over two pieces of dim sum with a bamboo tong.
The old man looked very interested, and he was not polite, and took the plate directly.
He didn't eat it like other buyers, but first put the snack under his nose and smelled it, then looked at it carefully, and finally picked up a piece and put it to his mouth and took a bite.
Du Yuniang kept staring at the old man's face, but she felt that this person was quite deep in the city, and she couldn't see anything for a while.
The old man handed the snack in his hand to a middle-aged man next to him, "You can taste it." ”
The middle-aged man took a bite, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.
The old man returned the plate to Du Yuniang with a smile and said, "Little brother, how did you sell this snack." ”
Du Yuniang said: "Twenty-five Wen! ”
The old man nodded again, "It's not expensive, weigh me five catties!" ”
Five pounds?
Tian's eyes lit up suddenly, this is a big customer.
She was busy wrapping up her heart.
"Little brother, did you make this snack yourself?"
Du Yuniang nodded, "Earn a few pocket money." ”
"Your dim sum is not cheap, you earn pocket money, it won't be saving money to get a daughter-in-law, right?" The old man didn't mean anything, but was he really just a random joke?
"Heh, Mr. said that he laughed, how old is the boy." Du Yuniang took the wrapped dim sum from Tian's hand, and with two points of respect, she sent the dim sum bag to the old man.
The middle-aged man next to the old man hurriedly took the snack and offered the money together.
A pound of dim sum costs 25 yuan, and 5 catties of dim sum is only 125 yuan.
The middle-aged man directly sent over a silver horn, which weighed two coins, to say the least.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you the money right away." They did not have a scale for the weight of the silver, and they did not know how much it weighed.
Small doors and small households do business, all use copper plates.
However, when doing business, you have to settle accounts, and you can't take advantage of others.
Who knew that the old man listened to her words, but waved his hand and said, "No need." Little brother has worked hard, and the rest of the money will be for me to invite you to drink a pot of wine to warm up. ”
Seventy dollars to buy wine, that can be regarded as good wine.
Du Yuniang hadn't come to her senses yet, and the old gentleman had already taken the middle-aged man away.
"Yu Niang, this old gentleman, why is it so weird!"
It's weird, and it's familiar.
Du Yuniang couldn't think of it for a while, so she only said: "Whatever, anyway, for us, there is no harm." And Du Yuniang felt that they would meet again soon.
But......
"Buy five catties of dim sum at once, their family has a lot of people......
"Big brother, why do you care so much?" Du Yuniang felt a little chilly on her body at this time, presumably her brother and sister-in-law were also cold enough.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the wonton stand next to her.
"I invite you to eat wontons with your sister-in-law."
Tian grabbed her: "What are you doing with that money, I'm not hungry." ”
"You're not hungry, but it's so cold that your hands and feet won't obey for a while. We ate a bowl of ravioli for each of us, and it was warm and warm. Du Yuniang said again: "Besides, this is what the old gentleman invited us." ”
Tian was about to say something more, but Du Yuniang didn't care so much at all, so she slipped away, ran to the wonton stall in a few steps, and ordered three bowls of fresh meat wontons.
This wonton has a thin skin and a big filling, and a bowl is only seven yuan.
Du Yuniang felt that it was too worthwhile.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and pay." Du Yuniang smiled and beckoned to the Tian family.
Tian had no choice but to walk over, ask the price, and took out two big coins and one small one.
The stall owners have cooked the wontons, so she can't say no, right?
In a large porcelain open bowl, there are five large wontons with fresh meat. The shop is a real person, and each wonton has a thin skin and big filling, and the ingredients are exquisite. The hot soup in the bowl should be made with bone broth, with a few green onions floating on it, which smells appetizing, and after drinking two sips of soup, the whole body warms up.
After Du Yuniang finished eating the wontons, she changed to Du Ankang's class.
Just when the three of them were eating wontons in shifts, they sold a few catties of red bean cakes, of course, most of the people who bought the pastries bought half a catty and half a catty.
Compared with the 'cheap' snacks on the street, their dim sum prices are slightly expensive, and many people are powerless.
The pastries had just been sold for more than 30 catties, and there was still more than half of them left, and Tian couldn't sit still.
Although she was apprehensive in her heart, she didn't dare to say too much, for fear that if she said too much, Du Yuniang would be anxious.
In fact, Du Yuniang has a big heart, when is she like Tian's, a little frustration is not steady, and her heart is like a drum.
Just as Du Yuniang was shouting hard to drink her own pastries, she suddenly found a familiar figure in the distance.
Her whole body froze, and her body trembled involuntarily.
This person, she doesn't just know him!
Du Yuniang was furious, her hands were clenched, her eyes were on fire, and she couldn't wait to pounce directly and tear the man alive.
