Chapter 57: Snatch and Sell
Uncle Luo couldn't help but ask, "A-Ning, what are you selling?" ”
In the face of Uncle Luo, Chu Ning would never say the nonsense of the river god, but made up a story that was more acceptable, saying: "Uncle Luo, I call it sweet potato, I used to have enough food in the Chu family, so I went to the mountains to find food, and I accidentally dug it in the mountains, and found that it tasted good, so I took it out to see if I could sell it for some money." ”
"It must be, it's a food that has never been seen before!" Uncle Luo's eyes lit up and said.
As he spoke, more and more people were attracted by the scent.
Chu Ning took out all the four sweet potatoes and said loudly: "Fellow fathers, this is the roasted sweet potato I grow at home, it is delicious and not expensive, it costs five cents a catty, do you want to come and taste it?" ”
Not only the people of Qinghe Village, but also Anping County, and even the entire Dayan Kingdom, no one has ever heard of such a thing as sweet potatoes.
But the sweet taste is genuine.
It's just that everyone is afraid of smelling delicious and eating badly, so no one takes the lead.
Chu Ning is not in a hurry, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
Finally, a young woman squeezed in with a child who looked like she was seven or eight years old, and the child pointed to the sweet potato and said loudly, "Mother, I want to eat!" ”
"Yes, son!"
The young woman just took her son to the school, her family conditions were slightly better, and since her son wanted to eat, five copper plates were nothing.
"Then I want a pound!" The young woman took out five brass plates.
"Okay!"
Chu Ning picked up the knife and prepared to cut a piece, because a piece of sweet potato weighed four or five catties, and she didn't know how to start.
"I'm coming!"
Uncle Luo has been doing business all year round, and he has a much more accurate grasp of catties than Chu Ning, he first picked up the sweet potato and weighed it, and then used a knife to cut a small piece.
Revealing a pale red, steaming pulp.
Uncle Luo put the sweet potato on the scale, a little more than a catty.
"Exactly!" Chu Ning handed the sweet potato to the young woman.
The child took it in his hand and couldn't wait to take a bite, "Wow, mother, it's so sweet, it's delicious!" ”
He held up the sweet potato for the young woman to taste.
The young woman couldn't hold back, but she also took a bite, and it was delicious, as sweet as added sugar, and it was a delicacy she had never tasted.
Chu Ning cut off two more small pieces and handed them to Uncle Luo and Luo Xiao'an, "Uncle Luo, Xiao An, you can taste it!" ”
The two of them were a little embarrassed, but it was really hard to refuse this top-notch delicacy.
Luo Xiaoan took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
Feeling that happiness was about to fly, Luo Xiaoan couldn't help but say, "A-Ning, it's delicious!" ”
Chu Ning smiled, this sweet potato seems to be sold.
……
The young woman and her son finished eating the sweet potato, and the young woman handed over five copper plates: "Girl, bring me another one, take it home and give it to my in-laws and baby father to taste!" ”
"Give me a pound!"
"I want two pounds!"
……
With the young woman taking the lead, everyone began to buy roasted sweet potatoes.
You have a pound, I have a pound, and soon only the last piece is left.
Chu Ning gave the sweet potatoes to Uncle Luo and Luo Xiao'an again, and the two of them obviously didn't have a lot of fun.
And Chu Ning earned a total of nearly a hundred copper plates.
This money doesn't seem to be much, but the prey that Uncle Luo sometimes harvests for days in the mountains is at most more than 200 copper plates.
Unless you can hit particularly rare prey.
But hunting requires bows and arrows, and bows and arrows also need money to buy, which is also a lot of consumption.
But Uncle Luo didn't mean to be jealous of Chu Ning, Chu Ning was able to dig sweet potatoes in the mountains, that was Chu Ning's ability.
