Chapter 9, Street Hawking
Liao Bo did not reveal his name, and he was also very respectful to Zhao Ji, and after taking Yaoxing to the street, he didn't do anything else, just stood there and didn't move.
Yao Xing looked at him for a while before thinking of Zhao Ji's intentions. How could a woman who could cultivate Qin Shi Huang go out for a trip, just to coax her children to play.
"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, sweet and sour sugar gourd!"
Yaoxing stood on the side of the street and began to sell without the slightest timidity. Even Liao Bo didn't expect Yaoxing to take this step so quickly, and he felt a little appreciative in his heart.
A child standing on the side of the street and hawking is a selling point, and they have never heard of the sugar gourd, so they will stop and watch it.
The name of the sugar gourd is very straightforward, how can something made of sugar not attract children. Some people pay attention to it, and some people buy it, and not all of them are poor.
A woman couldn't stand the coquettishness of her little grandson, and asked Yao Xing, "How much is your sugar gourd?" ”
This question is out of line, Yao Xing really doesn't know what Zhao Guo's coin is, and he doesn't know how much money is appropriate, so he has to look back at the middle-aged man for help.
I saw Liao Bo stretch out two fingers, but Yao Xing still didn't know what it meant.
The woman couldn't help but be grinded by her little grandson, so she directly took out two copper coins and handed them to Yaoxing: "Hurry up and take a string, I'm going to be dizzy from this child's crying!" ”
Yao Xing looked back at the middle-aged man with two copper coins, and saw that Liao Bo did not object, so he directly took down a string of sugar gourds and handed them to the children on the ground.
The boy took the sugar gourd and licked it, and only after eating the sweetness did he stand up happily, and took the old woman's hand and jumped away.
Seeing this, other children also wanted to, but not every adult was willing to spend money to buy snacks for their children, so although there were many people around, Yaoxing sold a total of six strings of sugar gourds.
When no one was around, Yao Xing sat next to him, holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand and talking to Uncle Liao: "Uncle, you also eat a string of sugar gourds!" ”
Liao Bo didn't eat the sugar gourd, but taught Yaoxing a lesson: "Although your thing is novel, it is not difficult to make it, and it won't be long before many children and even adults will buy it, but you also have to know that after a while, someone else will also make the same sugar gourd to sell, what will you do when the time comes?" ”
Yaoxing never intended to monopolize this thing, and it didn't hurt if someone sold it, as long as she could still sell it. Before others imitate it, she can still sell very well.
"I didn't think about it," Yaoxing replied obediently
Liao Bo was not disappointed, but looked in the direction of the mountain and said, "You can control the materials needed for the sugar gourd, just those hawthorn trees." That mountain is ownerless, so the hawthorn trees also belong to the local yamen, and you can buy those hawthorn trees as long as you earn enough money before others imitate them. ”
"In the entire Zhao Kingdom, are there only a few hawthorn trees?" Yaoxing is not interested, because it is almost autumn now, there will be no fresh hawthorn for three months at most, and there is no refrigerator in ancient times, so it cannot be refrigerated, so this business is not suitable for perennial drying.
Liao Bo smiled, and his words were a little contemptuous: "At least there is only that mountain in the city, and it is unknown whether there is one outside the city, but if the people in the city want to go out of the city to collect, they need to spend more time and manpower, and they can't earn much money at the same price." ”
