Chapter 36: Selling (Bread)
Kaichi brought the salt crystal back, and when Erica saw him return, she asked, "Why did it take so long to come back?"
He handed over the salt crystals in his hand and said to Erica, "When the teacher was collecting medicine, he came across a cave with salt, and he picked some salt crystals and gave them to me, so that I can take them to the town tomorrow and sell them." ”
"What is salt crystal? Mom. Before Erica could say anything, Donna next to her couldn't help but speak.
"Salt crystals, salt crystals are the salt mined in the cave, the same as crystals. Gary explained cursoryly.
"Crystal, what's the crystal!" Donna listened, and quickly ran over from her position, looking at the contents of the basin in Jiayi's hand.
Inside, I saw a lump of crystalline objects, which looked more like ice. These salt crystals are not a whole piece, the middle is the largest salt crystal polymer, this is not a whole piece of salt crystals, it is a crystal cluster formed by the polymerization of many salt crystals, in the middle of the crystal cluster are several relatively large crystals, the largest is the size of a child's fist, the small one is only the size of a bird's egg, and the rest is some small and largest fingernail size, and small crystals the size of rice grains grow around the large crystals. In addition to this piece, there are also some small scattered crystals in the basin, which add up to about 7 percent of the size of that piece.
"Is that what crystals are?" asked Donna curiously, "is it about the same as ice?" ”
"Almost, the crystal is a little more transparent. Eat first, Nana. Gary didn't know how to explain what the crystal was like and how it differed from the current salt crystal. He'd only seen it from afar, and he mentioned it in passing.
Jia Yi didn't know how to explain crystal and glass, crystal and non-crystalline, transmittance and refractive index to her, so that she could understand, anyway, everything transparent looked the same.
The next morning, they got up early in the morning and went to the street to sell bread, and the whole family went, after all, it was a big deal. It didn't matter if Kaichi had been there once, but Donna was excited.
I didn't say much along the way, and when I came to the town, it was past breakfast, and I could have lunch in another hour or two.
Jiayi took his family to the door of the tavern and found the tavern owner: "Hello, boss. My name is Jia Yi, I am a student of Yao Lao, and my family made some bread to sell in the town, and the teacher said that I can come to you to sell it. We want to pick up the place at your door to sell, can you see it?"
Jia Yi looks like a little adult, and he speaks very politely, after all, he can be regarded as asking for others.
The tavern keeper listened and looked at him, "Oh, it's you, you came over for dinner with your teacher last time, and that old thing with Maca." ”
"Yes, you have a good memory. Boss, what do you think. ”
"Yes, but bread isn't easy to sell, is it? There are a lot of food sellers in town, so why buy your bread?"
"The teacher gave us a new recipe and the bread was so delicious and fluffy that people would love it, they definitely hadn't eaten it. ”
In other words, your teacher is so good at anything.
Seeing that the tavern owner seemed to have something to say, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you some bread." You'll love it. ”
Jia Yi ran to his parents, took a loaf of bread back, handed it to the boss, and said, "You can taste it and see if you like it." ”
The boss took the bread and saw that it was indeed different from those glamorous jian goods on the market, and the feel was better than theirs. And the bread was so thick that he thought it would not be baked thoroughly, and it would be as hard as a stone in the middle. But when he broke it open, he saw only many holes, and a smell emanating from the inside of the bread.
It's really a new formula, a new feeling, and it's completely different.
The difference in your mouth is even greater, one is hard like a stone when it's cold, and the other is soft like a woman's breasts (I wanted to say marshmallows, but I don't think they have them). It's a completely different feeling.
He put the broken bread in his mouth, chewed it heavily, and said, "Jia Yi, why don't you sell some of this bread to me, I will sell it in the tavern, it must be good, and it will save you from selling it outside." ”
"No, boss. Jia Yi hurriedly refused.
"Ah, you can call me McConaughey. ”
"Madonna?" Kaichi was eager to ask if he had a sister named McDonald's.
"No, it's McConaughey, Connor, look at my mouth, Kang~~~~ But Madonna doesn't seem to be bad, I have a daughter I can consider giving her in the future..."
"Wait, Boss Kang, we can't sell you this bread, we want to try the market's reaction, so we have to sell the bread ourselves this time. If you want, you can order the next batch, how much you order, I will make more next time and bring it over. ”
Jia Yi thought about it, it's nothing to distribute some to McConaughey's boss, the tavern mainly sells wine, and the food is just incidental, and the peak traffic of the tavern is at night, selling it to him will not affect his business, after all, Jia Yi and they are all going home at night. However, what the hell is Boss Kang?
Jia Yi suddenly thought of a problem, Jia Yi's family is quite far from here, and there is no place to live in the town, if you want to sell bread every day, you have to walk more than 20 kilometers every day, back and forth. The road wasn't too good, and I spent hours on the road every day.
If only I could have a car.
The tavern owner McConaughey saw that Kaichi was resolute, and this bread had indeed not been seen before, and it lacked market inspection. I agreed to sell it at the door of the tavern first, and at the same time ordered 20 loaves of bread.
To be honest, 20 loaves of bread is not much, but it is the busy season of farming, and there are no foreign caravans, so the business is relatively light. When the townspeople come to the tavern for a drink, they are probably reluctant to buy such expensive bread to eat, and the price of a white loaf of bread is worth a large glass of fine ale.
The amount of bread they prepared was also a little conservative.
After McConaughey, they took out the bread from the basket and began to sell it.
"Come and see, freshly baked bread, white bread, brown bread, fluffy and delicious bread, different from other breads. The two children, Jia Yi and Donna, began to sell, and Jia started to shout, and Donna followed and shouted.
Soon, someone came over curiously and asked for the price. It's just that as soon as I heard that it was sold so expensive, no one asked for it, it was too expensive, twice as expensive as ordinary bread. In addition, the people who are attracted here now are ordinary people, and they don't want to spend this unjust money. Gradually, there were fewer onlookers.
Jiayi's bread is not an Internet celebrity store, and you can't buy it in line.
It's funny to see that this can't be done, and it can't be sold. If there was a traverser news, there should be such a headline, "Shocked, no one cares about the traverser's otherworldly entrepreneurship".
After thinking about it, Jia Yi took a piece of bread, went to Boss Kang's shop and borrowed a knife to cut it into small slices, each piece was no more than a thumb square, as thick as ordinary toast, and then pretended to be out.
Donna saw it and asked, "Kaichi, what are you doing here, are you giving us food, why doesn't anyone buy our bread, our bread is so delicious." ”
Handing the bread to Erica, Kaichi turned back to Donna's and said, "This is not for us to eat." ”
Erica took the bread and said, "Is our bread too expensive, and can we lower the price of ordinary bread?" ”
"No, Mom. Others don't buy it because they don't know that our bread is delicious, and I cut these breads to let them try them for free, and after pinch them, they will definitely buy them if they think they are delicious. "Jia Yi borrowed the method of tasting in the timeout to sell his bread, although Jia Yi has never bought it after trying it, but there are still so many people who use this method, it should have an effect.
"Come, Nana, shout with me. Fresh bread, free to taste, not delicious no money, fresh bread, fluffy fresh bread, different bread. First come, first served, if it's late, there will be no more. ”
"Yes, sister!" Donna has been trying to correct Kaichi's salutation, but she has also learned to shout from Kaichi: "Fresh bread, free to taste, free." ”
Hearing that there was free bread to eat, many people gathered around again to see what was going on. People have a herd mentality, and when others saw many people watching here, they didn't care about coming over to see what was going on.
