Chapter 14: Selling Chestnuts

"Whether it's delicious or not, let's try it. ”

Zhou Yuwei took the lead in taking out one, used a fruit knife to cut off the back shell of the chestnut tail, easily peeled off the chestnut shell, revealing the floury chestnut meat, opened her mouth and took a bite, well! delicious, glutinous and sweet, the small chestnut meat they had often eaten was yellow, but this one was pink and white, so delicious.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother looked at the huge chestnut in their hands, is this thing really a chestnut?

Zhou Yuying doesn't care, she is a natural foodie, she likes anything delicious, seeing how fragrant her sister eats, she quickly learned from her to cut off the thick skin, peel off the hard shell, and eat it.

Zhou Guoping and Zhang Lan also peeled it off and tasted it, and the two children ate without saying a word, which seemed to be delicious.

Zhou Yuying is worthy of being a foodie, such a big one, Zhou Yuwei just ate half of it, she finished eating, and hiccuped, "Well, it's delicious, it will definitely sell tomorrow, our whole family will go." ”

Zhou Yuwei saw that her parents nodded and smiled, the system must be high-quality, and the unpalatable ones will not be on the shelves in the mall.

Put the big chestnuts in the shade of the east house and put them away, just wait until the day to go to the market to sell, the family began to be busy again, there are turnips and cabbages in the field, there is no need to harvest them for the time being, just pour the water, the rest is to pick the white potatoes, make the dried white potatoes that are not good to preserve, and the dried corn is kneaded into grains, fortunately, there are not many planted.

When the whole family set out on the day of the big set, Zhang Lantian went to occupy the land before dawn, afraid that there would be too many people to set up stalls, and the chestnuts could not be loaded in one trip, and the first trip, the old couple went.

The second trip to Zhou Guoping home, called the two daughters to go out together, Zhou Yuying took her sister on a bicycle, followed her father to the market, just dawn, the sisters yawned, helped unpack the box, ready to peel a chestnut and cut it into small pieces for people to try.

Wait until seven o'clock, the sky will be bright, and the temperature will rise, so that Zhou Yuwei's cold hands and feet feel better, she saw that the new baked cakes from the baked cake stall are very fragrant, and she bought ten in the past, and the four people ate two each, just with the hot water of the thermos cup, even if it is a simple breakfast.

At eight o'clock, more and more people came to visit Daji in Sixiang and eight villages, and the Zhou family sold a lot of peanuts, white potatoes and vegetables.

Zhang Lan also comforted them and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I come early in the morning to buy a lot of vegetables, and after a while, people who have money and leisure should come out." ”

Zhou Yuwei's eyes stared at the non-stop flow of people, setting up a stall is such that you need to sit and wait, Zhou Yuying can't sit still and go to the market to wander around, with her temperament, she will buy a lot of things after a while, she has always had a big hand, and she earns as much as she spends.

"Dad, look, is that my uncle and aunt? Zhou Yuwei saw the old couple walking in the crowd, and they were really Zhou Guoping's eldest brother Zhou Guoguo and his wife.

"Well, really. Zhou Guoping hurriedly called his eldest brother to chat.

"Auntie and uncle. Zhou Yuwei also said hello.

Zhou Guoguo and his family agreed with a smile, "Hey, I'm back from vacation,"

"Well, auntie, give you a taste, it's very delicious," Zhou Yu Wei Lisuo peeled off a chestnut and gave it to aunt.

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't mind, I won't eat it, I'll keep it for you to sell." “

"It's okay to eat one, I bought it back for the convenience of my own food, such a big chestnut is rare, I'll get a few for you." ‘

"Don't, you've finally bought the goods, I'll taste it,"

Zhou Yuwei cut it in half with a knife and gave half to the aunt and uncle.

"Yuwei, this is really a chestnut, why is it different from what we usually eat, it's so big, and it's not the same color inside. Zhou Guoguo asked.

"Uncle, don't worry about eating, they are all newly cultivated, they used to be exported, I asked a friend to buy the goods, thinking about getting something fresh during the holidays. ”

The old two chestnuts ate half of it a lot, and they were half full after eating.

"It's very delicious, such a big one is full after eating one, but it is eaten, it is more difficult than eating small chestnuts one by one, how do you sell it?"

"No one has bought it yet, so it's not as good as amethyst fruit. ”

"It's okay, it's still early, it's only a little bit, chestnuts can't be put away like fruits, take your time, you guys sell it, I'll go shopping inside with your uncle,"

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Zhang Lan still had to take care of selling vegetables, and she didn't want to talk much.

The aunt and the uncle pulled the small shopping cart and went to the market, and the father was driven home to work and came to pick them up at noon.

Zhou Yuying came back from shopping, and sure enough, she bought a few big bags of things, she didn't want to go home, there were many people here, and I saw a lot of classmates and friends, and some people chatted with her.

Finally, someone began to pay attention to what they were selling, "Aunt Zhang, do you sell potatoes at home, why don't they look like them." ”

"It's a chestnut, it's a new variety, it's delicious, you taste this little piece of cut." ”

The woman who questioned was a family member of the nearby army, and Zhang Lan knew her, and when she saw Zhang Lan pointing to the chestnuts cut into small pieces on the plate, she skewered them with a toothpick and tasted them.

"How do you sell big chestnuts? This head is really big, I eat a lot of chestnuts, I have never seen such a big one. ”

"It's not expensive, 20 pounds, it's cheaper than fried chestnuts with sugar, you buy two is enough for a family to eat, you can put it if you buy more, don't love bad, this is fried goods, and the goods you buy are cooked." ”

I may have eaten several pieces of taste, I'm embarrassed not to sell, plus the price of chestnuts is clear, the price of cooked is not expensive, it didn't exceed psychological expectations, so I said happily,

"Give me four, it is estimated that it will cost more than two catties, and if my family likes me, I will buy it again." ”

Zhang Lan immediately took out a plastic bag and asked her to choose four by herself, and the electronic scale said that it was more than two catties, and she was charged 45 yuan.

Seeing that some people were buying big chestnuts, some people who were watching came up, and some asked if it was okay to buy one, Zhang Lan nodded and said that he would sell one too.

After nine o'clock, the flow of people began to surge, once caused congestion, mainly some people go to the market, do not put the tricycle outside to ride in, that is not in the way, it takes half a day to walk a short way, mostly the elderly, can not lift things, there is no way, the legs and feet are not good, can not walk.

After ten o'clock, people with money and leisure began to visit the market, many of them by car, and left their cars in the woods near the market, in the parking lot of the entire capital.

Customers who really have money and are willing to spend are online, big chestnuts make them feel fresh, these people are not afraid of expensive things to buy, they are afraid that they are not unusual, and there are many customers who used to buy amethyst fruits, seeing that her family has entered fresh goods again, how can there be no buying, taste good, some people also buy ten at once.

One box is more than forty big chestnuts, which were quickly sold out, Zhou Yuwei opened three boxes in a row and let them pick at will, just as my mother's vegetables were almost sold, making room for it.

People are like this, there is a herd mentality, when they see a lot of people around their stalls, they will come to see, no one has ever seen such a big chestnut, buy one to taste, many people will take one for their children, and they don't need to give plastic bags, they will take it in their pockets.

The two of them couldn't get busy, Zhou Yuying didn't chat to help collect money and settle accounts, looking at don't let people run away without giving money, this is not even, there are many people in the market, everyone has it.
