Chapter 29 The stall owner looked at Gu Xiaoxi with resentment

"Thank you, Brother Tan and Mrs. Tan!" Gu Xiaoxi thanked them happily.

After a while, the meat porridge was served.

The two siblings quickly drank the meat porridge, paid some silver, and set up a stall nearby.

Gu Xiaoxi and the others had walked far away, so it was not easy for them to bring a stove with them. If they could have brought a stove, the hot chestnuts would have tasted better.

The backpack was put down, and a pot of chestnuts was poured out. Gu Xiaoxi looked at his third brother and said, "Come on, third brother, shout a few words, saying that the sugar-roasted chestnuts are sweet!"

Gu Nanming looked around and found that no one was shouting in this place.

He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, there's no one here now, please call me later!"

Gu Xiaoxi guessed that her third brother was not used to it yet, so she did not force him. She served a bowl of chestnuts to Mrs. Tan.

"Mrs. Tan, you should also try my cooking," she said.

"How can I feel comfortable with that?" Mrs. Tan waved her hands repeatedly.

They charged for the porridge just now, although they set up a stall next to it, but the stalls here are owned by whoever occupies them. She said that just now because she thought the girl looked familiar.

"There's not much, eat it!" Gu Xiaoxi poured the chestnuts on the table and went back to sit with the empty bowl.

They put a small stool on top of the backpack so that they didn't have to squat on the ground.

There were not many customers coming and going at this moment, until the gate of the academy opened and students came out one after another, and then more people came to the nearby stalls.

"Third brother, shout!" Gu Xiaoxi said anxiously.

Gu Nanming asked with some embarrassment: "Really, do you really want to shout?"

"If we don't shout, who will know what we are selling?" Gu Xiaoxi glared at her third brother. Seeing that he was embarrassed, she shouted, "Selling roasted chestnuts, sweeter than honey, sweeter than a wife!"

younger sister……

This is really...

Gu Nanming, a man who is not married yet, is too embarrassed to say such words, so how can his sister say it?

When Brother Tan heard the shout, his face turned red, and Aunt Tan, who was drinking water, choked and coughed.

Brother Tan hurried over to pat his wife on the back, then whispered, "How dare this little girl say that?"

Gu Xiaoxi shouted twice, and indeed attracted a group of scholars.

The leading scholar was wearing a school uniform, had handsome features, and looked nonchalant.

"Gentlemen, please try it first." Gu Xiaoxi calmly served a bowl of chestnuts for them to try.

The owners of several stalls nearby became dissatisfied when they saw several wealthy young men gathering around them.

"You are such a shameless girl! You can say such things just to make a little business!"

"Of course, they're just chestnuts. How sweet can they be?"

"Mr. Chen, don't be fooled."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Gentlemen, please try it first. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to buy it."

Young Master Chen came to his senses and peeled one to taste.

The chestnuts were soft, sweet and fragrant. He had never eaten such delicious chestnuts before. They were much better than those made by his chef.

"It's delicious. It's so delicious. How much is it? Give me a bowl." After he finished eating one, he picked up another one, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"A bowl of rice is only three cents and not expensive. If you're tired of eating meat and fish, their white porridge is a great way to relieve the greasiness. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after trying it once.

However, since this gentleman is our first guest today, this bowl is free." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"Haha, there is such a good thing. Thank you very much." Mr. Chen laughed happily after hearing this.

This was Gu Xiaoxi's first day here, and she hadn't had time to buy oil paper, so she picked some large leaves from the woods this morning and used them to wrap the baby's head.

The few people following behind also tried it and thought it tasted good, so they each ordered a bowl.

Although Gu Xiaoxi accepted money from several young masters, she gave each of them half an extra bowl.

After they bought the chestnuts, they sat down at Mrs. Tan's stall. Each of them had a bowl of white porridge with sugar-roasted chestnuts, which really tasted unique.

Seeing this, the scholars who were eating nearby also came over to try the food.

Many people paid for the chestnuts after tasting their sweetness.

However, the stalls that usually have fewer people were now full today.

Brother and Sister Tan became busy. Although they were only selling white porridge, they could make money as the quantity was large.

Gu Xiaoxi’s chestnuts were sold out before noon. Some students who wanted to try them didn’t get to eat them and asked when they could be bought again.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and replied, "These chestnuts are all found in the mountains. If you can't come tomorrow, we can come the day after tomorrow and get more then."

"Okay, then we'll eat the day after tomorrow."

"Big sister, please don't sell it to outsiders. There are many people in our academy, and there must be many who want to eat it."

"That's right, don't let them all sell out before noon."

The scholars were so sweet-mouthed that Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I'll definitely keep it for you when the time comes."

Only after hearing Gu Xiaoxi's agreement did the students leave one after another.

Some people who didn't get to eat chestnuts were too lazy to leave, so they sat down to drink a bowl of porridge before returning to the academy.

Gu Nanming's face was full of surprise from beginning to end, and it seemed that his expression was frozen.

The two full baskets of chestnuts were sold out, and the customers still had some left.

Gu Xiaoxi patted Third Brother's face and whispered, "Third Brother, hold your chin. Let's go buy some oil paper. Otherwise, I don't know what we'll use to pack it the next day."

"Don't buy it. I'm going to the mountain to pick leaves." Gu Nanming remembered that his sister had just said that she would come the day after tomorrow, which was plenty of time to go to the mountain to pick leaves.

"No, we have to buy some oil paper." Gu Xiaoxi insisted on her opinion and did not explain the reason for the time being.

Seeing that his sister was angry, Gu Nanming stopped talking and planned to go back and ask his mother to persuade her.

Gu Xiaoxi ignored her third brother and went over to say hello to Mrs. Tan.

"Mrs. Tan, we have to go back after we finish selling."

Mrs. Tan put down what she was doing, turned around, took out sixteen cents from her pocket and stuffed them into Gu Xiaoxi's pocket.

"How can this be possible?" Gu Xiaoxi waved her hands repeatedly.

"If it weren't for your shout today, my sister-in-law would have this business. If you want to set up a stall here the day after tomorrow, just accept it!" Mrs. Tan said sternly, and stuffed the silver into Gu Xiaoxi's pocket.

It seems that Mrs. Tan is quite good at dealing with people.

Gu Xiaoxi was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others, but in order to be able to continue setting up a stall here the day after tomorrow, he still accepted the money.

"Thank you, Mrs. Tan. I hope our business will prosper in the future," she said happily.

"Yes, yes, yes, everything will be prosperous, everything will be prosperous!" When Mrs. Tan saw Gu Xiaoxi accept the money, her heart settled down.

She is not stupid. Today's business was brought by this girl. She is her benefactor and she must keep her.

At this moment, the porridge stall owner next to him looked at Gu Xiaoxi with resentment.
