Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 313 Selling Fruit
"Brother Hu Zi, we need to pick some leaves." Juanjuan shouted from below.
Hu Zi looked down at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to pick more leaves?"
"Yeah, it looks good this way." Juanjuan said seriously.
Hu Zi and Xiao Zhang were confused, but they still picked some leaves as they requested.
After filling the basket, he handed it to Hu Zi and prepared to pick another kind of fruit.
"Master, Miss, the small basket has been delivered. Where do you want to put it?" The butler came over with a smile.
"Grandpa Butler, could you please help us take it out?" Si Jinchen smiled as he looked at the bayberries in the basket.
"Okay, young master, please wait a minute." The butler asked someone to bring the small basket.
Juanjuan took the small basket, placed bayberry leaves on the bottom and sides of the basket, and then put the bayberries in the big basket into it one by one.
The housekeeper squatted down and looked at her in confusion: "Miss, isn't this what you want to eat?"
"No, my brother and I are going to sell fruits." Juanjuan smiled happily.
"So that's how it is. Can I help you install it?" The housekeeper volunteered with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you, butler." Juanjuan nodded happily in agreement.
Si Jinchen and the housekeeper imitated Juanjuan and put the bayberries in the small basket. It looked so delicate and beautiful.
The cherries were placed in the small baskets in the same way. After all the small baskets were put in, the housekeeper and others helped carry them to the front door.
The people who frequented the place where they lived were all wealthy, and fruits like these were hard to buy even if they had money.
Songsongruanruan and Jizizi had rested enough, so they followed them out the gate.
The two children carried two small stools and sat on the roadside outside the gate, next to Song Songruanruan and Jizaizai.
This combination has attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Fruits for sale, red and black delicious fruits." Juanjuan opened her little voice and shouted towards the street.
"Sweet bayberries and cherries." Si Jinchen also shouted to the street.
Many people know that these two children are from the Si family, but is the Si family so poor?
Do you want to let two of them come out to sell fruits?
Everyone passing by had a lot of question marks on their heads.
But apart from anything else, the fruits in front of them looked really fresh!
"Master Achen, how much are your bayberries and cherries?" A beautiful woman asked, holding a small bag and pointing at the fruits in front of them.
"They are all fifty cents a basket, one silver dollar for two baskets." Si Jinchen didn't know the price of the fruit, or just asked Wu Ma.
The fruits on weekdays are not so fresh and the price is a little cheaper than this, but theirs are very fresh and can be sold at this price.
"Then I'll have a basket of each." The woman took out a silver dollar from her small bag and handed it to him.
Juanjuan picked out a basket of cherries and bayberries and handed it to her: "Thank you, pretty auntie."
"What a sweet little mouth." The woman looked at the chicks beside them and asked, "Are you selling this hen?"
Juanjuan immediately hugged the chick and said, "Pretty auntie, the chick is not for sale."
"Okay, okay, forget it if you don't want to sell it. I have an appointment with some friends to play cards today, I'll bring it over for them to try, and if it tastes good, they can buy it." The woman didn't care.
"Thank you, beautiful auntie." Juanjuan thanked her sweetly.
After she left, all the chickens ran back into the gate, but just stood there watching and no longer walked forward towards them, for fear that they would be caught.
By then they won’t know whether it will be too late to call for help.
Some people who were driving by saw them selling fresh fruits and thought the price was right, so they bought some to take home.
In a short while, all the bayberries and cherries they picked were sold out.
"Master Achen, are you out of cherries and bayberries?" Several people dressed as servants ran over and shouted when they saw him about to leave.
"Yes, but there is no small basket." Si Jinchen looked at them apologetically.
"We don't need the basket. Madam Sun just brought some over, and our masters all said they were delicious, so they asked us to buy some to take back."
Several people said hurriedly.
"Okay, then you wait a moment." Si Jinchen said, pulling Juanjuan and carrying the small stool back to the yard.
Seeing that there was nothing fun to watch, Songsongruanruan yawned, stood up and followed them home.
Hu Zi picked three portions of each, a little more than what he could put in the basket, and put them in small cloth bags and handed them out to them: "I don't have any small baskets anymore, so I packed some extra for you."
"Thank you." The three of them immediately took out silver dollars and handed them to Hu Zi.
Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen into the hall and said, "Grandma, my brother and I made some money!"
Madam Si and the others just knew that the two little guys went to the door to sell bayberries and cherries, but they didn't expect to sell them all.
Si Jinchen took out a lot of silver dollars from his bag and placed them on the table: "Look, this is what we sold."
"It's capable now, and everyone can make money." Miao Jiu picked up a silver dollar, blew on it, and put it to his ear to listen.
"Uncle, aren't we great!" Juanjuan looked at him with a smile.
"That's amazing! It seems I don't have to worry about no one supporting me in the future." Miao Jiu smiled and put the silver dollar on the table.
Siming rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have a son, let your son raise you, don't try to take advantage of my daughter and son."
"Juanjuan is your daughter-in-law and my daughter, there is no conflict." Miao Jiu was shameless.
"I wonder why you are so shameless." Siming felt like hitting someone.
"Master, Miss, here..." Hu Zi came in with three silver dollars and found that the atmosphere was not right.
"We were just discussing what to do with these fruits if you can't sell them." Si Ning didn't want to pay attention to the two childish guys.
"You can make sweet and sour soup!" Juanjuan knelt on the carpet and picked up a silver dollar on the table and let go.
"Ding!" The silver dollar fell and hit the silver dollar below, making a crisp sound.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. It would be so relaxing to have a bowl of sour plum soup in this weather." Aunt Wu slapped her thigh and remembered what she wanted to do.
It just so happened that Hu Zi had picked a lot of bayberries just now, so she would go and try it now. If it works, she could sell them in the milk tea shop.
Old Madam Si looked at Aunt Wu who rushed to the kitchen, and then looked at the little girl who was having fun with the silver dollars.
It's really not a waste at all.
But it seems that cherries can also be made into cherry jam, so thinking of this, she got up and went to the kitchen to try it.
Si Ming and Miao Jiu were still staring at each other, while Si Ning looked at Si Tian: "Ah Tian, find a place to help the two children save this money. They earned it themselves."
"Okay, I'll see whether I should deposit it in the bank or find a cash box to keep it for them." Si Tian was thinking in his mind whether it was better to deposit it in the bank or keep it at home.
