Qingfeng stood in line with a white porcelain bowl and bought a bowl of grass jelly honey with two cents.

Rich families all have ice cellars to store ice, but chilled food is indeed not fresh.

The young man in brocade clothes took a mouthful of the herbal jelly honey and put it down. It was indeed a new food he had never tasted before, but the taste was just so-so, not as cool and delicious as the iced sour plum soup at home.

"Let's go and look somewhere else." As if he had lost interest in this small business, the man stood up and walked away from the window, shaking his folding fan.

The kneeling Old Zhou then stood up quietly and followed Qingfeng.

-

Su Liuer didn't care who bought the grass jelly honey. As long as they were all sold out, she felt that the day had passed peacefully.

Now she has increased the amount of grass jelly honey, and can sell about 60 bowls a day, earning more than 100 coins a day. However, with the increase in income, she also uses more powdered sugar. The powdered sugar that was originally expected to last about ten days can now only last three or four days.

It turns out that doing business is not easy, and she still has a long way to go to become a rich woman.

"You keep the money yourself from now on. It's your money." Grandma Wang stuffed the bulging purse into Su Liuer's hand.

Su Liuer did not refuse. She said, "We'll divide it when we get back. We shouldn't show our wealth to others." Then she tied the purse around her waist and continued to pack.

When I went to the restaurant next door to return the bucket, the owner came out and said he had something to say.

"I wonder what your name is, young lady?"

"My last name is Su." Su Liuer prefers to be called Madam Su rather than Madam Daxi or Madam Zhu, so no matter who asks her, she will only say her last name.

The shopkeeper stroked his short beard with a smile and said, "Madam Su, your business has been booming these days, but aren't your prices a bit low?"

Prices are relative. Compared to the mung bean soup vendors in town, Su Liuer's herbal jelly honey is cheaper. She started out wanting to quickly expand the market.

She frowned, pretending not to understand, and asked, "Is it too low? I've seen other places selling summer-heat relief foods with prices around this high."

"How can you compare with them? Look at your Herbal Jelly Honey, it tastes better, has a larger portion, and is the only one you can find here! Even if you sell it for five cents a bowl, you won't have to worry about lack of business!" The shopkeeper raised his hand and made a five with great enthusiasm.

Su Liuer smiled secretly in her heart. This shopkeeper was a businessman and wanted to discuss cooperation with her.

She nodded in confusion, but then she said worriedly, "But I've been selling it for a few days now, and it's always been this price. If I suddenly change it, will no one buy it? Then won't I have to change it back?"

In fact, even if the shopkeeper didn't mention it, she had already planned to raise the price after a while.

I wonder what good advice the shopkeeper can give her.

The shopkeeper said with a confident look, "There will definitely be buyers! So, you will sell it in my restaurant from now on. You will be responsible for making the grass jelly honey. I will provide you with a seat and bowls and spoons. You will give me a penny for every bowl you sell. If there is any unsold at the end of the night, I will compensate you according to your previous selling price! What do you think, Madam Su?"

According to Su Liuer's observation, there are almost no people visiting this restaurant in the afternoon. The owner wants to use this free time to make extra money.

Su Liuer pretended to be hesitant, pursed her lips and thought.

Seeing she didn't answer, the shopkeeper continued, "I've been doing business in this town for over ten years. If you're afraid I'll cheat you, I'll give you a written agreement. Don't you know Captain Zhang? We can even ask him to be a witness! It's so comfortable out here, exposed to the wind and sun. Even if you can endure it, you still have to think about the children and the elderly, right?"

This shopkeeper is really a shrewd person, and this is what really makes Su Liuer excited. Even if they set up a stall under a tree, the shade is not enough to cover the three of them. It is definitely not as comfortable outside as inside the restaurant.

"Well, then, I'll probably need the shopkeeper's help to adjust the price. After all, I'm new to town and I'm unfamiliar with the place..."

"No problem! Then, shall we go find Captain Zhang to be a witness and sign a receipt?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but rub his hands with joy. A bowl of rice costs one penny, which means he can make dozens of pennies a day! Even a mosquito leg is meat!
