Chapter 52: If it were an ordinary person, he would have been beaten up long ago
Chen Guilan felt that she couldn’t sell it, and Rutang couldn’t sell it either, but she guessed wrong.
As soon as Rutang put the material into the pot, the aroma spread far away instantly and immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. Yu Yaoyang gave everyone a taste and asked everyone to sit down and drink tea. Immediately, people stopped to watch.
This set of procedures was figured out during the past few days of setting up stalls, and every step is meaningful.
Seeing that Rutang had opened for business, Chen Guilan became anxious and wanted to imitate Rutang and let people taste the food. However, she was alone there and there were conchs being fried in the pot. As soon as she left, the pot would get burnt.
I finally managed to get someone over and picked one up from the pot and asked him to taste it. The man took a bite and his face twitched.
"Puh, puh, puh, what is this? It's all stinky! Not fresh at all!" The man spat several times. The taste in his mouth was really unpleasant, so he quickly trotted across the street to ask for tea from Rutang's house.
Seeing this, Chen Guilan was so angry that she smashed the shovel into the pot. The shovel made a harsh sound when it hit the bottom of the pot. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You dirty bastard! How much money did you take from others to talk nonsense here? I dug this from the sea myself, how could it be smelly?"
A gust of wind blew by, and the smell from the pot rose instantly. The smell of seafood was mixed with a hint of stench, and Chen Guilan herself could smell it.
With a puzzled look on his face, he picked one up, blew it, and put it in his mouth. It was really broken.
She was reluctant to spend money to collect them. She mobilized the whole family to go to the sea to catch them yesterday morning. In a hurry to get to the city, she just put them in silk bags and soaked them in a large sink. Maybe some of them died due to the hot weather. No wonder they smelled so bad.
The small seafood for Rutang's family was bought from fellow villagers. Yu Yaoyang brought it over when he went to the city. Everyone calculated the time and helped spit out the sand to ensure the freshness of the food. After all, Rutang and his wife charged a high price. With the experience of Aunt Liu, everyone knew that people would not buy seafood if the quality was not good, so they picked it extra carefully.
Not to mention those that are dead or smelly, even those with broken shells have to be picked out. You get what you pay for.
Chen Guilan was greedy for petty gains and was reluctant to let her fellow villagers make even a little money. She went to the beach to fish for her own family, which not only exhausted the whole family, but also did not calculate the time well. The fish was not fresh, and the product was far inferior if there were any details missing.
The person who got sick from the food just now had a loud voice. When he shouted like that, everyone knew that Chen Guilan’s food was no longer fresh, and they all lined up at Rutang’s place.
This is how business works, people like to gather together. The more there are Rutangna stalls, the quieter Chen Guilan's stall becomes.
Chen Guilan never thought that there were so many tricks to selling fried seafood. In her mind, just standing here was like picking up money, and business would continue to flow in.
It is indeed a continuous supply, but it is Chen Rutang’s stall!
Chen Guilan shouted at the top of her voice in desperation: "My food is cheap, 5 cents a serving! Don't buy from the unscrupulous vendors!"
This is another price reduction.
Rutang was busy frying seafood. When she heard Chen Guilan being so shameless, the corners of her mouth twitched.
"It's a relative who has suffered the most. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been beaten a long time ago, right?" said Sister Zhang, who sells tea eggs.
She had just learned from Rutang about the relationship between Rutang and Chen Guilan. She never expected that there was such a relative who was so jealous of others.
"Haha, let her do it." Yu Yaoyang said as he collected the money. His attitude aroused Sister Zhang's curiosity.
"Yangzi, you are not usually such an easy-going person, are you? She's like this, and you can still tolerate it?" Sister Zhang still remembers the scene when she first met Yu Yaoyang. This guy has a bad temper.
According to his personality, he should go over and overturn Chen Guilan's stall and then beat her up, right? In the end, you just endure it?
"I'm a man with a family now, how can I be so immature?" After saying this, Yu Yaoyang looked at Rutang deeply, feeling itchy inside.
He wanted to beat her, but she gave him too much...
Just now, Rutang pulled him and whispered in his ear, asking him not to do anything, and then after closing the stall, they would find a deserted place and let him repeat what they did when they were walking in the park.
Yu Yaoyang stared at Rutang's little mouth, his eyes darkened, and the murderous emotion in his heart was reduced by more than half. Haha, a real man, how could he not tolerate such a thing?
If he is not allowed to beat her in front of her, he will just wait for a time when no one is around. He is determined to kiss that little girl's mouth anyway!
"Oh, Rutang, what's wrong with you?" Sister Zhang noticed that Rutang's lower lip was slightly broken and asked casually.
Rutang's face turned red.
Can she tell me what she did in the park yesterday?
"Are you getting irritated? Hey, drink more water. Who wouldn't get irritated when having relatives like this?" Sister Zhang didn't think anything else and just thought that Rutang and Chen Guilan were getting irritated.
Chen Guilan has been shouting for a long time on the opposite side, five cents a portion, trying to attract people by lowering the price. There is a long queue on the Rutang side, and some people are eager to try, wanting to get a bargain, but a few local old ladies don't buy anything, but stand by and gossip, telling everyone that the seafood on the opposite side is smelly, and that eating seafood is not fresh will give you diarrhea~
These old ladies are the ones who bought Ru Tang chili sauce. They have a lot of time on weekdays, so they come over to watch Ru Tang fry seafood and learn from her. Occasionally, they even try a few to get a bargain.
The old ladies had just tried to get close to Chen Guilan and asked for a few to try, but Chen Guilan scolded them back. She looked down on these old ladies who were obviously taking advantage of others.
It feels great when you curse, but the retribution comes quickly.
These old ladies may not appreciate being nice to you, but if you dare to offend them, you will definitely not have an easy time. The old ladies spontaneously formed a propaganda team and told everyone they met that Chen Guilan was not good and Rutang's business was better.
As usual, the ten kilograms were sold out quickly, and Ru Tang and Yu Yaoyang packed up their stall and prepared to buy beer.
Chen Guilan's fire was out. No one was buying anything. She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. Her throat felt like it was smoking. Looking at Rutang's booming business, she was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.
Rutang packed up his stall and left, ignoring Chen Guilan from beginning to end. He even felt uncomfortable making eye contact with her.
Chen Guilan was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
The sun was scorching and the temperature was gradually rising. The pot of seafood she brought gradually gave off a pungent smell under the high temperature.
There was no one at the train station and the streets were deserted. Chen Guilan was confused. They were all selling the same seafood, so what was the difference between her and others?
While Chen Guilan was still confused about why she couldn't ship the goods, Rutang and his wife had already taken the beer and rushed to the cannery.
There were more people exchanging cans for beer today than yesterday. In just a short while, the young couple received more than fifty cans.
These were all prepared long ago after hearing that Rutang could exchange cans. There was no point in having the cans piled up in their hands, as they were soon almost sold out. Yu Yaoyang began to pack up the stall. Rutang noticed a few women standing in front of him. They were wearing uniforms from the brewery and looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Rutang asked.
