Chapter 42 He Dreams
"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. Let's avoid such things in the future. We just need to do our best." Ji Zhisui comforted Pei's second sister-in-law.
In modern times, she has many popular videos, and many people imitate and create their own videos based on her popular videos. If she took all these things to heart, she would probably have exhausted herself to death long ago.
She looked in the direction of Chen Wu and said, "Brother Chen, could you please show me the burrito you bought?"
Chen Wu had no objection and handed the burrito he had bought and only taken a bite of to Ji Zhisui.
Ji Zhisui only took one look and felt the difference between the two wraps. The wrapper in his hand was thicker and there was less food inside. No wonder the other party dared to lower the price so much.
The total cost of making a vegetarian wrap for her is only one penny.
If she had gotten angry at the other party's provocation and started to challenge him by lowering the price of the burrito, she would have fallen into the other party's trap.
It is easy to lower the price but difficult to raise it. She cannot make any money from a one-cent burrito, so she can give up on her own without anyone else helping her; or she can reduce the quality of the burritos like the other party, but these two are not the results she wants.
All she could do now was concentrate on making the burritos and ignore the other party's provocation.
Although some people went to buy cheaper wraps, there were still many diners at her stall. Many caring diners comforted her, supported her, and condemned the short and fat lady's immoral behavior.
Ji Zhisui felt a warm feeling in her heart. These voices were very similar to those of the fans who had always supported her.
"Miss Ji, please make me five meat rolls and two vegetable rolls." Chen Wu ordered seven in one breath.
Thinking that he would never be able to eat delicious burritos again, he wanted to eat as much as he could in one go!
"Brother Chen, why did you order so much? We can't finish it."
"My dear, our merchant ship will leave Qizhou County tomorrow. I may never be able to eat the wraps you make again." The more Chen Wu spoke, the sadder he became.
"Brother Chen, how long does it take you to make a merchant ship trip?"
"It's hard to say. Sometimes it takes one or two months, and if you go to a lot of places, it can take half a year."
Ji Zhisui did not stop wrapping the pancake, but his mind was full of thoughts.
She placed the finished burrito in front of Chen Wu, "Brother Chen, your burrito is ready."
Everything was peaceful on their side, but it was noisy on the short and fat lady's side.
Although she attracted many diners with low prices, those diners only bought one and wanted to try it first.
After trying the burrito, they started to have opinions.
"Boss, this burrito you made is too disgusting!"
"That's right! The crust is thick, but why is there so little meat inside?"
"Get out of here! Stop talking nonsense! Why are my burritos so bad?" The short and fat lady was already annoyed when she heard someone slandering her burritos, and she started cursing.
"Look at the shredded pork in here, you can count them on one hand! It's really unfair for you to do business like this!" The shredded pork in the bread was so little that he felt that the two cents were not worth it at all.
"What's so unauthentic about that? Don't you understand the principle of 'you get what you pay for'? You expect to eat something delicious for just two cents? Give me a dozen more cents, and I guarantee the pancake will be filled with meat!"
The short and fat lady curled her lips in disdain. A pound of meat costs more than thirty cents. What a poor wretch! How much meat do you want to eat for just two cents?
Not only is he poor, but he also complains in front of me!
"Please move aside, I still have business to do." Who cares, there are many people queuing behind me, don't delay my business.
Although it was a respectful title, the other party did not show any respect at all. Both the words and the look in his eyes revealed that he looked down on him.
Men hate being looked down upon the most in their lives. How dare a street vendor bully him!
"Don't buy the burritos from this shop. The crust is thick and there are not enough meat or vegetables. It tastes terrible!" He was so angry that he started yelling.
"What do you mean?" The short and fat lady was anxious now, looking at the man with wide eyes.
"Is it unpalatable and you're not allowed to say it?"
"How much meat do you want to eat for just two cents? You're dreaming!"
…
The two began to curse at each other.
The people queuing behind were hesitant to go after seeing this scene and hearing those words.
Some people returned to Ji Zhisui's stall. Miss Ji was still better. She made delicious cakes and was a gentle person.
Under the comparison with the other party, all the spring rolls at Ji Zhisui's stall were sold out. When he was about to close the stall, he was stopped by someone.
"Miss Ji, wait a minute!"
She looked up and saw a regular customer of the burrito stand in front of her.
"My dear lady, my name is Xiao Qihang. I'm a shipping businessman. I'd like to ask you for help with something." Xiao Qihang introduced himself with a smile on his handsome face.
Pei Yian paused while packing his things, his eyes fell on the man in front of him. Just talk about business, why smile so brightly? This man's eyes were not so innocent either.
"Is there something wrong?" Ji Zhisui asked in confusion.
"Our merchant ship is leaving tomorrow, and I'd like to order thirty burritos. Could you please deliver them to me, young lady? Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. These burritos are so delicious, I want to keep them and enjoy them later."
Xiao Qihang wished he could stay in Qizhou County for a long time so that he could eat delicious spring rolls every day.
"Mr. Xiao, I can prepare this burrito for you, but it will go bad if left for too long."
Xiao Qihang's smile faded a little. How could he have forgotten that the weather would get hotter and hotter? He couldn't help but murmur, "Miss Ji, it would be great if you could come with our merchant ship."
This way you can eat burritos anytime without worrying about them going bad.
"impossible."
Xiao Qihang had just finished speaking when he was severely refuted.
Pei Yian looked at the man with sharp dissatisfaction. He was not as good-looking as her, nor as tall as her, and he still wanted Sui Niang to go with him? He was simply dreaming!
"This...this, young lady...I was just kidding." Xiao Qihang was a little embarrassed. He didn't know why he expressed his thoughts and was rejected by the young lady's family.
Ji Zhisui glanced at Pei Yian. Why was he so upset? He stepped in to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Xiao, although I can't run a merchant ship, I can help you prepare some food that can be stored for a while. It tastes pretty good. I just don't know if you are willing to do it."
"Yes, yes, of course I do!" Xiao Qihang didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. He believed in Miss Ji's craftsmanship and believed that the things she made would definitely be good. He was so excited that he stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with her.
A slender hand reached out and shook it gently, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao, for taking care of my wife's business."
