Lu Jingchuan looked back at Shen Li every few steps. He was reluctant and stood up to leave.

…

After Lu Jingchuan left, Shen Li and the two children sat on the chairs behind the table, waiting for passers-by.

During this time, a passing lady walked over curiously, "What are these things on display... There are strawberries... There are mangoes? There are pineapples, and there are grapes?"

This name sounds quite fresh.

"How do you sell this? How much is it?" the aunt asked curiously.

Looking at the crystal clear, colorful preserved fruits placed on the small plates and smelling the sour and sweet aroma of the fresh preserved fruits, my mother subconsciously began to salivate.

"Mom, all these flavors are the same price, 2.5 yuan for half a pound." Shen Li said with a smile.

"What? 2.5 yuan for half a catty? That means 5 yuan for a catty!" The mother's face changed. "Pork is only one yuan for a catty! Why is it so expensive?"

"It's a bit expensive, but there's a reason why it's expensive." Shen Li said with a smile.

"What the hell! I think you are just trying to cheat people out of money!" The aunt snorted coldly, "You are selling it at such a high price, no one will buy it! I advise you to pack up your things and leave!"

"If you don't buy them, there are plenty of people who will." Lu Minghui said with a stern face, "My mom will definitely be able to sell them all!"

"That's right! The preserved fruits in our house are delicious!" Duoduo said in a baby voice.

Thinking about how expensive preserved fruits are, Duoduo is reluctant to eat them even though she is very greedy.

After all, it costs almost 10 cents to eat one.

She was afraid of eating her mother out of money.

"Humph, it would be strange if anyone bought it!" said the aunt, and she stood up and left.

After the old lady left, many people came over and walked around the shop.

Shen Li's beauty itself is an attraction to everyone, plus there are two children sitting next to her. The little girl is wearing a beautiful and fashionable pink princess dress with two pigtails, looking well-behaved and cute, while the little boy is wearing a simple white vest, blue pants and sandals, with wheat-colored skin. He sits there meticulously, like a steady little expert, handsome and cool, and therefore the booth attracts many people.

Everyone was very curious about the preserved fruits in the bowl. After all, it was the first time for them to see such a rare thing during the New Year.

However, when asked about the price, everyone shook their heads, saying it was too expensive.

Shen Li smiled and curled her lips. "Fellow villagers, you get what you pay for. The preserved fruits you see are made from the freshest fruits on the island. One kilogram of preserved fruits requires at least ten kilograms of fresh fruits. The production manual is displayed here."

"Of course, everyone can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."

"Want to taste the food?" Some people's eyes lit up when they heard the word "tasting".

"Yes, it's delicious." Shen Li said. She had prepared it long ago. She prepared a small bowl with four squares, which contained chopped preserved fruits. Each flavor was placed in a different small grid, and some small toothpicks were placed next to it. "Everyone can try it for free once."

Originally, the guys were about to leave, but when they heard about the free tasting, they became more excited.

If you don’t take advantage of a good opportunity, you’re a bastard!

“I want to try it!”

“I want one too!”

“I want to eat too!”

"Okay, don't be anxious, just line up one by one." Shen Li smiled.

The first person to taste the food was a little boy. He was held in his grandmother's arms. He opened his mouth and ate a small piece of preserved fruit. Then he opened his eyes wide in disbelief and swallowed the preserved fruit mixed with saliva. "It's delicious! Grandma, I want more!"

"But this is too expensive..."

"Wow... I want to eat, I want to eat!" The little boy struggled with his hands and feet to get out of his grandmother's arms, and kept patting his grandmother's shoulders and face with his hands.

It is said that the next generation is close, and this old lady is no exception. She compromised helplessly, "Okay, little ancestor, I'm really afraid of you, so why not buy it for you!"

But one pound is too expensive.

"Comrade, please give me half a pound." The old lady said helplessly.

"Okay." Shen Li said with a smile, "What flavor do you want to buy?"

"This..." The old lady was also unclear and looked at her grandson.

When Sun heard that he was going to buy something delicious for him, he immediately stopped making noise and said, "I want to try it too!"

"My dear! Our family doesn't have that much money!" The old lady said with a stern face.

"I'll give you a half-pound mixed pack with all four flavors." Shen Li said with a chuckle.

"Okay." The old lady took out two yuan and fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to Shen Li.

Lu Minghui stood up to take the money, while Duoduo, wearing a disposable transparent five-finger glove on her little hands, helped Shen Li to grab the preserved fruits.

Soon, everything was ready, and Shen Li handed the preserved fruits to them.

"Look, look!" For her mother's business, Duoduo took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, put her little hand to her mouth and shouted like a little trumpet, "Super delicious preserved fruit!"

Seeing some people trying the food and buying it, others also came over to try it.

Some people just wanted to give it a try, but after taking a bite, they found that it tasted so good!

"Give me half a pound!"

"I want half a pound too!"

"We have a promotion for preserved fruits. Buy one pound and get one pound free. Buy two pounds and get half a pound free," said Shen Li.

"Give me two pounds!"

"I want two kilograms too!"

"I'll take one pound!"

For a while, everyone gathered around the stall, scrambling to buy.

Soon, all the preserved fruits on the stall were sold out.

People who had queued up to try the food wanted to buy it, but it was sold out.

“When will you set up the stall again?” Those who didn’t buy anything expressed some regret.

"If you want to buy, you can pay a deposit today. I will continue to set up the stall here tomorrow, and those who have paid the deposit can come to pick up the goods. This way, you don't have to queue up and can buy directly." Shen Li said.

"I will set up a stall here for three days, and after three days, I will no longer set up a stall."

"This preserved fruit is produced on our island, that is, it is produced by the army on the island. In three days, we will cooperate with several larger supermarkets in the town. If you want to buy it, please contact the supermarket to ask if they have our preserved fruit."

"Okay, then I'll pay the deposit!"

"I'll pay too!"

Those who tried the food paid a deposit one by one.

Shen Li gave everyone who paid the deposit a small card with a number and the island logo printed on it. When the time came, everyone could come to collect the preserved fruits with the small card.

The two kids' hands were cramping from collecting money, and their faces were sweaty from being so busy.
