Chapter 48 Beyond Imagination
Shen Yueyao prepared disposable chopsticks.
They are rough chopsticks made from tree branches, but the outer skin is peeled off and they are very smooth. They are also sterilized by boiling them in hot water in a pot, so they can be used.
She brought a lot of chopsticks.
I made a small bowl and put some in it so that everyone could pick it up with chopsticks and taste it.
"It's free to taste. You can eat it without worrying about it. I've also come to the morning market to set up a stall and buy breakfast before. Some old customers may recognize me."
A woman said, "Ms. Shen, I recognize you. I've bought roujiamo from you twice before. I was watching you save someone yesterday. You're amazing! You saved a life."
"I know about this, and I was curious about who it was. It turned out to be you, my dear. You are a kind person, and your food must be delicious. I'll try it first and buy it if it tastes good."
"Let me try it first."
"Let me try it too..."
"Give me a pair of chopsticks..."
At this moment, people started to eat one after another.
Everyone who tasted it was stunned.
"Wow, this is so delicious."
"This stuff is so chewy and delicious. It's really a meat pâté. It smells good, but you'll know how delicious it is when you eat it."
"Give me a can quickly, little lady. I want to buy one. It's so cheap that I have to buy it."
"It's delicious, really delicious. I can't describe the taste. It's a little spicy, but it tastes so refreshing."
Everyone who has tried it says it’s delicious and raves about it, and they all buy it without hesitation.
Shen Yueyao said: "This small jar is four cents, and the large jar is eight cents. The price will return to the original price tomorrow."
"I want a big jar. Here, eight cents."
Su Erya was still in a daze, completely unaware. Everyone bought it just now?
We have just set up the stall.
But she reacted quickly and helped collect the money with swift hands and feet.
During the time she studied with her third aunt, she was taught Arabic numerals, some formulas to recite, and how to do quick calculations.
She knows everything.
What's more, there is no need to calculate the bill, just collect it directly.
The big jar costs eight cents, and the small jar costs four cents.
The copper coins quickly clattered into the purse, and with the slightest movement, there was a clattering sound inside.
Just hearing this voice, Erya felt happy.
This sound is so nice.
At this moment, she was both excited and thrilled.
Soon, the big jar was gone.
"I'm sorry, we're out of the big jar. If you like it, you can buy two small jars, which are also eight cents."
"Then buy two bottles."
Shen Yueyao didn't expect that everyone would praise it so much after tasting it and come to buy it.
Also, because she saved someone yesterday, some people recognized her, thought she was a nice person, and were willing to buy her things.
Shen Yueyao hadn't expected such an effect.
As expected, the guests recognize your character, think you are kind, and trust what you do.
It's just like an advertisement.
Even when selling roujiamo, the speed is not this fast.
When selling roujiamo, everyone tried it for free, some bought it and some didn’t.
But this meat sauce is delicious to everyone, regardless of gender, age or status.
The key is this meat sauce. Such a small bite feels like you can eat two bites of steamed buns. It’s such a good deal.
Indeed, if you buy a can, you can eat it for half a month without cooking.
Forty small gourd jars and eight large gourd jars were all sold out in a little over a quarter of an hour (almost twenty minutes).
Even Shen Yueyao didn't expect this.
There were still chopsticks on the side and something to taste, but the meat sauce was gone.
"It's really delicious, little lady, I'll buy a can too."
Shen Yueyao said apologetically: "Sorry, big sister, all the chili meat sauce is sold out, so I only brought those. But I will come to set up a stall tomorrow and bring more. If you want to buy, come early tomorrow."
The young woman looked disappointed when she heard this. "It's sold out so quickly?"
She just bought all the vegetables before coming over to check, and in just a short while, all the chili pork sauce was gone?
"So soon?"
I have never seen a stall closed so quickly after setting up one.
"But it will be more expensive tomorrow, you said it's on sale today."
Shen Yueyao said: "Thank you all for supporting my business. So, I will give discounts for the first three days, but after three days, I really can't give discounts. I run a small business, and you can see that there are a lot of meat pieces in it."
The young woman also knew that this chili meat sauce was indeed cheap.
The bean paste noodle sauce you buy in the store is so expensive, and it’s not as delicious as this.
She couldn't help but taste it again with a chopstick, and felt like her saliva was about to come out.
But I didn’t buy it, and I really wanted to eat it.
"Okay, then. Be sure to leave me a big jar tomorrow."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Okay."
Then several more people came over to ask.
Shen Yueyao always said the same thing, explaining with a smile, and said that there would be a discount for the first three days, so everyone who came to ask would take another sip, and the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat.
The taste is indeed delicious and fragrant.
Six workers had bought some meat sauce and were walking back happily.
"Now we can eat dry food at noon."
"Don't say it, take a bite, now your tongue is spicy and hot."
"Before, I felt that dry food was too heavy to carry, and I just ate it with water. It felt like eating was a task, but after buying this, I now look forward to lunch."
"Yes, I brought some steamed bread with me, and we can eat it with it at noon."
"Our boss provides meals, but the five-cent lunch is just watery soup. It's not worth it. We might as well buy this meat sauce. It will last us a long time and is more cost-effective."
"Yes, it's a good deal. Let's all find a place and eat this meat sauce together at noon."
Everyone walked back chatting and laughing, looking forward to lunch time.
In addition, several guys in the grain store looked at them and expressed their disapproval at the fact that they bought whatever sauce they wanted.
The three people looked over here and discussed: "Did they really go shopping?"
"Four cents for some meat sauce? It's a rip-off. The meat is so expensive, but they're just unsophisticated and think it's a good thing."
"Alright, it's not easy for everyone to come out and work, so stop making things up for others. If we weren't in the grain store, where the owner is kind and doesn't lack food, do you think he would be able to provide us with food?"
Although the meals provided were not very good, they were better than those in the cloth shop. The cloth shop charged for the meals, so people usually did not spend that money in the store at noon and brought their own dry food.
However, the dry food they brought with them had to be eaten with water, which had no taste and was cold. After a long time, some people developed stomach problems.
"Look, aren't those the two brothers from the carriage and horse business? Why did they buy something too? That thing is so delicious!"
Many people are skeptical.
…
Shen Yueyao didn't know this, but the meat sauce sold well, beyond her imagination.
She and Su Erya started to pack up their stall.
Su Erya's mouth corners kept rising in excitement, and she grinned.
"Aunt San, we earned two hundred and twenty-four coins today."
Su Erya was so excited that she earned so much money in such a short time.
