Chapter 067: Which young man in the village is so shy?
"Fifteen cents is a bit expensive, can you make it cheaper, little girl?"
In the crowd, some people felt that the things were too expensive and wanted to bargain, but how could Su Wan lower the price just like that?
This is the bottom line and we have to stick to it. Once you agree to it the first time, there will be a second time.
"Big sister, this isn't expensive. My snacks are more delicious than those on the market, and they're larger in portion. They're very cost-effective. And look at the ingredients I use, they're very expensive. You have to let us make a little profit, right?"
When Su Wan mentioned the market, he did not specify Liufangzhai, so he did not offend anyone.
Those who have more money think the price is pretty good, so they pay more quickly.
"Give me two copies first."
“I want one too!”
People started spending money because they had tasted the food and only bought it if they thought it tasted good and had a good price-performance ratio.
Among them were some slaves who came out to buy things for the landlords. Most of them worked in the kitchen. When they saw some new snacks on the market, they would buy two and take them back for their masters to try, in order to curry favor and get rewards.
They buy several copies at a time. Since they have a rich master, they are very generous.
Everyone was there to watch the fun, and when they saw so many people gathered around Su Wan, many of them came over to join in the fun. When they saw that everyone had bought something, some people followed suit and spent money inexplicably while just watching the fun.
This is just like watching live broadcasts in modern times, you spend money while watching...
Su Wan's guess was correct. The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more people will go to the streets. This is not a big deal. After a while, there will be even more.
They won't come every day. There are four markets a month, and this is the first one. They just come on market days.
She was very busy here, so she asked Jiang Yu to be responsible for collecting the money and make sure to count it clearly so as not to do business at a loss.
Jiang Yu is clear-headed and very serious when collecting money. He will only let you, Su Wan, give it to the customer after counting the money for both portions.
But in less than an hour, the cakes they brought were almost sold out.
The next market is in seven days, and I don’t know what the situation is with my third brother and the others.
There are only about thirty copies left now, and there are not as many people as at the beginning, so I'll just sell them slowly!
Jiang Yujian was no longer busy, so he told Su Wan that he was leaving for a while.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry to leave you for a moment." He didn't say the reason, because he knew Su Wan wouldn't ask too many questions.
Sure enough, Su Wan nodded and asked nothing.
"I'll be back soon, wait for me!"
Jiang Yu was still a little hesitant. He left her here alone, worried that she might get into trouble.
"Go ahead, I'm fine!"
Su Wan knew that he still had subordinates in Qinghe County, so he should have gone there to report his safety. After all, he had been missing for more than two months.
The people of Qinghe County are very simple and enthusiastic. There is a good official in charge here, so not only are the people here simple and honest, but the public security is also very good. Because the lives of the people are generally acceptable, there are not many people who do bad things.
After Jiang Yu left, several more waves of people came and sold out all the remaining shaqi ma.
Su Wan just stayed there and waited for him obediently. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Jiang Yu would leave, and he couldn't stay in this small county town forever.
Two more portions were cut for tasting, and ninety packets of shaqima were sold for thirteen taels of silver and fifty coins.
…
Su Chen went to the nearest village to Yangaoao, which was right next to Yangaoao. This village was much larger than theirs and had more people. It took him half an hour to walk here.
On the road, many people looked at his unfamiliar face, who was tall and handsome.
In the surrounding area, there are always many families with daughters of marriageable age. When they see a boy like this, they can't help but take a look.
Su Chen was still a little embarrassed, so he found a crowded place and stopped.
He put the things there and took out the shaqi mak that he had prepared for tasting.
Everyone was looking at him, pointing, and whispering, which made his social anxiety even more suffocating.
But thinking of what his master said and Wanwan's expectations of him, he felt that he could not hold her back. If he couldn't sell the things, he would be embarrassed to go back.
So he tried to start shouting:
"Um, selling...selling cakes!"
His voice was a little low, and his face turned red when he said this.
If there hadn't been some curious people who came over to watch the fun, he would have been even more embarrassed.
"What are you talking about, young man?"
The old lady asked him a question, and when she saw someone coming, Su Chen quickly answered while the iron was hot:
"Um, Auntie, I'm here to sell cakes!"
“Whatever you sell”
The old lady put her ear close to ask, Su Chen's voice just now was not small, there was no reason why he couldn't hear it.
He was lucky, as he met a hard-of-hearing lady as soon as he arrived.
So, he could only shout even louder:
"Auntie, buy some cakes, they are delicious, try some."
He said this seriously and handed over the sample. The old lady heard it and reached out to take it and eat it.
At this time, other people also came over and tried Shachima together.
There are quite a lot of people here chatting and gossiping. Now that they don’t have to go to the fields to work, they gather together to chat and gossip for no reason.
In a moment, both samples of Shachima were finished, and everyone showed a surprised expression.
This pastry is delicious, sweet and soft, and it contains dried red dates and raisins!
Su Chen watched them eat everything, but no one asked the price.
Just when he was extremely anxious and didn't know how to start, someone asked:
"Hey young man, what's the name of this cake of yours? How much is it?"
Su Chen saw hope and quickly replied:
"My cake is called Shaqima. I make it myself. It's very clean. It's only 15 cents a piece, which is a good deal. It's almost Chinese New Year, so you can buy some to take home for the elderly and children, or take it to visit relatives. Everyone should give it a try!"
He poured out the words that Su Wan had taught him like pouring out beans, as if he was reciting a lesson. His speech was a little fast, and sweat broke out on his forehead. His face was red from head to toe.
Everyone laughed at the young man, and some even joked:
"Hey, which village is this young man from? He's so shy! Look, his face is all red!"
"Auntie, I'm from Yangao." Su Chen answered honestly.
Everyone burst into laughter, laughing at his honesty.
"So you're from Yangaoao, so it's close by. Are you engaged? There are many hardworking and pretty girls in our village. Would you like to meet some?"
Faced with such a handsome young man who looks healthy, the rural people's standards for choosing a son-in-law are like this: he must be able to work, handsome, and motivated.
Su Chen is also running a small business, which is of course attractive.
Su Chen was almost embarrassed to death. How could selling Shaqima be linked to the matter of engagement?
"Alright, alright, stop teasing the young man. If you like someone, just ask around yourself and ask a matchmaker to get him/her the deal." An old man came to the rescue, and Su Chen felt as if he had been pardoned.
