Chapter 017 This face is definitely lost
Her pleasant voice, pretty face and infectious smile soon attracted the first customer, a middle-aged woman in her forties who was dressed quite decently.
After comparing with several vendors selling pine mushrooms on the scene, it turned out that only hers looked fresher, and they were intact and beautiful, with moisture on them. Mountain products are all about freshness, so the aunt decided to buy hers immediately.
"How much is one pound? Give me two pounds!"
"Sister, it's two cents per pound. You can choose it yourself. I'll ask my brother to weigh it for you after we're done!" Su Wan was sweet-mouthed, and she made people laugh by calling her sister.
"You little girl, you are so sweet-talking. I am old enough to be your mother, but you still call me sister!" Although she said this, she was very happy in her heart.
"You are young, so I was right to call you that!"
People in the county would go to the market with their own baskets to buy vegetables. She started to pick pine mushrooms on the plate on the scale.
"Fourth brother, I don't know how to use the scale, you do it!"
Su Yun was sitting cross-legged beside her. He glanced at her when he heard what she said, but said nothing and went to weigh the items honestly. He thought to himself, how can you do business if you don't know how?
"More than two pounds and two ounces!" Su Yun reached out to skim off the excess, but was interrupted by Su Wan, who directly poured all the pine mushrooms into the aunt's basket.
"It's just two taels, I'll give it to you!"
"Oh, the little girl is really good at doing business!" The aunt was coaxed by her and smiled happily.
Su Yun curled his lips and thought to himself that she was good at pleasing others. The aunt happily paid four cents. It was the first time she felt so comfortable spending money.
A few more aunties came to buy vegetables and stopped at Chen Yinghong's stall to ask the price. The auntie turned around and saw an old acquaintance, so she greeted:
"Aunt Zhang, Mama Liu, Grandma Zhao, you guys are here to buy mushrooms too. Come over here! The mushrooms here are big and fresh!"
"Yeah, it's not time yet, let's buy some to satisfy our cravings! There's nothing else to eat, so we'll just buy some fresh and cheap ones!" They had already started to weigh Chen Yinghong's mushrooms, but when they turned around and heard someone they knew, they went to Su Wan's side.
I came over to take a look, and it was true. The ones here are bigger and fresher!
Su Wan greeted them sweetly, then arranged for them to choose for themselves. They hadn't been allowed to choose elsewhere, fearing the goods might get spoiled, but here they could choose for themselves, which made them feel relieved. Each of them bought two catties, and Su Wan gave them two taels as a gift. These deals were successfully negotiated, and they instantly earned sixteen cents.
Chen Yinghong was almost angry to death, but because of Su Yun, she could only grit her teeth secretly.
There were not many people buying mushrooms. This time I carried more than 40 kilograms, but they sat here for a long time. Except for the first few orders and the next order, there was no one else. He Jiaolan's business was also unsatisfactory.
As the sun is getting higher and higher, if I don't sell these mushrooms quickly, they may become stale and even fewer people will buy them. I have to think of a way.
A few minutes later, Su Wan stood up suddenly. Su Yun was almost dozing off, but was woken up by her standing up.
"What are you doing?"
"Fourth brother, do you know where the largest restaurant in our county is?" Su Wan asked.
Su Yun sneered when he heard this:
"Why, after earning a few dozen cents, you still want to go to a restaurant, and the biggest restaurant in the county?"
"Seriously, Fourth Brother, I'm not going to a restaurant, I'm doing business!"
I still have thirty kilograms of pine mushrooms waiting to be sold. I worked so hard to pick them, I can’t let them get wasted!
Su Yun didn't know what business she was going to do, and he didn't agree at first. But later, he couldn't stand her nagging, so he got up, carried the load, and took her there.
"You are such a little ancestor, I surrender!"
So, the brother and sister went to the largest drinking place in the county. Kelai Restaurant was the largest and most prosperous restaurant in the county. The waiters at the door were calling for business. The brother and sister stopped at the door, but were driven away:
"What are you doing? Go do your business somewhere else and don't block the entrance of our restaurant!"
Su Yun looked at Su Wan helplessly, the meaning of his eyes was very clear, see, you are asking for trouble!
At this time, the owner of the restaurant came out and saw the brother and sister at the door and asked the waiter what they were doing. Before the waiter could speak, Su Wan spoke first:
"Boss, I'm here to ask if your restaurant sells fresh pine mushrooms. September is here, and it's the perfect time to try them. Why don't you buy some to add to your dishes?"
As soon as Su Wan opened his mouth, the shopkeeper looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a pretty little girl. He had a daughter of about the same age, so he was reluctant to drive her away.
It just so happens that there isn't anything fancy going on recently, so since you're here, you might as well go and take a look, and like she said, add some dishes.
"I can buy some, but I don't want too much. Just a few pounds will do. These are not rare items. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell too many. Besides, the texture of pine mushrooms is not as soft and tender as shiitake mushrooms. They are a bit tough. I just want to try them for novelty!" He was willing to do business as a small vendor, which was very kind of him.
"If you think it's not tasty, it's because you didn't cook it right, but what I cook is definitely delicious!"
The shopkeeper was surprised by her answer and couldn't help but find it funny:
"You're just a little girl, yet you're so arrogant. Can the food you cook compare to the chef I paid so much for?"
"Boss, how about this? I'll show you my cooking skills right here. If you think my cooking is delicious, you can take all these pine mushrooms. You will definitely be able to sell them for a good price. If I don't cook well, I'll give them to you for free. You won't suffer any loss anyway!" This is Su Wan's real purpose. There are no bad ingredients, only chefs who cannot make the best use of the ingredients.
The shop was quiet today, and the owner was in a good mood. He wanted to see what this girl could do.
"How about adding one more thing? If your cooking isn't tasty, you have to stay and wash all the dirty dishes I've piled up. After all, you're occupying my kitchen and delaying our work. If you agree to this, I'll agree!"
When doing business, there is really no reason to suffer losses. It’s just washing dishes, Su Wan can afford it.
"Why do you have to compete with him? You worked so hard to pick these, and you just gave them away for free? You even did things for them for free. I think you're just idle. Come back with me!"
Su Yun was angry. Although his sister's relationship was not good at the moment, he would not tolerate others bullying her. So he picked up the bag and was about to leave. Su Wan quickly grabbed him:
"Fourth brother, we haven't even gone in yet, how do you know I can't? Anyway, a piece of meat is needed, so just accompany me. If I do it, it will be a matter of money!"
Looking at the brother and sister arguing with each other, the shopkeeper looked like he was watching a show.
Su Yun thought, he was doomed to lose face today anyway, no one knew him, but this little girl might behave herself after some setbacks.
