Pei Yuezhi was beautiful, and her smile was like a spring breeze. Her cousin-in-law was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking that Xiu Yuan's wife was really beautiful.
"Ahem, it's good that you know how to manage your life. If there's anything I can help with, I'll do it if I can."
"Thank you, cousin-in-law. Come to my house for dinner another day." Pei Yuezhi still had a smile on her face.
The journey to the town wasn't far, only about twenty minutes. When they got off the bus, Pei Yuezhi got off first, and then struggled a bit to carry the basket. The original owner of this body was rather weak, and carrying this basket, which weighed over ten kilograms, was quite strenuous.
A pair of hands reached out from her side and easily took the basket down. Pei Yuezhi turned her head and saw that it was her cousin-in-law.
Pei Yuezhi quickly thanked her, but her cousin-in-law waved her hand and said, "You're too weak. No need to thank me. I'm strong enough."
"I was about to ask you this, but there were too many people on the bus, so I didn't say anything. Even though this basket is covered with a cotton cloth, you can still smell a fragrance. What kind of pancake can smell so good?" My cousin-in-law asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I just experimented with some sauce and brushed it on, and it tasted pretty good. I call it savory sauce pancake. Next time my cousin-in-law comes over, I'll make it for you to try," Pei Yuezhi replied.
It's not that I'm unwilling to give my cousin-in-law a gift, it's just that it would be a bit too enthusiastic, and besides, she's carrying heavy things, which is really inconvenient. Moreover, I want to complete the system task as soon as possible.
The two walked side by side for a while, then parted ways as they approached the market.
This was Pei Yuezhi's first time seeing a market like this. Actually, it didn't seem that different from what she saw on TV, except that the town wasn't very big and it wasn't as lively.
After finding an empty spot and confirming that no one was there, Pei Yuezhi put the basket down.
I'm a little embarrassed, I've never done this before, this is really my first time. I'm going all out to make money!
"Savory savory pancake! Delicious savory savory pancake, a one-of-a-kind savory savory pancake!" Pei Yuezhi mustered her courage, but her voice was still not loud. She couldn't help it; she was really embarrassed!
"Kid, you can't sell things with such a loud voice," a kind old man selling candied hawthorns nearby reminded him.
He couldn't buy many candied hawthorns in a day, mainly because sugar was expensive and not many people were willing to buy them. He just sat on the steps next to him like a spectator, looking around.
I happened to see this girl selling her goods, and she wasn't shouting loudly, so I kindly came over to remind her.
"Oh, sir, I know I should speak louder, but I've never sold anything before, so I'm really a little embarrassed," Pei Yuezhi said awkwardly.
Pei Yuezhi is alright in every way, except she's a little socially awkward. It was her first time setting up a stall, and she was a bit embarrassed to shout loudly.
"You call this a savory sauce pancake, right?" After she nodded, the old man started shouting loudly, "Savory sauce pancake! Super fragrant savory sauce pancake! One of a kind!"
The sudden loud noise startled Pei Yuezhi; this old man was really kind.
"Old Zhao, you're selling pancakes again?" an auntie asked curiously as she came over.
The old man selling candied hawthorns, whom she called Old Zhao, said with a smile, "I'm not selling them. This child is selling pancakes, and I'm just helping him promote them."
The aunt chuckled: "Old Zhao, you're quite kind-hearted. What kind of one-of-a-kind pancake is this? How much does it cost?"
Seeing a customer approaching, Pei Yuezhi quickly introduced, "Auntie, this is a savory savory pancake. The secret sauce is spread on the pancake, it's so delicious, I'm sure you'll like it. It's five coins a serving, and the portion is quite large."
As he spoke, he took out a lotus leaf package, opened it, and showed it to the aunt. As soon as it was opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out. The crust was golden and fluffy with wrinkles, making it look different from other pancakes. The sauce brushed on top was also very appealing.
"This pancake looks good, and the portion is quite large, but the price..." The aunt hesitated.
Before Pei Yuezhi could speak, Grandpa Zhao interrupted, "Oh, young lady, this pancake is as big as two baked flatbreads, and it's really delicious. Why don't you try it? It's not expensive."
"Okay, I'll trust you then. Give me one, kid."
Pei Yuezhi quickly wrapped it up and handed it to her aunt.
After her aunt left, Pei Yuezhi quickly thanked the old man, who waved his hand happily.
"Girl, give me one of these pancakes." A scholar-looking man came over to buy pancakes.
Pei Yuezhi quickly collected the money and gave the cakes.
Setting up a stall here is more difficult than she imagined. Almost half an hour has passed, and she has only sold two portions.
Sigh, doing business is so hard.
"Child, give me one of these pancakes." Seeing Pei Yuezhi sighing, Grandpa Zhao felt a little sorry for her.
Pei Yuezhi took the pancake: "Grandpa, you've been helping me promote it for so long, so please take this pancake and eat it."
Without saying a word, Grandpa Zhao placed the money on the cotton cloth: "This is your first time doing business, so just give me whatever amount is due. I have plenty of money."
The old man took the pancake and started eating. He was the first customer to try a pancake in front of her, so she couldn't help but stare at him expectantly.
"Delicious! Child, this pancake has layers inside, and the sauce is savory and delicious. It's really good!" After tasting a piece, Grandpa Zhao gave Pei Yuezhi a thumbs up.
"Flavorful savory pancake! Delicious flavorful savory pancake!" Grandpa Zhao shouted excitedly again.
"Right here, this is the pancake that this girl sells!" A small group of people suddenly surrounded her, and Pei Yuezhi thought she had done something wrong.
These people were all dressed as scholars, and the one in front was the one who had just bought the pancakes here.
"Girl, your pancakes are so delicious! I bought some, but they were all gone! Give me another one!"
"I want one too!"
"This pancake tastes amazing, we've never had anything like it before, I want two!"
"I want one too, I want one too."
......
In just a short while, most of the pancakes were sold. After everyone left, Pei Yuezhi counted them and found that there were still eight portions left in the basket.
This surprise came suddenly, which also illustrates the importance of this walking billboard.
However, with the student customers of this academy, they have a stable source of customers.
Just then, this group of scholars gathered around buying cakes, which made passersby curious, so they came over and bought a few.
With lunchtime almost over, these few pancakes probably won't sell well, so taking them home to eat won't be a waste.
Just as I was about to pack up and leave, I saw that the steamed bun vendor in front of me had closed up early. Two men were going to buy steamed buns when they were told that they had something to do at home that day and didn't have many steamed buns left, so they had to leave.
Seeing this, Pei Yuezhi called out to the two men, "Brothers, are you looking to buy some food? I have a unique savory pancake here, would you like to take a look?"
Although I'm too embarrassed to shout, I have no problem communicating normally.
"Yes, I finished work late today, and the stalls were almost closed. What do you have to eat?" the two asked as they approached.
Pei Yuezhi took out a savory pancake and opened it to show the two of them. They had finished work late and were already starving. Looking at the appetizing pancake, they swallowed hard.
"Five coins a serving, delicious with soy sauce," Pei Yuezhi promoted.
"Then give me one, let me try it." One of them took out five coins and handed it over.
