Chapter 10 Koi Buns Open the Market in Seconds
Fenghe Town.
Lin Xi found a crossroads for himself, where there was a large flow of people and the effect of hawking would be best.
In fact, Lin Xi only had a basket in his hand, and with some kraft paper he bought, the stall took up almost no space.
Looking at Xiao Yongyan beside her, Lin Xi pursed her lips and asked, "Do you really want to accompany me?"
In her opinion, Xiao Yongyan was a proper nobleman after all, and it was not appropriate for him to follow her and do these street hawking jobs.
But Xiao Yongyan was not impatient at all. Instead, he helped to lift the white cloth on the basket to reveal the beautiful koi buns inside. "I'm here to help, not to make things worse."
Lin Xi observed Xiao Yongyan's expression and felt relieved after confirming that he had no grudges when doing these things.
In fact, for Xiao Yongyan, he didn't think he had the qualifications to look down on his wife. If he was not useless, why would he bother his wife to set up a stall?
After a few days of recuperation, Lin Xi, Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi's originally pale and thin faces improved a lot.
As soon as he showed his face, many little girls around him took a fancy to Xiao Yongyan.
Seeing that the things they were selling looked special, I asked casually, "Boss, what are you selling?"
Lin Xi replied with a smile, "It's a koi-shaped bun. It tastes delicious. You guys should try it."
After saying that, Lin Xi picked up a steamed bun, tore off a piece of the fish tail and handed it to the two girls.
The two didn't hold high hopes at first, but after taking the first bite, their eyes immediately lit up. This steamed bun was not only beautiful, but also quite delicious.
"Boss, how much are your steamed buns?" one of them asked quickly.
"Thirty cents each." Lin Xi said quickly.
When the two heard the price, they gasped. Wow, just a steamed bun, but it was sold for thirty cents. That was too expensive!
Lin Xi also knew that her prices were high. "We sell them at a high price for a reason. Normally, a regular steamed bun costs ten cents, but look at our steamed buns. First, they are indeed bigger than others. Second, they are made entirely of flour, without any other ingredients mixed in."
The two nodded. Lin Xi was right. Using only white flour would indeed be very expensive.
However, the two of them only brought thirty cents in total when they went out to buy things, and they couldn't just buy one steamed bun and bring it back.
Although the two did not buy anything, there were many people watching the fun around. After all, there had never been such a special-shaped steamed bun in the market.
For other people, thirty cents is a bit expensive, but it is not a big deal. It is worth buying one to try.
Lin Xi had been secretly observing the expressions of the people around him, and saw the eagerness in their eyes.
"This steamed bun is specially made in the shape of a koi fish. It is the only one within a ten-mile radius. The koi fish symbolizes wealth and good fortune. It is most appropriate to buy one for the elderly at home. Parents love their children so much that they will not be unable to afford a thirty-cent steamed bun, right?"
Lin Xi's words instantly touched many people present.
Yes, it’s only thirty cents. It would be great to buy it and bring it back to honor your parents.
"Boss, give me one." someone in the crowd said.
Once the first one is sold, more business will follow.
After a while, Lin Xi's basket of steamed buns was gone.
The selling price was thirty wen each, and there were a total of forty-five buns in the basket, which meant that in such a short period of time, he had earned one or two hundred and fifty wen, which was equivalent to half a month's work.
"Boss, you have too few steamed buns. Will you come again tomorrow?" Some people who didn't buy any were very regretful.
Lin Xi said quickly, "Yes, yes, those of you who want steamed buns can go to my husband to register, and we will give you a receipt. You can come here tomorrow with the receipt."
The people in the town were knowledgeable and knew that Lin Xi had a reservation system, so they hurried to Xiao Yongyan's side to line up. Xiao Yongyan picked up a pen and paper and began to register everyone.
When seeing Xiao Yongyan's handwriting, some students who had studied in private schools for a few days exclaimed, "This handwriting is really good. I don't think anyone in our Songtao Academy can write as beautifully as this."
Another person disagreed, "After all, Songtao Academy is the best academy here. Have you seen the calligraphy of everyone there?"
"Okay, okay, isn't it just your brother who's studying there? You can't help but listen." The man changed the subject and said, "But this guy's handwriting is not bad either."
Lin Xi listened to their discussion and looked over curiously. She had never practiced calligraphy and had no idea how to appreciate nature.
But even though she was an outsider, she could see that Xiao Yongyan's handwriting was sharp in its neatness and carried a fierce and intimidating aura.
As good looking as a person.
After receiving the order, those people did not forget to remind Lin Xi, "Miss, you must come tomorrow."
Lin Xi nodded, "Don't worry, I can make money if I have it."
They spent twenty cents to buy some daily necessities before returning home.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for increasing 1 experience point. The current total experience point is 7 points. ]
Because I earned more than one or two taels, I gained 1 experience point.
But in the system, there are not many things that can be unlocked with this amount of experience points, so she has to hurry up and make money.
As soon as he got home, Lin Xi took a rest immediately. He got up before dawn the next day to start working. The steamed buns had to be steamed and sold right away to ensure they tasted good.
Xiao Yongyan couldn't bear to see her working so hard, so he joined in to help knead the dough.
While he was kneading the dough, Lin Xi was watching from the side. "When I make enough money, I will open a college for you that will be better than Songtao College."
Lin Xi knew that when Xiao Yongyan first came to Taoli Village, he talked to the head of the village about building a private school, but the head of the village refused and bluntly said that there was no place and no students.
But Lin Xi knew that Xiao Yongyan was extremely knowledgeable and was more than capable of guiding a few children. It was a pity that the village head lacked foresight.
Xiao Yongyan looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Xi's eyes were bright and sparkling with confidence.
"Okay," Xiao Yongyan smiled gently, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam. I will definitely help you knead the dough."
Lin Xi also smiled. They had been living a poor life here since they traveled through time, but as a couple, there was hope no matter how they looked at it.
Because there were a lot of orders yesterday, Lin Xi made two baskets of steamed buns this time.
Before leaving, Ma Shanfeng specifically reminded him that all the fields had been plowed, a total of four acres.
In a few days it will be time to plant the seedlings, so be sure to prepare them in advance.
Lin Xi nodded to show that he understood, and hurried to the town.
But Ma Shanfeng felt that he was still too late in reminding her. Looking at Lin Xi's expression, she didn't think that the seedlings could grow in one day. They had to be cultivated in advance.
In fact, what Lin Xi was thinking about was that he had to make more money quickly, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to afford the seedlings in the Shennong system.
As soon as we arrived today, the waiting guests immediately surrounded us.
"Boss, you're finally here. My mother heard yesterday that other families gave Koi buns as gifts, but she didn't, so she scolded me severely at home. You must sell me one!"
"Alas, it's the same at my place. Boss, I made a reservation yesterday. Please make sure to reserve it!"
This was the first time Lin Xi felt such excessive enthusiasm, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, we have a lot of stock today."
