Chapter 16 Being Treated as a Beggar



“Is making money so easy?”

The two of them stood aside, feeling very confused.

But I heard my niece (sister) laugh again:

"Auntie, since you are the first person to buy eggs in my house, you can spend an extra five cents to buy a beautiful fan. How about that?"

Before the woman left, she glanced at the round fan in Chen Xinli's hand again, and she caught it.

The best time to make a second transaction is after the first transaction is completed.

The woman seemed to hesitate, although she didn't say anything.

But he still looked at a V-shaped round fan in original bamboo color and light blue with great interest.

Chen Xinli thought for a moment, then added quietly:

"Dyeing bamboo fans is extremely difficult. My family spent a lot of time to come up with this style. It is one of a kind and is sold for eight cents a piece.

The day is about to get hot, and a bamboo fan would be perfect for you or your daughter."

"Two ten coins?"

The woman hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bear to give up, so she bargained.

Chen Xinli showed an awkward expression on her face. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and replied, "Thank goodness it was you. I won't do it again!"

The woman took out another ten cents before Chen Xinli let her go.

The main reason was that she was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would not be able to resist buying a few more fans. This little girl was really talkative.

Seeing that the little girl sold two bamboo fans in just two words, the uncle and nephew were so happy that they could hardly stop smiling!

Shen Fuyou was stunned:

"My God, in just a few moments, my niece has earned thirty-five cents!"

Shen Jinshan also looked incredulous:

"Dad only earns about sixty coins in two months, but my sister earns that much in less than half a day. When did making money become so easy?"

The big boy touched his head and thought it was too magical.

Chen Xinli: "..."

The two of them looked like they had never seen the world before.

Chen Xinli already understood.

They are just limited by their vision and knowledge. If they are given the opportunity, they will definitely do better than I do.

Then he whispered to comfort them: "Second Uncle, Big Brother, this is what I learned from the gods."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Second Uncle only said the word "good" for a long time, and the joy on his face was difficult to fade away for a while.

As long as it comes from the gods, it's not surprising.

Soon, the two of them imitated Chen Xinli and started selling eggs: "Buy eggs and get a free bamboo basket!"

This caused the crowd to surround the Shen family's stall.

In a famine year, there were not many farmers selling eggs at the market, so such large eggs were indeed rare.

After listening to Chen Xinli's explanation, several people in the crowd immediately started grabbing eggs:

"Give me a basket of eggs."

"I want a basket of eggs and a round fan."

The people selling eggs nearby were both jealous and envious.

Normally, whenever they come to town, their eggs sell the fastest, but today someone got there first.

But a few people could only watch helplessly.

After all, their eggs are really big!

Who asked them to give me a bamboo basket?

Who can blame them for selling this unique bamboo fan?

After the recent wave of enthusiasm, the Shen family stall sold a total of seven small baskets of eggs, a combination of three small baskets of eggs and two bamboo fans, plus a few scattered eggs and a few bamboo fans.

Together with the initial 35 coins earned, the total profit was 338 coins.

Chen Xinli calculated the profits while observing the crowd buying eggs.

She discovered that the people in the town were indeed much richer.

At least, when it comes to this basket of eggs, no one is being careless and they buy it right away.

It can be seen that although the people nowadays are short of money, they are also short of delicious food. I just don’t know what the prices in the county are like?

She had made up her mind: if she couldn't sell all the eggs and bamboo fans, she would go to the county.

More than an hour passed, and the market's morning peak trading period had passed, with only a few people buying bulk eggs and bamboo fans.

Looking at the half-eaten egg and most of the bamboo fan, Chen Xinli calmed down and began to think.

"Make way, make way."

"Mr. Li's housekeeper has sent someone."

"I heard that Mr. Li is very picky about the ingredients. I wonder which family will be lucky today."

Chen Xinli's eyes lit up: business is coming.

"Little girl, how many eggs do you have? I want them all and send them to the Li family."

"Okay."

Chen Xinli quickly asked her second uncle to carry the load, and the three uncles and nephews followed the vendors that the woman had just selected.

Arriving at a small side door of Mr. Li's house in Huaihua Lane, Chen Xinli followed her second uncle in and put the eggs away.

This time I received three hundred copper coins directly.

Knowing that there was extra reward money included here, Chen Xin came out and selected the most exquisitely crafted petal-shaped round fan from the bamboo fans picked by his second brother and gave it to the woman.

"You are really good, little girl. If you have more eggs like this in the future, you can send me a batch every two weeks."

Seeing that his niece had taken on another big business, Shen Fuyou couldn't help but grin.

If this trend continues, my family will be able to catch up with the rich families in the village.

When we left Mr. Li's house, the sun had already risen to halfway up the sky, scorching the earth, and there were fewer people on the road.

After a busy morning, all the eggs were sold, but only eleven bamboo fans were sold.

"This is the only thing Dad is good at. I must find a way to make this business a success!"

Thinking of the warm look Shen Fugui gave her these days, Shen Xinli thought silently.
