Chapter 63: My candy is taste before you buy
Zhang Xiu Lan tried hard to hold back her laughter. Judging from her expression, she must have come here unwillingly, and she was afraid that the business would fail in a few days.
I was worried about the emergence of a strong competitor, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
After figuring out these things, Zhang Xiu Lan immediately lost the desire to continue chatting with Sang Yu. After a few simple perfunctory words, she found an excuse to go back to the stall to work.
Sang Yu stole a few glances at her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was really no longer paying attention to him.
She was naturally playing the victim on purpose, making herself sound miserable and showing weakness to the enemy so that they would let down their guard.
It would be best if she could sell the things without getting into trouble. If she really got into trouble by accident, she could only deal with it as it came.
Morning is the busiest time of the day in the market, with people coming and going, people constantly shuttling through the market, and the hawkers shouting their wares.
A customer who wanted to buy candy was walking along the road and saw two adjacent candy stalls. Naturally, he would take a good look at them to see which one had better quality.
Seeing a customer stop in front of the stall, Zhang Xiulan immediately greeted him warmly: "You want to buy some candy? My family's candy-making skills have been passed down for three generations. Everyone who eats it praises it. Would you like to have some?"
Of course, there was no such business for three generations. It was only in the past two years that the family became wealthy and the couple started the candy business.
By buying some cheap sugar from somewhere else and then diluting and processing it at home, the profit can be much higher than selling sugar legitimately.
As for the lighter color of the diluted syrup due to too much water, no one can tell the flaw by adding some dye for dyeing cloth.
After hearing her hawking, the man who was standing there hesitant was suddenly moved.
But he still controlled his temper and turned his gaze to Sang Yu on the other side. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident - she has finished introducing herself, why don't you introduce yourself?
Sang Yu couldn't help but twitch her lips. "You're so picky when buying just one candy." She pretended she didn't understand the other person's expression, lowered her head, and gently cracked a piece of candy into pieces.
It doesn't need to be broken into pieces, just break them into pieces about the size of a fingernail, then place them on a leaf next to the stall.
After finishing everything, she also began to shout: "Homemade malt candy, try it before buying, if it's not sweet, no money."
She didn't come here to play today. She was counting on selling candy to make up the funding gap for building a house.
Try before you buy?
This slogan is very serious. Now that supplies are scarce, even people living in the city have to live frugally and spend every penny carefully.
What's more, it is human nature to take advantage of small bargains. I have only heard of people selling things with less weight, but I have never heard of people being able to taste the food without spending any money.
People on half of the nearby street gathered around, blocking Sang Yu and Zhang Xiu Lan's stall.
Zhang Xiulan was so frightened that she threw half her body onto the candy in front of her, shouting, "Go away! Go away! I won't let you taste this."
While she was terrified that someone would snatch the candy away when she was not paying attention, she also felt that her previous guess was correct.
How could this little girl be someone who could do business peacefully? She must have been bullied by her family all the time. Now she is so angry that she wants to sell or give away all the candies she brought.
Although this action may affect her business today, she still has a long way to go in business, and it doesn't matter if she does one day less, but she can't see good shows every day.
When they heard her say that they were not allowed to taste the food, the people surrounding her immediately lost interest and gathered around Sang Yu's stall.
Everyone gathered in a circle in front of Sang Yu's stall, looking at the little girl in front of them. An old lady with half-white hair kindly reminded her, "Little girl, didn't you just shout the wrong thing? You can only taste it after you buy it."
Sang Yu smiled at her gratefully, but didn't agree with her and continued, "No, the candy here is for you to try before you buy..."
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately interrupted him and said, "Then give me a piece to try first."
Malt sugar is a good thing. Who would be willing to eat it on ordinary days? It's rare to meet a fool who gives it to you for free.
She told him to try before buying. There are so many people here that even if he tries but doesn't buy, he won't be able to find her.
Sang Yu couldn't have failed to think of his little thoughts, so in order to prevent such people from getting something for free, she thought of a way in advance.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, please don't be impatient."
Sang Yu calmly took the small pieces of candy she had crushed earlier and continued, "It's true that you can taste the candy before you buy it, but there's a rule: only children can taste it. If they say it's not sweet, they don't have to pay. If they say it's sweet, they have to buy one or two ounces."
Her idea was similar to the one she used last time to sell candy.
Families with children are willing to spend six cents to buy some candy for their children.
What's more, in public, no matter how greedy a person is, he would not teach his children to lie and say that the candy is not sweet.
Even if she was unlucky and met such a shameless person, the loss would only be a piece of candy, and she could fully bear the loss.
As she stated her conditions, the crowd did not disperse as she expected. Instead, they nodded in agreement.
There is no such thing as a free pie in the sky. It is normal to have conditions. If there are no conditions, they would not dare to taste the free candy, because who knows if it is poisoned.
Those who brought their children stepped forward immediately, while those who did not bring their children regretted it very much. Why didn’t they bring their children with them when they went out today? They missed the opportunity to eat for free.
Sang Yu distributed candies to the children while maintaining order: "Little sister, take it carefully. Everyone, please don't push. There is plenty of candy."
Others might be nervous and scared in such a situation, but who is she? An internet celebrity blogger!
When visiting the store offline, if you have informed the location in advance, the number of fans who come to meet her by chance will be several times more than the people here. They can surround her in three layers, and her hands are almost clenched.
The more people there were, the calmer she became. She managed to keep the situation orderly, which should have been chaotic, allowing people to taste food and buy candy.
Most of the people on the street were gathered in front of Sang Yu's stall, so no one would patronize his own business.
After Zhang Xiu Lan covered her candy to prevent it from being stolen, she kept stretching her neck to see Sang Yu make a fool of herself.
But unexpectedly, instead of seeing the joke, more and more customers came out carrying bags of candy.
At first she thought it was just a coincidence. With so many people eating and drinking for free, there would always be people who couldn't bear to buy a few pounds out of face.
But as more and more customers came out carrying candies, each with a satisfied and happy smile on their face, she gradually became unable to sit still.
Are these people fools? Free food and free drinks are not enough, they actually bought her candy.
Sugar is not a necessity like salt. There are only so many people in the city, and the monthly demand is limited.
After buying candy from Sang Yu, she would not buy candy from her again in the short term, and she would lose a lot of money invisibly.
