Chapter 12 Selling Candy
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang were older and felt a little embarrassed, but Datou was very brave. When he saw a child he thought would buy candy, he would stop him and ask, "Do you want to buy candy?"
Manbao immediately went up with the oil paper, opened it and showed it to him, and said proudly, "Our candy is very delicious. Do you want to buy some?"
The child swallowed and looked at his parents.
The parents were not stupid. They asked, "This candy looks different from the candy we usually buy. Is it candy?"
"Of course, I've eaten them all." Manbao puffed out his chest and said, "They're delicious, better than the ones sold at the market."
The parents were a little amused and said, "You've eaten it, but we haven't. How do we know if you're lying?"
Manbao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, so he took out a candy and generously held it out to them, "Why don't you try it?"
The child reached out to take it, but his parents immediately grabbed his hand and asked, "Are you taking advantage of this opportunity to ask us to buy it?"
"Of course not," Manbao said righteously, "I would never do such a bad thing. You can try it. If it's not real, I won't charge you any money."
Zhou Wulang thought Manbao was particularly silly, and could not help but rushed over, took the candy, crushed it with his hands, and then picked up a small piece for them, "Here, you try it."
Zhou Wulang thought about it and felt that he couldn't just give the food to his parents, so he picked up a small piece and gave it to the child.
No one minded that the candy was ground by his hands. After tasting it, their eyes lit up slightly.
This candy is much sweeter than the candy at the market.
The child's mother immediately asked, "How much is this candy?"
Manbao had already discussed this with the system, so he confidently quoted, "Five for one penny."
The child's mother's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "It's too expensive. We can't afford it. Can it be cheaper?"
Manbao was a little disappointed. Seeing how well they were dressed, he thought they were quite wealthy.
She shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's find someone else."
After saying that, he pulled Datou and ran to find the next customer, leaving the stunned parents behind. They were bargaining, not saying they would not buy it. Shouldn't they be the ones pretending to leave and waiting to be persuaded to stay?
When Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang saw this, they praised their sister for her courage. They had eaten the candy before and felt that it was worth far more than the money it cost.
You know, the sugar sold in the market is also priced at this price.
Manbao left without hesitation, and now the customer was unwilling to give up. He quickly chased after the child, stopped him, and asked, "Can't you make it cheaper?"
This price was set by Keke after helping Manbao analyze the situation. In fact, the initial price was three pieces for one cent, because Keke believed that the sugar content in their pieces would be much higher than the current sugar.
The higher the value, the higher the price.
But Manbao heard Keke say that the candies sold at the market were five for one penny, and she felt that if hers were more expensive, they would definitely not sell. Anyway, she had points and was not short of candies, so she generously said that she would just set the same price as at the market.
So, Manbao knew what was going on. She knew this was the lowest price. She was a very principled child and would never lower the price.
She didn't think that the parents were bargaining, but simply thought that they couldn't afford it, so she looked at the little boy with regret and shook her head to refuse.
This sight made the child very sad, very sad. He immediately burst into tears, hugged his mother's legs and shouted, "I want to buy candy, I want to buy candy."
The parents felt that the child was a little ungrateful. What's wrong with lowering the price?
Seeing that they looked unhappy, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang stepped forward and stood behind Manbao.
The parents paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Forget it, we'll take whatever you have."
Manbao glared. Is he so rich?
She immediately opened her oil-paper and said happily, "Twenty in total, four cents."
The couple frowned slightly, "Didn't you just crush one?"
Zhou Wulang immediately stretched out the candy in his hand and said, "We haven't eaten it before."
The couple said, "Then we don't want it either. Please ask for a penny less. We bought so much."
Zhou Wulang was furious, but Manbao took out a candy from somewhere and put it on the oil paper. He looked at the couple happily and said, "Here, isn't this better? You can count it."
The couple: ...
They counted them and asked, "Can you exchange them for something else?"
Little Manbao finally sensed their hostility, covered the oil paper with it, and refused, "No."
Zhou Wulang thought it was okay, so he poked Manbao on the back. Manbao twisted his body, turned around and glared at him, saying, "You have to pay for medicine in the pharmacy with money, not eggs or grain."
The couple then realized that they wanted to buy medicine. After thinking for a while, they decided not to bargain and counted out four cents to give them.
Manbao never had a lot of money in her hands. During the Chinese New Year, all the red envelopes given by her parents, brothers, and nephews and nieces were handed over to her, and only she could keep the money herself.
But this was the first time she had actually earned money, so she looked at the four cents carefully, and after finding that they were no different from before, she carefully put them into her handkerchief and held it tightly.
Zhou Wulang waited until they left before saying to Man Bao, "That's too cheap. Ours is really good candy."
"That's how it's sold at the market," Manbao insisted.
"Rice is divided into low, medium, and high grades, and different rice has different prices. Our sugar must be high-quality, so it's more expensive." Zhou Wulang said, "If they don't believe our sugar is good, we can crush it up and give them a little taste, just like we did this time."
Manbao thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea. He asked Koko again and when he saw that he agreed, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way next time."
Having made money, everyone's eyes fell on the broken candy in Zhou Wulang's hand, and everyone swallowed their saliva at the same time.
After earning money with candy, Manbao finally felt the beauty of candy and found it delicious. She shared it with everyone, so that everyone could get a small piece. She put the last bit left in her mouth.
There was only a very small piece, and as soon as it touched the tip of her tongue, a hint of sweetness spread, then the sugar melted, and she swallowed it and it was gone.
Manbao blinked and felt that this little bit of candy was more delicious than any candy she had eaten before.
She felt very strange and asked Keke, "I never thought this candy was delicious before. Keke, did you change the variety?"
The system said, "No, it's the same variety, the same manufacturer. The difference is because the host has finally realized the rarity and benefits of sugar, right?"
Manbao didn't quite understand what was said, but she had her own understanding. "Does the candy taste better after it's been sold? That's great! From now on, I'll sell all the candies and keep one to eat. That way it'll taste better."
The system remained silent and did not stop her.
Sell it. If you want to sell, you have to buy. If you have spent all the points, you should go earn points, right?
The editor said: I heard that someone has been scolding me recently, so please add more. , add five days
Me: Who said that? That’s not true.
However, the editor insisted on his own way, so there will be another update at 8 o'clock in the evening.
In addition, Yuzhu feels that she is getting older and has been taking care of her health recently. She will go to bed early in the future. The Xiuxian next door will also strive to update uniformly around 6 pm. If there is an additional update, I will notify you separately.
