Listening to Linghua's childish talk, Xia Daohua secretly wiped away a drop of cold sweat: "Hehe, it's actually nothing. Just prepare it in several times, in different places!"
Xia Daohua was vague and got away with it.
The stall set up by a few little kids opened for business not long after it was opened.
As for Xia Daohua, the time traveler, I can’t say that she has any other advantages, but her thick skin is still quite noticeable.
She observed the calls from other stalls for a while and designed a few lines of her own:
"Bamboo tube rice, bamboo tube rice, bamboo tube rice is fragrant and sweet. After eating my bamboo tube rice, adults and children are all smiling. Oh my, smiling!"
In fact, it is adapted from the tune of "Selling Tangyuan".
After singing a few lines, he would shout:
"Bamboo tube rice! Fragrant and sweet bamboo tube rice! Fragrant white rice! Only two small copper coins!"
Lihua and Goro began to listen to Xia Daohua's singing, feeling both amused and shy. Later, they found that Xia Daohua's shouting and somewhat strange tunes actually attracted some people, so they started to shout along with her.
However, Lihua and Wulang were a few years older and much more shameless than Xia Daohua. They only dared to shout: "Bamboo tube rice is on sale at a low price" and refused to say anything else.
However, the little Linghua adapted well and quickly learned all the lyrics and calls of Xia Daohua, and started shouting loudly with great enthusiasm.
Many people gathered around the stalls of a few little kids to see what was new.
This time and space was far less information-rich than later generations. In places like Beiguan Town, many people had only just heard of authentic southern snacks like bamboo tube rice, let alone eaten them.
Seeing that there were more and more people gathered around but they were just looking and not buying, Xia Daohua simply took apart a bamboo tube and gave the bamboo tube rice inside to Linghua.
Linghua is a natural foodie who enjoys eating anything, let alone the already delicious bamboo tube rice.
The delicate aroma of bamboo and rice complemented each other perfectly, wafting quickly into the nostrils of the onlookers. Coupled with Linghua's expression as she licked her lips and wiped her tongue, enjoying the delicious food, it was the perfect advertisement.
Immediately, a middle-aged woman holding a child took out two cents, bought a bamboo tube of rice, and gave it to the young man in her arms.
After buying the first one, I soon got the second one.
The one hundred servings of bamboo tube rice prepared by Xia Daohua were almost all sold out in less than an hour.
Xia Daohua saw that the market was about to close and decided to keep fifteen bamboo tubes for her family. However, if she gave enough bamboo tubes to each household, there wouldn't be enough for them.
If two bamboo tube rices were sent to each room, it would be enough to share, but it would only be enough for people to have a light taste.
However, they never expected that when the kids were packing up their stall, another customer came.
This person turned out to be a returning customer. After trying the bamboo tube rice, he found it very appetizing, so he simply turned back and bought all the remaining fifteen.
I also booked the next one with Xia Daohua:
"Will you come tomorrow? Will you come to the market next time? Bring more next time! I'll take as much as you have! I've never tasted such delicious white rice!"
Facing his enthusiasm, Xia Daohua said with a smile:
"Come! I will definitely come to the market next time! If I can't come because of something, my family will come too."
The returning customer left with great satisfaction. Lihua, Wulang, and Linghua all looked at Xia Daohua with smiles on their faces.
"Daohua, you're amazing. You're not afraid at all when talking to someone like that!"
The customer just now was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a sturdy build. He looked a bit fierce at first glance. In other words, he didn't look like a good person at all. Several children were a little nervous, but Xia Daohua was the only one who was not afraid of him at all.
Xia Daohua said with a smile:
"He came here to buy something and paid last time. How can you conclude he's a bad guy just based on his appearance?"
"But isn't this what bad guys look like? Look at that Jin Yong..." Linghua's voice became lower as she spoke. Xia Daohua felt strange and looked up. Wow, it turned out that you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs!
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Linghua mentioned Jin Yong, and Jin Yong actually appeared!
However, Xia Daohua did not show a good face to Jin Yong.
All the suffering Xia Yujiao suffered was because of this guy.
This guy seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening and was even smiling foolishly at the kids!
Linghua was trembling a little. Xia Daohua held Linghua in her arms and said in a low but firm voice in her ear:
"Linghua, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
Jin Yong obviously heard it, and immediately stood there awkwardly, not daring to move forward.
Lihua tugged at Xia Daohua's sleeve, signaling to her that Jin Yong could hear her. She smiled at Lihua soothingly and said to Wulang, "Brother, we have to pack up this stall. We'll need it next time!"
They used a bamboo mat to set up their stall, on which were placed the container for bamboo rice and a small basket woven from bamboo strips. If customers liked the basket, they could buy it together.
If you don't want to pay for the basket, you can also leave the basket out and take the bamboo tube directly.
Jin Yong stood there for a while, but seeing that the Xia family's children ignored him, he couldn't help but took two steps forward and asked Xia Daohua with a lecherous look:
"Is your aunt here today?"
Xia Daohua gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You think you can ask my aunt?"
Jin Yong's anger was rising to his head, but he didn't want to get angry with Xia Daohua, so he forced himself to ask:
"Why can't I ask?"
Xia Daohua stared at him calmly with her big eyes:
"Who are you? Why are you asking?
Our Xia family is an honest family that is getting by.
If you sincerely want to marry my aunt, you should come and propose. If you don't want to marry my aunt at all, then don't bother her all the time!
You are a grown-up, why aren’t you as sensible as a kid like me?
"At your age, you've lived like a dog? You don't even know what you should do and what you shouldn't do?"
"You! Why are you swearing? I won't bother with you, kid, but if you say something rude again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Hey, how can you be so rude?
In broad daylight, in front of everyone, do you really want to fight me with your fists?
If you win, it’s because you’re such a big bear bullying a little girl like me; if you lose, it’s because you can’t even beat me, tut tut tut…”
"you!"
"Rice flowers!" Several voices rang out in unison, and Wulang and the others were worried.
Xia Daohua smiled at them comfortingly:
"Don't worry, no matter how angry he is, he won't dare to hit me."
