Chapter 135 The Shop Owner Arrives

Zhang Jinlan explained.

"Mother is right. We have to have both expensive and cheap items. Just like the restaurants in town, some meat dishes are sold for two taels of silver per plate, but stir-fried seasonal vegetables are sold for fifteen cents per plate. If we only sell expensive items, I'm afraid our shop will have fewer customers. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."

Jiang Eryong, who is knowledgeable, praises his comrades.

He drew aside the curtain and came over.

I was about to ask if the mung bean soup was ready when I heard my mother's words.

"Then it's settled. Eryong, come and eat watermelon. Siyin, go and get your eldest brother to come and eat. Eryong, after you and Yamato finish eating, go outside the shop and shout, "Remember, we have a new product. It's called Tangshui Luo, and it's twenty cents a bowl."

"good."

Jiang Eryong nodded.

He picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating it.

The chilled watermelon is very juicy.

He was so dry-mouthed and sweaty while talking to the guests.

The heat disappeared instantly.

After the two brothers finished eating the watermelon, they exchanged it for Jiang Siyin.

Start selling.

A regular customer ordered a bowl out of curiosity.

When the soup was served, he said coldly: "Isn't this still mung bean soup? Why is it so much more expensive just because of a different name?"

Jiang Eryong hurried to explain.

"It's different. The bowl is bigger than the cup and holds more. Also, take a spoon and taste it. The good stuff is at the bottom." Jiang Eryong replied quickly.

The watermelon cubes and taro balls sank to the bottom.

So on the surface, it looks like there is only mung bean soup.

The man took the spoon and scooped a spoonful with doubt.

"Hey, what's this red thing? Is it a fruit? And what's this purple thing?"

The customer's exclamations attracted other people in the shop.

All eyes were on him.

Jiang Eryong did not explain.

He gave a mysterious smile.

The guests won’t understand even if you tell them, so it’s better not to tell them and leave them a sense of mystery.

"Oh, it's delicious. It must be a fruit. But I've never seen a fruit of this color before. And this purple thing, soft and chewy, sweet inside and out.

It's really delicious, waiter, I just blamed you wrongly, no wonder it's called sugar water pick-up, it has to be picked out and eaten, really, it tastes much better than just drinking green bean soup."

After the man tasted the sugary food, his expression changed rapidly.

He had a cold face just now, but now he looks very satisfied.

"Give me one bowl too."

"Me too, give me a bowl."

"It's only twenty cents. Even if I eat ten bowls, it's still not as much as a meal I get in a restaurant. Serve it quickly. It's so hot."

“….”

Someone is there to support the actor.

Five bowls were sold out quickly.

Late noon.

We started having lunch in the backyard of the shop.

I didn’t go out to buy anything today.

Qian Xile cooked a full pot of porridge in a clay pot. Each person took a piece of meat cake and drank it with the porridge. It tasted delicious.

After dinner, when Zhu Yingqiu was helping to wash the pots and dishes, there was a knock on the back door.

Jiang Siyin opened the door to the backyard.

Standing outside was a woman in her forties.

She was wearing a rich yellow satin dress, the material of which was expensive but somewhat faded.

Silver bracelets were worn on both wrists.

There was also a plain silver hairpin in her hair.

Compared to Zhang Jinlan, who wrapped her head with tattered linen, she looked much richer.

She strode in.

"I am Wan, the owner of the shop. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I came to the shop to look at the peach trees. You guys go about your business."

Wan held her chin high as she spoke.

After she briefly introduced herself, she ignored the Jiang family.

"Don't pick my peaches secretly. When you rented the shop, I'm sure the agent told you that I would bring people to pick the peaches when they are ripe."

Wan walked under the peach tree.

Stretch out your fingers and count them one by one.

The peach tree is quite old.

There are about a hundred peaches on it.

"Don't worry, we won't pick it."

Zhang Jinlan's voice was somewhat cold.

This shop owner doesn't look like someone who is easy to get along with.

Who cares about this broken peach of hers?

It's so tiny, so who knows how sour it might be.

How can the watermelon sent by immortals be as delicious as it is?

"I just looked at the front of the shop. It looks like your business is pretty good. The shop is full of people, all men. I originally wanted to come in from the front of the shop, but it was inconvenient with so many men, so I went around to the backyard. So, what do you sell in your shop?"

Finish counting the peaches.

Wan asked Zhang Jinlan for the sake of conversation.

"Oh, we don't sell anything, just some ordinary green bean soup."

Obvious cliché.

How could Zhang Jinlan say that?

"Mung bean soup? There are so many shops selling mung bean soup on the street, why is your business so prosperous? You must be kidding me. Don't worry, I don't run a shop, why should you be so wary of me? I wish your business is prosperous, so that my shop will be more prosperous."

Wan laughed twice.

"Mom, give me three bowls of mung bean soup."

Coincidentally, before Zhang Jinlan could say anything, Jiang Eryong lifted the curtain and came over.

Sun Pingmei and Zhang Yanzi hurried to make soup for him.

The speed was so fast that only a dozen seconds had passed when Jiang Eryong left with the tray.

"As you can see, we sell mung bean soup. Oh, and we also sell pancakes, which are just ordinary pancakes. I don't know why our business is so good. Maybe it's because our shop is in a good location and it brings us good business."

Zhang Jinlan was cautious.

Instead, she began to praise the shop.

"Indeed, the location of my shop is excellent. When you rented it, you also took a fancy to the location of my shop. Okay, I have to go now. Remember, don't touch my peaches."

Wan glanced around the backyard with a smug look.

I don't know what she is looking at.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Siyin closed the back door.

Zhang Jinlan looked a little unhappy.

So does Jiang Fubao.

She always felt that this Wan family would cause trouble in the future.

A landlady who has no shortage of money is actually afraid that even her peaches will be stolen.

You can buy a big basket of these peaches for a few coins on the street.

Who cares?

Soon, this little episode was forgotten by them.

All the sweet soups are sold out today.

Who wouldn't be happy to get a few taels of silver?

The Jiang family got on the ox cart with smiles on their faces and went home.

Meanwhile on the other side.

In a residential house.

Sun Lai Di and her sister Sun Si Mei Wo were crying in the corner.

"Sister, I'm in pain. My body hurts so much."

Sun Simei lifted up her clothes.

Her back was covered with bulging whip marks.

There was no blood.

It was just a big swelling with some bruises. This kind of injury required a lot of force. If you applied more force, it would start bleeding.

The people who beat them were the thugs in the house.

Experienced.

Fang Wanru standing by wasn't much better.

All three had scars on their bodies.

"Bang--"

"You three, have you reflected on yourselves? Everyone else has been sold, but you three are the ones causing trouble. When it comes to the time of selection, you act crazy and stupid, wasting my time. Tomorrow, Madam Liu's family in the town wants to buy three girls, and I will take you there. If you cause trouble again, hmph, I will collect your bodies!"

Suddenly, the door of the dark room was kicked open.

The human trafficker came in and started cursing.
