Su Chenhao thought the price the little girl set was reasonable. If all the meat was sold, he could earn at least eight yuan.
Everyone hesitated when they heard the price, wondering whether they should buy it.
Qiao Xiaoni then took out a cleaver again, cut off a piece of meat, and then sliced it into very thin slices, almost transparent ones, and placed them in the prepared bowl.
"Everyone can try one, but each person can only take one piece. I can't afford to supply more than that. I'm just running a small business, so please understand!"
They hadn't expected to get a free sample, and the thought of eating for free drew them all together, each taking a piece of meat.
The slices of meat were small and thin, barely tasting meaty when put in the mouth, but their fresh and fragrant taste immediately attracted everyone's taste buds.
Everyone thinks this meat is delicious; you can't make it taste like this at home.
"It's delicious, but young lady, this meat is too expensive. We can't afford it!" A middle-aged woman said in the crowd, her eyes fixed on the meat in the basket, as if she was about to snatch it away.
Qiao Xiaoni put on a serious expression, "Do you know what the price of meat is now? Especially pig's head, it's extremely expensive. A 20-pound pig's head doesn't have much meat left after cooking."
I'm just trying to earn a living through hard work, so please don't haggle with me. I promise you'll get a generous portion.
After considering the price of pig's head, everyone felt that the little girl selling it for two yuan per pound wasn't too expensive.
"Give me one of those pig ears, I'll have it with my drinks tonight. It's been so long since I've had such delicious meat," the middle-aged man called out as he stepped out from the crowd.
Unexpectedly, someone bought it so quickly, and Qiao Xiaoni didn't even have a scale! Looking around, she saw a fruit stall not far away. The old man didn't have many customers, and his scale was placed at his feet. She said to the middle-aged man, "I'll go borrow a scale and be right back. Please wait a moment."
The middle-aged man nodded, staring at the pig ears in the basket, thinking to himself that he must have an extra drink tonight.
Su Chenhao said to Qiao Xiaoshan, "Your sister is a talented person. It's hard for your family not to get rich."
"Haha! I think so too. If I had to sell these things, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth." Qiao Xiaoshan's face was full of pride. He was overjoyed at the thought of making a lot of money by selling the meat in the basket.
"Look at you, so pathetic." After saying this, Su Chenhao saw that someone else had gathered around the stall, so he went up to them and explained the prices to them according to what Qiao Xiaoni had said.
The woman was dressed very appropriately, wearing a pink shirt, black pants, and leather shoes, clearly indicating that she came from a well-off family.
These days, people who can afford leather shoes are basically employed with secure jobs; otherwise, where would they get the spare money to buy leather shoes?
Wang Yan said, "Give me two pounds of bones and another pound of pig's head meat. Someone is treating me to lunch today. If I enjoy the food, I'll come back again next time."
Su Chenhao: "Okay! Just a moment, I'll weigh you right away."
Qiao Xiaoni overheard their conversation halfway there and successfully borrowed the scale. She promised the old man she'd give him two vegetable pancakes in return, and that he could use the scale freely. She didn't dare ask for meat, partly because it was too expensive, and partly because they'd only just met and she didn't know what kind of person he was.
Qiao Xiaoni first weighed the pig's ears for the middle-aged man.
"Look at the scale, it's eight ounces. Give me one dollar and sixty cents, and I'll give you a vegetable pancake as a bonus."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed upon hearing this, readily paid the money, and took the vegetable pancakes and pig's ears home.
Next, we weighed the bones and pig's head meat for the middle-aged woman. We overheard her buying so much for her guests. We weighed everything and put it in a bag.
"Auntie, look how generous this portion is. I'll add a spoonful of broth for you. It'll be delicious if you stew it in your dishes when you get home."
