This Saturday is a short weekend, but Yuan Fangguo has no classes in the morning, so he and Li Chunli had already agreed to go to the nearest big market today to deal with the remaining mooncakes.
After getting up early in the morning, the two were in high spirits, at least the more than 1,700 mooncakes would not be wasted.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the two arrived at their destination.
As usual, Li Chunli went to pay the market management fee, and Yuan Fangguo was responsible for setting up the stall.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer, there are many vendors selling mooncakes in the market. Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China. Every stall is crowded with people and it is bustling with activity.
Before Yuan Fangguo even opened his stall, two or three buyers were already looking at him.
“How much are mooncakes?”
"One dollar each." Yuan Fangguo said.
"How does it taste?"
"It must taste good. Look at the packaging. You can also try it." Yuan Fangguo said.
"Then open it and let us taste it."
Yuan Fangguo nodded and swiftly opened a mooncake.
Then when the mooncake was taken out of the packaging, he was suddenly stunned.
The mooncakes actually grew hair.
What's going on?
Yuan Fangguo couldn't even believe his eyes. He couldn't help but stroke the green hair that was almost half a centimeter long with his hand.
It's really green hair.
Could it be that we encountered a fake one?
Yuan Fangguo was startled, but he quickly calmed down and stuffed the mooncake underneath while the guests were not paying attention.
"What?" The buyers were puzzled when they saw that he opened the box but did not give them the mooncakes.
"Nothing." Yuan Fangguo said calmly, "I'll open one right away for you to try. The one just now was empty."
"You business people are quite interesting. You ended up with nothing." The old lady couldn't help but tease.
Yuan Fangguo didn't say anything and quickly opened another one.
This mooncake has no green hair.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this must be a coincidence. He would definitely find the mooncake factory and ask them to give an explanation.
"Uncles and aunts, please try our mooncakes. They are really good." Yuan Fangguo said as he handed over the mooncakes with a smile on his face.
The buyers took the mooncakes, broke off some, put them in their mouths and slowly tasted them.
“It tastes pretty good.”
"good."
"Can it be cheaper?"
"Young man, can you make it cheaper?"
"This?" Yuan Fangguo looked embarrassed.
"I bought more than 30."
"I'll buy more than 20."
…
Yuan Fangguo reluctantly agreed, charging 80 cents per mooncake.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing for making his first deal, Li Chunli also came over.
After giving Li Chunli some brief instructions, Li Chunli also helped pick up the mooncakes.
Several buyers were also very happy. After paying, they picked up the bags and left. At least these mooncakes were of good quality and cheap. Compared with those mooncakes that cost more than one yuan, they were still much more economical.
Buyers came to their stall one after another and started asking questions.
Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli were both a little overwhelmed.
However, not long after, the old lady buyer came in with an angry look on her face, holding up a hairy mooncake high in the air.
"Is this the mooncake you two profiteers are selling?"
Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli were really shocked this time. The old lady's action undoubtedly slapped them in the face.
Li Chunli was even more puzzled, wondering why these mooncakes had hair.
The buyers around immediately started talking about it.
"Growing hair?"
“So scary…”
"Will I die if I eat it?"
…
"How do you prove that this mooncake belongs to us?" Li Chunli said loudly and bluntly.
"Hmph, how do you prove it? This bag was bought here at your house. Ask your husband if he admits it?" The loud questioning made the old lady seem like Lady She of the Yang Family Generals, while Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli were the treacherous ministers who colluded with the Liao Kingdom.
The old lady was so nimble that you couldn't tell her age at all. She just poured all the mooncakes in the bag onto the stall and casually tore open a box.
The hairy mooncake appeared inside.
"Here is the evidence," the old lady said in a resounding voice.
Li Chunli shook her head, totally unable to believe the facts before her eyes. She could only mutter, "Impossible, impossible."
Yuan Fangguo didn't say anything, he knew he was in trouble today.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself hard in his heart. If he had not been careless just now, this situation would never have happened.
But it was too late to blame myself, the fact had already happened.
The buyers began to make accusations and said all kinds of obscene words.
The stall owners nearby soon realized that there was a couple selling things in an unethical way, and they shouted even louder.
"I'm sorry, old lady, I will return all the goods to you." Yuan Fangguo said quickly.
"I'm so unlucky today. I encountered this shit." The old lady couldn't help spitting, with a gloomy look on her face.
After returning the money to the old lady, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli did not say anything. They silently packed up their stall and prepared to leave.
After those onlookers got tired of cursing, they stopped, which made them feel a little better.
"Fang Guo, maybe I took the mooncakes out to dry in the sun on Wednesday afternoon, and then they got moldy." Li Chunli thought about it carefully just now, and she felt that this was the most likely possibility.
When Yuan Fangguo heard that Li Chunli had actually dried these mooncakes in the sun, he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. These things should not be dried in the sun at all. Exposing them to the sun would only accelerate the growth of mold.
"It's okay, let's close the stall quickly." In fact, the loss was not that big, and Yuan Fangguo figured it out quickly.
Li Chunli's face was filled with remorse, and while Yuan Fangguo wasn't paying attention, she quietly wiped away her tears.
Deep down, she felt that she was a burden to Yuan Fangguo.
The two continued to clean up the stall silently, and it took more than twenty minutes to finish.
After loading the mooncakes into the tricycle, Yuan Fangguo turned the key to the ignition position.
"Stop." Just at this moment, two guys suddenly appeared in front of them.
A guy must have stood directly in front of the tricycle to stop Yuan Fangguo's actions.
Yuan Fangguo looked at the two of them with an unfriendly look on his face.
"What do you want?" He was just about to vent his anger when these two idiots finally walked into his trap.
"What do you want? You're talking in such a loud voice." The tall man snorted coldly, and then turned off Yuan Fangguo's tricycle.
