Chapter 37 Style
You’re dreaming!
One piece of jerky can cost three cents. With so many people, if each person eats one piece, how much will they taste?
Boss Li was about to swear when Qin Fangci's voice interrupted him.
"Of course. This dried meat is a new treat we made at home. No one knows what it tastes like yet. If you like it after trying it, it's not too late to buy it."
Without waiting for the eldest and second Li to object, Qin Fangci and Li Yulan squeezed in.
"Make way, let me have some time. Don't wait in line for me to cut the jerky."
Qin Fangci was well prepared. She had a small knife hidden in her arms, wrapped in two clean cotton handkerchiefs.
After spreading the cotton towel, Qin Fangci first took a piece of five-spice pork jerky. Without much effort, one piece of jerky was divided into five or six portions.
Qin Fangci handed the cotton handkerchief to Li Yulan, "Boss, you and Yulan should share some of this dried meat with the guests."
"This is five-spice flavored dried meat. People can't buy a pound or half a pound, so we can sell it by the piece."
"One for three cents, two for five cents, five for ten cents. Buy them for your wife and children to try. They'll all laugh. Buy them for the men to drink with. They'll work tirelessly."
"This is some meat jerky suitable for both young and old. Look, everyone, come and take a look. Try it before you buy. If you don't want to buy any meat jerky, my vegetables are freshly cut. I spent the whole day in the vegetable garden yesterday smelling the meat. When you bring it home, your mouth is filled with the meaty aroma. Two cents for a big handful, three cents for two big handfuls. You won't be cheated or fooled..."
Qin Fangci kept shouting while her men were cutting up the dried meat skillfully.
Two strong men and three women don't look like they are easy to mess with. Anyone who wants to cause trouble should think twice.
Li Yulan was reluctant to let go at first, and Boss Li was just heartbroken.
When the first customer spent five cents to buy two pieces of meat, the two of them immediately became excited.
They didn't say anything new, just repeated what Qin Fangci had said.
Daya and Li Laoer got started faster.
Li Laoer took the dried meat and distributed it to those who wanted to buy it. Daya was busy selling dried meat wrapped in vegetables.
The arithmetic I just learned will be put into practice in depth.
There are quite a few people at the market today, but their spending power is limited.
Sixty percent of people spent five cents, 20 percent spent ten cents, and even fewer, about 10 percent, spent fifteen or twenty cents.
Another 10% of people come here just to watch the fun and also want to come back to eat some dried meat. When faced with such people, Boss Li and Second Li are always quick-eyed enough to dig them out.
Li Laoer said politely, "Brother, I only have this much dried meat. I'll give some to others after I've tasted it. If you don't want to buy dried meat, it's fine. Can you bring some vegetables?"
Some people were too embarrassed to take away two handfuls of vegetables, and some were so shameless that they argued with Li Laoer for a few words, and when they couldn't get the dried meat, they turned around and left cursing.
After being busy for more than an hour, the people at the market gradually dispersed. The vegetables brought by Qin Fangci and her group were sold out first, and only about one-third of the dried meat was left.
Boss Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mom, the market is about to close. What about the remaining dried meat? Should we take it back?"
I've earned some money, so it's okay to take the rest home and eat it, right?
Li Laoer lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. If they were sent to the county town, they would definitely be sold out. Not to mention sending them to big restaurants, even if his mother sold them in retail, they would be able to sell most of them.
But they can't go.
Just then, the doorman Qin Fangci had met in the morning walked over from afar.
Qin Fangci pulled Li Yulan.
Li Yulan was happily holding the money bag when she was suddenly pulled and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing, Mom?"
"Guests are coming."
Li Yulan looked up and saw the arrogant Niu Bo walking in front of them. The smile on Li Yulan's face froze instantly.
"My master thinks this dried meat tastes good. How much dried meat do you have left? Pack it up for me."
"Tell me, how much is it?" Uncle Niu shook the purse in his hand and gave Qin Fangci a meaningful smile.
The five-spice and spicy flavors together weigh about two pounds.
"There are about two pounds of dried meat left. One pound of dried meat is eighty wen, so two pounds is one hundred and sixty wen. I'll just give you one hundred and fifty wen, minus ten wen."
Uncle Niu stared at Qin Fangci with a forced smile. Could it be that this old woman didn't understand what he meant?
Didn't they offer the dried meat as a favor? Now that they are giving her face, shouldn't they politely give it all to him?
He even erased ten cents. Who were he trying to show off to?
"Uncle Niu, don't you have enough money? We can deliver it to your door." Qin Fangci packed up the dried meat quickly, as if she would not be able to sell it if she was slow. Seeing her worldly and mercenary face, Uncle Niu curled his lips and glanced at Li Yulan coldly.
Someone like this still wants to marry into their young master's family. Why doesn't she take a piss and look at herself?
"You don't have to send it over. The school is a place for students to study seriously, not a place for just anyone to hang out. My master is strict in managing the household and pays attention to rules." Niu Bo took out two strings of money, counted out forty coins, and handed the rest to Qin Fangci with the same arrogant look, saying condescendingly: "It's not easy for you country people to run a small business. My master is kind-hearted and doesn't mind this little money. People should be down-to-earth and do clean business to earn clean money, so as not to harm others or themselves. Isn't that what the old lady said?"
Uncle Niu had to doubt Qin Fangci's intentions. The dried meat she sent was liked by the master and young master in the family, but she brought Li Yulan with her when she sent the dried meat.
What does this mean?
Want to exchange some dried meat with the young masters at home?
That wouldn't do. If a peasant like this could get close to him, he might as well just knock his granddaughter out and send her to the young master's bed.
Based on these, Niu Bo's behavior was very impolite. He hit and beat Li Yulan, which made her eyes red and a sharp anger welled up in her chest.
Qin Fangci took Li Yulan's hand and took the 160 copper coins.
"Uncle Niu is right. We are honest people and we make money in a clean way. Thank you for taking care of our business."
After smiling and sending Uncle Niu off, Qin Fangci let go of Li Yulan's hand. "Shedding tears is really a joke. Why do you smell someone's fart? You have your own ears. Listen to what you like and forget what you don't. It's worth it if you have the benefits in your hands."
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Qin Fangci glanced in the direction of the Liao family school. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried. Judging from the behavior of the Liao family's doorman, Li Baisong would inevitably be bullied in the school. But she believed that her child could cope with it. If he could survive such days, what difficulties and obstacles could defeat him?
When Qin Fang was looking for a school for her son, she heard that Mr. Liao had the title of Juren and that the Liao family were all good at studying.
However, one does not care about a person's character and cultivation, or in the original body's opinion, it is not normal for someone to be arrogant and look down on others.
If she had a son who was a juren, she would be even more impressive.
