Chapter 31 Sold out!
A skinny, high-cheeked man wearing a red armband shouted coldly, "Great! You've actually managed to get into business with the Xi family!"
Although there was no crackdown on commerce at that time like in previous years, Lin Xianxian was definitely the first person in history who dared to do business at the train station.
Jiang Cheng quietly held Lin Xianxian's hand. If this man was aggressive, Jiang Cheng would fight with him, and Xianxian could take the opportunity to escape. Even if the sky fell, he would hold it up.
Lin Xianxian was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. If she was caught and imprisoned, could they leave some money for her?
She immediately calmed down, "I...I didn't, which eye did you see it with?"
Lin Xianxian herself was a little impressed. She was so bold in telling such lies!
The skinny man was not willing to be outdone, "You still dare to be so stubborn? I clearly saw you just now..."
At this time, Zhu Shuhuai stood up with a smile, "Oh, comrade, you misunderstood!"
"I'm Zhu Shuhuai, the deputy head of the literary troupe. This is my niece. We came to the provincial capital to visit relatives. They had so much delicious food at home, and I was worried she'd get suffocated in the heat, so I told her to take it out and eat it. Don't get me wrong, we mean well!"
The skinny man looked Zhu Shuhuai up and down, and knew at a glance that he was a cadre. There was really no need to offend him for such a small matter.
None of the people in the waiting room thought of exposing them. After all, he was a big leader and there was no benefit in offending him.
Lin Xianxian was quick-witted and immediately took out two servings of lotus leaf rice. "Uncle, please don't take it to heart because I'm young and can't talk. Take two servings of lotus leaf rice back to try it. It's my token of appreciation!"
The skinny man smiled with wrinkles all over his face. "Oh, that's very polite. Thank you!"
He took the lotus leaf rice, smiled and waved, nodding to Zhu Shuhuai and Lin Xianxian, "Captain Zhu, you guys get busy!"
Only after the skinny man left did Lin Xianxian breathe a sigh of relief.
She kept thanking Zhu Shuhuai, "Uncle, thank you so much for what you did just now!"
Jiang Cheng bowed respectfully. After all, there were very few cadres like him who cared about the people.
Lin Xianxian immediately took out two packets of lotus leaf rice and two packets of pork offal from her bag. "Uncle Zhu, this is a little gift from me. You must accept it!"
Zhu Shuhuai accepted them all with a smile, but stubbornly took out four dollars.
Lin Xianxian waved her hands repeatedly, but Zhu Shuhuai was firm, "Let's put it this way. No one's things are blown away by the wind. We must respect the fruits of your labor!"
Zhu Shuhuai held his head high and chest puffed out. In his eyes, doing business was a way to make money based on one's ability, and it was glorious just like being a worker.
Lin Xianxian felt respected and smiled generously without any hesitation.
"Uncle Zhu, goodbye!"
The waiting room had already been sold out, and he was ready to move on.
When everyone heard that she wanted to eat lotus leaf rice, they stopped her and bought some more lotus leaf rice to take home or eat on the way.
Jiang Cheng lent a hand while glancing towards the door of the waiting room from time to time. He couldn't let that skinny guy get hold of anything again.
After Lin Xianxian sold all these things, the basket became much lighter, with only forty or fifty lotus leaf rice bowls and thirty portions of pork offal left.
Lin Xianxian walked out of the waiting room and just as she reached the exit, a train arrived at the station.
Passengers were eager to return home and swarmed to the exit. Lin Xianxian took advantage of the fact that no conductor was paying attention and called out in a clear voice: "Lotus leaf rice, sweet lotus leaf rice. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you!"
Lin Xianxian opened a lotus leaf rice, and the fragrance instantly filled the air. The passengers were already hungry, and now they were even more hungry.
"Comrade, how are you selling the rice in your hand?"
A tired middle-aged man asked, dragging his heavy luggage. There were so many people in the train restaurant just now that he couldn't get any food.
If he didn't eat a bite of food, he felt like he would faint at any moment.
"One dollar and two cents!"
