Chapter 118: Cheap and Affordable (Part 2)
When the young woman heard the price, she thought it was acceptable. However, she was still a little uncertain and asked, "Is it really delicious?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's really delicious. I guarantee you'll want to buy more after you try it."
"This is our exclusive secret recipe. You can't buy it anywhere else. The taste is very different. You won't be cheated or fooled by the three cents you paid. It's hot from the pot."
"And you can smell the aroma. It must be delicious."
"Honestly, many of our regular customers are fans of our chive boxes."
"We're just locals here. We don't do business just once. We just want everyone to enjoy the food and become repeat customers, so they can come back and take care of our business..."
Jiang Zhiluo talked a lot.
The young woman smiled and said, "Okay, then buy two chive boxes."
The young woman was reluctant to buy more, and planned to give one to her husband and one to her daughter, and she would not need to eat any herself.
Jiang Zhiluo quickly wrapped up the two fried chive boxes and handed them to the young woman, who gave her six cents.
She took out one and handed it to her daughter, saying, "Here, eat slowly."
The little girl ate as she walked, blowing on the food and taking bite after bite. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Mom, it's delicious."
Seeing her daughter's happy expression, the young woman breathed a sigh of relief.
When they got to the stall, the young woman gave the other chive box to her husband to eat.
Her husband was reluctant to eat it, so he let her eat it.
The two of them took turns eating.
Just then, a guest came over. Smelling the delicious food and watching them eat, especially the little girl's joyful look while eating, people couldn't help but become curious.
"Girl, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good."
The young woman smiled and said, "It's not anything delicious. I just bought some leek dumplings at the stall over there. They were three cents each. I was worried they wouldn't taste good."
"Don't tell me, it tastes really good. It tastes different from other things. It looks like a pie, but it's not a pie either."
At this time, the little girl said crisply: "Mom, there are eggs."
The young woman said, "Indeed, the eggs look quite large, and three cents is not expensive at all."
At this time, the lady who asked the question also went to Jiang Zhiluo's stall with a basket.
"My dear, I want to buy six of those boxes." Her daughter-in-law and daughter both weave cloth, and the family has a lot of land and is well off. Every time she goes to the market, she will come to the market to buy some delicious food for her family to try.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's leek dumplings, it will be ready soon."
In this way, people came one after another to buy things early in the morning, some buying pot cakes and some buying leek boxes.
But most people still buy leek boxes.
Because three cents is cheap.
Everyone is just trying to fill their stomachs anyway, so just having some hot food is enough.
After selling chive dumplings for a while, Jiang Zhiluo understood the difference between the village market and the stalls in town.
"Mom, I feel like people go to the village market more for the best value. Guokui has meat, but for a couple of cents more, people still choose leek boxes, even if they taste better."
Madam Cui nodded and said, "That's right. I came here to the market before because I wanted to find cheap things."
"You see, now that everyone in our village has copper coins, they rarely go to town together to buy things. They all go to the village market to buy things."
"But in those villages with better conditions, villagers like to go to the town for a stroll and a look."
"You think these pot cakes won't be unsaleable?"
Mrs. Cui was worried that everyone would only buy chive dumplings and not pot cakes.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Don't worry, Mom. The market doesn't close until the evening. We'll definitely be able to sell out in a whole day. If we can't, we can go to the dock."
"Yes, yes."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui felt relieved.
As if she had thought of something, Madam Cui said, "Zhiluo, will your parents come to the market? We have prepared some food, and if they do, we can give them some food."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. Thinking that her parents would come to set up a stall, she said, "My parents should come to set up a stall to sell straw sandals."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui hurriedly said, "Maybe he hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's fry some chive dumplings and pot cakes and send them over."
Jiang Zhiluo didn't refuse. She wanted to say thank you, but she also knew that saying thank you would be too awkward.
"Yeah, okay."
There weren't many people buying things at this time. Old Madam Cui fried leek dumplings and pot cakes, while Jiang Zhiluo went to find her parents first to see where their stall was.
Jiang Zhiluo was walking in the market, looking back and forth at the stalls on both sides.
After walking for a while, when I went around to the other side, I saw my parents' stall.
Dad and Mom brought Xuanxuan to set up a stall.
"Dad, Mom, Xuanxuan."
Jiang Zhiluo knew that if her parents went to the market to set up a stall, they would usually only bring Xuanxuan with them, and her second brother and the others would work at home.
"Sister." Xuanxuan was sitting obediently on a small stool. When he saw Jiang Zhiluo coming, he quickly stood up and ran towards Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo was afraid that he would be bumped into by the crowd, so she quickly went over, squatted down and picked him up.
Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye were also very happy to see Zhiluo coming.
"Zhiluo, are you here at the market too?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Yes, come with my mother-in-law to set up a stall and make some food."
Jiang Zhiluo took out six Guokui and said, "Dad and Mom, you guys eat Guokui."
“This is the food I just researched.”
Ye quickly waved her hand and said, "Mom, your dad, and Xuanxuan have all had breakfast. You can make some food and sell it for money. Don't worry about us."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, I've brought it all here. You, Dad, and Xuanxuan can help me taste it."
"I don't know if it's delicious or not. If you try it, I'll have an opinion."
Jiang Zhiluo was very persistent.
She took one and put it in Xuanxuan's hand and said, "Xuanxuan, eat it."
Xuanxuan looked at his parents, then extended his hand to Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Sister works hard in business. Xuanxuan is not hungry, so you don't need to eat."
Although he was still young, he knew that his sister had a hard time.
"Sister wants to make money to build a house."
Jiang Zhiluo listened to Xuanxuan's words, feeling both sad and warm in her heart, "Xuanxuan, help me taste the flavor. I'm not tired, I've already started building the house."
"After the house is built, Xuanxuan and his parents will go to his sister's house for dinner."
When a house is built here, there is a custom of eating in a warm pot.
Xuanxuan became excited when he heard this.
"Eat it while it's hot, Xuanxuan. If you don't, your sister will be sad."
Jiang Zhiluo deliberately showed a sad look, Xuanxuan quickly reached out and touched Jiang Zhiluo's eyebrows and said, "Sister, don't be sad, Xuanxuan, eat."
"So good."
Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye Shi felt helpless and heartbroken when they saw their daughter speak like this, and started eating as well.
After eating it, both of them were stunned.
"Is this called a pot cake? It's so delicious?"
Jiang Xiangchuan was also stunned and said, "I have indeed never eaten food like this."
Xuanxuan also nodded vigorously and obediently, "Yeah, it's delicious. Sister made it delicious."
Seeing her parents and Xuanxuan enjoying their meal, Jiang Zhiluo was also very happy.
"I'll teach my parents how to make it later, and they can make it and eat it every day."
