If I tell him that I live in Qingping Mountain, will it scare the shopkeeper?
Kang Yueran smiled faintly, "We live outside the city, and we'll bring goods into the city every three days. We'll come to each shop and ask, if the shop has sold out of their goods, you can keep some, if it's not selling well, you don't have to ask for more."
It costs five taels of silver per person to enter the city, and coming once every three days is considered quite frequent.
Shopkeeper Wan said, "Okay! It's settled then."
Kang Yueran took out five pieces of thick soup and five salted eggs. "This is made by boiling pork bones and spices for several hours. Once you put it in hot water, it will dissolve and become a pot of thick bone soup. You can drink it directly by adding some salt.
Or you can put some soup noodles, vegetables, or whatever in the soup, and it's delicious and very convenient. The salted eggs are already pickled and cooked, and I'll send them to Shopkeeper Wan to try."
If you send these two items to a restaurant, they probably won't accept them, but like dried meat, they are very suitable for eating on the road.
After saying goodbye to Manager Wan, Kang Yueran carried the lunch box and went to the next house.
Large dim sum shops do not accept outside food. If you think the food is good, you will only buy the house, so Kang Yueran only looks for small and medium-sized shops.
There are shopkeepers like Manager Wan who are easy to talk to, and there are also shopkeepers like Manager Yang of Jiuxianzhai who are difficult to talk to.
Shopkeeper Yang tried the dim sum and, like Shopkeeper Wan, was very interested in the golden cake, egg yolk cake, and dried meat. However, the difference was that it was not the dim sum that interested him, but the recipe.
"Little girl, who made this dessert? What's the recipe?"
"I don't sell houses, only snacks. Shopkeeper Yang, my snacks are very cheap. If you buy them from me and then sell them at a higher price, you can still make a lot of money."
With the recipe, you can earn more. Shopkeeper Yang was furious. "Little girl, you are wrong. The recipe of your pastry is very similar to the recipe of my family's lost pastry, which is my family's ancestral recipe.
Hurry up and return the recipe to me, or I will sue you at the government office. Little girl, do you know that stealing will lead to imprisonment?
Kang Yueran wanted to laugh, "Even if you want to cheat me of the recipe, at least come up with a better reason.
"Inherited from ancestors? Do you have any ancestors? If your ancestors knew that you were using their names to defraud people, they would probably jump out of their graves and beat you, their unfilial descendants."
Niu Dayan was also very angry. He stepped forward and put the snack back into the food box. "My snacks, a disobedient and unfilial person like you don't deserve to eat them."
Kang Yueran wore fine cloth and Niu Dayan wore coarse cloth, and it was obvious that they were people with no money and no power.
Shopkeeper Yang was not afraid at all. He stood up and pointed at Kang Yueran and cursed: "Who do you two think you are? How dare you scold me? My son is a city guard. Be careful, he will chop off your heads. Leave the recipe to me, otherwise...ah...it hurts..."
Kang Yueran squeezed Manager Yang's arm a little harder, then released it. "I'm here to sell you something. You don't have to buy it, but if you try to steal my recipe, you're blind."
Shopkeeper Yang rubbed his arm and said, "You dare to hurt me? Tell me your name, and I will make your life miserable."
Kang Yueran smiled faintly, "How can you find me just by giving your name? How about I take you to my house to get familiar with it?
I have a large family and they are all very hospitable. Manager Yang can stay for a few more days."
This made Shopkeeper Yang stunned. "Don't think I don't dare. I'm not afraid of anyone. My son is holding a knife. If you dare to touch me, just try it."
"With a knife? That's really quite humble. I don't have a knife at home. But, there are wolves next door to my house."
A pack of wolves? Shopkeeper Yang gasped in fear, "You, you, you are the Qingping Mountain bandits?"
"It's true that I'm from Qingping Mountain, but who is the bandit between us?"
He had robbed the bandit's ancestors, and Shopkeeper Yang really wanted to slap himself. "Bandit girl, I, I really didn't mean to..."
"Whether it's intentional or not is not my business, but if I hear rumors that damage my business, I will use your neck to test your son's knife to see if it's really as good as you say!"
Shopkeeper Yang nodded his head like pounding rice, "Yes, yes, I will definitely not say anything nonsense, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."
Kang Yueran looked at Niu Dayan and said, "Pick up the lunch box and let's go!"
Niu Dayan spat and said, "Be careful!"
When you interact with people, you will meet good people and bad people, which is normal.
Kang Yueran quickly adjusted her attitude, and when she saw the next shopkeeper, she smiled warmly again.
Her dim sum was cheap and tasted good. After a day of shopping, she reached agreements with eight shops in total.
After staying in the courtyard for one night, Kang Yueran took Niu Dayan out to sell mint ointment and lip balm.
She chose Zhu Yan Fang, whose owner's surname was Zhu. She wasn't stunningly good-looking, but she was very attractive.
Shopkeeper Zhu unscrewed the box of mint cream and first became interested in the porcelain bottle. "Where did you buy this bottle?"
Kang Yueran replied, "My master brought it over from the south for me and asked someone to burn it for me."
"Not bad, not bad. That's a clever idea." She sniffed the mint ointment and felt refreshed. "Mint can prevent and treat mosquito bites. A bottle of this will last a long time. Can it be stored well?"
It contains preservatives, so the shelf life is fine. "It can be kept for at least two years, so it's essential to buy two bottles to keep at home."
"Peppermint cream not only repels mosquitoes, but can also prevent seasickness and motion sickness when applied to the temples; it can relieve colds when applied under the nose; and it's also effective for facial acne."
Shopkeeper Zhu laughed, "According to what you said, this mint ointment is almost a miracle drug."
"God's creation is so amazing. Mint is everywhere. Although it can't cure serious diseases, it has many uses."
"The little girl is quite eloquent, which makes your father look useless."
Niu Dayan quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I'm not her father, I'm her buddy, she's our boss."
