She and Sister Yuying ate one each, and saved the remaining two for Lin Huzi and the others.
Gradually, more and more people came to the morning market. Some people saw that they were unfamiliar with the women and came over to see what they were selling.
Lin Wanwan went to borrow a knife from next door, took out a few and cut them into small pieces. If anyone wanted to buy them, they could try them first.
An old man who was buying buns nearby saw that there were only two jars in front of them, so he came up to ask.
"What are you selling?"
Lin Wanwan smiled at him and picked up a candied date with chopsticks. Seeing this, Li Yuying also picked up a hawthorn ball from another jar.
"Sir, we sell sweets. The one in my hand is candied dates, and the one in my sister-in-law's hand is a sugar snowball."
“How do you sell this?”
At this time, Lin Wanwan put down the candied dates in her hand and took out the ones she had chopped earlier.
"You can try it first to see if it suits your taste."
The old man smiled and nodded, picked up a small piece of candied date and put it in his mouth. He was amazed by the taste as soon as he took a bite.
"Hmm, these dates taste really good. Hmm! These snowballs are good too. Are they mountain reds?"
"Yes! This mountain red has the effects of helping food and strengthening the stomach, promoting qi and dispersing blood stasis, clearing turbidity and reducing fat. You can eat some often if you have bloating or loss of appetite."
"Hey, you know a lot, little girl! Come, weigh two pounds for me!"
Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Aren't you going to ask about the price again?"
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You just tempted me to eat it because you were afraid that I would think it was expensive. Why, are you willing to tell me now?"
"Hey, my dates are indeed more expensive because the sugar inside is also expensive. Dates are 25 wen per pound, and sugar snowballs are 20 wen per pound. The sugar snowballs that haven't been pitted are 30 wen per two pounds."
The old man nodded. "Well, the price is indeed not cheap, but it is fair. How about this, give me one pound of candied dates and two pounds of sugar snowballs without pits."
"Okay!"
Lin Wanwan put oil paper on the scale, and Li Yuying was responsible for bearing the weight. After weighing, she put a few more pieces in, wrapped them up and handed them to him.
"You are our first guest. We will give you an extra two taels of silver each time you come."
The old man took it and paid the money, then sighed, "You look young, but you are quite good at business. How about this? Every five days, you can send a portion to Zhouji Cloth Shop. It can be the same as what I bought today. When you go there, tell the clerk that it is what Shopkeeper Zhou wants."
"Okay, I've made a note of it. Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to you first when the time comes."
Shopkeeper Zhou picked up his things and strolled back.
Li Yuying shook her arms excitedly and couldn't help exclaiming, "Wanwan, we are open now. The shopkeeper is a big customer this week!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and patted her hands, "Sister-in-law, calm down! We will get to know more people in the future."
"Yeah, yes, someone else is coming, hurry up, get ready..."
Lin Wanwan laughed and decided to serve the customers first.
In a short while, they sold more than ten kilograms of candied dates and more than twenty kilograms of hawthorn balls.
At this time, a young boy came from the easternmost market. Judging from his clothes, he should be from a wealthy family.
Lin Wanwan immediately shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. The candied dates are as sweet as honey. They are even sweeter than honey. The sour and sweet sugar snowballs are good for stimulating appetite and helping digestion. I guarantee you will be happy after eating them..."
The young boy stepped forward hesitantly.
"Is it really as delicious as you say?"
Lin Wanwan took out the broken pieces and handed them to him.
"Young man, try it first. If you don't like it, just don't buy it."
The young boy picked up a piece of hawthorn and tasted it. His eyes lit up immediately. He then tasted a piece of candied date and couldn't help saying, "It's really delicious! Come on, weigh two kilograms for me."
Li Yuying weighed it for him skillfully, and Lin Wanwan packed it and handed it to him.
He happily took it, put down a piece of silver and ran away, "Don't leave yet, wait for me!"
Li Yuying yelled from behind: "Hey, I haven't given you your change yet!"
But the young boy had already run far away.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, he will be back soon, let's just wait."
Here, the young boy ran back to the mansion carrying his things.
Before I even walked into the house, I heard the sound of bowls breaking.
"Ugh... Ugh! I won't drink this crappy medicine! Try it, it's getting more and more bitter. I can't eat after I finish it. I won't drink it anymore. Don't bring it to me anymore..."
"Master, don't be angry. How can you get better quickly if you don't take the medicine..."
"I don't want to drink! You drink if you want!"
"Young Master..."
The young boy hurried in carrying his things.
"Sir, guess what good stuff I bought for you this morning?"
"Ah Qiu is back? Bought some candy again?"
I saw a handsome young man leaning on the couch with his eyes closed. His cheeks were a little thin and he looked a little sick. When he heard Sui Tong's voice, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
