The regular customer, who had bought twenty catties of crayfish before, was unmoved by Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's sales pitch. He just urged Wan Shu to pack it up quickly because he was eager to eat it.
The young customer who was only buying a pound of pork offal was drawn to the word "cheap" and turned to ask them.
"How much cheaper is it than hers?"
"Much cheaper! Pork offal is thirty coins a pound, and we sell crayfish for only twenty coins a pound!"
The price was almost half that of Wan Shu's braised food. Without hesitation, the young customer told Wan Shu that he didn't want it and turned to Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's stall.
After walking over, the young customer was somewhat disappointed.
"Your braised food looks nice in color, but it doesn't smell as good as hers."
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin smiled broadly.
"Ours may not smell as good, but I guarantee it tastes even better than theirs!"
"Besides, this is for eating, not for smelling, so why does it need to smell so good!"
The young man thought about it and realized that it made sense.
What's the use of fragrance? The important thing is that it tastes good. So he suggested that he wanted to try some and taste it first.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin immediately and firmly refused.
"That won't do. My family already sells at low prices with low profit margins. How can we be like some unscrupulous merchants who are so generous in giving out samples?"
"Young master, my wife and I have been selling sesame cakes at this spot for years. Our skills are renowned, and everyone who has tried them says they are delicious. Are you worried that we'll fool you?"
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin have been able to set up a stall here to sell sesame cakes for several years, so the sesame cakes they make must taste pretty good.
Young customers have bought sesame cakes from his shop several times and have always praised them highly.
Seeing that the young man's expression had softened, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin exchanged a glance and pressed on.
"Young master, today is our first day selling braised food, and you are our first customer."
"If you're willing to trust us, buy a pound of pork offal and we'll give you half a pound of crayfish for free!"
Young customers were initially attracted by the word "cheap," and when they heard that it was only ten cents cheaper, and that they would get half a pound of crayfish for free with every pound purchased, they were even more excited.
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely worthwhile deal!
The young customer no longer hesitated and readily paid thirty coins for a pound of pork offal and half a pound of crayfish.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin deliberately made a clattering sound as they rummaged through the thirty coins the young customer had paid them, looking quite pleased with themselves.
Dazhu, Sanshun, and Siya all looked furious.
"Mother! They've gone too far!"
“They not only steal our business, but they also imitate our initial sales methods and learn how to attract customers!”
"They're still acting so smug, it's outrageous! I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
Siya, without a word of argument, picked up a weight and thought about picking a fight again.
Wan Shu pulled her back helplessly: "How can you, a young girl, have such a bad temper? Let alone whether you can beat them or not, even if you do, if you hurt them, you'll have to pay compensation."
Siya said angrily, "We can't just watch them steal our business!"
Wan Shu: "Don't worry, they can't steal our business. They're just digging their own grave."
Si Ya: "What? They made the swords for their father? They're not fighting a war, so why would they need swords?"
Dazhu: "Could it be that someone in their family joined the army?"
Even the smartest Sam-soon looked puzzled: "Even if they're soldiers, how is that sword related to their father?"
Wan Shu: "..." I almost forgot that all five of her kids are illiterate and can't read a single character. They can't understand any slightly complicated idioms at all!
Now that she has a little money in hand, it's time to find them a tutor or send them to school for their early education.
Although setting up a stall and farming doesn't require knowledge from books, it's never a bad thing to learn more.
Moreover, she wanted to give them as many future possibilities and choices as possible, and didn't want them to be trapped in such a small county town for the rest of their lives.
It just so happens that they prepared a small amount of braised food today.
Although Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, along with several other vendors, were competing with them for business, their braised food had already established a good reputation, and their 30 jin of pork offal and 40 jin of crayfish sold out quickly.
Before Uncle Erniu arrived, she took her three children and inquired her way to Dongcheng Academy, the largest academy in Sishui County.
The East City Academy was very large. Wan Shu followed the directions given by passersby but still couldn't find the academy's main gate.
Fortunately, a middle-aged man dressed in a school uniform walked up ahead.
The man was tall and had regular features, but his eyes were the kind of three-white eyes that Wan Shu disliked, giving him a shifty and dishonest look.
Wan Shu didn't think too much about it since she was just asking for directions, and went straight up to the man to ask.
"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. I'd like to go to the gate of Dongcheng Academy. Could you please give me directions?"
Wan Shu felt that she had done a very good job in asking for directions, and her expression was also very sincere.
But when the man heard her words, he showed a look of disgust.
"Is this yet another tactic you use to get my attention?"
"Ha, you've done something so outrageous, do you think I'd forgive you? An ignorant country bumpkin like you is not worthy of me at all!"
Having said that, she raised her head high, like a proud rooster, and left with an air of noble aloofness.
? ? ?
Wan Shu stared at his retreating figure, her mind filled with questions. She really wanted to chase after him and ask, "Brother, did you just escape from a mental hospital?"
But in the end, she didn't catch up.
Because she noticed that Dazhu, Sanshun, and Siya were all looking at the man's back with a particularly strange expression.
Wan Shu: "You know him?"
Dazhu scratched his head, looking embarrassed: "I wouldn't say we know each other..."
Siya looked at him strangely: "Mother, don't you remember him?"
Just as Wan Shu was about to nod, San Shun said from the side, "That is Su Fan."
What? Su Fan!
Isn't that the original owner's lover?
Wan Shu was completely dumbfounded.
She inherited the original owner's memories, so she shouldn't have failed to recognize Su Fan. However, in the original owner's memories, Su Fan was completely different from the person from before!
In the original owner's memories, Su Fan was tall, handsome, dashing, and possessed a refined, scholarly air.
As for the real-life Su Fan, well, he is indeed quite tall, but he has a hunchback and looks very ugly.
Although his features were regular, he couldn't be described as handsome.
As for being dashing and having a refined, scholarly air, that's utter nonsense. Those three-white eyes alone are just plain ugly.
What's even more disastrous is that Su Fan's head is bald!
She truly couldn't understand how love-struck the original owner of this body had to be to romanticize a hunchbacked, sleazy, bald man in her memories into a refined and cultured gentleman.
