Seeing a group of people approaching, Jiang Yanqing cleared her throat and started shouting, "Grapes for sale! Big, sweet grapes!"
“Try before you buy. If it doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to pay!”
The clear girl's voice echoed in the air, causing quite a stir.
At any time, free things are always attractive. Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yanqing finished speaking, the people who were walking over stopped.
One of the young girls asked, "Are these grapes really free?"
Jiang Yanqing laughed and replied, "That's a good question, beautiful lady. You can try my grapes before you buy them. If you don't like them after trying them, you can eat them for free."
As he spoke, he directly picked up a small bowl next to him, which contained about ten washed grapes, and handed it to the front, "Come on, come on, try it first."
The young woman who spoke first reached out and picked up a grape, put it in her mouth and gently crushed it. A sweet taste spread in her mouth.
Surprised, he asked, "Why are your grapes so sweet?"
Jiang Yanqing said, "This is my family's old grape tree. I water it with good water. Not only does it bear fruit earlier than other trees, but it's also extra sweet."
The young girl nodded and said, "I want to buy some to take back. How much is one pound?"
Jiang Yanqing pointed to the card next to her, which showed the price written on it before she left the house, and replied, "40 cents a pound, one dollar for three pounds."
The price is a bit expensive. After all, one pound of grapes can buy three pounds of rice and flour. However, grapes are not on the market yet, so they are rare to eat. In addition, Jiang Yanqing's grapes are really delicious, so almost everyone who has tried them buys them.
The young girl even bought six kilograms directly, saying that she would take it back and share it. Jiang Yanqing then gave her half a kilogram more, because this girl was the first one to show her support!
Jiang Yanqing was responsible for communicating with the guests, and Fang Mingxiao was responsible for collecting money. Although there were quite a lot of guests coming in, there was no panic at all.
After almost half of the items were sold, the number of customers gradually decreased, and Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao were finally able to sit aside and take a break.
Jiang Yanqing's mouth was dry from talking, but she couldn't drink cold water, so she brought a kettle filled with hot water. The water was still warm now, just right to drink.
Looking at Fang Mingxiao standing aside, Jiang Yanqing said casually, "There's a small shop over there, go buy a bottle of soda!"
Fang Mingxiao shook his head, "I'm not thirsty."
It was such a hot day, Jiang Yanqing had no choice but to avoid having a stomachache again, so she didn't dare touch anything cold. How could Fang Mingxiao, a young man full of vigor and vitality, not feel hot?
Jiang Yanqing glared at Fang Mingxiao and said, "Go quickly, or you'll get heatstroke. How am I supposed to run such a big business by myself?"
Fang Mingxiao frowned and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked towards the small shop.
Soon, Fang Mingxiao came back, but in his hand, besides a bottle of orange soda, he also had a paper bag.
Jiang Yanqing was sitting under the tree, looking around boredly, and from time to time he would pull off a grape and put it in his mouth.
Fang Mingxiao walked closer and handed the paper bag in his hand to Jiang Yanqing. "There's a place selling leek boxes over there. I bought two."
Jiang Yanqing took the paper bag with surprise. She was a little hungry after being busy all morning and was just thinking about what to eat for lunch!
When I opened the paper bag, I saw that it was indeed filled with leek boxes the size of two adult men's palms. This is also a common food in the north.
The unique aroma of leeks lingered at the tip of Jiang Yanqing's nose, instantly whetting her appetite.
Awoo took a big bite and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.
When one was almost finished, Jiang Yanqing finally reacted, looked up at Fang Mingxiao and asked, "You only bought two?"
Fang Mingxiao held the empty soda bottle in his hand, nodded, and stared at Jiang Yanqing's face with a strange look in his eyes.
Jiang Yanqing thought Fang Mingxiao thought his eating manners were too ugly, so she turned away and said, "Buy two more when you return the bottle later. It won't be enough."
A soft "hmm" sound came from behind, and Fang Mingxiao came out from behind with the bottle. Before leaving, he turned to look at Jiang Yanqing and pointed to his lips.
After Fang Mingxiao walked a long way away, Jiang Yanqing reached out and touched her lips. A small piece of soft chives was stuck on her finger.
Jiang Yanqing looked up at the sky speechlessly. No wonder Fang Mingxiao had that expression just now. Is this leek a bad omen for itself?
When Fang Mingxiao came back and handed her the leek box, Jiang Yanqing said weakly without raising her head, "Eat quickly. You can work better after you're full."
In fact, he was embarrassed to look at Fang Mingxiao. After such repeated unexpected mistakes, even the strongest heart would have to slow down.
Fang Mingxiao curled his lips slightly, leaned against a tree and started eating, but his eyes fell on someone's head, always with some meaningful look in them.
