The next morning, Liu Yingying brought Zhao Di and Lin Cuicui to Furong County.
The stall is still set up at the entrance of the school.
This time, she had many repeat customers. The students waited for several days before she finally set up her stall, and they all rushed over to buy her products.
In just a short while, more than thirty boxes of winter melon candy were sold.
When Lin Cuicui witnessed the booming business, she was amazed!
After counting the money and putting it in her pocket, Zhao Di looked at Liu Yingying and suggested, "Liu Niang, why don't you rest for a while, and I'll go get a few bowls of wontons from over there?"
It's so early in the morning, and none of the three of them have had a drop of water.
Liu Yingying nodded; "There are other breakfast options over there besides wontons. You and Cuicui go together, and buy whatever you want to eat. Remember to bring me a bowl of wontons afterwards, and make sure they're extra spicy!"
"Okay!" Zhao Di smiled and pulled Lin Cuicui along as they went.
Liu Yingying also sat down on the low stool she had brought from home.
He raised his hand to rub his shoulder, but inadvertently saw the carriage of that noble lady from last time.
Ning Mama, who was sitting in the carriage, had noticed her earlier and instructed Caixia beside her, "Go and buy me another bag of winter melon candy."
"yes!"
Caixia got off the carriage and walked towards Liu Yingying, but she couldn't help feeling puzzled.
The winter melon candy I bought last time was given to the servants, so why does the nanny want to buy more today?
Inside the carriage, Granny Ning looked at Liu Yingying with complicated expressions.
Yesterday, her youngest son, Sun Boguang, had already reported the information he had found to her.
Liu Yingying's parents are from Liujia Village, Ma'ao Township, Qiushui Town.
She married into Taoyuan Village, a place that didn't match her memory of the location.
However, her face was exactly the same as that person's...
Is it really possible for two people in this world to look so alike?
Granny Ning clenched the plum blossom handkerchief in her hand.
No matter what, she must not let anyone in the capital see her face!
Liu Yingying didn't pay much attention to Granny Ning and her servant. She only saw the pretty maid buy some winter melon candy and then the carriage drive away from the street...
Soon, Zhao Di and Lin Cuicui brought her back some wontons.
After the three finished breakfast, they sold ten more packs of winter melon candy.
"Liu Niang, there are only six packets left. I doubt anyone else will come here," Zhao Di said after counting the packets.
"Well, the students have all gone inside for class now, let's go somewhere else!"
Liu Yingying put away the remaining boxes of candy, preparing to test the waters near teahouses and taverns, where there was high foot traffic and strong consumer spending power...
Soon, the three of them set up a stall on the street opposite a small teahouse.
A short while later, a very impressive sedan chair suddenly stopped as it passed in front of them.
A woman's voice, which sounded clearly older, came from inside the sedan chair.
What does it taste like?
Upon hearing this, the maid in green outside glanced at Liu Yingying and the other two with disdain before respectfully replying, "Reporting to the old lady, they are candy sellers by the roadside."
"Oh, what kind of fruit are you selling?"
The maid didn't recognize the item either, so she asked Liu Yingying and the others with great disdain.
"Our old lady asked, 'What are you selling?'"
"Winter melon candy!" Liu Yingying replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Oh! Winter melon can be made into candy?" The old lady inside was clearly interested in what they were selling.
Taking the opportunity, Liu Yingying called out, "Yes, this is my family's secret recipe. It's twenty coins a pack. It's sweet and delicious, and very appetizing. Would you like to buy a box to try, Madam?"
After receiving a signal from her mistress, the maid took out twenty coins and threw them to Liu Yingying, then picked up some candied winter melon and handed it to someone inside the sedan chair.
The old lady tasted a piece of candied winter melon and praised it highly: "Hmm, it tastes very good!"
For those who are used to eating delicacies, occasionally enjoying something fresh and refreshing can be quite a treat.
After eating two more pieces, she began to feel a growing sense of hunger in her stomach.
These past few days, the old lady has been suffering from indigestion, and she can barely eat anything all day long.
But this unassuming candied winter melon seems to have the function of stimulating appetite and aiding digestion?
Just as the old lady lifted the curtain to ask them where they usually set up their stall, there was no one outside.
"Madam, what are you looking for?"
"Hey! Where's the woman who was selling winter melon candy here?"
The maidservant replied, "Reporting to the old lady, they saw a prison cart passing by just now, so they rushed over to check..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady looked slightly disappointed; "Oh, alright..."
The ten-mile-long street was already packed with people.
Today is the day to escort Meng Renhun, the chieftain of Xijiu Mountain, to the capital to await his execution in the autumn.
Those who rushed over early after hearing the news almost all carried a basket of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and some even brought their own chamber pots.
Liu Yingying, along with Zhao Di and Lin Cuicui, also tried their best to squeeze into the crowd.
She saw a line of soldiers escorting a prison cart slowly approaching from the county government office.
Meng Renhun, dressed in a death row uniform, with disheveled hair, was locked in the prison cart in a sorry state.
He seemed completely oblivious and indifferent as all sorts of filth and grime were thrown at him!
Liu Yingying opened her eyes wide and looked carefully again and again. Although he was so thin that he was unrecognizable, after confirming that it was indeed Meng Renhun himself,
She finally breathed a sigh of relief!
In fact, Liu Yingying had been somewhat uneasy ever since the Xijiu Mountain incident ended.
After all, it can be said.
It was all because he tricked and instigated Meng Renhun that Xijiu Mountain was destroyed, and he would end up with his head separated from his body.
These days, she dreams from time to time that Meng Renhun was rescued from the execution ground.
Given his ruthless nature, he certainly wouldn't let me off the hook!
To put it bluntly, as long as Meng Renhun is alive, he will always be a ticking time bomb for her!
When Meng Renhun's prison cart passed in front of her.
Liu Yingying was already mentally prepared to meet his gaze.
But Meng Renhun kept his head down and didn't look this way, as if the prison cart was just a walking corpse!
Now that Liu Yingying has found a way to make money, it's impossible to keep it a secret.
After learning that Wang Yulan and others picked wild winter melons and sold them to Liu Yingying for a considerable reward, everyone was tempted.
The village chief Wang Delu and his family were the first to approach Liu Yingying to discuss business, and they originally thought they would be rejected.
But to my surprise, she agreed immediately.
Wang Delu was overjoyed. His family was large, and they had already stocked up on over a hundred winter melons these past few days.
If Liu Yingying calculates the price at one coin per pound, then he can earn at least one tael of silver!
After he and his sons brought all the winter melons from their house over.
Liu Yingying weighed the item and immediately handed him one tael of silver and three strings of copper coins.
