Chapter 26 This young man is very rich!
Some people are cautious. Although they have grabbed a spot, they dare not enter easily.
Wait until other impatient people have eaten it.
What if you get poisoned?
It's free after all.
Some people are not so particular. They are all from the poor class in the countryside. When someone gives them food for free, they don’t think about all the twists and turns. They just eat it!
As a result, I felt a pleasant surprise as soon as I put it in my mouth.
"So sweet, so fragrant, good taste, smooth... so delicious! So delicious!!"
"It's really good! It feels comfortable as soon as it enters my throat. I've been smoking for many years and my throat has never been very good. After eating this, my throat feels relaxed and soothed. The taste is also good, sweet, and has a medicinal aroma."
"Indeed! This autumn pear paste is amazing. Um, uh, little lady, how much is it? Give me a pound!"
The first few people who ate it gave very good responses.
The remaining hesitant people quickly started eating.
After eating, everyone looked relaxed.
It's received rave reviews, "I've lived to this age, and I've never tasted anything like it. It's like sugar water, but richer and more flavorful than sugar water, more fragrant. It tastes like pear, but not pear, and has a medicinal aroma. Anyway, it's delicious and makes you feel good."
There are also people who ask about medicine.
"My grandson has been in poor health since he was young and has been coughing all the time. He doesn't like taking medicine because he thinks it tastes bitter. Will this autumn pear paste be effective?"
"Young lady, can this be given to a patient? My master is injured and coughs every day..."
Jiang Lianzhu answered them one by one, "Of course, autumn pear paste is a medicinal food. It can cure diseases and prevent them. It can also promote salivation and relieve coughs."
Immediately, a young man threw five taels of silver in front of Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Give me two pounds."
This made the others who asked about the price of autumn pear paste stunned.
This guy is very rich!
Could it be that this young lady hired someone to help her?
How can you offer five taels of silver without even asking the price?
How can they afford it at this price? It seems that they don’t deserve it?
Jiang Lianzhu still smiled. "Sir, you don't need so much money. My pear paste is not particularly rich, so it can't be sold at such a high price."
"Then how much silver do you want per pound?" Xiang You also felt that he was rash, but there was nothing he could do. After the master was rescued, he was seriously injured and coughed every day. Every cough would cause the wounds on his body to hurt, and it was very painful. As his subordinates, they felt distressed when they saw this.
In this small place, the doctors' skills are limited and they can't prescribe any good medicine.
The master was unwilling to return to the capital to recuperate, saying that he had already come out and could not give up halfway just because of a minor injury.
Don't go back until you complete the task.
Now he has finally come across a medicinal food that sounds effective. Can he let it go?
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Today is my first time selling Autumn Pear Paste. I'm offering a 50% discount. The usual price is 400 wen per catty, but today it's only 200 wen per catty. I only have 4 catties left, so I'm not selling it by the catty, I'm selling it by the liang, 20 wen per liang."
Now, the other villagers were happy.
They may not be able to afford two hundred wen, but they still have twenty wen, so they can buy it back and let the whole family try it.
The price is fair and not particularly expensive.
When Xiang You heard this, he became anxious.
How can one or two ounces be enough for the master to eat?
"Young lady, please be flexible. I have a patient at home who coughs every day and is in a serious condition. If you can't sell me two kilograms, can you sell me one kilogram? I'll buy it from you at the original price! Please, help me out."
Jiang Lianzhu is considering it.
Dabao next to him said, "Mom, just agree to it. Special circumstances require special treatment."
Jiang Lianzhu's problem is that she can't stand what her son says, and she has to give face to her son no matter what he says.
"Okay. But one pound is too much. The leaves we prepared can't hold it. You should find something to hold it yourself."
Xiang You was so happy that he left four hundred coins and ran back to get the jar.
The rest of the villagers started buying one or two taels each. Dabao and Erbao helped Jiang Lianzhu, one passing the leaves and the other counting the money.
Dabao had learned to count from his father Wang Laowu before, and could count from one to one hundred.
Since ancient times, the principle of doing business is that where there are more people, there will be popularity. The news quickly spread throughout the small Shili Town. Today, a young lady came to the market to sell autumn pear paste. Her homemade autumn pear paste was very delicious. Word spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. People all came to watch the fun and buy the novelty.
Jiang Lianzhu brought little autumn pear paste, and even if she sold it by the ounces, there were not enough people to buy it.
It sold out very quickly.
The mother and her two children closed the stall.
Jiang Lianzhu put away the hanging banner carefully and would use it tomorrow.
Dabao and his cubs felt like they were in a dream and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Such a large amount of change adds up to a full tael of silver.
After the crowd dispersed, Erbao asked Jiang Lianzhu, "Mom, this autumn pear paste actually sold for so much money! If we had known earlier, we would have eaten less last night and saved more to sell."
Last night, the three brothers and sisters ate at least half a pound.
That’s a hundred coins!
In addition, autumn pear paste is made from wild pears in the mountains that no one eats. It is equivalent to a business with no capital investment, and can be sold for one or two taels of silver later.
This is simply incredible!
Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "It's okay, aren't you enjoying your meal? Let's go back and pick some pears and continue cooking."
After hearing this, Dabao couldn't help but quicken his pace, "Let's go back and pick pears."
This is like money falling from the sky!
He knew that money was hard to come by. Even the rich families in the village who owned land could not earn much money by selling their crops all year round.
If you just go to the mountains and pick some wild fruits, process them and sell them for one or two taels of silver.
We didn't pick much yesterday. My mother said we only picked about ten pounds and sold them for one or two taels of silver.
If you pick more in a day, more than a hundred pounds, can't you sell it for more than ten taels of silver?
Dabao was calculating quickly in his mind and his pace quickened involuntarily.
The excitement and playfulness that we had when we first entered the market are gone.
I just want to go back to the mountains and pick wild pears!
Jiang Lianzhu pulled him, "Don't be so anxious, we still need to buy some sugar. We don't have enough sugar at home. Mom dug some medicinal herbs yesterday and sold them at the clinic. We still need some more things at home, so there's no need to rush."
Erbao was also anxious, "Mom, how can I not be anxious? Just now, several people from our village knew that Mom made autumn pear paste with wild pears. They must also know that our wild pears are picked from the mountains. What if we rush to pick them? We will go back too late and there will be no pears left."
Jiang Lianzhu laughed out loud. "It's okay, it's okay. There are so many wild pears in the mountains. Even if the whole village went to pick them, it would take days. Besides, they would be useless if they picked them. They don't know how to make the pears, so it would be a waste."
