Chapter 36 Snack Broadcast
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and waited for the next trip.
Soon, the next oxcart arrived, and Jiang Lianzhu, her mother, and her son sat on it comfortably. There was no noise or chatter, and they felt more comfortable.
Arriving at the morning market, it was even more lively than yesterday.
Jiang Lianzhu bought breakfast for the three children as usual. They had big meat buns yesterday, but today they changed the taste and had wontons and fried dough sticks.
The wontons are fragrant and delicious, and the fried dough sticks are crispy.
Fried dough sticks are one cent more expensive than big meat buns. Oil is too refined and expensive, and fried things are all expensive.
The three kids had never eaten fried dough sticks before, and they had a unique flavor.
The three cubs were sweating all over after eating, and they shouted that it was very satisfying and delicious.
If they come again tomorrow, they can eat all the food at the morning market one by one.
After eating, they went to the place where they set up their stall yesterday, but there was already someone there. They were people from the same village, also selling autumn pear paste. There were several people gathered there.
"Pah! What the hell is this!"
"This is completely different from what we sold yesterday. It's obviously fake. The autumn pear paste they sell is crystal clear, and this is some black, sticky, hemp water..."
"You've got the nerve to sell this rip-off for a hundred coins a pound! I wouldn't even want it if it were given to me!"
"Refund, refund!"
…
Jiang Lianzhu avoided this dangerous place and quietly came to a more remote place, where she hung up her cloth tent as usual.
The big words "Qiuli Gao" fluttered in the wind.
Then he put a straw mat on the ground and put the little girl sitting on it.
Then, he slowly and methodically placed the autumn pear pastes out one by one.
"Selling autumn pear paste! Authentic Jiang's autumn pear paste! As usual today, there are twenty free samples. Don't miss it if you're passing by!"
Jiang started shouting.
Erbao also followed suit and shouted loudly, repeating whatever Jiang Lianzhu called.
The two of them, one big and one small, were performing like a big show, and everyone's attention was focused on them.
"Oh, that's them! A young woman with three children! They were the ones who sold the autumn pear paste yesterday..."
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't know if the portion is big today. Yesterday they said the portion was small and each person could only buy one or two taels. I have to buy more today."
"Go ahead and try it first, it's free!"
…
A swarm of people surrounded Jiang Lianzhu and her friends' stall.
Dabao was small and calm. He stood by to maintain order. "Uncles, aunties, first come first served. Don't push people over."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Line up first. You can get a free taste if you line up. No one will get a free taste if you don't line up. There is a limit of 20 free tastes per day. There is enough autumn pear paste today. Even if it is not enough, there is still tomorrow. We will come every day, so don't squeeze."
Many people here are old customers from yesterday, some got a free taste yesterday, or some bought one or two yesterday to try.
Everyone is here today.
I like them all and want to buy more.
Especially those who have coughs at home, who had been waiting at the original stall for a long time, but ended up buying fake ones. Now that the real ones are finally here, they are even more eager to buy them.
In the end, the division of labor was that the line in front of Dabao and Erbao was for free tasting, and the line in front of Jiang Lianzhu was for buying and selling needs.
Dabao and Erbao had done it yesterday, so today they were very nimble and didn’t need Jiang Lianzhu to teach them anymore, so they started right away.
The two brothers have a good understanding and cooperate well.
There was also a long line at Jiang Lianzhu's place. "Young lady, I don't need a free sample. Just give me a pound, how about that?"
This man was straightforward, and Jiang Lianzhu was also straightforward. "That's feasible. Today we have two kinds. One is the same as yesterday's, and it's still 200 coins per catty. The other one is a little thicker, but the price is 500 coins per catty."
The man asked, "Can you bring the 500-wen one to check its quality? Is there any difference?"
Jiang Lianzhu introduced it, "The 500-wen one is thicker, has better effects in all aspects, is easier to store, and lasts longer. It doesn't spoil easily. You can eat it directly or take some out and mix it with water."
As he spoke, he took out the finished product to show everyone.
It is more translucent, thicker, and cannot flow. It needs to be scooped out with a spoon. When you scoop it out, a strand of silk comes out, reflecting crystal light under the sunlight. It is obviously a top-grade product at first glance.
It also smells sweeter and has a richer fragrance.
It's eye-catching.
The man said without hesitation, "Then give me a pound of yesterday's and a pound of this thick one, let's try them both."
"Okay!" Jiang Lianzhu had prepared a small jar containing one pound of food in advance.
He handed him two cans directly.
Received seven hundred coins.
This was the first business, it opened very successfully, and the rest went smoothly as well.
Some buy one or two catties, some buy half a catty, and some buy one or two taels.
No matter how much or how little you buy, Jiang Lianzhu always has the same attitude. Harmony brings wealth, and the attitude remains the same.
Half of the people who got free tasting became customers and no one left empty-handed. Dabao and Erbao were very happy collecting and counting the money.
Sanbao is a little greedy cat. She sits on the mat and smells the fragrance of autumn pear paste. She also wants to eat it.
Jiang Lianzhu gave her a bowl, and she started eating it right there, happily, just like a snack show host. The chubby little dumpling sat there eating the autumn pear paste, and it tasted so sweet that those who were just watching and reluctant to spend money couldn't help but take out their money to buy it.
Now, the labor value of the three cubs has been fully utilized.
Not one was brought in vain.
Jiang Lianzhu sighed, it’s great to have a cub!
***
Yingke Restaurant.
A young man came back in a hurry, carrying half a pound of autumn pear paste he had just bought.
When we got to the inner room, we said, "Boss, this autumn pear paste is so popular, I waited in line for half a day to buy it. Please try it, it tastes really good."
The owner of Yingke Restaurant is named Qian Sihai, also known as Master Qian. He is an old wealthy man in Shili Town. This Yingke Restaurant has been open for several generations and has always been the best-performing restaurant in Shili Town.
Mr. Qian picked up the spoon and tasted it.
He said pretentiously, "It's not bad. Compared to delicacies from land and sea, this autumn pear paste is just so-so. Why is it praised so highly?"
The young man smiled and said yes.
The chef beside him also tasted it, and then he said pertinently, "Boss, it's certainly not comparable to delicacies from land and sea. However, Boss, this is a medicinal dish made with pears. It has the effect of relieving heat and cough, curing diseases and maintaining health. The taste is really good. Compared with ordinary desserts, the texture is smoother and it is truly a top-grade product."
Mr. Qian said it was just okay, but he couldn't help but scooped several more spoonfuls into his mouth.
"Can you make it? Can you taste what it tastes like?"
The chef shook his head and said, "My apologies, Master. I think several Chinese herbs have been added to this. It's a true medicinal meal. Since ancient times, the recipes for medicinal meals have never been passed down. You can't tell the difference just by eating. I'm just an ordinary cook. I don't understand pharmacology, so I can't make it."
