Wang Po was responsible for collecting money, Su Liuer was responsible for serving the herbal honey, and Zhu Hongan was responsible for rinsing the used bowls. It was Captain Zhang who got this huge bucket of water from the nearby restaurant.
The fat man finished a bowl of rice with sweat all over his face and asked for another bowl. After finishing it, he wanted to eat more.
"Sorry, each person can only buy two bowls of our grass jelly honey. We don't sell more than that." Although grass jelly honey is delicious, you can't eat too much of it. After all, it is a cold food and eating too much may cause diarrhea.
Su Liuer's words made the fat man unhappy, but the others were happy. That's how it should be! Otherwise, the fat man would have to eat it all!
"I want a bowl!"
"I want a bowl too!"
"I want two bowls!"
Mrs. Wang collected the money calmly and in order, giving one portion to each person to avoid confusion.
"It really cools you down! And it tastes good! What did you make this with, young lady?"
Su Liuer did not hide it and said with a smile, "It's the magic grass." Anyway, no one would know what the magic grass was even if she told it.
Besides, if you don't have a method, you can't make it even if you know the raw materials. Even if you figure out the method, it won't be as cool as her grass jelly honey. After all, she is using cheats.
No one around knew what the magical herb was. Asking more would make people think they were stealing the secrets, so no one asked anymore. It was already very difficult for two women to run a business!
Su Liuer didn't expect that Captain Zhang would be the first person to try this out today, otherwise the business would definitely not have gone so smoothly.
However, she made less today, just two porcelain basins, which were not very big. They were all sold out in less than half an hour, without even a scrap left.
"We're sold out today! Come back another day!"
Those who rushed over after hearing the news could only disperse in confusion. Some people asked when they would come tomorrow. Su Liuer only said that they would come in the afternoon. She couldn't really say the exact time. She planned to do more tomorrow.
When business is good, you have to strike while the iron is hot!
If the upstream village wasn't so far away and making grass jelly wasn't so time-consuming, she would have wanted to rush back to make it and then come back to sell it. It feels so good to watch the copper coins go into her pocket one by one!
Su Liuer and Wang Po were packing up when Captain Zhang came back with some clean, empty bowls.
"Are they all sold out?" Captain Zhang looked regretful. He even wanted to secretly buy another bowl for himself!
Su Liuer took the empty bowl and asked, "How is your meal, sister-in-law?"
"She loves it! If I hadn't told her what you said and stared at her, she wouldn't have been able to eat for so long. Will you come tomorrow?"
"Come! Come this afternoon."
"Then remember to leave a bowl for me tomorrow. I'll give you the money first." Captain Zhang gave the money and went to work. As a captain, he personally patrolled the town every day.
Su Liuer carried the large wooden barrel to the nearby restaurant to return it. The waiter gave her two copper coins and said, "Young lady, when you come tomorrow, bring a bowl to my boss first."
"Okay, I've got that. Can I borrow a bucket and water from you tomorrow?" This was something Su Liuer hadn't thought of before setting off today. Fortunately, Captain Zhang was there to help.
The waiter didn't reply directly but ran back to ask the restaurant owner before replying: "Our owner said it's okay, you can just come to me when you come tomorrow!"
"Thank your boss for me. I'll definitely serve him a bowl of this first thing tomorrow when he comes!"
Su Liuer couldn't hide the smile on her face. This was her first time doing business. She was in a good mood because of the good results. She felt that she was really great!
"Today we sold a total of thirty-seven bowls, and earned exactly fifty cents." Mrs. Wang handed the purse to Su Liuer.
Su Liu'er didn't take it, but winked pretentiously and said, "This money can be used to buy candy. I don't know where to buy it. You should take the money first."
Mrs. Wang didn't refuse anymore. She and Su Liuer packed up their things and went to the grocery store on the street to buy some candy.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Fang Chunhua and the Zhu sisters there. Su Liuer cursed inwardly that it was bad luck but had no intention of leaving. This shop was not run by the Zhu family!
