You can let them do more work on weekdays.
When it grows for another two years, it can be properly cultivated.
With this calculation in her mind, Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes with a smile, and followed Zhao Dahu's suggestion, making all the hawthorns into four clusters.
Boil the hawthorns in sugar, wrap them in sugar, let them cool, and put them into stacks.
Because she didn’t know the market conditions outside, and was worried that the two brothers would be tired from holding the stacks all the time, Xia Mingyue didn’t do much at first, only made about ten stacks, and asked the two of them to go out on the street first. Give it a try.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were used to Xia Mingyue's routine of trial sales in business. Now they knew that they needed to give it a try first, so they didn't want to be greedy. They just held the stack of candied haws and walked to the street.
Overjoyed.
"Candied Haws, six cents a bunch!"
The shouting outside has already started.
"Yes, we haven't even left the alley yet, and we've already started selling." Mrs. Lu held her forehead and smiled helplessly.
"This is called not sparing any place." Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Maybe there will be people in our alley who want to eat candied haws. If you sell them earlier, the business will follow."
" Sister-in-law, I don’t mean to exaggerate. These two children, Dahu and Erhu, are better at business than ordinary adults. From now on, you can just sit at home and count money and enjoy yourself.”
“ Thanks to my brother and sister." After Xia Mingyue said this, Lu felt a lot lighter and was no longer worried about the two brothers doing business for the first time.
With the incident of making candied haws, although Xia Mingyue and Lu were still worried about Zou Fuquan and Xia Ji, they were less anxious and could only concentrate on doing some things in the central kitchen.
Here, brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu have arrived on the street and started selling candied haws.
"Candied haws a stick, six cents a skewer!"
"Six cents a skewer, sweet and sour candied haws!"
When someone hears six cents a skewer, they come naturally. Interested, I happily bought a bunch and quickly gave them to my noisy children to calm them down.
Some people heard a bunch of six cents, and when they found that there were only four hawthorns in the bunch, they immediately curled their lips and asked, "Why are you so dishonest in your business?"
< br>"How do you say this?" Zhao Erhu raised his chin.
"Others have a bunch of eight hawthorns, but yours has only four. Isn't this dishonesty?" the man frowned.
“But my house only sells things for six cents, and other people sell them for twelve cents. You can’t use six cents to buy twelve cents.”
Zhao Erhu said , "What's more, my family didn't say that this bunch is eight hawthorns, nor did they ask you to spend twelve cents to buy four hawthorns per bunch of candied haws. They were all co-authored." Three cents for two hawthorns, why are you being dishonest to me?”
“Or do you think we are just kids selling hawthorns here, so you want to cause trouble for us?”
Zhao Erhu spoke sharply, and his words were like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, crackling without giving the other party a chance to reply.
The man was stunned for a while, and found that he had no words to refute. He just shook his head and said, "I really don't know whose child the child is..."
He was actually taught to be such a philistine.
"It's not your child anyway, so you don't have to worry." Zhao Dahu also retorted. "You..." The man was speechless when the two children spoke to him. He just felt that he couldn't keep it on his face and wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu.
“Hey, do you want to buy it or not? If you don’t buy it, don’t talk about it here!”
Someone next to me was just thinking about buying two bunches of candied haws to comfort the child. However, when the child heard that there were eight hawthorns in the candied haws next to him, and there were four hawthorns here, he started to cry again, and the adults suddenly became a little irritable.
You dislike it, but we still want to buy it, so don’t cause trouble here!
“That’s right!” People with the same idea also echoed.
Seeing so many people, the man didn’t think there was anything wrong with the candied haws. On the contrary, he agreed very much. All the words in his mouth were held in his throat. He was so angry that his chest hurt. He snorted coldly and took a big step. leave.
“Hmph!”
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu snorted in unison and continued selling candied haws.
The small bunch of candied haws on a stick was more popular than expected. The dozen or so candied haws on the pile were all sold out quickly. The two brothers hurried home to ask Xia Mingyue and Lu to come back again. Make some.
At this time, the sun was rising, and the Xia Ji food stall on West Street was already full.
Mr. Cao and Mrs. Chen were busy at the food stall with their daughters, and they couldn't talk to each other.
Three tall and sturdy men walked over in a swaggering manner. The leader was a man with a beard and a face full of flesh, and he looked very fierce.
Seeing such people coming to eat at the food stall, all the people eating here were a little frightened. They couldn't help but move aside and took the initiative to make space.
But the three people felt that there was not enough room, and the bearded people even winked at the people following them on both sides. The people on both sides stepped forward quickly, grabbing the collar of the people who were having a good meal here, like carrying a bag. He threw it out like a chicken.
On the other hand, he was even cursing, "Go, go, go, you didn't see Mr. Ma coming, why don't you get out of the way!"
As he spoke, he pushed the person who was being driven away in front of him. The wonton bowl flew away before I could take it away!
It was a bowl of wontons that had just been served, and it was still steaming. It flew straight to the person who was eating next to him. Even through the thick cotton clothes, the person was still hot and grinned and shouted. got up.
"What are you yelling at? Can you handle it if you disturb Mr. Ma during his meal?" The strong men on both sides cursed again and raised their fists to scare him.
Seeing this situation, some people eating here were afraid that they would be affected. They didn’t even dare to eat any more. They just put the bowl back on the table and hurriedly ate it, whether they finished it or not. Leave.
I don’t care about paying the money.
When Mrs. Cao saw this, she was very anxious, but she still said patiently, "If you are here to eat, please be quiet and don't disturb others' eating."
" I spent money to eat, not to listen to your lectures here. Luosuo, I'm destroying your stall!" The bearded man flipped up his clothes and sat down. He stepped on the bench next to him with one foot and looked sideways at Mr. Cao and Mr. Chen, "Two baskets of steamed dumplings. Three bowls of wontons, and two bowls of chicken noodles, no coriander.”
Chen frowned, not wanting to do business with three people.
"What, no business?" The bearded man saw it, raised his hand and shouted to everyone present, "Let's all leave, Xia Ji is no longer doing business today!"
As he spoke, he lifted up a long table next to him.
The various bowls, chopsticks, spoons and even the steamer for steaming dumplings on the table were all knocked over to the floor.
The ground was suddenly in a mess, and the diners who were originally eating all stayed away. (End of chapter)
