Chapter Fifty-Six: Noble
"Sister, you can't say that. Steamed buns cost a penny each. That's not wrong. But look at what this pumpkin flower cake is made of. It's not just white flour, but also oil. How much does oil cost per pound now? You
You should know better than me? In this way, we are not the losers? The price of three cents is already the lowest. I think it will not be easy for us, mother and son, to do a small business here with a child. Who wouldn’t want to
Sell out early and go back early? And you also ate several pieces, and I didn’t say not to let you eat..."
Before Li Yun finished speaking, the small stall was already crowded with people.
"The orphans and widowers are quite pitiful. Why are there people so evil-hearted that they eat the King's meal without paying for it?"
"Sister-in-law, how much does one of your pumpkin cakes cost? I want to buy five." The person who bought the cakes was a young girl. She looked at Li Yun and Doudou and their mother and son very pitifully. No matter whether the cakes were good or not, she wanted to help.
?
"Miss, please try it first. Do you think it tastes delicious before buying it? I am a business person who hopes that everyone will be satisfied. If you buy cakes because you pity our mother and son, I think this is an insult to us. Although we are poor,
, but we are doing business in a clean and honest manner, I hope you can understand?" Li Yun's words shocked many people.
"Why do you have such a bad temper? Is self-esteem or having enough food more important? Our lady is helping out with good intentions. I wonder if your crude food is clean, will it ruin our lady's stomach?"
The maid next to the young lady kept chattering.
Li Yun knew at a glance that the young lady meant well, but she had such a bad temper. "Qing'er, shut up! Why don't you apologize to me?" The young lady was an amiable person, so she picked up the bamboo stick and inserted it.
He put one in his mouth and ate it.
"Miss, you..." Qing'er was frightened. Why did the lady just eat it? If the master found out, she would be beaten to death.
"Your pumpkin flower cake tastes really good, and the texture is good. I did look at you orphans and widowed mothers at first, but I didn't expect you to be such a backbone person. This pumpkin flower cake is also quite good."
It's pretty good, so I plan to buy a few more. Let's get ten!" This lady is obviously a wealthy person, and she really likes this pumpkin pie.
"Qing'er, pay!"
Qing'er was reluctant, but her young lady liked to eat it, so she had no choice. "You'd better make sure your cake is clean, otherwise if my lady does anything wrong, I will never let you go!"
Li Yun smiled and said: "Miss Qing'er, what a peasant woman does is eat. Naturally, what she pays attention to is cleanliness and good taste. Otherwise, how would you dare to hawk on the street?"
Qing'er snorted coldly and stopped talking, and quickly followed his young lady.
With the good sign from that lady, there were more people buying cakes, and soon all the cakes were sold out.
"Mom, can we go home?" Doudou thought her mother was so awesome that she sold out all the cakes.
But it was still early, and there were more than sixty cakes in total. They sold for about 180 Wen, and the cost was only about 30 Wen. She suddenly remembered that she had promised to deliver shrimps to Shopkeeper Wu a few days ago, but she had always forgotten to do so.
It seems that I have to get up early tomorrow to pick up fish and shrimps on the beach, otherwise wouldn’t I be breaking my promise?
