Looking at Ning Laosan, who looked a bit scruffy because he got up early and didn't shave, but he acted sincerely, Ning Pengpeng wanted to sing to him, "Listen to me, thank you~!"
Bah, I thought too far!
"You've already said so. Mothers don't want to help you, and they don't seem to be merciful. Okay, you go along, remember, watch more and talk less."
"Hey, mother, I will listen to you."
When Ning Laosan heard that his mother had agreed, he nodded repeatedly and stuffed the firewood into the stove hole with a smile, full of enthusiasm.
Now that Ning Laosan is a free labor force, Ning Pengpeng saves herself the trouble of walking more than ten miles with a backpack on her back.
Arrange the things in order, then pick up the boiled eggs in the pot, peel one off first and eat it with the hot water in the bowl, and wrap the others in the handkerchief.
Mrs. Wang watched Ning Laosan carrying the basket on his back, and quickly stepped forward and secretly stuffed a piece of multi-grain steamed bun saved yesterday into his hand.
Mr. Qian stared at the backs of her mother-in-law and third uncle, speechless.
Thinking about what I said to my man yesterday, I couldn't help biting my lower lip. What should I do if I really make money?
"Mom, this fragrance is destined to be sold."
Ning Laosan was carrying a backpack on his back and could clearly smell the sweet fragrance of the red bean and rice cakes that had been steamed in the morning. Smelling the smell, he took out the multi-grain steamed bun that Wang gave him and took a big bite.
Then he said to Ning Pengpeng confidently.
Ning Pengpeng was holding a lantern in her hand, but within a quarter of an hour of walking, she felt like the soles of her feet were starting to smoke.
Where is the thought to listen to Ning Laosan's praise?
She only thought fiercely in her heart that when she made money, she would definitely buy a carriage so that her feet would never have to suffer like this again.
The journey that lasted about an hour was driven by Ning Pengpeng's constant thoughts about buying a carriage, a house, and a manor.
When arriving in Anzhen, Ning Pengpeng almost shed tears.
"Mom, where are we going? Is it Nanshi? How about going to the boss first and asking?"
This small distance has no impact on Ning Laosan at all, and he even looks a little excited.
"Let's go to Nanshi. If you go early, you can still get a good seat."
Ning Pengpeng thought about it for a moment and gave instructions directly to Ning Laosan.
"Hey, okay, mother."
By the time the two of them reached Nanshi, the place was already bustling with people.
Ning Pengpeng aimed at a corner that was just big enough to put the backpack, and quickly squeezed through.
Take the basket off Ning Laosan's back, take out the basket with the cakes inside, and then turn the basket over and put the basket with the cakes on top of it.
Ning Pengpeng opened a corner of the basket and started selling loudly.
"Come and take a look, take a look! The delicious Fu Lu Shou cake, the secret Fu Lu Shou cake. After eating it, the girl looks good and the young man is in good health! One piece is four cents, and ten cents is three yuan.
!”
Originally, when things were sold here in Nanshi, most buyers would ask about the price, and then the sellers would reply with the price, and there would be a back-and-forth interaction.
At other times, most of the sellers stood or squatted in place, eagerly waiting for customers to come.
Unexpectedly, Ning Pengpeng actually shouted at the top of her voice, and she shouted in a consistent manner, which immediately attracted a group of people who gathered around and stretched their heads to look into Ning Pengpeng's basket.
Have they really never seen Fu Lu Shou Cake?
"Why are your pastries so expensive? Three eggs only cost two cents!"
An aunt who looked to be over fifty looked at the cakes in the basket and couldn't help but muttered.
"Girl, you can't say that. My pastry is made with a lot of things added and a secret recipe. As for the eggs, as long as you know how to raise chickens, it's fine, don't you think?
Moreover, eggs are not as sweet and delicious as this pastry. Sister, I won’t fool you. You can try it and see if it tastes good. You have the final say.
If it’s not delicious, don’t give me half a copper. If it’s delicious, buy some and take it home to try. Just hearing the name makes you feel good, don’t you think?”
After Ning Pengpeng finished speaking, he took a piece of pea yellow from the basket, carefully divided it into many portions with bamboo slices, and then distributed them to the people standing in front to taste.
Aunt Cai was called "girl" by Ning Pengpeng, and her face suddenly smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.
In addition, the pastry handed over by Ning Pengpeng, although it was only a small piece, looked bright and tender yellow, with a hint of sweet taste, making it very appetizing in terms of color, smell and taste.
She didn't know if her appetite was getting worse as she got older, and the food at home was always not to her liking.
Unexpectedly, smelling the smell of this pastry actually gave me an appetite.
"Try the ones in front of you. Is this Shilaozi Fu Lu Shou really as delicious as she said?"
When the people behind saw the people in front who had already received the cakes, they immediately cheered and shouted.
Then someone holding the cake took a careful taste, then his eyes lit up and he said loudly.
“Delicious and sweet pastries!”
After saying that, he swallowed it in one gulp.
However, before I even smashed the bar twice, the small bite of pastry in my mouth was swallowed into my stomach.
"Give me two more pastries, eight cents, right?"
The man quickly took out eight coins from his purse and handed it to Ning Laosan who was standing by. Ning Pengpeng smiled, then opened the basket cover, pointed at the three-color cakes in the basket and said.
"These three types of pastries only cost four cents a piece, and three cents each for ten cents. Brother, you have already paid eight cents. If you add two cents, you can get another piece, which is a full two cents cheaper.
Where’s the money?”
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it? Then give me three pieces. As for the pastries, give me one piece as well."
The man thought for a moment, and it seemed like this was the case. He didn't expect this woman to be so honest in business, so he immediately took out two more pennies from his purse.
Ning Pengpeng also quickly took a piece of each pastry, wrapped it in the oil paper cut last night, and handed it over.
"Thank you boss, welcome to come again next time."
Others ate, like this man, they originally planned to only have two yuan, but they also changed their minds and asked for three yuan.
Aunt Cai was even more generous and asked for six yuan directly, planning to save it for lunch and dinner when she was hungry.
Ning Laosan looked at the guests as if they didn't want any money. He took out tens of thousands of coins and kept collecting money until his eyes went straight!
"Hey, those in front of you, buy less!"
"That's right, we haven't even tasted it yet!"
The people behind saw that the number of cakes in the basket was visibly reduced, and they suddenly became anxious and shouted hurriedly.
Hearing the man's shout and seeing how crowded the place was, others immediately became curious and lined up.
Even Ning Pengpeng didn't expect that more than a hundred pastries would be sold out in the blink of an eye.
