I saw people coming and going at other stalls, and then I looked at the stall in front of my own. It was deserted.
Mu Chenglin sat calmly, while Shen Yunxi couldn't sit still.
She looked around and saw that everyone was shouting!
"Good eggs. My hens lay two eggs a day. They are the fighting chickens among hens. If you eat their eggs, you will immediately become smarter!"
"My hens lay three eggs a day, come and buy mine!"
"The next four or five of my family, come and see me!"
"It's a big sale! If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait ten years!"
"It's a hanging sale, buy one and get one free, buy two and get three free, buy three and get four free!"
"Two copper plates for one, ten copper plates for four. The more you buy, the cheaper it is. Come and have a look!"
Shen Yunxi dug her ears, and she remembered the anchors in the "Pumpkin" video, who had different styles and characteristics.
She decided to do something different!
Shen Yunxi cleared her throat. She, a science student, racked her brains and came up with a poem.
"The red beads are wrapped in sugar, the blue ones are not independent, and the bamboos on both sides are piercing the heart, so they are together and never separated." After reading a poem, Shen Yunxi looked around proudly.
No one paid attention to her, only Mu Chenglin looked at her with unclear eyes.
Could it be that the description in the poem is rather obscure and people in the market can't understand it?
Then let’s do something simpler.
"Look, these carefully selected round and red hawthorns are wrapped in a layer of shiny sugar coating."
Shen Yunxi said, holding the candied haws on display in his hand.
"The strings look like lanterns. Just looking at them makes people salivate and make them want to take a bite!"
She took a deep sniff and looked quite intoxicated!
Now many people stopped to look at her!
Shen Yunxi was so happy that she immediately took a small skewer to try, "If you buy it now, you can also enjoy the discount of buying one skewer and getting one free~"
But everyone just stopped and looked at her, no one came forward to ask, and the scene was a bit awkward and quiet for a while.
A little child's voice broke the tranquility, "Grandma, what is this sister doing?"
"Who knows what's going on with her? Come on, come on!" The little boy's grandmother immediately pulled the little boy away, as if Shen Yunxi was some kind of monster.
Isn't this right? Is it because her words are not vivid enough and not deeply rooted in people's hearts?
"How did you come to the market to sell goods before?" Shen Yunxi approached Mu Chenglin and asked him secretly.
"I have never sold goods in the market. The wild animals I hunt are always sent to fixed hotels!"
"Then you want to try shouting?"
"No!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mu Chenglin's face.
Haha! You have come here to sell goods, and you still want to carry them!
Forget it, it’s up to her, the little fairy, to save these candied haws!
She cleared her throat, "Tanghulu, red candied haws, sour, sweet, crispy and fragrant. I guarantee you will have endless aftertaste after eating it and forget your worries."
She picked up a piece of candied haws that she was trying to taste and took a bite. Her expression was particularly satisfying, "Hmm~ It's sour and sweet, sweet and sour, ah! I'm about to melt from it!"
Shen Yunxi's exaggerated performance made more people stop. At this time, she seized the opportunity and immediately picked up a few candied haws for trial and gave them to the children in the crowd.
"Brothers and sisters, try it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."
Several children were already greedy because of her satisfied look on her face. They picked it up and started eating.
"Wow! This is so delicious! Mom, please buy me a bunch!"
"Grandma, I want it too!"
"I want it too, I want it too!"
The children who tried it all clamored for their parents to buy it.
Shen Yunxi immediately said, "One skewer of candied haws is three cents, two skewers is five cents!"
"Three pennies? You have hawthorn here, right? There are a lot of these things in the mountain, and you actually sell them for three pennies!" a parent of a child questioned.
When she said this, many parents who were ready to pay also hesitated!
Shen Yunxi calmly took out a bunch of candied haws, "Look, everyone, it's covered in a thick layer of sugar coating. I don't want to tell you how much a pound of sugar is. My uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. should be better than me." Know better!”
"Besides, we have done some processing. These hawthorns have been washed cleanly and the seeds have been picked, which makes them even more enjoyable to eat!"
Several parents looked at it and nodded.
"Give some to my naughty kid!"
"I have two kids, please give me two skewers!"
"I want three skewers at home. It's cheaper. Is it okay for seven cents?"
Shen Yunxi was busy picking candied haws, and Mu Chenglin was busy collecting money.
"No, aunt, we are a small business. We will lose money on the seven cents. How about this? How about I give you two more samples?"
After this wave of crowds, the business at the stall gradually stabilized. From time to time, people were attracted by Shen Yunxi's shouts, and some people came here because of the reputation.
"Brother Mu, why don't you shout?" Shen Yunxi asked, smoke rising from her throat!
This guy is so good, he's stuck here like a stake, and he's taken all the money!
Mu Chenglin's dark face looked a little unnatural, "Hurry up and go back to eat after selling!"
The seventy bunches of candied haws on a stick sold out very quickly, and many people rushed over with their children but found nothing. Shen Yunxi gave the remaining candied haws of food to the children and said that they would come back tomorrow.
The money bag around Mu Chenglin's waist was bulging. After counting, he sold a total of one hundred and ninety cents. Excluding the cost of sugar, he made seventy cents.
It’s not much, but it’s so popular for the first time, so business should be even better tomorrow.
After selling the candied haws, Mu Chenglin sent the wild things to the restaurant and asked Shen Yunxi to wait for him here.
Shen Yunxi sat on the basket in boredom, watching the crowds of people coming and going at the entrance of the market.
The commodities exchanged here are very simple, nothing more than vegetables grown at home, chickens, ducks and geese raised, and various eggs. Some even sell the eggs that children dig out from the trees.
There are several stalls that can be considered craftsmen, making their own baskets, baskets, brooms, etc.
The meat sellers are at the end of the market. In the summer, only one pig is slaughtered every day, and the stall is closed when it is sold. By this time, the butcher stall has already closed.
There are also shops on both sides of the market, and the things sold in the shops are relatively fixed, such as various seasonings, breweries, blacksmith shops, porcelain shops, etc.
I didn't see anyone selling fish.
The entire area where Hong County is located has a lot of water and a lot of fish and shrimp. However, due to the relatively backward cooking technology here, the fish produced does not taste good. If you want to eat it, you will catch it yourself, and few people will buy it.
I didn’t see anyone buying cooked food either.
I don’t know if it’s because the hot weather makes it difficult to preserve cooked food, or if people here don’t have the concept of braised food.
No memory of this aspect was found in the original owner's missing memory.
Shen Yunxi felt that this was a good breakthrough for her.
"Yunxi?" Just when Shen Yunxi was immersed in planning for the future, an uncoordinated voice sounded in her ears.
Shen Yunxi raised her head and saw a thin and small man with barely handsome features, but unfortunately there were a few pimples on his face.
The original owner had met this man several times, and he was the legendary Cui Xiucai.
Shen Yunxi only felt that she didn't read the almanac when she went out.
"Yunxi, what are you doing here?" Cui Zixuan thought he was very cool and smoothed his sleeves and said to Shen Yunxi.
"They sell candied haws!" Shen Yunxi shook the straw stick in his hand, "Oh, they're all sold out. If you come early tomorrow, I can give you a bunch of them to try!"
"Yun Xi, you are a girl, why are you showing your face outside? Why don't you just stay in the Shen family?" Cui Zixuan put away his expression and said with a serious look on his face.
In the memory of the original owner, the few times he met Cui Zixuan left a bad memory. Cui Zixuan relied on his status as a scholar to criticize the original owner, while his stepmother and Shen Pingping added to the jealousy.
"Don't you know? I thought you knew it a long time ago!" Shen Yunxi was still sitting on the backpack, no longer looking at Cui Zixuan, her neck was sore as she kept looking up.
