"This is not syrup, this is jam, passion fruit jam."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Song Chen opened his mouth to explain.
Everyone then turned their attention to Song Chen. Song Chen, dressed in gray clothes and short coat, was particularly out of place and conspicuous among the colorful ladies and ladies.
"Jam? What is jam? Passion fruit? Is it made from a hundred kinds of fruits?" An older lady asked first.
At present, the attraction of passion fruit jam to them has made them ignore Song Chen's background.
"Jam is indeed made from fruits, but this passion fruit jam is not made from a hundred kinds of fruits. It is also a kind of fruit, a kind of fruit that combines the fragrance of hundreds of kinds of fruits, so it is called passion fruit."
"A combination of hundreds of fruity flavors? Is there such a magical fruit in the world?"
"Not to mention, it smelled like fruit before, but I couldn't tell which fruit it resembled. Now that I smell it carefully, I can actually smell several fruits."
"If this is the case, the name passion fruit is quite appropriate, but are there really a hundred kinds of fruits in the world?"
These words made Song Chen laugh in his heart.
As far as she knows so far, there are indeed not many types of fruits in this era, especially the ones that can be eaten. Many fruits that are deeply loved by the people in modern times are still sour and difficult to eat in this era.
"This passion fruit was brought from the far south. It is not something from Da Rong, so it is not known to the people of Da Rong. It is not only rich in fragrance, but also has many benefits for our bodies."
"Can the shopkeeper please help me prepare a bowl of warm water, a few small spoons and a small bowl?" Song Chen felt that no matter how much he said, it would be better for them to try it themselves.
The shopkeeper of the pastry shop was thinking very fast, and he was also very curious about the passion fruit jam. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare and deliver what Song Chen wanted.
I saw Song Chen scooping out a spoonful from the porcelain jar, and then poured it into the bowl. Soon the transparent warm water turned into a golden liquid, and all the things that were mistaken for black sesame seeds were floating in the bowl.
to the upper level.
Everyone couldn't help but take a few more breaths of the sweet air.
Song Chen stirred the bowl with a spoon, then poured the fruit drinks in the bowl into small bowls, "You can take a sip to see how it tastes."
Everyone had been waiting for Song Chen's words for a long time. Each person took a bowl and couldn't wait to take a bite.
Rich and sweet, sour and sweet, with a long aftertaste.
Wonderful adjectives popped into several people's minds.
"I didn't expect that there was such a delicious thing in the world. It's really magical." One of the women praised it after tasting it.
"Not only does this passion fruit taste and smell extremely beautiful, it also contains many things that are good for our body. It can refresh our mind, strengthen our intestines, strengthen our stomach, cleanse our intestines and detoxify. More importantly, long-term consumption is also good for us.
It can be better for our skin.”
"One fruit can have so many effects, little girl, it would be a bit exaggerated for you to say so."
Some people don’t believe it, but it’s just a fruit with a better taste, so it’s almost like a tonic.
"Madam, if you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. It won't work immediately, but the effect is real. The medicine is three parts toxic. If there is a way to treat it without medicine, why don't we try it?"
Song Chen didn't feel unhappy because of her doubts.
"Shopkeeper, I don't have much jam on hand right now. In addition to being soaked in water, it can also be eaten with snacks. I'll give you this jar. You can try it yourself. If the shopkeeper is interested, you can
Go to Ginkgo Street and find Shopkeeper Zheng from Zheng Kee Grocery Store."
After saying that, Song Chen left the snack shop before anyone could react.
By the time all the ladies and ladies came to their senses, only the small jar on the counter of shopkeeper Zhong was left.
Shopkeeper Zhong couldn't help but hold the jar in his arms, "Ladies and ladies, I'm sorry."
"Shopkeeper Zhong, you don't like this. Anyone who sees it has a share, right?"
"Everyone has also heard that this thing is hard to come by. We only have so many Liuweizhai now. If you ladies want it, you have to wait until I negotiate this business."
It's really hard to handle with only one can.
The wealthy families in the town all knew each other, and it would not be good to break the friendship over this jar, so everyone bought the snacks they needed and went to the Zhengji grocery store that Song Chen had mentioned before.
After leaving Liuweizhai, Song Chen went to the grocery store.
Shopkeeper Zheng of the grocery store was looking forward to it. When he saw Song Chen coming, he quickly walked out from behind the counter.
"Miss Song, what business do we do?"
Song Chen put down his backpack and slowly took out a dozen white porcelain jars inside, "Shopkeeper Zheng, wait for the cashier."
"Ah? What does this mean?"
Song Chen smiled and said nothing.
After she took out everything, she continued, "Shopkeeper Zheng, these are the jams I made from the fruits you brought back from abroad. Do you remember?"
"Me? When did I bring these fruits back?" Shopkeeper Zheng became more and more confused as Song Chen talked about it.
"You brought it." Song Chen looked at him with burning eyes, "Do you still want to make money? If you want to make money, you must remember this."
"I……"
"This is it, Zheng Kee Grocery Store."
"I finally found it. Oh, little girl, you are really here."
Before Shopkeeper Zheng could say anything else, there were suddenly a lot of people in the grocery store. They were all wearing jewels and they looked like they were rich.
"How much passion fruit jam do you have? Give me two jars."
"I want two cans too."
"I want three cans."
"I want five cans."
They rushed to report the quantity they wanted.
Shopkeeper Zheng stared at these people blankly. After doing business for so many years, this was the first time he saw a customer asking for something without asking the price.
"Don't worry, everyone. I don't have a lot of jam right now, and I can't keep it for a long time. I suggest you buy it jar by jar."
Song Chen stretched out his hand to comfort them, "One tael of silver per jar. If you want it, please check with shopkeeper Zheng and come over to get the things."
One tael of silver per jar!
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at the jar, which was only bigger than a teacup, and his eyes almost fell out. Is this girl crazy about money?
Such a little thing is so expensive!
Who would buy it?
If he had known that she didn't understand the market so much, he should have helped set the price just now, otherwise wouldn't the money that was about to be obtained just fly away like this?
"Miss Song, one or two...isn't it a bit too much?" Shopkeeper Zheng thought for a moment and felt that Song Chen should be reminded.
Song Chen turned to look at him in confusion, "Are you saying that one tael of silver is too cheap?"
One tael of silver was too cheap, and shopkeeper Zheng had a blood clot in his heart.
But what happened next made him almost spit out his blood several times.
"It's not cheap, it's not cheap. One tael of silver is just right. Here, here are two taels of silver. I want two jars."
"Here, one tael, give me a can."
"Give me two jars, too. I'll take one jar back to my mother. You can take the two taels of silver."
Pieces of silver were thrown into the hands of shopkeeper Zheng. Shopkeeper Zheng was completely numb and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Song Chen's memory was very good. She remembered exactly how much everyone wanted, and quickly distributed all the required amounts to everyone.
Those who got the passion fruit jam were very satisfied and held it up to their noses and smelled it. Although the jar was sealed, you could still smell the faint fragrance if you were close.
Let’s not talk about whether it has those effects or not. The taste and fragrance alone are worth a pound or two. I drank a small cup of water made with passion fruit jam earlier, and now I still feel that the fragrance is left in my mouth when I talk.
.
"Ladies and ladies, this is the first time that these jams are sold today. I sold them to you at cost price. Please don't make it public, otherwise I will not be able to do business in the future."
Song Chen does not intend to retail jams, her main goal is Liuweizhai.
When she said this, everyone felt that they had taken advantage of her and naturally agreed happily.
I just regret that I couldn't buy more this time.
After the guests dispersed, shopkeeper Zheng couldn't recover for a long time.
Song Chen poked him on the shoulder, "Shopkeeper Zheng, everyone has left, it's time for you to come to your senses."
Sure enough, when shopkeeper Zheng took a look, the grocery store was empty again, only he and Song Chen were left.
If it weren't for the handful of silver in his hand, he would have thought he was dreaming.
"Miss Song, what on earth is this, and how can you sell it at such a high price?"
"There is a kind of jam. There is still a jar left here. You can keep it and try it. It can be soaked in water or used with snacks. If the taste is unique, it can be mixed with rice and steamed buns."
Song Chen gave the last remaining can to shopkeeper Zheng, and then the two began to count the money.
Today she only brought ten cans. She gave one to the shopkeeper of Liuweizhai, and now she gave one to shopkeeper Zheng. The remaining eight cans were all sold.
A total of eight taels of silver were obtained. Song Chen took out a piece and handed it to shopkeeper Zheng.
"As agreed in advance, I will give you a commission. I will give you 10% of a jar of jam. Here is one tael of silver. Give me two cents."
Shopkeeper Zheng didn't expect that it would be so easy to make money. He stared at the piece of silver in his hand in a daze for a long time. He made eight dollars in less than a quarter of an hour. In normal times, it would take him a month to earn this, and that's it.
It must have been when his business was doing better.
"What the hell, Miss Song, I'll see if you can give me two coins next time. Apart from the one tael of silver you gave me, that's all I have."
Shopkeeper Zheng took out a dozen coins he had on him and scattered them in front of Song Chen, feeling very embarrassed.
Song Chen gave him a very sympathetic look, "You, the owner of a shop, are so messed up that he is not even as good as a farmer. Let's look for him next time."
"Well, I'll remember it and I'll give it to you next time you come." Shopkeeper Zheng put away the one tael of silver and felt very happy.
