Chapter Twenty: Under Cui Sheng

"Little girl, do you still have these fried mushrooms?" Cui Sheng asked, rubbing his hands.

Shen Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Cui Sheng, and the corners of her eyes twitched fiercely.

This Cui Sheng obviously had a handsome face, but he was hunched over, rubbing his hands and showing his teeth, looking wretched.

It was almost impossible to look straight. Shen Yue lowered her head to sort out her mushroom skewers and replied politely, "Today's have been sent out."

Cui Sheng scratched his head and continued to ask shamelessly, "Will the girl still come to sell tomorrow?"

"It's hard to say. All the mushrooms we sell at home are just these few bunches. If we pick mushrooms today, we can make stir-fried mushrooms tomorrow." Although Cui Sheng's appearance was a bit eye-catching, Shen Yue still replied with a normal expression.

When Cui Sheng heard the uncertain news, his whole breath sank, and his stooped back bent even more.

"Girl, can we still do it today? Can I send someone to your house to get it?" Cui Sheng still refused to give up and asked cautiously.

"This little brother, my family only sells mushrooms, and the stall we rent also sells dry goods. The stir-fried mushrooms are just for everyone to try." Shen Yue didn't want to talk too much about the stir-fried mushrooms.

The city guards patrolled from time to time, and if you were caught selling cooked food from a dry goods stall without permission, you would have to pay a fine.

There was also the last mushroom on the stall for the guests to taste. Shen Yue wrapped it in perilla leaves and handed it to Cui Sheng.

"There is also a mushroom here, which I will give to my brother for tasting. I can't do it today. I can come and have a look tomorrow at the right time. If there are some stir-fried mushrooms, my mother will sell them in the cooked food section."

Cui Sheng took the mushrooms, stuffed them into his mouth together, chewed them carefully, and arched his eyebrows with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Girl, how much are you going to price these stir-fried mushrooms?" Cui Sheng swallowed the mushrooms in his mouth and looked at Shen Yue with bright black eyes, waiting for her to tell the price.

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment. She hadn't decided on the price of the stir-fried mushrooms yet. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "Fifteen cents per portion, and one portion is five mushrooms."

Mushrooms come in a bunch of twenty-five and sell for fifty cents each, and a portion of stir-fried mushrooms costs five cents each, so Shen Yue priced the mushrooms at fifteen cents each.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, the young man didn't have much reaction when he heard the price. He knew that the price he set was quite reasonable.

Cui Sheng made a mental calculation. A portion of the mushrooms cost fifteen cents. If they were carefully decorated and placed on the plate, and labeled with their Suyuanzhai name, it would be no problem to sell them for fifty cents each.

Cui Sheng placed a deposit on the spot and asked Shen Yue for ten percent. "Little girl, you still have a few bunches of mushrooms here. Sell them to me. You can go home early and pick some more."

Shen Yue counted the items in the basket and found that the ones in the basket were sold out, and there were still five skewers left on the stall. "These are the only five skewers left. If I want them all, I can give you three free portions of the stir-fried mushrooms when they are ready."

When Cui Sheng heard that the little girl was a business person, he waved his hand and grabbed the remaining five bunches of mushrooms, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have them tomorrow. I'll send ten copies to Suyuanzhai whenever you have them. This is The girl keeps the deposit."

Cui Sheng handed the money to Shen Yue. He calculated that two hundred and fifty coins was the price of five bunches of mushrooms, and the remaining one hundred and fifty coins was the full deposit for ten portions of stir-fried mushrooms.

Shen Yue took some money and it turned out to be four hundred coins. She counted out forty-five coins and handed it to Cui Sheng, "Brother, this is too much money. I gave three cents of stir-fried mushrooms to my brother for free. No need to pay more." I gave you money."

Cui Sheng laughed loudly, his rickety waist straightened a bit, he accepted the extra money and said, "Look at my brain, thank you so much, little girl. Just go to Suyuanzhai and find me directly. I'm Cui Sheng."

Cui Sheng? This name is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.

Shen Yue arranged the mushroom skewers and handed them to Cui Sheng, promising to deliver the stir-fried mushrooms to Suyuanzhai the day after tomorrow at the latest.

After seeing Cui Sheng off, Shen Yue and Luo Mu packed up the stall, went to the end of the street, and returned today's stall ticket to the uncle at the stall management office.

The uncle took a look at the ticket and quickly returned two cents to Shen Yue, five cents for a one-day stall and three cents for a half-day stall.

It took Shen Yue and Luo Mu less than half a day to sell out the items. The remaining half day would not be rented, and the management office would refund the half-day stall fee. This was what Aunt Chen kindly told her.

Shen Yue had to admire the management of Qingshui Town. It was really very user-friendly. Although they charged part of the stall fee, there was no need to worry about anyone making trouble in the market.

If there is an emergency and the rental is less than half an hour, the management office will refund the full amount to the vendors.

After handling the refund, Shen Yue handed over all the money she had to Luo's mother for safekeeping, but Luo's mother refused.

"You earned this all by yourself. Use it to buy what you want. Mom has money to spend." Luo's mother tightened her purse, fearing that Shen Yue would stuff it in for her.

"Mom, this is my first time making money. To make money, I must honor my mother. If mother doesn't accept it, I won't have the motivation to make money." Shen Yue said coquettishly to Luo Mu.

Mother Luo couldn't stand Shen Yue's coquettishness, so she tried to shirk it several times, but finally accepted what Cui Sheng gave her, thinking of buying some snacks for Yue'er.

Shen Yue and Luo Mu came out from the end of the street. Shen Yue wanted to visit the medicine hall in the town, and Luo Mu wanted to sell prepared luozi. It happened that both places were in the west of the town.

The two hit it off immediately, bypassing the market and walking toward the west of the town.
