Space peasant girl: sweet and sassy

Chapter 67 Strawberries Are A Little Expensive!
Yun Yaoyao's newspaper has already become popular in the whole town.

Although she sells a limited number of newspapers every day
But as long as there is a newspaper on a street, the contents of the newspaper will be spread throughout the street as quickly as possible.

When advertising strawberries, Luo Xiaojiu specially asked Yun Yaoyao to draw pictures of strawberries on the newspaper and describe them in words.

Now the whole town knows about strawberries.

This is what Luo Xiaojiu wanted.

She smiled and answered the person who asked about the strawberry, "Yes, this is a strawberry. The pulp is juicy and the taste is very sweet."

Strawberries have a sweet, fruity flavor on their own.

Therefore, when Luo Xiaojiu said this, the man did not question it.

He continued to ask, "Then how do you sell your strawberries, and how much is it?"

Luo Xiaojiu's strawberries are priced at 10 Wen per catty.

A bit expensive!
After all, flour in this era is only 15 Wen per catty, but a few strawberries cost 1 Wen?
When many onlookers heard the price, they immediately lost the desire to buy it and scattered in all directions.

Yun Yaoyao never expected that Luo Xiaojiu's strawberry prices would be so high.

Then when she was on the bullock cart, didn't she eat dozens of pennies?

Heck, that's not the point.

The point is, the people around have left, so who will they sell their strawberries to?

Someone in the cloud is in a hurry.

Pulling on Luo Xiaojiu's sleeves, he frowned and asked, "Xiaojiu, isn't our price a bit expensive?"

But Luo Xiaojiu didn't seem to hear her, and said to her with a flat face, "Yaoyao, please help me look at the stall first, I'll go and buy some oil paper."

She wanted to buy oiled paper just now, but in order to greet those people, she put it off.

Now that everyone was gone, she took the time to go to the oil paper shop not far away to buy a large stack of oil paper.

But what is the use of her buying so much oil paper?
People passing by shook their heads and left as long as they heard that their strawberries cost 10 Wen and 1 catty.

Yun Yaoyao felt that if this went on, they might not be able to sell any of them, so she wanted to persuade Luo Xiaojiu to lower the price.

He also analyzed the reasons why she couldn't sell at a high price.

"Xiaojiu, I know our strawberries are delicious!"

"But, after all, we are just starting to sell strawberries. No one else knows what strawberries taste like, so how can we be willing to spend 10 yuan to buy them!"

"Otherwise, let's lower the price today, and when everyone has tasted the strawberries, they will naturally know that they are delicious."

"At that time, it's not too late for us to raise the price again?"

Yun Yaoyao's analysis is quite right.

Luo Xiaojiu once thought of doing this too, but there are advantages and disadvantages to doing so.

The good thing is that they will sell all the strawberries today.

The downside is that their strawberries will be marked as cheap, and if they want to sell them at a higher price in the future, I'm afraid customers won't buy them!
Therefore, Luo Xiaojiu decided that it would be expensive to appear on the stage.

Whether it is ancient or modern, cheap items will only be popular for a while, on the contrary, expensive items will last for a long time.

What she wants is: long time.

She responded to Yun Yaoyao with a light smile, "Wait."

After that, he got up and walked to a young woman who happened to be passing by and asked:
"Sister, do you know strawberries?"

When the young woman saw her coming from the strawberry stand, she immediately understood what she meant, most likely she wanted to sell.

She heard just now that there is a strawberry seller here who charges 10 cents per catty, which is too expensive!
She just wanted to say she didn't know.

But without waiting for her to speak, the little girl who was pulling beside her suddenly said excitedly, "Sister, I know, I know."

"The strawberries that were very popular in the newspapers the other day."

"I heard it's big, red, and sweet, is it true?"

The little girl looked about four years old, and when she heard strawberries, her big purple grape-like eyes almost shone.

Luo Xiaojiu smiled and patted her little head, and praised first, "Baby is awesome."

He continued, "Strawberries are really sweet, and my sister can also try strawberries for free, baby, do you want to come and try it?"

The little girl got even more excited when she heard that there were strawberries to eat, and she nodded immediately, regardless of the expression of the mother next to her, "Okay, okay."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly stared at by her displeased mother, and the little girl didn't dare to speak again.

Luo Xiaojiu knew that this woman was afraid that after eating her strawberries for free, she would be forced to buy them. There were many such unscrupulous vendors in the market.

She said to the woman, "Sister, don't worry, since I said it's a free trial, I will never force my sister to buy strawberries."

"Besides, there are so many people watching around here. Businessmen are most concerned about credibility. If I lie to my sister, I will be shooting myself in the foot."

Before she said this, in fact, not many people paid attention to them, only a few small vendors nearby were watching.

And these small vendors look at them because.
They had just seen with their own eyes that Luo Xiaojiu persuaded all the customers who wanted to buy strawberries at the price of 10 cents per catty
They wanted to see the joke that Luo Xiaojiu couldn't sell strawberries!
But after Luo Xiaojiu said that sentence just now.
Many pedestrians passing by around also surrounded him one after another.

Seeing more and more "witnesses", the young woman pondered for a moment.

Then, I saw her saying to the peach seller next to her:

"Brother has heard it all. I don't know how to buy her strawberries. It's just that she wants to try it, so I will help her as much as I can."

Those watching the crowd didn't know that it was Luo Xiaojiu who "begged" her to taste strawberries, but this peach vendor was always there.

The vendor wanted to see Luo Xiaojiu make a joke, and immediately responded after hearing what she said, "I see, I see, I will testify to you."

The young woman said to the onlookers around, "Everyone has to testify for me, I don't know how to buy these strawberries!"

Some people responded, and some didn't.

But as long as someone answers.

The woman looked at Luo Xiaojiu again with satisfaction, "Let's try it then."

Hearing her answer, the happiest thing was the little girl next to her, she jumped up with joy, hurried to Luo Xiaojiu and asked:

"Sister, where can I eat strawberries?"

The little girl was pulled by her mother with her left hand just now, and she walked in the opposite direction of the strawberry, and she didn't see her strawberry stand.

Luo Xiaojiu kindly pulled her over.

She picked out a big red strawberry from a small basket on the spread and handed it to the little girl, "Here, try it."

When the little girl just walked over, she was tempted by the sweet taste of strawberries and narrowed her eyes. Seeing how beautiful strawberries are now, she was pleasantly surprised and said:

"Wow, it's exactly as it was said in the newspaper, it's so bright red."

Luo Xiaojiu doesn't like this little girl's mother very much, but he likes this pure and cute little girl very much.

Smiling and touching her little head.

The little girl thanked Luo Xiaojiu, and then took a small bite.

"So sweet"

The little girl doesn't know those polite words, so she expresses it with the simplest words and the most sincere expressions.

The apricot pupils are curved, and the two dimples at the corners of the lips seem to be filled with rich wine, which makes people intoxicated.

The little girl felt delicious and immediately ran to her mother, and raised her two chubby hands to her mother:

"Mother, try it too, the strawberries from my sister's house are really sweet."
