Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 255

It's also a coincidence that the two brothers Li Xianwen and Li Xianwu fell in love because of the lack of raw materials for business a few years ago.

The Lantern Festival of the first lunar month was just around the corner, and Long Mingxing guessed that her baby girl was about to start a business. Afraid of delaying the child's business, Long Mingxing had been looking for fresh milk since the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Getting a bucket early in the morning, Long Mingxing didn't delay at all, so he asked the two sons to send it to the city non-stop.

No, the milk goats I bought were packed a lot this morning, and the two brothers gave me a big bucket. Yu Su thought, the Chinese New Year has been delayed for a long time and there is no business. The output of old and young has been given back to customers, but the supply of those berries is still in short supply.

Now the raw materials are sufficient. While the brothers delivered fresh milk, they also sent a basket of eggs they had accumulated. Her raw materials were very sufficient, so with a wave of Yu Su's hand, she directly added two more barrels of milk, ready to Take this opportunity to earn some money so that you can change the yard, and avoid the rat incident from happening again.

Yu Su, who was trying his best to make money, thought that he added two buckets of rice, at most it would take a little longer than yesterday to close the stall, and it would be absolutely no problem to sell them out, but an accident still happened.

It was around Chenshi, which was a good time to serve customers at my stall.

Yu Su and Song Xiahe had already made preparations. They were afraid that there would not be enough cakes to sell when the concubine got married. The two aunts and sisters-in-law baked a lot of cakes one after another while they were not busy. The bamboo baskets were wrapped in special clean quilts to protect the heat. At the same time, they continued to bake and bake without stopping.

Sure enough, when the time came, their stall was full of people.

There are rich kids who spend a lot of money with lucky money in their pockets, wave their hands proudly, and buy a catty or two to satisfy their addiction;
There is a poor kid who is playing around, and finally begged for a few pennies from the parents, and is wronged to buy a few pieces of teeth;

Because they closed the business early years ago and stopped doing it, they provoked greedy worms, and there are old customers who are eager to satisfy their appetite;
Naturally, there are also passers-by who pass by, are attracted by the overbearing aroma, stop unconsciously, and feel heartache, while sniffing their noses and reluctantly paying for it;

There are even those servant girls who follow the orders of their masters, carry food boxes and money, and wait in line to buy cakes in a regular manner;
Etc., etc……

In short, under the acacia tree on the street, in front of a small stall, there are crowds of people surrounded. The lively appearance is comparable to the lottery scene in the 90s of later generations. It's just that they are hot-eyed, laugh and curse reproachfully, and shake their heads sighingly. They have never used any despicable means to compete maliciously.

And it is worth mentioning that the Dayue Dynasty at this time, regardless of being an ancient feudal dynasty, has its own way of doing everything.

All kinds of restaurants, restaurants, and food stalls in this city, although everyone pays taxes to the yamen and is managed by the yamen, but they also have their own rules in private.

For example, there are guilds and chambers of commerce in the shops along the street, and there are group heads in the small stalls and hawkers. Everyone is not in the same class, and the customer base is different. Therefore, on the same street, you can’t find two identical shops, or two similar shops. A small stall selling the same goods.

These seemingly old-fashioned rules have protected them, the low-level people, very well.

In addition, Yu Su's booth was found by Zhao Butou, and he was also protected by Zhao Butou. There were no short-sighted people on the street who dared to bully them. It was smooth sailing, but Yu Su managed to do business today.

"Come on, little shopkeeper, hurry up, my master is still waiting for hot cakes, fill up these three-layer food boxes for me, hurry up."

"Hey, hey, little boss, I don't want much, just half a catty, good girl, don't sell out all the ready-made ones in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, but I can't wait to make it now, save some for me... "

"I, I, I, I want cakes for two dollars! Bring it to me!!"

Well, thanks to the fact that I and my second sister were well prepared, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cope with the current commotion.

Yu Su took the food box with one hand, lifted the quilt with the other, and at the same time, he didn't forget to shout loudly towards the team that kept pushing forward.

"Everyone, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there are all of them. Today's Japanese stalls have enough raw materials to ensure that everyone can buy them. Don't push and squeeze. Be careful that my car will be overturned. When the time comes If it’s all thrown away, this business will definitely not work, and everyone will have nothing to eat.”

"Hahaha, it is extremely, it is extremely, what the little boss said is true!"

In the crowd, a strong man with his son on his shoulders smiled heartily. Feeling the force of the push behind him, the man turned around and hurriedly yelled behind him, "Did you hear that, the little boss has spoken, don't push any more. Everyone has it, and you can buy it! Don’t squeeze! Don’t squeeze!”

That's what I said, everyone has heard it, but people, sometimes I'm afraid that I will suffer a little bit, and be a little slow, after all, the scholar's baked cakes have been sold out for a long time since they came. , if they are late, what if they don't get their turn?Do you have to come back tomorrow?

No, no, you have to squeeze!
A burst of force struck again, causing the man carrying his precious son to lose his center of gravity, and couldn't help but staggered. The man turned his head angrily to scold him. Suddenly, a clear and gentle cry came from one side of the line. come over.

"Sell cakes, sell cakes, scholar cakes, scholar cakes, eat scholar cakes, the child will be smart and get the first prize..."

this sound?
The people in the team who heard the sound couldn't help but looked in the direction of the sound, and the big guys saw it at a glance, a half-grown girl wearing a green cotton new shirt and long skirt, with a waist that can't be grasped, and a shy face , Er, yes, it's the girl!She combs her hair like a girl's head, she is a girl!
The girl who caught people's attention just by looking at her is soft and weak, her voice is clear and crisp, gentle and gentle, like a warm spring breeze blowing towards her face, people's hearts can't help but relax, and their eyes suddenly light up.

Then look at the girl holding a huge bamboo basket in her hand, and shouting to sell cakes one by one.

people...

On this street, Tuantou allowed another cake seller to do business nearby?
Hmm, maybe it's different from the baked cakes I'm queuing up right now?Everyone subconsciously thought.

There are those who are greedy for flowers and lust, those who are greedy for food and love new things, and those who can't help but be curious. They squinted their eyes and hurriedly turned to the person who was wandering around in front of the bakery stand with a basket on his arm to sell.

Someone howled loudly, "Hey, that cake seller, what kind of cakes do you sell?"

When He Yuli got the greeting, she looked happy, and hurried forward with the basket on her arm, and lifted off the clean white gauze covering the basket, He Yuli lit the cake in her basket, and explained gently with a smile.

"Hello, guest officers. Please look at this basket. There are steamed cakes made of honey, eggs, and fresh milk in this basket. This cake is soft and sweet, and the taste is definitely not inferior to the baked cakes that all guests are queuing up to buy. The price is also fair, one for one, if it is weighed by the catty, eighteen yuan per catty; In addition, there is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is pickled and pickled golden osmanthus by my own in the fall of my family. It is combined with the newly harvested glutinous rice a few years ago. It’s only made in one process, and the taste couldn’t be better, but customers want to buy one and try it?”

The guests who invited He Yuli to ask questions were just curious to watch the excitement, but it turned out that He Yuli was good-looking, and he spoke softly, and then looked at the steaming golden steamed cake in his basket; Yingying is like white jade, and the triangular osmanthus cake with golden osmanthus inlaid on it is pleasing to the eye. When you smell it, the osmanthus is fragrant.

There are those who are used to eating baked cakes and want to change their taste, and those who love sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, they can't help but swallow their saliva.

Regardless of whether he was still in line or not, he simply waved his hand and greeted He Yuli.

"Well, this cake looks good!", and the person is also nice, "Little sister, give me a catty."

"It's rare to come across this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so give me half a catty."

"I'll buy some to taste too."

"And I……"

Some people cheer, and naturally some people don't.

For example, the man who was almost knocked down with his baby on his shoulders, he just stood unwaveringly in the queue, unmoved, while coaxing him, while swearing to buy a scholar's baked cake;
There are children with two coins in their hands, recalling the sweet taste of the scholar's baked cakes, and recalling the retail price of the scholar's baked cakes, and for those cake sellers who came out halfway, they will give them a cake for every penny. ?

The kids quit, they don't care if the cake seller is a beauty or not, they don't like that.

"Hey, you cake seller is dishonest, and the baked cakes of other scholars are sold for one yuan and three yuan!"

He Yuli, who was collecting money to sell cakes, couldn't help but pause when she heard this.

Inwardly cursing these abominable furry kids in shabby clothes surrounding him, but with a reserved smile on his face, he explained patiently.

"Hehehe, children, you have misunderstood. Look at this cake..." She wrapped a steamed cake made by herself with a snow-white cotton handkerchief, and waved it in front of the children.

"Look, children, sister's steamed cake is bigger than that other baked cake, and one of them is several times better than others! To tell you the truth, sister uses honest materials, and they are all the best things, and they taste good when kept. Well, sweet and soft, it is most suitable for the elderly and children to eat! Children, there is a scholar in my sister's house, and this cake is also a good thing that the scholar said after eating it. It is not comparable to ordinary scholars. ...Children, if you often eat sister's cakes, maybe you will be able to study and take the scholar exam in the future, and you will be the number one! "

When the time comes, her cake will have to be called Number One Scholar Cake!
Children don't understand, they are naive, but they are very realistic.

After listening to He Yuli's vivid deception, they couldn't help falling into thinking.

The children were not moved, but they were moved after listening to the ears, raised their eyebrows, and stroked their beards, "Oh, really? This girl, your cake is really a cake that the scholar master said after eating it? Is it still a cake that can guarantee the champion? The meaning is so good? Then give me a try..."

He Yuli saw the opportunity to come here to sell cakes, and she did a lot of homework for it. Look at what she said, and the meaning she gave to the cakes... Tsk tsk tsk, everything has something to say, just It's like deliberately stepping on her scholar's baked cakes to make stepping stones for her things.

However, Yu Su, who was busy baking cakes at the back of the car, hadn't heard of this yet, but He Yuli's side followed closely with another group of people who followed suit.

It is the children who raised doubts just now...

Shrewd little ones, after thinking about the size of the baked cakes on the scholar's baked cake stand, and secretly comparing the size of the steamed cake in He Yuli's hand, the hairy kids decisively took out the copper plates in their hands, screaming Just like five hundred ducks singing and drinking in unison, they yelled at He Yuli while pulling their necks.

"Give me one, I have a penny."

"I want two, I want two, cake seller, you choose the big one for me."

He Yuli was very satisfied with the current good business, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, there are, there are, everyone, don't worry, I have a ready-made cake, there is no need to line up, everyone, take your time, there are... "

Such a good business is not in vain because I have been pestering my husband these days; I am not in vain for all the energy and hard work I have expended. As long as there is money to earn, all the hard work is worth it!
She has to prove that she is more promising than that little guy next door!
He Yuli responded, collecting money in her hand, and selling cakes. Thinking of the past, she couldn't suppress the pride in her heart. From time to time, she moved towards the end of the line, and she had already noticed someone at her stall, and secretly voted A provocative look.

Seeing this, Yu Su lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened, and he didn't speak. He was a little confused by the heroine who suddenly appeared and manipulated.

She didn't say a word, but Song Xiahe, who was busy setting up the iron plate next to her, was in a panic, and wished she could immediately throw the hot iron plate in her hand on someone who robbed them of their business.

"Second sister-in-law, look at He Yuli, how can she do this! Everyone is from the same village, living next door to the wall, they are all from the old Song family, and they haven't given five blessings. How can she be so blatant? Grabbing business!!! Second sister-in-law, she, she..."

hateful!

When I was in the village before, I saw this sister-in-law. She felt sympathetic to her, and felt that she was very pitiful. It was not easy to make a living in Da Song's house. I saw her not being able to carry things on her back, and she was starving and cold behind her back. I obviously had a hard time tomorrow, so I didn't help her less.

Help her carry firewood, help her hunt pigweed, and secretly touch the food that she has eaten several times, all of which are precious food saved from his own mouth.

But the result?

I am so blind!

How could she have never noticed before that this timid, poor child bride and sister-in-law turned out to be such an existence?
Song Xiahe was out of breath, looking excited as he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up to fight, but was stopped by Yu Su who came to his senses.

"Second sister, don't worry, everyone is waiting for our cake, you will only let others take advantage of you if you go now, we are not worth the loss, don't go!"

"But second sister-in-law, don't you just watch her ride on top of us to grab business? Don't you get angry?"

Angry is naturally angry, but...

Yu Su pointed at the ones in front of his stall, but there were still no customers leaving in line.

"Second sister, look, no matter how much that person jumps around, we still have these lovely and loyal customers! And she only has such a basket of cakes, even if they are all sold out, how much can we take away? We have a lot of cakes. , baked and sold now, the taste must be better than her finished product, don't be angry, the customer comes first, it is important to take care of the customer."

Yu Su's words are absolutely correct, no matter what other customers say, those maids who buy cakes under the orders of their masters will not change their minds just because of a little advantage or because of a pretty girl selling them.

They are very firm!
There were also some loyal customers who didn't move at all, and didn't even look at He Yuli.

After listening to Yu Su's aunt and sister-in-law biting their ears, they all laughed and gave Yu Subi their thumbs all the time.

"Hey, what the little boss said is right. I like this fresh bite. I bake it and sell it now. It won't be exchanged for a thousand dollars. Hurry up, I want two catties, little boss, hurry up!"

"And us, us!"

……

After losing some customers, Aunt Yu Su Song and Xia He worked harder because she didn't want to lose more.

But in the end, they still underestimated the wickedness of a certain heroine.

This guy is standing on his own territory, selling the same things as himself, robbing her ready-made customers and selling out the goods, not to mention the sweetness, but this guy has a brilliant vision!
After selling out a basket in the morning, they nestled in front of their booth with a full basket in their arms in the afternoon, not to mention picking up their baked cakes and selling them in line, and the price was lower than theirs.

Let the heroine make such a coquettish operation, poorly, their bakery business has always been affected.

In the afternoon, it was already past the closing time. Yu Su looked at the three barrels of pulp left in his car pocket, sighed, and insisted on continuing to sell.

If I had known that Cheng Yaojin, who was not friendly, would suddenly come out today, why would I want to add two buckets of pulp in a stupid way!

Miscalculation, what a miscalculation!
She didn't understand, she didn't offend the heroine, did she?
Isn't it because she wasn't used as a control group, and didn't bring their husband and wife together when they went to the city that day?

Could it be that because of this, the heroine will hate herself?
It shouldn't be!

According to the original book, the heroine is a super five-good heroine who combines gentleness, kindness, beauty, steadfastness, and tenacity. Don't you hate her for such a small thing?
Could it be because of the power of the plot?
Yu Su thought hard, because she really couldn't figure it out, the hostess who followed her husband to the county seat, logically, at this time, she should be busy looking for a place to live, busy buying a house, busy taking care of her husband who has already enrolled , how could there be that Beijing time, come out to sell cakes to steal her business?

Taking a step back, even if there is, with the character and temper of the hero, he will still be the number one scholar in the future. How could he allow his wife to come out and show his face?Aren't you afraid of being criticized by others?
And no matter how small Tongyang County is, there is a short distance from Chengxi County to Sanyuan Lane in the east of the city. The hostess kept the streets and alleys away from selling along the streets, but came all the way to target herself?
It can't be that you are jealous of yourself, right?

Yu Su shook his head.

Shouldn't it?That's the heroine, the heroine!
