Chapter 20

After Ning Xi had finished her breakfast, the two put on their baskets and went out.

It is more than 20 miles from Shanghe Village to Yaoxiang Town. During the period, we have to go over mountains and ridges. It’s okay to take a bullock cart, but it’s quite tiring to walk by yourself. The bullock cart will only come to pick up people when they go to the market. Yaoxiang Town goes to the market every three days. Today is not a day to go to the market, so I can only walk.

After walking along the path for about an hour, the two of them were already drenched in sweat and out of breath.

Knowing that the pannier she was carrying was much lighter, Ning Xi proposed to change with Zhang Ying, but was rejected.

After walking for another hour, the two finally arrived at Yao Township.

Their destination today is the textile factory next to No. [-] Middle School.

The place was chosen by Ning Xi a long time ago. There is a large flow of people here, and the workers in the textile factory have money, so the money spent is relatively generous.

First, I found an empty seat to set up a stall. In fact, I took out the dried fish and spicy strips and put them in a dustpan lined with oiled paper, and then put the dustpan on the quilt basket, and a simple stall was set up.

There are already many stalls on the side of the road, selling everything, porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, eggs, vegetables, baskets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, street vendors and so on.

Zhang Ying was a little uncomfortable when she came out to set up a stall for the first time, standing beside Ning Xi with a stiff face, not knowing what to do.

In her previous life, Ning Xi often sold her family's vegetables in exchange for some living expenses. She had a thicker skin than Zhang Ying. Seeing some workers from the textile factory leaving the night shift leave the factory, Ning Xi yelled at the top of her voice.

"Spicy dried fish, fragrant and delicious spicy dried fish."

"Look here and here, the spicy small dried fish here is the best."

"Look here and here, the spicy small dried fish is the most affordable here."

Ning Xi's yelling was quite loud, and besides, he was well-looking and well-dressed, and soon there were quite a few people standing in front of the booth.

"Brother, let's have a look! My family's secret spicy dried fish is spicy and delicious. I guarantee that you will want to eat it again after eating it once. Also, this spicy strip is also delicious. I guarantee that you will want to eat it for the second time after taking one bite." Two bites."

After being called by Ning Xi, the eldest brother standing in the front row glanced at the small dried fish on the stall, "It smells really good, and it looks quite appetizing, but it's not delicious without meat."

"No meat doesn't mean it's not tasty. If you don't believe me, you can taste it first." Ning Xi picked up a bamboo skewer and forked a small dried fish and handed it to the eldest brother, "Taste it first, and then buy it if it tastes good. , it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it.”

Big Brother didn't answer "Free?"

"Yes, because you are the first customer today, you can try it for free."

Hearing what Ning Xi said, the eldest brother took the dried fish and put it in his mouth to chew, "Yeah! Delicious, this dried fish is so delicious, it tastes even better than pork."

Ning Xi squinted her eyes and smiled kindly, "Haha! Brother, I was joking. It can't be compared to pork, but it's really delicious, right! Brother, do you want some?"

"How did you sell it?"

"The price of dried fish and spicy strips is ten cents per catty."

The people around shook their heads again and again.

"It's too expensive, big fish only cost 9 cents a catty!"

"Yes! Big fish have meat, so it's fine if it's more expensive, but you little fish has no meat head, so what's the point of eating it?"

"Sister, make it cheaper." The eldest brother also thinks it is expensive, so he smashed his mouth, and there was a strong spicy taste in his mouth, which seduced him like poison, making him want to continue to feast on his mouth. .

"Brother, it's already very cheap. The reason why this spicy dried fish is delicious is because I added a lot of secret seasonings in it. These seasonings alone cost a lot of money!"

Ning Xi shook his head in embarrassment, thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't you do this! Brother, if you buy a pound of dried fish, I'll give you a few spicy sticks. The taste of my spicy sticks is also unique, so let's take it as the number one. The benefits that God will give you."

The eldest brother thought for a while, gritted his teeth and took out a dime, "Okay! Give me a catty."

"Excellent!" Ning Xi responded with a smile, and hurriedly winked at Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying hurriedly took out the oil paper from the back basket, wrapped the dried fish in the oil paper with chopsticks, weighed it, and added a few pepper sticks. strip.

As soon as the oil paper bag was in the hands of the eldest brother, several people gathered around him. These should be colleagues who have a good relationship with the eldest brother. Everyone asked to taste the taste. The eldest brother did not refuse but also made a request. Each person can only eat one. He still wants to take it back to make his wife happy.

After they tasted it, those few people were full of praise for the spicy small dried fish, hurriedly paid for a catty each on Ning Xi's side, and also asked Ning Xi to send them a few spicy strips, Ning Xi smiled and gave them more A few spicy sticks.

People who watched the excitement around also stepped forward to buy some, and some people planned to buy half a catty to go back and taste it. Ning Xi also generously gave three spicy sticks to others.

Seeing that a lot of dried fish had been sold, and a lot of spicy sticks had been given away, Zhang Ying became anxious, and stood beside Ning Xi and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, how can we make money by giving away like this."

Ning Xi blinked at Zhang Ying, "Sister-in-law, it's fine."

In the eyes of most people, small dried fish is at least meat, as long as it tastes good, you can accept it for a cent, but the spicy strips are not made of meat, and it is definitely not worth a cent.

Ning Xi offered to give away spicy strips when she buys spicy small fish, not only to get customers to buy her spicy small fish, but also to let these people take the spicy strips back for a taste. If you fall in love with spicy noodles, you will not be afraid that no one will buy them.

After being busy for a while, around eleven o'clock, the dried spicy fish was sold out, and the spicy strips were basically given away. Seeing that there were still some spicy strips left in the dustpan, Ning Xi and Zhang Ying packed up the spicy strips Give it to small vendors doing business around.

In the future, it is necessary for them to set up a stall here for a long time and establish a good relationship with everyone. She doesn't want others to help her when something happens, but she thinks that they won't talk nonsense behind your back because of jealousy.

Some of the jealous vendors laughed when they got the latiao before, boasting that the two of them know how to do business.

After packing up the baskets, the two went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some fishing nets and headed home.

It was past one o'clock when they returned to the village, and Lu He had already had lunch and took his two brothers out to catch fish.

As soon as Ning Xi entered, Lu Nan immediately went into the kitchen and got busy, and the food was served on the table in a short while, fried pork with cabbage.

call!They finally saw meat on their table.

Seeing two bowls of rice on the table, Ning Xi walked over and sat down, "Brother Nan, you didn't eat, so you don't have to wait for me."

"It's too deserted to eat alone."

Before, the two of them ate their own meals and never waited for each other, why didn't they see him at that time and felt deserted.

Ning Xi babbled, but finally didn't say what was in her heart, "Did you take your medicine in the morning?"

"Yeah! Eat it." Lu Nan responded.

After lunch, Zhang Ying came over. Zhang Ying closed the door and took out the cloth bag she sewed, and took out a bag full of change.

"Why are there so many?" Zhang Ying's eyes were straightened. She just kept stuffing money into the cloth bag all morning, and she didn't realize that there was so much money in the cloth bag without realizing it.

"Brother Nan, you and sister-in-law have counted the money, I'll get a notebook and write it down." Ning Xi was also full of excitement, and hurried back to take out the notebook.

The condiments bought a few days ago, and every penny spent these days are recorded in detail in the notebook.
