The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 10 Going to the county seat

Zhao Yunxi, who couldn't sleep at night, got up and went to the small room, and carefully checked the packed kiwis again. I still feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, this is not the previous life, and I don’t know if it can be sold.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunxi had just finished breakfast and walked out of the main room when he saw his cousin who had already arrived at the door of the courtyard.

Zhao Yunxi greeted with a smile: "Brother, you're here so early. Have you eaten? If not, go inside and have something to eat."

"I've already eaten it, let's load the fruit into the car first!"

On the ox cart, after Zhao Yuntong's constant stalking, he finally boarded the ox cart bound for the county town.

After running on the road for nearly an hour, Zhao Yunxi came to the ancient county for the first time and was very curious about everything.

Looking at the three characters Pingyang County on the ancient city wall, Zhao Yunxi only felt the majesty. They queued up obediently at the door to enter the city. After entering the city, a few people went straight to the busiest market.

Arriving at the bustling market and looking at the streets with people coming and going, Zhao Yunxi felt panicked for the first time. This was the first time she was doing business in her life.

A few people walked back and forth twice before finally choosing a location to set up a stall.

After Zhao Yang and Zhao Yunbai moved the kiwis down, they drove the ox cart to the place where the ox cart was stored. Zhao Yunxi at the stall put the oval dustpan that his second uncle had made over the past few days on top of the two baskets of kiwis, and then arranged the kiwis neatly.

When they were placed, many people stopped to pay attention. With curiosity in their eyes, Zhao Yunxi saw their eyes from the corner of his eye and talked loudly about the goodness of kiwi fruits while speeding up the placement.

When the people who stopped heard it, some actually came forward to ask.

Zhao Yunbai and others looked at the person who came forward and asked, and they were a little embarrassed to open their mouths to answer.

Zhao Yunxi didn't have so many scruples, and introduced with a smile: "This is a fresh fruit called kiwi. It tastes sweet and soft, and it can be used for beauty and beauty."

When the people watching heard the introduction, they did not immediately come forward to ask the price. Zhao Yunxi was not in a hurry when he saw this, and took out the bowl and homemade toothpicks he had prepared in advance. I picked up a kiwi fruit, peeled it open, then cut it into small pieces, and walked to an aunt who was taking care of a child.

"Auntie, try it. If you think it's delicious and it suits your taste, it's not too late to buy it."

When the woman heard that she could try it first, she no longer hesitated, took a bamboo stick and picked a piece.

His suspicious expression was immediately replaced by surprise, and he nodded repeatedly: "It tastes really good, and it tastes different from the fruits I have eaten before."

When the people around heard the woman say that the fruit tasted good, they became curious and wanted to try it. Zhao Yunxi did not refuse and let several people try it.

Seeing that everyone looked satisfied after trying the food, Zhao Yunxi felt even more confident.

"Little girl, how much do you sell your fruits for?"

Zhao Yunxi looked at the woman who asked the price and said sincerely: "Aunt, this fruit is a new variety. It was originally twenty-five cents per catty. But today is our first day in the county, and now the top ten customers have purchased it. Enjoy the preferential price, only 20 yuan per catty.”

The person who asked the price was shocked and said: "It's so expensive."

Zhao Yunxi said with a smile: "Auntie, this is really not expensive. Eating kiwi fruit is good for your health and beauty. A good-looking person like Auntie will look better after eating kiwi fruit."

And it contains a lot of nutrients. If there is a pregnant woman at home or a young lady who is preparing to become pregnant, eating it can make the baby grow more beautiful. If there are elderly people at home who are suffering from constipation, eating it will help relieve them. "

After hearing her introduction, the woman remembered that the elderly at home did have this problem, and said reluctantly: "Then I will buy a pound to try. It is twenty cents per pound!" Zhao Yunxi said with a smile on his face: "Yes. Auntie, you are the first one to buy it, and you will enjoy the preferential price of twenty cents per catty."

When Zhao Yunbai saw someone placing an order, he quickly weighed a pound and poured it into the woman's bamboo basket. Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi pretended to be two more: "Auntie, if you eat well, you will also help us promote more."

When the woman saw it, her original regretful thoughts dissipated at this moment. He said cheerfully: "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely help you promote it more."

Seeing this, other people rushed to buy, not wanting to lag behind, fearing that they would be ranked behind.

The stall was very lively for a while, but after this wave of people left, the stall began to calm down.

Seeing her two brothers and third sister looking at her in surprise, she accepted the admiring gazes calmly.

Turning to the three of them, he said: "You don't dare to speak. It's just that you are timid and shy for fear of being rejected. But what's the point? Not everyone will buy our things, but if you don't even have the courage to speak, then they definitely won't Someone came to ask.

Later, you will take the bowl and bamboo skewers, follow the example I did just now, and go to the street to invite people to try it. As long as you take one step, you will find that it is not difficult. "

After Zhao Yunxi finished speaking, he ignored their inner struggles and turned around to start selling again. Perhaps it was the publicity effect just now. The people who came to buy this time took away five kilograms after trying it.

Zhao Yuntong was no longer shy when he saw this, and imitated Zhao Yunxi and started shouting at the people coming and going.

"We are selling kiwi fruit, delicious and delicious kiwi fruit."

People passing by heard the shouts of the two little girls, and people kept coming up to ask. Most people did not buy after asking the price. Zhao Yunxi was not upset and faced everyone with a smile on his face. The Zhao Yunbai brothers hesitated for a moment, then put aside their dignity and started shouting in the market.

The two brothers Zhao Yunbai were shouting at the market. There were so many people coming to the stall, and soon the baskets of kiwis were all gone.

The stall owner who was selling things nearby saw it and said: "You young people are really good at selling things. I haven't had such a good business selling things in many years."

Zhao Yunxi heard the words of the father-in-law next to him and said: "I'm joking, what we sell is just a fresh one. It can't compare to your long-term business."

After finishing speaking, he packed some kiwi fruits and handed them to the old man, saying: "I'm so impressed. Today is also our first day at the market. There are many things we don't understand. Please give me some advice. Let me take this piece of fruit home to eat." .”

The old man looked at the kiwi fruit in the girl's hand, which he estimated weighed more than a kilogram, and the smile on his face became much more obvious. Said: "You little girl is quite polite. I have been setting up a stall in this market for decades. I still know a little bit about it. The stall fee in the market is ten cents and the time is two hours."

Zhao Yunxi didn't know the rules about stall fees, and he could only set up the stall for two hours after paying once.

As the sun gets higher, the number of people in the street market begins to decrease. Zhao Yunxi moved to the west of the city according to the original plan.

The west part of the city is indeed the residence of the rich. The enthusiasm of the servants buying kiwi fruits is unprecedentedly high. Despite the price increase, three hundred kilograms were sold at an extremely fast rate.

After wandering around this area, Zhao Yunxi looked at the remaining kiwis and prepared to turn around and head to the east of the city. That area was populated by powerful families.

After sitting on the bullock cart and taking only two steps, there was a shout from behind.

"Kiwi fruit buyers, stop."
