The reborn peasant girl is rampant

Chapter 71 Selling Fruits ([-])
"Nian Yao. You, you really can't promise me this time?"

Feng Niang was a little disappointed, Gu Nianyao raised her head coldly and said: "It's not that I can't promise you, but..." She hesitated a little, Feng Niang said urgently:
"Just what? I'll pay for it myself, so don't worry."

Gu Nianyao waved her hand, as if just in case, and made a special statement in advance: "It's just that you said that men and women send jade to each other, expressing love and promise. If I really pass it on for you Now, if you regret it in the future, you will definitely blame me..."

Feng Niang nodded eagerly: "Absolutely not, because I know very well that Patriarch Baili will not fall in love with me because of this, but... in this life, one must do what one wants to do once, for the sake of growing old in the future." Just think about it, don't you?"

Gu Nianyao sighed, and put the purple jade and the drawing paper into her arms: "Then I will go to work first, and I will definitely help you with this matter."

Feng Niang nodded, and left happily.

…………

After a while, Gu Nianyao walked up to Baili Yichen with an unnatural expression, and sighed deliberately: "Feng Niang is such an infatuated woman, she clearly knows that the other party does not fall in love with her... and she gave the most precious things to her." other side."

She said, then turned around with a smile and said: "Patriarch Baili, who do you think Fengniang likes?"

Standing aside, Mu Nan couldn't help laughing, and answered first: "Perhaps, the person Feng Niang really likes has already known her intentions? Hey, it's just that old fox...cough cough"

Before Mu Nan finished speaking, Baili Yichen looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you sure you want to talk nonsense?"

Mu Nan closed his mouth wisely, turned his head to look at Gu Nianyao with a blank face, and explained a little stiffly: "Girl don't mind, I was joking just now! Who can guess what Feng Niang is thinking? It's the so-called woman's heart Needle!"

Gu Nianyao rolled her eyes in her heart, and raised her head unexpectedly, only to find that Baili Yichen was looking at her with purple eyes and a smile:
"Leaving aside this matter, the bet between you and Princess Qianrou is only valid for five days, have you figured out how to deal with it?"

"Don't worry." Gu Nianyao smiled slyly: "I have my own thoughts on this matter."

……

In the early morning of the second day, the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another diagonally across from Baili Mansion. Gu Nianyao and Princess Qianrou stood at the door evenly and greeted the onlookers with smiles.

That Princess Qianrou actually chose to open a fruit shop next to Gu Nianyao's location, making it clear that she wanted to grab business.

The bet between the two of them on the third floor of Yanbozui last night officially kicked off at this moment.

However, although they opened at the same time, the situation is quite different.

Because of the wealth and wealth of Princess Qianrou, the fruit shop was cleaned up by the servants overnight, and everything was arranged in a busy manner, ready to wait for the people to come to the door.

On the other hand, on Gu Nianyao's side, apart from a few crackling firecrackers, the inside of the house was still pitch black, and the area of ​​the fruit shop was backlit and gloomy.

Moreover, there are only a few big round watermelons at the door of the fruit shop.

Princess Qianrou shook the handle of her fan lightly, and said disdainfully: "Are you planning to start the business like this? Don't be ashamed, Yan Bozui's bet. You'd better admit defeat and admit that you and Feng Niang are nothing but fools. "

Gu Nianyao cleaned the floor of the house calmly, without even raising her eyes: "Princess Qianrou, the bet between you and me has already begun, you are just a vegetable farmer selling fruits, don't worry about what I want to do, Just take care of yourself."

As she spoke, she soaked the rag next to the bucket again, and wiped the table carefully. Princess Qianrou saw that she was bored, so she had no choice but to turn around and go back to the shop unwillingly.

At noon, the surrounding air was rather sultry. Gu Nianyao placed a pot of fruit tea beside the cutting board, and then copied a knife with his bare hands, very quickly cutting a big round watermelon into half-moon shapes.

I saw that after setting out the fruit tea, she cut the watermelon into small pieces along the half-moon-shaped skin, put them into bowls like this, sprinkled some sugar foam and crushed ice, and waited for the guests door to door.

Not long after, a few people finally began to be attracted by Gu Nianyao's fresh selling method.

Most of them have only seen the watermelons that have been cut up and put there for sale. They have never seen someone arrange the watermelons so delicately, and the cut melons are still covered with a lid after they are put into the porcelain bowl. It looks not only Delicious and chic but also very clean to increase appetite.

As more and more people gathered around, Gu Nianyao cut up the watermelon and put it into a bowl with deft hands and feet, sprinkled crushed ice and sugar foam on it, and said with a smile:

"My watermelon can be eaten here, or you can buy it together with the porcelain bowl. The silver is paid by me, and there is no change. Everyone prepares the copper coins."

As soon as they heard that they could still enjoy it here, some students who were on their way immediately paid the money and walked into the room with porcelain bowls. Because Gu Nianyao's fruit shop was backlit, the fruit shop was very cool at such a temperature.

Seeing the other party's silver barrel getting heavier and heavier, Princess Qianrou felt puzzled.

While she was absent-mindedly giving money to the guest officer, she frowned tightly and whispered to the servant next to her, "You ask someone to go to her place to see, why did you cut up this watermelon and put it here, how can you sell it like this?"

The servant nodded, and hurriedly waved to a few men dressed as ordinary people not far away, signaling them to go over.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and before Gu Nianyao reached out to wipe the sweat, a pair of slender white hands and a soft brocade handkerchief suddenly appeared in front of her.

Looking up slowly along those hands, Baili Yichen was looking at her with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, surrounded by Dabao and Xiaobao.

As soon as the two little carrots saw their mother, they immediately pounced on them and rubbed their heads at Gu Nianyao coquettishly: "Mother, mother, you haven't come to see us after being busy for so long."

Gu Nianyao reached out and rubbed the heads of the two of them, then picked up a porcelain bowl and stuffed it into the hands of the two little radish heads, and said, "Hey, go inside and wait for your mother, okay? It's sunny here, don't be afraid Sunburned."

Dabao nodded reluctantly, and Xiaobao drew circles on the ground with his toes and said: "Xiaobao, after Xiaobao comes home, he still wants to eat the dishes you cooked..."

Gu Nianyao laughed: "Okay, wait for your mother to finish the work, and then we will go home and eat delicious food together!"

The two little radish heads fully agreed, holding the porcelain bowls in their hands, and walked into the fruit shop to eat together. Gu Nianyao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue cutting the watermelon with a knife, but a magnetic voice sounded in his ears. sound:

"Don't move"

There was a slight pause in the movements of her hands, and Baili Yichen gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a brocade handkerchief in his hand. The gentle movements seemed to be caring for a treasure, which attracted a lot of attention.

"I, I'll do it myself." Gu Nianyao reached out and snatched the brocade handkerchief in embarrassment, Baili Yichen stopped, squinted her purple eyes and praised: "Your idea is really ingenious, among all the fruits, watermelon is the most Best seller and worst seller”

Gu Nianyao put away the money, put the cut watermelon into the bowl again, and continued curiously: "Why is this? Watermelon is the best product for relieving heat and heat, and it is very effective in detoxifying summer heat." , how can it be easy to sell, but not easy to sell?"

Baili Yichen smiled lightly, and tapped the table with his slender fingertips: "Most watermelons are sold whole, or split into two. There are very few fresh ones like yours."

Upon hearing the reason, Gu Nianyao couldn't help pursing her lips and thinking.

Those watermelons in modern times are wrapped in plastic wrap, so they are not afraid of being damaged if they are placed outside.But in the ancient times thousands of years ago, there was nothing to ask for. Even if the general fruit shop sellers bought watermelons, they would not be willing to cut them one by one, otherwise if there were leftovers, they would have to throw them away.

But the people who come here to buy fruit are either the lowest class poor people or ordinary people. How can they be willing to spend a lot of money to buy this whole watermelon?

Gu Nianyao couldn't help complaining for the people: "If the fruit shop doesn't think of a way, just wants to be lazy and sell the whole fruit, then of course these poor people want to buy it, but they are not willing to buy it."

Baili Yichen nodded, and then looked at her with a smile in her purple eyes: "That's right, so once you come up with a way to sell watermelons, it can be said to have solved a big problem. And... the fruit tea tastes good too. "

Gu Nianyao blushed at his praise, glanced down at the whispering crowd around her, and couldn't help muttering: "You, if you came here just to wipe my sweat and chat, then go back quickly! Otherwise ...what do other people think about me and you?"

Baili Yichen raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up indistinctly: "You are the owner of my Baili Mansion, and I am now negotiating business with my own seller, which is really normal."

Gu Nianyao rolled her eyes angrily, and deliberately waved her hands at him: "Since you have said so, it would be my fault if I drove you back again, so..."

She smiled wickedly, and put the watermelon knife in Baili Yichen's hand casually: "Cut the watermelon for me! I'm not strong enough! Anyway, it's easy to do things, isn't it?"

Baili Yichen froze for a moment, then took the knife from Gu Nianyao's surprised expression, and joked with a half-smile: "That's fine, I can attract more business for you."

Gu Nianyao snorted: "Who wants you to help me? Your living sign standing here is already conspicuous enough..."

The two chatted very happily, but they didn't know that Princess Qianrou, who had been sitting in her fruit shop all this time, was going crazy. At this moment, she was listening to the conversation between Gu Nianyao and Baili Yichen with her eyes wide open. .

After the conversation between Baili Yichen and Gu Nianyao, Princess Qianrou, who finally knew who the new owner was, immediately became angry from embarrassment.

She stood up with a livid face, rushed to Gu Nianyao without even thinking about it, and yelled at her: "Hey, this is a foul for you! When we clapped our hands and swore, you and I both said that you are not allowed to make despicable people." It's the means, isn't it!"
