      Chapter 20 Business

       "Jin Kee."

       "Isn't it, sister? You want to sell pancakes to Jin Kee?"

    If it was before yesterday, she might have tried this way, but after experiencing the incident at Honor Hall, she knew that she was a little village girl, and she couldn't get into these shops at all.

       "Let's go to the opposite side of Jin Kee."

      Su Ergou was dumbfounded: "Sister, Jin Kee sells dim sum! How many shops opened across from it have all closed down! Let's compete with it for business, have you ever managed?"

    Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Business grabbing? You are too worried, just two baskets of cakes, you can't sell many people. However, it is good for you to have this ambition, maybe one day in the future, we can really cooperate with JinjiMaybe grabbing business."

      Su Ergou muttered: "Sister, why do you love daydreaming more than me?"

      Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Okay, we'll know in a while whether it will sell or not."

      In ancient times, there were no urban management. As long as they didn't block the door of the shop, they could generally set up some small stalls. Of course, if it affected the operation of the shop, they would be driven away by the shop owner.

      The jewelry store opposite Jin Kee opens late, and this hour is suitable for setting up a stall.

       Jin Kee's first pot of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is about to be baked, and there is a long queue at the door.

      The more Su Ergou looked at it, the more he felt that he might not be able to sell any of them today.

      Su Xiaoxiao found a suitable place and took out the pancakes.

      They didn't have a stall car, so Su Xiaoxiao made a bamboo sieve tray hanging around her neck before setting off.

      The golden shortbread was neatly placed on the tray. If it was replaced by other hawkers, it might not attract much attention.

      But Su Xiaoxiao is a fat man weighing two hundred catties!

      Who walks over and doesn't look at her more?

      Even those waiting in line for Jin Kee Dim Sum couldn't help but look at her frequently.

       "Sister, let me serve the pancakes." Su Ergou said.

       "No, you have other tasks." Su Xiaoxiao picked up a shortbread and handed it to Su Ergou, "Eat."

      Su Ergou: "Aren't we going to sell it?"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "You don't understand, this is called eating and broadcasting."

      Su Ergou: "..."

      Su Ergou is used to all kinds of abnormalities after his sister broke her brain. Since his sister let him eat, he just eats.

      When he ate the third pancake, a little girl finally got so greedy that she took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to eat that."

      Mother and daughter came forward.

      The woman asked, "How do you sell these pancakes?"

      Su Xiaoxiaodao: "Ten cents a piece, there are three flavors, white sesame is red bean stuffing, black sesame is plum dried vegetable stuffing, double sesame is mung bean stuffing."

    The woman frowned and said, "Meat buns are only two renminbi each, and you can sell them for ten renminbi for a palm-sized pancake. It's too expensive!"

      Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently: "There is a lot of sugar, it is very sweet, there is meat in the dried plum vegetables, and the filling is very rich."

      In ancient times, sugar was expensive, and the cost was there. She already had a conscience price.

       "It's better for you to taste it first, and then buy it if it tastes good."

    "what……"

      The woman froze for a moment.

      Su Xiaoxiao wrapped her hands with clean gauze, cut three cakes on the spot, and let the woman and her child try a small piece of each flavor.

       "Mom! It's delicious, delicious!"

       It is rare for the woman to refute.

      I thought that the dim sum sold by a village girl would not taste very good, but unexpectedly it was so delicious.

      And she just noticed the little chubby village girl's movements when she cut the cake, she was very clean.

       "Two of the same." The woman said.

      Su Xiaoxiao took out a pancake wrapped in clean bamboo leaves: "I'll give you an extra one for the opening of the business. Which flavor do you want?"

       "Which one do you like best?" the woman asked her daughter.

      The little girl said bluntly: "I like them all!"

       "Let me have some dried plums." The woman said.

       "Okay." Su Xiaoxiao handed the wrapped pancake to the woman.

      The woman took out her purse.

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ergou, collect the money."

      Seeing the sudden extra sixty Wen in the purse, Su Ergou couldn't believe it.

      How much effort is this?Earn so much?

      It's faster than him and his father going door to door extorting money!

      The reaction of the mother and daughter was watched by everyone. Some people questioned the child care, while others were genuinely curious.

      Suddenly, a young scholar in the line at the gate of Jinji shouted: "Oh! It's her!"

      The companion in front of him turned his head and asked, "Who is it?"

    "I asked you to come to Jinji with me yesterday. If you didn't come, you missed it!" The scholar pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "She, as I told you, saved that fat village girl who choked on a child!"

       "Ah, that's right! It's her!"

       The person who said this was the old man who had just bought the first box of dim sum.

      He was also there when Su Xiaoxiao rescued the child.

      The scholar smiled and said, "I'll go buy her pancakes!"

    The companion was anxious: "Hey! There are two more and we will be here! We have been waiting for half an hour!"

      The scholar didn't care, and went across the street without looking back.

       "Girl, do you remember me?"

       "Have we met?"

       "Okay, I was upstairs yesterday, and you were in the lobby, and you were busy saving people, so you probably didn't see me."

      Su Xiaoxiao understood, she is Jin Kee's guest.

      The scholar patted the folding fan in his hand and said, "Your pancakes look very ordinary. Jinji also has this kind of shortbread."

      Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "But mine is more delicious."

       "Ha!" The scholar laughed out loud, not because of ridicule, but simply because he thought this little chubby village girl was a little cute with her confidence.

       "I bought it too if it was unpalatable, who asked me to respect you for being a heroine! Give me ten!"

      Su Xiaoxiao gave him ten bags.

      The scholar wondered: "Why didn't you give me one? The customer just bought only six and you gave them away."

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "That's an open business. If you are the first one to come tomorrow, even if you only buy one, I will give you one."

      The scholar is not greedy for her pancake?He didn't expect it to be delicious, he just made fun of it.

      He won't come tomorrow!

       Thinking of something, he asked again: "Does your pancake have a name? Jinji's is called shortbread."

      Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Wife cake."

      Scholar: "???"

      ...

      The dim sum sold more smoothly than expected. In less than half an hour, all 100 pancakes were sold out.

      If you go to the market, you can't sell it so fast.

      After all, her price is high, and people who go to the market may not be willing to pay ten copper coins for a small snack.

      Of course, Jin Kee's customers are not short of money. If she just had a lower price than Jin Kee, there wouldn't be so many people coming to buy it.

      In addition, she has a halo of saving lives, which also gives the guests a lot of trust.

      The last is a little gimmick—the name of the shortbread.

      Wife cake, so novel.

      Limited by the cooking tools, the taste of the wife cake she made is still very different from the wife cake in the previous life.

       However, for the ancients who have not eaten various preservatives and additives, the taste of this shortbread is already very wonderful.

       When closing the stall, Su Ergou smiled cheaply: "Sister, guess how many copper coins we sold today?"

       Good morning, is there a cutie who follows the article?Take a bubble.
