Chapter Nineteen
Mingxiu originally meant the same thing, and he became even happier when he saw the old lady joking like this.
After a few words of refusal, she finally accepted the money, but it was at the price of three pieces for one penny.
This is already very good. This fruit costs no money and is not grown by oneself. You can go to the mountains to pick it. It just takes a little time and effort. Mingfu thinks it is good that this little effort is worth a penny.
The old woman closed the stall and went home. Ming's mother looked at Mingxiu with some disapproval, "They are all picked from the mountains at home. They are not worth much money. Why do you bother to charge money?"
"Mom, we came to town to do business."
It's not like doing good deeds. It's okay to do something to let others take advantage of once. If it continues like this, the old woman will probably treat them as soft persimmons.
After finally leaving the bumpkin village, Mingxiu didn't want the reputation of being a soft persimmon to follow her family forever.
A small disadvantage is a blessing, but that only comes when one can have food and clothing at home.
Ming's mother was about to say something, but Ming's father stopped her and said, "You can't just ignore your own family just because you chatted with others, right?"
If this is the case, if every customer who comes to their stall chats with her for a long time, wouldn't it mean that all the stalls will be sent away?
There is no such truth.
Ming's mother sighed secretly, saying nothing more.
"Sister-in-law, what are these?"
Although their location was not good, the surrounding vendors were gradually closing up their stalls and going home. They had not opened yet, so they couldn't help but start to attract people's attention, and soon people came up with curiosity to ask.
After a rough inspection, he found that apart from a few things he knew, most of the things on the stall were unfamiliar to him. This man's curiosity became even more intense.
Mingxiu smiled and explained again, especially the apples that Dr. Zou had seen and said were good.
The people who were paying close attention to this place subconsciously felt that all the things in this stall had been seen by Dr. Zou and were not poisonous. Everyone in the town knew about Dr. Zou's skills, so more and more people were watching.
Mingxiu took out the knife he had prepared earlier and divided the apples, tomatoes and the like into several small pieces for them to taste.
"We found most of these in the mountains. We tasted them quite well, so we thought of bringing them out for you to taste. If you think they are good, you can buy them and write them back for your family to try.
, it’s not expensive either way.”
Seeing that these are free to taste, some people soon couldn't help but come forward.
Even men who don't like sweets will find these fruits sweet and sour, fresh and delicious.
"Since we have to go up the mountain to collect it, why do we need more silver? Aren't the mountains all owned by the public?"
As soon as this statement came out, someone quickly refuted it.
"The fruits we eat at home are all grown in the mountains. Why do you still pay for them?"
People who say this just want to take advantage, and taking advantage is human nature, but the people in the town live a good life, and most people still want to save face, not to mention they don't lack these three melons and two dates. If
If the price offered by Mingxiu is not high.
"How can it be the same...the restaurants in the town still have costs, and my vegetables are all grown at home, so how can it be the same?"
Mingxiu didn't care what these people said. She smiled and said, "These things are not available at the foot of the mountain. If they are common wild vegetables and fruits, we are embarrassed to sell them. Most of them are given to familiar people. As for these
The ones we brought here are only found in the mountains."
As soon as this statement came out, the person who was clamoring for Mingxiu not to accept the money had nothing to say.
It's nice to plant things from your own land, but there's a price to go to pick wild fruits in the mountains. It's not much safer than hunting tigers with your life. He risked his life to get something, and he kept saying that he didn't have to spend money, so why not?
"Little girl, don't pay attention to this bastard. How can you sell these fruits? I'll buy some for my kids at home to try."
"These fruits are of all kinds. They cost two for a penny. Today is the first time my house has opened. Thank you for taking care of me. It's getting late. I'll give you three for a penny to take back and make snacks for your children."
OK."
The price of three pieces for one penny is not only not expensive, it can even be said to be the price of cabbage. People who go shopping in the town are not short of this little money. They quickly divide the fruits on the stall and leave some.
A lot of vegetable mushrooms have fallen.
Although people in the town live a better life than in the village, even non-professionals don't know how to distinguish whether fungi are poisonous or not. Although Mingxiu assured that these things are not poisonous, looking at Mingxiu's tender appearance,
The customers kept saying they believed her, but few actually bought her.
However, there were a lot of people coming and going here, and soon someone spread the news that someone in the town had set up a stall selling fresh fruits, vegetables and fungi.
Restaurants and teahouses have always been the most well-informed places. Naturally, the restaurant where Mingxiu sold mushrooms earlier also heard the news, and the shopkeeper rushed to the Mingjia stall without stopping.
At this time, Mingxiu was planning to pack her things and go back. Although the mushrooms were not sold, she had figured out the preferences of the people in the town, so she would bring less mushrooms and more fruits when she returned.
"Little girl, it's really you."
Hearing the call, Mingxiu looked up.
"Shopkeeper Xu."
This person was the shopkeeper who kept lowering prices. Mingxiu's attitude towards him could not be said to be disgusting, but he was definitely not happy either.
Being disliked by a little girl, shopkeeper Xu looked a little ugly, but he still suppressed the displeasure in his heart and smiled at Mingxiu: "Why haven't you come to deliver mushrooms recently? I haven't confiscated other people's mushrooms in the past few days, so I just waited.
and yours."
Mingxiu secretly laughed in her heart. As far as she knew, except for a few wealthy households in the town, no one ate mushrooms at all. There was not a big market, and naturally there were not many mushroom farmers. Even before she came, except for some people from
Due to the reselling brought from far away, there are not many fungi circulating in the town at all.
Now, shopkeeper Xu's words are probably just trying to fool a fool.
Shopkeeper Xu was also secretly bitter in his heart. If he had known that he would have lowered Mingxiu’s price so much, many people had come to deliver fungi recently, which was good, but those fungi were either damaged and unusable, or most of them were poisonous.
Yes, those people are not as easy to talk to as Mingxiu.
Recently, the restaurant has been troubled by those people, but even so, he still failed to meet the demands of those rich people who said they wanted to eat mushrooms.
