"We need to treat foreign guests preferentially. You brought so many things, are you planning to come in and set up a stall? Come on, we won't let you set up a stall inside." Hong Armband asked.

This is the current trend. People like to treat foreign guests preferentially, but they are very strict with their own people.

Before Yuan Nier could announce the name of Section Chief Dai, the other party had already seen them and ran over hurriedly, "Are you here?"

"Yes, are there any booths? I see they are full on both sides of the road outside."

"Yes, I have reserved one just for you."

Section Chief Dai said so. The two red sleeves looked at each other and felt shameless. They didn't dare to stop them anymore and moved out of the way.

Section Chief Dai not only reserved a booth for Yuan Ni, but the location of the booth was pretty good, right between the outer courtyard and the middle courtyard.

Yuan Nier took out the grasshopper gourd, the abacus, the flower insoles and the flower buns and arranged them in sequence.

Section Chief Dai looked at the abacus curiously, "What is this? It looks like an abacus, why is it round?"

The sleeve arithmetic is made of wood. Yuan Ni put it on her arm and demonstrated it to Section Chief Dai on the spot. "It has the same function as the abacus."

"Not bad, not bad. This thing is very unique." Section Chief Dai nodded with satisfaction and felt that it was worthwhile to leave a booth for Yuan Ni. After all, this is a folk custom expo, not a different temple fair. It must have some characteristics.

He took out the notice board he had prepared a long time ago and placed it next to the Grasshopper Gourd. The notice board had content written long ago, specifically introducing the origin and inheritance of the Grasshopper Gourd.

"Put this up first, and then I'll write an introduction to the sleeve." Section Chief Dai was quite serious.

As soon as Section Chief Dai left, Yuan Ni's small stall was crowded with people. Some people were looking at the grasshopper gourd, and more people were looking at the flower steamed buns, asking if they could eat them and at what price?

This was grandma's home court. The old man was very calm and said, "Shou Tao has bean paste filling, which costs 20 cents each. Tiger buns also cost 20 cents, but there is no filling."

Someone immediately took out money to buy them, "Give me one of each."

"Comrade, do you still have this longevity peach? My old man's birthday is tomorrow, can you make me a big one?"

Mrs. Ding immediately took out a small notebook and said, "It can be customized. How many kilograms of longevity peaches do you want to customize?"

The old ladies still have rules when it comes to doing things. Before setting up the stall, they had discussed the price of the steamed buns and made it clear how to customize the rules.

The golden-haired foreigner seemed to be very interested in their stall. He came over and bought a tiger steamed bun, and then asked about the grasshopper gourd.

This man knew a little Chinese, so Gu Chao introduced it to him as simply as possible, "This is the gourd of an emperor in the Qing Dynasty, used to raise grasshoppers."

It took a little effort to explain the grasshopper, mainly because it was winter, and the insects would have been frozen to death. If it were summer, there would be grasshoppers chirping everywhere.

The golden-haired foreigner finally understood what the Grasshopper Gourd was, "Oh, this thing is very interesting. How much does it cost?"

"Two thousand yuan each, three thousand yuan a pair." Yuan Ni said, pushing the gold-inlaid gourd forward.

The golden-haired foreigner scratched his head and said that he was willing to spend two thousand yuan to buy a gold-inlaid gourd because the gourd was inlaid with metal and the color was not so monotonous.

Yuanni meant a pair of three thousand yuan. A good original gourd would cost two thousand, and a gold-mounted gourd would only cost one thousand. But if the golden-haired foreigner is willing to buy it for two thousand, then let him.

The golden-haired foreigner happily walked away with the gold-encrusted gourd. He felt that this souvenir was worth it.

By noon, all of my aunt's handmade insoles had been sold out, and Mrs. Ding had received a lot of orders, mainly for tiger steamed buns and longevity peaches.

"Director Ding has already ordered several hundred kilograms. We can't steam that much, so we won't accept subsequent orders." Grandma reminded.

Mrs. Ding smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect that steaming steamed buns could make so much money."

The steamed buns are about volume, while the tiger steamed buns and Shoutao also have handicrafts, so they are more profitable.

The most indispensable thing in this place is food. Gu Chao brought several bowls of vinegar powder cold skin. Everyone guarded the stall and took a simple bite.

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, fewer and fewer people came, and Yuanni was ready to close the stall.

Before closing the stall, she said hello to Section Chief Dai and paid the management fee at the same time.

Section Chief Dai sighed regretfully, "I didn't expect so many people to come. The leaders at the top also said that this format is good. If I had known, it should have been held for three days."

Yuan Ni smiled and said nothing, it will definitely become more and more lively in the future. Although it only lasted for one day, she sold a gold-inlaid gourd and earned back ten times the cost.

The eldest aunt did not go out with the stall, but was waiting at home. When she saw the big guy coming back, she quickly asked, "How is the business? Can the buns be sold?"

Grandma showed her the steamed bun basket, "It's all empty, and I ordered several hundred kilograms of it. After a short rest, I'll boil water and noodles to prepare the steamed buns."

Old Mrs. Ding took her eldest aunt aside to settle the accounts, "A pair of insoles cost 50 cents, and you gave me a total of twenty pairs..."

The eldest aunt was very happy when she got the money. She didn't know when she would get such an opportunity again. Anyway, she just spent some time waiting for her to be free. She could also knit some scarves and socks and put them away, in case she could sell them?

We have all gained something today, and the happiest ones are a few old ladies. They didn’t expect that the Huamo business would be so popular, and they would order so many.

If they can finish it at the agreed time, they can make a small fortune just from the steamed buns. This year is going to be a big year.

The days a year ago were busy, cleaning the house, cleaning the windows, cleaning the stove, frying tofu, and stewing elbows. Every day there was a different fragrance coming out of the house.

The corners of the mouths of Mao Dan Gou Dan and several other children were oily.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, all the orders were finally cleared. Mrs. Ding took a small book to calculate the accounts for everyone. Each of the several old sisters made twenty or thirty.

After dividing the money, grandma wanted to stay with Mrs. Ding for dinner. Mrs. Ding shook her head and declined, "Didn't Xiaobing like a pair of white sneakers? I never had the spare money to buy them. Now that I have money, I have to buy them for my child quickly. "

Mrs. Ding left, and grandma thought about the people outside again.

"It's time for your uncle to come back, right?" Grandma said to Yuanni.

"Wait a little longer, maybe they will arrive later."

It's almost here in terms of time, but it's the Spring Festival travel season now, and no one can guarantee to be at the right place on time.

The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were already preparing for the move. They burned the stove in the new house early in the morning, so that they could move in at any time when there was heat in the house.

At noon, we simply ate some stewed vegetables and pasted pancakes, and in the afternoon everyone sat down to make dumplings.

The eldest aunt talked about her shift change, "From the first to the fifth day of junior high school, you get three times the salary. There are so many people rushing to be on duty. I only got one day on the fourth day of junior high school, and I got the one on August 1st. The fifth day of the lunar month."

"That's alright. At least we've got a day ahead of us."

Normally, you only get one day's pay per day, but during the New Year holidays, you get three days' pay per day. Everyone thinks it's more cost-effective to go on duty.

While the conversation was getting lively, the gate to the yard was pushed open, and the uncle and his party finally came back despite the wind and snow.
