"This is five cents a bag."

Su He had already made preparations yesterday and took Su Chi to pick a lot of tung oil tree leaves at the foot of the mountain.

The Su family can't afford oil-proof paper now, so Su He came up with this idea.

When everyone saw the tung oil tree leaves that Su He was pointing at, they couldn't help but be shocked. It wasn't expensive, but it was definitely not cheap either.

Although five cents sounds affordable, there is not much in this bag.

Su Zhiyan, who was standing by, was slightly stunned when he heard Su He say five cents for a bag. He initially thought it was only sold for two cents. These wild fruits were picked from the mountains, so the brown sugar used was quite expensive.

What's more, most of the people coming to the market here are from the surrounding villages and towns. I'm afraid that few people will spend this money to buy some snacks to take back. I don't know if this business can be successful today.

Su He also anticipated everyone's reaction, smiled slightly, and explained in detail to the people in front of him:

"This is really not expensive. It has brown sugar in it, which is very valuable."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, this is not an ordinary snack. It is sour and sweet. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very appetizing. If you eat too much and have bloating on weekdays, it is good to eat some to help digestion."

When the audience heard this, they thought, this is true. Brown sugar is added here, which is a good thing. Moreover, the taste is really good, sour and sweet. The children at home will definitely like it.

The eldest sister standing in the innermost part secretly thought about her daughter who didn't like to eat recently. She gritted her teeth, pointed two fingers at Su He, and said loudly:

"Give me two packs, and let my daughter try it. She will definitely like it."

Hearing what her elder sister said, Su He smiled and nodded at her, quickly wrapped two bags of fruit rolls, handed them to her, and said sweetly,

"Your daughter is so lucky to have a mother like you who always cares about her."

Sure enough, the elder sister who took the dried fruits kept smiling when she heard Su He's words. She quickly took out ten cents and handed them to Su He. She was very happy to buy the dried fruits.

Seeing the older sister in front of them buy two packs for her daughter, many people who had just tasted the fruit rolls also took out money and rushed to say that they wanted to bring some back home for their families to try.

"Give me two packs too."

"I have a big family, so I want four packs."

"This is sweet and sour. My little son will definitely like it if I bring it back. I have to have some too."

Seeing that many people wanted to buy some to take back, Su He was overwhelmed and gently pulled Su Zhiyan who was still absent-minded.

"Uncle, I'll pack it and you collect the money."

Su Zhiyan came back to his senses at this time, nodded hurriedly, and started to work with Su He.

After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed. Su He gently pounded his sore arms, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He looked at the basket that was still half full of dried fruits, and couldn't help but smile.

Today is the first time I came out to sell dried fruits. Being able to sell so much is already a very good start.

Originally Su He was worried that the fruits would not be easy to sell, but then he thought that there were still a lot of wild fruits left in the mountains. It seemed that he could pick them all after returning, dry them and sell them in the town.

Soon it was noon, and there were fewer and fewer people in the market. Su He looked at the sky and said to Su Zhiyan:

"Uncle, where do the more affluent families in this town live?"

Su Zhiyan hadn't reacted yet, thinking that Su He was just asking out of boredom. After thinking for a while, he said softly:

"In Yongqing Lane, most of the wealthy families in the town are located there."

"Yongqing Lane..."

Su He muttered to himself and looked around the market. If he continued to set up his stall here, he estimated that there wouldn't be many people around.

"Let's pack up and go to Yongqing Lane."

After saying this, without waiting for Su Zhiyan to react, Su He stood up and began to pack up, planning to go to Yongqing Lane to take a look.

"What are you going to do there?"

Although Su Zhiyan didn't know what Su He was planning, when he saw Su He packing her things, he quickly stood up and helped.

"There aren't many people in the market anymore. Let's go to Yongqing Lane and try."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Go to the back door."

There were many things about Su He today that shocked Su Zhiyan. He even said that he wanted to go to Yongqing Lane to sell this dried fruit.

Su Zhiyan was a little nervous. When he saw Su He stand up and walk quickly out of the market, he didn't have time to think too much and just followed him.

Su Zhiyan took Su He across two streets and arrived at Yongqing Lane.

Su He looked at the alley which was different from other places he had just passed by in the town, and secretly sighed in his heart that it was worthy of being the place where the wealthy families in the town lived. Even the alley at the back door seemed spacious, grand and clean.

Su He walked up and knocked on the back of the first house. After a while, she saw the door open and a woman stuck her head out to take a look outside.

Su He quickly forced a smile and smiled softly at the old woman.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I made some dried fruits at home. I wanted to ask if you need any in your house?"

After saying that, Su He packed a bag and handed it to the maid at the door.

"This is called a fruit roll. It's made with fruit and brown sugar. It's sour and sweet and very appetizing. Try it."

At first, when the gatekeeper heard that the person was there to sell things, she subconsciously wanted to chase her away. However, when she saw the girl in front of her, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and was smiling very sweetly. She was also very tactful and handed over a bag of dried fruits.

As the saying goes: Don't hit a smiling person, and the words that come to your lips are swallowed down instantly.

The gatekeeper took Su He's fruit roll, opened the wrapping leaves, and then smelled a pleasant fruit fragrance.

Hearing Su He looking at her with sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but reach out and took a piece, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Su He waited quietly by the side without saying a word, until the old woman ate two pieces in a row, then she smiled and said,

"How about it? I also put brown sugar in it. It tastes sour and sweet. It's very appetizing if you have no appetite in hot weather."

The gatekeeper nodded continuously when she heard it. It tasted really good. She couldn't help but eat several pieces.

"How do you sell this? It tastes pretty good."

Hearing the price inquiry, Su He did not show it on his face and responded softly: "This is five cents a bag."

Although all the families here are wealthy, Su He still sells at the same price as at the market.

Sifang Town is not big. If you go out and ask around, you will know that she has also set up a stall in the market. She will still come to sell these fruit rolls in the future, and she can't ruin her reputation.

After hearing this, the gatekeeper thought the price was reasonable. Since brown sugar was added to the fruit, the price was indeed not expensive.

"Give me two packs, then."

Hearing the gatekeeper asking for two bags, Su He agreed straightforwardly, turned around and asked Su Zhiyan to put down the backpack, then packed two bags and handed them to the gatekeeper.
