Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 116: Sky-High Price Cookies
"This... little girl, it tastes really good to me, can you make it cheaper? I want to buy some for my kids to try!"
Seeing the old lady bargaining, the people around her started to make a fuss.
"Yes, little girl, please make it cheaper so that we can all buy some to try! We can't afford it because it's so expensive, and what's the point of you not being able to sell it?"
Once there is a first, there will be a second. After someone started bargaining with the old lady, those who had tasted it came forward to bargain.
There is inevitably some ill intention in it, and it is expressed bluntly.
"That's right, isn't it just cakes? A pound costs one hundred coins, why don't you just go and rob them? How much does a month's work in a restaurant earn? You're really brave to ask for it!"
"That's right. My boss only earns 800 wen a month, but that's enough to buy eight kilograms of biscuits. Even though they taste good, they're useless if you can't afford them!"
Everyone started talking at once. Yang Ruchuan was extremely worried and kept pulling his cousin. He had already covered the biscuits with the lids in case someone came up and snatched them away.
Su Qiuyi turned around and gave her cousin a reassuring look, then slowly spread out her hands and spoke.
"The main thing is that the ingredients of these biscuits are exquisite, and the method is locked. I can't make too many in a day! And I can't earn much from the 100 coins per pound! As the saying goes, people are divided into different classes, and the same is true for pastries! If it is a steamed bun made with white flour and water, one coin is its price! But my biscuits are different! From kneading the dough to the biscuits coming out of the oven, there are many processes involved! The ingredients are exquisite, the amount is limited, and the cooking is complicated! It is worth the price!
I can't pay money just to make it affordable for you! I'm just an ordinary person, and I rely on this business to make a living! Ladies, aunts, brothers, uncles, and uncles! Please forgive me!"
The words were spoken politely and in a very kind tone, but he also expressed his attitude that he had no worries about selling the products.
She originally planned to go for the high-end route, so how could she possibly make small profits but quick turnover?
Isn't it tiring to make cookies? She just wanted to find a way to clean up the money in her plane trading platform so that she could spend money openly and enjoy it. She didn't want to make money by mass-producing cookies.
"Good! You're right! People are divided into different classes, and cakes are also divided into ordinary and precious ones! Weigh five pounds for me!"
As Su Qiuyi finished his words, a male voice rang out, followed by applause, and the crowd around made way for him.
Su Qiuyi saw a young man in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe walk into her sight.
He has a jade crown on his head and a face as beautiful as a peach or plum. If you only look at his face without considering his clothes, you might mistake him for a woman.
Following behind him was a boy of similar age dressed as a page boy. After approaching Su Qiuyi, he took out a piece of silver from his coin bag and handed it to Su Qiuyi.
"Okay! I'll weigh it for you right away! Right away!"
Su Qiuyi received her first business, which was a large quantity of five kilograms. It gave her a good start. She was so excited that she immediately spread out the oil paper and started wrapping the biscuits.
She packed five biscuits, each weighing one pound, and then packed another half pound or so and handed them to the little servant boy.
"You bought a lot, so I'll give you more. It's a good start! Please come more often! Come back after you've enjoyed your meal!" As he said this, he did not forget to give people the change.
"More girls!" The little servant boy took the biscuits, thanked politely, and then walked back behind his master.
The generosity of this young man also shut up those who were bargaining just now.
They suddenly realized that even though the food was expensive, there were still people who could afford it.
It seems that the little girl has no intention of bargaining.
So if you can afford it, just buy it when you see someone else buying it.
Those who couldn’t afford it stopped talking and left, and those who watched kept silent.
Yang Ruchuan looked at such a high price and saw that so many items were sold at once. Moreover, the people who had almost eaten them during the bargaining just now were silent. He was shocked in his heart.
Suddenly I began to feel heartbroken.
I seem to have eaten more than a pound in total.
This is all silver! Pure silver.
Just as the master and servant were about to turn around and leave, a young man's voice sounded behind them.
"Hey, Brother Yan, I didn't know when you started liking this sweet thing?"
While Su Qiuyi was paying attention to the sound, he also listened a few times.
As the two of them interacted, there was actually a smell of tension spreading.
From their conversation, we learned that they were both students of Qinghe Academy. Maybe they had some grudge against each other. Seeing the young man called Master Yan bought so many biscuits, the one who came over behind started to compare with him. After arguing for a while, he immediately came over and took out one or two taels of silver and handed it to Su Qiuyi.
"Give me ten pounds!"
"Okay, okay, sir, I'll install it for you right away!" Su Qiuyi subconsciously wiped her hands on her dress before taking the silver.
Then I found that the greaseproof paper was a bit small, and one piece could wrap a pound of biscuits.
The two of them got busy.
These two are big guys. If they don't pack it up quickly, who knows whether they will keep this person or not.
"Brother Mo, take your time! I'll go up first!"
Yan Chenyang didn't feel anything about Mo Jincheng's provocation and comparison. He just smiled faintly and left with his servant.
Mo Jincheng was left urging Su Qiuyi to pack the biscuits quickly.
He didn't want Yan Chenyang to feel proud in front of his classmates, so he wanted to take the dry biscuit over first.
These two people are the two young masters of Qinghe Academy.
The Yan family is a royal merchant family. Although Yan Chenyang is only a side branch, it is also a well-known large merchant family in Xiangling County.
Mo Jincheng is also the son of the county magistrate. Although he is the second son, he is also the legitimate son.
Because Qinghe Academy was famous, the two were sent to this small town by their families to study. Mo Jincheng, as the son of a county magistrate, did not have the financial resources of Yan Chenyang, but he was very competitive and always targeted and compared himself with Yan Chenyang.
Those classmates were divided into two groups, and there would be some small disturbances in the academy from time to time.
"Here it comes, sir. Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" Su Qiuyi accompanied him carefully, and his men packed the things quickly.
She has already made up her mind that when she sets up her stall tomorrow, she will have to pack everything up before going out.
Moreover, maybe if I move my stall near the academy, the products might sell better.
Now it seems that only two students came to buy and took away 15 kilograms, while all the remaining items added up were less than 5 kilograms.
She had chosen the wrong entrance to the teahouse.
Similarly, Su Qiuyi gave Mo Jincheng half a pound of biscuits extra and sent him away in a kind voice.
Yang Ruchuan felt like he was dreaming when he got nearly two taels of silver.
"Yiyi, pinch me! Am I dreaming? How long have we been out here? And we've earned so much?"
He didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that people around him would hear and suspect that they were making money in an unscrupulous way. So he whispered in Su Qiuyi's ear while packing the cookies.
Su Qiuyi pinched his arm without any hesitation.
He grimaced in pain, and was sure that he was not dreaming.
Grinning all the time.
"You guys who are buying things over there! I'm talking to you guys! Come on! This is the teahouse! Don't cause trouble here!"
