When the cousin saw that Xia Mo frowned slightly when he was looked at by him, and even the couple next to him showed vigilance in their eyes, he immediately came to his senses and turned his head to look at Li Jingran. He found that he was still in a daze, so he quickly extended his elbow to nudge him.

My cousin, if you keep looking at me like this, people will think you are a hypocritical scoundrel.

Li Jingran, who was reminded by his cousin, also realized that they were too abrupt, so he pretended to be indifferent and looked away. After glancing around the shop, he said to the clerk in front of him: "Do you have any dried fruit slices for sale?

"Yes, yes. Please follow me, gentlemen." The waiter smiled and turned to walk in the direction of Xia Mo.

Yes, dried fruit chips are also snacks.

Seeing this, Li Jingran thought to himself what a coincidence. He said "hmm" lightly and walked over with his cousin.

When Xia Mo saw that the two of them were no longer staring at him strangely, he turned around and took a closer look at the snacks.

You really don’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking to see that sweet snacks are so expensive. That’s really great, haha!

Xia Mo felt that he saw hope. He was not bragging, the malt sugar he made was definitely not worse than other snacks. Although he was not the only one who knew the sugar-making technology, he believed that there should not be many people who knew it, otherwise they would not be sold at such a high price.

Thinking of this, Xia Mo raised his lips, and his eyes sparkled. Hehe, it seems that it is time for him to realize his little dream.

Xia Mo raised his sparkling eyes as he thought about it. He coughed twice and then said to the waiter who was waiting patiently, "Brother, I actually want to sell something. Can you introduce me to your shopkeeper?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment. What? Selling things? Did he hear it right? Then he looked up and down at Xia Mo and saw that he had nothing but a paper bag in his hand.

Are you sure this isn't the wrong place?

The clerk hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "Sir, you may have come to the wrong place. This is a grocery store, not a pawnshop. If you want to pawn something, you can go straight along this street, and there is a pawnshop there."

Xia Mo smiled and shook his head, "I didn't go wrong, I just wanted to ask your shopkeeper if he would accept maltose."

"Maltose?" What is that?

The guy had never heard of this thing, so he looked at Xia Mo with even more confusion. Even Li Jingran and others who had been eavesdropping on the side couldn't help but look over with curiosity.

Seeing that the uncle was stunned, Tiedan said before Xia Mo could speak: "Uncle, it's very sweet and fragrant candy!"

When Qi and Liu Yong saw their son suddenly interrupt them, they both lowered their heads and looked at Tiedan with serious eyes, telling him not to talk too much, fearing that he might say something wrong and ruin Ze Ge'er's good thing.

Seeing this, Xia Mo smiled at them, "It's okay, Tiedan is right." He raised his hand and stroked Tiedan's little head, then said to the clerk, "Yes, what I want to sell is candy, can you make an exception for me, brother?"

"So it really is candy." The guy showed an expression of seeing that.

However, even if the other party wanted to sell candy, he didn't dare to go to the shopkeeper rashly. After all, the shopkeeper seemed to be in a bad mood these two days. So he looked embarrassed and couldn't make a decision, "This..."

Li Jingran looked for a long time, and finally saw this as a good opportunity to strike up a conversation, so he walked towards Xia Mo.

Then he said sincerely: "My dear, you want to sell maltose? Can you show me the maltose? My cousin likes to eat sweet things very much. If it suits you, I would like to buy some. Right, Aji."

Li Jingran said as he looked at his cousin, who nodded immediately after receiving the signal, "Yeah, right, right, so can you show it to us?"

Li Jingran: "..."

What kind of reaction is this? He might as well not ask.

Xia Mo turned his head, glanced at them indifferently, and could not help complaining: My dear, you could have been a little more perfunctory.

As for the other people present, they were all surprised after hearing what Li Jingran and the young master said. After all, these two people were obviously rich or noble, and they were actually interested in a handmade snack from an ordinary person.

So the next moment, their eyes fell on Xia Mo again, to see how he would respond.

Xia Mo ignored everyone's gazes. He looked at Li Jingran for a moment and then smiled and said, "Of course."

He is not stupid. Although this person looked at him strangely at first, it did not affect his business.

It would be a waste not to do business that comes to your doorstep. Besides, the other party is obviously a wealthy man who has eaten all kinds of delicacies. If this deal goes through, he will have a good reputation when he sells maltose in the future.

So he turned around and handed the paper bag to Qi, "Sister-in-law, please help me hold it while I untie the rope."

"Okay." Qi responded and quickly stretched out her hands to hold the paper bag.

Xia Mo's hands were nimble, and he untied the rope in a short while and opened the paper bag. All of a sudden, small white squares came into everyone's sight.

The clerk in the grocery store took a look and immediately felt that the malt sugar looked a bit bland. Fortunately, he did not immediately agree to let the young man go to find Manager Hong, otherwise he would probably get scolded.

"This is malt sugar. Sir, you can try it first. If you think it's ok, we can talk about the price." Xia Mo looked at Li Jingran and said.

"Okay." Li Jingran agreed immediately. He stretched out his fingers, pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth.

In fact, his opinion on these mediocre maltose was similar to those guys, but when the sweet malt aroma exploded on his taste buds, he realized that he had made a mistake.

"Very good, I want them all." Li Jingran said truthfully.

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Xia Mo didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Okay, these maltose are made of liquid sugar, and the cost is not low. The price is the same as those white sugar, 20 coins per liang. But this is my first time doing business, 15 coins per liang will be enough."

Li Jingran nodded and had no objection.

Except for the indifferent young master, everyone else thought that the maltose could not be sold. They were stunned by the rapid development trend. This... it was sold already? And it was still 15 cents per ounce!

Seeing this, Xia Mo immediately rewrapped the maltose, then smiled and looked at the guy who was still in a daze, "Brother, can you help me weigh it?"

"Oh...oh, sure." The young man took the paper bag awkwardly, turned around and helped them weigh it, "Sir, the total is one catty and two ounces."

Xia Mo smiled and thanked him, then handed the paper bag to Li Jingran, "Sir, the total is 270 coins."

Li Jingran was surprised when he heard this, and then he nodded and said "Okay."
