1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"Huaiguo, how are sales today? How many copies did you sell?" Chen Xiao parked his bicycle aside and asked.

Qin Huaiguo patted his bulging trouser pockets proudly.

"We sold 50 copies in one day! Look, brother-in-law."

As he spoke, Qin Huaiguo took out the money he had earned from selling konjac cakes today from his pocket.

"Brother-in-law, here are exactly 10 yuan! Count them if you don't believe me!"

Chen Xiao didn't take it, but pushed it back.

"Take this money first and take out 5 yuan from it as your living expenses for this month."

"After the konjac is sold out, go back and ask your uncle and aunt to dig up some more konjac. Next time, dig more, maybe 500 kilograms first!"

He knew the power of konjac cake and how delicious it was, otherwise he would not have chosen to make this thing.

A modern bag of Konjac Juice contains only 15 grams including the juice and packaging, yet it is sold for 1 yuan a bag, and in some places it is even sold for 2 yuan a bag.

Converted to kilograms, buying a kilogram of konjac will cost dozens of yuan.

However, even though it is so expensive, it cannot resist the love of consumers.

"Huaiguo, how many kilograms of konjac are left at home?"

"Including the bag I'm carrying, it still weighs about 150 kilograms."

"Brother-in-law, at this rate, the remaining konjac noodles will be sold out by tomorrow night." Qin Huaiguo said excitedly.

Selling 2 kilograms of konjac in two days is 200 yuan. How much can you earn in a month?

I dare not even think about it.

If he hadn't been worried about the lack of people on Old Drum Tower Street at night, he would have sold it all night long.

Chen Xiao shook his head.

"No, it's still a bit too slow at this speed."

Qin Huaiguo stared at Chen Xiao with wide eyes.

"Huaiguo, don't go out now. Eat your meal at home later, then carry some konjac and go to the cinema to sell it."

"If I'm not mistaken, the remaining ones will probably be sold out in a few hours!"

Chen Xiao took the bag off Qin Huaiguo's back.

"Brother-in-law, is the cinema really that powerful? They can sell out all the Konjac Juice in less than a few hours?" Qin Huaiguo wondered.

Chen Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You are still young, you don't understand this."

"When you have a date, you'll understand."

If you want to know who makes the most money, it must be the couples who go to the cinema for love.

If your partner wants to eat snacks, would you refuse to buy them because they are too expensive?

Qin Huaiguo blushed.

"Brother-in-law, it's still early. It will take a few years before I can find a partner..."

It can be seen that Qin Huaiguo is also beginning to fall in love and has begun to have fantasies about the opposite sex.

Otherwise I wouldn't blush.

Think of modern young people who start exercising their hands in their teens.

In order to worry that Qinhuai National Studies would be corrupted, Chen Xiao gave a serious reminder.

"Huaiguo, I have to tell you this first. If you dare to wander around the Eight Great Hutongs one day, I'll break your legs!"

The Eight Great Hutongs are known to almost everyone in the entire city and the countryside.

After all, there was a lack of entertainment in that era, and a few grown men would gather together and chat, and they would always talk about the past events of the Eight Great Hutongs.

Qin Huaiguo shook his head frantically.

"Brother-in-law, I promise, I will never go to the Eight Great Hutongs!"

"Huaiguo, follow me and work hard. I will find you a good one in the future. Tell me if you like fat or thin ones, and I will help you find one. I will also help you pay for the three big items."

"But you are still young now, let's talk about it in a few years."

After painting the pie in the sky, Qin Huaiguo became even more excited.

Chen Xiao didn't say anything more. He arranged the matter at the cinema and then rode his bike home.

Qin Huaiguo made a simple meal for himself, and after the meal it was gradually getting dark.

He didn't have time to wash the pots and dishes, and went straight to the entrance of the cinema carrying a big bag of konjac.

Qin Huaiguo took out a bag of konjac from the sack and spread it flat on a piece of clean kraft paper.

"Don't miss this if you're passing by! It's even better than donkey rolls and peach popcorn, and you can try it for free tonight!"

"Freshly cooked mouth-popping. If it doesn't taste good, feel free to come and hit me anytime!"

Qin Huaiguo shouted at the pedestrians at the entrance of the cinema.

These shouts indeed attracted many couples who were preparing to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

A young man with a rough appearance and a bad temper walked over.

"Young man, you just said that if it doesn't taste good, I can beat you up."

He was already in a bad mood today because his girlfriend asked him for a 10 yuan betrothal gift and a sewing machine, but his family simply couldn't afford that much money.

Qin Huaiguo nodded and patted his chest to assure him.

"Yeah, I said, if it doesn't taste good, you're welcome to hit me anytime!"

"Everyone is watching. If I taste it and it really doesn't taste good, everyone has to bear witness to my behavior."

The others nodded in agreement.

in the country, everyone has the habit of watching the excitement, and in a short while, the Qinhuai State was surrounded several times inside and outside.

"Young man, wait for me to give you a good beating. If you still don't like it, I'm welcome to beat you up anytime."

"Today, I will teach you what to say and what not to say!"

The young man bent down, picked up a piece of konjac from the brown paper and put it in his mouth to eat.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, you will be conquered by the refreshing and chewy texture of konjac. Paired with the exclusive sauce, it is both spicy and fresh.

After eating one, he felt unsatisfied and reached out to grab a few more to taste.

Qin Huaiguo smiled when he saw this.

He has been selling konjac noodles all day today, and he has never heard anyone say that it is not delicious.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Qin Huaiguo squatted on the ground and looked up and asked.

"Wait a minute, I haven't tasted what it tastes like yet, let me eat a few more first."

After saying this, the middle-aged man was about to reach out to grab the konjac, but Qin Huaiguo grabbed his wrist.

"If you continue to taste it, my bag of Koukoushuang will be gone."

Chen Xiao once reminded Qin Huaiguo that he can call it "Mokong Shuang" at home, but he must call it "Koukou Shuang" outside.

"Let me try two more!"

"No! I can't let you taste even one. I'm just asking you if it tastes good to you."

"Let me try two more and I'll tell you if they're delicious!"

"No, no, no, absolutely impossible!"

Qin Huaiguo turned his gaze away from the young man and spoke to the people around who were watching the excitement.

"Everyone, you all saw it just now, right? If it really didn't taste good, this brother would have beaten me a long time ago."

"So, my food is really delicious. If you don't believe me, just try it! One free sample per person!"

As soon as Qin Huaiguo finished speaking, the people around him gathered around and pushed the young man out.

The young man wanted to squeeze in to try two more, but unfortunately there were too many people and he couldn't squeeze in at all.

Inside, Qin Huaiguo was surrounded by a group of people. Soon, the konjac cake she had spread on the brown paper was eaten up by everyone.

Qin Huaiguo couldn't stop smiling at this moment.
