What made Jiang Yi feel even more incredible was that Boss Tu enthusiastically pulled Gu Ermiao over to his stall and said:

"Madam and Young Master, please come over and take a look. I sorted things out after listening to your suggestions last time, and I didn't expect it to be so useful! Not only are people who come now choosing things faster, they're also buying more than usual! I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Lin Qing signaled to Jiang Yi not to worry, looking at his tidy stall, and said, "Listen to the advice and eat your fill. You deserve to make money, boss!"

Boss Tu laughed awkwardly a few times, rubbing his hands continuously, trying his best to hide his calculations.

"Ahem, Madam, I remember you said the other day that if I tried the advice you gave me, would you give me another idea to help me make more money..."

Seeing Lin Qing looking at him leisurely, Boss Tu hurriedly promised:

"Don't worry, I, Old Hu, am not someone who takes advantage of others for nothing!"

Then, Boss Tu seemed to have made an extremely painful decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, when you and the young master come to buy things from me, I will definitely sell them to you at the cheapest price!"

Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer.

Boss Tu's face flushed at his mockery, and he hurriedly explained:

"Please forgive me, ma'am. It's not that I'm reluctant to give you more. To be honest, not many people can afford to buy fruit these days, and my purchase price is high. After deducting the cost and stall fees, all I can earn is hard-earned money!"

Before Boss Tu could finish his words, he was pulled aside. Liu, with a look of disgust on her face, walked to the front and said angrily:

"Madam, this is all nonsense. Don't listen to him! Forgive me, my husband is really stingy! If you can give us some advice, I will pack every fruit for you today and send it back to you if there are any new ones in the future. Don't be disgusted. Just think of it as me giving it to the children to try!"

Lin Qing was not greedy for their thank-you gifts, and hurriedly accepted them with a smile, praising them: "Boss Tu, you really married a good wife!"

Boss Tu let out a silly laugh.

"She just doesn't mind my stupidity! You don't know, Ruyan was the most beautiful girl in our town back then. Many people wanted to marry her, but she still resolutely married a poor boy like me and lived through hard times with me..."

Boss Tu couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes as he spoke. Mrs. Liu tugged at his sleeve, half angrily and half shyly.

"Why are you saying all this? Madam, it seems you have something important to attend to. We won't delay any longer. Just come and give us some pointers when you have time. Don't forget our request!"

After saying that, he stuffed a silver ingot into Lin Qing's hand.

Lin Qing hurriedly stopped her hand: "The thank you gift you just promised is enough. If you continue to be so reserved, I won't help you."

When Boss Tu heard that she had agreed, he hurriedly took out a sack to fill with fruit for Lin Qing. Liu grabbed his hand and whispered, "Fool, don't you see the Madam is looking at you? If you send her away now, aren't you driving away the God of Wealth?!"

"Oh oh oh."

Boss Tu finally reacted and stood aside with his hands in his pockets waiting for Lin Qing's reply.

Lin Qing originally didn't want to spend too much time here, but when he thought that Er Miao was going to be an apprentice in the candied fruit shop, he should pave the way for him.

So she tried hard to recall the fruit shop from her time, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke slowly.

"I don't know how much you buy your fruit at, Boss Tu, but I imagine there's a mix of high and low prices. But the cheapest ones aren't the ones that sell the fastest. Those that are left over eventually go bad, right?"

Boss Tu's eyes lit up, and he squeezed out from behind Liu in excitement, almost screaming:

"Oh, what did I say? I knew I wasn't asking the wrong person! Madam, you really saw the problem right away!"

At first, Jiang Yi was a little disgusted with the stingy Boss Tu, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought of the candied fruit shop as the same, and hurriedly moved closer to learn from it.

Lin Qing continued, "Boss Tu, you've been in business for quite some time. You must know exactly what you want to sell and what makes the most money. Changing the display is only a temporary solution."

Boss Tu took a deep breath and said rather embarrassedly, "Madam, to be honest, I've thought about what you said, but nothing has come to fruition. What I want to sell most are naturally the expensive ones, but the ones that make the most money are those that sell at a low profit but in high volumes. This is really a dilemma..."

Lin Qing saw that after Boss Tu listened to Er Miao's advice, the items were arranged much more neatly, but although they were neat, they lacked a certain pattern.

"Boss, I'm just saying this casually. It's up to you whether you listen or not. Since you've chosen to set up a stall at the city gate instead of opening a store, it means you're only pursuing profit right now.

"So, you should now put the most popular fruits in the most conspicuous places, together with the colorful, cheap ones that people want to buy."

As Boss Tu listened and thought, he felt that Lin Qing was more and more powerful.

“Also, even if it’s the same fruit, the price will be different depending on appearance, taste, etc., right? You can separate them, but display them side by side or in a row.

"If possible, Boss Tu, you could even clearly mark the prices and select a few for tasting, so that everyone can directly see that you get what you pay for."

"Oh~!"

Boss Tu was so happy when he heard Lin Qing's proposal that he burst into tears and sighed repeatedly:

“People who come to buy fruit will definitely not be too concerned about the money. If they can pick good ones to save face, they will definitely not pick bad ones!

"Oh, ma'am, you are really amazing! It's a good thing you are not a businessman, otherwise no matter what you sell, this street would not be your rival!

"It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier, otherwise I would have been rich!"

Jiang Yi listened and nodded repeatedly.

That's right!

If this lady could really set up a stall to sell breakfast, she would probably attract everyone in the town!

But what he didn't expect was that his wife not only had good cooking skills, but could also give Boss Tu advice!

Now that Junior Brother Ermiao has gone to their candied fruit shop, Madam will definitely love him as well.

If Madam could also give their preserves shop some advice, wouldn't Master be so far ahead?!

Maybe it can even become a tribute to the court!

Then we’ll see if Yang’s Preserved Fruit Shop dares to give them a hard time!

Lin Tingting thought that Boss Tu's praise was a bit excessive, and hurriedly complimented him a few times. She turned around and saw that Liu had already started to organize it according to her instructions, and without saying anything, she stuffed a cloth bag into her arms.

"Madam, these are my thank you gifts to you! Please don't refuse them. I deliberately chose some that look ugly and unsaleable. Please don't be disgusted by them!"

Lin Qing looked at the bag full of fruits and argued with Liu, but naturally ended up losing in the end.
