At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

However, Gu Ermiao's initial explanation was very logical, but in the end he actually set such a friendly price that it made Lin Qing want to cry. He was so filial that Lin Qing almost wanted to cry.

But Lin Qing also expressed his understanding.

After all, it was the first time for Gu Ermiao to get married, so it was great that he dared to speak out his thoughts loudly. She couldn't be too harsh on him, making the child feel that he was taking the wrong path and discourage his enthusiasm.

So she smiled and said seriously, "Then why don't you let me guess why you set the price like this, Er Miao?

"You should consider that the sour dates are picked for free. We only process them simply, which doesn't take much time. Besides, they only take a day to dry and are ready. So we can't ask for too high a price?"

Gu Ermiao nodded with shining eyes.

My mother is so amazing. It took him a long time to figure this out!

But my mother saw through what I was thinking in the blink of an eye!

Although it may sound a bit naive to say this, my mother is like a worm in his stomach!

Lin Qing pointed to the dazzling array of preserved fruits on the shelf and guided:

"Er Miao, have you ever thought about this? This store is so big, with so many kinds of candied fruits, why doesn't it have sour jujube cake?"

Gu Ermiao had never thought about this problem before, and was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

Gu Sihe, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but interrupt.

"Hey, second brother, you're so stupid! They don't have any for sale here, of course, because they've never seen sour dates here! Even if they did, they wouldn't know how to cook them!"

Gu Sihe didn't care about his second brother's face at all and continued, "Although I can't read, I just heard from my mother that the cheapest preserved fruit here costs fifteen cents a pound!

"Mother made such a delicious meal, something they've never seen before, and you only sold it for eighteen cents. Humph, think about it yourself, are you doing Mother justice?"

Gu Ermiao was very surprised when he heard his brother's unconventional but well-reasoned questioning.

For the first time, he realized that his younger brother had grown up and his ideas were even more comprehensive than his own!

After being taught a lesson, Gu Ermiao was not angry at all. Instead, he put his arm around his brother's shoulders and boasted, "Sihe is really smart! It was my second brother who was careless!"

Gu Sihe puffed out his chest proudly.

"Of course I spend the most time with my mother, so I've learned the most!"

Gu Ermiao ignored his boasting and after a moment's thought, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, how about... changing the price to 20 wen per catty?"

Lin Qing choked.

Although she joked that Er Miao was a good seedling for an unscrupulous businessman, he was still young after all, smart but kind at heart, so she didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price.

Of course this is not a bad thing.

Moreover, for those children who couldn't even walk with five cents in their pockets and who had never eaten any snacks since they were young, twenty cents was no exaggeration to say that it was a sky-high price.

They had no idea what outrageous prices these things could fetch.

The mother and her two children who were discussing in a low voice had no idea how suspicious their actions would appear in the eyes of others.

Especially in the eyes of Qian, the owner of the candied fruit shop, although the styles of these three people's clothes are uncommon, and can even be said to be weird and not presentable, they are clean, neat and fit, and although they are washed white, they are not patched.

The shopkeeper Qian, who had seen countless people, concluded at a glance that this poor mother and son, who looked so poor, must have no money to go out. They had come to the town with great difficulty, so they had to find the best clothes and dress appropriately so as not to be looked down upon.

What a cunning countryman!

Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but sneer. They were whispering furtively, their eyes wandering back and forth, almost having "we are thieves" written on their faces.

Not only are these people not his big customers, they may also cause him big trouble.

If he hadn't been upset enough these past few days, he would have definitely handed them over to the authorities!

Apprentice Jiang Yi saw that his master was busy with a lawsuit and was about to kick them out, but was held down by Manager Qian.

"Hush, Xiaoyi, Miss Feng is here. Go and entertain her. I'll send them away."

After giving instructions to his apprentice, Shopkeeper Qian put on a professional fake smile and walked forward to greet Lin Qing.

"Sister-in-law, you've been looking at this for a long time and still haven't decided what to buy? How about I recommend something to you?"

Lin Qing nodded slightly: "Thank you, owner, please introduce the shop's signboard."

Shopkeeper Qian had not expected that this woman dressed as a peasant woman would not panic but calmly give him instructions. He could not help but be stunned for a moment and reflect:

Could it be that I am wrong?

Could it be that this woman was really here to buy something, rather than steal?

Seeing Lin Qing staring at him without blinking, Shopkeeper Qian collected his thoughts and thought to himself, no matter whether she wants to buy or not, he can't let her walk out of the store without spending a penny!

"Ahem, this is the yellow peach preserves I made today. They're made with fresh yellow peaches. They're sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious. Why don't you give some to the kids to try?"

Lin Qing saw that although he was smiling, he was very unkind and recommended the most expensive yellow peach preserves right away, so she knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Facing the other party's slightly sarcastic and provocative gaze, Lin Qing said calmly: "Okay, then I'll trouble the shopkeeper to bring four ounces of candied yellow peaches and another four ounces of candied plums."

The shopkeeper was stunned.

He rolled his eyes slightly to take a closer look, and then he realized that the three members of this family were all very good-looking.

What was even more rare was that the woman had a sense of calm and oppression. When her extremely peaceful eyes fell on him, he actually felt a little ashamed, as if his little thoughts had been seen through, and he dared not say anything sarcastic.

He also swallowed the words 'take out the money first and I'll weigh it for you'.

In fact, their store didn't originally have the rule of paying first and then weighing things, but too many people came to make trouble recently, so he had to change his strategy.

But facing this woman, he was speechless.

Lin Qing smiled and put twenty coins on the counter, "Boss, please weigh it yourself. Don't worry that I will default on the payment."

In fact, her balance had already run out, but she knew that in order to close the deal she had to spend money first, so she sold the apples given to her by Boss Tu in advance to prepare for emergencies.

Sure enough, it came in handy.

I just didn't expect that those ordinary-looking apples could be sold for five cents each in the system mall.

She was really curious about what the apples here tasted like and why they were so recognized by the mall.

After the sour jujube cakes are sold out, I’ll have to buy a few more to try!

The shopkeeper looked at the twenty cents on the counter and suddenly felt his face turn red, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took the money in his hand and said it was an apology but he didn't mean it at all.

"Madam, you are really joking. I, I didn't mean that!"

After saying that, he turned around and started to work, humming a tuneless tune as if to ease the embarrassment.

Seeing their mother's generosity, the two couldn't help but feel a little worried, which overshadowed their excitement about eating the candied fruit.

I don't know why my mother suddenly has so much extra money, but if she continues to spend it, even mountains of gold and silver will not be able to withstand it.

Gu Ermiao wanted to offer some advice, but seeing that his mother didn't seem to care at all, he understood.

Mom must have her own reasons for doing this.
