Now is not the busy farming season, and farmers do not have a high demand for carbohydrates and oil. Many families eat two meals a day, one porridge and one rice.

The fried dough sticks made by Ye Xunqing are very suitable for eating during the busy farming season. They can not only replenish physical strength, but are also easy to store and carry. However, the disadvantage is that farmers at that time generally had no money and could not afford to buy food.

There were often people in the village carrying things to sell, sometimes they were selling tofu, sometimes they were selling groceries, so when Ye Xunqing and his friends appeared in the village, the villagers were not very surprised, but came over curiously to ask them what they were selling.

"Fried dough sticks?" A woman came over with her child. "What are they made of?"

Ye Xunqing introduced: "This is made with eggs, flour, sugar and sesame seeds. You can try it. It's free."

The woman was very surprised, "Is it possible to taste it for free?"

"Of course." Ye Xunqing had already handed them the fried crispy noodles. "Try them. If you like them, buy them. If they don't, we won't force you to buy them."

It’s a waste not to try something that’s free, so the woman and her two children tasted it.

"Mother, it's sweet." The little girl said, "It's delicious!"

The boy also said, "Mother, let's buy some."

The woman also liked it. In the past, the noodles she ate were all steamed or boiled. This was the first time she ate fried noodles, and they tasted really good.

"How do you sell this?" the woman asked.

Ye Xunqing took a folded banana leaf and said, "Five cents a pack."

A pack is not much, just the size that can be held in a man's hand.

"It's a bit expensive." The woman wanted to bargain.

Ye Xunqing said: "I made this with real ingredients, five cents is really not expensive. And this stuff is easy to fill up and can be kept for a long time. If you take it with you when you go out to work, one bag is enough for a day."

"How can I bear to eat this while working?" The woman laughed and said, "Never mind, the kids like it, just buy a pack."

The woman took out money to buy something. Someone nearby saw her and asked her what she bought.

The woman waved and said, "Come quickly, come and have a look, it's delicious."

Several men and women came with their children. They were also interested in the new fried dough sticks. Some bought them after trying them, while others didn't buy them because they thought they were too expensive.

Ye Xunqing didn't mind and accepted everyone who came, so everyone could get a little sample to taste.

Although the price was not cheap, it was novel and tasted good, so it sold well. Within a short time of arriving at the village, they had already sold 30% of it.

Feng Jingheng continued walking towards the village with his load on his shoulder. Ye Xunqing weighed the copper coins in his hand and said, "Very good, I've made my money back. Flour cost ten cents, eggs cost twenty cents, sesame oil cost thirty cents, and sugar cost fifteen cents. I've made an extra fifteen cents now."

Feng Jingheng said: "It seems that we can sell out the things sooner."

Ye Xunqing nodded and said, "If it sells well, we'll go to Liujia Village the day after tomorrow to sell it, and then go to town the day after tomorrow to sell it, just in time to pick up the wedding dress we ordered."

Speaking of wedding attire, Feng Jingheng felt happy, "Okay, I'll arrange the banquet too."

"Fried dough sticks, fried dough sticks, sesame twists, sesame slices, fried dough sticks and crispy strips, selling fried dough sticks~" Ye Xunqing shouted to everyone he met. He was not a person with social anxiety, so hawking was easy for him.

The shouting can attract more people, but most of them are children. They have no money and just want to get something for free.

Ye Xunqing distributed them all to them. They were so happy with the food that they came back to ask Ye Xunqing for more soon.

"No." Ye Xunqing refused a boy who asked him for fried dough sticks, "You've already been here."

The boy said stubbornly, "No."

Ye Xunqing pointed behind him and said, "Just now at the big poplar tree, you asked me for some fried dough twists, so you don't have the chance to taste them for free now."

After being exposed, the boy did not feel embarrassed, but shamelessly shouted: "Then I asked for it on behalf of my sister."

Ye Xunqing didn't indulge him either. "There's no such thing as asking for something on behalf of others. If you want something, just come and buy it yourself. If you don't want to buy it, don't block my way and don't interfere with my business."

This boy is the leader of the children in the village. He usually walks around the village in a domineering manner. Today, he was taught a lesson by a person from another village, who is a weaker boy at that. He certainly cannot accept it.

"I want it!" he said, reaching into the basket to take out the fried dough sticks.

Ye Xunqing was quick to stop his claws, "Boy, don't be so shameless. If you can't get it, just rob it. What kind of robbery is that?"

Feng Jingheng also turned the basket half a circle, then reached out and pulled the boy's ear, saying, "Didn't your family teach you not to steal other people's things?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." The young man grimaced in pain, "If you have the guts, let me go. I'll duel with you!"

Ye Xunqing couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to duel with him or with me?"

The boy is not a fool. The big guy looks like he is not someone to be trifled with. How could he possibly duel with him?

"You, I want to duel with you." said the boy.

"Haha." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "I don't accept it. I warn you again, if you don't want to buy it, don't make trouble, otherwise I will be rude to you."

He let go of the boy's hand, and Feng Jingheng followed suit.

However, the boy did not repent. As soon as he broke free from the restraints, he immediately reached out his vicious hand to the basket.

Ye Xunqing had already predicted that this kid was going to do something bad, so before he grabbed the basket, Ye Xunqing pulled out a lotus stem and hit him hard on the back of his hand. The lotus stem had small thorns, so it was still very painful when it hit the hand.

The boy was completely obedient. "My hand, my hand, grandma, someone is bullying me..."

His shouting attracted the adults in the village. An old lady with a fierce face came running over with a stick in her hand, "Who bullied my grandson?"

Ye Xunqing couldn't help rolling his eyes. He just wanted to sell something, why was it so troublesome?

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" More villagers gathered around.

When the old lady saw her grandson's hand was injured, her eyes immediately flashed with anger, "Who did it?"

"Me." Ye Xunqing took the initiative, "How did you educate your grandson? He is so naughty at such a young age and just learns to steal and rob things, right?" He spoke very loudly, because in a quarrel, it doesn't matter whether the two parties are reasonable or not, but only how loud their voices are.

The old lady was stunned. She hadn't said anything yet. Besides, she was usually the one scolding others, so why would she be the one being scolded right away?

"You're the one bullying my grandson, aren't you?" The old lady raised her stick.

Feng Jingheng took the stick with one hand, snatched it and stepped on it to break it, then said: "Harmony brings wealth, you will scare my wife with the stick."

The old lady knew that she had met a powerful person. "What do you do?"

Ye Xunqing cleared his throat and said loudly, "Take a look, take a look! Freshly fried dough sticks, sesame twisted dough sticks, and fried dough sticks. Adults will be full after eating them, and children will not want to run away after eating them!"
