Lin Jingce and Lin Jingcheng stared at Shen Wanning. She came back to her senses, was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "Auntie, this bowl of milk tea is ten cents."

"What? A bowl of milk tea costs ten cents? Ten cents can buy five eggs. This milk tea will definitely not sell." The old lady opened her mouth in shock, shook her head, and returned the bowl to them.

Shen Wanning also knew that it was a bit expensive to sell in town, but there was no way around it, this milk tea was not meant to be affordable.

Several people put the bowls in order, then took out a few dipping saucer-sized bowls and filled them with milk tea.

Shen Wanning coughed twice. She had never done such a thing before. "Come, everyone, take a look. Take a look. There's free tasting of delicious milk tea. Try it before you buy. Try it before you buy!"

As soon as the word "free" was mentioned, people gathered around. One young man pointed at the milk tea on the table and asked, "Is this really free?"

Shen Wanning picked up a small bowl and handed it to him, "Of course, try it for free, and buy it if it tastes good."

"What if I try it but don't buy it?" The young man hesitated and didn't take the bowl immediately.

"Look at what you said. We are not forcing you to buy anything. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it after you have tried it. We can just treat it as a try." Shen Wanning replied.

The young man took the bowl, drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips a few times, and savored the milk tea carefully. After a while, he gave a thumbs up and said, "This tastes really good. Boss, how much is this milk tea per bowl? Give me one!"

"Okay, okay, milk tea is ten cents a bowl." Shen Wanning picked up the bowl and prepared to scoop one for him.

"What? It costs ten cents? Forget it, it's too expensive. I won't buy it." The young man waved his hands and left as if he was escaping.

Shen Wanning was not discouraged and continued to invite, "Is there anyone else who wants to try the milk tea? It's free, and it's okay if you don't want to buy it."

"It's so expensive. Just a bowl of milk tea costs ten cents, which can buy two kilograms of brown rice. Who has the spare money to drink milk tea?"

"Yeah, this little girl probably doesn't know the current prices. She's just setting prices randomly."

"Let's go, let's all go, this is not something we can afford to drink."

The people dispersed while chatting, and eventually there was no one around.

"Wan Ning, this...is the price too high? We haven't sold a single bowl." Lin Jingce frowned, his tone very worried.

"Brother, don't worry, let's try again. If it doesn't work, we will go to the county." After saying that, Shen Wanning started shouting again.

After a while, a mother and son finally came over. The little boy stared at the milk tea and said, "Mom, I want to drink this."

"Come, you can try it first. Try it before you buy." Seeing that there was a customer, Lin Jingce immediately handed over a small bowl.

After the little boy finished drinking, he shouted, "I want more, I want more, this is delicious."

"Okay, mom will buy you a bowl." After saying that, the woman asked, "How much is a bowl of milk tea?" As she spoke, she took out the money.

"Ten cents a bowl." Shen Wanning said with a smile, but this time she was not in a hurry to take the bowl.

"What? Ten cents? You are robbing me! You are so mean!" After saying that, the woman pulled the little boy away.

The little boy was reluctant to leave and kept shouting, "I won't leave, I won't leave, I just want to drink milk tea."

The woman slapped the little boy on the butt. "What are you drinking, you debt collector? Is this something you can afford? Merchants these days are all black-hearted. Be careful they might eat you up."

"Hey, you..."

Lin Jingce was furious and wanted to go up and argue with them, but was stopped by Shen Wanning. "Forget it, big brother. She has a point. Our milk tea is indeed not cheap."

Lin Jingce took a deep breath, "Then what should we do? If we can't sell these milk teas, are they going to be wasted?"

"No, it's still early, let's go to the county town. If we can't sell any in town, we'll go to the county. There are a lot of rich people in the county, so it's not like we can't sell a single bowl."

After saying that, Shen Wanning quickly packed up her stall and put the remaining items into the carriage with the two Lin brothers.

"Hey, wait, you just gave me a bowl of milk tea, so I'll give you three eggs. Although it's not enough to pay for that bowl of milk tea, it's a little token of my appreciation." The old lady caught up and ran to the front of the carriage with three eggs in her hand.

"No, thank you, Auntie. It's not convenient for us to take it here, so you should take it back and sell it!" Lin Jingcheng jumped off the carriage and declined with a smile.

"Okay then. I see that this is the first time for you three to do business. Young people don't understand the ins and outs of the business world. Let me tell you, when you get to the county later, don't just set up a stall anywhere like you do now." The old lady pointed and gave them some advice kindly.

"Oh? Please teach me, Auntie." Lin Jingcheng bowed slightly. Shen Wanning sat in the carriage and did not come out, but she pricked up her ears to listen to what the auntie said outside.

"Think about it, your milk tea is expensive, so only rich people can afford it. Where are there the most rich people? Of course, it's in the academy! How can poor people afford to go to school? Just that set of four treasures of the study costs a lot of silver." The old lady raised her head, smiled, and looked a little proud.

Lin Jingce suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, what Auntie said makes sense. I should go to the academy to sell it. It's a good opportunity to visit my third brother."

"Thank you, Auntie. We'll go right away." After Lin Jingcheng thanked her, he prepared to get on the carriage.

The old lady stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet! But most of the people in the academy are men, and men don't necessarily like sweets. So I'll show you a way out, but you can't let the young lady inside hear it."

The old lady waved her hand, signaling Lin Jingcheng to step forward. She whispered in his ear, "Brothels are full of women, and they are usually willing to spend money on these foods. Even if they don't buy them, their patrons will be willing to pay for them."

Lin Jingcheng's face turned red. He turned his head to look at the carriage. Fortunately, Shen Wanning didn't hear it.

"Thank you, Auntie. I understand."

"Hey, go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. I hope you can sell all these milk teas. It's not easy for young people to start a business~" The old lady said as she shook her head and walked away.

Lin Jingcheng jumped into the carriage and sat down. Lin Jingce quickly came over and said, "Second brother, what place was that old woman talking about just now? Why is she so mysterious?"

Lin Jingcheng shook his head and said nothing, "Brother, don't ask, it's not a good place."

Lin Jingce didn't react, so he didn't ask any more questions. Shen Wanning, on the other hand, immediately caught on. After all, there were quite a few people in the livestream who had mentioned brothels before, so she immediately understood why the woman had spoken so secretly.
