Dressed as the best aunt in farming text

Chapter 56

Xu Lingyue handed a piece of candied peach to Mrs. Wu, and looked at her expectantly: "Mother, how would you like to eat?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu looked at the ugly preserved peach, took it over suspiciously, froze for a moment, and then put it in her mouth to taste it.

After tasting it carefully, a hint of enjoyment appeared on Wu's face, it was sweet and very chewy.

After eating, Wu's affirmative evaluation: "Not bad."

After hearing Wu's words, Xu Lingyue was overjoyed for a moment, and quickly said: "Then let's sell it first, and if it sells well, we can make some more."

Mrs. Wu nodded, and said in a full-fledged manner, "Okay."

She was very happy to hear that the other party agreed, and she believed that someone would definitely buy it.

After dinner, she took out some of it for the Xu family to taste. After tasting it, everyone agreed that Xu Lingyue was more confident now.

She asked Mrs. Wu to weigh it with a scale, and there was about three catties left.

It can't be sold yet, and it will have to dry for a few more days, and the plums weigh two catties, and the total is five catties.

Three days later, today was the town's market day, before dawn, the Xu family had already woken up, and Xu Lingyue was woken up by Wu's in a daze.

On this day, the Xu family will sell eggs, dry firewood, and various things made of bamboo on the street. Not only their family, but most families in the village will go to the town on this day.

Because they wanted to grab a good spot, they got up before dawn to go to the market on this day.

Mrs. Wu stuffed the things in her hand to her, and said: "Baby, take this water and steamed buns with you, and eat them later on the way."

The steamed buns are still hot, just out of the oven.

Xu Lingyue nodded, expressing that she understood.

At this time, she was still a little sleepy, and she glanced outside, only to see that it was still dark that day, and she hadn't heard the cock crowing yet, so it should be around four or five o'clock now.

Everyone prepared everything in a hurry, and they were about to go out to the town.

Wu-shi even locked every door in the house on purpose, after all the Xu family members had gone out, even the youngest little Xing Xing, Liu-shi was on his back.

The chicken coop is also locked to prevent someone from stealing it.

In the past three days, the elder brother specially made a lot of bamboo baskets, bamboo sticks and the like, just to go to the market on this day.

After preparing everything, everyone set off for the town.

I thought they had woken up early enough, but I didn't expect that there were others earlier than them. Along the way, besides the villagers in this village and those from the next village, they were all carrying big and small bags.

Xu Lingyue yawned, feeling that her eyelids were a bit heavy. She was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep. No, she didn't sleep well.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the gate of the town. At this time, it was already dawn, and there were many people coming and going along the way.

After entering the town, everyone hurriedly found a good place to display their products.

They were not crowded together, but spread out.

Xu Lingyue went with Wu Shi, Liu Shi and Zhu Shi went to sell eggs, eldest brother, third brother, father, Xu Xiaoyao, Xu Anbao, because after selling their goods, they planned to go to Hongyan Academy to go through the admission procedures.

This time, she not only brought candied peaches and plums, but also an embroidered purse.

In the past few days, she probably embroidered more than a dozen of them, and Liu's ones were sold by herself.

Xu Lingyue said to the people around her: "Mother, let's arrange things quickly."

Wu Shi nodded, and the two started working together.

There are so many people on the street today, and it is already full of people at this time.

As soon as the stall was set up, a young man came over, pointed to something and asked suspiciously, "Little girl, is this candied fruit?"

Seeing that the business came, Xu Lingyue was very happy, and quickly explained: "Master, this is peach candied fruit, and this is plum candied fruit. You must try it."

She specially got some to try, of course it wasn't the big ones, but the ones that were divided into small pieces.

Fearing that the other party would not know, she quickly explained: "Master, this tasting is free."

As soon as they heard that it was free to try, the men took a small piece each, and after eating, their eyes lit up, and they quickly asked, "How do you sell this?"

Xu Lingyue said hastily, "Five cents and one tael."

When Mrs. Wu heard the price, she was shocked. One must know that the candy is only two cents a catty, but this candied fruit is sold for five cents a tael, so it might be too expensive.

Hearing the price, the man seemed a little surprised, but he didn't think it was expensive, but cheap.

After all, Weimingzhai's candied fruit costs twenty yuan and one tael, which is not affordable for ordinary people. With the above price, the man naturally thinks that Xu Lingyue sells it cheaply.

He said very straightforwardly: "We want four taels each."

Seeing him so straightforward, the mother and daughter were immediately a little happy, and quickly used oiled paper to pack four taels for him.

The man left after paying the money.

Only then did Wu ask: "Baby, is the price too expensive?"

Hearing Wu Shi's words, Xu Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Probably not, I don't think that man thought it expensive at all."

She didn't know that there were more expensive ones than hers. If she knew, Xu Lingyue would regret it to death.

At this time, she thought of going to check the prices of her colleagues, so she suggested: "Aniang, do you know where there is a seller of candied fruit in this town, why don't we go and see what prices they sell."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu thought about it for a while, and said after a long time: "I remember that Weimingzhai and Qibao Pavilion are for sale."

But since they haven't been to these places on weekdays, Mrs. Wu doesn't know what prices are sold inside. After all, who in an ordinary family has spare money to buy candied fruit?

After hearing what Mrs. Wu said, Xu Lingyue thought about it, and decided to go and see it when it was sold out.

While the mother and daughter were talking, a little boy drooled looking at the candied fruit, and said to the woman beside him expectantly, "Mother, I want to eat this."

The woman suddenly became unhappy, and scolded: "You child, I don't know how expensive candied fruit is, what to eat."

The little boy felt aggrieved immediately, he kept pulling the woman to their stall, and kept coquettishly saying, "No, no, I want to eat, I want to eat."

Xu Lingyue glanced at the woman and the child. The clothes had been washed until they turned pale, and it seemed that she didn't have much spare money on hand.

The little boy kept rolling around, and the passers-by on the road couldn't help but stop and take a look. The woman probably felt that she was losing face, so she bit the bullet and came over to ask the price.

"Little girl, how do you sell this candied fruit?"

Even knowing that the other party didn't really want to buy it, Xu Lingyue patiently explained: "Five cents and one tael."

She pointed to the small wooden box on the side, and explained to the other side with a smile: "Beautiful sister, we have free samples here, you can try it."
