Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Different from the peasant households living in the suburbs and villages, the people in the city of Xuzhou can be regarded as the bourgeoisie, and they are relatively rich and knowledgeable.Even so, they still couldn't help being shocked by the generosity of the Spicy Fairy.

White flour steamed buns are not a rare and expensive item, but no matter how cheap they are, they still cost money. The market price of a steamed bun is two yuan. There are at least a hundred and eighty steamed buns in the basket in front of me, let alone a two-jin jar of chili sauce. , The cost of tasting alone is almost hundreds of dollars.

Xuzhou Prefecture is not as prosperous as Jiangnan and the capital. The turnover of small-scale shops in the prefecture is generally low, especially small shops selling food. If the net profit of a day is one or two taels of silver, the business is considered to be relatively good.

Ordinary small bosses are not willing to give out hundreds of coins for customers to try. If Spicy Fairy is so generous, maybe the owner behind it is really a rich and powerful businessman.Thinking about it this way, the shopkeeper's previous rhetoric became much more credible.

People have the mentality of taking advantage of small advantages. No matter whether they buy chili sauce or not, passers-by want to eat a white noodle steamed bun for nothing. They want to try it for a while, so they can't help but confirm it again: "Shopkeeper, are you sure it's just steamed buns with limited amount of chili peppers?" Unlimited sauce? What if I eat half a jar of chili sauce with one steamed bun?"

The shopkeeper laughed: "It's fine if you can eat that much. Anyway, we only provide one steamed bun and one jar of chili sauce. You can't take it out until you finish eating. Of course, I still have to remind you, it's best not to dip too much at one time. Otherwise, panic."

"Just now you said you can eat as much as you want, but now you don't want to dip too much, you are so stingy..." The passer-by thought that the shopkeeper was reluctant, and complained a few words in his mouth, and he couldn't wait to take it in his hand. I took a steamed bun, submerged most of it in the jar, and covered it with chili sauce.

As soon as the mantou dipped in chili sauce enters the mouth, the various taste stimuli of salty, fragrant and spicy explode in the mouth instantly. Passers-by's eyes light up first, and then they are quickly overwhelmed by the salty and spicy taste. After swallowing the steamed buns, he still couldn't understand the spicy taste, and his mouth seemed to be breathing fire, and he said anxiously: "Water! Water! Water! Is there any water!"

The shopkeeper had expected this, and passed the water in a timely manner, and the passer-by gulped it up immediately, and then he recovered a little.

Everyone looked at him nervously, and asked expectantly: "How is it? What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"

After such a short time, the passers-by were sweating from the heat, and felt that the whole person was transparent from head to toe. They were surprised and happy and said: "It's delicious! It's very spicy and fragrant! It's good to eat!"

Speaking of this, he recalled the taste, and his face wrinkled slightly: "It's just a bit too salty and spicy, and the taste is so strong that I almost died of it."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, you dipped too much in the past, with the amount you dipped, let alone one steamed bun, even three steamed buns still feel salty! Our chili sauce is for the meal. It is understood as kimchi, it can be served with rice, but it is absolutely not allowed to be eaten as a meal!"

Everyone was already salivating because of the spicy aroma. Curious and greedy, they picked up the steamed buns and dipped them in chili sauce to try them out, and praised them again and again:

"Wow! It's really spicy! In terms of taste alone, chili is more spicy than dogwood and wasabi. It's so spicy that it makes people's tongue hurt, but it's only limited to the mouth and doesn't offend the nose. I think this chili is not only delicious as a sauce , it must be a good seasoning for cooking!"

"If you say it's salty, it's not just salty; if you say it's spicy, it's not just spicy; while it's salty and spicy in your mouth, the aroma is still piercing your nose, and you can't help eating more, more Eat a little, buy this chili sauce back, I'm afraid our family's appetite will increase!"

"No wonder it's ready to eat. I just dipped a little bit and ate a full steamed bun, and it still smells delicious. There are only three people in my family. I feel like I bought a can of chili sauce and went home. I ate it for a month. Question! Calculated in this way, it is still a good deal to eat [-] Wen of sauce a month, it is not expensive!"

These passers-by live in the prefectural city of Xuzhou and belong to the petty bourgeoisie. Although their families are not rich and powerful, their living conditions are better than most tenant farmers. It is not a big deal to spend a few hundred cash a month to buy chili sauce. expenses.

Some people went shopping alone and ate chili sauce by themselves, but their wives and children hadn’t eaten it yet, thinking that they should take some back to try something new anyway; Without spending money, I had already eaten a steamed bun from someone else. Feeling sorry, I paid for half a catty of chili sauce.During the Spring Festival, the streets are full of people. A group of customers here paid the money and left with the chili sauce in their hands, while a new group of passers-by came to ask the shopkeeper curiously.

The shopkeeper was very professional, smiling from beginning to end, and took the trouble to explain over and over again, attracting a steady stream of customers.

Soon, the baskets of steamed buns for tasting were finished, but there was still half a jar of chili sauce left.Maybe it was out of curiosity, maybe they wanted to join in the fun, or maybe they thought it was a good deal, a large number of passers-by would rather spend money to buy two steamed buns at the breakfast shop next door, but also to try this novel chili sauce.

For a while, not only was there a lot of chatter in front of the Spicy Fairy Shop, but the business of the breakfast shop next door also picked up.The owner of the breakfast shop got cramps counting money early in the morning. Since the shop opened, he has never seen so many people come to buy steamed buns, and his eyes are smiling.

The business of the breakfast shop next door is good, and the business of Spicy Fairy is naturally even better. From the opening of the firecrackers in the early morning to the present, within an hour before and after, all the chili sauce in the shop for the day was sold out.

The shopkeeper himself didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly, so he quickly apologized to the crowd of customers crowded in front of the shop with a smile: "Guests, I'm really sorry, the chili sauce in the shop is sold out today, we're going to close, everyone tomorrow Come again."

The guests did not buy it, and said dissatisfiedly:

"What's going on? I still had some when I came here before! I just bought half a catty of sauce. I gave it to my mother-in-law when I got home and tasted it. She said I bought less and asked me to buy more. As a result, you didn't have to sell it. Now How can I get home to do business?!"

"At any rate, you bought half a catty of sauce, and I didn't buy any of it! I tasted it myself, so I have to buy some for my wife and children to taste!"

Someone slapped the table in front of the shopkeeper aggressively, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's closed before the sun has fully risen. Look at other stores. Is there anyone else who closes so early? I don't believe it's such a big store. I just plan to do that." Order chili sauce, you must have it in stock, right?"

The shopkeeper said with a sneer: "We have stock, but this..."

The man interrupted him impatiently: "If you have stock, take it out quickly! I don't care about this and that. We are buying with money, not robbery. What are you afraid of!"

Everyone echoed in unison: "That's right, if you have money but don't make money, aren't you a fool!"

"I've waited for so long, you can't tell me to return empty-handed, can you?"

"So much nonsense, hurry up and get out the chili sauce!"

Before the shopkeeper came to Laiweixian, he also worked as a shopkeeper for many years and dealt with various customers and emergencies.But no matter how experienced he is, he has never seen this situation before, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to ask his boss.
