Yushanfang

Chapter 14 Fourteen: Purchasing

Early in the morning, when the sky was just getting bright, Lin Xiang left the small temple and went to the restaurant.

After discussing with Feng Ming, Lin Xiang decided to go shopping first. There were not many waiters in the restaurant, and there were only three people in total, including Hancui, the girl who made the fire.

Lin Xiang still asked the girl who was about the same age as him to go out together.

Feng Ming went into the small kitchen and told the cook: "You don't need to cook tomorrow."

Immediately, the cook's eyes widened, surprised: "Why?" Could Feng Ming be resigning himself?He's a relative of this guy.

Feng Ming just said: "It's nothing." But he didn't see the other party's expression, he turned around hastily after a few words, lifted the curtain and went out.

The cook was quite frightened, and couldn't help beating the drums in his heart. After being so uneasy for a while, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat in an instant.

Taking advantage of the early time, Lin Xiang led the little girl Hancui into the morning market slowly.

At this moment, both sides of the street in the morning market are already full of people, and the vendors sell a full range of things, including incense powder, wooden hairpin jewelry, and middle-aged men dressed as farmers selling their own vegetables in small stalls.

What she thinks is that the reason why the restaurants are not doing well now is because they buy the wrong things. Since they want to change, they should fundamentally think about what to sell.Although I already have a general idea, but I still need to think about what to sell.

What food is cheap and easy to accept?
Lin Xiang couldn't help bowing his head and pondering.

"Dried shrimps, dried shrimps, fresh shrimps, a big bag of three copper coins—"

"Mushrooms—eight coppers in a basket—"

"Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, fresh Chinese cabbage in winter, three copper coins a—"

There was an endless stream of shouts in the noisy market.

A voice rushed into Lin Xiang's head, and suddenly, she raised her head and looked around.

Han Cui looked at Lin Xiang's actions in puzzlement.

"Go, go over there—" Lin Xiang suddenly pulled Hancui up, turned around, and walked towards the small stall not far away.

"How do you sell this?" With a smile on Lin Xiang's face, he pointed at the things on the booth.

As soon as the vendor saw a visitor coming, his face was full of smiles, and he opened his mouth and said, "Oh, girl, you really have eyes. These shrimps are freshly sun-dried a few days ago, and they are the best for cooking soup. Well, it's winter now, who doesn't want to eat something warm——" He began to promote his own food in a chattering voice.

Lin Xiang listened, nodding his head from time to time, but a plan arose in his heart.

In winter, the weather is cold, so it is best to sell soup and other foods, but there are also many kinds of soup, such as dumplings, noodles, and camellia, all of which can be eaten with an open stomach.

However, noodles are too common, and now there is not much spare money in hand, and there are no excellent vegetable ingredients. I am afraid that ordinary people eat them every day at home, and they are not very attractive.

Camellia oleifera is not bad, but it’s full of dry goods. Eating this in the morning can fill your stomach. If you eat it at lunch time, you will definitely not be full.

Dumplings... Lin Xiang frowned, thinking, still not sure.

"Hey, what are you waiting for, little girl, this shrimp soup is so delicious—" Seeing Lin Xiang frowning, the vendor started yelling again in an instant, fearing that the other party would not buy it.

Soup... Dumplings...

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and a thought flashed by. Lin Xiang raised his head, as if he had made a decision: "Shrimp, pack ten bags for me—"

That's right, she was thinking about other things just now, but she forgot about a thing that everyone often eats in winter.

ravioli!

That's right, it's wontons.

Wonton is also called wonton. It is called differently in the south and the north in modern times, but the ingredients and methods are the same.

Fresh and fragrant shrimps and a small amount of vegetables are boiled to make a broth, with thin noodles and salty fillings, then throw it into the pot, and it will be out of the pot in a short time, with an attractive aroma and delicious soup ...

Just thinking about it like this, Lin Xiang has already started to speak fluently.

In the blink of an eye, the peddler quickly wrapped up ten packs of shrimp, "Little girl, this is yours, thirty copper coins!"

Lin Xiang came back to his senses, watched the other party pass the things over, and did not immediately reach out to pick them up, but frowned.

"Well...can't it be cheap...?" Lin Xiang asked.

She went out to buy things, and she brought three hundred copper coins with her. Feng Ming didn't give them too much, and he probably didn't fully trust him, so she had to save money when buying things.

As soon as the peddler heard it, he knew that the other party thought it was too expensive, and shook his head: "No, no, this is already extremely cheap. We need to pay for this..." Of course he is not stupid, and he will not let go easily.

After listening to a lot of words from the other party, Lin Xiang nodded.

Seeing this, the peddler snickered in his heart: Sure enough, the little girl has no intentions and is easy to fool.

"Hancui, let's go." Unexpectedly, Lin Xiang's words were startling, and he turned around in an instant and was about to drag the girl away.

The small vendor was dumbfounded, why did he leave?Hastily shouted: "Wait, wait—"

To be honest, there are not many people who buy such expensive ingredients as shrimp. Who can afford to spend money to buy this stuff?The ingredients of the restaurant are also supplied by dedicated people.Therefore, it is extremely rare that someone is willing to buy today, and they buy ten packs at a time.

Dozens of copper coins can be brought in at once, which is quite a lot for a small street vendor who buys things. How could he let the money he got slip away?

"Girl, don't go... It's easy to say, easy to say..."

The moment she heard the vendor's words, Han Cui felt a little dazzled, because she seemed to see Lin Xiang snickering just now!
"Twenty copper coins!" Lin Xiang turned around and said.

twenty?This is too much!The peddler shook his head when he heard this: "No way! We also have a cost for this product. The cheapest is 28 copper coins!"

"22!" Lin Xiang was unmoved.

"28!"

"23!"

"27!" Gritting his teeth, the vendor said.

As a result, Lin Xiang suddenly sighed, a little helpless, "That's it, 25, and you can make a cut, you think it's okay."

How could the peddler agree?Just as I was about to refuse, I heard, "Oh... Last time I bought dried shrimps there for only twenty copper coins. Who would have thought that your place is so expensive, but there is no stall at that end today." It's a pity, "Hancui, why don't we come back tomorrow when there is a stall at the other end."

Han Cui couldn't understand what the other party was talking about at all, and looked confused.

"Don't, don't!" In an instant, the street vendor was shocked when he heard it, and quickly said: "Sure, 25 is 25!" But his heart was bleeding.

Lin Xiang smiled and handed out 25 copper coins, and took ten packs of dried shrimp and put them in the small basket carried by Hancui.

Why doesn't she know what these street vendors are thinking? In her last life when she went out to buy vegetables, she often fought wits with aunts and uncles.

"Let's go—" Lin Xiang pulled Han Cui who was still confused and walked to the other side.

Walking around, in less than half a day, when the sky was only slightly bright, Lin Xiang had already gained a lot.

"Well, cabbage, celery, pork... and..." Lin Xiang hung his head and counted one by one, thinking that it would be great if there were seaweed, but now he can only make do with it.

With Lin Xiang's hard work, it took a total of about 270 copper plates to purchase, and there are less than [-] copper plates left. Lin Xiang is quite satisfied with the results.

The little girl Hancui saw that Lin Xiang was not timid bargaining with a group of uncles and ladies, and she was extremely fierce, and she still hasn't recovered at this moment.

"Go back." Looking up at the sky that was starting to turn pale, Lin Xiang turned his head and shouted to the dazed Han Cui.
