tough peasant girl

Chapter 37
"Why can't you open your mouth? You see, the third child is a scholar who lives in the town and doesn't go home at all. After the eldest one left, Sun Yingniang and the others lived their own lives. Seeing that his life is getting better and better, Why do we have to live with your mother and the others? Don’t we do all the work? Isn’t it all the money you earned from hunting? Why should we raise your daughter for your parents? Look at our family How thin is Xiao Ran?" Zhang's tone was a little more tactful, the purpose was to make Lin Ziqun feel guilty.

"Then I'll tell dad later, don't worry!" Lin Ziqun comforted his wife, and then chopped wood with one hand.

Lin Poxue went to the market to sell skewers as usual, and as soon as she set up her stall, people came to patronize her. "I heard that your barbecue skewers are good, but I don't know how you do it? My house is far away, and it is not easy to buy skewers back and forth. Can you tell me how you do it, so that I can cook at home? I can do it too." The questioner was a middle-aged woman of medium build, her face seemed kind, but she was actually cunning.

Lin Poxue smiled at her and said, "Auntie, you mean to let me tell you the recipe?" She said it bluntly, making the other party blush.

"Little girl, look at what you said, I just think..." Before she finished speaking, Lin Luoyun could no longer listen. "You go, we won't sell it to you!"

"What's the big deal, if you don't tell me, don't tell me. Are you the only ones who can't do it!" She said angrily and left.

Lin Luoyun said with an angry little face: "Who are these people, I have never seen such a shameless person."

Lin Jun shook his head helplessly: "Sister, don't be angry, we can meet anyone in business, if you are so angry, you will be pissed to death."

Lin Luoyun glared at Lin Jun in disbelief, and then looked at the way Lin Poxue nodded, her face looked much better. "Luo Yun, she's actually jealous that we can get angry and make money, but I don't know how much hard work and labor we have put in."

They got busy while talking, but today's business seems to be really not as good as before. Before this time, almost one-third of the sales have been made, and today there are only a few people.

Business was not going well, so Lin Poxue didn't keep grilling skewers. Except for Lin Poxue, everyone else looked disappointed.

Lin Jun couldn't help worrying, if this continues, how can this business be done?Obviously these days have been fine, why suddenly...

"Sister, it seems that today's skewers can't be sold out!"

"We often buy skewers from us on weekdays, why haven't we met anyone today, don't they all eat today?" Lin Hu said wonderingly.

Lin Poxue was also full of anxiety, thinking that this was not a good omen, so she sent the careful Lin Jun to check and see if there was anything she could gain.

Lin Jun was also in a state of agitation, but when he left the shop and walked into the market, he heard a familiar yelling and frowned involuntarily, so it was like this?But the skewers don't smell like their own, so why are there so many people watching?
So he asked the little brother next to him. "When did there become another shop that sells skewers? I remember that the one that sold skewers seemed to be Lin Kee."

"The skewers here are cheap, and many people come here to buy them, but the taste is still not as good as Lin Kee's. I'll go to Lin Kee to buy them later!" the little brother finished talking. , and left.

After Lin Jun inquired about the matter clearly, he walked to his shop. Unexpectedly, the business of the shop changed from the deserted one before and became lively.

Lin Poxue saw that Lin Jun had come back, and before she could ask what was going on, she heard a guest officer ask: "Miss Lin, can your skewers be cheaper, Li Ji's skewers are much cheaper than yours? But I'm used to your food, and I've been buying it from you all the time, it's the price..."

Lin Poxue probably understood what happened, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "I think everyone who has eaten our Lin Ji skewers knows that ours is full of flavor and portion. You say that Li Ji's skewers are cheap. I also have to say a few words here, their weight is definitely not as much as ours, and the second is the taste. We are an exclusive secret recipe, which will never be spread, and ordinary people really can’t make this taste. We also pay attention to the harmony and prosperity of business. , you are our old customer, it's not that we don't want to give you a discount, but if this discount continues, we will lose money!"

The man felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. "Miss Lin, you are really good at talking. I can't tell you. To tell you the truth, I have eaten Li Ji's, but the problem is really bad, so I still insist on coming to your house!"

"Give me one! It's expensive but delicious!"

"I want a copy, but today I bought Li Ji's for a cheap price, but there was sand in it, which made me almost sick to death. It's better to eat Lin Ji's, don't worry!"

Lin Poxue was very happy when she heard these words. She knew that when a business was booming, the problem of following suit was unavoidable, but she didn't believe that other people's tastes could be the same as theirs.She wasn't worried at all about it.

All the skewers were sold out, so they started to pack up their things and prepare to go home, but at this time, a few men with scars appeared out of nowhere, Lin Poxue was thinking badly, what should I do?Uncle Danyang did not follow today, these people are not easy to deal with.

Seeing them getting closer and closer to her cart, Lin Luoyun's hands couldn't help shaking, where had she seen this before? "What about elder brother, second brother, and elder sister?"

Lin Hu blocked Lin Luoyun behind him and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, there is big brother here!"

"This is Lin Kee grilled skewers? Brothers haven't eaten it yet? Why do you want to close the stall?" The leading man asked with a cold snort.

"Excuse me, the guest officers. Today's skewers are sold out. Why don't you guys come back tomorrow and we'll make them for you then?" Lin Poxue knew that these people couldn't be offended, so she relied on their three-legged kung fu. Not enough people practice it.

"Tomorrow? When will we wait? No! It's now." A cold voice rang in my ears.

Seeing that these people were obviously here to find fault, Lin Jun couldn't help but said: "Guest officers, I'm really sorry, this is sold out, and we can't do it if you ask us to do it, can you be accommodating!"

The man with wicked eyebrows and mischievous eyes couldn't help looking at Lin Luoyun, and smiled lewdly with malicious intentions. "It's not that I can't accommodate, this chick looks good, can I borrow a few from my brother to play with?"

Lin Luoyun hid back in fear, Lin Hu wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Lin Poxue. "What are the guest officers doing here? Don't you just want to eat skewers? It's simple, so why bother?" Lin Poxue began to put down the packed things on the cart as she spoke.
