Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Change of Face_1
“Alright, I got it, Brother Xinglin. These snacks are all made by . You take them and let your sister-in-law have a taste.” Soone was protecting Lin Yue, naturally happy to agree, while stuffing more snacks into Zhao Xinglin’s hands. Zhao Xinglin did not refuse, but he did take out coins from his pocket. Lin Yue imdiately changed her expression upon seeing this action.
“Brother Xinglin, what are you doing? You’re settling accounts with over such a small amount of food? It’s like you’re slapping my face. Are you saying that because Erhu is now lying in bed unconscious, you no longer acknowledge as your sister-in-law?” Lin Yue deliberately spoke with a stern face. No matter the reason, she couldn’t possibly accept the money,
“Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I know your kindness. In the past, I’ve accepted everything you’ve given without ever discussing it with outsiders. But this ti it’s different. You are running a business now, and there are rules to doing business. One can’t just take things without paying.”
“Brother Xinglin, stop arguing about this with . Otherwise, you can no longer call sister-in-law.”
Zhao Xinglin had originally thought that since Zhao Erhu was currently unconscious, and his family was in tough tis, he did not want to take Lin Yue’s items for free. Seeing how Lin Yue reacted, he knew that if he insisted further, she would really get angry, so he had to let it go.
After this incident, the vendors around looked at Lin Yue differently. They didn’t expect this young woman to have such a robust backing, with a constable from the governnt office supporting her. In the future, they would need to think twice before offending her. A shady-looking man in the crowd, realizing the situation was not in his favor, sneaked away. Fortunately, he hadn’t managed to make a move yet, otherwise, it would have been bad.
Selling things was like this; everyone wanted to rush to where the crowds were. The stead buns Lin Yue had brought in a large basket were sold out in a short while. As the crowd around her stall began to thin, people who enjoyed the taste of Lin Yue’s stead buns were willing to try buying her other offerings.
The bean sprouts sold well, with only a few bunches left. The pressed and soaked dried bamboo shoots were priced at six coins and five coins a portion, respectively, and they sold fairly well, with only a small portion left. The five-spice tofu, priced at five coins each, would cost at least two for a bowl of stir-fry. Many people showed interest, but fewer actually bought it, leaving more than half unsold. However, Lin Yue had anticipated this and didn’t make too much to begin with. She wasn’t willing to lower the price since the cost was fixed. If people liked it, they would co back to buy more, and sales would eventually grow.
“Big sister, your business is doing well, eh? You’ve sold quite a lot from your stall. Do you still have stead buns? I want to buy a good amount more.”
Lin Yue looked closely, and recognized the speaker as the young woman who had been the first to buy stead buns from her. This ti, not only did she co with her child, but she was also accompanied by a well-dressed lady in her forties, who had a sowhat severe expression.
“Sister, it’s you. I’m sorry, but you’ve co a bit late. All of the stead buns are sold out now. Would you like to buy sothing else instead? I still have bean sprouts, pressed shoots, and dried bamboo shoots. The bean sprouts are fresh and tender, just harvested, and the pressed shoots and dried bamboo shoots are crunchy and delightful. And these five-spice tofu pieces are made according to a traditional family recipe, they are very flavorful. Sliced with so shredded at or just stir-fried on their own, they are delicious. Would you like to buy so to try?”
“Oh, they’re gone? My mother-in-law found your stead buns delicious, and she especially asked to bring her here to buy more. I didn’t expect them to sell out so quickly,” the young woman replied with a touch of disappointnt. However, her mother-in-law, after hearing Lin Yue’s pitch, began to look over the items on the stall with keen interest.
