Chapter 296: Good and Bad Chapters Are All Said to You
Old Yu also saw that Shen Youyou was very anxious, and knew that this kid must be doing very well in business, so he nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Hurry, hurry, kid, go get busy first."
Shen Youyou nodded and quickly packed the bamboo shoots and went to another stall. When she got there, she found that the goods here were just as good as those there.
"Oh, why don't you prepare the leaves for wrapping things in advance? My home is far away and it's not easy to come to town. I want to buy some fresh food, but I can't take it away."
"Yes, yes! Why don't you get a bamboo bowl and serve it to us?"
Shen Daya and the others were so anxious that they were sweating. "Big sister, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. Look, someone used it before and took it away, and now they haven't returned it to me. There are still so many people waiting to be eaten at the stall."
Shen Erya also spoke up: "How about you wait a little while, when they are almost sold out we will leave some for you, and then we will pack them away for you in bamboo tubes?"
Shen Youyou: "Brother Erzhuang, quickly fetch a bucket of water, wash the bamboo shoots, and use them to wrap the steamed cake and jelly."
"Oh, you came at the perfect time."
Shen Erya also came over to help wash the bamboo shoots, and did not forget to turn around and say, "You can take it away now. We will wash it clean and wrap it in bamboo shoots, so you can take it home and eat it without worry."
Daya and Sanzhuang were also very busy. The stall was full of people. When someone vacated a seat after eating, someone else would sit down immediately. Some even turned around and greeted:
"Come on, little brother. I ate one serving of jelly and one serving of pao gao. Give me some to take away. But I want your jam. Do you sell it to me?"
Shen Daya nodded: "Sir, the jam is sold in this bamboo tube, fifty cents a barrel."
This was the price they had agreed on before. The jam was packed in a bamboo tube, about one pound in weight. They brought 50 barrels this time, and the ones they put in the ice jelly for everyone were also packed in the bamboo tubes.
"Tsk, tsk, the price is a bit high!"
It is true that not everyone can afford food that costs 50 wen per pound. Those people are just ordinary families in the county. It's not that they can't afford it, but they really feel it's too expensive.
"Pork prices have gone up and it's still 20 wen a pound. What kind of jam is this? It's so expensive. Even if you put sugar in it, it won't be enough to fill a pound. A pound of sugar is only 40 wen."
Shen Youyou continued, "Brother, you don't know that the fruit used to make jam is called Elaeagnus chinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine that has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, stopping diarrhea, and promoting blood circulation.
If you feel uncomfortable in your throat, jam mixed with water can also help, but now it is summer, jam can't be kept for too long, so you still have to eat it quickly. "
The man was amused by what he heard: "You kid, you sell jam and it can cure diseases, then what else can your pancakes and jelly cure besides cooling down the heat?"
Originally, the man just asked casually, but he didn't expect Shen Youyou to answer seriously:
"You've really asked the right person. In addition to being refreshing and relieving summer heat, baogao can also strengthen the stomach, eliminate stagnation, warm up the energy, replenish the spirit, and refine the impurities of the five internal organs. It's a good addition to any meal to suppress toxicity!
As for jelly, it is also called the fairy jelly, which has the effects of relieving summer heat and thirst, clearing away heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians, and nourishing yin and replenishing deficiency. "
That person didn't expect Shen Youyou to be able to open and close her mouth and talk so fast: "Are you trying to trick me?"
"It's no good to lie to you. We have a stall in the market, and there is a... um... my brother's family has been doctors for generations."
She was talking about the elder sister of the Guo family, and she almost called her "Tulupi" just now.
"Okay, my father has a cough recently, so I'll try your jam later to see if it works."
Shen Youyou was helpless: "Brother, you can only eat the jam for a few days. Even if it has a certain effect, it is not a magic pill. If the elderly are sick, they still need to see a doctor and prescribe the right medicine.
Do you have ice at home? If you don’t keep the jam refrigerated, it will go bad. If the jam goes bad, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but also give you a stomachache.”
The man smiled and pointed at Shen Youyou: "You little kid has said all the good and bad things. How about this, as long as my old father drinks it and feels a little better when I get home, I will help you promote it?"
"Okay, that's settled then."
Although it took a long time to talk, it was not in vain. In addition to the man, a shopping woman also bought two barrels of jam, and thirty cents each of jelly and steamed cake, saying that if the master liked it, she would come back again.
Shen Erya packed it up with a smile and put it in the bamboo basket of the housekeeper: "Okay, it's hot and the ladies and gentlemen have lost their appetite. After eating our food, they will definitely be happy to eat a few more bites. Maybe you can even get a reward."
Wow, it’s so convenient to learn and apply what you have learned.
"Haha, you are such a sweet talker, if I really get a reward, I will come to buy food from your house."
Gao Erzhuang also called out to another middle-aged man: "You have three pieces of jelly. If it tastes good, come back for more. We will set up a stall here tomorrow."
Si Zhuang is responsible for collecting the money. Although he is a bit slow, his family used to go to their hometown town often to sell hunted animals, so it is not a problem for him to deal with this for the time being.
But Shen Youyou was not very satisfied, and she had to make up for it with her brothers and sisters.
At least you have to learn simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This will only waste your time.
Thinking of this, Shen Youyou slapped her head and was so busy that she felt dizzy. She still had to deliver the basket to the old man.
When she returned to the old man's stall, quite a while had passed. The old man hadn't finished his bowl of jelly yet. "Grandpa, is this jelly not to your taste?"
Old Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I want to take it back for my little grandson to eat. The little kid likes sweet and sour food."
I felt sad when I heard this. It was so much like her grandparents. "Eat it. It's not convenient for you to take the bamboo bowl back. I'll pack a portion for you in a bamboo tube."
"I dare not. You are selling things for money. I didn't give you anything. And bamboo shoots are free."
Shen Youyou didn't listen to the old man, because to her, he had helped her a lot today, and the cost of some food was actually not high.
After taking another portion for the old man, he said he had to pay for everything. Shen Youyou was helpless: "So, will you still come to sell bamboo shoots tomorrow, old man?"
"Yes, the summer bamboo shoots are growing well recently. We can dig them until the end of August."
"If you really don't want to take advantage of me, just keep the bamboo shoot skin for me. I may need it later."
In fact, there is a bamboo forest in Tangjia Village, but Shen Youyou and the others have not entered it since they arrived, and only saw it from afar.
The bamboo shoots should have grown inside, and I said this to make the old man feel at ease holding the jelly.
And there is another point. I don't know how the villagers in Tangjia Village are doing in digging bamboo shoots. After all, there are many people in the village. What if they don't see any bamboo shoots when they go back, or if others see them as new people digging bamboo shoots and cause trouble for them?
As for Fangshan, the strong laborers are now busy reclaiming wasteland and have no time to go up the mountain. If Shen Youyou takes her brothers and sisters there by herself, the adults will definitely not allow it.
After telling Old Yu how to eat jelly and steamed cake, the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow. The stall closed after the bamboo shoots were sold out.
Shen Youyou and the others were busy until the afternoon, and all the things they brought were sold out, not even the jam was left.
This is also because the father at home didn't have a cough. His home was close to the market, so he went home and let his father eat some jelly and drink some warm water with jam.
Although it certainly won’t get better that quickly, his father said, “I feel my throat is much clearer now.”
That person was also a kind-hearted person, so he promoted the product to his neighbors. Although he didn't remember all the therapeutic effects, he praised the steamed cake, jelly, and jam highly.
In this way, some people came specifically to buy jelly and steamed cake, while others bought jam and left.
