C14 014 Sale of Dim Sum

Just as Xia Yi was walking forward with the basket in her hands, someone called out to her. "Miss, are you here to buy food again?"

Xia Yi stopped to look. It was the hawker who bought the dishes yesterday, and currently, his face had a pile of smiles on it.

The fact that the peddler could produce Lentinus edodes, made Xia Yi have a very deep impression of her.

Xia Yi replied: "I'm not buying vegetables today, I'm here to sell some stuff."

With that, she opened the basket at an angle, allowing the peddler to see what was inside clearly.

The hawker's eyes lit up as he praised, "Yo, I didn't expect this lady to have this kind of craftsmanship."

Most of the women in the village only knew how to make homemade dishes, just like how not many people could make such delicate snacks.

There were a few dim sum stores on the Lingshan Town, and among them, there was a shop called Xiangji Shop, which was even a master specially invited from the capital city. The smell was the best, and was also the most expensive in the entire Lingshan Town.

The average villager would be willing to buy a taste, but not many would be willing to buy it.

However, since Lingshan Town was the closest town to the capital, there were quite a few reputable people there. Thus, there were quite a few that could afford to buy Xiangji Shop snacks.

Coincidentally, the wives of those large families liked this mouth, so Xiangji Shop's business was considered the best amongst the several dim sum stores.

"Buy one to try it?" Xia Yi was here to sell some snacks, so she didn't mind selling a few more.

However, the hawker waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't afford to eat, this dessert is so exquisite, maybe it will sell for more than the Xiangji Shop."

"Where is the Xiangji Shop?" Xia Yi asked.

The packman looked at Xia Yi in disbelief.

Xia Yi casually explained: "Previously, I rarely visited this town, so I'm not very familiar with this place."

"So that's how it is." The hawker cordially helped Xia Yi to buy a few snacks on the Lingshan Town, and also told him the prices of the snacks on the way.

The hawkers had also been selling vegetables on the street for a long time. Basically, every single person who came to buy vegetables would chat with them for a while. As a result, they were able to understand everything.

Listening to the hawker's words, Xia Yi silently calculated the cost and made a plan in her heart.

Even if they were priced according to the lowest prices of these snacks, there was still a lot of room for profit.

"Let's set the price at one coin and two coins." She set the price directly according to the lowest price. After all, her dim sum was sold in the tofu shop, if it was priced too high, there would be no business.

The peddler was slightly surprised, just the appearance of the dim sum in Xia Yi's basket was comparable to the price of the Xiangji Shop.

Just as the hawker wanted to say something, he saw Xia Yi take out two pieces of dim sum and pass them over, "Thank you for those words just now, they are really useful to me."

The peddler wanted to shirk responsibility at first, but seeing the sincerity in Xia Yi's eyes, he decided to accept it in the end.

Xia Yi pointed to the Bean Curd Shop at the back, and said to the hawker: "In the future, all of the snacks I make will be placed in that Bean Curd Shop for consignment, you can buy whatever snacks you want from there."

After she finished speaking, Xia Yi slowly walked toward the Bean Curd Shop.

Xia Changsheng had long seen Xia Yi, he did not disturb when he was talking to the vegetable vendor, and after seeing that Xia Yi had finished, he came out to welcome him.

"You really came?"

Originally, Xia Changsheng thought that Xia Yi was just speaking casually and did not take it to heart. He did not expect that Xia Yi would really come on time and even carried half a basket of Red Bean Cake s.

"Uncle Changsheng, this is the Red Bean Cake I made today, I didn't dare to make too much of it. I'll sell it to you for a bit.

"Alright, alright." Xia Changsheng responded, and casually asked: "How do I set the price?"

Xia Yi said: "I just found out about the prices of the other dim sum stores, so I'll sell them for a coin and two dollars."

"You must have asked Old Zhang. Old Zhang has been selling dishes on this street for more than ten years. Since he knows quite a lot, he might as well order one or two pieces of food." Xia Changsheng said.

The vegetable vendor was called Zhang Hagan, all the people who were familiar with him called him Old Zhang.

Xia Changsheng bought these snacks for the Granny Liu during New Year's Eve. He remembered that the price was exactly the same as what Xia Yi said.

Xia Changsheng quickly vacated a large space from the originally narrow platform and neatly placed all the Red Bean Cake s there.

Xia Yi knew that Xia Changsheng was really trying his best to help her, and had yet to taste the taste of a Red Bean Cake.

That was a location that anyone who came into the restaurant to buy tofu could see at a glance.

"Uncle, aren't you afraid that if I can't sell these snacks, I'll ruin your Bean Curd Shop business?" Xia Yi asked.

Xia Changsheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "If there's anything to delay, it won't be delayed. My Bean Curd Shop is basically a regular customer already, who doesn't know that my shop sells tofu …"

Xia Yi did not say much. She knew that her Red Bean Cake would not betray Xia Changsheng's trust.

Just as he finished setting it up, he saw vegetable vendor Zhang Hagan rushing over.

"Old Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xia Changsheng saw that Xia Yi gave Zhang Hai two pieces of Red Bean Cake, and now, saw Zhang Hai anxiously rushing over with one hand clenching his fist, as though he was holding onto something, he became nervous.

He opened his palm and saw five copper coins lying there quietly.

He slapped the copper coin on the table and said: "Help me keep the ten Red Bean Cake. Wait until later before I close the stall and get them."

After saying that, she did not give Xia Changsheng and Xia Yi any time to react, and hurriedly left.

"This... It opened so quickly? " Xia Changsheng found the speed of the opening unbelievable.

Xia Yi laughed: Uncle, do you want to try the taste of my Red Bean Cake?

Xia Changsheng did not reject, and directly nodded his head, picking up a piece of Red Bean Cake and putting it into his mouth.

If five copper coins were enough to buy a large chunk of meat, then according to his logic, he would rather spend five copper coins to buy a lump of meat than spend it on snacks.

After tasting it for a bit, Xia Changsheng wavered in his thoughts.

The Red Bean Cake's skin was crisp and fragrant, the red bean paste was thick and melting in his mouth. The sweet taste of the red bean instantly filled his mouth, but he did not feel that it was too sweet.

This taste should not be inferior to Xiangji Shop's snacks, but Xiangji Shop's snacks were more than one time more expensive than what they were selling. No wonder Zhang Hai specially bought a few more.

Comparing the prices of the Xiangji Shop, he did not feel like he had earned that much.

Xia Changsheng was hundred times more confident: "Xia Yi, this Red Bean Cake is definitely easy to sell. I feel that you have to make more and send it over to me tomorrow."

Xia Yi declined to comment. Most of the time, everyone's ability to accept new things was not as good as they imagined.

In the future, there would be a lot of customers buying tofu in the shop, but no matter how hard they tried to promote Xia Changsheng, no matter how hard they tried, or how they patted their chests to guarantee that the Red Bean Cake would be delicious, they were all unable to sell any more tofu.
