C15 Where Did the Beggar Come from

"Aunt Wang, the Red Bean Cake my family sells is really tasty, the taste is not any worse than Xiangji Shop. You can really buy two to go back and have a taste." Xia Changsheng was still helping Xia Yi sell the Red Bean Cake relentlessly.

Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "It's alright. It's only the new year, so why would I buy snacks? With that money, I might as well cut a few pieces of meat."

Eh, this idea was exactly the same as Xia Changsheng's original idea, Xia Changsheng had no other choice.

"What should we do? No one bought such a delicious Red Bean Cake? " Xia Changsheng was also feeling extremely helpless, he had already used all of his skills.

The fragrance of wine was also afraid of the depths of the alleyway. Propaganda methods were also essential.

Xia Yi found a knife and cut open a few Red Bean Cake s with a "Ka Ka Ka" sound. Each of the Red Bean Cake s had one petal.

"Xia Yi, don't be in such a hurry. I'll help you think of a way.

Xia Changsheng didn't have any marketing awareness, he only knew how to recommend others wholeheartedly. Now that he saw Xia Yi do such a weird thing, he thought Xia Yi had received a beating just to vent his anger.

Xia Yi patiently explained: "Uncle, this is the food I prepared for the test, I'll send it for everyone to have a taste later. If everyone feels that it's delicious, they will naturally come over to buy it."

"Try it out?" This was the first time Xia Changsheng heard that it could be like this, he could not help but brighten up, "That's right, just now, Old Zhang came over to buy 5 coins after tasting it."

There were not many people on the street, so Xia Yi was not in a hurry to find her target.

Those who dressed elegantly and had decent clothing were Xia Yi's target customers, and only these kind of people would buy snacks from time to time.

As for people like Zhang Fugen, he would only occasionally buy some food and not become a regular customer.

From this matter, Xia Yi fully recognized the poverty of this era.

Deep poverty makes them the first concept of consumption is wrapped in belly heating, unnecessary money spent less.

It wasn't that most people couldn't afford snacks, it was just that they didn't think it was necessary.

Right at that moment, Xia Yi saw a girl around her age supporting an old lady who was slowly walking over.

Just by looking at their clothes, they could tell that they were either rich or noble.

In addition, the young woman was wearing a golden hairpin.

Xia Yi carried the tray and quickly walked over.

"Miss, madame, the store's new dish, Red Bean Cake, is not expensive to eat. Would you like to try it?" Xia Yi said.

Chu Sike looked at the disheveled Xia Yi in front of him with disdain. She placed one hand on the tip of her nose and pinched gently, then said with disdain: "Go go go, where did this stinky beggar come from? Who knows which trash can you pick up from the plate?"

Although the clothes Xia Yi was wearing were tattered, they did not have any smell.

Just based on Xia Yi's clothes, Chu Sike humiliated Xia Yi to the extreme as well as the food she cooked.

"Why are you still standing here? "Hurry up and leave!" Seeing Xia Yi standing there motionlessly, Chu Sike opened her mouth again.

Xia Yi looked straight into Chu Sike's eyes, and said word by word, "S-sorry."

"Are you crazy?" Chu Sike looked at Xia Yi in disbelief. In the entire West Liang, other than the princess, no one else had dared to speak to her like that, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, but I know that the real Miss of a Venerable Family wouldn't do such a shrewd thing like you." Xia Yi said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

After saying that, she did not forget to ask Old Lady Chu at the side, "What do you think, madame? I think you are more reasonable than your granddaughter. "

Xia Yi wasn't flattering to Old Lady Chu's words, this was indeed the first time she felt this way.

Aside from that, the Old Lady Chu also had a faint heroic air around her. She was indeed unlike the old lady from a wealthy family.

"Grandmother." Chu Sike hugged Old Lady Chu's arm and said coquettishly.

"Ke, my apologies." Old Lady Chu was not moved.

"Grandmother!" Chu Sike said in disbelief, "How can you be like an outsider?"

"Apologize! Don't let others say that the young miss of our Chu Family is uneducated. " The Old Lady Chu said in a stern voice.

Seeing that the Old Lady Chu was a little angry, Chu Sike did not dare to argue anymore, and could only apologize to Xia Yi in a very soft voice.

In Chu Family, other than her uncle who had made great contributions in battle, no one else dared to go against her grandmother's words.

Usually, Chu Sike would act like a spoiled child in front of Old Lady Chu, but the moment Old Lady Chu got angry, Chu Sike would not dare to breathe too.

"Miss, did you hear that?" Old Lady Chu frowned in dissatisfaction.

Xia Yi shook her head sincerely, "I didn't hear anything."

Chu Sike clenched both her hands tightly, and after struggling with her thoughts, she spoke again, "My apologies, I was presumptuous just now."

If not for the fact that she had entered the Lingshan Town and the carriage being broken, as well as the fact that Old Lady Chu was in high spirits, she said that she would take the opportunity to move her muscles and bones, how could she have met with such a situation?

"For the sake of the madame, I will not bother with you." Xia Yi naturally knew that Chu Sike was not sincerely apologizing, but she also knew that it was enough.

After saying that, he turned around and left. Just as he took two steps, he was stopped once again by Old Lady Chu: "Miss, wait."

"What else does the madame want?" Xia Yi asked suspiciously, because Old Lady Chu did not look like someone who was going to take advantage of the situation.

"Is the girl selling pastries?" Old Lady Chu had a kind smile on her face.

Xia Yi nodded. "Mn."

"Give me some of your pastries." She then turned around and said to the servant girl behind her, "Give me the money."

Xia Yi said: "A yard is a yard, since she has already apologized, then we are even. The old lady does not need to buy my snacks just for this."

Xia Yi then walked two steps forward and said: "Currently, there is only the Red Bean Cake as a snack, the old lady can taste it first, if it's delicious, buy some, but if it's not, just leave."

"Heh, you speak so grandly. Don't you still want to earn money from Grandmother?" Chu Sike coldly snorted in disdain.

The Old Lady Chu ignored Chu Sike's words and directly took a small Red Bean Cake from Xia Yi's plate and put it in her mouth.

To be honest, she did not have much expectations for Xia Yi's cooking. After all, she could even eat the pastries made by the imperial kitchens if she wanted to.

However, the taste in his mouth made Old Lady Chu's eyes light up. The taste was not inferior to the pastries made by the royal kitchen.

Just the Old Lady Chu alone had cleared half of Xia Yi's stock.

She had wanted to buy more, but Xia Yi had told her that there would be more tomorrow.

Old Lady Chu felt that Xia Yi was very interesting, other people who sold things would only wish to sell a little more, but this young lady actually advised her to buy less.

Actually, Xia Yi also had her own plans, she wanted to do business in the long run. If she really bought all the Old Lady Chu s, then no one else would be able to taste them.

Just after noon, all the Red Bean Cake s were sold out, leaving only a few to try their luck, Xia Yi also sent all of them out, and told them that a new Red Bean Cake would be published tomorrow morning.

After settling the transaction, the Red Bean Cake was sold for a total of 28 gold. The cost of buying the red beans and flour was only a few gold coins and the remaining 20 gold coins were pure profit.

Other than giving Xia Changsheng a commission, Xia Yi still had sixteen gold.

It wasn't a very large sum, but it was a good start.

Xia Yi believed that it would only get better and better in the future.
