General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming Chapter 20: Business

Chapter 20: Business

"Jin Ji."

"No way, Sister? Are you going to sell the pancakes to Jin Ji?"

If it was before yesterday, she might have tried this. However, after experiencing the incident at Rongen Hall, she understood that a small village girl like her was not worthy of these shops.

"Let's go opposite Jin Ji."

Su Ergou was dumbfounded. "Sister, Jin Ji sells snacks! How many have set up shop to compete with Jin Ji only to close down? Can we win against Jin Ji?"

Su Xiaoxiao said casually, "s.n.a.t.c.h business? You're overthinking. We cant sell to that many people with two baskets of pancakes. However, it's good that you have this ambition. Perhaps one day, we can really s.n.a.t.c.h business from Jin Ji."

Su Ergou muttered, "Sister, why do you like to daydream more than me?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "Alright, we'll find out soon."

In ancient times, there were no city enforcement officers. As long as they did not block the entrance of the shop, they could usually set up stalls where they liked. Of course, if they affected the operation of the shop, they would be chased away by the shop owners.

The jewelry shop opposite Jin Ji opened late. It was the right time to set up a stall.

The first pot of osmanthus cake was about to be ready. There was a long line at the door.

The more Su Ergou looked at them, the more he felt that he might not be able to sell any of them today.

Su Xiaoxiao found a suitable spot and took out the biscuit.

They didn't have a stall. Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao made a bamboo sieve tray around her neck.

The golden pastry was placed neatly on the tray. If it were any other vendor, they might not have attracted much attention.

But Su Xiaoxiao was a 200-pound fatty!

Who would walk over and not look at her twice?

Even those who were waiting in line for Jin's snacks couldn't help but look at her frequently.

"Sister, let me serve the pancakes," said Su Ergou.

"No need. You have another mission." Su Xiaoxiao picked up a pastry and handed it to Su Ergou. "Eat."

Su Ergou: "Aren't we selling it?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "You don't understand. This is called eating broadcast."

Su Ergou was speechless.

Su Ergou was already used to his sister's abnormal behavior after she broke her head. Since his sister wanted him to eat it, he would eat it.

When he was on the third pancake, a young girl finally couldn't take it anymore. She pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to eat that."

The mother and daughter walked forward.

The woman asked, "How much are your pancakes?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Ten copper coins for one. There are three flavors. The one with white sesame has red bean filling, the one with black sesame has dried vegetable meat filling, and the one with double sesame has green bean filling."

The woman frowned and said, "Meat buns are only two copper coins each. You're selling a palm-sized pancake for ten copper coins. It's too expensive!"

Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently, "There's a lot of sugar. It's very sweet. There's meat in the dried plum vegetables and there's a lot of filling."

In ancient times, sugar was expensive. The cost was obvious. This was already the price of conscience.

"Why don't you try it first? You can buy it if it's delicious."

"Ah…"

The woman was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao wrapped her hand in clean gauze and cut three pancakes. She let the woman and her child try a small piece of each flavor.

"Mom! It's delicious!"

For once, the woman did not retort.

She thought that the snacks sold by a village girl would not taste good, but who knew that it was so delicious?

Moreover, she noticed that Little Fatty's actions when cutting the pancakes were very clean.

"Two of each," the woman said.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a clean bamboo leaf pancake. "I'll give you an extra one since you're our first customer. Which flavor do you want?"

"Which one do you like best?" the woman asked her daughter.

The little girl said straightforwardly, "I like them all!"

"Give me one with dried plum vegetables," the woman said.

"Alright." Su Xiaoxiao handed the wrapped biscuit to the woman.

The woman took out her purse.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Ergou, collect the money."

Looking at the 60 copper coins that suddenly appeared in his bag, Su Ergou found it unbelievable.

How long had it been? He had already earned so much?

It was even faster than him and his father going from house to house to extort money!

Everyone saw the reaction of the mother and daughter. Some people suspected that it was an act, while others were genuinely curious.

Suddenly, a young scholar in the team at the entrance of Jin Ji shouted, "Aiya! It's her!"

The companion in front of him turned his head and asked, "Who is it?"

"I asked you to come to Jin Ji with me yesterday, but you didn't come. You missed it!" The scholar pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "She's the fat village girl I told you about who saved the choking child!"

"Ah, that's right! It's her!"

The person who said this was the old man who had just bought his first box of snacks.

He was also there when Su Xiaoxiao saved the child.

The scholar smiled and said, "I'll go buy her pancakes!"

His companion panicked. "Hey! It's our turn in another two hours! We've been queuing for almost an hour!"

The scholar ignored him and went across the street without looking back.

"Lady, do you remember me?"

"We've met?"

"Okay. I was upstairs yesterday, and you were in the lobby. You were busy saving people, so you probably didn't see me."

Su Xiaoxiao understood. It was a guest of Jin Ji.

The scholar patted the folding fan in his hand and said, "Your pancakes look very ordinary. Jin Ji also has such pancakes."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "But mine is better."

"Ha!" The scholar laughed. He was not mocking her, but he simply felt that this little fat village girl was a little cute.

"If it tastes bad, I'll buy it too since I respect you as a heroine! Give me ten!"

Su Xiaoxiao wrapped ten for him.

The scholar was puzzled. "Why didn't you give me one? The lady only bought six just now."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "That's business. If you come first tomorrow, I'll give you one even if you only buy one."

The scholar was not greedy for a snack. He did not expect it to be delicious. He was just teasing her.

He wouldn't come tomorrow!

Thinking of something, he asked, "Does your pancake have a name? Jin Ji's is called Supiao."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Wife Cake."

The scholar was speechless.

… .

The snacks sold more smoothly than expected. In less than an hour, all 100 pancakes were sold.

If they had gone to the market, they would not be able to sell it so quickly.

After all, she had set a high price. The commoners who went to the market might not be willing to spend ten copper coins on a small snack.

Of course, Jin Ji's customers were not short of money. If she made hers cheaper than Jin Ji's, there would not be so many people buying it.

In addition, she had the aura of saving people and also earned the trust of her customers.

Finally, there was a small gimmick—the name of the puff pastry.

Wife Cake. How novel.

Due to the limitations of her cooking tools, the pancakes she made were very different from the ones in her previous life.

However, for ancient people who had never eaten all kinds of preservatives and additives, the taste of this pastry was already very wonderful.

When they closed the stall, Su Ergou smiled slyly. "Sister, guess how many copper coins we earned today?"
