The older woman took the seeds from Zhang Qin’s hand with a doubtful look. The seeds were indeed very fragrant. After she ate some, her eyes lit up.
“It’s so delicious! What you’re selling is really too delicious!” the older woman said excitedly.
When Li Gui saw the older woman’s reaction, she felt more and more confident. Soon, someone came by to ask about the price.
“How much do these seeds cost?” a young man asked.
Li Gui said, “50 cents per cup!”
When the young man heard this, his reaction was exactly the same as the older woman. He turned around and was about to leave when the older woman suddenly said excitedly, “Young man, come and take a look at the seeds! These are delicious! I guarantee you! They’re definitely delicious!”
Zhang Qin immediately took out some seeds from her bag and handed them over. The young man tasted a few and pointed at the seeds. “Not bad! Give me two cups.”
Li Gui handed the seeds to the young man excitedly. This could be considered her first sale.
After her first sale, the seeds became more and more popular. Before the morning ended, Li Gui had sold out 40 pounds of seeds. Zhang Wei grabbed the empty bag and ran happily in the alley.
At night, they used the same method to sell outside the cinema, but they did not have as smooth an experience as when they were at the train station.
As usual, that peddler stood at his original spot to sell seeds. His location was the best in the area near the cinema. As long as one wanted to go in to watch a movie, one must walk past him.
Li Gui did not know where she could stand, so she hawked her goods at the spot opposite the cinema door.
“Seeds! Does anyone want to buy seeds? Fragrant seeds!” Zhang Qin and Zhang Wei shouted with all their might.
When the peddler heard this, he immediately walked over and said, “Who says you can set up a stall here!”
Li Gui looked around and saw that everyone simply set up their stalls at random spots. She did not block cars or people at this spot, so was it that she could not set up a stall here?
“We’re not allowed to set up a stall here?” Li Gui asked.
“It’s not that you can’t set it up, but you can’t shout. How can the rest of us do business if you shout like this? If everyone is like you, won’t it be a mess?” The peddler simply gave nonsensical reasons.
Zhang Qin pointed at an old man selling popcorn in the distance and said, “But that grandpa is also shouting. Why can’t we do it if he can?”
The peddler glared at Zhang Qin fiercely. Zhang Qin was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Zhang Wei. She was only telling the truth. She was not in the wrong.
“Little girl, you’re quite bold. I don’t care. In any case, you have to listen to me if you want to be here. You can’t shout!” the peddler said rudely.
“Big brother, look at this spot. It’s really not a very strategic location. If we don’t shout, no one will know we’re here. Or can we move forward?” Li Gui said nicely.
The peddler did not care about what she said at all. If Li Gui had a capable husband, he would not need her to bring the children out to work. She was definitely a person who was easy to bully.
“No! Don’t say anything else! You can’t shout and you can’t come forward!” After saying that, the peddler returned to the entrance of the cinema and continued selling his things.
Zhang Wei suddenly ran into the alley at the side and only reappeared after a long time. Li Gui looked at Zhang Wei listlessly and asked, “Where did you run off to again?”
“Mom, let’s go and sell in the alley! I went to check out the surroundings. If people want to go to the cinema, they have to walk through that alley!” Zhang Wei said with a grin.
Li Gui’s hope was ignited again. She hurriedly moved the stall over. The human traffic here was busier than at the entrance of the cinema, but the location was also very dangerous. If she was caught, she would not be able to escape.
A young couple came to Li Gui’s stall. The woman smiled at Zhang Qin and said, “How much are the seeds?”
“Sister~ It costs 50 cents a cup~” Zhang Qin put on her cute smile. Her innocent appearance instantly attracted the woman’s attention.
“It’s so expensive… Can’t it be cheaper?” the woman said awkwardly.
She really wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive. She had only just started dating this man. If she bought a cup of seeds for 50 cents without a second thought, she would probably leave a bad impression on him.
Zhang Qin used her old trick again. She grabbed a handful of seeds from her bag and stretched out her hand. “Please try some! Our seeds are definitely different!”
