Just like this, Cheng Feng weighed the scales and Fool packed the bags. This work was not tiring at all. What they were doing was originally a small local stall business. Everything they bought was relatively simple to make. Once you get used to it, it would be quick.

Because they come back early every day, they have plenty of time, and they don't have to stay up late.

I went to the city the next day. Although their products were sold at street stalls, they were not cheap. Just these melon seeds were twice as expensive as others.

For several days, people lined up to buy their melon seeds. They used to sell popsicles and no one was jealous, but they became jealous when they saw the long line of melon seeds. Everyone disliked Cheng Feng and Fool.

But with Cheng Feng here, most people don't dare to cause trouble. Today, a bolder person came. He is the owner of a shop. He mainly sells melon seeds, peanuts, and frozen pears and persimmons.

His own business was robbed and he came to make trouble, because this man must be [-] meters tall, broad-shouldered, and not a reasonable person at first glance. He came over with a scale and said to the people in line: "Look Look, their house is short of a pound. These are the melon seeds I just bought from them. I haven’t unpacked them yet. When I bought them, they said they were one pound. Look, it’s eight ounces.”

He held the scale and showed it to everyone one by one.

Some people said, "No, I bought something from this kid, and she even gave me something as a gift."

This sabotaging man said: "You know people, they know faces, but you don't know their hearts. You guys have been fooled and you don't even know it."

Cheng Feng was about to get angry a long time ago because the fool stopped her. She knew whether their melon seeds were short of a pound or two. They also brought out scales every day. If there were any that needed to be weighed, she would still weigh them and show them to the guests. Yes, so she is the one who is innocent. She doesn't want to fight with others because of Cheng Feng who makes trouble. Cheng Feng is so cruel. What if he misses.

Just when everyone was doubtful, the fool took a bag of melon seeds and said, "Then do you dare to weigh it and let everyone see whether it is eight taels or one catty?"

The man said: "If you don't dare, just put it on the scale."

The man picked up the scale and said, "Eight taels, if you don't believe me, just look at it." At this time, everyone gathered around, and there were many people watching the excitement.

The fool said, "Everyone, keep an eye on it." The fool picked out a piece of something from his scale, and the scale rod suddenly tilted over.

The fool said: "Each of my packages is one pound, just a little more. If you don't believe it, you can use my scale. My scale has not been tampered with." Then the fool pointed at the man in front of him and said: "I I would like to remind you that when you go to their store to buy melon seeds in the future, first check if there are any magnets under the scale plate."

At this time, a person said: "I went to their house to buy things, but the scale was not enough and the things were not good."

When the man saw that he was seen through, he wanted to hit him. At this time, Cheng Feng pulled the fool behind him. Cheng Feng said, "I won't be polite if you make trouble again."

People queuing up to buy things said, "You are evil-minded. My children are selling well. Why are you here to cause trouble?"

One person said: "It makes you jealous when you see other people making money. All the money is made by your family."

Another person said: "We have been waiting in line for a while, and you, a liar, ran away and falsely accused someone else of being a liar. Little girl, don't be afraid. If he dares to make trouble with you, report it to the police and I will bear witness for you."

Another person said: "I can also testify."

One person after another supported the fool, and the man had no choice but to run away.

When the fool saw that the person had left, he said, "Thanks to everyone today, otherwise my stall might have been destroyed by him. In order to thank everyone, I will charge five cents less for each package of melon seeds."

Everyone applauded.

"Give me three packets, I'll keep them for the New Year."

"Give me two packs."

Originally, I couldn't sell so many melon seeds, but because of this troublemaker, I sold twice as many melon seeds, which was a blessing in disguise.

Recently, when they go back every day, the goods they bring are almost sold, and not much is left.

That day the fool asked Cheng Feng: "How long until the New Year?"

Cheng Feng said: "It's only been a month."

The fool said: "Will we not be able to sell popsicles after the Chinese New Year?"

Cheng Feng said: "There is another first month after the New Year, but few people go out to buy things in the first month. After the first month, people will become more civilized. You will definitely not be able to buy popsicles. Melon seeds and sugar are also considered new year's goods, and they will definitely not sell as well as usual. This month before the year was better.”

Cheng Feng reminded Fool when he mentioned that the New Year's goods had arrived, and Fool said, "Let's make some New Year's goods?"

Cheng Feng said: "What we sell are all New Year's goods, what else can we sell?"

The fool said: "Do you have to give gifts during the Chinese New Year? Let's make something that can give gifts."

Cheng Feng said: "What else can we do?"

The fool said: "Let's make some gift boxes, make some snowflake cakes, donkey-hide gelatin, and buy some nice wrapping paper to wrap them in gift boxes."

She can't make anything else, but snowflake cakes and donkey-hide gelatin are easy to make. She often made them in modern times, mainly because she was good at them.

Cheng Feng didn't know what the fool was talking about, but if it could be sold as a gift, it should have sold a lot that year. Cheng Feng said: "Then let's buy it back tomorrow if you need anything. But you Is this snowflake cake and donkey-hide gelatin easy to make?"

The fool nodded and said, "It's easy to do, but I can't do anything difficult."

Cheng Feng now has no doubts about what the fool said.

So the two people closed the stall the next day and bought a lot of things, including a black donkey skin. Cheng Feng asked in confusion: "What are you buying a donkey skin for?"

The fool said: "You can't make donkey hide gelatin without donkey skin."

After returning home, Idiot has made a lot of popsicles, fried hawthorns fried with sugar, and wrapped them one by one. Cheng Feng's donkey skin hasn't been packed out yet.

The fool didn't wait for him anymore and began to make the candies by himself. The main reason was that the cutting was not very good and it was a bit laborious. This job was done by Cheng Feng every day, so today she had to do it.

This candy can be sold for several days once it is made. Unlike popsicles, you have to make some every day. Whichever flavor sells faster will be replenished. However, sugar-fried hawthorn has to be made every day.

She was packing the candies when Cheng Feng came in: "The donkey skin has been processed, what to do next."

The fool thought for a moment and said, "I don't need the pot in the kitchen. You boil the donkey skin in the pot, and free up the pot outside to fry the melon seeds."

This donkey-hide gelatin cannot be made today. Tomorrow's business cannot be delayed just because we make donkey-hide gelatin.

Because the pot outside was very big, and Idiot was too small. She, with her short arms and short legs, couldn't fry such a large pot of melon seeds. She could only help Cheng Feng, get a bamboo sieve or something, and a lot of work had to be done by others. Cheng Fengqian.

It was getting dark before the melon seeds were fried.

There is so much work that even if you want to go to bed early, you can't do it. Every night the two of them do packing. The work is not tiring but it requires time and endurance.

The next day they went to the city to set up a stall and found that there were more and more people in the city. The fool asked Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng, why do I feel that there are more and more people in the city these days?"

Cheng Feng said: "Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is out buying new year's goods."

The fool said unconvincingly: "Do you have to buy New Year's goods one month in advance?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "That's it. Every family has a large population, so they have to buy New Year's goods in advance."

The fool nodded and said, "Then our snowflake cake and donkey-hide gelatin must be made tonight."

The fool thought that just like in modern times, when the New Year was approaching, she would just buy some things and celebrate the New Year. She was not in a hurry yet.

After a while, they saw people from their village coming to the city to buy things. Two people came forward to talk to Cheng Feng and Fool: "Fool Cheng Feng, do you set up a stall here every day?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Basically come every day."

"Is business good?"

Cheng Feng said: "It's okay, I can earn some money to eat and drink. Are you here to buy new year's goods?"

"Well, we want to buy some New Year's goods, pull out a few feet of cloth, and make new clothes for our children."

It's morning at this time, and they must have arrived earlier than the people buying things, so they haven't opened yet.

The idiot didn't know these two people, nor had he seen them before. She didn't talk to her either. She was wearing a Lei Feng hat, a thick scarf, and a sheepskin coat that reached to her feet. She had her hands folded in the cuffs, revealing a pair of eyes. He didn't even look at these two people, but looked ahead, waiting for customers to come and buy things, acting like a little adult.

As for the people in the village, she couldn't tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. They were not surprised when the fool ignored them, because the fool didn't speak before, and they all said she could speak, but many people I still haven't heard it with my own ears. People in the village say that even if a fool speaks, he won't be much smarter.

Not long after these two people left, Fool came to the business. Many of her customers were repeat customers. Old customers led to new customers. Others would come over to take a look when they saw someone buying. If they thought it was okay, they would buy some to take home to try.

But no one in the village would buy anything from a fool, because the prices of the things she sells are high, and no one would spend that money.

After waiting for the busiest period, Cheng Feng said to the fool: "Go and look at the clothes. The Chinese New Year is almost here, and you have to buy two new clothes."

The fool said, "Don't worry, it's still early for the Chinese New Year." Even though she had bought new clothes, she didn't have time to wear them. Once her coat blocked her, she couldn't see anything.

Cheng Feng said: "Then I'll go take a look."

The fool said: "Okay, go ahead."

After a while, Cheng Feng came back with a big package. The fool took a look and realized that this big package couldn't be clothes, it didn't look like it, so she asked Cheng Feng: "What did you buy? "

Cheng Feng said: "I bought a set of bedding. When the bed is ready, we will use this set."

The fool nodded, because she didn't want to do it, so she didn't open it to see what it looked like. She said to Cheng Feng, "Look at the stall. I'll buy some wrapping paper. Let's make donkey-hide gelatin and snowflake cakes in the evening, and wrap them nicely."

Cheng Feng nodded, because the shop was on this street, not very far from here. The fool went in for a long time before coming out. If she didn't come out, Cheng Feng would have to go find her.
