Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Yan Bugui pulled the third aunt aside and whispered, "Yang Ruihua, don't you think Yu Li is a little silly? She only charges the cost price for the flower buns."

"The Lin family is not short of money. It's rare that the little girl from the Lin family likes it. Just name a high price. I think Donglai will buy it."

The third aunt was also puzzled by her daughter-in-law Yu Li's behavior. She spent a lot of time and energy to make the flower steamed bun, but it was too much of a loss to just charge the cost.

She wanted to ask Yu Li what she was thinking, but she couldn't call her away because she was enthusiastically introducing the New Year's goods on the table to her neighbors.

The third aunt looked at Yu Li's busy figure, turned to Yan Bugui and said, "Old man, we have to find a chance to ask Yu Li what she is thinking later."

Yan Bugui nodded, with a hint of helplessness on his face: "That's right, our daughter-in-law is sometimes too honest. My dear, you have to be more careful and don't let her waste her efforts."

The lively atmosphere in the yard continued, and the neighbors praised the red date cakes and flower buns on the table.

With her enthusiastic invitation, two families have already asked her to help make flower-shaped steamed buns and red dates. Yu Li is so happy that she can't stop smiling.

The third aunt and Yan Bugui were anxiously waiting for an opportunity to find out what Yu Li was thinking.

They looked at Yu Li from time to time, thinking about how to ask later.

Finally, when the neighbors' enthusiasm had subsided a little, the third aunt hurried to Yu Li's side and said softly, "Yu Li, Mom has something to ask you."

Yu Li looked at the third aunt with some doubt and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

The third aunt pointed at the flower bun on the table and said, "Why do you only charge the cost price? Our flower bun is so good, and the Lin family is not short of money, you can definitely ask for a high price."

Yu Li listened to what the third aunt said, smiled slightly, and said: "Mom, I know you are doing this for the good of our family, but I think that neighbors should not be too greedy."

"Besides, Dongyi likes this flower bun so much, and I don't want to disappoint her because the price is too high."

"Besides, we make these New Year products mainly to earn hard work fees. We don't expect to make much money from selling a flower bun occasionally."

"The important thing is to make everyone recognize our craftsmanship. Maybe we will get more business in the future."

Yu Li's explanation was very logical. After listening to her explanation, although the third aunt still felt it was a bit regrettable, she also understood Yu Li's idea.

She nodded and said, "Okay, you have a point. But if this happens again in the future, we still have to discuss it and not be too casual."

Yu Li glanced at Yan Bugui, who was listening to their conversation, and said obediently, "I know, Mom. I will think about it more in the future."

When Xu Damao heard the noise and came to the front yard, it was already very lively here, with many people even outside the yard watching.

He thought someone was having a quarrel or a fight, so he hurried to watch the fun, pushing through the crowd while shouting, "Please make way. I have something urgent to do, please let me pass."

I didn't expect that when I squeezed to the middle, the scene I saw was not what I imagined, so I was naturally a little disappointed.

Yu Li saw Xu Damao squeezed in front of the table and greeted him with a smile: "Xu Damao, are you also here to ask my family to make New Year's goods for you? Do you want to make red date cakes or flower buns?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, looking at the exquisite red date cakes and flower steamed buns on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He curled his lips and said, "I don't have the time to buy any New Year's goods. I'm busy."

Yu Li was not angry either. She still smiled and said, "Then why did you rush in here? I thought you had something urgent to do."

Xu Damao was embarrassed by this. He scratched his head and said, "I thought it would be fun, but I didn't expect you to be selling New Year's goods here."

But your flower bun and red date cake are really good, but I don’t know how they taste. How about giving me one to taste?”

"No!" "I can't give it to you!"

A word that Xu Damao said casually was immediately rejected by two voices, a man and a woman. Yan Bugui and the third aunt walked up to him at the same time.

Yan Bugui adjusted the legs of his glasses and said, "Da Mao, these flower buns and red date cakes made by my Yu Li are just samples. They are mainly for everyone to see her craftsmanship."

"This is today's signature dish. If you really want to eat it, you can only buy it with money."

The third aunt also echoed: "Yes, Damao, you can't just eat this. Our Yu Li spent a lot of effort to make this."

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly after hearing what Yan Bugui and the third aunt said. "Hehe, I was just joking, but you guys took it seriously. I don't really want to eat these flower buns and red date cakes."

"But then again, no one knows whether the red date cakes and flower buns you make are delicious. In my opinion, your business is not going to be very good."

After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and walked back to the backyard.

The meaning is very obvious. It clearly means that the Yan family is stingy and they don't even prepare a sample for everyone to taste. What's the point of just watching?

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Yu Li took Xu Damao's words to heart, and without even discussing it with Aunt Yan Bugui, she started shouting:

"Dear neighbors, I think what Xu Damao said makes sense. It's us who were not thoughtful enough."

"Everyone has seen the red date cakes and flower buns made by my family. They look pretty good, right?" Yu Li said to the people around her with a smile, "Are you more concerned about the taste?"

After hearing what Yu Li said, the onlookers nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it's not enough to just look good. I don't know how it tastes. What if it doesn't taste good? Then the money won't be wasted."

"That's right, if it tastes good, we would also like to ask them to make New Year's goods for us."

Yu Li was delighted to see everyone's reaction, and continued, "Since everyone is so concerned about the taste, I will cut some red date cakes and flower buns for everyone to try."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Li turned around, went back to the house, got a knife, returned to the table, and started cutting the red date cake and flower steamed bun.

When Yan Bugui and the third aunt saw what Yu Li did, it was too late to stop her. They also couldn't say anything in front of so many people.

After a while, Yu Li cut some red date cakes and flower steamed buns and passed them to the people around her.

Everyone took it and tasted it, with satisfied smiles on their faces: "Well, it tastes really good, sweet and fragrant."

"This flower bun is also delicious, soft and cute in shape."

"It's delicious. I won't make it myself this year. I'll ask Yu Li to help make some flower buns."

Hearing everyone's praise, Yu Li showed a proud smile on her face. She knew that her decision was correct.
