After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Chapter 314: My Hands Cramped from Counting Money

Lu Jingchuan looked back at Shen Li every few steps. He was reluctant to leave and stood up and left.

……

After Lu Jingchuan left, Shen Li and the two children sat on the chairs behind the table, waiting for passers-by.

During this time, a passing lady walked over curiously and asked, "What are these things on display... Mei has strawberries... Mei has mangoes? Mei has pineapples, Mei has grapes?"

This name sounds quite fresh.

"How do you sell this and how much is it?" the aunt asked curiously.

Looking at the crystal clear, colorful preserved fruits placed on the small plates and smelling the sour and sweet aroma of the fresh preserved fruits, the auntie was subconsciously swallowing her saliva.

"Auntie, all these flavors are the same price, 2 yuan for half a pound." Shen Li said with a smile.

"What? Half a catty is 2 yuan? That's 5 yuan for a catty!" The aunt's face changed. "Pork is only one yuan for a catty! Why is it so expensive?"

"It's a bit expensive, but there's a reason why it's expensive." Shen Li said with a smile.

"What the hell! I think you are just trying to rip me off!" The old lady snorted coldly, "You are selling it at such a high price, no one will buy it! I advise you to pack up your things and leave!"

"If you don't buy them, there are plenty of people who will." Lu Minghui said with a straight face, "My mother will definitely be able to sell them all!"

"That's right! The preserved fruits in our house are so delicious!" Duoduo said in a baby voice.

When Duoduo thought about how expensive the preserved fruits were, even though she was very greedy, she couldn't bear to eat them.

After all, it costs almost 1 cents to eat one.

She was afraid that her mother would go bankrupt.

"Hmph, it would be strange if anyone bought it!" said the aunt, then she got up and left.

After the old lady left, many people came over and walked around the shop.

Shen Li's beauty itself is an attraction to everyone, plus there are two children sitting next to her. The little girl is wearing a beautiful and fashionable pink princess dress with two pigtails, looking well-behaved and cute. The little boy is wearing a simple white vest, blue pants and sandals, with wheat-colored skin. He sits there meticulously, like a steady little master, handsome and cool. Therefore, the stall attracted many people.

Everyone was very curious about the preserved fruits in the bowl. After all, it was the first time for them to see such a rare thing in that era.

However, when asked about the price, everyone shook their heads and said it was too expensive.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, you get what you pay for. The preserved fruits you see are made from the freshest fruits on the island. One pound of preserved fruits requires at least 10 pounds of fresh fruits. The production cost is listed here."

"Of course, you can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."

"Can I try it?" Some people's eyes lit up when they heard the word "tasting".

"Yes, you can." Shen Li said. She had already prepared it. She prepared a small bowl with four grids. Inside was chopped preserved fruit cubes. Each flavor was placed in a different grid, and some small toothpicks were placed next to it. "Everyone can try it for free once."

Everyone was about to leave, but when they heard about the free tasting, they became excited.

Don't take advantage of me, bastard!

“I want to try it!”

"I also want!"

"I want to eat too!"

"Okay, don't be anxious, just line up one by one." Shen Li smiled.

The first one to try the fruit was a little boy. He was held in his grandmother's arms. After he opened his mouth and ate a small piece of preserved fruit, his eyes widened in disbelief. He swallowed the preserved fruit mixed with saliva, "It's delicious! Grandma, I want more!"

"But this is too expensive..."

"Wow... I want to eat, I want to eat!" The little boy struggled out of his grandmother's arms using his hands and feet, and kept patting his grandmother's shoulders and face with his hands.

It is said that the older generation is close to each other, and this old lady is no exception. She compromised helplessly, "Okay, little ancestor, I'm really afraid of you, so why not buy it for you!"

But it's too expensive per pound.

"Lady, please give me half a pound." The old lady said helplessly.

"Okay." Shen Li said with a smile, "What flavor do you want to buy?"

"This..." The old lady was also unclear and looked at her grandson.

When the grandson heard that he was buying delicious food for himself, he immediately stopped making a fuss and said, "I want to try it too!"

"My dear! Our family doesn't have that much money!" said the old lady with a stern face.

"I'll pack you a half-pound mixed pack with all four flavors." Shen Li said with a chuckle.

"Okay." The old lady took out two towels worth five yuan from her pocket and handed them to Shen Li.

Lu Minghui stood up to take the money, while Duoduo, wearing a disposable transparent five-finger glove on her hands, helped Shen Li to grab the preserved fruits.

Soon, the fruits were weighed and Shen Li handed them the preserved fruits.

"Take a look!" For the sake of her mother's business, Duoduo took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, put her little hand to her mouth and shouted like a small trumpet, "Super delicious preserved fruit!"

Seeing some people trying the food and buying it, the rest of the people also came over to try it.

Some people just want to give it a try, but they didn’t expect that after taking a bite, they would find that it tastes so good!

"Give me half a pound!"

"I want half a pound too!"

"We have a promotion for preserved fruits. Buy one pound and get one pound free. Buy two pounds and get half a pound free." Shen Li said.

"Give me two pounds!"

"I want two pounds too!"

"I'll take a pound!"

For a moment, everyone gathered around the stall, scrambling to buy.

Soon, all the preserved fruits on the stall were sold out.

People who had queued up to try the food wanted to buy it, but it was already sold out.

“When will you set up the stall again?” Those who didn’t buy anything felt a little regretful.

"If you want to buy, you can pay a deposit today. I will continue to set up the stall here tomorrow, and those who have paid the deposit can come to pick up the goods. This way, you don't have to queue and can buy directly." Shen Li said.

"I will set up the stall here for three days. After three days, I will not continue to set up the stall."

"This preserved fruit is produced on our island. It is produced by the army on the island. In three days, we will cooperate with several large supermarkets in the town. If you want to buy some, you can contact the supermarket to ask if they have our preserved fruit."

"Okay, then I'll pay the deposit!"

"I'll hand it in too!"

Those who tried the food paid a deposit one by one.

Shen Li gave everyone who paid a deposit a specially made small card with a number and the island logo printed on it. When the time comes, everyone can come to collect the preserved fruits with the small card.

The two children’s hands were almost cramped from collecting money, and their little faces were covered in sweat from being so busy.
