Crispy little husband

Su Xin had no choice but to try to persuade: "Aunt Chun, except for people who know me very well, other people will not think of me as a brother when they see me like this. There are not many people in Chong'an County who know me, so there will be nothing wrong with it." affected."

However, reality often backfires. At noon, Su Xin spent a lot of effort to persuade Aunt Chun. In the afternoon and evening, when Tang Ji was about to close the door, he was recognized.

At that time, it was almost time to close the door, but Su Xin didn't know that it was only the next day that someone brought trouble to Tang Ji.

Of course, Su Xin doesn't know that he will be recognized. After lunch, Su Xin insists on going to Tang Ji. Aunt Chun, like Dong Dong, can't persuade him. Going to Tang Ji, we must find a way to persuade the second young master to come back.

Before this, after a whole morning of publicity for Tang Ji's candy, more and more people knew about it. Those who bought the candy in the morning also helped to spread the reputation of the candy.

Not to mention that they feel from the bottom of their hearts that the taste of the candy is much better than ordinary caramel, but the words on the candy and the high price of the candy, most of the people who bought the candy and went back advertised it among the neighbors. , Show off a bit.

But the woman who took her child out to buy vegetables in the morning, and was so pestered by the child that she couldn't buy a catty of sweets, she belonged to the minority.

She didn't think about promoting it in the neighbors, because she was worried that the candy would not be able to keep after she said it, and she would give the big guys a taste.

So she bought the vegetables and hurried home, not staying outside for too long, for fear that others would find out that there was such an unusual thing in her basket.

This woman's mother-in-law was gone before she married in. Her husband was the head of the family. Once she married in, she worried about her husband's family affairs.

There is no mother-in-law at the top, and the uncle below has not married a wife, and there is no sister-in-law at home, so this woman is not very worried that she will be said to be a waste of money by spending more than 100 Wen on sweets.

So she hides it outside, and she doesn't have to be so careful when she gets home. She put a plate of candies on the dining table, a total of eight candies, two in each season, and the eight candies are neatly placed on the white porcelain. On the plate, there is an unusual feeling when you look at it.

After a while, the woman's man and his younger brother came back from the outside one after another. The woman's father-in-law, who was illiterate, entered the house and smoked a pipe under the eaves without looking at the food on the table.

However, the woman's man and his younger brother knew some simple characters. The older one was sent to a private school for two years, while the younger one didn't go there and learned at home with his elder brother.

But because they didn't start eating as soon as they entered the house, they didn't look at the food, and they didn't find anything extra on the table today.

After entering the house, the woman's man first hugged his son to tease him, and asked him what toy he wanted, because they would have half a day off today, and he could make a toy for his son in the afternoon.

After being picked up by his father, the child sharply saw the candy on the table that he ate today and thought it was very delicious, and screamed: "Daddy, Tangtang!"

The excited voice of the child finally made the men who entered the door notice the unusual plate of candy on the table. The literate brothers looked at the candy and found that there were words on the candy, which was very unusual.

The old man who was smoking a pipe outside the house was attracted in, looked at the exquisite candies with words on the table, and said in surprise: "This thing is candy?"

"Grandpa, Tangtang, sweet!" The child thought that grandpa didn't know it was sugar, so he introduced it excitedly.

The woman wiped her hands and entered the room with the last dish of vegetables: "When I took Yuan'er to buy vegetables today, I came across a newly opened shop. I saw the words on the candy, buy a catty and get one or two free, so I bought it." Come back with a catty, you can taste it quickly, if the taste is not good, I can take it back to find them."

The woman thought that the candy was not cheap after all, so she didn't say the price of the candy at first, and waited for the men who made money at home to taste it first, and said after they had tasted it.

Men don't pay too much attention to the price of things. You can just eat a little thing like this, and don't think too much about it.

The man picked up a piece: "The words on it are exactly the same as those in the book. I really don't know how to get the words into the candy. It makes people reluctant to eat it."

Saying that they were reluctant, they each reached out to take a favorite color and put it in their mouths.

The child looked at his father eagerly, hoping that his father would give him a piece of candy.

The woman stopped immediately: "You can't give Yuan'er any more candy, he has already eaten three in the morning, if he eats any more, he won't be able to eat anymore."

Being deprived of the opportunity to eat sweets, the child was so angry that he cried, the woman quickly stuffed him with a piece of pancake and gagged the child's mouth.

The taste of candy has won unanimous praise from the whole family, especially the woman's man.

He felt that the candies were quite exquisite and beautiful, so he quietly discussed with his brother after eating: New Year is coming soon, they should sell a few catties of candies to the steward this year, and continue to give them to the two brothers next year Divide more profitable work.

Whether it is the taste or the appearance, it is hard to be picky about the sweets. The two brothers also ate several other flavors of sweets. They think that the idea is good, the things are novel, and the price is not cheap, which is not inferior to the pastries.

If others hadn't thought of this gift, they might have left a better impression on the steward by sending candies.

After deciding to give candy to the steward, the man called his wife to ask carefully, and learned that the candy cost a full 120 renminbi a catty.

If it is eaten by the family, the 120 Wen candy is too expensive, and there are not many yuan for a catty of sugar. If there are many people in the family, one yuan per person will be gone soon, but if it is bought as a gift for the manager, then the price is not expensive.

Although it is more expensive than ordinary pastries, it also looks more unusual than ordinary pastries.

After summing up, the two brothers gritted their teeth and took five hundred Wen, and bought a catty of Sijizi candy, and quietly sent them to the steward's house that afternoon.

As for the candy from Tang Ji, they took it home and put it on display during the Chinese New Year.

In the eyes of the steward who is living a good life, candy is not a rare item, but if there are words in the candy, it is different, and it stands out from the crowd in a kind of pastry.

Thinking that the two brothers are literate and reliable in their daily work, the steward took care of the two brothers and planned to arrange easier work for them next year.

The two brothers are in charge of no one but the general manager of the Yao family village outside Chong'an County. Although the workers can rest this afternoon, he can't rest because Mrs. Yao may come to live in the village during the Chinese New Year. After a period of time of cleanliness, he has to get Zhuangzi cleaned up.

So, after receiving the candies from the two brothers, the steward put the candies aside, planning to take them home later.

When the steward got the Zitang, he heard that there were more and more customers coming to Tangji to buy Zitang. Su Xin was a little overwhelmed, because there would be chaos in the store when there were more customers.

Those customers who bought candies in the morning with the mentality of giving it a try, many of them came back in the afternoon with more money and bought more candies than in the morning.

Some of them, like the two brothers who gave gifts to the steward, thought of buying this new type of candy as a gift.

Some family members like it after eating it. They think it tastes good, and it looks fresh and festive. In addition, I will give away candy when I buy candy at Tangji today.

The number of people who came to Tang Ji increased, and people who passed by who were not interested at first also wanted to go in and see what it was selling that made so many people enter this shop.

When there were more people, the shop became a little chaotic. Tang Dong hurriedly put the tasting plate in his hand into Liangzi's hand, and turned to Su Xin to help, helping to maintain order outside the counter and let the guests line up.

Before the opening, Su Xin and Aunt Chun worked hard for nearly ten days, making candies every day. Each kind of candy made about two hundred catties, and the total was close to one thousand catties.

Candy is expensive, and Tang Ji is a newly opened store with no reputation. I thought it would be enough to sell it for a while. After all, Chong'an County is not big, and there are not many customers who can buy candy.

As a result, unexpectedly, at the end of the afternoon, a man with two beards and a very shrewd person came to Tang Ji, and bought two hundred catties of candies in one go, fifty catties of each kind of candy, and bought them away. Almost a quarter of what they prepared.

In addition, about 300 catties were sold one after another in the morning and afternoon, and more than half of the nearly [-] catties of candy had been sold. If the reputation of the candy continues to spread in the next two days, more people will come to buy it, I don’t know These word candies are enough to sell for a few days.

Director Tang saw that most of the people who left Tang Ji would carry candies wrapped in oiled paper, he was both happy and worried, thinking that he could not let Su Xin go to the shop tomorrow and let Su Xin continue making candies at home. Don't be so nervous.

Candy is so expensive that it sells well, not to mention Tang Ji’s peanuts and melon seeds of various flavors. Peanuts and melon seeds, which are much cheaper than candy, are sold in more quantities. The two people responsible for weighing and packaging They took turns taking baskets and baskets out of the warehouse at the back.

Tang Ji’s products are not necessarily the cheapest, but on the day of the opening, you will get free gifts. This is always very touching. If you see that others have bought a lot, if you don’t buy it, you will feel that you will lose if you don’t buy it. Same.

At the end of the day, he was busier than he imagined. Su Xin didn't have the time to chat with others to understand what flavors the public likes in this era. His hands kept weighing and packing, and his mind kept counting money.

It was sold until it was almost dinner time, when the sky was getting dark, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and when there were only a hundred catties of candy left, Tang Ji's business would slow down.

At this moment, a servant from the Su residence hurried over. He came here because he had heard that a new type of candy was sold here. The housekeeper thought that the masters of the family had been in a bad mood, so he asked him to buy some new candy. Go back and see if you can please the masters.
