I sold snacks in ancient times

In the evening, it is usually the time when the market has the most people.The scorching sun in summer is unbearable, and ordinary people are reluctant to go out.If you go out for a walk in the afternoon, you are afraid that you will be sweaty all over, and you will have to take a shower when you get home, which is a waste of water.

The Xia Xing snack specialty store became popular again.Compared with the grand rush of buying in the afternoon, taking advantage of the dim sky, there was a long queue at the door at this time.

"Hey, it's Awei, what are you doing here?" The old man on crutches couldn't help feeling stunned as he looked at the queue that almost occupied the entire street.

The man named Awei was a middle-aged man. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Lei wants to eat candy every day, so I'll come and buy it for her."

The old man was surprised: "What kind of candy?! There is such a long queue..."

"I don't know too well. I heard from others that this store sells a kind of toffee called Big White Rabbit, which children love to eat. Look, you can try it in front of it. Grandpa, how about you help me?" Line up here, I'll go to the front and get a piece for you to try."

The old man waved his hand, leaning on crutches, he wanted to leave, "Grandpa lost all his teeth, what candy can you eat... buy more, and satisfy Xiaolei's hunger."

I don't know how long I waited in line, until it was dark and the pawnshops nearby were closed, and it was the man's turn.He hammered his sore legs, walked into the store, and heard the waiter in the store say enthusiastically: "Dear guest officer, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, what would you like to order? This way please."

The man froze for a moment, then said, "I want that big white rabbit toffee..."

"Yes, this one is still in stock." The waiter in the shop led him into the house and said, "There are fifty yuan in a small bag, and there are also eighty yuan in a big bag, which one do you choose? There is only the last bag left. .”

The man looked back at the empty shelves that seemed to have been ransacked, and couldn't help muttering, "Why is sugar so expensive?"

The shop clerk didn't look down on him because of these words, he reached out to pick up the plate from the tasting table, handed it to the man, and said with a smile, "Try it."

The man thought to himself, it's free anyway, so he picked up a small grain and put it in his mouth.The milky white candy melted in his mouth, and the sweet but not greasy taste spread. At this moment, he felt that his daughter Xiaolei would definitely like this kind of candy.

After waiting in line for such a long time, buy more, buy it back and give it to my wife to try.

Thinking of this, the man made up his mind and said, "Please give me a pack of 80 Wen candies."

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you!"

In the end, the man obviously paid a price dozens of times higher than he expected, but happily left with the paper bag.

Not long after that, the snacks in the store were completely sold out.Originally, the shipment was two full days' worth, but I didn't expect the business to be so hot at the beginning of the opening, and they were all sold out.

There was still a long queue at the door.Seeing this, Wang Kui asked a strong and strong waiter to tell the guests that the goods were out of stock today and asked them to come back tomorrow.

Everyone lined up for nearly half an hour, so they were not willing to stop.

"There must be some goods in your warehouse, hurry up and sell them!" Someone insisted that the store was lying.

"That's right, such a big store must have something in stock. We've been waiting in line for such a long time, how can we just let it go!"

"Hurry up and sell it! If you don't sell it today, I won't leave!"

Wang Kui who heard all this: "..."

If it weren't for a few waiters at the door to hold back their hands, maybe those customers would rush in and make trouble.

After a while, a strong waiter in a disheveled shop with egg shells and stinky cabbage leaves on his head came in, and said with a mournful face, "Young Master Wang, they are not leaving."

To be honest, at such an advanced age, it was the first time that Wang Kui had seen so many people forcing shopkeepers to sell things.After thinking about it, he came to an idea. The reason why the people outside the door complained was because they had waited in line for so long but got nothing. It would be really unfair if they had to wait in line for such a long time tomorrow.

So he asked, "How many paper bags are left in the warehouse?"

The waiter guarding the warehouse said casually: "There are too many boxes. I asked someone to order several boxes last time, but I haven't used much today."

"Okay." Wang Kui ordered: "Now you go to the warehouse to get paper bags, and everyone who is queuing outside will give out one."

The waiter from the Qiangqiang shop said weakly: "Young Master Wang, even if you give me a paper bag, they probably won't leave..."

As the saying goes, a lot of people is powerful, and now there are dozens of people around, if there is trouble, there are only a few men in the store who can't stand it.

"It's okay, I'll tell them later, you go and get it first."

When the waiter in the store brought the paper bag, Wang Kui walked out a few steps ahead of him.A torch was burning at the entrance of the store, illuminating the small half of the street extremely brightly.

Some of the crowd were loyal customers of Xia Xing's Tavern. They recognized his face and hurriedly shouted: "This is Xia Xing's boss! Ask him to give us an explanation!"

"Huh... the shopkeeper finally came out."

"My mother's feet are sore."

Wang Kuiqing coughed a few times and said, "I know everyone loves Xia Xing and supports Xia Xing very much, but the store has indeed run out of stock preparations today. I'm very sorry. I didn't expect the business to be so hot, so I didn't fully prepare."

After what he said, everyone believed it to a certain extent.After all, the scene has reached this point, and the boss wants to calm things down as soon as possible.It's probably out of stock.

Yet they were still reluctant to leave.After queuing for such a long time, I can't do anything, it's a blood loss...

Then, Wang Kui added: "However, I personally give everyone a small compensation. Here is a paper bag in our store. I wrote the number on it. Everyone comes to get one. You can use this paper bag tomorrow without waiting in line."

Openly...jumping in line?

Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.Even imagine the scene where you will be the first to buy something ahead of a long line tomorrow, and everyone will look at you enviously... I am a little excited!

The waiter distributed paper bags to them, and took a pen and paper to record and write down the number.

A busy day is finally over.Wang Kui began to count today's turnover.Most of them are scattered copper coins, which are difficult to count.

"The total is... two thousand and eighty-six taels, 86 Wen." The waiter put the stringed copper coins together.

"Are you sure? Did you make a mistake?" Wang Kui was shocked by the number.

"I've counted three times, Young Master Wang, do you want to count it again?"

Rolling up his sleeves, Wang Kui practiced counting for a long time, and finally got the same number.

This, this is too scary.

Although a few hundred taels of it is the amount of recharge for members, the total turnover of nearly 3000 taels is completely genuine!

You know, the turnover of Xiaxing Tavern in Yuechuan County, excluding the recharge amount, never exceeded 1000 taels when the business was at its peak.

Even if he counted two thousand a day, it would be a full sixty thousand a month!

God, 6 taels of silver...

To tell the truth from the bottom of my heart, Wang Kui has never seen such a quick and easy way to make money at such a big age.

This is not a snack shop, it is clearly a silver production machine!

At night, Wang Kui suffered from insomnia.He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of white money.He simply got up, sat at the desk and wrote a letter to Qi Yongfan.

He wanted to invite Qi Yongfan to come and see for himself, to witness the birth of this miracle with his own eyes.

……

It's night, Tong's house.

The courtyard in the west wing was brightly lit, and the man's heartbroken consolation could be heard vaguely, "Yanyan, you should eat less, you shouldn't eat too many snacks at night..."

"You can control me?" Tong Yanyan took out the potato chips from the bag, crunchy one bite at a time, "Father, you go about your business, you promised to support me for the rest of my life, what can I do if I don't have money."

With trembling hands, the man pointed at her and said, "I, why did I give birth to something like you!"

"You have changed." Tong Yanyan said: "You used to spoil me very much... woo woo woo..."

Her crying, even if it was a pretend howl, lowered the man's voice by a few decibels, and said softly: "Okay, Yanyan, eat more, if you don't have enough, I will buy it for you."

"Well, I love Daddy!" Tong Yanyan waved her fleshy arms, took out a paper bag buried in the big bed, and handed it over: "This is chocolate, sweet, and I love it the most. Give it to daddy."

"I don't eat." The man waved his hand, "Since it's Yanyan's favorite food, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Tong Yanyan whispered, "Because I love Daddy the most, I want to leave the best food for Daddy to eat."

Father Tong smiled, but he couldn't resist her, took the bag out and ate a piece.The weather was hot, and the chocolate had already melted a little, sticking to his fingertips, making it uncomfortable.

However, the taste in his mouth was bitter and sweet, a wonderful taste, which surprised him a bit.

"Does Daddy still want to eat?" Tong Yanyan asked him.

Father Tong hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the temptation, nodded.

Tong Yanyan asked him to take another piece to eat.

"Is it tasty?"

Father Tong nodded.

"Do you still want to eat in the future?" Tong Yanyan asked him again.

Father Tong nodded subconsciously.

"Hahahahahaha!" Tong Yanyan raised her head to the sky and screamed, "Let you say that I wasted money buying snacks! You also said that snacks are not allowed at night, and I am happier than anyone else."

Father Tong: "..."

……

At the same time, the other end of Yuechuan county.

Very ordinary houses, in order to save money at night, the oil lamps are turned off early.The man lay on the bed with his daughter in his arms, and taught him a lesson: "Don't eat candy at night, or you will lose all your teeth when you grow up."

The daughter babbled, "Big, big white rabbit toffee... still want..."

The wife was dissatisfied and said: "Sister-in-law, don't spoil her too much, and even bought [-] yuan of candy! Really, if you eat such a big bag of candy, Xiaolei will definitely get sick from eating it."

The man smiled and said, "I didn't buy it specially for Xiaolei, you should try it too."

The wife muttered, "What's delicious for children to eat..."

The man grabbed her lips and kissed her, "I found out, it smells like toffee."

"hate~"

The night was still deep and the stars were shining brightly.Dayin will always remember this day. When the Xiaxing snack store appeared, the rolling wheel of history seemed to have moved in an unpredictable direction.
