Chapter 118 Setting up a stall
"It's quite big, but why did you suddenly buy so many melon seeds? What are the other things?"
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "Isn't there a movie tonight? I plan to take Yuanyuan out to make some money."
"Make money?"
“Yes, we want to sell all these things.”
Guan Youshuang pointed and said, "This is popcorn, this is a paper cup, and this is instant noodles."
“Can you sell so many?”
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "As long as we can find a way, we can sell them. Mom, when you fry the melon seeds later, please add some seasoning. Put some salt water in one pot and some five-spice blended water in another pot. The rest can be directly fried."
"Row."
Guan Youshuang said to Yuanyuan again: "Yuanyuan, help grandma light the fire."
"Okay." Yuanyuan said happily, "I'll go to the hay field and pick some straw now."
Guan Youshuang felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach again, and she pressed her chest.
Wang Huiying saw it and asked with concern: "Youshuang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Guan Youshuang shook her head and said, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
"Then go to sleep now. What do you want for dinner? I'll call you when it's ready."
"I want to drink some sour pimple soup."
"What nutrition does sour lump soup have? Look how thin you have become these past few days. Xiaoling brought a few black chickens from her parents' home. I'll make you some black chicken soup."
Guan Youshuang couldn't help but dry heave when she thought of meat.
She covered her mouth and said, "Mom, I've had stomach discomfort these past few days. I went to the clinic today and the doctor told me to eat light food."
"Okay, I'll make you some dumpling soup. Go back to the house."
Lying on the kang, Guan Youshuang was filled with emotion: her mother-in-law, Wang Huiying, was just this kind of person. Sometimes she liked to nag, but she was very frank, respectful, and never sarcastic.
As for the matter of drinking soup today, if it were Feng Zhuanxia, she would definitely think that I was doing this for you with good intentions, but you are still picky and don't know what is good for you.
Of course, Feng Zhuanxia would rather drink the black chicken soup herself than make it for her daughter-in-law.
Maybe she was really tired, and Guan Youshuang fell asleep in a daze.
She was awakened by the phone ringing.
Gu Errong was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to answer the phone, so he installed an extension in her room.
Gu Errong said that his application for a driver's license has been approved and he can start learning at any time.
"So soon, didn't you say it would take a few months?"
"Yang Yan happened to know the leader of the vehicle management office, so he approved it."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go up when I'm free."
Gu Errong paused and asked in a low voice: "Where are my parents?"
"Mom is busy in the kitchen. Dad might be out. I'm not sure. I was sleeping just now."
"I miss you." Gu Errong said softly, "I'll go back this Saturday."
"No, no." Guan Youshuang said quickly.
Thinking that she seemed to be overreacting, she quickly explained: "I am going to visit my godmother at Yuting's house this Saturday, and I just want to discuss embroidery needlework with Yuting."
"Oh, then I'll go back on the weekend."
Guan Youshuang said with some embarrassment: "No, Yuting asked me to live in their house, and I have already promised her."
"Okay, then. Let's wait until next week."
Guan Youshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, she really hoped that there would be a bug in the Lexue live broadcast system!
In this way, she wouldn't be so helpless.
She also knew that it would not be a good idea to keep doing this, but her system was not as flexible and powerful as others.
Can't upgrade either.
It's just some low-level functionality.
so helpless.
For now, we can only take it one day at a time.
She thought that after the high school entrance examination, she would go to the county town more often during the week. That way, Gu Errong would not think too much about it.
After hanging up the phone, Guan Youshuang went to the kitchen.
Wang Huiying had already fried the melon seeds and was leaving them on the chopping board to dry. Perhaps to differentiate the flavors, she also placed a portion in the dustpan on the water jar.
She is mixing the dumpling soup.
"Awake? How about you try it?"
Guan Youshuang picked up a few and tasted them. They tasted pretty good.
"That's fine, Mom. You've worked hard. I'll give you a share of the money I earned today."
Wang Huiying smiled and said, "I'm glad I can help you. What do I need the money for?"
After dinner, the sun had already set and shouting began to come from the loud speakers outside.
Guan Youshuang found the plastic shed at home, pulled the cart, and took Yuanyuan to the wheat field.
Originally, she wanted to call Gu Xiaoyun, but the little girl said that she had already watched it last night and had to review her homework tonight, so she didn't want to go.
What she didn't know was that a new movie was being shown today.
Guan Youshuang parked the cart not far from the door. The weather was good tonight and there was no wind.
After she spread out the tent cloth, she opened all the bags and boxes and said to Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, it's time to get busy. Put the big paper cups for popcorn and the small paper cups for melon seeds. Put the big and small cups together and arrange them like this."
As she spoke, Guan Youshuang demonstrated it skillfully.
"Then, put the five-spice melon seeds on the left, the salty ones in the middle, and the original ones on the right. Just put about ten cups of each, and then put the price in front of each one. Put a few packs of instant noodles on the far right."
Yuanyuan moved, and they both quickly got ready.
Guan Youshuang took out a pen and three pieces of paper and said, "Write down the prices. Write 5 cents on the left, 4 cents in the middle, and 3 cents on the right."
After Yuanyuan finished writing, Guan Youshuang found a few small stones and pressed them into the corresponding positions.
At this time, people came out of the village one after another.
Because we had already satisfied our desire to watch movies last night, not many people from our village came tonight, and most of them were from nearby villages.
Guan Youshuang said: "Yuanyuan, start shouting."
Yuan Yuan looked confused and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
"If you don't shout, how can you attract others to buy your stuff?"
"Then should I shout selling melon seeds?"
Guan Youshuang thought for a moment and said, "We should be a little more innovative, so that it will be more attractive. I thought of a catchy rhyme, listen carefully: Melon seeds are delicious, the sound of the snap makes you happy, popcorn is sweet, the fragrance makes you happy."
Afraid that Yuanyuan would not remember, Guan Youshuang wrote it down on a piece of paper and said, "Okay, shout it out loud."
Yuanyuan opened his throat and shouted loudly.
"The melon seeds are delicious, and the sound of the crunch brings joy..."
Sure enough, people gathered around curiously.
"Popcorn costs 5 cents. That's too expensive. A whole pot of popcorn costs only 2 cents."
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "No, it's a cup of popcorn and a cup of five-spice sunflower seeds, a total of 5 cents."
Guan Youshuang took out half a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, handed them over and said, "You can taste the melon seeds first."
One of the women took it and tasted it, then nodded and said, "It tastes really good. If I only buy the seeds, how much would it be?"
Guan Youshuang shook her head and said, "We don't sell them separately. This popcorn is for you. Look for yourself, it's such a big cup. These five-spice melon seeds are only 5 cents a bag in other stores, and the kernels are not as plump as ours."
