"Really?"
"Really, how could I not eat it myself?"
"Hey, okay, Yun'er, then I can eat it myself?"
"Um."
Mulan was really hungry, and she swallowed the two buns in no time.
Zhao Yun'er was away for such a long time, but Mulan didn't sell a single basket.
Seeing that it was almost time to go back, I started to feel anxious.
If she didn't make any money on this trip and instead lost some money to go in, her mother-in-law would probably scold her again after she went back.
Looking at Mulan's sad face, Zhao Yun'er comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Mulan, I'm here to help you."
After Zhao Yun'er finished speaking, she imitated the shouting on TV to promote products.
"Come, take a look, take a look, don't miss it if you pass by. These are practical and beautiful baskets."
Zhao Yun'er's voice was clear and pleasant, and she shouted very hard, so many people passing by would come up to take a look.
"Girl, how much does this basket cost?"
"Auntie, this basket originally cost ten cents a piece. An uncle just bought one and left. If aunt really wants to buy it, I can give you eight cents. Seeing that aunt is carrying so many things, it's just right. It’s easier to put it in a basket.”
The woman looking at the basket thought it was true, so she greeted Zhao Yun'er, "Little girl, please get one for me."
"okay."
Zhao Yun'er picked the biggest one and gave it to the woman, "Auntie, the biggest one has a lot of stuff."
The woman smiled and said, "Little girl, you really know how to do business."
"It's a small business. If Auntie wants to buy a basket next time, come over to my place."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay."
The woman readily took out the eight cents, took the basket with one hand, and handed over the money with the other.
Seeing how Zhao Yun'er sold a basket after spending so little time, Mulan felt a hint of admiration for Zhao Yun'er in her eyes.
"Yun'er, are you too powerful?"
"Haha, you have to have a way to do business. You have to talk about it."
However, this is not something that can be learned in one go. Zhao Yun'er still needs to be taught step by step.
Zhao Yun'er said, putting eight coins into Mulan's hand.
"We have to hurry up and sell more."
"good."
Zhao Yun'er continued to shout hard and used the little time to sell four more.
The baskets were ten cents each and two were sold. On this trip, Mulan earned 52 Wen.
Compared with Zhao Yun'er, it was a bit lacking, but for Mulan, she was also satisfied.
After all, it is not easy to earn dozens of pennies in the village.
All in all, excluding the cost, I made three pounds of meat.
"Yun'er, my mother said, if you make money, go weigh a pound of meat and bring it back."
"Okay, let's hurry up and get there."
The two of them came to the butcher's shop. Mulan held a pound of lean meat. In ancient times, the price of lean meat was much cheaper than fat meat.
A pound of lean meat is only eleven cents.
Zhao Yun'er looked at it and bought a pound. But what I bought was pork belly, which cost fourteen cents a pound.
When the two of them returned to the bullock cart, everyone else had come over. Only Zhao Xinhui and Huo Chunhua had not returned yet.
The people on the oxcart waited for a while, but still did not see Huo Chunhua and Zhao Xinhui.
"What did these two people do? They haven't come back yet. Everyone is waiting. It's true."
