Chapter 24: Sell, Sell, Flower Baskets
Wulang and the others were relieved. It was okay, it was okay, Man Bao was still self-aware.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment. Seeing Man Bao's round face full of distress, he hesitated and said, "Then I'll make it cheaper for you, sixty-five yuan."
Man Bao shook his head, "I don't have that much money, but I may have it when I sell the flower basket. Then I will definitely buy your big cock. By the way, uncle, do you know where there are the most children?"
The stall owner took one look at the flower basket in her hand, then looked at the two children and two teenagers behind her, and realized with hindsight that these were his colleagues.
He waited for a while before pointing to the main street outside: "Go out, turn right, and walk forward for a while. There are people selling candied haws and candy figures. There are many children there."
He couldn't help but said: "Little girl, you are so amazing."
Manbao blushed happily when she was praised. She also felt that she was pretty awesome.
After saying goodbye to the stall owner selling big roosters, Man Bao led everyone to find the child.
The main street was much livelier than the small street just now, and everything was sold. Man Bao curiously walked and looked along, and found that people on both sides of the road were shouting.
This is something that the street just now didn’t have.
Man Bao was very curious, and it took her a while to hear what they were shouting. She looked down at her little flower basket, her eyes lit up, and she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Flower baskets are for sale, flower baskets are for sale."
, What a beautiful little flower basket, and there are some candies to eat.”
The sound of a small milky voice mixed in the mixed adult voice was so eye-catching that many people on the street looked over.
When Man Bao saw someone looking at her, she became even more excited. Holding the flower basket, she shouted even louder, "Flower baskets for sale, very beautiful flower baskets, fresh and fun."
This is clearly a plagiarism combining lines from two nearby stalls.
But no one can dislike her because Man Bao is small and pretty.
The key is that when this child sees someone looking at her, she will smile widely. Even someone with a grudge will lose their temper after being laughed at like this.
Who doesn't like beautiful children with a bright smile?
Man Bao carried her little flower basket around looking for customers. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, many people actually asked about the price. Man Bao said: "Five cents each, and a candy."
Manbao took out a candy from his pocket and put it in.
This candy was packaged. Yesterday evening, Manbao took out all the oil paper that he had collected and asked Xiao Qian to cut it into small pieces, just like the candy paper she unwrapped. Then she cut it with
Daya and the others wrapped the sugar in oil paper together.
Just roll them up like candy wrappers, and now put them at the bottom of Wulang's backpack, wrapped in a piece of cloth. There are only less than twenty in the full treasure pocket.
The person who asked the price was just asking casually and didn't want to buy it. But when Manbao took out a candy and put it in, he hesitated and asked, "Is this candy delicious?"
Man Bao nodded fiercely, "It's especially delicious."
Friday Lang brought up the crushed sugar crumbs that he had prepared long ago.
This is the county town, and of course he can't be too casual, so the crushed sugar residue is wrapped in a handkerchief. The man tasted a small piece, his eyes lit up, and asked: "I bought this flower basket. By the way, are these sugar cans sold separately?"
?”
Manbao rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you want to buy candy alone?"
The man nodded, "This candy is good, buy it and give it to your children at home to try."
Man Bao took out the candies from her pocket and said, "The candies are two for one penny."
Wulang and Daya looked at Manbao one after another and opened their mouths to speak. Liulang and Erya held them back, then stood behind Manbao, holding out their chests with a guilty conscience, pretending to be confident.
The man hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, give me ten candies and I won't take the flower basket."
Man Bao was unhappy, "That's not okay, the candies are sold with a flower basket. If you don't buy the flower basket, I won't sell you the candies."
Now even Liulang and Erya couldn't help but poke her in the shoulder.
Man Bao twisted her body and was very insistent. She felt that the flower basket was better than candy, but she also knew in her heart that if the flower basket did not have candy, it might not be sold, so even for the flower basket, she could not sell candy alone.
The man was startled and asked, "Then I have to buy ten flower baskets?"
"You have to buy at least one before I can sell you candy alone."
The man thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then give me a flower basket and sell me ten candies alone."
Man Bao gave him the flower basket in his hand, counted out ten candies and put them in, and he became happy.
The man gave Manbao ten cents and said with a smile: "Your candies are indeed delicious, but this flower basket is of no use."
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl passing by looked at the flower basket in their hands eagerly, grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want this."
Her mother glanced at it and lowered her head to coax her, "Can you buy some sweets for you later? You can't eat this flower basket."
"I want it. The flower basket is so beautiful."
Erya immediately trotted forward and said, "We also have candy in the flower basket, very delicious candy."
The little girl's eyes brightened even more and she looked at her mother eagerly.
Her mother hesitated and asked, "How much will it cost?"
Erya said: "Five articles!"
It wasn't very expensive, so she only hesitated before agreeing to buy it, and then asked the little girl to choose the one she liked.
The little girl chose a flower basket in Rokuro's hand. Manbao put a candy in it and received five cents. The other party left happily.
Everyone was very happy after receiving fifteen cents.
Once the business gets started, it won't be difficult.
Erya quickly gave up and walked hand in hand with Manbao to sell. Daya was also affected and started shouting.
The three children walked as if they were competing, shouting "Selling flower baskets..."
It attracted the children nearby, who came to buy flower baskets, and some simply followed and shouted together. Before they reached the candy seller, Manbao and the others were followed by a group of children.
People love fun, and so do children. Many people were attracted, and the flower baskets in their hands were quickly sold out.
Wulang found a place to stop, and Daya and Erya tied up the flowers on the spot. They tied up all the flower basket styles they had tied yesterday. Manbao went to Keke to find several good-looking styles and gave them some advice.
Wrap them around.
In addition, every flower is different, so naturally every flower basket is different.
More and more children were watching, and many of them ran back to their parents to ask for money.
People in the county are different. Although five cents is a lot, for people from relatively well-to-do families, it is just a small sum.
The parents who love their children can't help but spend money to buy them if their children get tighter.
Wulang had already taken out the cloth bag hidden at the bottom of the basket and was responsible for putting a candy in each flower basket.
Manbao was responsible for selling to the small customers at the front, saying how beautiful their flower baskets were and how delicious their candies were.
Many children were excited and took out money to buy. Manbao took the money and handed it to Liulang, and then brought out several flower baskets for him to choose one.
Daya and Erya couldn't catch up with the flowers in the end. Seeing that the flowers in the baskets were about to be used up, Wulang asked Liulang to go back quickly and carry the remaining small bamboo baskets and flowers.
