Chapter 457: 8 baskets of mushrooms sold out
When the crowd gradually dispersed, all the mushrooms in the basket were gone.
But there were many people following the smell, so the old man never stopped roasting the mushroom slices. He would eat four out of ten slices himself and give the remaining six to others.
While eating, you should take a sip of wine from time to time, and wait until the taste of wine in your mouth goes away before eating another slice, otherwise the delicious taste of the mushroom slices will be covered up.
This is not about selling mushrooms, it is clearly about enjoying oneself, just like a person happily enjoying the breeze and sipping tea on the river.
The mellow smell of the wine made the group of people swallow their saliva, it seemed to taste even better!
Waves of people left and came. Among the eight baskets of mushrooms they brought, there were four baskets of top-quality mushrooms, two baskets of medium-quality mushrooms, and two baskets of the lowest quality.
The first four baskets to be sold were the ones in the best condition.
After the four baskets were sold, Zhou Guo did not try to take shortcuts by replacing the best ones with medium ones. He was realistic and just sold the medium ones.
When everyone heard that the best ones were gone, they looked towards the carriage and said, "How could they be gone? Aren't there a few baskets on top? These are not there?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Let everyone know that the best ones are gone. There are still two baskets of medium-quality ones and half a basket of opened ones left. The taste is not much worse. You can buy them and eat them anyway."
Everyone had to settle for the medium-quality ones. Upon closer inspection, they found that the medium-quality ones were indeed different from the high-quality ones, which could be seen with the naked eye, but the difference did not seem to be that big. So they bought the medium-quality ones. If they let those people know that what they bought were inferior ones, they would not know how they would be laughed at.
After sending these people away, only the last two or three kilograms of medium-sized ones were left.
Zhou Guo took off the bag in front of him and placed it at his feet. It was full of money, mostly copper coins. It was really heavy to carry on his body!
He stuffed it in front of the old man and said, "Master, watch over me while I clean up these things."
After being busy for so long, the place was a mess, with empty baskets everywhere. She piled them up one by one and put them in the carriage, and rearranged the mushrooms that had been messed up on the stall. Looking at the sky, it was already past noon.
My stomach was growling with hunger and I wanted to buy some food, but I was afraid that people would come, so I had to take down the pancakes I brought with me. A few of us ate the pancakes and the grilled mushroom slices at the same time.
The old man ate the cake and said, "Your method is good, but it wastes some bacteria. Half a basket of cakes was gone, which is about 20 kilograms. These people ate one piece and wanted another. Those who didn't have money to buy one also wanted to eat one. Fortunately, I baked slowly, otherwise they would have eaten the whole basket."
Zhou Guo said, "Master, your cooking skills are so good that you attracted many more people than I did. Although we only roasted half a basket, we sold a lot. Now there are only a few left. We have only been here for more than an hour. I originally thought that these eight baskets of mushrooms would take a whole day to sell, but I didn't expect that they were almost sold out by noon. It seems that I can come again next time."
Zhou Su hurriedly said, "I'll come again. I'll go into the mountains to pick them up when I get back."
The old man nodded and said he would come too. "It would take three or four days to save so many bacteria."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "No, I will go back to the village and ask them if they can sell me the mushrooms they can't sell. That way, we don't have to go into the mountains ourselves. We can collect the mushrooms we want in one day. We can come back every two or three days, and at least five or six times. In this way, the villagers make money, we make money too, and the people in the capital get delicious food. Isn't it a happy thing for everyone?"
The old man laughed and pointed at her, saying, "I've always said that you can't change your habit of meddling in other people's business. You worry about other people's mushrooms not being able to be sold. You collect so many, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell them?"
There are fifty or sixty households in the village, but every household has moved to the mountains.
Zhou Guo said, "I won't charge more. I can charge less from each family. I charge 100 or 150 coins and sell them at 60, 40 or 30 coins per catty. I can make a lot of money per catty and they can make some money too. Even if I charge 10 catties per family, it's still a big deal. This is a win-win situation. I won't do this at my own expense."
Zhou Su nodded, "Yes, we have to make some money."
The old man was very happy. "Okay, just do your work when you go back. I will accompany you next time."
Zhou Guo nodded happily.
At noon, more people came to buy vegetables, and soon all the remaining mushrooms were bought. In the end, there were two or three pounds of mushrooms left. She gave two pounds to an old man who looked similar to the old man. The old man was very happy and left with a basket of mushrooms.
A few more people who were introduced came later, and when they saw that they had closed the stall, they were disappointed, "Gone??!"
Zhou Guo nodded, "No more, sold out!"
"Will you come next time? I heard you won't come?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We will come again in two or three days. Many customers didn't buy any and want to eat them. We will come again, but we will see if there are enough in the mountains."
Hearing that they would come again, several people breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you still here in two or three days? You must come. My little ancestors refused to eat after smelling the fragrance from next door. I took half a bowl of chicken to exchange with them, but the neighbor said that this thing is much more expensive than meat. Anyway, I exchanged a few slices, but those guys ate them all. They were still not satisfied and insisted on eating more. I thought I would come to see if there was any more for sale, but it was gone."
Zhou Guo said: "It will come. It may not be in this location at that time, but it will be on this street."
After getting the accurate news, everyone went back satisfied.
It was already the second half of the day. A few people had eaten some pancakes and pine mushrooms at noon, but they were not full.
Zhou Guo was especially busy, he had no time to eat, he packed up everything, picked up the trash, patted the big bag of money in front of him, asked Hei Dadan to get in the car, and said to Zhou Su and the old man: "Let's go to the restaurant to eat."
The old man's eyes lit up. Since he came here, except for the beef and mutton shops in the town, he had never eaten in a regular restaurant. He really missed it, so he twirled his beard and nodded.
Zhou Su was a little hesitant. "Will the restaurant be too expensive? In fact, we can eat a bowl of wontons or noodles at a small stall, which is good enough and can save a lot of money."
Zhou Guo patted his head and said, "It doesn't matter. You can't go to a big restaurant with this little money, but you can still go to a small restaurant. You forgot that you got a big share of the money from the sale. You got more than your brother. Come on, I'll take you to broaden your horizons and see if the food in the restaurant is delicious."
After saying this, she asked the two to get in the carriage and then led it to the street where they would eat.
Zhou Su was both excited and conflicted.
Zhou Guo walked forward. He didn't dare to go into the big restaurant. He followed the smell and found a restaurant in a small alley. The doorplate was a bit shabby, but there were many customers inside. Several waiters in the restaurant were so busy that their steps were almost flying. Waves of fragrance wafted out from inside.
