Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 34 - 33 Why Not Just Rob Someone

Beautiful?

Jin Yu couldn’t help but think of the woman he saw at Old Wu’s place yesterday.

Could any woman be as beautiful as that improper woman?

It would be very difficult to encounter another who could even match such exceptional beauty.

Even when faced with such a beauty, he was only physically moved but not emotionally stirred.

Did he expect to fall in love at first sight with Zhu Xinyu?

What a joke.

All he wanted now was to find the woman he had wronged, marry her, and bring her home, without giving a second thought to anything else.

After walking for an hour in the mountains and riding a minibus for another hour, they finally arrived at the county.

Xu Niannian felt as if her bones were nearly shaken apart.

“Sis, how are you feeling?” Xu Zhiqiang looked at her somewhat listless eyes and worriedly supported her arm.

Xu Niannian waved her hand, “I’m fine.”

The two of them arrived in the county and asked quite a few people before they found out where the morning market was.

Xu Niannian carried the basket with Xu Zhiqiang as they headed to the morning market, where people had already started setting up their stalls.

The county was different from the town and the villages.

It had been two years since the reform and opening up, and there were quite a few people doing business, but not too many.

Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang found a spot to stand, with Xu Zhiqiang holding the basket.

Xu Niannian planned to sell pumpkin cakes for thirty cents each.

The cakes were not big, so thirty cents each was quite expensive.

Others sold their goods by weight, while she sold by piece, which amounted to almost the same price as meat.

Xu Niannian believed that no matter the era, there would always be a gap between the rich and the poor, and pastries were not meant to be sold as breakfast.

Besides, she was not running a shop, so she didn’t need to use the tactic of thin profits and high turnover yet.

Moreover, most people in the county had jobs, unlike the people in the village, and there were still many who were willing to pay a higher price for refined and delicate snacks.

Xu Niannian didn’t shout about her goods.

Instead, she just lifted a corner of the cloth cover, letting the aroma drift out.

And indeed, the fragrance of the products made with water from the creek was irresistibly tempting.

As soon as she lifted the cover, quite a few people gathered around, asking curiously, “What are you selling here?”

This was a lady with a shopping basket, dressed tidily.

Xu Niannian enthusiastically introduced her, “This is called Liuyue Su, it’s really delicious.

Would you like to try some?”

That lady scrutinized her with a shrewd glance, “Isn’t this just a pumpkin cake?

Call it Liuyue Su, such fancy names for nothing.”

Although the lady said that, she still stretched out her hand towards Xu Niannian, “Give me a bit to taste.”

At that moment, what the lady was thinking was that there was no harm in tasting something free; it’s a waste not to try it when there’s no cost.

Xu Zhiqiang heard Xu Niannian was planning to let people taste for free and didn’t quite understand.

This stuff was so exquisite, how could she simply give it away for free?

Everyone was greedy for freebies.

If every person came to taste one for free, wouldn’t they suffer a huge loss?

Seeing the worry in Xu Zhiqiang’s eyes, Xu Niannian calmly patted his arm, signaling him to be at ease.

In front of the lady, Xu Niannian took out a piece and pinched off a piece the size of a fingernail to give to the lady, “Try this and see how it tastes.”

Although Xu Niannian herself felt the pumpkin cakes were not yet perfected, for others they were a heavenly delight, and she was very confident in this.

Seeing Xu Niannian give her such a tiny piece, the lady immediately felt displeased.

As she stuffed it into her mouth, she complained, “How stingy, how can you do business like this.”

Set on belittling the cakes after seeing Xu Niannian’s stinginess, the lady was determined to criticize a few words.

However, the taste of that tiny piece of pumpkin cake was so delicious it made her forget to grumble.

Delicious, it was too delicious.

The lady covered her mouth and, after swallowing, the lingering taste made her almost wish she could swallow her own tongue.

It really was too scrumptious.

Even with her caustic tongue, she couldn’t help but praise, “Delicious, it really is too delicious.”

Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Xu Niannian, “How do you sell this?”

Xu Niannian seemed to have anticipated her reaction and smiled as she held up three fingers, “Thirty cents.”

“Per pound?” The lady’s eyes lit up.

Xu Niannian shook her head, “Each.”

“What?

Thirty cents each, are you trying to rob people?”
