Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm Chapter 151 The Cold Cakes are Selling Well

151 The Cold Cakes are Selling Well
The old woman glanced at her grandchild who was eating happily and took the cold cake that Lin Xiaoyue handed over.
Then, she took a bite.
Her eyes lit up.
She glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, put the bowl on the table, and then took out the money bag from her pocket.
“Here’s the money,” she counted eight copper coins and placed them on the table.
“Please come this way,” Liu Shi quickly came forward to greet her.
Although she was too shy to attract customers’ attention, she could do this.
The old lady led the child to a small table and sat down.
When the crowd saw that the old lady had also bought the cold cake and looked very satisfied, someone immediately came forward.
“Little girl, give me two bowls too!” A woman who was holding a child’s hand said.
“Okay, please wait a moment!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly cut a piece of cold cake.
She had just received the money and handed over the cold cake when someone else asked for it too.
“I’ll have two bowls too!” This time, it was a mother and her daughter-in-law.
“I’ll have a bowl too. Can I have it for 4 wen?” This time, it was a man who spoke.
“Hehe, big brother, this is just a small business, so I really can’t make much profit from 4 wen a bowl. How about I cut a piece for you? If you think it’s not enough, you can buy another bowl. One bowl is 5 wen, but if you want a second bowl, you can have it for 3 wen!” Lin Xiaoyue said to the man while cutting the cold cakes and pouring the brown sugar syrup on them.
“Hey, girl, isn’t that still 8 wen for two bowls?” The man laughed.
“Forget it, just give me a bowl first as you said. If it’s really good, I’ll have another one!”
“Alright!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly replied.
As the stall became more lively, Lin Xiaoyue did not have to shout anymore. Others saw the crowd and came over.
Then, not long after, Lin Xiaoyue sold all the cold cakes.
Lin Xiaoyue realized that most of the people who came to buy the cold cakes bought two bowls at a time, or more.
Some who lived nearby even went back to get a container so that they could pack some back.
When the others arrived, the cold cakes had already been sold out. Lin Xiaoyue told them that she would be back.
In short, the first day of business went smoothly.
“Li Xiao, wait here. I’ll go buy some groceries with mom,” Lin Xiaoyue walked to Liu Shi and said to Li Xiao, who was packing up the tables and chairs.
“Alright.”
Then, Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue left.
After buying some meat and vegetables, Liu Shi took Lin Xiaoyue to buy some incense and paper money.
After that, Lin Xiaoyue went to the pastry shop to get some pastries and candy before returning.
Before they got on the ox-cart, she bought some steamed buns from the man whose stall was next to theirs.
The man already knew her and knew that she would be coming regularly. He even said that he could help her reserve a spot.
Lin Xiaoyue was grateful. She said that she would treat him to cold cakes next time. The two of them were considered quite close.
After getting on the ox-cart, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao to ride it to the grocery store where they used to do their shopping.
When she found out that Lin Xiaoyue not only wanted to buy a wooden bucket, but also bowls, Liu Shi finally stopped her.
“We have enough bowls at home. We only need about a dozen for the stall.”
“That’s not enough,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Many people wanted to bring the cold cakes home but they had no bowls.”
“When we set up our stall tomorrow, we’ll bring 40 small bowls, 20 medium bowls, and 10 large bowls.”
