Bab 21: Chapter 021 Grandma Cai
"A bucket of Mung Bean Jelly can make about forty or fifty bowls, that's a rough estimate, then adding brown sugar, a bowl for twenty cents, that's about right,"
Xu Nianhua felt that twenty cents a bowl was still very cheap.
"Even if it's forty bowls, that's eight yuan!" Xu Nian'an quickly calculated the figures and projected, "Eight yuan a day, and two hundred forty yuan for a month of thirty days!"
Two hundred forty yuan!
Elder brother worked at the brick factory for half a year and couldn't earn this much.
"Second brother, you're thinking too much. Mung Bean Jelly is easy to make, who in the village doesn't know how to make it? We just got a head start. Do you think this can be sold every day?" Xu Nianhua pursed her lips, fully aware in her heart that Mung Bean Jelly was indeed a short-term small business. If she could save a little starting capital, she would be satisfied.
"But will people buy it for twenty cents?"
Xu Nian'an murmured all the way until they reached the county, by which time Xu Nian'an was almost drenched. Looking around, he asked, "Little sister, where shall we go to sell?"
They couldn't possibly just carry it around and walk everywhere, could they?
As they entered the town, Xu Nianhua began looking around. The county town was completely different from what she remembered, lacking tall buildings, and even few decent streets; it seemed quite shabby, and quite a letdown from the county town in her eyes.
Caught off guard by Xu Nian'an's question, Xu Nianhua thought briefly before replying, "Let's head to the side of the market where there are more people."
Nowadays, this county town is nothing like the future, thriving everywhere.
If you want to sell Mung Bean Jelly, naturally, pick a place with lots of people.
"Second brother, let's find a family with a house by the street," Xu Nianhua suggested. Selling Mung Bean Jelly naturally had to be cool and delightful. They had rushed all the way here, and even if they had brought bowls and utensils, it was already half-past one!
The sun was fiercely hot, and the Mung Bean Jelly needed to be ice-cold, giving the best flavor when eaten.
Not far from the market, there were some houses. After some selection, Xu Nianhua and Xu Nian'an chose a house belonging to the Cai Family.
With her sweet-talking skills, Xu Nianhua hung the Mung Bean Jelly into the well water. It wouldn't be long before it could be served ice-cold.
"Grandma Cai, here's some for you to try."
Xu Nianhua specifically brought a bowl of Mung Bean Jelly for Grandma Cai.
Grandma Cai was reluctant at first, but Xu Nianhua, with her sweet words about needing her help in the future, managed to convince Grandma Cai to accept the bowl of Mung Bean Jelly.
Xu Nianhua, noticing Grandma Cai's hesitation, asked and found out, Grandma Cai wanted to save it for her grandson who was playing outside.
"Grandma Cai, there's plenty here."
Once the Mung Bean Jelly was cold, Xu Nianhua brought another bowl for Grandma Cai.
The Mung Bean Jelly was cold enough in the well water, and the siblings then began setting up near a large tree opposite the Cai family.
Xu Nianhua arranged the Mung Bean Jelly on a borrowed table, a brand new bucket on top, and a few pairs of clean bowls and utensils beside it.
Xu Nian'an, having never sold anything, stood there not knowing what to do.
"Mung Bean Jelly for sale~"
Even though Xu Nianhua covered most of her forehead with her bangs, shielding her beautiful eyes, her voice was clear, and with a smile on her face, passersby couldn't help but stop and take a look.
Auntie smiled and said, "Little girl, every family knows how to make Mung Bean Jelly, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell any."
Xu Nian'an instinctively looked towards Xu Nianhua.
Xu Nianhua wasn't worried at all. With a sweet smile, she scooped up a bowl of Mung Bean Jelly, crystal clear like ice, opened the prepared brown sugar water, scooped a spoonful, and poured it over. The white Mung Bean Jelly paired with the red sugar water was visually enticing, stirring up an urge to eat it.
