Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 35 - 34 Wu Lan’s Plan

That’s the price of pork.

When the onlookers heard the aunt speak this way, they chimed in, “Young girl, you really are selling them too expensive.

Could you give us a discount?

You can’t do business like this.”

Xu Niannian knew that many people would find the price unacceptable as soon as she announced it.

If these were ordinary pumpkin cakes, she definitely wouldn’t sell them for this much.

But these were different, made with water from Space Creek and crafted by her, an accomplished chef.

She also had other plans in mind and didn’t want to start by setting the price too low.

Therefore, Xu Niannian didn’t get angry and kindly explained, “Auntie, these Liuyue Su are made from high-quality glutinous rice flour, which isn’t cheap.

Besides, you’ve tasted them yourself and know how delicious they are.

To produce such a tasty treat definitely requires a lot of steps; I spent an entire day making these.”

“Well…” The aunt hesitated; although she was brash and liked a bargain, she wasn’t unreasonable.

Given what Xu Niannian had explained, it seemed the price wasn’t too outrageous.

Moreover, with the girl’s friendly demeanor, the aunt didn’t feel right continuing her complaint.

But to simply hand over the money was hard for her; it was so expensive, and not even pork— it felt like she was being cut to the quick.

Xu Zhiqiang had stayed silent the whole time.

When he heard Xu Niannian say they were three dimes each, he was shocked.

So expensive—would anyone be willing to buy them?

Then, hearing her assert without a blush or breathless word that she had worked a whole day on them, Xu Zhiqiang’s head began to spin.

Had he remembered wrong, or had she actually spent just over an hour instead of the entire day?

As the aunt wavered, Xu Niannian wasn’t in a hurry to push; good products aren’t afraid of commanding high prices.

If something is genuinely good, there will always be more people willing to spend money on it.

The salaries in the county differ from those in the town.

In the town, some small factories pay an ordinary worker about fifteen yuan a month.

But it’s different in the county, with many textile mills and various factories where the monthly wages for ordinary workers are around thirty yuan.

Three dimes for one, five to six per pound, one and a half or two yuan for a pound is indeed a bit expensive, but it’s not unaffordable.

Taking advantage of the aunt’s hesitation, Xu Niannian quickly gave out samples of the cake to the onlookers.

Those who came were just there to see the spectacle, with no intention to buy upon hearing the price.

However, no one turns away free stuff, even if it’s only the size of a fingernail cap.

Yet as soon as they tasted it, their expressions immediately changed.

The first young man to taste it exclaimed excitedly, “This is so delicious, young girl, give me two.”

“Eh, sure,” Xu Niannian replied as she took out two pumpkin cakes and bagged them in a paper bag.

She had folded the bags herself from clean exercise books she hadn’t finished in school.

With one buyer, naturally, there came a second.

While the product was indeed pricey, it was just that tasty, so others paid up without fuss.

Surprisingly, the second buyer was the aunt, who decided to buy six despite the pained expression on her face.

Xu Niannian immediately gave her an extra one on the house.

The aunt had just been showing a look of distress, but upon seeing Xu Niannian give her an extra, her face instantly blossomed with joy.

She received it with a grin, thinking to herself, “This girl really knows how to attract business—a whole three cents apiece.”

Having earned three cents for free, the auntie couldn’t stop smiling happily.

The snacks were so delicious that, except for those who truly couldn’t afford to spend the money, most tried and then bought one or two.

Buying more might be painful, but one or two could still be afforded.

People love a spectacle, and seeing a crowd gathering around Xu Niannian, they joined in for the excitement.

Xu Niannian, as usual, offered samples first.

Xu Zhiqiang, seeing how good the business was, couldn’t help but be surprised.

These city folk really are willing to spend the money.

Three cents could buy quite a bit.

And yet they were willing to buy such a small cake that couldn’t even fill the stomach.

With many people coming, though most only bought one or two, sales went quickly.

Before long, there were only seven or eight pieces left in Xu Niannian’s basket.

Xu Niannian was so delighted she couldn’t stop beaming.

Suddenly, she felt extremely curious about the recipes in the space.

She really wanted to know what other recipes were available.

With just her own cooking methods, the snacks would still be tasty but definitely wouldn’t have such an alluring effect.

She had to admit that with the addition of Space Creek Water, the flavor was genuinely delicious and hard to forget.

Even someone who had tasted all sorts of gourmet food like her couldn’t resist the temptation, let alone people from this era who hadn’t had much opportunity to try such delicacies.

Most people were just looking to appease their hunger; their cooking skills were average, and only in the county would people be willing to spend money on these precious pastries.

In a town like this one, they would surely not sell.

Xu Zhiqiang finally understood why Xu Niannian allowed people to taste for free.

If something was so expensive, people who had never tried it would certainly think twice before purchasing.

It was her capitalizing on the psyche of those who couldn’t refuse a free taste that lured in the customers.

But it was also because her snacks were truly delicious.

Although Xu Zhiqiang found them very tasty, he hadn’t expected that she could sell them for such a high price.

He had assumed it was because he hadn’t eaten many good things before and so he felt that way.

It turned out others felt the same.

After a wave of customers left, Xu Niannian counted and there were still eight cakes in the basket.

Wu Lan was happy today; her son was finally willing to go on a blind date, and he had even drunk the enhanced water she had prepared before leaving.

When he and Xinyu go on their date…

Ah, she couldn’t continue thinking about it, she was going to be a grandmother very soon.

With joy, she carried a small basket and strolled to the morning market, planning to buy an old hen to stew for her future daughter-in-law to nourish her body.

She just so happened to see a curious-looking woman at the corner of the street, her head wrapped up tightly.

Driven by curiosity, Wu Lan approached.

As soon as she got near, she was greeted by an enticing sweet smell.

“Girl, what are you selling?” she couldn’t help but ask.

She sniffed.

Wow, what a fragrant aroma.

Seeing a new customer, Xu Niannian greeted her enthusiastically, “This is called Liuyue Su, auntie, would you like to try it?”

Xu Niannian originally intended to call her “matron,” but upon noticing that, though the woman was older, she had a graceful charm and elegant demeanor, she quickly corrected herself.

Wu Lan, hearing Xu Niannian’s soft, tempting voice, couldn’t help but take another look at her.

That look allowed her to catch Xu Niannian’s smiling eyes.

Wu Lan’s heart quivered, thinking, “What beautiful eyes.”

She wondered what the face under the cloth looked like, having never seen such attractive eyes before.

“Auntie, would you like to try it?” Seeing the woman staring blatantly at her, Xu Niannian reminded her, somewhat embarrassed.
