Doing Business

Jian Qingqing did not shout. She simply lifted the lid and sat down on a stool.

The fragrance of wine was not afraid of the depth of the alley. Moreover, her seat was so good that she did not need to worry about customers.

Soon, a woman walked over hesitantly.

“Miss, what are you selling? Why does it smell so good?”

“I’m selling stewed meat. There are pork chops, lean meat, and streaky meat. Aunt, do you want some?”

“Pig offal? Can pig offal be delicious?”

“It’s delicious. Aunty, don’t you think it’s really fragrant?. Would you like to try it?”

As she was afraid that no one would accept pig offal, she cut the pig intestines into small pieces for the guests to try.

The woman took the pig intestines and put them into her mouth hesitantly.

Hmm? It was really delicious!

It was fragrant and chewy, and there was no strange taste.

The woman’s eyes lit up. “Miss, how much for a catty of pig offal?”

Jian Qingqing smiled smugly. She knew that no one could resist the taste of pig intestines!

“Pig offal costs 80 wen per catty, lean meat 130 wen, streaky pork 150 wen.”

Pig offal was not only pig intestines, but also pig lungs, liver, and pig blood. The prices of these things varied. Jian Qingqing set the price at 80 wen.

The woman was not short of money. She waved her hand and said, “Then give me one catty of pig offal, lean meat, and streaky meat each!”

“Okay!” Jian Qingqing was very happy with the first deal. She wrapped the meat up with dried leaves.

Before the woman left, she said something that would be heard in every shop in the modern world, “I look forward to welcoming your next visit!”

The woman was amused. “You really know how to talk, Young Lady!”

After the woman left, another aunt came. “Young Lady, give me that pig offal to try.”

It seemed that she had been watching from the side for a long time.

Jian Qingqing handed the large intestine to her.

After the Aunty took a bite, she felt that it was not bad and said, “Young Lady, give me another taste. I don’t even know what the other tastes like.”

It seemed that the second customer was a difficult person to deal with. Jian Qingqing was not annoyed. In the future, she might encounter even more strange customers. She could not be angry every time she returned. She kept smiling, “Aunty, they all taste roughly the same. It won’t taste bad.”

Since she could not freeload, the Aunty came up with another plan. “Then, Young Lady, I’ll buy your pig offal. You can give me a cheaper price. The pork offal is only 25 wen a catty, and now that you cooked it, you’re selling it for 80 wen a catty? Aren’t you too evil?”

“Aunty, not only do I have pork offal, I also have pork liver. That’s 50 wen a catty. My spices are also very expensive. It’s not expensive to sell it for 80 wen.”

The Aunty curled her lips. Why was this girl smiling? She clearly had a dark heart.

“Then give me a catty of pork offal. Put more pork liver in.” Jian Qingqing would not listen to her. She would take what was in a spoonful.

She wrapped the meat and handed it to the customer. “Aunty, 80 wen.”

The aunty was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she could not bear to part with such delicious food. She could only grit her teeth and count 80 wen before throwing it in front of Jian Qingqing.

“Here, here, here! You black-hearted little hoof!”

Jian Qingqing picked up the money and silently told herself in her heart, ‘Don’t get mad, don’t get mad. Earning money isn’t easy. Only through suffering can I become a woman of honor. The heavens will bestow a great responsibility on me, and I will definitely suffer and strain my bones...’

‘Damn it! The next time that Aunty dares to come again, I will throw the money at her face! I won’t take this her damned attitude! It’s only 80 wen! Even if it’s 10,000 taels...’

‘If she really paid 10,000 taels, Jian Qingqing was willing to go down on her knees and beg her.’

‘Sigh, it looks like I still lack discipline.’
