Chapter 119 - Loud Shouting 1

They could do it at home. Why would they spend eight copper coins here?

The crowd immediately lost interest in trying.

Seeing this, Chen Hu and Madam Qian both looked anxious.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao did not expect this either. Could it be that their price was too high?

Considering the cost of making, they would not earn much a year if they priced it any lower. It was better to work more on the farm. If that was the case, there was no need to do this.

The business was difficult, and the opening gave both families trouble.

People just gathered around to watch the commotion before dispersing. They even discussed among themselves. “Green vegetables and cabbage are all worthless. How can they be sold for eight copper coins? Anyone can make this. If they want to eat it, they can just go home and let the women make some. Why do they have to come here to sell it? No matter how delicious it is, how much can they eat?”

They could make as much as they wanted at home.

Seeing that no one cared about the carefully prepared sauerkraut and pickles, Su Sanlang’s family and Chen Hu’s family felt a dark cloud in their hearts.

Su Xiaoling also looked worried, but she did not know what to do.

Pedestrians came and went. After knowing the price, they just waved their hands and shook their heads before leaving.

Su Xiaolu could not help but think of a way. Looking at the empty shop, she really thought of a way.

It was said that one should not hit a smiling person. As long as one’s attitude was good and enthusiastic enough, there would always be a few in ten who could not withstand the enthusiasm to try.

If they tried something delicious and realized that it was different, he would want to buy it and eat more.

So Su Xiaolu said, “Father, Mother, Uncle and Aunt Hu. Don’t worry. I have an idea.”

As soon as Su Xiaolu spoke, everyone’s attention turned to her.

At this moment, he was not afraid that the solution would not work. He was afraid that there was no solution.

“Xiaolu, what do you have? Tell me.”

Chen Hu asked anxiously.

Su Sanlang also said, ” Simei, what can you do?”

Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu and smiled.

Su Xiaolu also smiled and said, “Everyone doesn’t want to buy it because they don’t want to try it. If they don’t try it, they won’t know that our sauerkraut and spicy cabbage taste super delicious, so they won’t buy it. My idea is that we walk down the street and greet everyone who passes by. We warmly invite them to try it for free. After they try it, they can choose not to buy it if they don’t like it.”

Listening to Su Xiaolu’s idea, Su Sanlang felt that it was feasible.

Madam Qian said worriedly, “What if they aren’t willing to buy it after tasting it?”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Everyone’s taste is different. Not everyone will like to eat it, but there will always be people who like it. We just have to work hard to catch those who like it.”

Everyone had their own preferences. If some people liked it, there would be people who didn’t. No matter how delicious the food was, there would be people who didn’t like it. But no matter how bad it was, there would still be people who loved it.

“Father, mother, Uncle Hu. Little Aunt. I think Xiaolu is right.”

Su Xiaoling said gently. The more she thought about what Su Xiaolu said, the more reasonable it sounded.

No matter how difficult the road was, one had to walk it. He wouldn’t know if it would work until he walked it.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian were silent.

Su Sanlang was also deep in thought.

Madam Zhao looked at Su Xiaolu gently and said, “But how should we invite them warmly?”

That was a problem. It didn’t feel easy to do.

Su Xiaolu patted her chest and raised her head confidently. “Simple. Watch me. The men greet the men, the women greet the women, and I’m still young. I can choose freely.”

After saying that, Su Xiaolu volunteered to walk out of the shop. Her gaze landed on the woman walking toward her. She smiled and shouted, “Beautiful sister, come and try my sauerkraut and pickled vegetables. They’re sour, spicy, and refreshing. They’re super delicious. Come and take a look. It’s free. If you don’t like them, don’t buy them. If you like them, buy some home. Whether it’s cooking cold dishes or soup, they’re all delicious.”

“My family’s sauerkraut and pickles are all made with the best vegetables. The condiments are also the cleanest and best. Beautiful sister, come and try it for free.”

Su Xiaolu’s smile and voice were sweet. The woman’s cold expression turned into a smile as she looked at the shop beside her.

She asked, “Little sister, is it really free tasting?”

Don’t tell me I can’t leave without buying it? She thought.

Su Xiaolu nodded heavily and said, “It’s true. We’re all down-to-earth people. We won’t force you. It’s free. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it.”

“Well, all right, then. It doesn’t look too bad. I’ll have a taste.”

The woman saw how enthusiastic Su Xiaolu was. She could not reject her, so she walked over.

Su Sanlang and the others were already dumbfounded.

They didn’t know how to entertain the woman as she approached.

Su Xiaoling was the first to react. She immediately went forward and took out the small stick she had prepared. She smiled and handed it to the woman. “Sister, please. Just use this stick to eat. It won’t be used again after you use it. It’s very clean.”

Madam Zhao also came back to her senses and quickly went forward to help with a smile.

The woman listened to Su Xiaoling’s explanation and was in a good mood. She took a piece of spicy cabbage and ate it.

Her eyes lit up as she ate.

How delicious. The spicy cabbage was fresh, sweet, spicy, and crispy.

She ate the vegetable head again. It was crisp and sour, and the sauerkraut was refreshing. The saltiness was just right.

Good stuff. Tasted it for free. She didn’t think she’d had enough, but if she wanted to eat more, she’d have to buy it. She looked at the large barrel covered with gauze and asked, “Does what you have inside taste the same as what’s placed outside here?”

When Madam Zhao heard this, she knew that the customer liked it. She smiled and said, “It’s the same. If you’re afraid that it’s different, I’ll open it and cut some for you to try.”

When the woman heard that she could try it again, she nodded. “Okay, then I’ll try it again to see if it tastes the same. If it does, I’ll buy some back to eat.”

“Sure thing.”

Everyone was very happy to have their first business deal. Madam Zhao washed her hands in the basin at the side and then began to take some out of the big bucket for the woman to cut for her to try.

On the other side, Su Xiaolu was already facing the fourth stranger.

“Big Brother, come and try my pickled vegetables and pickles for free. You don’t have to buy it if you don’t like it. If you like them, buy some back. They’re all very delicious.”

“My sauerkraut and pickles. They go well with wine as a cold dish. They also make stews. And they’re easy to match. Everything in a stew tastes good. It’s delicious.”

As Su Xiaolu spoke, she was drooling.

As the man watched and listened, he couldn’t help but look over. He wanted to try it too.

It was free anyway.

And so a second guest arrived.

The woman got one catty of both types of pickles and paid with a smile. “It can be used to stew tofu, right? I’ll try it later. If it’s delicious, I’ll buy it next time.”
