Su Ruyi picked up two buckets of water from the space, went straight to the entrance of the town, put the buckets down, untied the package, opened the package, and placed the two beautiful bowls inside separately on clean cloth.
The lady selling water next to her had a dark face and stood up and walked over.
"what you do?"
"Selling water!"
Su Ruyi replied.
She wasn't going to confront the old man head-on, she was going to take down his trump card!
He was trying to cut off his family's livelihood, but he wanted to cut off his own family's wealth?
Su Ruyi has worked hard alone for ten years, so she is not afraid of trouble. She will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but don't be so arrogant as to get on top of me.
This family has no idea what a wrong decision they have made, and they don’t even know how good the water-selling business they own is. Basically, as long as no one comes to grab this business, it will definitely be good.
Those who buy water come from the villages. Most villages are quite far from the towns. The weather is hot now, and thirst is inevitable.
There are no restrictions on the use of wells in the town, but you can't dig them without a bucket. Who comes all the way to the town and carries a bucket with them just to take a sip of water?
People who are economical will bring water bottles, but the capacity is limited. People in the village will not come to the town at will. They have to stay for at least half a day. The water they brought has been drunk long ago. When they go back, they are already thirsty. They usually spend too much money. I spent a penny to buy a bowl of water and then walked home.
Not to mention those who don't take a penny seriously and come to town empty-handed. These people always want water.
Therefore, selling water is a good business.
The old man has now reduced the price of egg pancakes to three cents. Su Ruyi had calculated it before. Selling it for three cents, one pancake would earn about one cent, but she did not include the cost of vegetables. In other words, the old man now sells it for three cents. You may not even earn a penny from a piece of pancake.
It would be more cost-effective to sell a bowl of water.
And spreading out a piece of cake is more expensive than scooping a bowl of water out of a bucket.
Now, Su Ruyi allows them to sell pancakes at low prices, but will make them unable to sell even a bowl of water!
"You woman! Didn't you see that I'm already selling here? What else are you doing here! Let's go, let's go!"
Sure enough, it's not like a family doesn't stay in the same house. This lady has the same nature as the old man who sells water.
Su Ruyi glanced at her: "The old man selling pancakes in the market is your man, right? He can compete with our family in selling pancakes, why can't I compete with you in selling water?"
She doesn't intend to pretend, she just comes to grab business!
When the old woman heard what she said, she realized which family was competing for business with her husband at the market. The disgust in her eyes became even stronger. She stood and stared at her for a while, unable to say anything else, and turned around to go back.
Su Ruyi started to hawk: "Use a good bowl to drink good water! One penny for a bowl——"
He has a sweet voice and knows how to sell water. Even those who didn't plan to sell water at first were attracted by the sound and turned their heads to take a look.
Those two beautiful bowls are really attractive.
People in the village all use coarse bowls, which are the same in every household, rough and ugly.
It's not that they don't like good bowls, it's that good bowls are expensive, much more expensive. Some bowls are not even qualified for them to touch, let alone use.
"Isn't your bowl expensive?"
Sure enough, a young daughter-in-law was attracted by the beautiful bowl and couldn't walk.
This bowl is so white and there are flowers outside! There is also light, just like the legendary jade.
How can she be so beautiful?
Su Ruyi smiled: "Of course it's expensive. This is a bowl only used by rich people who are officials. It's very expensive!"
Now even the man couldn't walk.
What? Those officials and wealthy people use bowls like this?
For those of them who enjoy it, does drinking water from such a bowl taste sweeter and more delicious than an ordinary bowl?
Who doesn’t want to try the kind of enjoyment enjoyed by the superiors!
"How much does a bowl cost?"
a man asked.
"One article!"
"Only one penny?" So cheap? "Give me a bowl!"
The man was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a penny.
Su Ruyi picked up Lanhua's bowl, scooped out a bowl, and handed it over enthusiastically: "Brother, try it, it's a good bowl of water!"
The man seemed a little nervous when he came into contact with such a precious bowl for the first time. He was standing, but he squatted down because he was afraid of falling. He carefully took the bowl and drank it gracefully, but he drank it all in one go.
After drinking, he carefully handed back the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with bright eyes: "The bowl the master above used is just different. The water becomes sweeter when you drink it!"
"Really? Then I'll try it too, it's only a penny!"
Out of curiosity, I started to pay.
Su Ruyi took the money. The men used blue flower bowls and the women used red flower bowls.
Everyone was very careful, and after drinking, they all praised it. It turns out that a bowl of delicious water really tastes better!
"Little lady, how much does this bowl cost?"
"150 per piece."
Su Ruyi didn't hide it, and everyone exclaimed, "Oh my god, I drank from a 150-wen bowl today. I must show off when I go back!"
When others heard about it, they thought it was a 150-cent bowl. It was a few cents more expensive than his own bowl, so he didn’t know how high-end it was! I probably will never buy such an expensive bowl in my life, I must use it once! Have a great time!
"Give me a bowl!"
"I want a bowl too!"
All of a sudden, both thirsty and not thirsty people wanted to drink water and scrambled to pay for it. A water stall was actually surrounded!
There was no one in front of the old woman’s stall next to her!
She was embarrassed and jealous, and silently squatted beside him, with arrows almost shooting out of her eyes.
Not long after, the two buckets of water were sold out, and someone even drank two bowls alone.
Su Ruyi put the bowls away, put a cushion between the two bowls to prevent them from being broken, and put the bag on her shoulders.
"Little lady, are you going back now? I haven't used it yet!"
Someone said anxiously.
He had just arrived in the town, and he saw people gathered here from a distance. He came over to take a look out of curiosity, and heard everyone saying that the water the master used to drink from the bowl was sweet. Seeing how happy they all were, he The water in the water bottle doesn't taste good anymore.
You must try the bowl used by the master!
Su Ruyi picked up two empty buckets: "I'll fetch water. If you want to drink, just wait here."
"Then come back quickly!"
Su Ruyi responded, turned around and left.
When the old woman next to her saw that Su Ruyi had left and there were so many people waiting to drink water, she suddenly became energetic and started to solicit for help loudly: "Selling water, one penny a bowl! Come to my place to drink -"
Some of those who had drank the water left, and some were left waiting to drink. Looking back, they saw a thick bowl in front of the old woman, with no desire at all.
Are they thirsty?
no!
They just want to use a good bowl that they can never afford to use in their lifetime!
They also want to try what it is like to be a master, and it only costs a penny, which is a great deal!
