Chapter 78: The First Customer
Their hearts sank when they saw everyone’s reaction. They trembled and didn’t dare to look up.
Someone in the crowd said, “It is indeed very fragrant and looks fresh, but the price is really high.”
“Yeah, it’s only food. Everyone here sells pancakes and steamed buns.”
A mean-looking auntie raised the corners of her eyes and snorted.
“No one will buy it for sure. Is your family stupid or greedy? How dare you sell food at such an expensive price? Are your things inlaid with gold or silver? Only the emperor would buy them if you set such a high price.”
“You still want someone to help your business? No one will buy it.”
It was unknown what kind of temper or mentality this auntie had. Her words were unpleasant to the ears. Then, she shouted loudly at them,
“Who can afford your family’s things? I want to see who would buy your family’s food when it’s so expensive!”
This woman had a bitter attitude. She deliberately shouted this as the price was too high. There were indeed a few people who came to a conclusion.
“Indeed. The people here are either laborers or poor commoners. This food is sold immorally and is so expensive.”
“Food is good. Won’t people buy it if it’s cheaper?!”
“They don’t look like they’re from the city. They should be from the village or the mountains, right? They dare to sell food at such high prices when they’re doing business. On what basis?”
Although everyone was salivating, most of the people in the crowd still wouldn’t fork out money when they heard about this price. The greatest feeling in their hearts was disbelief.
There were also some who felt inexplicably unbalanced and had hostile attitudes.
Voices sounded from all directions. Most of the people who didn’t have any special attitude were also hesitant. For a moment, only mocking laughter was left.
The two sisters-in-law’s palms were sweaty and their hearts were beating fast. Their faces were pale.
When the mean and straightforward woman saw this scene, she thought that she had restrained the Guan family. She shouted even louder,
“You guys definitely can’t do this business. Who would buy such expensive things from you? In my opinion, whoever buys it must be crazy. Five copper coins for a glutinous rice chicken? You must be crazy about money!”
The moment this woman shouted those words, the Guan family’s faces turned even paler.
They were afraid that everyone would be led astray by this woman.
“You don’t even know what you are worth when you came out to set up a stall. How dare you sell such expensive food? I think no one will buy them!”
That auntie was overbearing and had an unusually excited expression on her face. It was unknown what she was thinking. In the first place, other people setting up stalls had had nothing to do with her.
The crowd around the stall was whispering to one another. No one went forward to buy anything. It seemed that the situation had become worse.
That auntie felt as if she had done something big. Her opinion made everyone else seem to worship her. She looked at the Guan family smugly and maliciously.
“Hah! I’ve already said that no one will buy it. Your family is made of fools.”
Mother Rong’s face turned pale. Her heart was in her throat and her breathing was not smooth.
However, her domineering attitude in the village and her personality made her indignant. She was about to say something to rebut her.
However, a voice sounded from the bustling crowd. “Who said so? I’ll buy it!”
A strong and muscular man squeezed through the crowd. It was obvious that he had been watching from the crowd for a while.
