Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 334: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (6)

The effect yesterday was very good, and we sold thirty yuan on the first day.

But she only had 500 packs left, and if she sold them all she would only get about 150 yuan. But in this day and age, mobile phones are like luxury goods, and the cheapest one in the county costs more than 200 yuan.

Selling these pickles alone is far from enough.

Shi Qi thought of the big factory next to the market yesterday and decided to go and find out about the situation there today.

Shi Qi got up early before daybreak. Today he pushed two hundred bags of sauerkraut and drove the donkey cart to the county.

Along the way, several villagers from the same village kept staring at her from time to time, with inquiring and scrutinizing eyes.

She had no impression of these gangster-like people. After all, the original owner didn't interact much with the villagers.

That look made her feel malicious and a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She shook her head, quickened her pace, and didn't think much about it.

Perhaps the donkey cart was a little heavier today, and it was almost noon when Shi Qi arrived at the market.

From a distance, I could see that the place where the stalls were set up yesterday was already surrounded by people.

Shi Qi thought she was from another stall, but someone in the crowd suddenly saw her and shouted to her, "Hey! Here comes the girl!"

"Oh my, that pickled cabbage goes really well with rice. I bought three packs yesterday and ate them all up at home in one night. Oh my goodness, today when I saw the rice in the cafeteria, I wanted to eat it with pickled cabbage. Girl, I'm going to buy five packs today!"

Shi Qi set up the stall neatly with a smile: "Okay, big brother, I'll pack it for you right away."

Soon, the stall was surrounded by people.

Shi Qi looked at the crowd that was rushing to pay and was really happy in her heart, but with so many people squeezing and fighting, she was a little busy alone.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, tied up her long hair neatly, and shone warmly under the sunlight. She looked capable and experienced. "Don't worry, I brought a lot today, enough for you to buy."

"Hey, okay, everyone, don't push and don't scare the little girl."

While Shi Qi was busy, he was also secretly observing the situation around him.

For two consecutive days, she found that these workers brought their meals and ate outside the factory, which made her curious.

"Hey, big brother, you are the workers of that factory, right? I remember there is a cafeteria in this factory. Why don't you eat inside?" Shi Qi asked while packing sauerkraut for a customer.

"Oh, girl, you don't know, the food and vegetables in this factory are not only expensive and unpalatable, but there are also not enough seats. There are hundreds of people, but only two windows in a canteen, and the same few dishes are served every day. We've had enough. Oh, I haven't eaten meat for several days. It's so cold, I really want to drink some meat soup, and pair it with your sauerkraut. Wow, just thinking about it makes me happy..." The eldest brother said, his eyes sparkling, honest and simple.

Shi Qi's eyes flickered and he smiled slightly: "Meat soup?"

She has never made meat soup, but the children always praise her for her bone soup. Using pork and beef bones as ingredients not only saves costs, but also makes a bowl of bone soup in late autumn, which is delicate, tender, and rich in fragrance.

It is indeed the best partner for sauerkraut!

"Yes, I have always liked drinking soup, and so do my coworkers. It's a pity that I haven't had any delicious soup since I came to this factory. The soup in the canteen is just like plain water. Girl... can you still make soup?" As the eldest brother spoke, his expression changed from lost to suddenly looking at Shi Qi with a bright look and great anticipation.

Shi Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm not sure I can make the meat soup, but I am confident about the bone soup. So, I will sell it together with the pickled vegetables tomorrow. If you are free, I'd like to trouble you to do me a favor."

When the elder brother heard this, his eyes lit up and he praised her generously: "Really? Wow, you are really something, girl. The pickled cabbage is sour and crispy, and the taste is amazing. The bone soup you make must be delicious too."

Shi Qi felt a little shy after being praised, so he could only nod repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Oh, I won't chat with you anymore, girl. The city leaders are inspecting us these two days. We have to finish eating and go back to work."

"Okay." Shi Qi saw that the person was leaving in a hurry, so he didn't stay long.

Today's business is even more prosperous than yesterday. It seems that everyone is quite receptive to sauerkraut. In just two hours, her sauerkraut is almost sold out again, and the vendors at nearby stalls all look at her with envy and jealousy.

Shi Qi didn't show off too much. When he saw that the things were almost sold out, he pulled the cart back behind the shade of a tree.

Because there was an uncle who didn't buy the products yesterday, Shi Qi hasn't seen him today. Although he's not sure whether he will come, Shi Qi still left two packs for him.

After waiting for another hour, the afternoon sun was bright and warm. Shi Qi was basking in the sun, feeling drowsy. Noticing that the stalls nearby were closing one after another, she looked at the road towards the factory again.

Still no one came.

It was already very late when she got home. Besides, she still had to buy beef and pork bones and big buckets today to prepare the materials and the cooperation plan for the factory canteen.

Shi Qi yawned, tidied his clothes and prepared to close the stall.

Just as she was about to leave, a familiar panting voice sounded behind her: "Little girl, little girl, huh...wait a moment."

Shi Qi stopped, turned around, and saw the uncle from yesterday.

The uncle was panting, and his righteous face showed apology.

"Uncle? You're finally here. These are the two packets I left for you. Business is good today, so consider this as making up for the fact that you didn't get any yesterday." Shi Qi didn't show any blame or impatience. The uncle felt a little more fond of the girl and was touched by her young age and honesty.

"How can that be? You must have been waiting for a long time." The uncle looked at Shi Qi's sleepy and forced expression and said warmly, "Here, this is five yuan. It's not easy for a little girl to set up a stall. Go and buy some food and daily necessities with it."

When Shi Qi saw the two dollars, he was slightly stunned.

Five dollars? Five dollars these days... my god! It's equivalent to hundreds of dollars later.

This, this, this...are all the workers so rich? How could they be willing to spend so much to buy two bags of pickled cabbage?

Even though she needed the money very much, she could not accept it.

In business, it is important to be harmonious and honest. Of course, being a person is even more important.

"Uncle, it's really not necessary. I don't need these. I promised to leave them for you, so of course yours will be included. Here, take and eat them quickly, and don't delay your work." Shi Qi shook his head and stuffed two large bags of sauerkraut into the uncle's arms.

Seeing that Shi Qi refused to accept it, he did not force it, but quietly stuffed six cents on her car board: "Okay, then uncle thanks you, little girl."

Seeing Shi Qi pushing the cart away, the man looked at the sauerkraut in his hand, his nose felt sore and he felt a little dazed.

Suddenly, his shoulder clicked, and a voice came from behind him: "Hey~ Lao Jiang, what are you thinking about? So absent-minded?"

"Ahem, Xiao Liu, nothing much, just checking how the mission is going. If nothing else, we should go back."

"The leader is naturally relieved. This kind of small parts factory has no development prospects. We are responsible for the quality and safety of materials in the province. For such a small place, we can just send someone to do it. I don't know why you want to come and see it in person. This place is not suitable for your status at all." The young man called Xiao Liu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said sincerely and respectfully.

"Identity? What's the difference in identity, kid! I taught you in vain."

"Yes, yes, boss. Hehe, am I kidding? Hey, you want to eat sauerkraut? Why didn't you say so earlier? The ones in the city aren't as delicious as this..." Xiao Liu said, trying to help the man hold the sauerkraut, but was rejected by the man.

"No, the sauerkraut here is the same as the one she made back then." The man's eyes were slightly red, as if he remembered something.

When Xiao Liu saw his leader leaving, he followed him.

Lao Jiang is probably...thinking of his wife.

……

By the time Shi Qi finished buying the ingredients, it was already almost dark.

It was also this late yesterday, but Shi Qi didn’t feel anything unusual.

There are no street lights in the village. The cold wind blows from time to time, rustling the trees, making people feel a little numb.

Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense. As Shi Qi pulled the donkey cart uphill, she always felt that... someone was following her.

The rustling footsteps not far away... don't sound like a person.

Thinking of this, Shi Qi quickened his pace.

Sure enough, the voice not far away was closer to her!
