Chapter 21 Knock him hard (sixth)

Chu Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that there were so many stalls doing business on the street.

“Who would eat worms!” Chu Xiaoxiao sighed, and there was no hope in his heart.

“Hey, little girl, what are you roasting? It’s delicious!”

A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit approached and asked in confusion.

Chu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “Roasted green worms, roasted grasshoppers, and roasted autumn cicadas, do you want a bunch?”

“What! Is it a bug?” The middle-aged man was shocked.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s reaction, Chu Xiaoxiao felt a chill in her heart, thinking that no one likes bugs.

But the middle-aged man did not walk away, but looked carefully at the sizzling insects above the fire, and couldn’t help swallowing.

“Little girl, how do you sell these roasted worms?” the middle-aged man asked.

Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then replied casually, “A bunch of fifty cents!”

As soon as she said it, her face changed suddenly, she actually made a mistake, she originally planned to sell a bunch of them for five cents.

Just as she was about to correct her slip of the tongue, the middle-aged man in front of her said, “It’s a little expensive, but give me four strings!”

Chu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

Are all the people in the city so rich? They even buy a bunch of them for fifty cents.

With her hands stiff, she handed the four grilled worms to the middle-aged man in front of her.

The middle-aged man paid her two dollars, frowned and looked at the roasted worm in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and bit it.

“Well, it’s not bad, it’s delicious!” The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, and he turned to Chu Xiaoxiao and said, “I didn’t expect insects to be roasted and eaten. The taste is quite special. I’ll come again next time!”

After speaking, the middle-aged man strode away.

Chu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the two dollars in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

Roasted worms are actually eaten by people, and some people buy them for fifty cents a bunch. What the hell is going on in this world?

If Chen Ming was here, he would definitely tell her why.

Although there are many small vendors on this street, they basically sell raw materials, such as green vegetables, eggs, fish, pork, etc. These things need to be bought and cooked by customers themselves before they can be eaten.

Only the woman or chef in charge of cooking would buy these ingredients.

The insects sold by Chu Xiaoxiao have been processed and baked in advance, and they are secondary processed foods. They can be eaten immediately after they are bought, which is attractive to anyone.

And the most important point is the curiosity.

The people in the city are well-dressed and have a comfortable life. It is inevitable that they will be curious about things they have never seen before.

In this era, barbecue has not yet fully emerged, and roasted insects are naturally more eye-catching.

The middle-aged man just now, out of curiosity, had never eaten this kind of stuff before, so he was willing to spend two yuan to buy four strings to try it.

Chu Xiaoxiao forcibly suppressed her excitement, pocketed two yuan, and cleaned up the bugs again for barbecue.

It’s still selling for five cents a bunch.

Since the city people are so rich, why don’t they hit them hard!

Immediately afterwards, more customers came to her booth one after another to inquire.

Most of them came here out of curiosity, and then I couldn’t help but buy some to try.

Her stall has a surprisingly good source of customers, almost every few minutes, there will be one.

By two o’clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiaoxiao had sold out all the bugs.

She touched the bulging banknotes in her pocket. She knew the truth of keeping money hidden. She didn’t take it out and counted it. She pushed up the wooden cart and hurried back to Pingliang Township.

Two hours later, she arrived at an empty hillside, and finally couldn’t help turning out the banknotes in her pocket and counting them one by one.

“Two dollars!”

“Six dollars and five!”

“One hundred and five!”

“Two hundred and sixty-five!”

“…”

It took five minutes for her to count, and she was afraid that she had made a mistake, so she counted again.

A total of 486 yuan and fifty cents were earned!

Looking at the thick stack of money in his hand, Chu Xiaoxiao felt a little dazed.

This was the first time in her life that she saw so much money, and it was only earned in one day.

According to the salary of 40 yuan a month for ordinary people, she earns ten months’ wages of others in one day.

And, it’s zero cost.

The bugs were caught by my younger brother and other little kids. The peppers and minced garlic were all grown at home. Even the firewood for the stove was collected from the mountains.

Staring blankly at the money in his hand, Chu Xiaoxiao recalled the hardships she had suffered in the past few years after her father’s death, she couldn’t help her nose sore, her eyes flushed, and she buried her head and cried.

After crying for more than ten minutes, she just raised her head, her eyes were swollen from crying.

She put away the money carefully, looked at the mountains in the distance, and murmured, “If it wasn’t for the words of the officer comrade, I wouldn’t be able to make that much money!”

“If I have a chance to meet him in the future, I must repay him!” Chu Xiaoxiao secretly vowed.

Although she is smart, she is not an ungrateful person, and she knows very well that Chen Ming is her benefactor.

There is kindness in return, this is what her father told her before her death.

After wiping away her tears, Chu Xiaoxiao pushed the wooden cart again and walked towards the way home.
