Chapter 44 Free tasting?

Today, Xu Jiaojiao stopped shouting and went to a bookstore. She spent a few pennies and asked the boss to write a few pieces of paper and hang them in front of the shed.

Xu Jiaojiao wanted to write it by herself, but was afraid of appearing too abrupt. She should keep a low profile if she could.

She asked the bookstore owner to write about Xu's loquat ointment and Xu's loquat dew.

She is a modern person with a sense of trademarks. She picked the fruit once yesterday and it was overflowing early this morning.

Maybe her loquat ointment and loquat dew will be imitated by smart people within a few days as soon as it goes on the market today.

There are definitely more educated people in the county than in the town. As soon as a few big-character signboards are put up, people start to gather around without shouting.

"Huh? Xu's loquat paste? What is it? Is it edible?"

"Free tasting?! This is free tasting! Let's go and have a look..."

Erya had sold fruit to Xu Jiaojiao yesterday and had experience with it. As soon as the customers came over, she started introducing them loudly.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, come and have a look. Come and have a look. You can taste wild loquat fruits for free. Newly grown wild loquat fruits are sweet and sour. There are also hand-made loquat paste and loquat dew.

Free tasting, it doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not, you have the final say whether it tastes good or not! Summer is here, and taking a sip of the free loquat dew that clears away heat and quenches thirst is a blessing..."

The little girl's loud hawking voice immediately attracted a large number of pedestrians.

There are no more people in the county than in the small town. If there are too many people watching, trouble will easily occur.

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Laosi to maintain order at the scene, fearing that there would be queue-jumping or overtaking.

Anyone who comes for a free tasting is first given two fruits to taste, or a small wooden cup of loquat dew to drink.

"Hey, this fruit is sour and sweet. It's much more delicious than what I've eaten before! How can I sell the fruit?"

"This loquat dew is just a sour soup, right? No, it still has the fragrance of fruit. After one sip, I almost sweated. Not bad. Boss, how do you sell this loquat dew?"

After a wave of free tastings, people who are interested in the taste have asked about the price.

"Loquat fruit costs five cents a pound, and loquat dew costs five cents a bowl. Dear folks, loquat is a good thing. The fruit can be eaten raw. Eating it will stimulate body fluids and quench thirst, and make your lips and teeth fragrant! Use it to boil loquat dew or loquat.

Ointment, that would be even better, loquat dew has the effect of benefiting the lungs and reducing swelling, and is a good thing to avoid the heat in summer."

One pound of fruit mixed with water can make two pounds of dew, and a bowl is only about half a pound. The cost of the dew is not high, but it is only valuable after it has been dragged all the way here.

If cooked on site, Xu Jiaojiao could sell it for only three pennies a bowl.

"Okay, give me a pound of fruit first."

"I'm thirsty, bring me a bowl of dew..."

Erya was responsible for weighing the fruits, and they were all very well weighed.

Not only that, after weighing, you have to grab a few and send them out.

Not many were given away, but the customers were happy!

Xu Jiaojiao was responsible for scooping loquat dew into a large earthen bowl, which was filled to the brim.

It's noon, and the sweaty men who have been working in the county town for most of the day drink a bowl of loquat dew with a hint of coolness from the well water, just like drinking a drink, not to mention how refreshing it is.

"Comfortable!"

"Although it's two cents more expensive than the sour soup, this bowl is big enough, the portion is sufficient, and it has a refreshing fruity aroma. It's a fresh dish, and it has the effect of moisturizing your throat, so it's good."

"I've finished the soup, but it's a pity that I can't take it with me. I'll take two kilograms of the fruit back for my kids at home to try."

"Little girl, what's in that bamboo tube of yours? Why don't you give it to us to taste for free?"

Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Dear guests, this is our grand finale, which is Xu's loquat paste. The production cost is higher, and everyone can taste it for free. I'm sorry that I can't do it, but I can open a bamboo tube. Just now

Customers who have bought something here can taste it again for free..."

Saying this, it actually aroused the interest of many people.

The customers who were about to leave after buying something suddenly stopped in their tracks.

There are also pedestrians who are lingering around for a few pennies and can't bear to part with it. They just want to taste it for free from beginning to end. They can't sit still.

Xu Jiaojiao opened a bamboo tube, and a strong sweet and sour smell suddenly came out.

Just putting your head in and smelling it is refreshing.

Looking at the color again, it is clear brown, thick but not thick, and so translucent that it makes people move their index fingers.

"Come on, little girl, give me some to try. My aunt is drooling. I just bought you a pound of fruit."

"Give me some, I just bought a bowl of loquat dew and drank it."



Xu Jiaojiao used the extra small spoon she had prepared in advance for each person, and each person took a spoonful to try it out.

Anyone who has tasted loquat paste will immediately have their eyes lit up.

The same expression as Xu Youde, Xu Zhang and others.

The wealthy customers said without saying a word, "Little girl, how do you sell this loquat paste? How long can it be kept?"

"Fifty cents per tube. This loquat paste is easy to store. If you have a cellar at home, it can be stored in the cellar for about half a year. It is decent to bring out when visiting relatives and friends. It can be eaten as snacks or made into tea.

It’s okay, or if there is a child at home who has a cold, it is quite good to relieve coughs and so on. If there is a long-term smoker at home and the lungs are not good, long-term consumption of loquat ointment is very beneficial..." Xu Jiaojiao pointed at the price after quoting the price.

The small characters on the signboard behind him read to everyone.

Above, I asked the bookstore owner to write a detailed introduction to loquat ointment, etc.

It's all good, it's all good to know.

But the price of fifty cents per tube is a big step away from people.

However, it is a county town after all, and there is no shortage of wealthy people.

"It's a little expensive. I'll buy one tube first and eat it as a snack. If it's as effective as you say, I'll buy you a few more tubes next time."

"Win! Win! This loquat paste is suitable for all ages. Anyone in your family can eat it."

If there is one, there are two. Don’t worry about no one buying it.

In the end, all the loquat dew was sold out. At noon, everyone came to watch the excitement and tasted a small cup of loquat dew to quench their thirst. If they wanted to drink enough, they spent money to buy a big bowl.

It's like drinking a cold drink.

Loquat fruit was second, although it was half sold and half given away, it was also sold out.

Only half of the loquat paste in the bamboo tube was sold, and a small half was still unsold.

It doesn't matter. If you can't sell out today, you can still sell it tomorrow.

They were almost busy. When they stopped, they found that they were so hungry that their chests and backs were pinched. Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Laosi to buy a dozen big meat buns and a dozen white-flour steamed buns.

Each of them ate two big hot meat buns first, and Xu Laosi couldn't help but enjoy them.

Erya was reluctant to let go and eat, so Xu Jiaojiao persuaded her to buy more and go home in the evening so that everyone could have a share.
