Chapter 236 Selling Popcorn

When Gu Chunzhu returned to the town, it happened that the bullock cart was parked not far from the school, so she wanted to take a look.

This popcorn is a ready-made thing, and it is not difficult to prepare the raw edge paper that is going to be sold. When you see it is feasible, you are ready to come here to set up a stall.

It happened to be the time when the students were leaving school. The stalls outside the school were very lively, and the students in long gowns looked neat. There are also all kinds of stalls, some sell oranges, some sell tea eggs and smoked chicken legs, and some sell steamed buns.

Hey, little sister-in-law! Brother Wang saw Gu Chunzhu with bright eyes.

Gu Chunzhu went over and saw that he was holding a straw tied again, with candied oranges and candied raisins stuck on it. The sun was still cold and there were not many fruits that could only sell these two things.

Brother Wang, I want to set up a stall here. Are there any rules here?

Is there any rules? I carry it on my shoulders and don't need to pay. If you want a better stall in front of you, you still have to pay. This street is also managed by the boss of Guilong.

After asking Brother Wang, Gu Chunzhu has a bottom line, and plans to buy winter bamboo shoots tomorrow morning, and come to the school gate tomorrow night to sell popcorn and raw edge paper.

She asked Brother Wang to buy two bunches of sugar grapes, and a bunch of penny was considered a gift, so she went home with a rabbit lamp.

Mother, is that the rabbit lamp you bought for me? An An jumped out from the door and hugged Gu Chunzhu's leg, and the little black dog on the side also wagged its tail and walked around her leg.

Gu Chunzhu stuffed the rabbit lamp into An An, and finally pulled out his leg, This is from Aunt Xiaoxi. She is a very, very good aunt and very beautiful.

Hee hee, Auntie Xiaoxi, did you see An An in a dream? Mother will bring me to see her next time. An An played with the rabbit lamp and didn't even bother to eat sugar grapes, thinking that the rabbit lamp was very novel. .

The lamp bone of this rabbit lamp is made of strips, and it is also pasted with thin paper. There is a small candle in it, which can be lit when it is lit. Gu Chunzhu promised to light it for her at night and send her to play. .

In the evening, Gu Chunzhu marinated the duck's head, and directly made the duck miscellaneous vermicelli soup, and made a few pancakes to accompany it.

After eating, Gu Chunzhu also discussed with Su Wangqin about setting up a stall at the entrance of the school, but Su Wangqin naturally followed her.

After selling the winter bamboo shoots on the second day, Gu Chunzhu went to the gate of the school.

Some stalls have been set up for a whole day and naturally got good positions early. Gu Chunzhu moved the stove to occupy a place that was neither good nor too far. She also had a small table with a stack of small ones. A raw edge paper with orchids drawn on the corners.

Popcorn, fragrant popcorn! Gu Chunzhu shouted.

But the student in the long gown went straight to the stall she wanted to eat after school, and shouting didn't help, so she was going to make a pot of popcorn and set it up to attract people.

Heat the pan, add oil and powdered sugar, Gu Chunzhu sprinkled the corn kernels into the pan and the sound of crackling popping in the pan attracted many students.

Auntie, what are you selling? a student asked.

When he was only in his early twenties, he was called auntie here. Gu Chunzhu pinched his leg and warned himself not to be angry. The students here are all in their teens, about the same age as Xiao Cheng, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being called Auntie.

Gu Chunzhu's breath eased a little, and replied, Popcorn, it'll be out of the pot later, why don't you try it?

The students gathered around Gu Chunzhu's booth to watch her popcorn come out of the pot. The crackling sound stopped, Gu Chunzhu took out the firewood and lifted the lid of the pot, and the sweet fragrance overflowed all at once.

Five cents and one oil paper bag, try it first! You can buy it after tasting it. Gu Chunzhu greeted warmly, but she was not stingy when trying to eat.

When the students saw that they could still taste it, they stretched out their hands to take it. It tasted good and they tried another popcorn. The one pot of popcorn was divided and bought, and there were many others that were not bought.

A pot of popcorn can only hold three oil paper bags. This pot only contains a small handful of corn kernels, a handful of sugar and a little tea oil. The profit is extremely high, and Gu Chunzhu is also happy.

Popcorn is coming soon, please wait a while. Gu Chunzhu also greeted the waiting students.

She opened a pot again, and the corn kernels were crackling in the pot, which was very lively. While shaking the handle of the stirring, Gu Chunzhu sold them the rough-edged paper with orchids painted on it.

Students, do you want to take a look at this raw edge paper, how beautiful it has flowers painted on the side, and one penny! Gu Chunzhu showed them the raw edge paper.

This rough-edged paper is only fifty cents per knife, and it is sold for forty cents in bookstores, and one knife of paper can make ten cents. The price is not expensive.

Is this printed? a student asked, flipping through the raw edge paper.

Before Gu Chunzhu could answer, another student next to him said, You're stupid, how can you print so smoothly?

That's true, but every painting is exactly the same! the student who had asked the question murmured.

Whether it's printed or painted, it's all good to look at it. When you practice calligraphy, this paper is different from others. How good is it? Gu Chunzhu captured the characteristics of teenage children who want to be unconventional.

Sure enough, the two children were also a little tempted. When the popcorn was out of the pot, one of them bought a package of popcorn and three sheets of paper with orchids.

As soon as the popcorn is out of the pot, the smell will attract many customers. Gu Chunzhu's business is very good, and the person selling roasted sweet potatoes on the side is very angry.

Eyes are sticking out.

On her first trip, she didn't bring much with her. The raw paper has been sold out. After thirteen pots of corn kernels were sold, there were only a few left. The remaining corn kernels were not enough for one pot. Gu Chunzhu popped the rest while the pot was hot. Go back and feed An An.

Boss, what are you selling? A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

It's Da Zhuang, my aunt is setting up a stall here to sell popcorn. Gu Chunzhu looked up and smiled.

She eagerly pulled Da Zhuang over, and put the hot food that burst out of the pot into the oiled paper and stuffed it for Da Zhuang, and the small bench she brought was also for Da Zhuang to sit on.

There are not many students left on the street. Why is Da Zhuang still here? Gu Chunzhu asked, Why haven't you returned home yet, but what happened at home? .

Auntie, we've moved to town, and the mover isn't available to pick me up today, so I'll go back by myself. Da Zhuang answered Gu Chunzhu's words while eating popcorn with his head down. He was very busy.

Why didn't you tell me about this, my aunt is going to help you, let's go together. Gu Chunzhu thought about it and knew that Mrs. Fu must be afraid of bothering her, so she was ready to move in and talk to herself.
