Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 41 - 40 Enemies on a Narrow Road

Not everyone was willing to spend that much money on such a small cake.

If she had more time, she could guarantee that everything would be sold.

But the morning market lasted for such a short time, how could she sell so many?

Xu Niannian thought anxiously for a long time and suddenly, her eyes lit up as she came up with an excellent idea.

Really, how could she not have thought of this before?

If she made too many, she could go and find others to sell them.

Those places that sold dry goods and cakes would definitely be able to sell them.

Doing business to the highest degree wasn’t about how much she could sell by herself, but how much others could sell for her.

And to have others begging to help sell for her at that.

Previously, because she had thought about opening a shop, she worried that letting others help her sell would take away her future business.

How limited her thinking had been at the time.

She hadn’t thought that when she opened her shop later, she wouldn’t mainly sell cakes.

Moreover, she could get free advertising from others.

An excellent idea suddenly formed in her head.

Just as she was thinking, Zhiqiang had also woken up.

Seeing the kitchen piled with so many cakes, Zhiqiang was shocked.

“Sister, how did you make so many?”

When he went to bed last night, there hadn’t been even half as many.

How long had she stayed up making more after he went to sleep?

“Can we really sell all of these today?” he asked, concerned.

Xu Niannian took a deep breath and said confidently, “Don’t worry, we can sell them all.”

How could they possibly not sell out?

Since today’s quantity was a bit much, Xu Niannian simply packed them up in clean bags and went to the county town with Zhiqiang carrying them.

Though there were more than five hundred, the cakes were not big and one large bag was just enough to hold them.

Upon reaching the county town, Zhiqiang still wanted to go to the morning market, but Xu Niannian held him back.

Xu Niannian said, “We’re not going to the morning market today.”

Zhiqiang puzzled, “Not going to the morning market?

Where are we going then?”

“To the dry goods store.”

Places that sold dry goods generally also sold cakes.

Xu Niannian found the best store with the busiest trade in the center of the county town.

Because her face was wrapped in a layer of cloth, people curiously stared at her.

Xu Niannian, unafraid of strangers, took two Liuyue Su in her hands and asked Zhiqiang to wait outside while she went in.

The dry goods store was doing well since it was located in the center of the county town and was large in scale.

Comparable to an average restaurant.

The hall was roughly two hundred square meters, with several square tables set up inside.

Xu Niannian didn’t rush to find the owner at first but asked the passing customers why the store did so well selling just dry goods.

The customers told her that the reason the business was so good was that the owner’s daughter could sing opera, and the son-in-law could tell stories.

Many wealthy men and women with time to spare would come here to listen to opera.

While listening to opera, it was natural to buy some cakes or sunflower seeds as snacks.

This form of entertainment, most popular in ancient times and during the Republican period, was also favored by quite a few people with a taste for nostalgia.

Hearing this, Xu Niannian was even more satisfied with the place; under such circumstances, it would be much easier to sell the cakes she brought.

What she feared was not the lack of people, but that those who came wouldn’t be willing to spend money.

Those with the leisure to spend such spare change for entertainment, would they really be reluctant to buy some exquisite cakes?

After inquiring about the situation, Xu Niannian headed straight for the counter.

A young girl was guarding the counter, and she happened to be someone Xu Niannian knew.

Strictly speaking, they weren’t really acquainted, but they had had a fleeting encounter before.

Seeing Xu Niannian approaching her wrapped in a thick scarf, the girl was somewhat afraid, worried that Xu Niannian might have some contagious disease.

Xu Niannian didn’t start by trying to build rapport with anyone, since there really wasn’t any rapport to build.

This girl was none other than the woman from the couple who had initially had some objections to her when Xu Niannian first went to sell water.

“Miss, does your shop accept cakes?” Xu Niannian asked straightforwardly, not liking to beat around the bush, directly stating her purpose.

Upon hearing this, the girl thought she was just another peddler coming to sell goods and waved her off dismissively, “We don’t accept, we don’t accept, our shop has plenty of cakes, we don’t need yours.”

Saying this, she was about to shoo Xu Niannian away, not because she looked down on Xu Niannian or was trying to bully her, but because Xu Niannian was so thoroughly covered up, she was apprehensive that she might indeed have a contagious disease.

“Miss, please don’t be hasty, I guarantee my cakes will bring better business to your shop.” Seeing that she was about to drive people away, Xu Niannian quickly said.

Maybe because Xu Niannian’s voice was so pleasant to listen to, the girl gave Xu Niannian another look but still said, “I’ve said no, our shop sells cakes, we make them ourselves.”

Xu Niannian wanted to say more, but suddenly she heard a familiar and annoying voice behind her.

Startled, Xu Niannian hurriedly covered her eyes, talk about a small world.
