Chapter 1284 Ethical Person
Li Gui got on the three-wheeled vehicle and left the house hurriedly. In a flash, she disappeared into the alley. The three-wheeled vehicle was almost as heavy as three Li Guis. No one knew where she got the strength to ride it so quickly.
Qiao Mei shook her head resignedly. The two of them were really a pair of biological mother and daughter. Even their hobbies were the same. They both liked to earn money!
Li Gui had woken up in the wee hours of the morning. Qiao Mei had originally planned to let Zhao Fei rest for a few days as there was no hurry to sell the goods. However, she did not expect Li Gui to be the first to disagree! Now that the seeds were already on the way to the capital, business would become even more prosperous after two days. She did not want to miss out on the chance of making a single cent. Given that she still had the energy to make popcorn at the moment, she wanted to make the best use of her time.
It was a workday today and most people had gone out to work. At noon, most workplace units catered lunch for their employees, so there was no need for anyone to come out to buy Li Gui's braised meat.
Li Gui turned her attention to the family compound not far away, which was also near Xia Fang's neighborhood. There were many doctors and teachers residing there who were so busy that they did not have time to cook at all. There were also many elderly people at home in that compound, so it was a good place to sell braised meat!
She pushed the vehicle and stood quietly downstairs. This was the first time she came out to sell braised meat and she was full of confidence! She did not even have the same amount of confidence when she sold seeds and popcorn.
She firmly believed that the things Qiao Mei made would not be inferior and that there would definitely be buyers! Furthermore, she expected everything to be sold out,
Not long after, an old lady came back from marketing. She looked curiously at the four big metal containers in Li Gui's vehicle. She had never seen anyone selling things in this manner!
"Sister, what are you selling?" the old lady asked.
Li Gui opened the container and the fragrance wafted over. The old lady's eyes lit up. She had never smelled anything so fragrant!
"Elder sister, this is braised meat that I made myself. This is pig intestine, this is pork liver, this is pig's head meat, and this is braised pig trotter. Do you want to buy some to try at home?" Li Gui asked expectantly.
"How much is it?" the old lady asked.
Li Gui did not discuss this matter with Qiao Mei at home. She made a decision and said, "The liver and intestines are one dollar a pound! The pig's head meat is one-fifty a pound, and the pig trotters are 80 cents each."
The old lady got a shock and quickly took a few steps back. She waved her hands and said, "Sister! This is too expensive! One dollar can buy three pounds of meat! Your price is so scary!"
"You don't have to use meat coupons to buy this. Besides, imagine the taste. Buy one pound to try. I promise that you will want to buy more after you try!" Li Gui patted her chest and made a guarantee.
The old lady was a little hesitant. The braised meat was indeed very fragrant, but the price…
"If you think it doesn't taste good! I won't charge you!" Li Gui said generously.
When the old lady heard Li Gui say such arrogant words, she went home without another word and brought back a big bowl. She wanted to see how delicious Li Gui's braised meat was!
Another important reason was that she was not a good cook. Her family always complained about the food she made, so she wanted to offer them something nicer during mealtimes.
Li Gui did not hesitate. She picked up the big ladle and filled the bowl with pig intestines for the old lady. The old lady had been buying meat for so many years that she could tell the weight by feel. Li Gui's one full ladle of meat, excluding the sauce, was definitely more than one pound. It was perhaps almost one and a half pounds. She was an ethical person.
"I'll go home and try it now," the old lady said as she handed Li Gui a dollar.
Li Gui hurriedly dropped a few more pieces of pig's head meat for the old lady and whispered to her, "Elder sister, if you think it's delicious, please help me publicize it."
"My surname is Liang. You can call me Sister Liang. Seeing that you're so forthright, I can't take your things for free. Wait a while. I'll put down the bowl and bring you around to promote the food." After saying that, Old Madam Liang walked home and returned not long after, followed by two boys who were about 16 or 17 years old.
After the two boys greeted Li Gui politely, they ran around the building floor by floor. The people living here had been neighbors for decades. It could be said that every family had watched the children in the compound grow up. When they heard that there was something good to try, they quickly went downstairs to join in the fun.
"Sister Liang, are they your grandsons? They're so good-looking! And so polite as well. One look and I can tell that they have a good upbringing!" Li Gui said enviously.
