Chapter 26: Selling Well
The train station is always bustling with hundreds of people, and with people getting on and off the train, the crowd is endless. Qin Xiangmei isn’t scared of making too many scallion pancakes, nor is she worried about not being able to sell them; her only fear is that she won’t be able to handle it all.
She made over one hundred and fifty pancakes, wrapping them neatly in a quilt. Then she ran out to the courtyard and fetched a small wooden cart, the same one she used to play with when she was little—it’s like a modern baby stroller, but all made of wood and very sturdy. She thought of using this cart in the afternoon, otherwise, she really wouldn’t have dared to make so many. Inside are two large boxes, and she placed the pancakes on the cart and pulled it along, staying silent on the way. By the time she reached the station, she was sweating profusely.
She extracted the boxes from inside, and before she could set up, a regular customer approached.
"Little sister, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," the person said, pulling out 50 cents, "Here, give me five pancakes. My husband loves your pancakes; last time I bought three, and he ate two by himself, even snatching the last one from me. I’ll buy more this time."
Alright, please wait a moment. Qin Xiangnuan hurriedly put on a plastic glove, took out five pancakes, and adeptly handed them to the woman in front of her. The pancakes were still hot to touch. The woman couldn’t help but take a bite right away,
They’re really delicious.
She couldn’t help but praise and quickly carried the remaining few home. By now, many people had smelled the aroma. This time, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t even need to call out before people gathered around to buy the pancakes. That proved her right.
