- I exist to butcher Translations 😂

After that, the people who gathered dispersed. Gu Chunzu felt a little panicked. The fee cost her 15 coppers. If she didn't sell any prawns, its a loss.

"Sister-in-law, don't feel distressed.

It's worth the money you paid. You won't be scammed by doing business in this street. There are also no thieves here, everyone is protected by Boss Long."

Gu Chunzhu listened and understood that the man who collected the money was probably similar to to a city management. Perhaps it was for the protection fee. It was quite reasonable, it was also good to get along with street vendors.

And the most important thing is for the river prawns to be sold!

"Buy some fresh shrimps, don't miss it when you pass by!"

Gu Chunzhu shouted, learning from the stall owners in her previous life who used loudspeakers to promote their products.

It's just that she's using her mouth and was shouting, making her throat a bit painful, but this was also effective.

Soon, Three or five grocers gathered around.

"Sister-in-law, how much for this shrimp?" A maid carrying vegetable basket reached out.

"5 coppers per bowl." Gu Chunzhu replied.

The maid squinted her eyebrows and said disgustedly:

"This bucket is dark, I don't know if it is mixed with dead shrimp."

Gu Chunzhu's face contorted. This maid seems to come to make a scene and not to buy.

She was ready to fight back but the vegetable uncle gave her a meaningful glance.

Seeing that Gu Chunzhu didn't speak for a long time, the woman said.

"I'll have a bowl if you dont have enough money."

Gu Chunzhu laughed in her heart, saying things just to cut price.

"Everyone can see clearly. I caught the prawns one by one from the river. They are absolutely fresh and alive, none of them are dead."

Gu Chunzhu said, reaching for the river prawns on the wooden barrel.

The river prawn leaped on Gu Chunzhu's hand, splashing a few drops of water to the picky maid.

"Oh, I see." The maid said while covering her face, she added, "It's still expensive. There aren't any bites of meat in this shrimp."

Gu Chunzhu looked at the crowd of guests who were staring at her shrimps. They seemed interested, She can't let this maid stir up everyone's emotions.

She hurriedly explained:

"Although the shrimps are all from the river, they are not easy to catch. I caught them one by one. You can buy a bowl of this shrimp, and put it on boiled noodles. You can also fry it with some lard, the taste would be delicious and will make your tounge fall off. "

" Oh, fried shrimp with lard, Isn't that a waste of lard! "Aunt Niang with her arms crossed said, still waiting for Gu Chunzhu cut prices.

"Auntie, it will be winter in a while, and there are'nt many fish in the river" Gu Chunzhu reminded, as not to cut the price.

"Sister-in-law, can I buy two bowls?" The aunt behind the maid squeezed and said.

"Okay." Gu Chunzhu took a bowl of prawns from the wooden bucket, drained the water, and poured it on the aunt's bamboo basket.

The river prawns were still alive.

The aunt hurried home holding her basket.

Gu Chunzhu happily accepted the coppers.

With this aunt, the business started well, some customers saw Gu Chunzhu's sincerity, they said: "Give me a bowl."

"I also want a bowl."

Three or four bowls were sold all at once, then every time Gu Chunzhu collected the money and listened to the collision of copper plates, his exhaustion disappeared.

Seeing that the auntie maid at the beginning of the inquiry had not left, she asked: "Auntie, I think you really want to buy my prawns. I can't cut the price but I can give you a few more prawns later. "

"Really? sister-in-law is sure very good at doing business."

The Aunt maid reluctantly pulled out the copper from her purse and stuffed it into Gu Chunzhu's hands.

Gu Chunzhu scooped a full bowl of river prawns for her and poured them into her basket. The aunt smiled and walked away.

"Prawns, fresh rambling prawns! Buy some, It wont be a loss"

Another wave of shouts successively attracted guests. The original six or seven bowls left of shrimps were sold. A little half a bowl was left.

The sun is approaching noon, she had to rest and eat at home, Gu Chunzhu put the barrel in her back basket, preparing to leave.

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute."

The uncle who sold vegetables shouted.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Gu Chunzhu put the back basket down again. Today, the uncle helped her too. If she lost her patience with the aunt just now, she might lose patronage. .

The uncle put his tabaco away and rubbed his hands embarrassedly. He asked, "Can you take this cabbage for some shrimp? You can also try it for the family."

Gu Chunzhu looked at the uncle who sold vegetables. Chinese cabbage ah. She nodded, "Of course I can, I can't even ask for it, our vegetables at home are still seedlings, It's not so easy to eat vegetables."

She scooped out the shrimps left on her bucket. The vegetable uncle also handed her cabbage, bigger than a human head.

Gu Chunzu was somewhat embarrassed and said:.

"My prawns are not enough, I'll give you additional money"

"No need. We grew this cabbage our own" The uncle waved politely.

The cabbage handed over by the uncle weighed about five catty.

Gu Chunzhu's stall was close to him so she knew that the cabbage was sold for one copper per catty.

Unable to insist, Gu Chunzhu put the Chinese cabbage in his back basket, got up and left.

"Sister-in-law, your bowl."

The uncle couldn't help but shout, he was anxious that Gu Chunzhu forgot to take back the bowl.

"I'll fish more shrimp and will come back. You must keep it first."

Gu Chunzhu turned his head and smiled to the uncle.

Gu Chunzhu took out the copper coins she earned today and counted it out. There were 35 coppers.

This is a business without capital, Gu Chunzhu was very happy, she would also be able to fish for prawns every day.

This is an additional savings.

Originally, she have 6 silvers left from her hairpin and Su Wangqin gave her 2 silvers. A total of 8 silvers.
