Selling Continues

After thinking of possible difficulties for her little fool's lone campaign of selling chestnuts in the city, the biggest issue was the problem of counting money. So, to make sure everything will be fine, she gave him a few simple maths exercises to do.

So one could imagine the expression on Liu Xiaolan's face and the shock she felt when she saw her little fool use arithmetics to count.

Here, she was still fearing that her little fool would be cheated by some unscrupulous people, but it somehow ended up that Mu Yuchen not only knows how to count, but in some examples can do it faster than her?

Liu Xiaolan almost shed tears after knowing this fact…

Just where did the little fool learn this? Let's not say normal people, but even many scholars wouldn't be able to use their memory as a base for arithmetic knowledge and use it to count. While in some west countries at this point in time it could be possible, in the Datang Empire most people still used the old fashioned abacus.

However, Liu Xiaolan couldn't think of a possible answer to her own question, so she just gave up. Anyway, perhaps one day her little fool will be able to tell her himself from where he acquired such knowledge.

Meanwhile, in Shenyang, Mu Yuchen put the money in his pocket before passing over 2 small buckets filled with chestnuts. "Here you go, lady. Your 2 buckets of chestnuts, do come back again in the future."

Yu Xiaomei looked at the buckets and seemed interested in them. "Oh, why are you selling chestnuts in such small buckets? Isn't it better to just sell them in sacks?"

Even though Mu Yuchen knew why Liu Xiaolan decided to sell chestnuts in smaller quantities after she told him her reasoning, he didn't feel like sharing this knowledge with outsiders. "I don't know, my lady's orders."

Yu Xiaomei was dissatisfied with this answer, but she knew that Mu Yuchen wouldn't tell her anything more. She took her buckets with chestnuts and went back to her shop.

Well, it's not like she needs to know why they do it. Just by looking at it, she can imagine some of the reasons for selling in such a packaging. Hell, perhaps if her business needed it, she wouldn't mind creating a similar packaging for her own products.

Luckily for Liu Xiaolan and her little fool, Yu Xiaomei was just a simple woman with a shop selling some clothing ornaments. Perhaps if a bigger player in the field of food sales happened to notice her way of sales, the next time Liu Xiaolan went to the city smaller packaging would already be used by them directly in their sales.

Mu Yuchen was satisfied with the first sale of the day and continued to work hard. After all, his lady already mentioned this to him. It's either selling all of their products, or coming back once the time is up.

Thinking that there's no point in spending so much time in the city for no reason, Mu Yuchen sprung into action and tried finding more customers for his stall.

Although he was still awkward when it came to communication with random people, he still managed to make a good progress and in just a single hour, all the old buckets of chestnuts were sold.

Mu Yuchen quickly went back inside Liujia Wood Workshop to pick up the new buckets prepared for today. Once he was done, he started selling again.

However, the change of the product seemed to cool down the enthusiasm of people. After all, just moments ago he still sold chestnuts for 100 copper coins, now it's suddenly went up to 150 copper coins.

Although they can also get a little more in the new packaging, but a lot of people still feel discomfort in their hearts.

Just as Mu Yuchen was feeling a little bothered, thinking of possible ways to bring back customers and quickly finish his sales for today, he noticed a repeated customer.

He walked towards her and said, "Little girl, do you want to buy chestnuts?"

"Oh, handsome uncle, it's you again!" The little girl said with a smile, clearly excited. "Yes, the chestnuts tasted good!"

Yes, this little girl is exactly the small lady that bought Liu Xiaolan's chestnuts the day before. It would seem that this time she wasn't followed by her maid, but beside her was a man in similar age to Mu Yuchen was following her.

"Brother, look, I've bought the chestnuts yesterday in his stall…" The little girl said happily.

The man looked Mu Yuchen and was a little intrigued. His little sister was heavily protected by his parents since her childhood, so she wasn't aware of most dangers in the city and her values were basically messed up.

As long as she identified someone as good looking, she would immediately put him in her 'good person' category, believing in all of their words.

Adding to this fact were also her maids words, that felt that she was humiliated by Mu Yuchen and Liu Xiaolan. Since she had no positive feelings for them, the things she said about their personality weren't good in any way.

Although the man couldn't believe the maid in all honesty, but he still wanted to follow his sister today and see the couple that was selling the chestnuts.

Otherwise, if they turn out to be truly as bad as they were described to him by the maid, wouldn't his little sister be kidnapped by them and sold? This little dumb girl probably wouldn't even say anything against being sold, hell, she could even help them count the money as long as the person selling her was handsome!

Thinking of this, the man looked at his sister and had a headache. How is it, compared to the rest of the family, this little girl's emotional thinking is completely different? It wouldn't be that his parents adopted her, would it?
