150 Calling Out to Customers
Then, she started to shout.
“Cold glutinous cakes, we’re selling cold glutinous cakes! It is a refreshing and delicious cold cake that is essential for relieving summer heat! It only costs 5 wen for a bowl, and 8 wen for two bowls! Come buy some cold cakes!”
Lin Xiaoyue’s voice was clear and loud, quickly attracting the attention of the people around her.
“Aunty, would you like 2 bowls? You and your grandchild can have one each, only 8 wen! If it’s not good, you don’t need to pay!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly locked onto an old woman with a child.
“Cold cakes! 8 wen for 2 bowls. If it doesn’t taste good, it’s free!”
This sentence instantly attracted more people.
With the old woman with the child in the lead, a group of people surrounded them.
“Yes, if it’s not delicious, it’s free! This is a cold cake made of polished rice. It only costs 5 wen for a bowl, and 8 wen for 2bowls! Aunty, would you like 2 bowls of cold cakes, one for you and one for your little grandchild?”
“Are you sure you won’t charge us if your cold cakes are not delicious?!” The old lady looked at the big bowl of cold cakes on the table in front of Lin Xiaoyue and said, “I’ve never seen this before!”
“Yes, if it’s not delicious, it’s free! This is a cold cake made of polished rice. It only costs 5 wen for a bowl, and 8 wen for 2 bowls!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
The old lady’s eyes flashed with hesitation.
However, the child beside her tugged at her sleeve.
“Grandma,” He looked like he was pouting.
Lin Xiaoyue had already taken a small bowl and was ready to cut the cold cake.
Soon, a piece of yellow cake was in the small bowl.
As the bowl wasn’t big, it looked like the portion was big.
“Two bowls for you. I won’t charge you if it’s not delicious!” Lin Xiaoyue said again.
As she spoke, she scooped a large spoonful of brown sugar syrup and poured it on the cold cake.
“A cold cake made from polished rice with brown sugar syrup, it’s delicious!”
The old woman saw that the cold cake was attractive and had a large portion. She also heard that it was made of polished rice and they even added brown sugar syrup. She looked at it and was a little tempted.
“Then give me 2 bowls to try,” finally, she gave in.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue’s happy face, she quickly said, “if it’s not good, I won’t pay you!”
“Of course! If it’s not good, I won’t take your money!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.
She was still smiling.
Then, she walked out from behind the table, bowed, and handed the small bowl of cold cake to the child who was holding the old woman’s hand.
“Come, little boy, you try it first!” She said with a smile.
The child’s face was a little red as he looked at his grandmother.
The old woman was amused and said, “take it. Didn’t you want to eat it just now? Help me try it and see if it tastes good.”
Her grandson was so obedient that he asked for her permission before taking the food. She was very satisfied.
In addition, she liked that Lin Xiaoyue gave the cold cake to her grandson first and let the child judge whether the food was good or not.
She did make it sound like it was very delicious.
“Okay!” The child smiled and took the cold cake from Lin Xiaoyue.
Several people who wanted to buy the cold cakes were waiting for his feedback.
She said that it was free if it wasn’t delicious, but how could that be true?
They had never seen anyone selling this before. It’s made of polished rice and was even mixed with brown sugar syrup. It should taste good.
The child finally began to eat with a spoon.
With just one bite, his eyes lit up.
“It’s delicious! It’s so sweet!” He quickly said to his grandmother.
When the surrounding people heard this, they suddenly had the intention to buy it.
Two children were tugging at the adults’ pants, already asking for them to buy it.
“Here, aunty, this bowl is for you. There’s a stool over there, please sit down and enjoy it,” Lin Xiaoyue handed over the second bowl of cold cake.
