Chapter 429: Becoming a Specialty
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That was why Su Binglan opened her accessory store there. She used the hotpot restaurant’s foot traffic to drive the stores business. She believed the
items in the store would be popular in no time.
Since no such items existed in this era, it was a novel experience for many people, especially since more visitors like business people came to Teng He town from other places.
Since the visitors could not bring certain foods back, they would bring home items from the accessory store as souvenirs. Su Binglan believed the backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls would become local specialties.
‘It’s nice to give these items as gifts.’
Of course, Su Binglan did not expect many people to visit the accessory store that afternoon. Since it was on the east side of town and more people were there, they would walk past the street on regular days.
The townsfolk could not help themselves and checked if the hotpot restaurant was open as they passed by. As they looked, they noticed that the shop beside the hotpot restaurant was open instead. Outside the store was a signboard with the words “Su’s Accessories.”
No one knew what it was, but after seeing the Su branding, some could not help but go in to take a look. Everyone was amazed when they saw what was inside, especially the women and children.
The children did not want to leave when they saw the rag dolls, wailing and begging their parents to buy them. Fortunately, the store sold cheap and expensive dolls so everyone could buy one according to their budget.
The adults liked the dolls, too, and they would buy one for their children if their conditions allowed it. Some were obviously from wealthier families with many children, so they bought a few at a time. That was because some dolls were cheap, and the smaller ones were only two copper coins each.
Meanwhile, the madams and young ladies of wealthy families liked the gorgeous-looking handbags. They picked their favorite patterns, carried the handbags, and felt them. Most ended up buying at least one handbag before leaving.
However, some visitors came from low-income families and lived frugally, so they could only quietly leave after looking around the store. Still, they thought they would buy their desired handbag when they had money.
The handbags were practical and good-looking. One could even carry them when one went to buy small things. The primary purpose of carrying a handbag was to exude dignity.
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin did not expect the store to receive many customers so soon. Su Binglan saw that her brother and sister-in-law could handle it, so she did not worry.
Soon, she left the store with the couple and went to the east market. The accessory store was far from the market, so she had to walk awhile.
After turning a corner and entering the market from the east end of town, she saw many people from a distance, gathering before a stall to line up. Su
Binglan saw the food cart and knew Su Wenwu and Song Yi were selling stinky tofu.
She was surprised to see so many people buying stinky tofu.
“It hasn’t even been an afternoon, and the stinky tofu is already so popular?” She muttered.
Su Binglan thought everyone would avoid the cart after smelling the strange fragrance. Still, Su Wenwu and Song Yi followed her instructions and gave the first 20 customers a free sample each.
She knew the townsfolk would find the stinky tofu delicious if they tried it at least once. As time went on, the stinky tofu business would improve. That was what she had imagined.
However, she never expected the stinky tofu to be so popular right from the start. The townsfolk no longer thought the smell was strange.
“I’ll take a big order. I bought a small one for my wife to eat. She didn’t want it initially, but after finally trying it, she said it was delicious and insisted I buy her a big order.”
“Hahaha, my kid likes it too. I’m lining up for a second time now.”
“My neighbor told me how delicious stinky tofu is and that it has the Su branding. That’s why I rushed here to buy one and try it.
Su Binglan brightly smiled when she saw this scene.
She did not prepare much stinky tofu for Song Yi this time, but he sold out in just half an afternoon. Many more people wanted to buy it but could not, so Song Yi had no choice but to say, “Everyone can return here tomorrow at noon. I’ll have more stinky tofu then.”
“Still, you guys should come earlier. There might be nothing left if you’re late.” Song Yi did not expect to sell out in such a short amount of time. He had initially planned to return to Su Teng Village to get more stinky tofu to sell.
However, Su Wenwu said, “My sister told us we don’t have to sell so much yet.
Since we’ve run out of stock, let’s put the cart in the hotpot restaurant’s
backyard. You should also go home early and rest.
“Also, tell your parents not to worry. Bring this two stinky tofu back for them. Don’t argue, okay?”
“All right,” Song Yi said. He could not wait to go home and share the good news with his parents. He knew they would be happy if they knew what he had done today.
Su Wenwu thought of something and said, “I told my sister about your father’s foot when she was making lunch this afternoon. She says she’ll ask my second brother to treat your father. Don’t worry about my second brother’s medical skills. They’re outstanding.”
Song Yi believed in Su Wenwu.
After putting the cart away, Song Yi ran home. He was excited to go home and tell his parents about everything. Although Teng He town was far from Northern Mountain Village, Song Yi sprinted home.
It was already evening when he reached home, and the sun was about to set. It would have taken him two hours to walk, but he ran home and arrived in just over an hour.
Mr. Song was arranging pine wood and firewood when his son got home. Meanwhile, Mrs. Song lit the fire for cooking.
The older couple rushed out when they saw their son. “Did you run back, my dear son? Why are you sweating all over?”
Song Yi was panting and wanted to speak but could not. However, Mr. and Mrs. Song knew something good must have happened when they saw their son smiling widely.
Immediately after, Mrs. Song quickly poured him a bowl of water.
After drinking the water and resting briefly, Song Yi said, “Father, Mother, these are for you to eat. Wenwu was right about Su Teng Village doing exceedingly well now. His sister is such a capable person!
“Also, I’m selling stinky tofu on a small dining cart. I’ll earn at least 150 coins monthly, and if I sell more, I’ll earn more. I sold a lot today. Wenwu told me to bring this stinky tofu home for you to try.”
Song Yi told his parents everything that had happened today, no matter how big or small the details were. He could not stop smiling as he spoke.
Mr. and Mrs. Song anxiously awaited Song Yi’s return, wanting to know what he was doing in Su Teng Village. The older couple was shocked when they heard his words. They finally returned to their senses after a long while.
Mr. Song sighed with emotion, “I’m glad you met a good friend like Wenwu. You’re in for an incredible journey and fortune, my son.
Mr. Song was thrilled. The typically severe and strict older man revealed a proud smile while his wife wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, saying,
“That’s great, Song Yi..”
