"Huh? What is that little girl over there shouting?" At the entrance of Jinji, an old man in the queue was discussing with the person behind him.

"It sounds like they're selling mooncakes. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Forget it. My grandson is a picky eater. He loves Jinji's cakes. He can definitely tell if it's not from Jinji."

"Then you queue up here, I'll go over and take a look. Even if we get another pot, it may not be our turn. My family doesn't want that."

The speaker was a middle-aged man. After he finished speaking, he looked at the long line in front of him, greeted the old man in front of him, and left the line.

It wasn't just the man who left. Several people who were originally at the end of the team also looked towards Gu Qingqing with interest. When they saw people leaving the team and heading that way, they followed over to join in the fun.

"Delicious and inexpensive mooncakes. If you eat them this year, you will want to eat them again next year. Grandpa, grandma, uncles and aunts, come and try them. It's free." When Dahua saw someone walking towards them, she shouted even harder in front of the stall.

This time, Gu Qingqing didn't need to turn the bamboo basket upside down because Wen Wuyan had woven a bamboo lid for her basket.

She spread a piece of clean white coarse cloth on the lid of the bamboo basket, and then covered the cloth with clean bamboo leaves.

There were six stacks of mooncakes on the bamboo leaves, with only five in each stack.

It feels refreshing just looking at it.

"Dahua, come and eat mooncakes." Gu Qingqing prepared the mooncakes and shouted to Dahua who was shouting.

Dahua obediently ran to Gu Qingqing and said, "Mom, are you really going to eat it?"

"As long as it tastes delicious, more people will come to buy it." Gu Qingqing said, taking one of the mooncakes, cutting it into two and then into four.

After giving one of the pieces to Dahua, Gu Qingqing used her excellent dividing skills to divide the remaining three small pieces into six small pieces.

Gu Qingqing saw someone approaching and quickly called out, "Big brother, come and try the five-nut mooncakes I made earlier."

As he said this, he picked up a piece with a bamboo skewer and handed it over.

The man didn't rush to take it, but asked, "How do you buy this mooncake?"

Gu Qingqing smiled and held up the bamboo stick in her hand, "Brother, it's free to try it first and see if it suits your taste!"

When the man heard that it was free, he didn't think much about it. He took the bamboo stick she handed over and put the food on it into his mouth.

Then the man's eyes lit up and he chewed faster and faster, "Hmm? Delicious! How much is this?"

Gu Qingqing's eyes narrowed as she smiled. "This is a five-nut mooncake. Each one costs thirty cents."

"How much?" The man coughed lightly upon hearing this and almost coughed out the few mooncakes in his mouth.

He was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth, but suddenly he felt that the mooncake in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

Gu Qingqing glanced at the other person's fine cotton clothes and said, "Brother, you have seen the world and you can taste the difference in its flavor. So, thirty cents each. You will definitely not lose out if you buy it."

Gu Qingqing said this, as if afraid that the other party might not be able to hear clearly, and at the same time made a gesture with her right hand.

"Is this made of gold? Why does it cost thirty coins? I remember the mooncakes across the street cost only twenty coins."

"Brother, you are such a joke. If it were really made of gold, I wouldn't dare sell it like this. If someone accidentally eats it, it could be fatal. Just now, you said that his has two kernels, and mine has five kernels. You can see the real ingredients. As for how it tastes, brother, you can judge it yourself! You only eat these once a year, do you want to buy a few to try?"

The man turned around to look at the old man he had just chatted with, and now there was someone else standing behind the old man.

Looking at the end of the long line, the man's tongue searched the remnants between his teeth and thought: It smells really good, and it's really expensive.

The man didn't want to go back to queue, so he gritted his teeth and bought four.

When Gu Qingqing saw that the other party was buying it, she hurriedly wrapped it with clean bamboo leaves.

"Take your mooncakes. They are delicious. Come back often."

The man paid the money, took the mooncake, and walked away quickly without looking back.

If there is a first business, there will be no second one.

After the second one tried it and heard the price, she really thought her mooncake was too expensive, and ran back to the line with a grumble.

As a result, those who were about to come over but had not yet arrived, when they heard the price, retracted their legs and followed the line back.

Gu Qingqing saw all of this and was just about to say that this wouldn't really be a one-time deal, but the guy who ran back said something in the team.

Then she saw a few more people in the team walking towards her.

"I heard your mooncakes are delicious!" A woman in a hibiscus-colored skirt asked Gu Qingqing in an affirmative tone.

"Madam, you will know after trying it." Gu Qingqing handed out another piece without saying a word.

The lady was rich, and after hearing the price she not only did not run away, but also bought six at once.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say "sweet and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth".

When the people who gathered around heard this, they grabbed a piece to try and some bought five, while others bought two.

Of course, there are also people who take the opportunity to eat a piece and run away.

She divided a mooncake into several pieces for tasting, and after they were all eaten, she didn't plan to make more.

At this time, the person behind us saw that there was no sample and deliberately said, "If we don't try it, how can we know whether it is good or not?"

Gu Qingqing looked at the man in front of her who spoke and suddenly chuckled.

When she was selling Shaobai two days ago, this man also said he wanted to try it, so Gu Qingqing let him try it. But after he finished eating, he said, "It's tasteless!"

Damn it, she just pretended she didn’t notice him pursing his lips after he finished eating.

Are you planning to do the same thing again this time?

Gu Qingqing said with a half-smile on her face, "Big brother, do I look familiar to you? I was selling Shaobai in the inner street a few days ago."

The man was stunned after hearing this. He looked Gu Qingqing up and down and finally understood what was going on.

He groaned, "Look at the look in my eyes. I was wondering why you looked familiar. Turns out you're the one selling Shaobai. You guys go buy some. Hahahaha." The man laughed but backed away, trying to give way to the people next to him.

By the time he had finished speaking, the man had already walked away.

Gu Qingqing's words were taken over by another young man, "Hey, are you the one selling Shaobai?"

Gu Qingqing looked at the young man in front of her who was younger than herself and said jokingly, "If there was only one store selling shaobai in the town, it should be me."

The young man was excited when he heard it, "Hey, did you bring any Shaobai today? I didn't even get to eat it last time, so I must buy it today."

After the young man finished speaking, he looked up and down at the bamboo basket in front of Gu Qingqing, hoping to see some meat inside.

Gu Qingqing said apologetically, "I may disappoint you today. We are only selling mooncakes today. How about you buy a few to try? On the day of the Moon Worship Festival and the day before, we will go to the town to sell Shaobai and mooncakes. You can come and take a look at the street then."
