""Is this really necessary?" Goat Beard became annoyed when he heard he had to sign a statement just to make a purchase. "Why do I have to sign when others don’t?"
"It’s precisely because it’s you!" Yang Chuxia snorted, "Are you buying or not? If you are, then sign the damn thing and be done with it. If not, then get lost! Others don’t need to sign because they don’t have a criminal record, unlike you!"
Goat Beard’s nose twitched with anger, and his little beard quivered.
He didn’t want to buy anymore and wanted to leave but his wife had urged him to buy some as the peanuts were very popular at their tavern these days.
Seeing Yang Chuxia’s firm stance, Goat Beard grumbled, "I’ll sign!"
So, Ye Zi’an took Goat Beard inside. The rest of the people who wanted to buy peanuts lined up on their own. Actually, there were only a few people who wanted peanuts, but everyone loves a bit of excitement, so they gathered around to watch the scene.
After a while, Goat Beard came out with his beard still quivering, "Now that everyone has made their purchase, I want whatever’s left!"
Uncle Niu glanced at Yang Chuxia, and seeing her not saying anything, weighed the remaining peanuts for Goat Beard.
Only then did Goat Beard take his stuff and leave grumbling.
When he was gone, the other customers gradually left, and Yang Chuxia laughed, "Before I came into the shop, I thought someone was here to cause trouble. I didn’t think they were making a scene just because they couldn’t buy something. It seems our nut shop is doing well."
"Indeed, it’s not bad at all!" Uncle Niu laughed, "The stock we pulled in before the shop opened is almost sold out, especially the pine nuts which are limited in quantity. There’s not much left."
"Hmm, there are not many pine nuts left at home either, but the new batch will be available soon. In a few days, the villagers can pick up fresh ones," said Yang Chuxia. "For the next few days, let’s set a smaller quantity for the pine nuts."
"Would that be alright?" asked Uncle Niu.
"It’s fine. People are buying them just for fun, not as a staple food. Eating a little less won’t hurt," replied Yang Chuxia, tilting her head. "Besides, we’ll have new varieties arriving in a few days, which will be a fresh treat."
"What kind of new varieties?" Ye Zi’an was puzzled as he hadn’t heard about this before.
Yang Chuxia clapped her hands and smiled, "Well, it’s true that good people get good rewards. The new variety was contributed by Old Uncle Shen. Our family has fried sweet potato chips, and he provided us with fried potato sticks and potato slices. The potato sticks made using his method and ingredients are really good."
Actually, the potato slices are just modern potato chips, which she had forgotten to introduce when opening the snack shop.
It struck her only when Old Uncle Shen told her about the fried potato sticks that potato sticks and chips were very popular in modern times.
However, it’s impressive that Old Uncle Shen, as an ancient person, could come up with such ideas.
Especially the ingredients he provided, which made the potato sticks even tastier than the modern fried ones.
"Uncle Bo is indeed grateful!" Ye Zi’an nodded in agreement.
Yang Chuxia laughed upon hearing that, "But I didn’t take his ingredient recipe for granted. I paid him silver for it."
"Yes, Xiaxia is not the type to take advantage of others."
