Buying things is just like that, once you get the first one, there’s bound to be a second. Everyone knows how to calculate, and compared to bringing their own food, chewing on cold, raw buns and drinking cold water, having a big pancake or a pork bun in your stomach, followed by a big bowl of steaming bone broth, it’s absolutely a Fairy-like life indeed.
So, everyone started to ask Yang Ruxin if she would come every day, and if they could have bone broth every day.
"Miss, if you come every day, I won’t bring my own food," a young man spoke up.
"Of course." Yang Ruxin smiled, "But in the future, everyone should bring their own bowl. I can provide the soup, but I really don���t have that many bowls." Today, she brought over ten wooden bowls and Erni did nothing but wash bowls the whole time, even Gu Yao lent a hand, and even Gu Qingheng helped with collecting money. Since he couldn’t see, Yang Ruxin just put a basket on his lap, so people just needed to consciously throw copper coins in it, as people here wouldn’t come to spend Silver or silver notes.
In just about half an hour, the bucket of batter Yang Ruxin prepared as well as the twenty pork buns were all sold out.
There were even some people who had just heard that the food sold here was quite good and were hurrying over, but sadly it was all gone.
"Everybody, come early tomorrow," Yang Ruxin said smilingly to the disappointed crowd.
"Will you make more tomorrow then?" another person asked hopefully. It’s just human nature; at first when there’s a lot, everyone is watching, afraid that being the first to act might result in a loss, but when it’s gone, they become reluctant to accept it.
"No," Yang Ruxin shook her head decisively, "because my cart is only this big and can’t hold too much in terms of ingredients, so when it’s gone, it’s gone..."
"Then, will you come out to sell at lunch or in the evening?"
"My home is in the village, quite a distance from the town, so for now, I only sell in the morning..." Yang Ruxin replied while packing up her things and answering everyone’s questions.
After getting their definitive answers, people left disappointed, but in their hearts, they all thought about coming earlier tomorrow.
"Xinxin, you’re really amazing." Qingheng, holding a basket full of copper coins, beamed with joy, "You made forty-two pancakes and sold twenty pork buns, totaling four hundred and fifty-six coins..."
"Qingheng, do you have a computer for a brain or what?" Yang Ruxin exclaimed, mouth agape, "I don’t even remember how many I made." And this guy can do mental math.
"Big brother is really good at mental calculation," Gu Yao said proudly.
"Calculation is quite interesting," Qingheng smiled faintly, "Xinxin, you can do it too, right?"
"How do you know I can?" Yang Ruxin smiled back.
"Heh." Qingheng fell silent. Could he say it was just a feeling? He just felt that this girl could do anything, so he never dared to hide anything from her. Thankfully, he had a smart brain; otherwise, he felt he would be ashamed of himself.
Yang Ruxin did not ask any further, just as they reached the entrance of a courtyard.
"Why come here?" Gu Yao looked around.
"This is the courtyard I bought." Yang Ruxin took out keys to unlock the courtyard gate, "But it’s not cleaned up yet."
Gu Yao looked surprised and then swiftly wheeled Qingheng inside, "It’s even bigger than the one in the village."
