CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 145: REFUND (BONUS 2)

"Freshly baked vegetable-stuffed bread."

"Delicious vegetable-stuffed bread."

Aunt Chen smacked the two on the back: "Didn’t eat breakfast or what? Shouting so softly, who can hear?"

The eldest Chen daughter-in-law was about to cry, glared and bit her teeth, spread her legs slightly, and squatted down, presenting a horse stance, with her breath sinking into her abdomen, "Selling vegetable-stuffed bread, delicious vegetable-stuffed bread, one dime each vegetable-stuffed bread!"

Perhaps the voice was too loud, it really attracted a customer.

"This is the first time I’ve heard of vegetable-stuffed bread, give me one."

"Oh, okay!" The second daughter-in-law quickly started stuffing vegetables into the bread.

Without a table, they could only squat on the roadside, which looked quite unseemly.

"Even when setting up a stall you don’t know to get a table, just squatting here stuffing vegetables, what if saliva drips in?"

The second daughter-in-law hurriedly replied, "I won’t let my saliva drip in."

"You already opened your mouth to speak, your mouth is so close to the vegetables and bread, how can saliva not fall in?"

"I..."

"Stop babbling and hurry up with the work!"

The second daughter-in-law felt aggrieved, quickly handing out the bread stuffed with shredded potatoes.

The customer who had paid already, "Just this? Adding shredded potatoes to the bread is called vegetable-stuffed bread?"

And the vegetables might just have saliva sprayed in!

"This tastes good, give it a try."

The customer’s brow furrowed, but money had already been handed over, saying no now wouldn’t refund it, had to bite the bullet and take it.

With just one bite, the customer started cussing: "These potato shreds don’t even have oil and salt, just added into the bread dared sell for one dime each? You guys are too greedy!"

If it tasted better, it wouldn’t matter, but the potato shreds had an indescribable taste; whether it was a taste of a wiped not-washed rag, or mouth saliva, who knows.

Anyway, made it hard to swallow.

With such a shout from the customer, people who originally headed this way were scared off.

Everyone works hard to earn money, who wants to be ripped off?

The customer held the vegetable-stuffed bread, neither eating nor throwing it away.

Too disgusting, absolutely couldn’t eat.

But wasting food is shameful, if not eating, he might even shame himself.

Anger welled up, the customer simply started yelling while holding the vegetable-stuffed bread.

"Don’t ever come to buy vegetable-stuffed bread from them, it’s a total rip-off! Expensive, bad taste, poor hygiene, even spit saliva into the vegetables."

Aunt Chen was thrown into chaos, could only beg the customer not to shout anymore.

"I took a bite from this vegetable-stuffed bread, not asking you to refund all, refund nine cents is not too much, right? If not refunded, I’ll stand here today, definitely won’t let you sell one!"

Aunt Chen was already desperate, fearing losing business, specially went to Uncle Zhao for one dime in coins, refunded nine cents to the customer.

The customer generously returned the bitten vegetable-stuffed bread.

The customer left in a good mood.

Food wasn’t wasted, money wasn’t spent in vain.

As for the penny not refunded?

Treat it as a lesson learned!

Aunt Chen grabbed the vegetable-stuffed bread and stuffed it into the second daughter-in-law’s mouth: "Eat, finish this for me!"

"Mom, this was eaten by someone else?"

"Eaten by someone else so what? When we couldn’t eat before, people scrambled for clay and bark, now eating a bitten vegetable-stuffed bread makes you feel aggrieved? If it weren’t for you spraying saliva, they wouldn’t have asked for a refund! Your meal for today is this vegetable-stuffed bread, if not eating just starve!"

The second daughter-in-law felt extremely aggrieved.

People asked for refunds clearly because it was bad tasting, worthless, what’s that got to do with her?

But she was oppressed miserably at her in-laws, dared not go against Aunt Chen, could only sulkily bite the vegetable-stuffed bread.

After the morning rush, Lin Xiang rubbed her aching lower back, "Mom, I’m going to wander elsewhere, see if there’s anyone selling rabbit skins, ask Granny Yang and Xiwang for prices."

"Go ahead, don’t go too far, there will be more business later."

"Got it."

Exactly at the fair, there was a family selling rabbit skins, not as complete as Xiwang’s, the tanning wasn’t neat either, some places had burnt hair.

"How much for a piece of your rabbit skin?"

The seller raised three fingers.

"Three dimes?" That’s not expensive.

The seller glared at Lin Xiang with an "Are you kidding me?" look, "For three dimes I’ll let you touch it! Less than three bucks, no sale."

"Three bucks? Why don’t you go rob? A laying hen doesn’t even sell for three bucks, a rabbit only has a few ounces of meat, not to mention three bucks, can’t even sell for one buck, a piece of skin you want three bucks?"

Seller has heard such doubts too many times, didn’t care at all, "Rabbit and rabbit skins are different, do you know how much effort it takes to skin a rabbit completely? Moreover, mine is tanned, worth this price!"

"But your fur is burnt, greatly affects appearance."

"Make it into shoe insoles, under your feet doesn’t show."

Lin Xiang rolled her eyes, "I spend three bucks on a rabbit skin just to make two pairs of insoles? Are you dumb or is my brain messed up? I let my mom make me a pair of insoles which doesn’t even cost a penny!"

"Then...how about selling to you for two bucks?"

"One buck, can’t go higher!"

"Your haggling is too harsh?"

"Selling or not? If not, I’m leaving!"

Lin Xiang made a show of leaving, seller quickly called her back, "Add a bit more, one and a half bucks I’ll sell to you."

"One buck two."

Seller considered for quite a while, finally gritted teeth agreed, "Okay, one buck two it is, then you give me a bowl of spicy noodles."

Having smelled spicy noodles all morning, he had long been craving.

Lin Xiang readily agreed.

Three bucks for a tanned rabbit skin is absolutely overpriced, but a good looking one is surely worth two bucks.

This piece had burnt fur, affecting appearance if made into gloves, could only make insoles, but at high price to make insoles few people. Lin Xiang bought for one buck two, did not take advantage, if she didn’t buy, seller couldn’t sell it either.

And she spent one buck two to have Lin Yun make two pairs of rabbit fur insoles, wouldn’t feel bad.

At three in the afternoon, people at the fair gradually dispersed, Lin Xiang also planned to pack up.

Uncle Wang’s brought twisted bread sold seven-eighth, half the basket was empty.

Uncle Zhao’s Ding Ding candy and malt candy still had two-thirds, but candy was naturally heavy, selling a third meant business was good enough, so much so Uncle Zhao’s face crinkles were about to laugh off.

In stark contrast to this happy scene was the miserably looking Chen family daughters-in-law.

At mealtime, a few people came to buy vegetable-stuffed bread, but feedback as same as the first customer, all felt ripped off, loudly asking Aunt Chen for refunds.

Aunt Chen knew she wouldn’t sell much today, simply broke down, rather fight with customers, unwilling to refund.
