The first person to try it was already amazed, “It’s really surprisingly delicious, girl, how do you sell this banana?”
Su Yi didn’t have a scale, but she had already weighed it when she was at Liuzi’s.
These bananas were large and evenly sized, about 3 to a pound.
According to Liuzi’s selling price, it was about 40 cents a piece.
But Su Yi thought that her bananas were, after all, products of the spiritual spring space, and eating them was very beneficial to the body, so it wouldn’t be excessive to sell them for 50 cents each.
If it were any more expensive, she probably wouldn’t be able to sell them.
Sure enough, when Su Yi announced the price of 50 cents a piece, many people started to complain about the price.
“Why is this fruit so expensive? 50 cents can buy a pound of apples.”
“Yes, one of your bananas can buy half a pound of pork, it’s better to eat pork than this.”
Seeing that some people were complaining about the price, Su Yi didn’t argue, just smiled and said, “This banana is indeed expensive, but it’s also rare, otherwise we wouldn’t have any to sell here, let alone in the middle of winter.”
“Think about it, these bananas were transported all the way from the south, thousands of kilometers.”
The crowd thought about it and realized that what Su Yi said made sense.
“This thing really looks quite rare, it’s not easy to get to our small place in the north, it’s like it has passed five checkpoints and cut down six generals.”
Seeing that many people were hesitant, Su Yi didn’t try to persuade them.
She just smiled, “No problem, if you think it’s rare and want to buy some to take home for your children and elders to try, even if you just buy one, it’s up to you. If you don’t want to buy it, stay and have a look, just consider it as supporting me.”
Then, she started to introduce the melon seeds to everyone, “We have all kinds of flavors for our melon seeds, individually packaged, clean and hygienic, just two cents a bag.”
As she spoke, she opened a bag of each flavor for everyone to try.
Some people’s minds were still fixed on the bananas, “Give me ten bananas, my family has many elderly people with bad teeth, they don’t know how many more years they have left, it’s just right to buy some they’ve never eaten before to show them filial piety.”
Some people also remembered their children whose teeth hadn’t grown in yet, “Give me five, I’ll take them home for my daughter to try.”
Some people only wanted one or two.
Su Yi took a small knife and patiently cut them one by one.
There were also many people who were reluctant to buy bananas, thinking that these packaged melon seeds were quite rare, and it was rare to find them fried so deliciously, so they bought melon seeds instead.
Su Yi was overwhelmed, one moment cutting bananas, the next moment fetching melon seeds.
She was sweating profusely, but she was incredibly happy when she received the money.
After the first wave of people left, the bananas were almost sold out, and the melon seeds were completely gone.
The 24 yuan worth of melon seeds were sold for 40 yuan, Su Yi exclaimed that she had bought too little stock.
The 300 jin of bananas bought for 90 yuan, although some were left, had already sold for almost 400 yuan.
This was truly a profit.
It was a pity that the scene was too chaotic today, and she didn’t have time to properly promote the headbands.
She could only wait until she came to the county next time.
Looking at the time, Su Yi prepared to pack up and go home.
Just as she was bending down to pack up, she heard a familiar voice from the side of the road, “What are you buying? You’re not afraid of choking on a 50-cent banana? Do you think your exam results deserve this banana?”
Su Yi looked up, oh, wasn’t this her eldest brother Su Dahai, the most promising member of their family?
Su Dahai was the only person in the village who had attended high school, and he had always been the pride and face of his parents.
After graduating from high school, he found a job at the textile factory in the county, and married the daughter of the workshop director, which was considered a first-class achievement in the whole village.
On the surface, he was kind and honest, but that was actually just for show.
At home, especially in front of his younger sister, he was no different from his father, being very concerned with face and liking to act as a big brother and educate others.
Just now, he was walking by with his daughter, the girl saw everyone else buying bananas and wanted to eat one too, but she was immediately scolded.
Su Yi saw it was him, and quickly lowered her head.
Fortunately, she was completely wrapped in her military overcoat, and half of her face was covered by her scarf, plus there were many people around, so she wasn’t recognized.
After they left, Su Yi quickly packed up her things.
Following Su Dahai and his daughter, she arrived at the textile factory’s residential building.
From the moment she saw Su Dahai, Su Yi had an idea. Instead of going back alone, she would bring her brother and sister-in-law along.
Her brother loved face, and in front of the villagers, he would definitely maintain his reputation, preventing things from getting too ugly.
Especially in front of his wife, he would absolutely not let them look down on them.
Moreover, the only person her mother feared was her sister-in-law, so she wouldn’t dare to beat anyone in front of her.
Thinking of this, Su Yi quickly took a bunch of bananas from her space and knocked on her brother’s door.
As soon as the door opened, Su Dahai was stunned, “Xiao Yi?”
Su Yi’s eyes turned red, “Brother, I finally found a relative.”
Su Dahai was completely confused, and Su Yi had already bypassed him to find her sister-in-law, Wang Fang.
Wang Fang was currently in the room listening to her daughter’s complaints, and her heart was already filled with displeasure.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her “sister-in-law,” and when she looked up, the person was Su Yi, her little sister-in-law who had disappeared for half a year.
She was holding a large bunch of bananas in her hand.
Su Yi greeted her and handed the bananas over, “Sister-in-law, I haven’t been here for a long time, I saw someone selling bananas outside just now, so I bought some for my niece to eat.”
The mother and daughter were just about to go out to see if the banana vendor was still there when someone suddenly brought them some.
Naturally, they were very happy.
They quickly pulled Su Yi’s hand and led her to sit on the sofa.
“Xiao Yi, I heard your brother say you went to the northwest, when did you come back?”
Su Yi had already built up her emotions at this point, and when she was asked, she immediately started pouring out her sorrows.
She elaborated on her broken engagement and the events that led her to return.
“It’s all my fault, I couldn’t hold onto his heart, and now I have no money, no one with me. I really have no face to go back home.”
“Sister-in-law, to be honest, I arrived before noon, but I didn’t dare to go back. I had no other choice but to come to you. Please let me stay for a couple of days!”
Upon hearing that she wanted to stay, Wang Fang quickly gave a signal to Su Dahai.
Then she patted Su Yi’s hand and said, “What are you afraid of? You are not at fault in this matter, it is that person surnamed Qin who wronged you. Why should we hide and not dare to go home?”
“I say, we must go back home. Don’t worry, your brother and I will accompany you back together!”
Su Yi looked at Su Dahai, “Brother, will you and sister-in-law support me in this decision?”
Su Dahai knew that Wang Fang did not like his family, but today, being so polite to Su Yi was all because of that bunch of bananas.
Just a moment ago, the two of them were arguing over the bananas, and suddenly seeing his sister with the bananas, gave him some face.
So he readily agreed, “My sister was bullied, as her big brother, I will definitely support you! Let the Qin family know that we are not to be messed with.”
