On the morning of the temple fair, Li Mo and his party got up in the dark and set out to the next village before the chickens crowed. As for the two children, they were hugged in the arms of adults and fell asleep.

When we arrived at the sugar gourd seller's house in the next village, the chicken had just crowed. It was still dark. The party felt the dark and went to fahua mountain on the ox cart.

When we arrived at fahua mountain, it was just dawn. By this time, many stall operators had already come. Everyone was looking for suitable stalls and putting their own goods.

Li Mo gave the family ten Wen, and then quickly found a good seat. He spread a piece of cloth he had brought from home on the floor, put the ointment on the cloth neatly, and then opened two boxes of ointment in the front to show the passers-by.

Plum asked Li Mo at this time, "sister-in-law, how can we sell this ointment?"

Li Mo thought about it. Generally, things at temple fairs are more expensive than what she usually sells. Usually, her perfume costs five Wen a box. Today, it's eight Wen a box.

Mei Zi thought that a box of eight Wen was also very cheap. "Sister in law, those I used to see in the town, at least 15 Wen a box, and each box is very small. We have so much money, so we only need a box of eight Wen. It's too cheap."

Li Mo laughs, "I don't compare the price with others. I just take the cheap and affordable route and sell it to those people who can't afford or are not willing to buy the perfume in the fat powder shop. These people don't like the perfume, but they are not willing to buy it. If I sell it cheaply and in large quantities, these people will definitely be willing to buy it."

Mei Zi thought that her sister-in-law was right. If she saw such a large box of perfume, she would feel that she had met with something good as long as half of the price outside. She would buy a box and keep it. Otherwise, I don't know if she could buy such a cheap one next time.

On this thought, Mei Zi suddenly admired her sister-in-law, who was good at business and had a good brain.

On the way here, Li Mo has already figured out the division of labor. Later, she is responsible for introducing and recommending to the guests. Mei Zi takes the goods and collects the money. Dashan is looking at the things to avoid being fished in troubled waters. Today, the two children will be taken care of by tie Zi.

A few people nodded one after another and had no opinion on the arrangement.

After a while, the day was completely bright. At this time, people came to the temple fair one after another. Some people wanted to go to the mountain as soon as possible, so they walked very fast and didn't pay attention to the stalls along the way. Some people just wanted to go to the temple fair, so they didn't rush to go to the mountain, but stopped to have a look when they saw those who were interested.

At this time, the peddlers began to shout, and the whole air became lively.

Mei Zi looked at the vendors around and yelled. She was worried. She looked at Li Mo and said, "sister-in-law, people are yelling. If we don't yell, people won't come. Let's yell, too."

Li Mo thought about it, and it was also strange that people yelled at them, just because they stood still, so he began to yell like those vendors, "selling perfume, cheap and affordable perfume, only eight Wen for a box!"

Meizi saw her sister-in-law yelling, and followed her.

Don't say, this call really attracts many people. When they hear the perfume, they still think that today's perfume may not be very expensive. They just want to hear that it's only eight Wen in a box. Although eight Wen is not a small sum for ordinary people, it's too little compared with those perfumes that are always tens of Wen, so the people who hear it are very happy All of them are interested and come to Li Mo one after another.

The first one to come to the stall was a mother and daughter. The mother was in her thirties and the daughter was in her teens. She was also able to get married here. The mother and daughter came to the stall and looked at the perfume. They were surprised to see the weight. They asked, "is this perfume really only eight Wen?"

Li Mo nods with a smile, "elder sister, I only need a box of balsam for eight Wen."

The woman's heart was full of hesitation. Is there something wrong with this ointment? Otherwise, why is it so cheap?

Seeing the woman's hesitation, Li Mo stepped forward, picked up the box of rose balm, and said, "elder sister, this is my secret recipe. The quality is first-class. I sell it cheaply. I make more money by selling it. If you don't trust me, you can try it first. Come on, elder sister, pass me your wrist, and I'll try it for you."

As soon as the woman saw that she could try, she quickly stretched out a wrist. Li Mo made a little bit with her finger and gently wiped it on the woman's wrist. "Elder sister, you can smell it, and you can also let people around you smell it to see if it's very fragrant."

The woman immediately put her hand close to her nose, and sure enough, a light and elegant fragrance came into her nose, which was very pleasant and comfortable.

The woman's daughter also smelled it, and her eyes lit up immediately. "Niang, I don't have to get close to you to smell it. You are fragrant all over."

Li Mo added at the right time, "elder sister, this fragrance is not for a while and a half. It can be fragrant for a day. As long as I just put a little bit of it on my wrist or neck, it can be fragrant for a day. Even if I put a little bit of it on every day, it can last for three months. I only sell eight Wen for such a box. There is nothing more cost-effective, I only sell here for three days, and then I won't sell here. "This elder sister a listen, originally moved heart, this is completely occupied, immediately took out eight Wen money to buy a box.

Li Mo turns around and asks Mei Zi to take a box for the woman and accept the eight Wen money.

When Li Mo was talking, there were a lot of people around. Everyone heard what Li Mo had just said. People around the woman also smelled the fragrance. Now many people came up to buy a box.

Li Mo immediately said to the surrounding people, "my perfume has two flavors, one is the fragrance of rose, the other is the fragrance of chrysanthemum. The elder sister just used the fragrance of rose. You can smell the fragrance. Now who wants to try the fragrance of chrysanthemum? I can give you a free try, and then you can choose the flavor you like to buy. "

As soon as this remark came out, many young women around wanted to have a try, and they came forward one after another to have a try.

Li Mo is not too many people, one by one to the women who want to try on a little ointment.

After wiping, the people who had tried were very satisfied with the fragrance and paid for it one after another. Some people who liked the rose flavor bought the rose flavor, some people who liked the chrysanthemum flavor bought a box of chrysanthemum flavor, and some people who liked both of them bought a box of chrysanthemum flavor.

Maybe it's rare to meet such a temple fair, or maybe the atmosphere of the temple fair has affected people. Today's people are willing to spend money to buy something for their families. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people buying perfume.

Plum has been collecting money to pass the ointment. Song Dashan immediately took it out of his basket to fill it when he saw that there was no ointment on the stand, while Li Mo has been introducing it to the people who came to inquire and trying it out for them. Several people are busy.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, there is no one at the food stall. People are hungry. They either find a place to eat their own dry food or go to the food stall to eat something. This is the busiest time for the food stall. Li Mo and others can take a breath.

Song Dashan took the water out of the basket, and several people drank water to relieve their dry mouth. After a busy morning, they were very dry, even hungry.

The two kids were already hungry. Li Mo asked tie Zi to buy some food for them with money. They were very happy. The four adults were busy, and they have been empty until now.

Li Mo asked Mei Zi to look at the stall. She went to the food stall and bought some meat cakes and steamed buns. One person had two meat cakes and two steamed buns. She squatted in front of the stall and ate them. After eating, she drank some water, and then her stomach was filled. The whole person was comfortable.

After dinner, there were no guests at the stall for a while. Li Mo asked everyone to sit on the cloth and rest their legs. After standing all morning, they were tired.

Although very tired, but everyone is very happy, did not expect that today's business will be so good, the buyer did not stop, plum is the money collection wrist sour, song Dashan also added several times to the booth goods.

At this time, Mei Zi couldn't help asking Li Mo, "sister-in-law, we don't know how many boxes of ointment we sold this morning. Let's count."

Li Mo also wanted to know how much he had sold this morning, so he took the basket and poured it on the stall to count how much was left.

After counting, there were still 48 boxes of balm left. They brought 100 boxes of balm today. That is to say, they sold 52 boxes this morning. After removing the two boxes on trial, they sold just 50 boxes.

A few people a morning to sell out 50 boxes, excited to the corners of the mouth can not help but up.

Li Mo didn't expect to sell 50 boxes in just one morning. There are two and a half days left in the next day, and there are more than 110 boxes left at home. If we sell at this speed, we should not have enough inventory at home.

"Brother Dashan, there are only more than 110 boxes left at home, which should not be enough for the next sale. We have to find a way to do more."

Song Dashan was also a little worried. "When I ordered the box, just in case, I told Uncle Zhang to continue to do it these days. We need to do as much as we can. We don't have much time to pick flowers to do it."

Li Mo thought about it, looked at the rest of the ointment, and made up his mind to say: "we don't have much ointment left today. We'll try our best to sell them early in the afternoon, and then discuss with the family to borrow their bullock cart to go back ahead of time, and then go to pick some flowers while it's daybreak. We'll rush to make the ointment in the evening. It's just a hard work for you, brother Dashan, and we'll have to save people I'll go home with them when my bullock cart comes back. "

When song Dashan heard this, he could only do it like this. He nodded immediately, "that's what to do. In the afternoon, I'll try to sell out the ointment as soon as possible, and then I'll go back and make more. Uncle Zhang should have a new box. I'll go back and get it. I'll use as many as I have."

That's the deal. In the afternoon, a few people even yelled, selling the rest in a little more than an hour. While other vendors were still selling, they picked up their things, got on the borrowed ox cart, and rushed home.
