Chapter 54 (2/2)
“Uncle, we are students who are broke. So we came to sell some snacks,” answered Cheng Nuo while smiling.
However, after Cheng Nuo said that, the man’s expression changed immediately. He turned to attend to his customers and ignored Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo was confused but did not bother with it. They spread out the cloth in Cheng Nuo’s bag and poured the snacks on it.
The “Xiaoxiao Snack Bar” had officially opened for business!
After a while, none of the hikers came forward to approach them.
“Why isn’t anybody coming?” Jiang Qingqing did not understand as it was her first time selling things.
Cheng Nuo replied, “I think people don’t know that we are selling the snacks, since we are dressed like students.”
“Then what should we do?” asked Jiang Qingqing.
Cheng Nuo, the experienced one, said, “Let me do some shouting.”
Cheng Nuo thought that he had to take action if he wanted business to improve.
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Selling snacks! Selling snacks! It is only twice as expensive as the market price! We are selling the snacks which you can get for 5 Yuan for only 10 Yuan here. Yes, only 10 Yuan! Only 10 Yuan!”
Mu Leng was speechless.
Jiang Qingqing was speechless.
The middle-aged man was speechless.
Hmm, although it made sense, it sounded really awkward!
Cheng Nuo did not stop shouting.
“Others are selling their things at four to five times the market price. Our stall will not accept any bargains. All the snacks are only twice as expensive as market price! We will not cheat your money! Only twice as much! Twice as much! What are you waiting for, come and buy now!”
The public finally realized that something was wrong.
Yes, although the things sold on the mountain were more expensive than the normal price, Cheng Nuo was shouting as though it was worth boasting about.
Even if it was twice as much as market price, it was still more expensive! Cheng Nuo made it sound as though they were being nice, but they were ultimately still exploiting the customers.
“Cheng Nuo… Cheng Nuo, I don’t think it’s good for you to phrase it like that,” Mu Leng said while drowning.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Nuo smiled and pointed at the few people in front of them. “Look, we have customers.”
Although what Cheng Nuo had done seemed unreliable, he had put it out and attracted attention. Everyone at the rest area knew that Cheng Nuo was selling snacks that were twice as expensive as the market price. Therefore, they swarmed towards him like old ladies who saw discounted eggs in the supermarket.
“You guys are only selling things twice as expensive as the market price?” asked a young man who was about 25 years old while frowning.
“Yes. What do you want? I can help you get it!” Jiang Qingqing said as she thought they finally got a customer.
