Chapter 123 The Grandma Who Buys Sugar Paintings
After hearing this, Nan Muchen was stunned for a moment?
She made the products for this small business, and even if people didn't like them, she could still refuse to charge them. This old lady is really honest.
He had never met such a person when he was in Kyoto before.
Don’t say that he won’t charge you for not doing a good job. Even if you look at the thing twice more, he will still want you to buy it.
The old lady thought this was very normal, and soon the fire started.
When the old lady was making candy, a lot of children appeared from nowhere and gathered around to watch.
However, these children were still quite sensible and did not get too close. They just watched from a distance, sniffing their noses constantly.
Just like they can smell the sweetness of sugar in the air, they want the sweetness to go through their noses and into their bodies, as if they were eating the sugar.
Just this makes these children very happy.
Qin Yueran couldn't help but smile as she looked at them. The happiness written by the children was so simple.
Suddenly she came up with a good idea that could help the old lady and make the children happier.
"Grandma, how many sugar paintings can you make with the remaining sugar?"
"You can boil all the sugar later, make sugar paintings and give them to the children. I will pay for them."
After Qin Yueran finished speaking, there was a moment of silence around them.
Even the children were silent and stared at her blankly. Qin Yueran was also confused. Did she say something wrong? Couldn't these people accept what others gave them?
But she soon realized that she was worrying too much. It was not that they could not accept other people's things, but that they thought the things were a little expensive and they were embarrassed to accept them.
"Thank you, big sister. We can't take your things. The price is too expensive. It's not appropriate."
"Yes, big sister, we can just watch from the side."
"Little girl, I know you mean well, but buying sugar paintings for so many children is really a big expense."
"Yes, it's not easy for anyone to make money, so it's better to spend it sparingly."
Qin Yueran knew that they sincerely wished her well, but she had collected so many things in her space that she could not spend them all in several lifetimes.
How much money could she spend just to buy a few sugar paintings for these kids? Not even one ten-thousandth of her little treasury.
Faced with these sincere eyes, Qin Yuran really didn't know how to persuade them for a moment, but she quickly thought of a solution.
"In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that I came out this time to do good deeds and pray for the elderly in my family."
"So I have to do one good deed every day, and charity is naturally one of them."
"I saw these children today and thought of giving each of them a sugar painting. I hope you don't mind and that you like it. Okay?"
Everyone nodded when they heard her say this. After all, people still believed in these things at that time.
When an elderly person in a family has an emergency, it is normal to pray for blessings, make a wish, or seek good fortune.
When the children saw that the adults agreed, they jumped for joy.
Qin Yueran asked them to count and line up, and then asked the old lady and the others if the candies she had were enough for everyone.
After all, she said she would send everyone off, and she didn't want to see some children leave feeling disappointed.
The old lady counted the number of people, probably looked at the candies again, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, little girl."
"You also know the value of this candy. Grandma doesn't have that much money, so she didn't buy that much."
"And I think this is not that attractive in the market, and people may not spend money to buy it."
Qin Yuran nodded after hearing this. This thing is indeed not very attractive to ordinary people, after all, the price is there.
Even if the child likes it very much, the parents will not be willing to spend money to buy it for him.
"Grandma, this thing is really not suitable for here. Don't buy this next time you go to a stall."
"Please sit down first. I'll go get you some more candy. We can't let the children down."
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
"Then I will process the candy you bought for free. You only need to pay the initial amount."
Qin Yueran didn't care. She would still pay whatever she had to pay.
Qin Yuran stood up to leave, and Nan Muchen, who was standing beside her, followed her.
"Why are you following me? I'm just going to buy something and will be back soon."
Nan Muchen was worried about her being alone, so he wanted to follow her. He didn't say anything, just stood behind you and watched you.
Qin Yuran smiled when she saw him like this, "Okay, go buy it."
"I'm just standing here watching grandma draw sugar paintings. There are so many people here to keep me company. It's okay. Go and come back soon."
Nan Muchen glanced at the people around him, and everyone gave him a simple smile.
He felt more at ease leaving Qin Yuran here, and he was very fast and would be back soon.
But when he arrived at the shop, he was a little confused. He was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to ask the other party how much candy he needed.
Following the principle of buying more rather than less, he planned to buy five kilograms directly.
The shop owner was stunned when he heard what he said. This was a big customer.
He had never seen anyone buying five kilograms of sugar. Even wealthy families who came here would only buy one or two kilograms.
But it's a pity that it was not easy for him to earn this money, because the people who went out to purchase goods have not come back yet.
He now has less than four kilograms of sugar left, and if he sells it all to him, others won't be able to buy from him.
So the shopkeeper said a little embarrassedly, "Sir, I'm really sorry, but we don't have the amount of sugar you asked for."
"Can I weigh two pounds for you first?"
"It may take five or six days for the people who go out to buy goods to come back. I have to keep some here. If I sell them all to you, others won't be able to use them."
Isn’t Nan Muchen the kind of person who likes to make things difficult for others?
What the other party said made sense. After he saw the other party weighed the sugar, he found that two kilograms of sugar was more than he had imagined. It looked like there was more sugar than on the old lady's stall.
That should be enough, so he paid the money, took the candy and left.
When he returned, Qin Yuran had already started eating. She originally wanted to share the food with the children first.
But those children were very polite. If Qin Yueran didn’t want to eat, they would definitely not eat.
Since they were so obedient and sensible, Qin Yuran did not give in to them.
This old lady's technique is quite good. She made the sugar very well, not mushy at all, but not too sticky either.
