Chapter 329 Selling Pine Nuts

Following her memory, she found a dried fruit shop in the county town. Baiyunxi asked her second son to look after the ox cart. She took Mrs. Li and walked in with a small cloth bag of pine nuts prepared in advance.

The dried fruit shop is no different than others. It is also approaching the New Year, and the business is booming.

Anyone who has a lot of money will buy some snacks to entertain guests.

Moreover, most of the customers passing through the store are cleanly dressed and have no patches on their bodies.

Baiyunxi took Mrs. Li around the shop and checked the types of dried fruits on the left and right shelves. On one side were dried fruits such as melon seeds and walnuts, and on the other side were various preserved fruits.

After looking around, Baiyunxi found no trace of pine nuts. She was very confused. If the dried fruit shop did not sell pine nuts, could the pine nuts she brought still be sold?

Just when she was about to ask the shopkeeper about the situation, the waiter came over after finishing his work.

"Auntie, if you need anything, I can help you with some guidance.

Looking at the smiling waiter, Bai Yunxi chuckled, "So I really want to ask you, why don't you see any pine nuts for sale in the store?"

Hearing Bai Yunxi's inquiry, the waiter was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Bai Yunxi's clothes.

"Auntie, I don't know. We have pine nuts in our store and they are placed on the counter. Come with me."

While leading Baiyunxi there, the waiter didn't hide anything.

"Pine nuts are different from melon seeds and peanuts. Customers can try a few when they enter the store. Pine nuts are too valuable and are generally not allowed to be tasted."

After listening to the waiter's explanation, Bai Yunxi thought for a moment and found that it was understandable.

Pine nuts are expensive and the cost is high, so they are really not worth the tasting you and I come and go.

The waiter took out a cowhide bag from the counter and opened it, "Madam, take a look at it, are you satisfied with it?"

Bai Yunxi looked at the pine nuts in the cowhide bag. They were brownish-red in color and slightly cracked. There were a few blackened ones mixed in. The quality could not be said to be good.

"How much does a pound of pine nuts like this cost?"

"One hundred dollars a catty." The waiter looked at Baiyunxi and reached out to grab a handful. It made a clattering sound, which sounded simple.

"This year's pine nut production is low, and our store has not received much. The price is generally a few dollars higher than in previous years. Even so, among the several dried fruit stores in the county, ours is the best quality."

Listening to the waiter's words, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,

"The Chinese New Year is almost here, do you still accept pine nuts in this store? I have some stock on hand, and I went to the city today to inquire about the price."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's words, the waiter looked at her in surprise.

"Do you have any pine nuts in your hand?"

"That's right, so can I talk to your shopkeeper?" Bai Yunxi looked at him. He was fifteen or sixteen years old and had a very pleasant appearance.

"Mom, later."

The waiter came to his senses and without delay, put the pine nuts on the counter, raised the curtain and went to the backyard. After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee came out, wiping his hands as he walked.

"The shopkeeper, this lady wants to sell pine nuts."

The middle-aged man looked at Baiyunxi and smiled kindly, "How many pine nuts do you have in your hands? Can you let me see?"

"Of course,"

With that said, Bai Yunxi asked Mrs. Li to put the prepared cloth bags on the counter.

"The quality of my pine nuts is very good. They are selected one by one to ensure that there are no bad seeds."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's boast, the shopkeeper also denied it. She lowered her head to check the pine nuts they brought. It was indeed as she said. The seeds were full and the color was right.
