Hao Cheng asked the blacksmith to make a special wheel under the stove, prepared the materials, and prepared the stall in the market. In case of emergency, she went to the official office to go through a full set of formalities before entering the market.

originally thought that the yamen would have to work hard for a while, but her new neighbor was a warm-hearted person, and there seemed to be some connections in the local area, so things went unexpectedly smoothly, and the official in charge of the food market also specially arranged a good position for Hao Cheng.

Hao Cheng's car was hung with a sign with the price written on it, and at Qiao Mu's suggestion, she gave the finger cake a name, Ruyi hand cake, simple and rude, but it sounded auspicious and easy to remember.

On the first day of business, Hao Cheng pushed the cart to his own position, silently lit the charcoal fire of the stove with a fire breaker, those guests saw that the new food was fresh, but they had never tasted it, and felt that this cake was a little expensive, most of them just looked at it, but no one bought it.

Children are more greedy, but also dare to try new things, smelling the aroma, so they pestered their parents to buy: "Mother, I want to eat that!" ”

Adults can't take children, so they have to step forward and ask, "How do you sell this cake?" ”

"Vegan bread and lettuce are ten cents each, you can add additional vegetables, five pieces of meat slices, ten pieces of tenderloin, three pieces of shredded potatoes, and five pieces of eggs."

Hao Cheng inquired about the price set by the market, the best Tian Ji meat buns sold here cost ten wen each, ordinary fresh meat buns also cost five wen, raw eggs sold for three or four wen, tea eggs and fried eggs are generally five wen, this price she set is not too high.

But the other party still frowned: "Why is it so expensive, can't it be cheaper?" ”

Hao Cheng smiled: "I use all good materials, the amount is sufficient, and the cake consumes a lot of oil." However, the stall is newly opened, and the first ten customers will have a half-price discount for the first three days, but the half-price is limited to one cake per person. ”

Half-price discount, that's more than a little cheaper, and it's only available to the first ten guests. The man bought one first, tried it and said, "Just a normal pie and nothing else." "Children can't eat spicy food, so Hao Cheng added a sweeter salad dressing.

Hao Cheng took the five cents given by the other party, skillfully pressed the dough, and within a few minutes, he wrapped the hot finger cake and handed it to his first guest.

The child shouted to eat, and the woman who accompanied the husband and the child smiled and comforted: "The cake is hot, and the mother will give it to you when it is cold." A family of three stood in front of the stall. The woman tasted only one bite, and then said, "Two more, no, eight loaves of bread." ”

Hao Cheng opened his mouth and said, "But there are only three people here, so I can give you half the price for only three points." ”

The woman waved her hand impatiently: "I know, five parts is five parts, you can do it quickly." Before, she was reluctant to worry that it would not be delicious, but she was naturally willing to bring a few back to her family to taste.

With the first customer to advertise, there are gradually more people in front of Hao Cheng's shop. Like this kind of food street, those who want to buy and hesitate to the guests hurriedly come to spend money, knowing that the first three days of the first ten people have a half-price discount, but unfortunately they are unlucky to catch up, but for the sake of food, or buy one by one to try it.

There are many rich people in this area, and they are naturally happy to spend money on food. I heard that the people around me said that it was delicious, and they were also busy joining in the fun. It didn't take long for a long queue to form in front of Hao Cheng's car.

Originally, Qiao Mu was worried that Hao Cheng's business was not good, and he was going to let his sisters come to cheer, but after looking at the long line, he knew that he was worrying about it.

Hao Cheng's business is good, the first three days were particularly hot, she brought fixed materials every day, and left after selling the materials for a day, absolutely no fresh ingredients.

I haven't done such a high-intensity thing for a long time, Hao Cheng feels that his arms are so sore and soft that he sometimes can't exert himself when eating, and his chopsticks can't even hold up tofu.

Hao Chengding's car was big, and when there were many people, there were six or seven cakes fried on the iron pot at the same time. In the first three days, she would make about six or seven hundred cakes a day, most of which would add eggs or lean meat or the like, and after removing the cost of fuel and oil, the average net profit could earn eight cents a cake, nearly five taels of silver a day.

It's nothing compared to those who open jewelry shops and the like, but compared to those farmers who sell grain and mountain goods in Xinghua Village, this money is definitely not a small amount.

By the fourth day, there were fewer early adopters, and the amount she needed to make every day was about 400. Sometimes there are too many people, but she doesn't have enough materials, so Hao Cheng closes the shop and leaves in advance. In short, I don't make that money, and I don't waste materials. And I have a break every six days a month, and I come out on time to set up a stall at other times. If there are more people who buy cakes, the price will not increase, and some people are willing to reward her with silver, Hao Cheng also nodded in thanks, without the slightest flattery.

Hao Cheng is not bad looking, and he also pays great attention to food hygiene, the key is that the things he sells are delicious. She has such a personality, even though she only sells a fixed number of finger cakes every day, there are a lot more people who come to buy them.

When it stabilized, Hao Cheng took a day to rest, and specially made a sumptuous banquet to thank Qiao Mu, of course, in addition to the main meal, she also specially cooked some snacks and sent them over: "Sister Qiao, you have done me such a great favor, I have nothing to thank you, these are some snacks made by yourself, you taste the taste." If you like it, I'll do it for you next time. ”

Hao Cheng made fried chicken nuggets and taro sweethearts. The sliced chicken nuggets are coated in flour, fried in natural and pollution-free vegetable oil, and then taken out until the surface of the chicken nuggets is golden brown, and then evenly sprinkled with the pepper she bought at the market and the specially prepared hot sauce.

The ingredients for making taro sweethearts can also be bought in this market. She took a few medium-sized taro, washed and peeled them, steamed them, and then pounded them into purple taro paste, and took the opportunity to knead them into glutinous rice flour.

However, because of her skillful work, without abrasives, her taro sweethearts are all the same size, and she didn't think of any new shapes, using the heart shapes that often appeared in fast food restaurants in her previous life.

Hao Cheng's craftsmanship Qiao Mu also has a little understanding, looking at the two bags of snacks, Qiao Mu took the food with a smile: "It's just a gesture, why be so polite." ”

Having said that, she still couldn't wait to taste a piece of golden chicken, which was full of color and aroma, as for the taste. The skin was extremely crispy in the mouth, and the chicken was elastic but tender, so beautiful that she wanted to swallow her tongue too.

After eating two or three pieces of fried chicken in succession, Qiao Mu twisted a heart-shaped thing taro sweetheart with his hand, Hao Cheng made this small snack very exquisitely, and for a while she was still a little hesitant and couldn't bear to eat it.

But tempted by that sweet taste, I couldn't help but take a small bite on it. The entrance is the kind of glutinous and soft feeling, fragrant and sweet, with a faint milky taste, and when you bite into the center, the semi-liquid taro sandwich in it will flow into the mouth, and the mouth is full of sweet aroma, Rao is arbor boasting of being a big woman, she doesn't like sweets, and she can't help but eat a few more pieces.

Hao Cheng looked at her expression, and also put his mind at ease, and said: "It's a pity that it's too late, if you can make condensed milk, this taro sweetheart can taste better."

Qiao Mu sighed with satisfaction: "Your skills are so good, if you are a cook, I would like to abduct you to the house and cook for me every day." ”

"Sister Qiao said and laughed, it's just that I have nothing to do, just doing it by myself, and I don't want to mention being a cook."

Hao Cheng likes to cook things, but the status of a chef in this era is too far from the world she once lived in, she likes to cook, and she can make it for her family and relatives and friends. Putting aside the matter of studying, but going to be a cook, I am afraid that the people around her will only think that she has a hole in her brain.

If she is only a cook, it will be difficult for her to find a marriage. It's not that she's too demanding, it's just that for Hao Cheng, her future partner can't just take care of her life, and spiritual communication is also very important. It's not that you have to talk about the wind and snow, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, but you have to be able to talk at the ideological level.

Although it is said that women are inferior to men, the pressure on women in society is not small, and only the kind of women who are spurned will think about asking their husbands to support themselves, and generally women support their husbands and maintain the livelihood of the family.

Speaking of reality, there is irony, but after several years of experience in society, she is not like the original scholar, and there is nothing wrong with being realistic.

Qiao Mu smiled: "I'm just going to say it." "If Hao Cheng really becomes her cook, she will really not be able to match her and her younger brother. The son-in-law of the dignified city lord's family married a subordinate of the family, and it is not like a word to spread it.

Looking at Hao Cheng, who looked clear, she suddenly waved her hand and strode towards the stables in the house: "I won't talk to you more, I have something to go out, thank you Sister Cheng for your snacks." ”

She sat on her horse, looked at the bag of snacks and thought to herself, give the sweet snacks to her brother. Qiao Yu likes sweets the most, but her mouth is very picky, and when she eats, she will definitely be curious about the person who makes this snack.

Jiang Mengzhen, who had arrived in Mingzhou City a few days earlier, got the news he wanted, and the maid in green clothes said respectfully: "Master, the person you told us to look for has been found, and she lives in the third blue brick house in Tongliu Lane, the east gate of the city. ”
