Chapter 236: Selling Guanzi
The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...
After lunch, Hui Niang and Orchid put themselves into the nervous making of moon cakes, Fan Ming and Fan Lei also sent the moon cakes that Hui Niang made in the morning, this time it was not as much as last night, only about 260 pieces.
Everything is spent in the midst of a hectic rush.
The Liu family is also very busy, Liu Dacheng sighed while busy with the work in hand.
Over there, Pi Shi saw it and chattered, "I said Ping'an and his father, what are you sighing all day long, I feel a little uncomfortable listening to it, Ping'an, Liu Niang, you two should also talk about your father, look at him like that, let's make moon cakes, and have silver to take, what a good thing?"
He still has a sad face, peace and his father, I told you that I will earn money when the time comes, but I will not have your share. ”
Liu Dacheng raised his eyes and glanced at Pi Shi, shook his head, and continued to be busy with the business in his hands.
Liu Ping'an and Liu Niang didn't answer, lowered their heads and laughed.
In the next few days, Hui Niang's family was busy making moon cakes, because the shopkeeper needed a lot of moon cakes, Yinhua and Aunt Chun even ate lunch at Hui Niang's house, and even had no time to rest, so they ate and continued to make moon cakes.
Luo Jiu and his sister Luo Shuang were also called to help, and the salary given by Hui Niang was not low, Luo Shuang was also willing to do it, and Niu Wa also wanted to come, but Luo Jiu drove back to take care of their mother.
Fortunately, Fan Lei also has a kitchen, and a large group of people work together in a harmonious manner.
There are a lot of people, making moon cakes, it saves a lot of trouble, and the speed is fast, Luo Jiu's speed of baking moon cakes can't keep up, Hui Niang can't do it, and she called Aunt Chun's man again.
The mooncakes in the town are also selling well. Fan Lin sent the 100 baskets to Fan Ming's family on August 12, and early on the morning of the 13th, Hui Niang asked Luo Jiu to bring 50 or 60 baskets, and also brought more than 300 moon cakes.
Tell Luo Jiu and Orchid to put five moon cakes in each basket, and if anyone wants to buy a piece with a price of half a tael of silver, they will sell so much every day.
This arrangement was discussed by Hui Niang and Fan Ming, and then Fan Shaoxuan was also called by Fan Ming, and Hui Niang also specially told him the story of Chang'e running to the moon, and asked him to go to the town to talk about it, so as to help the moon cake publicity. In addition, he also instructed a lot of words, Fan Shaoxuan is also a clever person, and Hui Niang said it again. And he remembered.
Hui Niang was also envious of Fan Shaoxuan's memory.
Hui Niang knew that the moon cakes in the town were selling very well, and she was relieved, although the price was ridiculously expensive, but no one would be too expensive for good things, and most of the people who bought them were wealthy families. Some of them specially told Luo Jiu that they had set the mooncakes they would sell the next day one day in advance, so that they could give them away.
At the end of the day, there are also dozens of taels of silver, and when the orchid counts the money, he secretly smacks his tongue. I never let go of the money bag, for fear that as soon as I let go, the money bag would be stolen. It was the first time she had seen so much silver, and she was nervous, but this action made Luo Jiu cry and laugh.
After talking to Orchid several times, Orchid calmed down and gave the money to Hui Niang. Orchid's heart finally calmed down.
Mooncakes that were sold for a few days, and Orchid took the silver. Not as excited as before.
And on the Liu family's side, a large family is also busy making moon cakes, making these moon cakes day and night, fortunately, no one complains, and the big family still feels very happy, and they all hope to make more moon cakes.
Although the speed of the Liu family is not as fast as Hui Niang's, but at the end of the day, it can also make more than 600 moon cakes, and the price Zhang shopkeeper gave to the Liu family is four yuan lower than Hui Niang's, that is, eighty-four yuan a penny.
Although Pi Shi was still a little worried, after all, the silver had not yet arrived, and his family had already put on several taels of silver.
When it was time to settle the bill, Liu Ping'an took the silver back, and Pi touched and touched, holding it tightly in his arms, reluctant to let go.
Hui Niang's moon cakes to Bao Yuezhai are not less, and she can send seven or eight hundred moon cakes a day, except for the ones sold every day in the town, which is also good.
In addition, the Liu family also sent it, but the shopkeeper Zhang didn't urge Hui Niang, and vaguely guessed that Hui Niang might still be selling moon cakes in their town, and he didn't say anything, anyway, it was still the same sentence, as long as they didn't sell it in the city.
Bao Yue Zhai's moon cakes sold very well, coupled with the special publicity of the shopkeeper, Bao Yue Zhai became famous all of a sudden, and many of the regular customers of Zhen Bao Zhai changed to Bao Yue Zhai.
Shopkeeper Zhang was happy like something, looking several years younger.
On the fifteenth day of August, Hui Niang didn't let Fan Ming go to the city early, let him go after lunch, after all, it's August 15th, just send it once, even if it is money, the shopkeeper Zhang has also said hello.
When it was almost noon, Luo Jiu and Orchid came back from the town, Orchid got out of the car and carried the things that Hui Niang asked her to buy in the town into the kitchen, and without resting, she said to Hui Niang: "Hui Niang, I bought all the things you asked me to buy, you see if there is anything missing, it cost a total of two hundred and twenty yuan, and this is the money for selling moon cakes today." ”
Orchid said and put down the things in her hand, took down the small bag she was carrying, and handed it to Hui Niang.
Hui Niang looked at Orchid's anxious roar, a little funny, washed her hands, took the bag in Orchid's hand, and said to Orchid: "Sister Orchid, it's really hard for you, you can rest for a while." ”
Orchid waved her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, "It's not hard, what's the hard work?" I've been very satisfied these days. ”
It's been a busy day, but my heart is a lot more steady.
Hui Niang was not reluctant to hear this, went into the house and put the money away, and then came out again.
Aunt Yinhua laughed when she heard this, and quipped: "I think you took the silver, so you are satisfied." Aunt Yinhua said with envy.
Orchid was not annoyed, and answered: "No, you don't want to think about it, if you take so much silver all day long, are you happy?" ”
Saying that she had already gone to scoop water to drink, Hui Niang heard what they meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be envious, everyone should stay for dinner at noon, I asked Sister Orchid to buy a lot of vegetables and came back." ”
Aunt Yinhua said: "That's a good dare, since I have eaten here a few times at Hui Niang, I always feel that the food I made is not the right taste when I go back." ”
"Aunt Yinhua, don't make fun of me, how can it be as good as you say, let's not talk about anything else, hurry up and make moon cakes, it's good to cook later, and after dinner, Ah Ming will send moon cakes into the city." Hui Niang diverted the topic.
A few people naturally agreed, and it didn't take long for Hui Niang to start cooking Chinese food.
This lunch, Hui Niang did it very carefully, after all, the things that Orchid bought were placed there, and Orchid also helped, and she was busy for about an hour.
There are steamed fish, braised pork, stir-fried pork liver, pork belly, as well as eggs, a few side dishes, and the whole kitchen is filled with the fragrance of vegetables.
Fan Ming next door smelled it.
Yinhua looked at it for a long time, watching Hui Niang fry them one by one, busy and persuading the old man for a long time.
"Hui Niang, if you want me to say, there are just a few of us, and there are so many dishes eaten there, don't do it, lest you can't finish it and waste it?"
Aunt Chun and Orchid looked at Hui Niang, and Orchid said: "Hui Niang, Aunt Yinhua is right, you should not fry that green vegetable, save it for the evening." ”
Hui Niang smiled: "It's okay, I'll fry this green vegetable, all of you have been busy with me for several days, how can I say that I have to invite you to a delicious meal, right?" ”
Hui Niang also knows that the orchids have been busy for the past few days, so they have to cook a delicious meal, so treat everyone well.
Seeing that they were stunned, they urged: "Oh, Aunt Yinhua, don't stand still, you and Aunt Chun bring the two dishes I just fried into the house?" ”
Yinhua reacted, opened her mouth, didn't say anything, and reached out to serve the dish that Huiniang had just fried.
Not long after, the last green vegetable came out of the pot, Aunt Chun hurriedly scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, and Aunt Fang Yinhua went next door to call Fan Ming and Fan Lei to come over for dinner.
Fan Lei is always the most active, and when he saw a table of dishes on the table, he said to Hui Niang: "Third sister-in-law, you cook so many dishes today." ”
Before Hui Niang could answer, Orchid answered for her, "Yes, we also think Hui Niang has done too much, but Hui Niang doesn't listen, look, even your fourth brother has said it." ”
Fan Ming said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Orchid, my daughter-in-law doesn't cook many of these dishes, you have all worked hard these days, come, don't talk about it, let's eat." ”
Fan Ming beckoned to sit down and eat, Hui Niang's family, plus Fan Lei, Aunt Chun and her man, as well as Orchid and Yinhua Aunt Luo Jiu Luoshuang and others, there are more than ten people in total.
sat down at a table, so Fan Ming had to borrow two chairs from Old Man Fan and make do with them.
Hui Niang said while eating: "I'm really embarrassed, Aunt Chun, you don't have a place to do it." ”
I wanted to celebrate, but I didn't notice it.
"What kind of apologies do you say, a few of us will be fine, Hui Niang, don't take it to heart."
"yes, yes."
Hui Niang and Fan Ming glanced at each other, lowered their heads and went to eat, Miao Miao ate honestly and did not speak.
After eating, everyone rested for a while, then helped Hui Niang count the moon cakes, then loaded them into the ox cart, and watched Fan Ming and Fan Lei drive the carriage away.
Hui Niang didn't let them leave in a hurry, let them stay and made dozens of mooncakes.
The orchids were a little curious, didn't they all say that Ah Ming sent it for the last time? What else do you make mooncakes? Could it be that it was given to them? But don't you look like it?
Orchid couldn't figure it out, Luo Jiu saw it and said: "Aunt Orchid, my aunt naturally has her reason for saying this, so don't guess." ”
