Chapter 16: Fritters

For the time being, he is just selling his mille-feuille, Li Hang still has more than 20 taels of silver in his hand, although it seems like a lot, but in fact, it is really impossible to buy a house with this money.

There are many houses in this vicinity, but most of them are the property of the Su family, and the Su family has a big business, so naturally they will not easily sell these houses at will.

Li Hang glanced at these houses, and estimated that only the shed where the wharf lived was built by themselves.

I made a fritter, but the fritter wasn't enough to make a big deal.

I'm going to have to go to a stonemason and do some small stone grinding. The big brother can't afford it, so it's always okay to get a few small ones by yourself!

Holding Carpenter Tian to get this stonemason, Carpenter Tian looked curiously at a few small stone mills in this yard.

This stone mill is not very large and can be fixed on a small bench.

And this kind of stone grinding can also be turned by a small child. "Li Xiucai, what are you doing with so many stone mills?"

Carpenter Tian was very curious, he made these small stools to put these stone mills, what was this going to do? Could it be that he wants to buy wheat and grind it himself?

"It's for food!" Li Hang fished out a handful of soybeans from the water tank, and then beckoned to a little apprentice. "Come here!"

After soaking for a long time, these soybeans also absorb enough water and swell very much, which is just right for grinding soy milk.

Li Hang sat there with a smile.

"Carpenter Tian is also here to drink?" The soy milk without sugar has a unique flavor with the fritters.

It's not that Li Hang isn't a sweet party, it's that he can't afford to eat if he wants to!

In ancient times, it was quite sweet, go eat honey, as for things like sugar, it was still a luxury!

Even if he had more than 20 taels of silver in his hand, Li Hang still couldn't afford it.

"It's delicious!" Carpenter Tian's eyes lit up.

"It's delicious, but it's hard to sell!" It doesn't take much skill to make churros, but kneading the dough is a bit of a secret.

In the afternoon, after the people who had gone out to sell bread returned, Li Hang summoned these people. "Vigorously! You go and bring out the pan and the stove. ”

Li Hang glanced at these people. "This is our new food, called fried dough sticks, this one has a characteristic that it is crispy, but it needs to be fried in oil, so it requires a lot of oil!"

Obviously, the price of this oil is much more expensive than flour.

And in a sense, they have to pay for the consumption of oil.

"Li Xiucai, you mean this fritter...... I'm afraid we'll have to do it ourselves in the future? ”

Li Hang had been thinking about a problem before, that is, how to sell this thing.

It is impossible to control the production of dough, let alone the spread of these kinds of things, so the only thing I end up holding in my hands is these baking sodas.

"I can provide dough here, including the dough of the family cake, if you need it, we can provide you with dough, you don't need a fixed amount of sales every day, change the contract, you can decide how much dough to take from me, and my relationship with you has changed from a fixed amount of money to a share of the money you sell!"

These doughs don't last long, especially for mille-feuille, but the fritters can last a little longer. But it's not possible to put it down for a few days.

"The more you sell, the more you earn, not the five hundred Wen that died with me!"

Li Hang said with a smile.

The second contract was dropped.

One person sells a hundred pieces of bread, this is hunger marketing, mainly to tell them that this thing is delicious, so that those people can't buy it, and then they will chase this purchase.

This is a means and is suitable for sellers with a single commodity.

If the seller has a lot of goods, of course, it will be better to not limit the purchase.

These people go out to work for a few days, and they can almost know the approximate purchasing power of these places, and there will not be much surplus at that time.

Li Hang glanced at these people, and now it's up to them to make their own choices.

Fritters must be done, the more you sell in the breakfast market, the less you lose, because the more choices you have, the more attractive it is to foodies.

Sooner or later, the family cake will get tired of eating, so just change a few to eat, for them, maybe one will be tired of eating, but if it is several, they have the possibility to choose.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and then they basically chose a new contract.

Why didn't you take out the fritters earlier?

Don't tease! These people are all bitter people who don't have much money at home haha, if they were allowed to do this at the beginning, it is estimated that they don't have much money at all, and they want them to buy oil? Don't be funny!

In addition, if so many people launch several new things at once, customers will probably be picky, so they need to throw out the same thing as others.

Li Hang glanced at Wang Dali, who was watching from the side at this time, he had been learning literacy and mathematics with those students in the past few days.

Although he is much older than others, he is not even as good as some intelligent students when it comes to learning certain things.

"Master! Look at my ......."

"Practice calligraphy!" Li Hang glanced at him. "This Donglin Port does not need to go far for business for you, and the extra time will of course be used to learn to read and write!"

"Huh!"

Li Hang glared at Wang Dali, and then picked up the book on the side and began to read.

These Confucian classics can still be seen as stories.

While this large group of people began to prepare to do this alone, Li Hang let the apprentices of these apprentices start their learning journey of fritters.

Sitting in the courtyard reading a book, the street outside began to be lively. "Vigorously! Go outside and see what's going on? ”

Li Hang is also quite curious, what is going on outside?

"Sir! That Mr. Yuan Jishi came to our Donglin Port, and he also brought more than a dozen people, they are going to Jinling! ”

"So fast?" Li Hang was slightly startled.

After putting down the book and walking out, Li Hang saw the gentleman named Yuan Jishi.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a character like a master.

"Wang Dali! Go to the cupboard in the kitchen and bring me the innermost bottle of wine!" ”

This is the last time Yu Shida came to drink and didn't finish it.

Li Hang existed directly there.

"Master?" Wang Dali looked at Li Hang curiously.

Yu Shida was leaving, Li Hang walked over with a pot of wine, this is not like the next generation, from south to north is more than ten hours, this trip is estimated to take dozens of days!

On the side, Zhu Zhengheng was looking at Yuan Jishi with some reluctance. "Teacher! I don't know when we'll see each other again this time. ”

"The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water! Zhengheng don't be a daughter. Yuan Jishi looked at his apprentice with a smile. I will teach well in the future, and if there are excellent students, I guess I will come back! Although Yuan Jishi said this, he knew very well in his heart that at the age of the two of them, saying goodbye was goodbye forever.

"Brother Star! I'm here to see you off today! Li Hang carried the wine and walked over with a smile, without the slightest sadness of parting, as if he was sending Yu Shida to ascend.

Immediately, the atmosphere of deep master-apprentice affection between the two masters and apprentices just now was completely destroyed.
