Chapter 20: Yam Cake
The egg seller told him all about the previous things, and said to Cai Yuanqi: "Little girl, remember to come to me next time you come, I will definitely not let you be bullied by the Qin family again." You call Uncle Jiang Yi, that is, my niece. ”
Jiang Yi smiled honestly, "Yes, Liu Fu, this kid is familiar with thieves in this area, so you will look for him." ”
Cai Yuanqi said happily: "Uncle Liu Fu, then do you know that there will be a merchant coming?" ”
Liu Fu, who shouted at this uncle, was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, "This is the one who often comes here, but his character is not good, if you want anything, let Jiang Yi bring it to you directly, he has to go to the county seat every day to deliver goods." ”
"Delivery?"
Cai Yuanqi thought that Jiang Yi had indeed set up an ox cart in the county seat before, and there seemed to be something on it.
"Well, I'll send some mountain goods to the county."
Jiang Yi didn't want to say more, and waved his hand, "What do you want, I'll bring it to you when I'm going to the county seat tomorrow, and then you can go to this village to find Liu Fu and ask him to take you to me." ”
"Don't you live here?"
The place where she came was Nantian Village, which was still some distance away from Nanshan Village where she lived, and this side was not the territory of Landlord Cai, it was at the junction, so there would be a small market exchange point.
"The only way to collect mountain goods is to live close to the side of the mountain."
Jiang Yi explained, although he is not a hunter, but he has nothing to sell in the county, and his income is not bad.
"Then thank you, uncle, can you help me bring two red ropes back tomorrow?"
Cai Yuanqi said where he bought the red rope before, how much money, and then pretended to take out the yam cake he made from the space from his sleeve pocket.
"Two uncles, this is the yam cake I made, for you to taste."
Jiang Yi won't talk about it, this Liu Fu looks like a shrewd businessman, and maybe he can introduce some sources of goods to her.
"No need."
Jiang Yi waved his hand again and again, "It's a trivial matter to bring a red string, where do you need such a good pastry." ”
"This is a yam cake?"
Liu Fu broke a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and couldn't help but snort, "Little girl, you made it yourself?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Liu Fu, if you like it, I still have it at home."
Cai Yuanqi looked at Liu Fu with a smile, "This is our family's ancestral secret recipe, and I am very full after eating." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Fu got serious, broke another piece and tasted it carefully, "You have bud rice noodles mixed here, what is the other one?" ”
"Ma Yam."
Cai Yuanqi saw that he asked so carefully, so he simply said directly, "The rhizome of Ma Yam is this yam." ”
"Can you eat hemp yam?"
Liu Fu and Jiang Yi were shocked, they all knew about hemp yam, but they were all used to feed chickens, and no one would eat it at all, because it would itch very much when it touched their hands.
"Of course."
Cai Yuanqi pursed his lips and chuckled, "Of course, some foods can be eaten when they are ready, just like this yam cake I made, which has a fragrant taste and can be used to satisfy hunger on the road." ”
"Okay, little girl, I'll buy three." Jiang Yi said directly.
"Really?"
Cai Yuanqi thought about the price he had thought of before, "These yam cakes cost five yuan a piece, and three yuan is fifteen yuan." ”
Jiang Yi didn't blink, counted fifteen yuan, and handed it to Cai Yuanqi.
Liu Fu gasped, although the taste of the yam cake was amazing, but this six-dollar piece of three-medicine cake is not cheap, where did this little girl get the confidence to be able to sell it, and Jiang Yi, a stupid boy, is willing to buy it!
"Uncle, you wait for me to go back and get it for you."
Cai Yuanqi just wanted to divide the yam cake in his hand in half, but he didn't expect a boy next to him to come over, "What kind of dim sum is this, it's so fragrant." ”
"How do you sell this snack?"
The woman who followed the child seemed to be his mother carrying a basket and asked Cai Yuanqi.
"This is a yam cake, I'll give you a taste first."
Seeing that the business was coming, Cai Yuanqi's eyes lit up, and he broke a little yam cake and handed it to the boy, "This is my family's ancestral secret recipe, which is very sweet." ”
"Auntie, you can taste it too."
Cai Yuanji generously handed a small piece to the aunt carrying the basket.
The aunt tasted it and was very satisfied, and when she saw that her child had eaten it, she still looked at the yam cake in Cai Yuanqi's hand, "How do you sell it?" ”
"Originally, it was six cents a piece, but I just came here today to try selling, and my aunt is the tenth person to buy pastries, even if you are five cents."
The little mouth is touting the aunt.
"You're a penny less than brown sugar cake."
The aunt was a little hesitant, grabbing the basket and seemed to be thinking about buying brown sugar cake or this yam cake.
"Auntie, my yam cake is much better than that brown sugar cake!"
Cai Yuanqi took out a piece of yam cake from his sleeve pocket and pointed at Jiang Yi, "Auntie, this uncle is also going to buy it, this is the one today, you two see who wants it?" ”
After speaking, she winked at Jiang Yi.
"Of course it's for us, but we're here first."
But Liu Fu cooperated with a hippie smile, "Wait for the next time you come to sell and let her buy it, give it to me today." ”
"Mother, I want it, I want to eat."
The little boy was pulling his aunt's clothes and crying, staring directly at Cai Yuanqi's yam cake.
"Give you money!"
The aunt counted five cents and stuffed it into Cai Yuanqi's hand, opened the handkerchief, took the yam cake and put it in the basket, pulled her son and left quickly.
Now it's earned!
Cai Yuanqi looked at the five yuan in his hand with bright eyes, plus Jiang Yi's fifteen yuan, and he earned more than 20 yuan in one fell swoop.
"Little girl, I'm not in a hurry to ask for that pastry, you can bring me the pastry tomorrow when you come to get the red rope."
Jiang Yi looked at Cai Yuan's deflated sleeve pocket and waved his hand, "I'll give you money then." ”
"Okay, then thank you uncle."
Cai Yuanqi thought that he would have to do a little more tonight, and try his luck at this small market tomorrow.
"Are you going to start a yam cake business?"
Liu Fu originally didn't hope for the little girl's price, but when he saw that the aunt said that he would buy it, his brain turned very fast, and he hurriedly said: "If you do this business, you have to have a fixed sale!" ”
When Cai Yuanqi heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Liu Fu squinting his eyes as if he was thinking something, and was shocked, could it be that Liu Fu wanted to sell pastries with her?
"Yes, my father went out to find work, and the two brothers in the family are fine, so I can only sell a little between the villages."
Cai Yuanqi said euphemistically.
"In this case, I will give you half a tael of silver, how about you make me a batch?"
Liu Fu thought that this small market was only open once every three or four days, so it was better to go to the county seat to sell some pastries and the like, which was much better than collecting eggs.
Xiao Huang took the opportunity to speak: "Yo, master, you are starting to develop offline." ”
Cai Yuanqi was very proud: "That's not it, it shows that this girl has business acumen!" ”
