Chapter Ninety-One: Preparing for Business
"Auntie, do you have Ai Ye at home?" Huang Yiyun asked after carrying a small basket containing some Ai Qingtuan and handing it to Aunt Liu.
"Yes? Who uses it in your family, what's going on. Aunt Liu took the basket handed over by Huang Yiyun, didn't look at it, and went directly to the warehouse to get a handful of wormwood and asked.
Most of the wormwood is used in summer to repel mosquitoes, and now it is not used to repel mosquitoes in summer, so I am afraid that it will be used in other places.
"It's not that my fifth sister has a small pimple on her body, it's a little itchy, I want to get some and cook it, wash her."
"Well, this should be able to relieve itching, if there is a fresh one to mash directly, take the juice and rub it on the pimple and itchy area, the effect is better?" Aunt Liu asked with some pity.
"Auntie, try the Qingtuan made by Yiyun, see if it's delicious." After Huang Yiyun took the mugwort leaves handed over by Aunt Liu, he pointed to the small basket of Ai Qingtuan that he had brought to the Liu family.
"What is this, like a dumpling, it's a little big, and the cake is too small, what is it made of? The taste is a little special, with a special fragrance, the noodles are kneaded very well, and they taste particularly chewy, so they are delicious? After Aunt Liu lifted the cloth and looked at the Ai Qingtuan in the basket, a special fragrance came to her nose, and after taking a breath, her mouth was full of fragrant and chewy, and Aunt Liu liked this taste at once.
I ate five times in a row before I stopped.
"Aunt Liu hasn't eaten this Qingtuan." Huang Yiyun's heart moved, and he asked without knowing what he had thought.
"No? This is the first time my aunt has eaten it, it's delicious, Yiyun, what are you doing, teach your aunt. ”
"This is my family's unique recipe, if my aunt likes to eat it, I will send more tomorrow, and the aunt of the province will do it? Auntie, these Qingtuan taste better when they are dipped in some sugar? ”
.........。
After Huang Yiyun returned home, he threw the mugwort leaves into the pot and boiled them, and instructed the fifth sister to take a bath after the water boiled, and then Huang Yiyun came directly to Huang Congjiang and Huang Liu's room.
Since the Huang family found Huang Congjiang and Huang Pingcheng back.
The Huang family has four rooms, two rooms on the left and right in the hall, one for Huang Pingcheng and Huang Li to sleep in.
One room for Huang Congjiang and Huang Liu to sleep with their four brothers.
Outside the house, there is one room on the left and right, and Huang Conghe and Huang Jiang sleep with their seventh brother.
The last room is slept by Huang Yiyun, the second sister, the third sister, the fifth sister, and the sixth sister.
"Eldest sister, it's so late, do you have something to do with your father?" Huang Liu, who opened the door, saw that it was the eldest sister, and asked after welcoming the eldest sister in.
"Well, the eldest sister has something to say, Dad, how did you say that the eldest sister did the Ai Youth League today."
"Well, it's delicious, chewy, and has a different fragrance?" Huang Congjiang nodded and replied.
"Just now I went to Aunt Liu's house to send a little Ai Qingtuan, Aunt Liu said that she had eaten it before, and she thought it was delicious, Dad, you said that if we take the ready-made Ai Qingtuan to the town to set up a stall and sell it, will anyone buy it?"
"How much does it cost today?" After Huang Congjiang heard the words of the eldest sister, he sat up straight, and said with a glint in his eyes.
"Five catties of wormwood are five catties of flour, and today it is white flour and cornmeal kneaded together, and the cost of flour is about fifty-five copper plates. There are about 200 Ai Qingtuan. Huang Yiyun did the math and said.
"If you want to sell Ai Qingtuan, eldest sister, how much do you want to price?"
"Dad, how much do you think is appropriate?" Huang Yiyun kicked the ball back and asked.
"Five copper plates, ten." Huang Congjiang thought about it and said.
"There are three eggs in two copper plates, if this Ai Qingtuan sells it so expensive, I'm afraid that there are fewer people who buy it, five for two copper plates, and eleven for four copper plates." Huang Yiyun pondered for a while and said.
"It's not a lot of money, unless there are more people who buy it, you can make more money." Huang Congjiang frowned every day.
"Dad, today is for us to eat, so we put white flour and cornmeal in, if our family is doing business, put one pound of white noodles, two pounds of sweet potato noodles, and the rest of the black noodles.
Anyway, the wormwood is kneaded together, it is all a green ball, let's knead the noodles more vigorously, and the taste is similar to what we eat today, we have reduced the cost, and the benefits are naturally more.
In this way, as long as we come forward, the cost of white noodles is 15 copper plates, sweet potato noodles are 6 copper plates a catty, and black noodles are 4 copper plates a catty, adding up, as long as 35 copper plates, you can sell 70 to 80 copper plates, you can make half of the profit, this business can be done. Huang Yiyun's heart turned sharply.
"Well, okay, let's go to the town tomorrow to give it a try, let's get up early and pick more wormwood to come back, but if you go to the town to sell the Ai Qingtuan, you have to get a canoe, load an iron stove, firewood, pot and steamer, we can knead the Ai Qingtuan at home, and then go directly to the town to steam and sell it on the spot." After Huang Congjiang felt that this business was feasible, he quickly thought about what to bring to the town.
"Dad, if our family sells Ai Qingtuan, this name will be changed first, as soon as you hear Ai Qingtuan, others will think if it is made of wormwood and flour.
If other people who do small business see that our family is selling hot, they will learn from it, and if they learn it, they will not make wedding dresses for others and rob our business.
When we knead the flour, we knead all the cooked wormwood into the flour, we don't say it, other people's families will definitely not be able to see it, this mugwort group put wormwood in it, as for the cooked mugwort group put flour in it and steamed it, the taste of raw wormwood and the taste of mugwort are a little different, and others will not think of going here. Even if we think about it, we can sell it first.
Therefore, our family can't be called Ai Qingtuan in the future, and it will be called Qingtuan in the future. Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.
"Yes, or is the eldest sister thoughtful? Tomorrow, let's all get up early, pick more wormwood, make a ball, and sell it in the town, big sister, you said for the first time, let's make as much as we can and sell it in the town. Huang Congjiang gave Huang Yiyun a thumbs up, and then he asked after thinking of this.
"There are more than there are today, so let's make four hundred!" Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.
"Success, it's four hundred."
"I've done so much, a lot, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for our mother to knead the powder? I'm going to go to my younger sister here, and I'll tell her to get up early tomorrow to help, eldest sister, when you go back to the room, I'll also tell the second sister and the third sister to get up early tomorrow and pick wormwood. After Huang Liu's heard that he was going to make four hundred Ai Qingtuan, he thought that he would go down to do two hundred Ai Qingtuan today, and he had to work hard to knead the dough, so much, I was afraid that he and his eldest sister were a little difficult to do, Huang Liu hurriedly got up and informed Huang Jiang.
