Chapter 47: Selling Chestnut Cakes
Ye Zhenzhen saw that the Bai family was not very happy, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, I know, it's just that mother, no matter what the Ye family says, you can't go back, isn't it possible that you want your sister to suffer once?" β
Bai Shi sighed and didn't say anything, but said with some concern: "You came back with so many things today, I'm afraid that you will provoke the eyes of the people in the village, you don't want to do this in the future, it will save a lot of trouble." β
Ye Zhenzhen said secretly, in her previous life, she didn't arouse the envy and jealousy of the people around her, she didn't care, after all, those people could only watch, and for this group of ancient people, they didn't care at all, so it was difficult to do anything.
Seeing her indifferent appearance, Bai patted her hand: "Mother knows, this is also wronged by you, but we are all farming, and we can't get rich, I am saying that the Tian family and the Ye family are staring at us." β
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, what Bai said was right, she didn't have that much ability now.
"By the way, you teach your sister-in-law how to make chestnut cakes, where to sell something." Although the Bai family felt that the family should help each other, this was a split family after all, and Ye Zhenzhen gave the secret recipe to the Tian family in this way, feeling a little guilty.
Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand, she had already inquired about the price, this ancient pastry was also divided into commoners and nobles, and naturally the pastries of the nobles were even more exquisite and precious, and those people's homes were all cooks who could make all kinds of pastries, even if there was no such thing, but in terms of appearance, it could only be sold to some civilians, and the price could not go up, plus, these chestnuts were all wild, not much.
If you sell it on the street, no one will buy it if the price is high, and you won't make any money if the price is low.
So it's better to give it directly to Tian, she can take it out and sell it, she can make some money, and she can find other ways to make money.
As long as the taste is good, Tian's price is slightly higher, and it can definitely be sold.
Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, the first time Tian went to the town to sell, it may not be able to sell well, it is better to be with her tomorrow, in case there is something she can't handle.
Early the next morning, Ye Zhenzhen got up, saw Tian preparing to go to the street, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be with you." β
Tian opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and nodded.
Ye Zhenzhen knew that she was afraid that she had some resentment in her heart, so she didn't talk to her, and when she arrived in the town, she paid to rent a small position.
Many people in the town knew Ye Zhenzhen, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly came up.
"What's going on?" Tian looked at the battle, a little apprehensive.
"It's fine." Ye Zhenzhen said to Tian with a smile, and said to the people who came around: "Today, my sister-in-law came to sell things, so I stopped by to take a look." β
Although Tian thought it was delicious, after all, it was the first time he came out to do business by himself, and he didn't have much confidence.
"I don't know what you're selling, how does it taste?"
The people around him chimed in.
Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile: "This is chestnut cake, I guarantee you haven't eaten it." β
Everyone smelled the smell and thought it was very good, this thing was sweet and fragrant, which made people appetize.
"How did this thing sell?" Someone asked.
Tian didn't expect so many people to set the price.
"Thirty pounds." Ye Zhenzhen said.
"What? It is the most famous pastry shop in the town, and the most expensive one is only 20 yuan a catty. Someone immediately said that it smelled good, but the price was outrageous.
Tian's face was also surprised, she looked at Ye Zhenzhen, and also felt that the price was too high.
Ye Zhenzhen's face did not change, and said with a smile: "You have seen us before, and there are reasons why we are expensive." β
"Just listen to what you say here, and don't let us see what it is."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect so many people to come at first, so she smiled and lifted the cloth on it and showed them that it was just an ordinary pie, but the aroma was clean and attractive.
As soon as many people heard it, thirty yuan left, although the people in this town have a little silver, but thirty yuan to buy a snack, they are still reluctant, but there are still some people around, and they don't know whether they want to see the strange or really want to buy.
Lin Ziqian walked out of the crowd and looked at her proudly: "Give me a pound first, I want to see what kind of thing you sell." β
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at her, how could this dead child appear again.
Lin Ziqian took the lotus leaf, picked up one and took a bite, and took a second bite in surprise, with something stuffed in his mouth, pointed to their pastry shop and said, "Wrap them all up for me." β
"What? There's more than 20 pounds hereΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Tian couldn't believe it.
Lin Ziqian thought that they would not sell: "I will pay double the price, you can sell the rest to me." β
Tian was so shocked that he couldn't speak, this catty of forty wen was already very expensive, but he didn't expect that there would be people willing to pay double the price to buy it.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the people around her, these people may not be able to sell them all, so she smiled and said, "No, naturally it is possible." β
Lin Ziqian directly handed her two taels of silver: "I'll take this basket away." β
Tian looked at the silver in his hand, his eyes were straight, you must know that this is in the countryside, you have to save a little, two taels of silver are enough for more than half a year, this is only a moment of hard work, and he earned two taels of silver, which makes Tian not surprised.
Ye Zhenzhen touched her chin, although this chestnut cake has been sold, but there are no chestnuts available, it is better to sell the recipe directly, whether it is a teahouse or a restaurant, they all want to make a different taste, at least this chestnut cake can last for a while.
She looked at Tian and sighed, let's wait until she sells all the chestnut cakes.
Tian happily followed Ye Zhenzhen back.
As soon as she arrived at home, she saw a woman sitting in the courtyard chatting with the Bai family, and Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment.
"Yo, this is the girl, it's really a big gap from when I was a child."
Ye Zhenzhen tugged at the corners of her mouth, but the gap was not big.
This woman is Ye Dalang's own sister, when she was not married before, she always helped their mother and daughter, and she was very unaccustomed to Ye Zhang's approach, and was later sold to the next village by Ye Zhang's family, and she never came back.
Ye Lanxiang looked at her distressedly: "It's not easy for you, I just learned about it, so I hurried to take a look." β
Bai Shi said with a smile: "This is your aunt, and she specially brought a basket of eggs." β
Ye Zhenzhen shouted with a smile: "Auntie is here, what are you doing so politely." β
Looking at Ye Lanxiang's round figure, as soon as she made a shot, she was a basket of eggs, and she thought that she would have a good life in the future, at least she didn't suffer any grievances.
This old Ye family is also a person who knows things.
She looked at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Your mother is too, why didn't you know to come to me when there was such a big thing, so she hurriedly married herself." β
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head: "Auntie, you don't know, Su Mu is good to me." β
Ye Lanxiang was a little surprised, seeing that the Bai family also smiled and nodded, she was a little relieved, she was sold to a family by Ye Zhang's family back then, but fortunately, although the man was an orphan, he was very considerate to her, and he didn't even let her do the family affairs.
"Have pity on you kid, marry a fool." Ye Lanxiang was straightforward, but she didn't shy away from anything.
Bai Shi restrained his smile and hurriedly patted her: "What are you talking about, as long as you are good to Zhen Zhen." β
Ye Lanxiang also reacted, glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, and said with a smile: "What my sister-in-law said is true." β
"Speaking of which, this room doesn't look good, and it still needs to be repaired." When Ye Lanxiang came, she noticed that of the three tiled houses, only they lived in the most dilapidated and small.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at her own room and nodded, she really should make it bigger.
Ye Lanxiang said a few words and then got up and said, "I'll come to see you today, I'll leave first." β
Bai hurriedly wanted to keep her to eat together.
Ye Lanxiang smiled shyly and said, "If I don't go back, I'm afraid that the one in my family will come to look for me." β
Looking at her happy appearance, Bai's heart was also happy for her.
Ye Zhenzhen thought of something, and hurriedly went into the house to get a piece of pork, and some chestnut cakes, Ye Lanxiang didn't want it, but seeing that they insisted, she accepted it, covered the basket with a cloth again, and just left a few steps away, and saw the Ye family's family head-on.
She frowned and wanted to avoid it, but was blocked by Ye Zhang's family.
"Okay, you, when you were born, you should have been thrown into the river and drowned, but now that your parents are still there, you will rush to subsidize things to others." It's not that Ye Zhang's family hasn't been to Ye Xianglan's place to make trouble, but it's a pity that her man is not easy to mess with, and this time she was finally caught alone.
Ye Xianglan knew that it would not be so easy to pass when she met them, but she didn't expect her to say so ugly, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Who I give my things to, what does it have to do with you, I said it when I got married, and I will treat me as a relative without a father and mother in the future." β
These words made Ye Zhang's family look like a lit firecracker, and pointed at Ye Xianglan and cursed: "You crawled out of my mother's belly, do you think that if you say a few words, you will not be my daughter?" Show me what's in your basket. β
Ye Xianglan was trembling with anger, this is her so-called mother-in-law, who sold her at the beginning, and came to the door three or four times to ask for silver, and now she still says this kind of thing.
Ye Zhang's unrelenting, with a fierce look on his face, Bai and Ye Zhenzhen also heard the movement and hurriedly came out to see.
Ye Dalang said sneeringly: "Sister, no matter what, the Ye family is also from your mother's family, how to beat the autumn wind and hit outsiders, and I am not afraid of others gossiping about our family." β
