Chapter 19 The Longevity Cake Freshly Out of the Pot
In fact, fish cakes can be made more delicious, but now the materials at hand are scarce after all, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. So if this trip goes well today, they can buy some other ingredients after they earn money, and it will be much better in the future.
Everyone found an open space in the market, and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law assisted Liu Dong to put down the back basket, and finally took out the contents of the back basket.
Large and small have been placed in the basin, neatly arranged, it looks very pleasing to the eye, and it smells delicious.
"Come on, come on, don't miss the big aunts, uncles, big brothers and sisters who have passed by, try the longevity cakes that have just come out of the pot in our house, which are nutritious and delicious, delicious and not greasy...... Five dollars for one penny, eleven dollars for two dollars...... It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, everyone will come and take a look......"
Ah Niu's daughter-in-law shouted skillfully, and her unchanging behavior made Fang Xiaoxiao a little surprised. She looked at Liu Dong, who looked cramped, like a newly married daughter-in-law, ashamed to see her in-laws.
Now the people in the market are coming and going at the peak of the season, and after Ah Niu's daughter-in-law shouted like this, passers-by soon surrounded them. Especially for what they call longevity cakes, I am extremely curious.
With the heart of wanting to explore, coupled with the crisp voice of Ah Niu's daughter-in-law, and a smile on her face, it looks very pleasing to the eye.
What exactly are the longevity cakes they call them?
Why have you never heard of such a thing?
The name longevity cake was coined by Fang Xiaoxiao. Before, everyone didn't plan to name it, just call it fish cake, but after thinking about it, I still think it's inappropriate. For one, fish is still inedible in the eyes of the villagers. Second, if the ingredients are revealed so quickly, there will be no novelty in the future.
Ordinary people have a curiosity, and they can't arouse the interest of others in simple things, of course, the more mysterious they are, the better.
In a few words, I heard Ah Niu's daughter-in-law blowing the longevity cake like a peach in the sky. Seeing her look like this, Fang Xiaoxiao seemed to understand why she married an idiot, but there were still many people who were willing to befriend her.
In fact, Ah Niu's daughter-in-law is also very handsome. Even if you are angry and angry, your eyes are wide open, but you can be reconciled by the soft facial features, not only will it not make people feel hateful, but it will have a sense of charm and make people feel very true temperament.
"Uncle, the longevity cake is really soft, even if your teeth are bad, it doesn't matter, why don't you taste it?" Ah Niu's daughter-in-law smiled and picked up a piece, "You can buy five yuan for a penny!" ”
The uncle just stretched out his hand to take it, but was slapped back by his wife. I saw that the eldest lady rolled her eyes, pouted her lips in disgust and said, "Stretch out your hand to me!" It's like we're going to take advantage of it, and you see how big this thing is. It's not as good as a fingernail cover for my wife! ”
"This lady, it's not right for you to say that. This longevity cake pays attention to nutrition, and there are so many of them in this piece, how can it not be as big as your fingernails? Why don't you stick your nails out and make the big guys compare with each other? At the critical moment, it was Liu Dong who spoke. Seeing him replying without changing his face, Fang Xiaoxiao was a little relieved.
"Auntie, in fact, you have such doubts, I can understand it. After all, we didn't have this thing on the market before. To tell the truth, we are also the first time to sell longevity cakes, the ancestors used to serve the palace mother, this recipe is the ancestral exclusive secret recipe. If it weren't for the accident in our family a few days ago, we would definitely not have sold the ancestral secret recipe. ”
Liu Dong's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at him appreciatively. I have to say that this kid is indeed a teachable talent. In addition to the discomfort at the beginning, being able to find your own position in such a short period of time will definitely develop in the future.
Fang Xiaoxiao took out the fish cakes that had been prepared, these fish cakes had been neatly cut into several parts, each with a small bamboo skewer on it, and handed it to several men and women in the front row. When she was at home, she had already thought that it would not go so well, so she had already prepared the tasting in advance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first time we are selling bread. If you don't know, you will inevitably have all kinds of doubts in your mind. You can taste it first, if you think you can buy it again, if you think the taste is not good, you can go directly, and you don't have to stand here, so that everyone will not be affected, and we can do business. ”
may be innate, Fang Xiaoxiao is obviously not as sophisticated and sleek as Ah Niu's daughter-in-law. She was born with an aura that ordinary people can't match, and that kind of faint temperament can't be ignored no matter what. She had been silent before and no one had noticed, but at this moment, everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and in the face of the pair of pupils as deep and sharp as black pearls, everyone was unconsciously afraid.
Pulled by these eyes, everyone unconsciously picked up the cake and ate it.
"Huh...... What is this made of? It tastes really good! ”
"That's right! It's soft and floppy, I've never eaten it before! ”
"Didn't you hear it too, it was all eaten by the ladies in the palace in the past."
"Yes, if it weren't for now, how would I have tasted the food of those nobles in my life?!" An old lady said, "Little girl, bring me two pennies ......."
"Okay, I'll put it up for you. Five dollars a penny, eleven two dollars, you take it......" Ah Niu's daughter-in-law wrapped the leaves that had been washed in advance and gave them to the old woman.
Now they have a very tight amount of money, and the oil paper is used by the rich, and the poor can only use leaves. So at first glance, I didn't think there was anything wrong with wrapping it with leaves.
"Give me ...... six cents," said a young woman with a big belly, a little shyly.
"How many of these six cents are ......" Ah Niu's daughter-in-law muttered, and before she could react, Fang Xiaoxiao had already blurted out: "Thirty-three!" ”
"Okay, you smile, it's been calculated so quickly." Liu Dong looked adoring, how could he never find out before?! He now felt that Fang Xiaoxiao had brought him too many surprises.
Wave after wave.
"Okay, don't be poor! Let's divide the work, I am responsible for settling the accounts, Liu Dong is responsible for sorting out the leaves, and my sister-in-law is responsible for making cakes, so that everyone can be in order. While speaking, Ah Niu's daughter-in-law had already wrapped the cake of the pot-bellied young woman, and Fang Xiaoxiao also specially instructed to put two more pieces so that the child in her belly could be hungry.
For a while, everyone was also attracted. They all rushed to get the cake, and seeing that there were more and more copper plates in their hands, a smile crossed Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
