Chapter 30: Ideas

Qiao Ruyi thought in her heart, if she could make a kind of food, three or five cents to eat her stomach, which was cheap and could cushion her stomach, those people from small families would definitely come to patronize.

Qiao Ruyi thought about it like this, and her heart stirred, those big restaurants, big inns, she didn't have the strength to compete with them, it was better to do the business of the guests they couldn't do, this piece happened to be no one to do it yet, try to do it first, even if everyone is fresh, there will be people to consume once or twice, and when they buy a few times and feel that it is cost-effective, it is a fixed customer.

Qiao Ruyi thought about it in her heart, so she planned what to sell, she not only had a lot of Chinese pastry practices in her heart, but also knew a lot of Western pastry practices, and she also knew a lot about the practices of Luchuan Yuesu Hunan cuisine, which was also due to the fact that she was originally a foodie, and when she had nothing to do on weekdays, she would think about some food by herself, and when she encountered delicious dishes outside, she would do everything possible to get the recipe and go home to make it herself, and it had to be the same as the taste made outside.

I didn't expect to use it at this time, Qiao Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there are too few seasonings, ingredients, and pots here, and many things can't be done, Qiao Ruyi thought of the red date steamed buns made at home today, and the effect is very good, and it is also simple and easy to make, this can be considered.

Qiao Ruyi thought about it, and stopped at a rice noodle shop, since she planned to make steamed buns, of course she had to prepare more flour. Qiao Ruyi raised her feet and stepped into the store.

Guest, what do you need to get inside--- get inside?

When the young man saw that a guest was coming, he greeted him warmly.

Qiao Ruyi replied:

I'm going to buy some white noodles.

Yes, the noodles here are much whiter than those elsewhere, and the flour in our store is whiter than the flour in our store, and it tastes strong.

The young man looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a smile on his face, and he gave Qiao Ruyi a courteous introduction.

Qiao Ruyi looked at the flour in his pocket, indeed as the young man said, this flour is not a little whiter than the old lady Qiao's mother, as for whether it is strong or not, you can only know when you make steamed buns, Qiao Ruyi nodded and asked:

How much is a pound of flour for you?

Two pennies and one pound

The young man replied with a smile, our flour is ground from the new wheat this year, not the old noodles that have been put for many years, and the guest officer will know when he goes back to try it.

Two Wen and one catty, Qiao Ruyi calculated in his heart, one pound of flour, make three steamed buns, buy three Wen for each steamed bun, and three steamed buns are Jiuwen, remove the raw materials so that you can earn seven Wen per catty. Qiao Ruyi thought so in her heart, so she nodded and decided to ask for it.

That young man, give me ten pounds.

Hey, you wait, guest officer, I'll give you the title.

When the young man heard this, he quickly took a brown paper bag, brushed the noodles into the bag with a shovel, and then put it on the scale, and said:

Exactly, ten catties, guest officer, you are optimistic about this high.

The young man held up and let Qiao Ruyi see it.

Qiao Ruyi nodded, took out twenty wen from his arms and gave it to the young man, then put the flour in the back basket and walked out of the flour shop.

Qiao Ruyi walked forward again, and saw that there was a man in front of him who was carrying a burden and shouting for business, Qiao Ruyi thought that they had little capital now, and the only capital they had to use to buy ingredients must not be enough to rent a shop, so they could also carry the burden out and sell it like this at the beginning.

Qiao Ruyi came to the man who carried the burden, and saw that most of the burdens were home-raised vegetables and fruits, and asked the price and found that they were all very cheap, so he bought some red dates, pumpkins, and purple potatoes, bought two catties each, and spent ten cents, Qiao Ruyi put these things in the back basket.

This time, he felt a little heavy when he carried it, Qiao Ruyi looked at it, there was nothing to buy, so he picked up the basket and walked home.

I don't know what Laixing and Nina are doing?

Qiao Ruyi thought in her heart, quickened her pace and hurried back, and when she arrived at the door, Qiao Ruyi saw Qiao Laixing and Qiao Ruxin sitting quietly on the threshold.

When the two saw Qiao Ruyi, they trotted over and surrounded Qiao Ruyi.

Nina Qiao asked:

Sister, what are you doing here?

Qiao Laixing took the back basket behind Qiao Ruyi, like a little adult, wrinkled his nose, and said a little unhappily:

Sister, next time you don't leave me at home, I wake up at home and don't see you, but I'm worried about you.

And me, and me. Sister, you will take me with you in the future.

Qiao Ru said anxiously.

Qiao Ruyi listened and explained to the two:

I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't bother you, thinking that I would let you sleep well, I went to the back mountain to collect some grass, dug up herbs and sold them to Dr. Chen, and then bought flour, red dates, and purple potatoes in the town.

Qiao Laixing also saw these things in the back basket, and asked with some confusion:

Sister, what are you buying these things for?

Qiao Ruyi didn't answer him, and asked first:

Do you think the steamed buns we make are delicious?

Delicious, delicious. I've never tasted anything like this

As soon as Qiao Ruxin heard the food, she shouted happily first.

Qiao Ruyi listened, touched Qiao Ruxin's head with a smile, and said his plan:

I thought that we could take the steamed buns to the town to sell, not only the red date steamed buns, but also the purple potato steamed buns, pumpkin steamed buns, all made and taken to the town to buy, we don't sell expensive, each Sanwen, do you say it's good?

Good, good-

Qiao Ruxin didn't understand what Qiao Ruyi said, but when she saw Qiao Ruyi say, her face was full of confidence, and she couldn't help cheering.

Qiao Ruyi looked at Qiao Ruxin with a smile and turned her head to look at Qiao Laixing.

Qiao Laixing lowered his head and was silent, thought for a while, raised his head and said:

Sister, just listen to you, if we can't sell it, we can still eat it ourselves.

Qiao Laixing was not as good as Qiao Ruxin, and thought about it for a while after his own brain.

Although Qiao Laixing is a little pessimistic about this, it is very practical, and what Qiao Laixing thinks makes sense, if it can't be sold, these things can't be broken, just keep it for food, she can't think of other ways to make money.

Qiao Ruyi thought about it like this, and then agreed and said: Zixing is right, we can't sell it, we can eat it ourselves.

Qiao Ruyi took Qiao Laixing, and Qiao Ruxin went back to the yard.

Qiao Ruxin took out the weeds in the basket and went to feed the sheep, flour, purple potatoes, pumpkins, and red dates, and Qiao Laixing moved them to the kitchen. Qiao Ruyi put the remaining thirty wen and the thirty coins and fifty wen silver he had saved before in a cloth bag, and hid them in a porcelain jar.

Qiao Ruyi put the cloth bag away and walked to the kitchen, took three small purple potatoes, a handful of red dates, cut off a piece of pumpkin, and said to Qiao Laixing:

Wash each of these three things, steam them in a pot, and then crush them with a small spoon.

Got it, sister.

Qiao Laixing agreed.

After Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, he scooped the flour from the flour bag and poured it into the three basins respectively, because to make three kinds of steamed buns, they could only be separated and noodles, and then they would be steamed together.
