Chapter 21 Try to do business
Min Wanwan smiled and opened the basket and took out another small piece of red sweet cake from it: "Uncle, this cake was just made today, I will bring you a piece to try it, and in the future, my man's legs will all depend on you, tomorrow, I will make some cakes to sell in the county, and when you are empty, come and cheer for it!" ”
Seeing the red and tempting little cake, Dr. Fang swallowed his saliva, nodded, and took it without hindrance: "Cheng, my daughter will rely on this cake, I have to go to give you a scene tomorrow, and I have to go to the west of the village to see a doctor, so I won't delay." ”
After delivering the cake to Dr. Fang, Min Wanwan carried the basket and hurried home.
I used the wild vegetables left over from noon, spread out a cake, and made a pot of gnocchi soup, and ate it for dinner.
In the back room, there are two kerosene lamps lit on the table, and Min Wanwan sits at the table, stirring the dough that will be used to make Western-style bread tomorrow.
Because considering that the materials for making cakes are limited and very expensive, I am afraid that there will be fewer people to buy in the county tomorrow, and it will be wasted if I do more, so fortunately, I will make a few small cakes, and the remaining noodles will be used to make some Western-style bread, which is low cost and not wasted.
Cheng Yan sat on the kang, throwing a big bowl in his arms, and holding a simple egg beater with several pairs of chopsticks tied into a bundle.
After all, after beating Min Wanwan so many times before and after, she probably knew the doorway, so she groped for such an egg beater, which would be faster, and the quality of the cream would also improve a lot.
He looked at Min Wanwan, who was seriously sitting at the table kneading dough, and smiled unconsciously: "Don't worry, Wanwan, the cake you made will be sold in the town tomorrow: it will definitely be robbed in a while." ”
Looking at Min Wanwan with a serious face, and a touch of firmness in his eyes, he knew that Min Wanwan was doing this to make their lives better, and his heart unconsciously warmed a lot.
Min Wanwan smiled at him, patted the flour off her hand, and covered it with a cloth: "Oh, that's for sure!" ”
Early the next morning, before dawn, Min Wanwan burned the stove and began to prepare to make cakes, the ingredients had been prepared last night, so it didn't take long for a few small cakes to be easily made.
Taking advantage of the time to make breakfast, I used the stove to bake the noodles sent last night, and waited for Cheng Yan to finish eating, and the bread was baked.
Because she didn't know when she would be able to come back from the county, Min Wanwan prepared enough food and drink for Cheng Yan on the kang to ensure that she couldn't starve him.
Everything was ready, I went back to the house, changed into clean clothes, put the cake and bread in the basket, and went out with my shoulders.
As soon as she went out, she heard Cheng Yan shouting in the back room and telling her: "Be careful on the road and come back early!" ”
"Oh, you know!"
Min Wanwan responded vividly, and set off towards the town with a basket full of excitement.
When I first arrived in the town, the sky was already bright, and there were a lot of stalls in the market one after another, and Min Wanwan followed Uncle Liu, who sold bamboo baskets in the same village, to occupy a good stall in the market.
Because it was also the first time to stand in the market, she carried a basket and didn't prepare anything, Uncle Liu, who was selling bamboo baskets next to her, smiled and took out a piece of cloth that looked a little shabby from the frame next to her: "Girl, I see that you didn't bring anything, you will use this cloth, next time you come out, prepare carefully, it's best to bring a stool or something to stand for a day, and you will be tired." ”
Taking Uncle Liu's cloth, Min Wanwan smiled and nodded: "Oh, thank you, uncle, I'll return it to you when the stall is closed in a while!" ”
Placing the cloth on the ground in front of her, she carefully put the basket on it, slowly took out the clean cloth head that protected the cake and bread in the basket, and spread it on the cloth mat.
Seeing that the people in the market were almost there, he slowly laid out the cakes and bread in the basket.
Sure enough, as soon as the cake was put on the table, it attracted several uncles and aunts around.
"Girl, what are you selling?"
In this year, when there are any strange things, everyone likes to gather around to join in the fun.
"This is called cake, this is called bread, they are all snacks from the west, uncles and aunts, I just came out of the stall today, this small cake is five cents, bread is two five cents, you all have a big deal, buy it back and try it, it's delicious, and I'll buy it again in the future!"
Min Wanwan also put aside her face, stood in front of the stall and opened her voice and shouted.
In this era, such a large cake sells for five cents, which is a bit expensive for ordinary farmers.
But the precious materials in it, as well as technically, she thinks that this one five cents is also very affordable, after all, she dares to guarantee the ticket, in this radius of hundreds or even thousands of miles, this cake is only sold by her.
As soon as they heard the price, the uncles and aunts who gathered around all forgot about it, and talked about it around, but they didn't disperse, after all, this cake and bread were all they had never seen, and they were very strange.
Min Wanwan also understood, so she simply continued to shout, and after a while, there were more and more people around, but no one dared to be the head of the cake buyer.
"Girl, I'll come and cheer you on."
Just when she was a little helpless, an aunt in a flower dress and a basket in her hand was squeezed out of the crowd.
At first glance, isn't this Aunt Ma!
"Girl, bring me a piece of that cake!"
Under the gaze of the people around her, Aunt Ma magnanimously took out a gross ticket from the basket and handed it to Min Wanwan.
Min Wanwan was not ambiguous, nodded with a smile, and neatly picked a cake from the stall and handed it to Aunt Ma: "Auntie eat it while it's fresh, this is just made early this morning!" ”
She didn't expect that the first customer turned out to be Aunt Ma, and her heart was instantly full of gratitude.
Aunt Ma took the cake, and she was also excited, she ate the red sweet cake sent by Min Wanwan yesterday and never forgot it, although the price was a bit expensive, but she still bought it painfully.
"The cake made by this girl is famous in our village, hurry up and buy it while it's fresh, don't wait a while, the people from our village are here, and they are all gone."
Aunt Ma was shouting, holding the cake carefully in her hand, and couldn't help but take a bite on it, with a sense of satisfaction.
The people around were also skeptical, and finally an aunt couldn't help but lean forward, took out a crumpled gross ticket from her arms and handed it to Min Wanwan.
"Bring a piece to my aunt, and pick a big one for me."
"Cheng, there are a lot of red sweets on this piece!"
You beckoned slowly, and after a while, someone bought a few more pieces of bread and a cake.
There were more and more people around, and the aunt who ate the cake shouted incredibly: "This thing is really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious thing!" ”
As soon as these words came out, more and more people bought them, and after a while, the cakes and bread on the stalls were all sold, and the number of people around them only increased.
"Well, I knew that I would have bought a piece just now."
"I heard the aunt just say that the true value of this five-cent flower!"
"But no, just now my brother bought two breads and gave me some taste, it was really delicious!"
It's all sold out, if you want, come back tomorrow, I'll still sell it here tomorrow. ”
She shouted a few times, and the people around her slowly dispersed.
