Chapter 57: Give Some Face
Leng Yue saw that even the old man was squatting by the basket, looking at the passers-by coming and going, and he didn't open the basket, and he didn't sell it, so he couldn't sell the milk crisp cake in the basket until it was dark.
Leng Yue originally wanted to sell it himself, but even the old man didn't let him, saying that the woman would be pointed at if she showed up and stood on the street, so he just went and let Leng Yue wait for him.
When will this be?
Wait until dark to get home?
Even the old man is in a hurry, he has been squatting for a long time, why didn't anyone ask about this passerby?
"Dad, I'd better come." Leng Yue is an anxious person, seeing that even the old man didn't sell a piece of milk crisp cake for a long time, who cares that women should not show up, she is here to make money, not to do anything, others love to say it.
I opened the basket and took out a piece of milk pastry, put it on a plate and cut it into a few small pieces, and Leng Yue began to sell it on the street: "Fragrant and crispy milk cake, taste it for free!" It's delicious, and it's not delicious, and it doesn't cost money. ”
The first time the passers-by who were shopping on the road heard someone say that it was free to taste, everyone couldn't help but stop, looking at the golden pastries in the cold reading plate, and an aunt with a basket approached the cold reading and asked, "Is it really free to taste?" ”
"Really, auntie, you taste it, you don't need money if it's not delicious." Leng Yue handed the plate to the aunt, and invited the aunt to taste a piece with an excellent service attitude.
"You still need money to eat, forget it." The aunt waved her hand and refused Leng Yue's kindness.
Leng Yueleng paused for a moment, understood that the aunt had misunderstood the meaning of her words, and explained: "Auntie, it's not like this, you don't need money to taste this free pastry, if this pastry is not delicious, I don't need money for the pastries in this basket." ”
"Really?" The aunt looked at the yellow, tender milk crisp cake, quite appetizing, half-convinced took a small piece and put it in her mouth, as soon as she entered the mouth, the aunt nodded, and said to the lively everyone: "Well, it's really delicious, fragrant and tender." ”
When everyone heard the aunt say that it was delicious, they also rushed to taste it, and Leng Yue handed it over one by one.
The aunt who had tasted the taste asked Leng Yue: "How do you sell this pastry?" ”
"Two pennies a piece."
Leng Yue counted this account on the way to the town, she sold a pound of milk for fifteen yuan, a pound of milk can make fifty such milk cakes, plus oil, eggs, starch these materials, even if the cost is twenty yuan, that piece is sold for two yuan, a pound of milk can also make a net profit of eighty yuan after removing the capital, if this milk cake is easy to sell, it is not a problem to sell ten pounds of milk a day, so calculated, a month, she can net twenty-four taels of silver.
In less than half a year, she promised Jin'er to give Wan Baofang a hundred taels of silver.
"Get me two." The aunt who tasted it first took out four cents and gave it to Lian Laohan.
Even the old man saw that someone was buying his milk cake, so he quickly opened the basket and took two pieces for the aunt.
Doing business may be like this, one person buys, others will follow the trend and will buy, for a while, Leng Yue and Lian Lao Han are busy collecting money, and the other is busy taking milk cakes, and they are in full swing.
In less than half an hour, two catties of milk crisp cake were snatched up by passers-by.
"Gone?" The person who didn't buy it asked with regret when he saw that there was no one in the basket.
He really shouldn't have hesitated just now, if he knew that this pastry would sell so quickly, he would have bought a few pieces earlier.
"Today's all are sold out, if you don't buy it, you have to come back tomorrow, I and my dad will continue to sell here tomorrow." Leng Yue apologized to those who didn't buy the milk crisp cake.
"Okay." Seeing that there was nothing left, everyone dispersed.
"Dad, let's go home." Leng Yue packed up the basket and said to Lian Laohan: "Tomorrow, let's set up a pot and sell it while frying it, so that we can make more money." ”
Even the old man took out more than 100 yuan in his pocket, and admired Leng Yue's business mind more and more, "Dad doesn't understand anything, he can only help you with something or something, you can do what you think is good, you can keep this money." ”
"It's the same on you." Leng Yue thought that a cow in Lao Qiutou's family could not supply her with the amount of milk crisp cakes, so she had to find out where there was a cow that could provide ten catties or more of milk a day, so that her business would not worry about selling in the future.
"It's better for you to take it, it's what you earned." Even the old man forced the money to Leng Yue.
"Okay, Dad, you wait for me at Lao Qiutou, I'll find out where to sell fresh milk, otherwise I will not be able to set up a stall to sell tomorrow's business." Leng Yue thought that he was going to buy milk anyway, and he could pay the bill with this money.
"Okay, then be careful." Even the old man knew that at the speed of today's rush, a cow of Lao Qiutou's family could not supply the amount of pastries they sold, so he asked Leng Yue to find a milk source.
As soon as Leng Yue came to Xiaofu, he ran into Miss Ling'er going out, and Leng Yue hurriedly stepped forward, "Sister Ling'er." ”
"Sister Yueniang? It's you? What are you doing here? Ling'er was just about to get on the sedan chair, and when she saw that it was Leng Yue, she pulled Leng Yue and asked, "Have you thought about it, do you want to come to my house to be a cook?" My brother, father, mother, and I have missed your cooking skills for a long time. ”
"It's not." Leng Yue shook his head and explained his intentions: "Sister Ling'er, do you know where fresh milk is sold?" ”
"What are you buying that thing for? Did you use a milk petal bath at my place last time and miss it so much? Ling'er heard that Leng Yue didn't come to her house to do things, and although she regretted it, she also laughed and joked about Leng Yue.
"I'm a country woman, how can I afford that luxury, I want to buy some to make pastries." Leng Yue replied with a smile.
"Making pastries?" Ling'er's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Delicious!" Leng Yue nodded.
"Isn't it fishy?" Ling'er pouted: "My mother asked me to bathe in milk, and always said that that that thing is good for the skin after soaking for a long time, but I always think that thing smells fishy, and it doesn't smell good at all, so I have to put a lot of petal cover smell, but you want to use it to make pastries, isn't that weird?" ”
"It's not strange at all, on the contrary, it's still very fragrant and crispy, I'll make it tomorrow, and I'll give you a taste to make sure you still want to eat it." Leng Yue thinks this Ling'er is really cute.
"Really? Then you have to bring me a taste, it's delicious, I'll let my mother order more from you, and I'm tired of eating those snacks every day. "Ling'er has eaten the craft of cold reading once, and she is convinced of what cold reading makes.
"Okay, I'll set up a stall on Fanghua Road tomorrow to sell milk cakes, if it's convenient for you, you can come with Mrs. Xiao to try it, and take care of my business by the way." Leng Yue heard that there was business to do, and the stall was opened and promoted before it was set up.
"Well, I'll go." Ling'er chatted for a long time, and found that she was about to forget that there was something else to do when she went out, so she waved her hand at Leng Yue and said, "Sister Yueniang, I still have something to do, I will go to Fanghua Street to find you tomorrow." ”
"Sister Ling'er, you haven't told me where I can buy fresh milk." Leng Yue saw that Ling'er was leaving, so he was so anxious to hold her.
"Oh, yes, I forgot, the family's procurement has always been done by Steward Lu." Ling'er smiled embarrassedly at Leng Yue, and said to her personal maid: "Xiaosha, you go and ask Steward Lu to see where those milk Stewards in the house are purchased." ”
"Yes, miss." Xiao Sha blessed Ling'er and ran into the house.
Leng Yue finally found out that there is a town in this town that specializes in providing rich people's bathing milk from this delicious cattle farm, this cattle farm not only provides fresh milk for the bathing of the ladies and ladies of each province, but also provides fresh beef for each province, no wonder she made steak for them in Xiao Mansion last time, the meat quality is high.
reported the name of the housekeeper of Xiaofu Lu, and the little two who received Leng Yue were also enthusiastic, and when he heard that Leng Yue wanted to order ten catties of fresh milk, he also specially sent a bucket for Leng Yue.
Because it was introduced by Steward Lu of Xiaofu, Xiao Er gave the same price as Steward Lu, ten catties of one hundred and thirty wen, two cents cheaper than Lao Qiutou's house, Leng Yue felt that it was very cost-effective, and carried the bucket all the way to the west of the city to find the old man.
When he went home, Lian Hao was cooking, and when he heard the voices of Leng Yue and Lian Laohan coming back, Lian Hao came out to greet him, "You guys wash your hands first, and you can start eating soon, by the way, is it okay to go to town?" ”
"Smooth!" Lian Lao Han is in a very good mood, the milk crisp cake made by Yueniang sells so well, his family will soon be able to scrape together two hundred taels of silver for Lian Hao to treat his foot injury, can he not be happy.
"Earned thirty wen." Leng Yue said lukewarmly.
As soon as Lian Hao heard that he had worked hard to go to the town and blew the cold wind for a few hours, he only earned thirty yuan, so he persuaded Leng Yue: "Then don't sell it in the future, I have it at home, don't rely on those dozens of yuan, it's frozen, right?" ”
"Don't listen to Yueniang, the milk crisp cake made by Yueniang is easy to sell, it's only a quarter of an hour, all the pastries are sold out, and it costs a whole 160 yuan, Yueniang said 30 Wen, that's when she bought ten catties of milk from the town and came back, and she will continue to sell it tomorrow." Lian Laohan explained to Lian Hao.
If Yueniang doesn't sell milk crisp cakes, then where will the money come from for Lian Hao's feet.
"It sold so fast, how could it come back so late?" Lian Hao didn't believe Lian Laohan's words a little, he was afraid that his father would deliberately say something mysterious in order to raise money for him to treat his feet.
"Isn't that the time of Yueniang asking where there is fresh milk to sell?" Lian Laohan explained to Lian Hao again.
"I'll go with Yueniang tomorrow." Lian Hao still didn't believe Lian Laohan's words, he didn't believe in Yueniang's craftsmanship, he was afraid that his father would stay with Yueniang for a long time, and tell Yueniang about the two hundred taels of foot treatment, and Yueniang would be able to do things day and night.
He asked Jin'er today, what happened yesterday, Jin'er told him 1510, no wonder Yueniang made pastries to go to the town to sell, it turned out that she promised Jin'er to give Wan Baofang 100 taels of silver to let her live, so she worked so hard.
Yueniang has paid a lot for this family, Lian Hao really can't bear to put pressure on Yueniang again, he is the head of the family, how can he let the pressure of life in the family be all on Yueniang alone, it should be his responsibility to make money.
"I don't need you to accompany me, it's annoying to see you." Leng Yue didn't receive Lian Hao's affection, "You better stay at home and take care of your woman." ”
Lian Hao and Lian Laohan glanced at each other, no one spoke, Lian Laohan broke the deadlock between them and said: "It's not early, let's eat first, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”
In addition to Wan Baofang, a family of five sat at the table to eat, Xiu'er put down her chopsticks without eating a few bites, and muttered: "Dad's cooking is too unpalatable, Xiu'er still likes to eat her mother's cooking." ”
"It's unpalatable." Leng Yue agreed with Xiu'er and smiled.
The child kisses her, and cold reading is the most useful.
"Let's just order some food, you and your father have gone to the town, and no one at home cooks, so I can only reluctantly cook, it's not very delicious, isn't Jin'er also very fragrant." Lian Hao saw Leng Yue's mother and daughter attacking his cooking skills, and wanted to pull Jin'er up to save some face.
"Dad, your cooking skills are much worse than your mother's." Jin'er fell into the stone road.
"You?" Lian Hao has no face at all.
"Webbed ......" Leng Yue almost squirted out a mouthful of rice.
Lian Hao had a bitter face and glared at Jin'er, "If you don't eat it, forget it, you two little guys, you are raised by your mother, don't eat if your father's cooking is not delicious, don't think that your father doesn't know, how many milk cakes you ate in the afternoon, your stomach is already full, you are hungry for a few days, see if you don't think the food is not delicious." ”
"With your mother here, your father can't starve you." Leng Yue made a backer for Jin'er Xiu'er.
Jin'er smiled, buried herself in eating, although she ate milk cakes, she still finished the rice in the bowl, "I'll serve some rice to my mother." ”
"Go ahead." Leng Yue saw that Lian Hao and Lian Lao Han were silent, and nodded and asked Jin'er to serve the meal.
Xiu'er didn't eat half a bowl of rice, so she began to yawn.
Leng Yue put Xiu'er's unfinished meal in his bowl and said to Xiu'er: "Go play, when my mother finishes eating, will I wash your face and feet?" ”
"Okay." Xiu'er responded very obediently.
The two children got off the table, and there were only three adults left eating, Leng Yue ate dishes that were either salty or light, frowned and said in a strange manner: "Isn't there a woman in the family?" Are you reluctant to let her do things? ”
Lian Hao heard that Yueniang was going to find him again, this woman, he really couldn't do anything about her, so he put a piece of meat in the cold reading bowl, and said: "I know that the dishes I fried are not suitable for your taste, this meat is steamed by you, you eat more." ”
"Don't eat it." Leng Yue threw it back to Lian Hao.
"Stingy." Lian Hao took a bite of the meat and said coldly: "If I don't cook, ask that woman to do it, I don't know if someone will be even more angry?" ”
"I'm not angry." Leng Yue glanced at Lian Hao, "Do you like to scream or not, can I control it?" ”
"Alright, alright, don't be angry." Lian Hao was afraid of making Leng Yue angry, so he had to coax her, "I'd rather suffer myself, no matter how bad the fried food is, I will cook for you to eat, I'm afraid that woman will poison us." ”
After Leng Yue heard this, he was angry and funny, put down his chopsticks and sneered: "I can't eat this meal." ”
"Let's eat, give your man a little face, and eat some more, okay?" Lian Hao pulled Leng Yue and didn't let him get off the table.
Even the old man saw that the two of them were flirting, so he took some food and went to the courtyard to eat with a bowl.
"Don't eat it!" Leng Yue was coaxed by Lian Hao, and said that he wouldn't eat, but his ass sat back on the stool.
"Shall I feed you?"
"Don't." Leng Yue smiled and skimmed his face.
"If you don't want it, you have to ask for it." Lian Hao directly moved roughly, pulled Leng Yue into his thigh, held her with one hand and the other with the vegetables, and ordered: "Eat!" ”
"Why are you so annoying?"
"The nasty things are still to come, see how I clean you up tonight."
"You dare!"
"Do you think I dare?" Lian Hao smiled evilly, "You are so unbehaved, it seems that I can only conquer you by pointing to your hole." ”
