Leaving the Chang family, without the harassment of the Zhang family, Shen Qingru's small life became leisurely. There are still a few days to go out of confinement, and her money-making plan can finally be implemented.

Xiao Baozi and her body are still very weak, and the daily tonic is a big expense. The money in her hand won't last long.

When the family was separated, Aunt Liu's family was considered to be out of the house, only a few acres of thin fields were changed, and the soil quality was very poor. However, Chang Shan took Chang Shui around the back mountain and brought back a lot of game. Most of them went into Shen Qingru's stomach. This family felt ashamed of Shen Qingru and the three of them, and they were all close to them if they had any good things.

Shen Qingru counted day by day with her fingers, and finally, on a sunny day, she completely bid farewell to the confinement life.

"It's finally over, now I can go out, Aunt Lan."

Aunt Lan looked at her cheerful appearance and couldn't be amused: "Of course you can, but you still have to be careful not to catch a cold." ”

"Aunt Liu, where's the thing?" Two days ago, Aunt Liu went to town, and Shen Qingru asked her to buy a lot of flour and eggs.

"In the kitchen. Why don't I do it? These days, Shen Qingru has been talking about what cake to make, but Aunt Liu only said it casually to her, but she didn't expect to really make it herself.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu." Shen Qingru smiled, she used to like to cook something to eat by herself when she was fine, although the ancient materials and tools were not complete, but the food after thousands of years should be very marketable now.

Shen Qingru planned to make a few simple small cakes first. Add milk and eggs to the flour and stir well. Add some more diced fruit. Finally, put it in the prepared grinder, cover it and steam in the steamer for a quarter of an hour. The moment the lid is opened, the fragrance fills the small kitchen.

"Sister Shen, it's so fragrant." Xiaoyu sniffed her nose, the pastries just out of the pot were fragrant and soft, and they were very tempting to look at.

"Taste it, how does it taste?" Shen Qingru gave each of them a piece.

Aunt Liu tasted it carefully, and her eyes lit up: "I'm afraid this is better than the pastries in Xiangmanlou." "Heung Man Lou is the best pastry shop in town, and the cheapest pastries cost a penny. Aunt Liu has never eaten it, but it doesn't taste as good as it smells.

"When did Miss learn?" Aunt Lan was also surprised, this taste was better than that of the cooks in the previous house.

Shen Qingru smiled: "Didn't I study for a while before, I haven't done it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be remembered." "The original owner learned cooking skills for a while for the sake of his father, but then he heard that the pastries sent were given to his subordinates, so he didn't make them. This incident is also one of her black history, at that time the two had not yet married, the boudoir woman sent food to the foreign man, I don't know how many people poked the backbone of the joke, for this, the original owner was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.

Speaking of which, many times, Shen Qingru admires the courage of the original owner, and he is very brave when he is stupid.

As soon as she said this, Aunt Lan also remembered it, and her mood was suddenly not very good, and she wanted to throw away the pastries in her hand, but she was reluctant.

Shen Qingru laughed: "It's all over." Do you think this pastry will sell? ”

"It's sure to be a big hit." Aunt Liu said.

"Good. Then we'll do more and sell it in town tomorrow. Shen Qingru's morale was greatly boosted, Aunt Lan and Aunt Liu Xiaoyu also came over to help, and Shen Qingru taught them how to do it hand in hand. The steps were not difficult, and the three of them learned it quickly.

When Chang Dazhuang and the three of them came back in the evening, they smelled the fragrance from afar, and thought they were going the wrong way.

"Mother, what are you doing, it's so fragrant." Chang Shui came in, saw a table of pastries at a glance, and couldn't wait to take one and throw it into his mouth, "Wow, it's so delicious." ”

"This is what Sister Shen taught us to do, and we want to sell it for silver." The light rain is crisp and vivid.

Shen Qingru said this to the three of them about his plan to sell pastries, which was strongly supported. Everyone discussed it and decided that Aunt Liu would take Changshan and Changshui to the town early tomorrow morning to sell.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Aunt Liu took Chang Shan and Chang Shui to drive the borrowed ox cart to the town.

When it's time to eat, people haven't come back yet. Shen Qingru was a little apprehensive, and it stands to reason that he should have come back a long time ago. Although she was confident in the pastries she made, she didn't know what the purchasing power of these people in ancient times was.

It wasn't until lunch that the three of them returned home with excitement on their faces, and Shen Qingru's heart was put back in his stomach.

"How?" Aunt Lan was the most anxious, and she couldn't help but ask when she welcomed people back. "Why are you only coming back now?"

Aunt Liu wiped the beads of sweat on her head, and just as she was about to answer, Chang Shui rushed to say, "We went to the county, so we came back late." ”

"To the county?" Shen Qingru was curious. Qingshui Village is two hours away from the county, and even if you take an ox cart, it will take more than half an hour.

"yes. When we got to town, there wasn't much of a person. It doesn't sell well either. Seeing that it was still early, my mother decided to sell it in the county, where there are many rich people, and she will definitely be able to sell it at a good price. Speaking of this, Chang Shui smirked a few more times: "Sure enough, not long after our stall was set up, the pastries were snatched up." Many of the ones we didn't buy asked if we would go tomorrow. ”

Aunt Liu took out a money bag from her bosom and poured it on the table, and there were two broken silver grains in a small pile of copper coins. "Fifty pieces of pastry were sold for a total of five taels of silver, and one piece of silver."

"Sold so much." Shen Qingru was a little surprised, they originally planned to sell two pieces of pastry for one penny of silver, and it would be good to sell them for two taels of silver. I didn't expect the whole to double.

"Our pastries are delicious, cheap, and popular, so why don't you make more today?" Aunt Liu proposed.

Shen Qingru shook his head: "We can't do too much, and we can't be busy." And we seek refinement rather than quantity, and sell too much but a lot. "She and Aunt Lan have to take care of the little buns, Xiaoyu is still young, what can be done is limited, Aunt Liu has to make pastries and run to sell them, and she will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time." Why don't we bring in the pillar sister-in-law to help and pay her on a monthly basis. ”

"Okay. I went to her. Aunt Liu said and prepared to go out.

"Hey, let's eat before we go." Aunt Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

Aunt Liu had already walked away at this time, and only responded from afar: "I'm not hungry, I'll eat when I come back." "She's still in a state of excitement, and she really doesn't feel hungry.

Aunt Liu arrived at Zhuzi's house and explained her intentions, and Zhuzi's daughter-in-law agreed without saying a word. However, Aunt Liu said that she was only willing to take two taels of wages for three taels and one month.

"I breastfeed Brother Ji, and I still have a tael of silver a month. plus these two taels, it's also three taels. It's been months of income compared to the last family. The pillar daughter-in-law said. Aunt Li also responded on the side. Aunt Liu couldn't resist them, so she didn't insist anymore.
