Gu Nuannuan looked at Aunt Li expectantly as she spoke, and when she saw that she was still hesitating, she deliberately frowned in distress and said pitifully: "Auntie, if you don't agree, then I can really only really sell pastry recipes, I can make my own recipes that can earn hundreds, thousands of taels or even more silver, and at most a few taels of silver will be a few taels of silver, so what is the loss?" What's the difference between that and selling a chicken that lays golden eggs? ”

"Why is that all there is?" What he said made Aunt Li startled.

"How not?" Gu Nuannuan said matter-of-factly, "Auntie, you only took advantage of me when you learned the ability to make pastries, but you didn't know that this ability to make pastries was not as exaggerated as you said, almost no one in our village knew it, and that was because you didn't usually see it." But this is not a too rare skill outside, as long as you look at it a few more times, even if you are stupid, you can almost learn it as long as you go back and explore it a few more times. ”

Gu Nuannuan took Aunt Li's hand and said sincerely: "If it's really hard to learn, I can't look at it a few times at the beginning, and now I can make it myself, right?" You can't tell me to hide in the house all day and do nothing but make that pastry, right? Isn't that enough to exhaust me? Besides, it's not good, I'm afraid I'm just tired of what a person can make is very limited, not to mention the money I make, so it's really better to sell it directly. ”

Aunt Li: "......"

"Auntie, I've thought about it in the future, our two families will be considered a partnership, and when we start to earn more than how much money we can make, we will each take a lot of money per month to count as wages, and if we make money, everyone's wages will rise. Every month, I will leave you a bonus of 30%, and naturally this bonus is not given in vain, and you have to make up for this 30% of the capital after you take it. ”

Gu Nuannuan looked at Aunt Li with a look of hope, and shook her sleeves: "You just agree, I really can't find anyone else to partner with except you, how can I put my mind at ease with others?" You see, I didn't even dare to say anything in front of my in-laws, not because I was afraid that once they found out, they would shut me up and tell me to make pastries for them without stopping. Not to mention others, I'm afraid I don't have to wait for the real money to make money, I will just throw me over the wall and start a new business on my own. ”

"They dare to ......" Aunt Li's face changed, she stopped halfway through her words, looked at Gu Nuannuan with pity and sighed, "It's not actually because Hongyi is not at home." ”

"Yes, it's because he's not there, so Haoyang and I are under control everywhere." Gu Nuannuan sighed on her lips, but said disapprovingly in her heart: It's good that he is not here, otherwise if he is still stupid and filial before, he doesn't see his parents and brothers and sisters clearly, and they are still under the same control? But in front of Aunt Li, Gu Nuannuan would definitely not say that. She looked at Aunt Li, "Auntie, I believe you can't do that to me, right?" ”

"Of course not." Aunt Li immediately shook her head.

"Auntie, did you agree?" Gu Nuannuan was very happy.

“.…..” After a long time, Aunt Li sighed and laughed at herself, "That's it, let's take advantage of this cheap aunt." Anyway, you don't have to worry about a lot of debts, our family takes advantage of you and takes advantage of you, and it's not clear in this life. ”

Just agreed, Gu Nuannuan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is a mutually beneficial thing, how can you take advantage of it?" Besides, you are a family member, and the proportion is not large. ”

"Nuan Nuan, this aunt still doesn't want it. To be honest, it is already a blessing for my aunt's family to learn the craft of making pastries, and no matter what happens to future generations, no matter what happens to them, they can have a craft and not be hungry. How can we be greedy enough for your molecules? Speaking of molecules, Aunt Li quickly shook her head and refused.

"Auntie, don't rush to push this molecule out. I've heard that there are big shopkeepers in restaurants and shops outside, and it actually means to make people work more dedicatedly. Gu Nuannuan explained.

"I don't want that aunt's family to do my best with you." Aunt Li shook her head.

"Auntie--" Gu Nuannuan was helpless, she looked at Aunt Li speechlessly, seeing that she insisted on having to smile and sigh, "Let's not talk about this first, okay?" Anyway, I'll keep this molecule for you, and if you want it, you will have to wait until everyone makes money later. It's not making money yet, so let's talk about it for this first, it's quite boring, and everyone will think it's funny when it spreads, right? ”

"Yes, that's right. Then let's wait until we make money later. Aunt Li thought about it, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and the two couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other.

Aunt Li has done it here, and Gu Nuannuan is not worried that the rest of the Xu family will object, after all, this is definitely good for them. At that moment, Aunt Li joined hands, and the two started to make rice cakes.

The steps of making rice cakes are quite simple, as long as the rice and a small amount of glutinous rice are ground, kneaded with a small amount of water, and steamed in the pot. Grinding rice, Gu Nuannuan didn't have a stone grinder, but she had a lot of strength, and she didn't make many rice cakes, so she was impatient to send the rice to Aunt Li's house to grind, so she directly found a flat stone and easily pressed the rice into powder with great strength.

The two of them started together, talking and laughing, and soon steamed the rice cake, lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of aroma came out, which immediately attracted Luo Haoyang and Xiaoshizi, who woke up from a nap, and the two small ones saw that the rice cake was like a mouse seeing oil, and their saliva flowed all over the ground, and they couldn't care about the hot hands and couldn't wait to eat it.

"I didn't expect this rice cake to be so easy to make." Seeing the two little ones eating happily, Aunt Li's face became more and more loving, and she sighed with Gu Nuannuan.

"It's not that hard." Gu Nuannuan also smiled and watched the two small ones eat without forgetting to cut a piece for herself and Aunt Li, "Auntie, we didn't use much rice to make so much, even if such a piece is sold for one penny or two pennies in the future, it will be profitable, do you say that this is very profitable?" ”

"Who said Ben was small? You've only counted the money for rice, but what about sugar? You haven't counted how much sugar we put here? If you really only sell for a penny or two, I'm afraid you won't even have enough sugar. Aunt Li was much more shrewd than Gu Nuannuan, and she glanced at her with disgust and pointed out, "This sugar is not delicious if it is not sweet if it is not sweet, and it is big if it is put too much, so it makes sense that people's pastries are expensive." ”

"It's easy to do, and I have a way to solve this problem without spending any money." Gu Nuannuan patted her head, how could she forget that white sugar is a rare thing, even in the early modern period, a bowl of sugar water can be taken out to entertain distinguished guests. It seems that the ancient pastries were expensive, and there was a certain relationship with the high price of sugar. However, this is easy for her to solve, and the sweetness that pastries need is not necessarily sugar, and she can find several common "sugars" that can be extracted from them from the plants that are full of wild food.

"Can you solve it, how can you solve it?" Aunt Li was curious.

"I'll keep it a secret for now." Gu Nuannuan smiled mysteriously, she knew that she would not believe it if she directly said that she would extract "sugar" from plants that can be found everywhere now, so she simply thought that it would not be too late to wait until she got it out, so she asked again, "Auntie, don't you really come to dinner at night?" ”

"No, I'll go back at night and tell you Uncle Xu about it." Aunt Li looked at Gu Nuannuan and didn't answer or insist on knowing the answer, just shook her head and said.

"Okay, then you can bring this roast duck with you." Gu Nuannuan said as she took out a roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves and put it in the basket, while cutting off most of the remaining rice cake and stuffing it for Aunt Li. Aunt Li still refused, seeing that Gu Nuannuan glared at her unhappily, she quickly smiled and changed her words, "Okay, don't be upset, just accept it." ”

"That's right." Gu Nuannuan was happy at this time.
