Chapter 31: The Cake Is Born
readx;? Zishu of the sister control thought that Ziluo was frightened, so she nervously picked up Ziluo and asked worriedly: "Ah Luo, you are fine, not afraid, not afraid." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
At this time, Ziluo came back to her senses. When she saw the nervousness on her eldest brother's face and heard her brother keep asking her if she was okay, tears welled up in her eyes, thinking that she was really lucky to have a family that loved her so much.
Zishu saw Ziluo crying, and couldn't help but become more nervous, he was afraid that Ziluo had been injured just now, so he checked Ziluo up and down, until he confirmed that Ziluo really didn't touch anywhere.
"Little girl, don't you feel sorry for your sugar gourd? Don't be afraid, I'll buy you a handful. Shen Yifan thought that Ziluo was crying because she felt sorry for her sugar gourd and couldn't eat it, so he saw a vendor selling sugar gourds on the side and motioned for the vendor to come over.
The peddler was also very clever, and quickly ran over and handed the whole sugar gourd to Zishu's hand, and then took the silver from Shumo's hand.
These things happened almost instantly, Ziluo saw that the big handful of sugar gourds couldn't react, and couldn't help but stop sobbing and looked at Shen Yifan in a daze. This scene fell in Shen Yifan's eyes, he thought that she was indeed crying because of the sugar gourd just now, which made him cry and laugh, and felt that this little girl was really cute!
"How embarrassing is this, we met you first, how can we let you break the bank. Zishu reacted and hurriedly asked for the money to be given to the vendor, but the people had already left.
"It's okay, it's good that the little girl is happy. Let's take our leave!"
Until Shen Yifan and the others walked away, Ziluo looked at the sugar gourd in the eldest brother's hand, and suddenly had an urge to burst into tears!
"Ah Luo, do you want to eat another bunch?" Zishu also thought that Zi Luo was crying because of the sugar gourd.
"Okay!" Ziluo knew that her eldest brother had also misunderstood, but she decided not to analyze it, anyway, everyone misunderstood, so she just ate enough, anyway, she really hadn't eaten it just now. (Ah Luo, are you sure you don't like sugar, and I feel sorry that I couldn't finish the string of sugar gourds just now.) ๏ผ
So, Zishu took Ziluo, who was eating sugar gourds, and continued to go shopping!
As for the sugar gourd with the broom, later Ziluo and Xiaoliu, as well as Zitao, they didn't finish eating it for a whole day, Ziwei was afraid that a few small ones would lose their teeth, so they asked Ziluo to take them and distribute them to the pillars and plugs.
Then they went to the pork stall and bought several pounds of lean meat and a lot of pork bones.
Ever since Zishu discovered the deliciousness of bone broth, almost every time they went to the streets, they would buy a lot of pork bones and lean meat.
After almost a month of bone broth nourishment, Zishu also clearly felt the benefits of bone broth. They found that after drinking the bone broth, they were very energetic, and they slept more deliciously. But what they don't know is that there is also Ziluo adding space water to it.
Now whenever they come to catch Ji, Ziwei will give money to buy these pig bones.
When they passed by a stall selling mung bean cakes, Zishu remembered that Ziluo liked to eat mung bean cakes the most. So he asked, "Ah Luo, is it okay for my eldest brother to buy you mung bean cake?"
Ziluo knew that this must be the last time Aunt Chen gave a box of mung bean cakes to their brothers and sisters, Ziluo ate a lot of mung bean cakes at once because she loved to eat them, and then she almost couldn't eat dinner. Zishu noticed it, so she knew that she loved mung bean cakes.
Ziluo looked at the tempting mung bean cakes that had been cut up, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the eldest brother expectantly.
Zishu saw that there was something else he didn't understand here, so he bought a big box for Ziluo, but he didn't forget to instruct: "Stay home and eat it again, you can't eat it all in one go like before." You know what?"
Ziluo nodded hurriedly!
Suddenly, Ziluo couldn't help but think of modern delicious cakes, there doesn't seem to be such food as cakes here. If there really isn't a cake here, wouldn't it be another way to make money? But it doesn't seem to have eggs at home. So she said to Zishu: "Big brother, let's buy some eggs and go back, okay?"
Zishu remembered that since the second uncle snatched the two hens that laid eggs from their house, Ziluo and Xiaoliu had not eaten eggs. So, he agreed without hesitation.
"Auntie, how do you sell these eggs?" asked Zishu when he arrived at the stall selling eggs.
"How much does a young man want for a penny?"
Ziluo knew that it would take a lot of eggs to make cakes, so she said to Zishu: "Big brother, let's buy twenty, okay?"
"Okay, let's buy twenty. Zishu said.
"Here are twenty, count them. The lady who bought the eggs put them in a small basket and handed them over.
"Give, twenty cents. After making sure that the number of eggs was correct, Zishu handed the money to the eldest lady.
Ziluo and the others returned home just in time for lunch. After lunch, Ziluo told everyone that she was going to make a cake, and everyone thought that Ziluo had learned it from her fairy grandfather, so she didn't ask much.
When Zi Xuan was caught by Zi Luo to help her whip the egg whites, Zi Xuan complained and took pity on his hands! Until the egg whites were finished, Zi Xuan had been stirring for more than a quarter of an hour.
Ziluo mixed the egg yolk with flour, sugar and egg whites well and steamed it in the pot, there is no way there is no oven here.
When the cake came out of the pot, everyone was attracted by the sweet taste. Zixuan also threw away the resentment of playing egg whites just now!
After everyone tasted the cake, they all agreed that this cake was a delicious pastry they had ever tasted, and Ziluo became more and more confident in her cake!
She had tasted the pastries of Jufangzhai given to them by Shopkeeper Liu before, and found that the taste of the pastries was very ordinary, and the workmanship was not very fine. As a result, she speculated that the craftsmanship of pastry making here was far from modern. Perhaps, she can make a lot of money with this cake-making skill!
"Big brother, shall we take this cake out and buy it?" Ziluo asked.
"Big brother, little sister's suggestion is good. I think the cake made by Xiaomei is even more delicious than the dim sum made by Jufangzhai, and if we sell it, someone will definitely buy it. Zixuan said.
"Yes, I think so. Zi Tao also said.
Zishu also felt that it was feasible, so he said to Ziwei: "Eldest sister, I also think Zixuan and they are right, why don't we try it?"
"Then we'll try some at the next fair. Ziwei agreed.
In the next few days, Ziluo was even more dedicated to studying how to enrich and perfect the cake. The hard work paid off, and the cakes made by Ziluo later became more and more delicious, and she also made a special red date cake with red dates. Ziluo thought it would be better if she had milk, so that the cake she made would definitely taste better.
Finally waited for the next market! On this day, Ziluo and her brothers and sisters set off to the town together again! Because, they had agreed with Shopkeeper Liu that they would come to the door to pick up the braised rabbit meat at the end of the hour, and it was still early, so Ziluo and the others decided to send the rabbit meat they wanted to Liuxianglou by the way, so that there was no need for Shopkeeper Liu to send someone to run.
This time they only caught four rabbits, and Zishu carried them alone. Then, the ten catties of cakes they made were carried by Zixuan. Ziwei carried the embroidered handkerchief she had made, and was ready to take it to the embroidery shop to see if Ru Niangzi wanted it. Although they were busy harvesting persimmons in the past ten days, the diligent Ziwei also made a lot of embroidery handkerchiefs.
And Zi Tao and the three of them went into battle empty-handed!
Before the beginning of the day, Ziluo and the others arrived in the town. The first thing they did was to find a good place to set up a stall and prepare to sell cakes. After everything was ready, Zishu said: "You all stay here and watch the stall, I will go to Liu's shopkeeper with my eldest sister to deliver rabbits, and then go to the embroidery shop to sell embroidery handkerchiefs." Zixuan, you have to take a good look at Zitao and Ah Luo here. โ
"Big brother, big sister, you should put a hundred hearts into it! I will definitely take a good look at them. โ
Soon after they left, the street slowly became lively. Ziluo and the others put out a few pieces of original cakes and a few pieces of red date cakes.
Soon the sweet smell of the cake was emitted, and many pedestrians came to see it. Finally, someone stepped forward and asked, "What kind of pastry are you?"
"This is our family's own cake, and we guarantee that you have never eaten such a delicious pastry anywhere else. If you don't believe it, you can try it, and if you are not satisfied, we will not charge money. Zixuan replied smartly. Clever he's now learned how to sell things.
When the visitor heard this, he couldn't help but be very curious about the taste of this cake, so he took a small piece of cake from Zixuan's hand. The cake was sweet and fluffy, and he wanted to have another piece after eating!
"Isn't it delicious, we didn't lie to you, do you want to buy some?" Zixuan knew that there was a play when he looked at him eating with relish.
"Then how do you sell this cake?"
"I'm not satisfied with you, uncle, our cake is very complicated and hard, and if there is a slight step wrong, the taste will not work, so we don't do much. If you want to pay a piece, it costs five cents. โ
Ziluo and the others cut the cakes into neat rectangles, and each one weighed about one or two (about 50 grams). This cake Ziluo is going to take the high-end route, so they set a relatively high price of five cents a piece.
When the visitor heard why it was so expensive, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Can it be cheaper?"
"Uncle, it's really not good. Or, for the sake of you being our first customer, if you buy enough twenty wen, we will give you a piece, how about it?" Zi Xuan thought for a while.
The person who came thought that the taste of this cake was indeed not bad, but it was more expensive, but it was okay to eat it once in a while, and thought of a few children in the family, so he said: "Okay, then give me a cake of twenty yuan." โ
"Okay, uncle, what kind of flavor do you want, we have the original flavor and the red date flavor, and you tasted the original flavor just now. โ
The uncle heard that there were other flavors, so he asked, "Then can I taste the red dates again?"
"Of course, no problem. Zixuan handed over a small piece of jujube-flavored cake as he spoke.
After tasting it, the visitor said, "Then let's have three pieces of original flavor and three pieces of red date flavor." โ
After the first business, although a few people came to ask for the price, they didn't buy it because they thought the price was too high.
Ziluo and the others are not in a hurry, they know that this price is indeed bought by relatively wealthy people. There is always no shortage of rich buyers in this world, so they still wait very patiently.
"You made this cake?" asked a young man who looked like a man.
"Yes, would you like to try it?" Zixuan replied.
