Mrs. Liu nodded, "Open it and take a look!" ”

A smaller box on the side should contain something to eat.

Qingmei washed her hands and opened it lightly, and sure enough, there were small pastries inside.

Qingmei suddenly realized, "Just now Mrs. Derui said that this is a moon cake, I haven't taken it seriously, it turns out that it is not the big moon cake we usually eat, but a new one, small and sweet, no wonder Mrs. Derui took it out and gave it away." ”

Mrs. Liu nodded, reached out and put one on the tip of her nose and smelled it, "A sweet fragrance, there are two words red beans written on it, I like to eat red bean cake on weekdays, and today I will try this new style of red bean moon cake." ”

Mrs. Liu took a bite gently, and the sweet taste filled her mouth, and the comfortable taste made Mrs. Liu quite admired.

The filling in the middle is the red bean paste she likes, fragrant, rustling, and the sweetness is just right and not greasy.

"It tastes good." Mrs. Liu praised, "I see that there are different flavors in it, and I picked them out and sent some to the master in the front yard." ”

Qingmei responded, "Yes, ma'am!" ”

Mrs. Liu is more curious about Mrs. Drew, and hopes to have more contact.

Not only because of his political achievements with her husband, but also because she wanted to be friends with Mrs. Drey.

Let's say that after Liu Paner came out of the county office, she went straight to Gu's house.

As soon as he spoke to the porter, the shopkeeper of Delicious Lou Li, who was sitting in the waiting area, hurriedly stood up.

Shopkeeper Li was delighted when he saw Liu Paner's eyes, and stepped forward to salute, "Mrs. Derui, the new-style mooncakes you just sent to the delicious building, and you tasted two pieces of them, which are indeed better than the current mooncakes." Seeing that there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to buy it and put it away, make more, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, whether it is a gift or a sale, it is extremely good. ”

Liu Paner smiled when she heard this, "I want to sell the house to Shopkeeper Li, but even if you get the recipe, you won't have time to make new-style mooncakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Shopkeeper Li showed regret on his face, puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

Liu Paner replied: "The recipe is simple, and the preparation of raw materials is not difficult, the key is the oven for making moon cakes, which is quite special." Even if the oven is made today, it will take seven or eight days to dry. In this way, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion will not be awarded. ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was even more regretful, but soon Shopkeeper Li thought of another way, "Since the delicious building can't be made freshly, then the lady's house has a ready-made oven, you make more, I'll buy it for you, how about this?" ”

Liu Pan'er waited for this, nodded with a smile, "I can sell it to you, I guess Shopkeeper Li has already tasted it just now." I use real materials, and the method is quite complicated, and the price is inevitably a little more expensive. There's just an oven at home, and I don't do much! ”

Shopkeeper Li smiled, "I see that the moon cake is one pound and eight pieces, and Mrs. will make it for me to be the size that I sent to the delicious building today." I am responsible for the round-trip transportation, we have a special food box in the guard building, and there is no need for Mrs. to customize the food box, how about you see a pound of silver or two? ”

Liu Paner has calculated the cost, oil, salt, sugar, flour and other materials, the cost of one pound adds up to 200 Wen, plus labor, the cost of one pound is 300 Wen, and it is not bad to be able to sell one or two silver and a catty.

Liu Paner is not greedy, and she will sell the recipe to Shopkeeper Li later.

If the price is too high, the shopkeeper Li bought the recipe later, and after calculating the cost, he knew that she would ask for a high price.

As a frequent partner, such a move is not appropriate.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "This price is okay, we can still earn some gold and silver before the Mid-Autumn Festival." How much silver does Shopkeeper Li prepare to buy this recipe? ”

Shopkeeper Li pondered for a moment, and then replied, "How about thirty taels of silver?" ”

Liu Pan'er thought for a while, "Fifty taels of silver, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will personally go to the delicious building to guide you to make an oven." The oven can not only make moon cakes, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can change the shape of the moon cakes, which can be made into other baked pastries, and can also become the characteristics of the delicious building. I also come with a different improved version of the baked pastry that I usually eat, how about that? ”

With an oven and learning to make mooncakes, a slightly clever chef can get new pastries with a little improvement.

Even if Liu Paner doesn't say it, the chefs will be able to make it soon after they explore it themselves.

Since this is the case, Liu Paner automatically raised the price, and then did a very good job in after-sales.

Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment, then nodded, "A word is a decision, let's sign the contract later." ”

Liu Paner nodded, and then said to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper Li wants to buy moon cakes, but there are not many materials at home, and I still have to say hello to the old lady, so I have no time to buy all kinds of materials." I'll write a list, you buy these materials for me first, and send them back as soon as possible while it's still early, so that my sister-in-law can prepare them in advance at home. When the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake business is done, I'll go back and settle the account later. ”

Shopkeeper Li gladly accepted, this is a very good business opportunity, the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon reunion, is a very good lottery.

In addition, there are new moon cakes, which will inevitably become popular in Cuiyang County.

Jiangnan is rich, there are many rich people, there is no shortage of silver, what is lacking is novelty and good luck.

When Shopkeeper Li left and went to buy raw materials, Liu Paner went down to see Mrs. Jia under the guidance of the servants.

Knowing that Liu Pan'er personally came to the door to deliver the festival gift, Mrs. Gu smiled and was quite happy, "Pan'er hurry up and come over and play mahjong with me!" ”

Liu Paner put down the gift and walked over, one of the maids got up and replaced Liu Paner to sit on.

Chatting while playing mahjong, the relationship was suddenly closer.

After playing a few rounds of mahjong, it was just time for lunch, and I accompanied Mrs. Gu to have lunch together.

After eating, Old Madam Gu didn't want to move anymore and leaned on the couch.

Liu Pan'er saw that Old Madam Gu was getting more and more white and fat, and it was also very bad for her body to go on like this.

So Liu Paner said with a smile: "It is said that the Gu family garden is full of flowers and colorful, but I haven't seen it yet!" Old lady, you should open my eyes and walk with me in the garden! ”

Old Madam Gu smiled when she heard this, "Let me show you the garden is fake, you want my old lady to get up and take a walk!" ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "The old lady guessed and knew what I was thinking." As the saying goes, take a walk after a meal and live to ninety-nine. If you are in good health, you will be able to live a long life. Qin sent Gu to the people, the people of the world, loyal to His Majesty, and the people. Such a good official will inevitably be a very popular minister in the future. The old lady cultivated such an excellent Master Gu will inevitably become the object of praise from the world. Doesn't the old lady yearn for that kind of glory? Master Gu is handsome and graceful, and he will definitely be able to find a beautiful woman, give birth to a noble son early, and the old lady will be in the same house for four generations, and she will be happy, such a picture is even more enviable. ”
