Chapter 40 Eight Taels of Silver
At this time, the people of the Ji family will smile and say: "We are all good soybean noodles, brown sugar glutinous rice, this food is good for the elderly and children." ”
Many people only eat this thing during the New Year's holidays, and when they heard that they could eat it for ten cents, they hesitated, but they all cheered one by one.
"Bring me two, remember to wrap more brown sugar."
"I'll have two too."
When they ate it in their mouths, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect this cake to be so delicious, fragrant, glutinous and chewy, and mixed with the sweet taste of brown sugar, so that the croppers who have no taste in their mouths all year round don't like it much.
"Can you trade this for food?" Someone asked.
Mrs. Ji immediately said yes, and then said the rules of exchange.
Some people responded immediately.
"Then fill me with four more, and I'll take them back to my mother and daughter-in-law to taste."
"Fill me with two more! Be sure to get me more brown sugar, and more soybean flour. ”
"Okay! Take it! ”
The Ji family was very busy outside, and even Su Xiu'er, who had been helping to make cakes on the side, came up to pack them, and they were still too busy.
The newly made plate of cakes was sold cleanly, and these people left unsatisfied.
At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Ji was happy and arranged two cakes for everyone.
The cake was white and chubby before the wrapping, looking at the soft and glutinous, Ji Miaomiao was still a little baby, and she had been breastfeeding, and she felt that there was no taste in her mouth. Staring at the white and fat cake, don't mention the gluttony, saliva flowed down.
Mrs. Ji counted the money sold today, and was very happy: "We sold three hundred wen today!" ”
The family knew that there was a lot of money to sell today, but they didn't know that they were selling so much, today was just selling a plate of cakes, and they used a pound of glutinous rice when they were counted.
Even if brown sugar and soybean flour are added, the cost will not exceed 60 wen at most.
I was excited right now.
"Mother! This cake is a good thing! ”
Mrs. Ji was so complacent that she nodded and said, "That's not it, this cake has been made since I was a child, and it hasn't been broken for so long, so it can be seen that the taste is very good." ”
She had another plan in mind.
Seeing that the seedlings were slowly growing in the self-reserved land opened around here, the vegetables in it were originally intended to be sold in the county town.
Now that the people in this village seem to be quite open to food, she has a new idea to make a living.
You can also make some snacks out of this dish.
It's just that this matter is far away, and now it's only serious to do a good job of beating the cake.
Mrs. Ji has a lot of calculations in her heart, the village chief's daughter-in-law has not yet given birth, and it will take half a month to look like this.
If you can do a good job in the business over there, you can take some work from them and give the village chief's family some benefits, and the family can save a lot of money.
He couldn't help but think in her heart, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her precious granddaughter staring at the cake in the bowl and drooling, and immediately smiled, reached out and took the little granddaughter over, and touched her nose:
"Miao girl wants to eat this cake? The little girl hasn't grown her teeth, so let's eat milk obediently now, and when you grow up, you can eat as much milk as you want. ”
Ji Miaomiao was completely unconscious and drooling, and when she heard Mrs. Ji say this, a group of people in the family looked at her funny, and immediately buried their faces in Mrs. Ji's arms shyly.
Mrs. Ji was suddenly overjoyed: "You are really grandma's pistachio." ”
…
The Ji family has a goal, and they are quite motivated. Wake up early the next morning.
Ye Qiuyun saw that her husband got up, the sky was still slightly bright, and she rubbed her body and wanted to get up, just at this time, Ji Miaomiao, who was asleep, unconsciously waved her fleshy hand, and Ji Liangqing hurriedly stopped his daughter-in-law when he saw this:
"I'll just get up, you can take our girl to sleep first."
He also feels sorry for his daughter, this little milk baby just wants to sleep more, if he wakes her up, it will be his daughter who will be uncomfortable at that time.
Ye Qiuyun also had to sleep.
When she got up with her daughter at dawn, they had already prepared for the cake, just waiting for the cake to be cooked.
What the village chief wants is to send it over tomorrow, and some of the cakes made today will be sold. Some of it is saved.
With yesterday's experience, everyone did it much faster, and it didn't take long to do a lot.
Mrs. Ji asked Ji Laosan to carry a plate of cakes to the village chief's daughter-in-law, Ji Laosan's legs were fast, and he sent it over a few times, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was thinking about eating cakes.
Seeing that it was sent here, not to mention how happy it was, the village chief's daughter-in-law also took note of this love in her heart when she saw it, and decided to go over there to raise the price for them.
The old and young in the village are also very popular, and at the end of the day, the Ji family not only sold nearly 400 yuan, but also made a cake for the thirty banquets that will be sent away tomorrow, and waited to go to the village chief's house early in the morning.
And in the evening, the Ji family opened the jar for making koji and looked at it, and Ji Laoer, who had experience in making local wine, smelled the smell wafting out, and suddenly said:
"It smells like good wine! If you use it to make sake, the sake will be delicious. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was very happy.
It's just that this koji is still in a hurry, and it will take about two days.
Everyone is now busy with the cake making again, so they will put it on hold for the time being, but they learned that the things they make at home are thriving, and the Ji family is very down-to-earth.
Ji Miaomiao's heart is also steady.
…
The next day, Mrs. Ji and Ji Liangqing took the cake and followed the village chief's daughter-in-law to her mother's house to hold a banquet and negotiate the price in person.
The family is really magnificent, built four very magnificent blue brick houses, surrounded by a courtyard house, and the word "happiness" has been pasted around it, obviously about to pick up the bride.
The village chief's daughter-in-law obviously knew the family, and when she went in, she greeted a kind-looking old woman, and when the greetings were almost over, she pointed to Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji behind her, explaining the intention of today's visit.
"Last time, you said let me go back and want to order new pastries, but you know that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and this body is not good, so I asked other skillful people in our village to make some dim sum, you see if it fits the taste, I eat it very well, I heard that this is called beating cakes."
The old woman nodded, reached out and took a piece, and her eyes lit up after eating, and she nodded:
"This pastry tastes good and tastes sweet and glutinous. I'll take this cake, so let's give eight taels of silver, what do you think? ”
Eight taels of silver!
Mrs. Ji was stunned, thinking that she would give four taels of silver at most, and their raw materials only cost two taels of silver.
I didn't expect this family to be so generous, it was eight taels of silver.
She nodded immediately, and when she returned home, she was still dizzy.
