Mama Rong can be described as versatile, and the next day she made them mooncakes with two fillings.

Bean paste mooncakes and salted egg yolk mooncakes.

Yan Yu looked at the moon cake that looked like a baked cake and fell into deep thought.

Li Xuemei was very determined: "You are probably rare, your father and I both ate this kind of food when we were children, don't look ordinary, the taste is the same, I don't believe you taste it." ”

Yan Yu took a bite, the bean paste was sweet but not greasy, the salted egg yolk was salty and fragrant, and the crust was thin and crispy.

To make such delicious mooncakes with limited materials, except for Mama Rong, I think no one can do it.

Yan Yu felt more and more reliable about selling moon cakes.

Such delicious moon cakes, such a rough appearance, a little aggrieved!

Uncle Qi is not there, how to solve the problem of mold?

Yan Yu's gaze unexpectedly fell on the cat who was lying on the side of the door and stretching her waist.

Smiled wickedly.

As soon as Li Xuemei saw it, she knew what she had in mind.

"Your uncle is at home, how can you explain to him when you get a mooncake mold?"

"Just be rough." Yan Yu didn't care: "Let's just say that my father has nothing to cut with a knife, so he wants a circle, and he doesn't fix those patterns and characters." ”

Li Xuemei thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to have only one circle.

Yan Yu quickly found a piece of material of the right size from Uncle Qi's wood and asked the cat to cut a circle for her.

Then hollow out the middle part, of course, deliberately shoddy is necessary.

The finished product appeared quickly.

Li Xuemei: ......

Yan Yu: ......

It looks good on the outside, but it's too rough on the inside, and the moon cakes made of such molds are afraid that no one wants to buy them.

"Little two."

Hearing the uncle calling her in the courtyard, Yan Yu had an idea and took the mold out of the kitchen.

"Uncle, look at this." She gags the uncle's mouth at the right time.

This time is the time when the uncle is going to give them a lesson.

Thinking that she hadn't arrived for a long time, the uncle came looking for her.

"Want to make mooncakes?" Yan Huaiwen took it and saw the uneven mold inside, and the corners of his mouth twitched invisibly.

"Dad made it, I went out before I made it, uncle, the moon cakes made by Rong Niangzi are delicious, let's make more and sell them, they will definitely sell for a lot of money."

Yan Huaiwen smiled knowingly, Xiao Er's love for money is really like Tianyou.

"Since it is done by Mrs. Rong, how can you sell it at will." He immediately refused, and said: "It's okay to eat at home, if Mrs. Rong wants to make some money with this, you can allow her a few days off." ”

Yan Yu: ......

Forget about this stubble.

In the eyes of the uncle, Mama Rong is a hired helper.

The craft of making moon cakes can be profitable, but it should not be profitable for the Yan family.

Yan Yu asked innocently: "The materials are out of our family, and I still have my mother and eldest sister will help, can we sell together in partnership?" Just like my father and Uncle Qi. ”

Yan Huaiwen: Sometimes it's not a good thing for children to know too much.

"You will calculate it yourself, remove the capital, and then share the profit with Rong Niangzi, how much is left?

If the mooncakes can't be sold, you will have to pay for them. ”

This kind of talk can deceive the child, but it can't fool her.

She showed her millet teeth and smiled brightly: "Then uncle, you agreed, I will go and tell my mother and Rong Niangzi that they ......."

Without waiting for the uncle to react, Yan Yu ran back to the kitchen to tell the mother and Rong Mama the good news, and then flew to the study like a little swallow to inform the eldest sister.

The eldest girl was honest, and when she heard that her father had agreed to sell moon cakes, she hurriedly packed up her textbooks and other things, and rushed to the kitchen to help.

Yan Huaiwen: ......

Forget it, since they want to do it, they can do it.

He looked at the mold in his hand, found a stone to take advantage of, rinsed it, and went back to the study.

Grind uneven places little by little with stones......

"Uncle is right, the first time we go to sell mooncakes, I'm afraid that people won't recognize it and won't buy us." Yan Yu's eyes rolled and he had an idea again.

She picked out two bean pastes and two salted egg yolks from the mooncakes made by Mama Rong and cut them into small pieces.

It was packed on a plate, and I didn't forget to cover it with a curtain.

"Mother, eldest sister, you guys are busy first, I'll go and taste our mooncakes for the villagers."

Before the eldest girl could react, her sister went out.

"Auntie, Rong Niangzi's mooncakes are well done, we will definitely be able to sell them." What the big girl actually wants to say is that she doesn't need to let the people in the village help taste it, she has just eaten it, and it is obviously very delicious.

Li Xuemei: "Leave her alone, let's dig the egg yolk first." ”

Her daughter's careful thinking was very easy to guess, and she had to sell it in the village first.

That's how Yan Yu intended.

Give the people in the village a taste first, and if you think it's good, you will pay lip service.

It's called pre-sale.

In this way, they can make it in batches every day, and there will be no backlog and waste.

As for the cost that the uncle said, hehe, it's all in her heart.

Moon cakes are a seasonal food, and if you sell less, you can't meet the labor, and if you sell more, you're afraid that no one will buy it, so how to set the price is very important.

Yan Yu felt that if he wanted to do a good job in the mooncake business in the past few days, he was afraid that he would have to go to Yongning.

One is to see how much mooncakes are sold in Yongning City, and the other is to buy some paper for mooncakes.

It's not good to have nothing, just sell it to others, and then what's going on.

After walking half a circle in the village, Yan Yu's mooncake tasting did not last until the end of the journey.

Selling to the villagers, she naturally won't shout a high price, just add some to the cost.

Bean paste moon cakes are four texts, salted egg yolk moon cakes are five texts, on blocks, buy a few pieces.

A few orders were quickly harvested.

Yan Yu returned home happily.

As soon as she entered the door, she was followed by a person who bought mooncakes.

The people in the village don't pay attention to those virtual ones, like the moon cakes that are baked cakes, they think they are very good, no matter what they are, they are delicious.

Yan Yu's mooncake business opened immediately.

The bean paste mooncakes are sold in a row, and the salted egg yolk is worse, so most of the people who come to buy it take a piece back to taste fresh for their families.

Yan Yu grinned the whole time to collect money and take moon cakes to others.

When the mooncakes made by Mama Rong were sold out, she turned around and saw the uncle who stood in the yard for an unknown amount of time.

"Hello uncle, there are a lot of copper plates!" She patted the money bag, and the copper plate inside rattled.

Yan Huaiwen nodded and stuffed the things in his hand into her.

"I'll go out."

Yan Yu looked at the mooncake mold in his hand.

Blinked, blinked.

"Mother, big girl, Rong Niangzi, look, the uncle made a mold for us!"

I saw that the rough moon cake mold was not only polished smooth on the inside, but also engraved a few words - full moon reunion.

Mama Rong immediately made the bean paste, wrapped it in a circle with a pie crust, and printed it in the mold.

While!

When the mold is buckled on the panel, it is uncovered at once.

Five large clear letters emerge on it.

Mama Rong was very satisfied and made a lot of it in a row.

When the new mooncakes are baked.

The skin of the brushed egg wash has a slightly burnt color, and the handwriting is becoming clearer and clearer, compared with the previous baked cake sample, it is simply reborn.

300

Yan Huaiwen went out, found the village elders at the big stone, and explained his thoughts and ideas.

I have the full support of several old men.

Immediately, he found Master Lu and made changes to the Arrow Tower again.

Master Lu patiently listened to their thoughts, went through a few circles in his mind, drew on the ground with stones for a while, got up and said, "I probably understand your thoughts, Yan Hushu means that the stairs inside this arrow tower should be made hollow, and a hanging basket should be installed on top to facilitate the transportation of goods up and down. ”

Yan Huaiwen added: "If necessary, it can also transport people. ”

"This can be done, but the size of this arrow tower, I'm afraid it will be bigger than the original one, and the cellar mentioned before should also be retained, then it can't be as originally discussed, I suggest that this cellar be made smaller, like the cellar of the Yan family, connected to each other, which not only meets your requirements, but also does not affect the stability of the arrow tower."

"If we start construction now, when will it be finished?" Village Chief Luo asked anxiously.

Master Lu: ......

It was you who said before that it would be okay for these days, but now it is you who will start the work immediately.

"If we have enough manpower, we can complete it within a month." Master Lu gave an estimate.

"Then I'll gather men early tomorrow morning." Village Chief Luo was very happy, and he just did what he said.

Master Lu returned to Qi's house without knowing what to do and continued to work.

"Village chief, there's one more thing." Yan Huaiwen spoke again: "To build an arrow tower and build a high wall in the village, a large number of people are needed, even if the people in the village are capable, there are some tasks that only a few people can complete. ”

Old Song Tou said kindly: "No, only Qi Wu is the only one in the village who can beat wood, and others can only stare at each other if they want to help, and do some work of moving and lifting." ”

"Xiucaigong, do you have any ideas?" Village Chief Luo asked.

Yan Huaiwen said: "My idea is that I might as well learn from the actions of absorbing displaced people in various cities, and if you have a skill, you can invite them and even their families to settle in the village."

We help them clear the wasteland, build houses, settle down, and let them help us solve problems. ”

Uncle Hu looked around cautiously: "It's good for us to use bamboo crossbows, do we have to make iron arrowheads?" ”

It turned out that Yan Huaiwen had just found them and said that he was going to restart the bamboo crossbow.

He also mentioned that he wanted to further upgrade the power of the bamboo crossbow by replacing ordinary bamboo arrows with iron arrows.

"I have checked the documents stored in Huju, according to the records on it, Beirong is often selected after the autumn harvest, and in the early winter, it is the time when the people in Guanzhou have not long harvested and have abundant grain reserves.

When the weather gets cooler, in order to keep warm, the fur on their bodies will be added, ordinary bamboo arrows and wooden arrows cannot be pierced at all, and only sharp iron weapons can hurt the enemy. ”

The old man of the village understood, and became worried.

Village Chief Luo said worriedly: "Can ...... Privately cast iron is a felony. ”

"The situation in Guanzhou is different from other big mansions, the swords and soldiers can be hidden in the people, the management of iron tools is not so strict, and there are also rules to follow, our village, it is still possible to support one or two hunting families."

Orions can hold their bows and weapons in the open, including crossbows made of iron.

"As for the blacksmith, among the ordinary people, there are not no people who are not among the craftsmen, but they need to be carefully investigated, not in a day or two."

Yan Huaiwen took out a drawing and laid it out on the big stone.

"This is the drawing of the waterwheel, it takes a skilled carpenter to reproduce this thing, and the stone grinding can be connected below, saving time and effort."

All wooden parts need to be replaced year by year, and if the key points in the middle are replaced with iron, the service life can be greatly extended. ”

"Carpenter, blacksmith, stonemason......" Old Song Tou reacted quickly, and quickly thought of a good idea: "There are many victims in Gufeng, let's just go to a few boys, let them inquire more, if they meet these skilled people, they will pull people to our village!" ”

Several old men were very excited.

Xiucai Gong even plans to use the bamboo crossbow again, so it can be seen that the tiger is not very comforting in this border city!

They had been prepared for a long time, especially after being touched into the village from the mountains by the six Beijung.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to mention the arrow tower, and I would have promised to fence the village with a high wall, and I have always promised to agree......

It's all for the whole village!

Iron arrows have to be used, waterwheels and water mills they want to use, and they will actively respond to everything for the better of the village.

"Then tomorrow, let someone go and bring a letter to Yan Er and them." Village Chief Luo made the final decision.

Introduce a talent plan and decide on this.

"When will you come back when you leave?" Yan Huaiwen asked softly.

Elder Luo Village said honestly: "It's not a fixed time, but before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will definitely be able to come back, and our village is going to hold a flowing water banquet, and those boys are worried." ”

Yan Huaiwen looked at the sky, put away the drawings, and went to Liang's house again.

Liang Manshan was dressed in homely clothes and was in the yard with stucco.

The recipe given by the Yan family has now become the first choice for people in the village to build houses.

There is a stronger stucco, who still uses clay clay.

The Liang family is not conspicuous, and it never shows its wealth.

But once you build a house, it still shows that it is different from other people's homes.

Although they didn't build several brick and stone houses like the Yan family and the Qi family, they still found someone to build the house.

But when it comes to the number of bricks bought, in addition to these two is his family.

Old man Liang is very low-key and buys in batches.

There are only him and Liang Feng in the family, one old and one young, and they can't do heavy work, so they spend money to find men from the village to help.

Don't work all day, don't care about food, dig the foundation today, build the courtyard wall tomorrow, and build the stove the day after tomorrow......

A hammer in the east and a stick in the west, as if there was no plan, thinking of what to do.

But as time went by, looking at the Liang family, the main house was basically formed, and even the tiles were bought, so I waited for Master Lu to spare time to put tiles on his house.

Until Liang Manshan returned home, the biggest job left in the family was to build a wall.

Liang Manshan Liang Tongsheng tried to build it himself after seeing how Master Lu and them worked.

Not to mention, it's pretty good.

Liang Fengnian took advantage of the work in the Boy Scouts to collect a lot of cement bricks that were not very good-looking.

Don't look at these cement bricks are not very smooth, but compared with angular stones, they are much easier to use.

The two of them have been busy since yesterday, and they have built a wall, and there are still two sides left, and they are getting more and more familiar, and they are cooperating with each other.

As soon as Yan Huaiwen entered the courtyard, Liang Manshan hurriedly put down the work in his hand and had to wash his hands to entertain guests.

He knew that Yan Huaiwen must have something to say.

Yan Huaiwen asked him not to stop, and let Liang Manshan listen while busy.
