Chapter 16 Delicious Pastries
"Talent cake, this name is good, and the appearance is exquisite, I have to buy a few today and give them to the children at home to taste, to see if I can become a big talent in the story."
"Zhou Laosan, don't dream, those two boys in your family are scolded by Mr. every day when they study, and they have become great talents."
"Even if you don't become a great talent, not like in the story, it's my blessing to be a child."
Nanding Town is not big, and the relationship between the people in the town is very good, and there are a lot of jokes and jokes with each other.
At first, they just wanted to see a novelty when they saw this pastry, after all, the patterns of the street stalls have not changed for many years, and the taste has not changed much, even if it is delicious, it is a little tired.
Now that it's fresh, I naturally want to come and see it, and I have a lot of chatting when I go back, and many of them are so looking at fresh ideas, but then I listened to the story behind it, and everyone felt that the intention was also very good, and I wanted to bring back a few to try it.
It's just that at the moment, I only know that this is not bad, and I don't know the price, so someone asked:
"How much does this cost? Who's in charge of this stall? ”
Originally, Concubine Rou also wanted to come out to set up a stall, but her appearance was too outstanding, even if she didn't use powder, it was difficult to hide her appearance, she really didn't want to be eye-catching, so in the end, Concubine Rou still gave up, just helped Li start steaming pastries from the morning.
Yao didn't come out either, because she was so thin-skinned, and her face turned red with shame when she thought about going out, not to mention that she might have to shout to solicit customers when setting up a stall.
In the end, it was the Li family and the second master Qi who were smiling and greeting the group of people who were spreading the money, only to hear them point to the pastries and say:
"These flavors are a three-dollar dollar, and if you buy more, you can give them away, which is also the discount we gave on the first day."
After hearing this price, some people began to retreat, they usually save their lives, and a bowl of soy milk fritters is only three cents, but now a pastry is at such a price.
Some people also want to bargain, only to listen to them say in twos and threes:
"This price is a bit expensive, seeing that this pastry is not as big as the palm of my hand, can it be cheaper? We all bought them back and tried them, and we will definitely come back to buy them again when they taste good. ”
"Yes, yes, it's a bit expensive, it looks like the price of pastries in the provincial capital, although it is more delicate, but here is only in Nanding Town."
Everyone's words went towards Second Master Qi and the Li family, who were originally the old lady of Lord Houmen, and they were really not very good at this kind of frequent bargaining.
So for a while, the faces of the two of them were a little entangled, it is definitely impossible to say that the price reduction is definitely impossible, and the formulation of this price is also determined by them after several discussions and comparisons.
Because of the pursuit of dense and refreshing taste, so they use very good materials, plus some investment in the early stage of the mold, it can only be regarded as a small profit, if it is cheaper, it is basically a loss-making business.
Second Master Qi and Li didn't speak for a while, everyone looked at the two of them blushing a little, and they knew that they were easy to talk, and they looked at each other for a while, and they even talked about it word by word.
At this moment, I saw a little girl in a pink shirt with two bows tied on her head squeezing in, smiling at them and saying:
"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, everyone only sees our expensive money, but we use ten percent of the good materials for this material.
This is not only good for hunger, but also good for the body, and this mold pattern is not only in Nanding Town, but also unique in the provincial capital.
What's more, the meaning behind this is also good, after eating this pastry, I wish you all talents. ”
Qi Zhenzhen was born cute, and now a series of words came out with her crisp voice, which made everyone feel a little funny in their hearts.
Such a small child, but such an adult talking style, is indeed very interesting, so some people who are not so bad took out the money to buy a few yuan.
Qi Zhenzhen happily responded one by one, and then Qi Zhenzhen packed it while motioning to Qi Erye and the Li family to collect the money.
And those who originally wanted to buy but didn't buy it were still a little hesitant, but after listening to Qi Zhenzhen's words, they also made up their minds to buy a few yuan, which is not expensive, but it may not be so affordable compared to those who are large and cheap.
But after all, this thing is fresh and exquisitely made, they usually can't eat it if they want to, and they just try it occasionally, and it's not a meal every day, so it's no problem to buy a few, so everyone has taken action:
"Get me six too."
"I want it too, I don't want any other flavors, just that pink one."
"Well, it's delicious, it tastes soft and sweet, and there are sandwiches in it, ah! And the fruit, it's the taste of nuts, get me a few more. ”
The few people who originally disliked expensive people are a little really fragrant now......
Originally, some adults bought it because they wanted to go back and make their children happy, but looking at the sweetness of the people who bought it earlier, they couldn't help but take out one and taste it.
Then somehow, I ate a few pastries in a while, and I only felt that it was refreshing and sweet, and my mouth was full of a faint fragrance, which really made people feel a little happy.
It's much more delicious than the hard and dry dim sum you usually eat.
So they wanted to buy some more to take home, pastries are better than normal food, and they can buy them and eat them slowly.
But helplessly, some people who were still looking just now saw that the people in front of them were eating so sweetly, and they also knew that the taste of the pastry must be very good, so there were many more people in line than just now.
They could only look ahead in a long line, fearing that the pastries would be sold out before them.
This situation was originally in Qi Zhenzhen's expectations, and although she was happy, she was not particularly surprised. Only Second Master Qi and the Li family were very happy and excited, they were worried that the pastries would not be sold last night, which would make Qi Zhenzhen sad.
These days of intimacy, coupled with the absence of his biological daughter Qi Min'er, the Li family usually likes Qi Zhenzhen, and now they have a little more empathy.
And Qi Zhenzhen's intelligence and cleverness really brought her a lot of fun, so Li really couldn't bear to make Qi Zhenzhen sad.
Not to mention Second Master Qi, Third Master Qi is his younger brother.
At the beginning, Uncle Qi was born several years earlier than them, but the age difference between Second Master Qi and Third Master Qi was not much, and the two grew up together.
Speaking of which, in fact, the second master of Qi is not very favored as the son of the middle, but it is easy to be ignored, and the eldest son of the eldest son is valued by the eldest son and wants him to inherit the title of the Marquis of Mingyuan.
And Mrs. Qi dotes on her young son, likes him to say good things to make herself happy, Qi Second Master was always left out when he was young, but fortunately, Qi Third Master will often comfort him, and the relationship between the two was very close at that time.
Later, when they got older, Master Qi invited Mr. to them, and the second master of Qi showed his talent in the imperial examination, while the third master of Qi gradually indulged in beauty, and the two brothers gradually drifted apart.
But facing Qi Zhenzhen, the eldest daughter of Qi Sanye, Qi Erye still likes it very much.
Now that business is good, they are happy for Qi Zhenzhen and happy for themselves.
The two cooperated tacitly to collect money, and they didn't seem to have any concept of money when they were in the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion before, but now even if it was only a few pennies, they all felt a little more settled in their hearts when they heard the sound of money.
Although there are still some previous savings in hand, to be honest, it is very panicked to sit on the empty mountain for a long time, and now it is even more important to go to the west, and I don't know what kind of situation I have to face on the road, it is always much more convenient to have such a craft with me.
In just half an hour, all these pastries were sold out, because it was the first day they didn't dare to make much, and it was only about two-thirds of the original amount, but it was sold quickly.
Some of the people at the back of the queue were sorry that they didn't buy it, and several waves of people ran to the stalls and asked them what time they would start selling tomorrow, and then asked them to do a little more.
Several people replied with a smile one by one, estimating that it should be half a month to set up a stall here, and some people paid a deposit directly.
They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to grab it if they came late tomorrow, so they directly booked it in advance, after all, seeing that Qi Erye and the Li family were both figures with heads and faces, they must not be able to throw away such a good business for a few dollars, so they were not very worried about giving money.
That night, Second Master Qi, Li and Concubine Rou all gathered in Yao's room, Qi Zhenzhen saw that everyone had gathered, and hurriedly opened the cloth bag containing copper coins, only to hear a loud noise, and the money was all scattered on the table.
To tell the truth, many of them have never used copper wire, most of them use more silver, but now looking at this copper coin, they only feel that everyone's heart is very happy, which they have earned by their own labor.
Everyone saw this with a shallow smile on their faces, Qi Zhenzhen stringed the money according to the practice of this era, and finally summed up a total of three and sixteen yuan, only to hear the little person's voice say crisply:
"The money in this has everyone's credit, so I think that in the future, in addition to leaving some money to make the capital of the pastry shop, the rest of the money will be divided among everyone according to everyone's efforts."
Hearing her words, it was several people who opened their mouths to refuse, and Concubine Rou and Li spoke at the same time, and in the end, it was Li who asked Concubine Rou to speak first, only to hear her say aloud:
"I don't have to give me my money, I'll ask for any expenses in the future, and to be honest, I didn't have any habit of saving money before, so it's better to put it together."
At the same time, Li said:
"Yes, I think so too, and let's all go to the west, there is an indispensable pastry business along the way, and it is troublesome to divide it so clearly, it is better to write down the accounts first, and then buy the shop steadily, otherwise it will take a lot of work every day."
Seeing that everyone was planning like this, Qi Zhenzhen had no choice but to respond, and in the end, it was decided that the Li family would take the money.
She was originally a collector of money, and she has always been a careful one, so this money must be safe in her place.
