Chapter 019: I Knew Earlier

The moon cakes of mung bean paste and red bean paste cost eight cents a piece, and the salted egg yolk cost ten cents a piece.

As soon as this price was shouted, the people who originally came to see the mooncakes suddenly sighed.

"Wuren's only costs five cents a piece, and the people are bigger."

"Yes, your mooncakes, one bite at a time, even children don't think it's enough to stuff their teeth......"

"This has always been a penny for a penny, and things are expensive, and there is a reason why they are expensive." Su Yujin took a knife on the spot and cut the moon cakes into small pieces on the plate, "Try our Su Ji's moon cakes, and naturally you will know why the moon cakes with bigger ones are only sold for five cents." ”

The free tasting was delivered to the mouth, and naturally no one refused.

The onlookers each took a small piece and put it in their mouths and tasted it carefully.

The texture of the mooncake crust is extremely soft and glutinous, as delicate as the expensive pastries sold in the pastry shop, and it is much more delicious than those hard mooncake crusts with a slight "clattering" sound when you bite into it.

The filling of the bean paste is also sweet and delicate, occasionally with some graininess, but it is not abrupt, but because the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, the aftertaste is full.

It can be said that after the moon cake enters the mouth, even after swallowing, it is still endless, and I want to eat some more before I feel enjoyable.

Although there are free tastings, they are all people who live in the same county, and they don't look up and look down, and they can't wait to get involved with their relatives, and no one is embarrassed to take advantage of them in vain.

So driven by the delicacy and the gluttony in the stomach, someone has untied their purse and started to choose mooncakes.

"Five red bean paste, five mung bean paste."

"I want six green beans."

"Ten salted egg yolks!"

“……”

In front of the moon cake stall, it suddenly became lively.

As soon as I arrived for lunch, the mooncakes were sold cleanly.

Wormwood counted the money from today's sale, and the whole person was excited, "Girl, we sold one or two or five pieces of silver today, and we made a net profit of one or two silver." ”

"It's done." Su Yujin nodded.

It's not much, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

It adds up.

And this is just the beginning, when Wormwood and Mother Liu are not proficient, if they become proficient, and then let Frost Leaf and Qingkui and a few of them help, it will not be a problem to make two or three hundred mooncakes a day.

Thinking so, Su Yujin told Wormwood and Liu's mother to buy more cake molds for a few more months, then look for a mason on the street, and then temporarily build a bigger oven in Su Ji's backyard.

Wormwood got the order and hurriedly acted separately with Mother Liu.

The moon cake mold is here, it is wormwood to discuss, in order not to delay the business, the price has been doubled, but the requirements will be obtained tomorrow.

The mason was here, and Liu's mother also successfully found it from the street, so that he could start working in the afternoon.

On the afternoon of the second day, the noodles, wontons and cold skins in Su Ji were all sold out, and after the shop was cleaned up, Su Yujin led everyone to make moon cakes in the shop.

Wait until the second day, and then set up a stall at the door of Su Ji to sell.

Because the taste of this mooncake is really good, even if the price is indeed more expensive than that sold by others, the business is still very prosperous.

After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival, only once a year, rare days, it is not impossible to eat some good things, and moon cakes, that is, a festival ceremony, embellishment or something, can not buy too much, a year of luxury dozens of Wen, is also acceptable.

Business is booming, the production of moon cakes has increased, and wormwood and others are getting busier.

Su Yujin saw that everyone was working hard, so he only asked Liu's mother to buy some fresh ingredients and come back and cook for the big guy in person.

Chestnut chicken, do not need to add too much seasoning, just green onion and ginger cooking pot, soy sauce to enhance freshness, low heat and slow simmering enough heat, eat the chicken nuggets tender and soft, the whole chestnut shelled is soft and sweet, full of aftertaste.

Braised fish, the choice is specially eaten aquatic plants, relatively clean grass carp, the flower knife is changed evenly, the salt and seasonings marinated into the flavor, the thickness of the surface wrapped in the skin, the fried fish skin is crispy and fragrant, and the soup poured on the end is even more fresh and fragrant, and when you eat it to the end, even the soup on the plate is dipped in steamed buns by Qingkui and others.

Lotus leaf steamed pork, marinated pork belly slices, wrapped in fried glutinous rice ground into powder, wrapped in lotus leaves in the cage drawer steamed, open the lotus leaves when eating, rich meat fragrance, fresh lotus leaf fragrance, accompanied by a thick glutinous rice fragrance, make people smell intoxicated, eat a bite, the meat is full and juicy, fresh and tender fragrance......

Su Yujin even found a tailor from Buzhuang to come to the door, helped Qingkui and others measure the size, and ordered new winter clothes.

Although it is true that the work in the past few days is a little harder than before, the food is better, and there are new clothes to wear, Qingkui and the others are also very happy, and they work harder and harder.

Even when chatting at night before going to bed, I don't forget to sigh.

"If I knew that I could live such a good life if I was sold, I should have asked my aunt to sell me earlier."

It was Qing Kui who spoke.

My father and mother went early, because she was an only daughter, she had no brother and younger brother, and she could not inherit the family business, and all the houses and fields in the family were given to the uncle's family, but correspondingly, the uncle's family needed to raise her, help her prepare a good family affair, and prepare a dowry for her.

But the uncle's way of raising her family is not very good, the work assigned to her every day can never be done, and the three meals a day are also the worst, and one or two white flour steamed buns are eaten only during the New Year's holidays.

even saw that she looked rough because of her daily work, and it was not easy to talk about her family, so when she didn't have much dowry, she simply sold her to Renyazi.

Before she was sold, she heard other people in the village say that if she was sold, she could only go to those high-gate compounds to be subordinates, she couldn't eat enough, she couldn't wear warm clothes, she could only sleep in the stables at night, she worked hard every day, and she would be beaten and scolded at every turn, and if the master was unhappy, she would be beaten and beaten to death.

Qingkui was very scared at the time, and often worked harder and harder because of the aunt's sentence "If you don't do your job well, I will sell you".

Although life in the uncle's house is not easy, the uncle's family is limited to doing more work, being scolded more, and still not being beaten much, eating bran and vegetables, at least they can still eat enough.

But right now, it's clear that it's very different from what she imagined.

In the days when she was sold, she was full of food, she was very warm, the girl was good, and her life was really beautiful.

Qingkui was really glad that she took the initiative to stand up that day and fell into the girl's eyes.

"I don't want to think so, the main reason is that we are lucky to meet the girl, if we go to other people's homes, we will not have such a good fortune." Edelweiss replied.

Su Ji has a good business, and there are many guests on weekdays, so he will naturally chat about some gossip in the county town during dinner.
