"Miss Xia, you're here!"

As soon as he opened the courtyard door and saw Xia Ning's figure, Li San's face suddenly smiled.

"Please come in, I've been looking forward to your arrival in the morning."

Xia Ning walked into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Looking at your happy appearance, you must have done a good business recently, right?" ”

"Thanks to you, I have earned a sum of money." Li San did not hide his deception, and expressed his good mood very frankly.

"That's good, it looks like it won't be long before I call Boss Li." Xia Ning smiled and complimented the other party.

"Hahaha~ I borrowed your auspicious words!"

Li San instantly opened his mind and laughed, he is indeed full of expectations and confidence in the coming days, although the scale of the business is not large now, but he believes that it will not be long before the business he runs will become bigger and bigger.

Let's just say that now, he has developed his two good brothers to do downline, and let them receive the made rice balls to sell in the county next door, and the sales are also very prosperous.

Especially yesterday's income, it is simply several times that of weekdays, because today is the 15th Lantern Festival of the Lunar New Year, and they have done enough publicity in the streets and alleys before, so everyone knows that eating glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival can make a good fortune, so yesterday's business will be so hot.

After a few people entered the hall, Li San enthusiastically poured tea and served melons and fruits for a few people, "Come on, come on, you're welcome, I bought this dim sum from Huang Ji, the county seat, you all try it." ”

Seeing this, Xia Ning obediently picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite slowly, to be honest, she really rarely eats snacks in this era, because the porcelain pot space contains a lot of her favorite snacks, and she is not short of food on weekdays, so she rarely buys food in this era.

"Honey osmanthus cake?"

After Xia Ning tasted it, she instantly named the name of the pastry, although the appearance can be made into many shapes, but the inner taste can't deceive people.

And the taste of this pastry is very familiar, she has eaten similar flavored pastries.

"I didn't expect Miss Xia to be so good at eating, so I knew the name of this dim sum after taking a bite, admire and admire!" Li San was slightly surprised, he was about to introduce this dim sum, but he didn't expect to be named by the other party.

Xia Ning smiled, "I'm a glutton, and I eat a lot of things on weekdays, so I can roughly guess one or two, this dim sum is very expensive in the county?" ”

In addition to writing in her life, there are only two hobbies left, growing vegetables and cooking, and she has some experience in eating.

If it is to do business, then she will inevitably choose to start eating, but things in the village are not busy and smooth at present, if she doesn't have too much energy and time now, she will definitely go to the county to create a career.

Li San smacked his tongue, "It's a time-honored store in Cangshan County, ordinary people can't afford to eat it, one pound costs two taels of silver, and a piece of osmanthus cake costs ten copper plates, all of which are enough to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he made a little silver during the Chinese New Year, he would be reluctant to buy such an expensive dim sum to eat, a piece of pastry is small and not full, it is purely stupid and has a lot of money.

Xia Ning nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that this pastry business is very profitable~"

She has always known that in ancient times, materials were scarce, because it was not easy to obtain ingredients for production, one was the problem of preservation and processing, and the other was the obstacle of transportation.

Secondly, there is one of the biggest reasons, that is, the secret recipes are all inherited, and they are only pinched in the hands of a very small number of people, and there is no way to circulate them in terms of craftsmanship.

Therefore, these things with craftsmanship and secret recipes will seem so precious in the eyes of the world.

She knew that many things were sold expensive in ancient times, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big gap, and a piece of egg-sized pastry would cost ten cents, which would be a proper profiteering.

You must know that a fist-sized vegetable bag is only two cents, and this pastry is completely a luxury food that only rich and noble families can afford.

Thinking of this, she felt a little nervous in her heart, and she also wanted to open a pastry shop!

How profitable!

And she has no troubles and worries about buying raw materials at all, and the raw materials she purchases from modern times are more cost-effective based on the prices of the two worlds.

In other words, the cost she paid was a few tiers lower than that of their local pastry shop.

"What? Is Miss Xia interested in the pastry business? To be honest, the cost of this business is a bit high, and if you don't have a point, supply will be a big problem. ”

Seeing the interested look on Xia Ning's face, Li San couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade that this dim sum shop involved scarce ingredients, such as sugar, flour, eggs, peanuts and red dates, and so on.

Isn't this a rare commodity?

If you don't have a strong relationship background, you can't do this business.

Besides, making dim sum is different from daily cooking, and you can always make a little bit of it with your cooking experience or seasonings, but you can't be blinded by the craftsmanship of dim sum.

Even if he is a layman, he knows that the craftsmanship of making dim sum is very particular, each production step cannot be changed randomly, and the proportion of materials used is also very meticulous, but if there is a little error, the taste will be different.

So if you don't have a secret recipe, this pastry business is not going to be easy.

Hearing this, Xia Ning smiled and asked, "Do you think I will be short of supplies?" ”

"Oops! Look at my brain, how did I forget this? ”

Li Sanhou reacted after realizing that the aunt in front of him was a small master who was not short of supplies.

Take the glutinous rice ball business they are cooperating with now, aren't they all scarce raw materials, and the door in this person's hands is no worse than those merchants in the county.

If she has a stable purchase channel, then she can give it a try.

"Listen to what this means, Miss Xia, do you still have a recipe for making pastries in your hand?"

Li San instantly came back to his senses, his expression was very surprised, it seemed that the other party had no worries about the formula at all, and he looked confident, 'I can do it as long as I want'.

How many good things do this aunt still have in her hands?

I taught myself how to make dumplings before, and now I am not at all surprised by the secret recipe for dim sum, looking at her like this, he has a feeling that the other party is holding countless secret recipes in his hands.

This secret recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, either to apprentices or to future generations, and it is completely pinched to death, and it will not leak out at all, and it is a great luck to get a secret recipe.

Where did she get so many secret recipes to know?

Xia Ning nodded without hesitation, "That's right, I not only know the recipe of osmanthus cake, but also know a lot of pastry recipes, it can be said that I have more secret recipes in my hand, and there is no shortage of pastry recipes at all." ”
