Chapter 42: The County Lieutenant

"Brother, I see that your pastry smells good, but it's too expensive. If you don't sell it at a lower price, you won't be able to sell it. How many people have come to ask for the price? ”

The stall next to Ning Changrong was a vendor selling hairpins, Ning Changrong let him taste a little cake for the guests to try, and originally wanted to take care of his business, but when he asked for ten cents a piece, he immediately dispelled his attention.

Ning Changrong smiled and explained: "It's not that I don't want to reduce the price, it's actually the lowest price, I have a lot of good things in this pastry, and the cost is in it." If I lower the price, then I am not losing money? It's okay, I'll wait, many housekeepers in our area will come to visit, and it's the end of the year, and there are many people who are willing to spend money, and there are always people who can afford it. ”

While the two were still chatting, a middle-aged man in dark silk stopped in front of Ning Changrong's stall.

"What do you call this? Why have you never seen one? ”

Ning Changrong ended the chat, quickly glanced at the other party, and hurriedly greeted the guest, "This guest officer, my name is cupcake, it is a craft researched by myself, and it is full of good things, it tastes soft and dense, and children and those elders with bad teeth can also taste it." ”

"I'm selling it by one, ten cents a piece, if you buy it sincerely, you can taste it, these are cut next to me, I haven't touched it."

The people who asked the price in front of him, Ning Changrong hadn't proposed to let them taste it, and those people were so frightened that they walked away when they heard the price, for fear that they would accidentally bump into Ning Changrong's mistake.

The middle-aged man's chin was raised, and he motioned for Ning Changrong to bring some over and give him a taste.

Ning Changrong hurriedly picked up the small paper pad, used a small bamboo skewer to pick up a small piece of cake and handed it over.

The middle-aged man is the housekeeper of the county lieutenant in the county, the county lieutenant, his wife is old, and it is not easy to eat anything, and he has no appetite for eating those soft and rotten foods every day, and the housekeeper is about to celebrate the New Year, and the housekeeper was sent out by the county lieutenant to personally find some fresh food to make the old lady happy, and he has not seen anything new for several days. Seeing that the New Year is coming, I don't know what to do with the county lieutenant, so I go out to the market every day in a hurry, and my eyes light up when I see the pastries wrapped in paper cups.

Steward Feng tasted it and found that the taste was really good, just like the hawker described it as soft and dense, but he didn't expect the hawker to be literate and able to say the word fluffy and dense.

"Nice, soft texture and melts in your mouth. How many do you have here? ”

Ning Changrong was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect it to be a big customer. Hurriedly said: "Today is the first time to sell, I don't bring much, there are always forty-nine small cakes." He took another one for him to taste.

"Okay, come with me. I didn't bring anyone with me, you took everything to the house for me. It didn't go far, and you just turned two alleys to get there. ”

"Okay! The guest officer waited for me to clean up and leave. ”

Ning Changrong said hello to the vendor next to him and followed, and after chatting for a long time, this person also told him a lot of knowledge in the market, although it may be because he gave the other party a little cake.

The hawker selling hairpins next to Ning Changrong looked at Ning Changrong with envy at the figure of Ning Changrong walking away from the guest, this person often comes to the East Market to buy, Ning Changrong doesn't know him, the hawker can recognize it, this is the housekeeper in the county governor's mansion.

I didn't expect people to sell it for a long time and couldn't sell it, so I wanted to buy one and gave him a round directly.

After only ten minutes of walking, Steward Feng stopped in front of a mansion where two stone lions stood in front of the door, and the plaque said Wu Mansion.

"Steward Feng, you're back!"

After Steward Feng knocked on the door, he walked into the mansion with Ning Changrong.

After Ning Changrong settled the money, he knew from the mouths of the subordinates in the mansion that this was actually the county governor's mansion, and he didn't know what this county lieutenant was in charge of in ancient times?

……

"Old lady, aren't you eating?"

"If you don't have an appetite, go down."

When Steward Feng brought the cupcakes, he happened to meet the next person who was leaving with a bowl.

Steward Feng was a little apprehensive in his heart, and walked into the room with a smile on his face, "Old lady, this is the fresh food that the master ordered me to find, you can taste it, like it or not." Old Madam Wu saw that Steward Feng was holding a tray with white and chubby pastries on it, which looked small and exquisite.

She hadn't really seen what it was.

"Steward Feng, what is this thing called?"

Steward Feng put down the tray, "Old lady, this is a small cake, I found fresh food in the West Market, I tasted it and thought it was delicious before I brought it to you, do you want to taste it?" This little cake is fluffy and not sticky to your teeth, and it is not too sweet. Mrs. Wu curiously picked up a small cake, gently broke the edge of the paper and took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly, "Hmm." Okay, this little cake is good, it's called a small cake, right? ”

"Yes, old lady, you have a good memory."

Old Madam Wu smiled, "No wonder my son values you so much." "Work steadily, listen when you speak.

In the evening, the county lieutenant Wu went home on duty.

"Mother, how do you feel? I heard Steward Feng say that you have a good appetite today. ”

"Then bring me a small cake, and I'll taste something that will make my mother hungry."

……

Ning Changrong set off in the morning and arrived home in the evening when it was almost dark.

"Wow! Dad, have you ever been to the county governor's mansion? What is the county governor? Those subordinates won't look down on you for bullying, right? ”

"What are you thinking? I was brought in by the housekeeper, and those subordinates didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face, how could they take the initiative to embarrass me? ”

"But I heard that this little cake of theirs was bought for the county lieutenant and his mother, if his mother likes to eat it, our business is estimated to be better and better in the future, can the things that the county lieutenant and his wife like be bad?"

"The future of the cake is very good!"

"Wow, that's great! Milk, then you will be the most profitable in our family in the future. ”

Wang Xiujuan interrupted the fantasy of the two fathers and daughters, "What do you want?" Is this cake so easy to serve? Even if someone comes to buy it, you won't have time to do it. Aren't we going to sell? How do you mean to make cakes again? ”

"What's the matter, we can send the mixing to the rest of the village." If they become the food and clothing parents of the villagers, then the villagers will definitely be willing to help her family when something happens.

Ning Changrong praised Ning Qingxi, his daughter had finally learned the skills of ancient life.

said to Wang Xiujuan: "Mother, Fangzi can be sold, but that doesn't mean we can't do it." When the time comes, it's just a matter of talking. ”

Wang Xiujuan didn't expect to be like this, or it would depend on her son to do business.

Ning Changrong suddenly thought of a question, "Xixi, do you know what the official position of the county lieutenant is?" What's the matter? ”

"I don't know, Dad, you wait for me to check."

Ning Qingxi said while looking at the encyclopedia: "The county lieutenant was almost equivalent to the third in command in the county in ancient times. It is mainly in charge of public order and arrest. ”

"Hey, this encyclopedia is so handy." Isn't this Zhao Zhukuai's direct boss?
