Chapter 36: Fat Cake
Why does Jiang Xinyu feel discouraged, but she can't see the benefits for the time being, and the sales may not go well. Selling a piece for two cents, that's what she thinks, and whether she can sell it or not is a question.
Although she was discouraged, Jiang Xinyu still insisted on continuing to do it, accumulating a lot, and if she sold them all, it would be a lot of income. This dream still has to be done.
But the New Year is coming soon, the meat that Comrade Chen Xiuyun got back today is going to be eaten for more than half a year, and Jiang Xinyu doesn't know how much money she has in her hands, but she wants to earn some money quickly.
Jiang Xinyu racked her brains to think about which of her skills could make her money.
What is the best money to earn in the Hereafter? There are the most convenience stores on the street, and then restaurants, clothing stores, mother and baby stores, and the best money to earn is money for women and children.
The soap production cycle is long, and it is not completed in a month when it is made and sold completely.
Jiang Xinyu thought about it, in addition to making a variety of soaps, lipsticks, masks, and rouge small things, she can also bake cakes to make desserts.
Although there is no oven now, it is possible to make old-fashioned chicken cakes with a pot, but the molds are not complete, and the egg wash is a problem, the probability of success will not be too large, and there is a great risk of failure.
Jiang Xinyu thought about it and fell asleep.
She has no money in her pocket, and she doesn't have private territory, so she has to let Comrade Chen Xiuyun know what she wants to do.
So after eating the next morning, when Chen Xiuyun was about to read the content summarized by her daughter and the junior high school textbook, she heard that the little girl was going to toss the cake again.
Chen Xiuyun was speechless, "I don't have you to eat and drink?" You come up with fresh ideas every day. ”
Jiang Xinyu shook her arm, "Mom, you let me use some flour and eggs, and add sugar, I'll make it for you to taste it, okay Mom!" I know you're the best! ”
Jiang Xinyu was coquettish and crooked for a while, and she couldn't fix Chen Xiuyun anymore, this girl wouldn't be like this before!
Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to refuse Jiang Xinyu after all.
There are a few catties of rich and strong powder at home, and she will make white steamed buns during the New Year, and in a few days she plans to steam a steamed bun stuffed with soy sauce pork and green onions.
However, when Jiang Xinyu begged Comrade Chen Xiuyun to agree, she was a little confused, there was no baking powder, what did she do?
So she could only ask Chen Xiuyun to be an old face for her.
It takes more than ten hours to make old noodles, and when the noodles and hair are good, it will be the next day.
There are jujube trees in the mountains behind the brigade, and some people in the brigade also have jujube trees at home, so red dates are not rare in the brigade.
Chen Xiuyun didn't expect her to play quite flowery, and she felt distressed when she watched her huo four eggs.
Jiang Xinyu not only worked by herself, but also asked Jiang Yuzhu to help her steam red dates and make jujube paste, but there was no mold, so she could only use a bowl to steam in the pot, and after the batter fermented to 1.5 times the size, she embellished the cut red dates on it.
Her pot is big, and one pot can steam five small bowls at the same time, and when the lid is lifted, the sweet taste of the moment makes the mother and daughter intoxicated.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu's house is in the westernmost part, and the smell can't float in the village, plus every household is refining oil, and the fragrance of the egg cake is really not so eye-catching, as soon as the wind blows, the smell will disperse, and the source will not be traced.
Jiang Yuzhu and Chen Xiuyun saw the fragrant thief out of the pot and the good-looking egg cake, and their eyes lit up.
The face is good, fluffy and soft, dotted with red jujube grains, and the fragrance of eggs and red dates wafts out together.
After Chen Xiuyun vacated the bowl, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly steamed the jujube paste cake, the fire in the pot continued to burn, she turned around and entered the house, and saw that the two of them were eating.
"What does it taste like?"
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't wait to nod her head, "It's better than fruit!" "Sweet is sweet, it's sweet! Compared with the fruit, it makes the fruit a little tired!
Neither of them had ever eaten this kind of thing, but when they watched Jiang Xinyu make it, it was simple, just like steamed buns, except for beating eggs and adding sugar, and garnishing with jujube meat, Chen Xiuyun learned it after watching it once. However, the ingredients used, whether it is white flour or eggs and sugar, are all she is reluctant to suffer.
Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to eat it, it was too fragrant, and it was really good. If the little girl wants to eat this every day, she will definitely not be able to raise it.
The mother and daughter shared a piece of cake, and Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied, at least meeting her requirements. This is already the best pastry she can make with the existing conditions.
Thinking of the existing things at home, Jiang Xinyu also thought that in the future, she could use melon seeds and peanuts as decorations, and she could also make pumpkin hair cakes.
The taste of jujube paste cake is more domineering than egg cake, and when it came out of the pot, Jiang Xinyu sniffed it and sniffed hard.
Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Yuzhu were reluctant to eat it, Jiang Xinyu quickly cut one into three points, the three of them tasted it, Jiang Yuzhu was still reminiscing about the deliciousness of the jujube paste cake after eating it, she didn't know that the jujube was so delicious made into pastries!
Jiang Xinyu didn't say a word and was about to cut one again, but was stopped by Chen Xiuyun: "Don't waste such a precious thing, I'll go to the county seat early tomorrow." ”
Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mom, you're so picky." ”
Chen Xiuyun knocked her, and she was going to die of distress when she saw her using flour, sugar, and eggs, and she was willing to let her daughters continue to make trouble.
Chen Xiuyun finished the calculations, and made a total of ten pastries today, and if they were sold for one dime, they could earn twice as much, but she still asked the two girls how much the price was appropriate. Although the eggs are laid by their own chickens, they also have to calculate the cost.
Jiang Xinyu also understood the current prices, and then proposed a piece of one and a half cents.
Jiang Yuzhu hesitated: "Will it be too expensive?" ”
Jiang Xinyu said: "Do you look good?" Do you have an appetite? Do you want to eat it again? ”
Jiang Yuzhu nodded one after another.
Jiang Xinyu asked again: "Is that still expensive?" ”
Jiang Yuzhu still nodded!
Jiang Xinyu: "..."!
"You think it's expensive because you've never taken any money, and the workers in the city are richer than us, and you can afford to buy it once in a while. As long as they eat it and taste it so delicious, they won't feel so expensive. ”
Chen Xiuyun felt that what the little girl said was reasonable, so she turned out the oiled paper wrapped in peach crisp and fruit from the house, and wrapped it in oiled paper after the pastry cooled.
Before dawn the next day, Chen Xiuyun got up, she wrapped herself tightly, only showed a pair of eyes on her face, and set off with a basket covered with cloth.
Jiang Xinyu really wanted to go to the black market to see it, but was rejected by Chen Xiuyun.
From the brigade to the county, Chen Xiuyun walked for nearly three hours, she knew where the black market was, and she had a lot of experience in escaping.
Everyone who comes to the black market is like a thief, the seller puts things underground, and Chen Xiuyun will lift a corner of the basket when there are passers-by, so that people can see the yellow and clear egg cake and black and red date cake inside, this posture is conducive to escaping if something happens.
As soon as the cloth was lifted, the sweet taste came out, and the man selling pork next door swallowed frequently.
