Chapter 73: Selling Soap

Before dawn, Chen Xiuyun walked to the back of the county meat factory with thirty pieces of soap.

The weather was not as cold as it was before, but Chen Xiuyun still carefully wrapped her head, revealing only two eyes.

There is a road behind the meat factory, and then there is a forest behind it, and the sky is only bright when Chen Xiuyun arrives at the back of the meat factory.

The people who came here to do business were all in the forest, and there was a person standing or squatting for ten meters.

Chen Xiuyun looked around and saw that this place was indeed easy to run, and he was relieved.

"Big sister, bring me two pieces of jujube cake."

Although Chen Xiuyun wrapped her face, the pork seller could recognize people at a glance from her shape, and he saw it almost every day during that time, he bought two jujube cakes to eat almost every other day, his family loves to eat them, why can't he recognize it?

Chen Xiuyun came to him and said, "I don't sell pastries today." ”

"And what did you bring?" The pork seller stood up and looked at Chen Xiuyun's basket.

Open a corner, inside is a piece of half-gray soap, soap is also printed with the pattern of three leaves, the soap board is upright, it looks like there is no packaging, the color is somewhat different, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are almost the same, but it doesn't look as big as the soap in the supply and marketing cooperatives, almost half smaller.

"Does this work for you? How did you sell it? ”

Chen Xiuyun gestured with a finger, "No ticket, two cents a piece, washing clothes and washing hands can be clean and oily." ”

The people who came to sell things and buy things around listened to the two of them, and when they heard two cents, they felt that it was really cost-effective, and the soap in the supply and marketing cooperatives not only asked for tickets, but also sold for three cents and seven cents, and they could buy more than one piece.

There are many people who are excited.

In an instant, a lot of people came around, and when I got closer, this soap was almost half smaller than that in the supply and marketing cooperative, but two cents was still a little moving compared to three cents.

"You can't be fake, can you? Will it be useless to buy it back? ”

Chen Xiuyun said: "I don't just sell this time, you buy it back today, you will know it as soon as you wash it, and I will come back in the future." ”

The price is really beautiful and moving, and I don't need a ticket, in a blink of an eye, Chen Xiuyun sold it for eight yuan.

A piece of six was in hand, and Chen Xiuyun's heart finally settled.

This soap is really clean, and she is not afraid that others will come to her if it doesn't work after buying it.

There are indeed not as many people in the new black market as before, and Chen Xiuyun sold all 30 pieces of soap until after 11 o'clock.

Seeing that there were people selling mung beans, they didn't want tickets, two cents and seven cents a catty, which was four cents more expensive than the tickets in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so Chen Xiuyun bought four catties and went back.

With money in his hand, he didn't panic, he sold it for six yuan today, Chen Xiuyun remembered the wild vegetables that the two daughters in the family had eaten recently, and simply spent five cents to cut half a catty of pork here where pork was sold.

The leftover meat was too thin, and the pork seller was embarrassed, so he pasted a small piece of lean meat to Chen Xiuyun, "When will I make jujube cake again, my grandson wants to eat it." ”

There are no red dates at home, and Chen Xiuyun doesn't really want to make jujube cakes, she was moved by Jiang Xinyu's words, and she wants to make mung bean cakes, which is indeed much more cost-effective than making jujube cakes.

"That's not a coincidence, there are no red dates, change me to make mung bean cake, it's delicious, and your grandson also loves to eat it."

Although the two of them didn't know each other's names, they had some friendship after buying and selling things together.

Chen Xiuyun greeted him and left.

When they got home, Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu were eating corn tortillas with pickles, and the porridge was also corn paste.

On the ropes hanging in the yard were the clothes and sheets that the sisters had washed for half the morning.

Seeing that there were two pig pancreas in the basket and no piece of soap, Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "It's all sold out, my mother is too powerful." ”

There are still hundreds of dollars at home, and it will be a huge amount of money after selling, if the family has money, will she not have to work?

Chen Xiuyun glanced at her and felt that this girl's little mouth was really sweet.

Seeing that Comrade Chen Xiuyun also took out a piece of meat, Jiang Xinyu was even more happy.

Although Chen Yi would bring her something to eat every week, and take her to eat at a state-run restaurant at least once a week, she was still happy to fly when she saw this piece of lean meat.

Jiang Yuzhu served Chen Xiuyun a meal, and Jiang Xinyu happily talked around Chen Xiuyun like a bee.

Chen Xiuyun took out the mung beans and poured them into the pot halfway.

"What do you make of mung bean cake? Steam a little tonight, send a pound to Chen Yi's family, and I'll sell the rest tomorrow. ”

Jiang Xinyu felt that it was very fragrant when she ate pickles, and she told Chen Xiuyun with great interest the steps to make mung bean cake.

"Okay, okay, when the mung beans are ready, you take me to do it." Chen Xiuyun was dizzy when she listened, and the little girl was really hard to listen to.

Although I don't have to go to work and don't have to do long and consuming physical work, there are a lot of bits and pieces of work at home.

I washed a bunch of clothes, the water in the tank was gone, and it took a lot of time to carry water and fill the tank.

Jiang Xinyu couldn't pick up the flat burden, so she could only go to the ditch bucket by bucket, and her hands were red.

Jiang Yuzhu went to dig a basket of wild vegetables again.

Jiang Xinyu wanted to vomit when she saw wild vegetables, but she had to eat it.

The mung beans finally soaked, and the sky was dark.

After the fire was lit in the stove, the mung beans that had been washed many times were put into the pot and cooked, in order to save trouble, Jiang Xinyu did not peel the mung beans.

After taking the mung beans out of the pot, put them on a cleaned white cloth, wrap them in a cloth, and then roll them out with a rolling pin to form the mung bean puree.

Because there are too many mung beans and the cloth is not big, it takes a lot of time to roll all the mung beans into mud.

Immediately pour lard into the pot, and after a few decades, butter is used, which can make the taste of mung bean cake better, and there will be no other peculiar smell, Jiang Xinyu is afraid that the lard will have a taste, so she adds malt milk essence to the mung bean puree and stirs well.

Chen Xiuyun watched the little girl take the few good things at home, and felt distressed in her heart.

Mix the oil and mung bean puree together, add a lot of sugar, fry until all the sugar is absorbed by the mung bean puree, there is no excess residue and water in the pot, and a large piece of semi-solidified paste is served.

Immediately after that, the formed mung bean paste was divided into dough of uniform size, Jiang Xinyu put the dough into the mold to press out the pattern and then push it out, and a beautiful mung bean cake was freshly baked.

Jiang Yuzhu admired again and again, "Little sister, where did you learn it?" ”

Jiang Xinyu said: "Last time I went to the scrapyard and picked up a few pieces of paper, there were a lot of recipes and methods for making various pastries, and I remembered them all. ”

"I asked Chen Yi to make this mold for me."

The mold is round, and the pattern inside is not complicated, but it looks particularly like a moon cake when printed on the mung bean cake, but it is not as big as a moon cake, and you can eat one in a few bites, and the printed mung bean cake looks particularly high-end.

Chen Xiuyun learned from Jiang Xinyu's appearance just now, stuffed the balls into the mold, and could print one in a moment.

In just ten minutes, nearly 200 small mung bean cakes were freshly baked.

Two catties of mung beans made almost six catties of mung bean cake, Chen Xiuyun thought about it, one catty is one portion, a piece of mung beans costs seven cents and five, five cents and four, plus oil and sugar, and a little bit of malt milk essence, you can sell it for four yuan and five, and you can earn nearly three yuan.

Chen Xiuyun thinks this business can be done! I only go eight days a month, earn three yuan a day, and I have twenty-four a month, plus soap, and there will be income at home in the future, so I finally don't have to worry about it!
