Chapter 31: Selling Secret Recipes

In order to solidify, Lu Qingcao added some corn flour.

The corn flour is very coarse, but it does not affect the use, and the pumpkin cake is quickly solidified when it is added.

One by one, she poured them into the bowl.

The sweet smell of orange and yellow attracted Lu Yihua and Lu Erli to squat in front of the pottery bowl.

Before it could cool down, the two of them dipped their fingers several times and stuffed them into their mouths with satisfaction.

"Mother, it's so sweet!" Lu Yihua showed a row of white tiger teeth, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

Lu Erli took the spatula and greedily licked the remaining juice, eager to chew the spatula and eat it.

Finally, when it cools, the juice turns into a pastry, and the aroma of hard and hard is emanating.

Lu Qingcao was divided among the two children.

Lu Yihua took a bite, and several happy households ascended to heaven: "Mother, it's so sweet, it's delicious!" ”

"It's better than the pastries I ate last time in Tianxianglou." Lu Erli praised with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Erli had finished eating the pastries in her hand, and her eyes stopped on the remaining pastries, unwilling to leave.

Children perceive sweetness differently than adults and are more likely to become addicted.

Lu Qingcao divided one person again, and this time Lu Erli finally slowed down and savored it in small sips.

Granny Qin hadn't finished the first pastry yet, she broke the rest of the pastry and stuffed it into the hands of the two children: "I'm old and my teeth are not good, you eat." ”

"Mother-in-law, there is still here, you eat yours." Lu Qingcao sent the pastry back.

Except for the high price of brown sugar, everything else is not worth much, and you can make more in the future.

"Hey, okay." Granny Qin couldn't help nodding and silently withdrew the pastry.

Early the next morning, Lu Qingcao made fifty pieces of pumpkin cake, put it on an ox cart and brought it to Tianxianglou with tofu.

With the tofu business, Tianxianglou was crowded early in the morning.

The guy skillfully unloaded the tofu, and looked at the boxy things on the board and made a difficulty: "Shopkeeper, this ......"

Shopkeeper Sun carried the account book, looked at the pastries on the car suspiciously, and asked, "Is this a newly made tofu?" ”

Lu Qingcao smiled, lifted the fabric and handed the pastry to him: "You taste it." ”

He picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it in disbelief.

The sweet smell fills the nasal cavity, sweet and greasy but not too much, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

Shopkeeper Sun, who doesn't like sweets, also widened his eyes: "It's delicious, what is this made of?" It's so delicious. ”

Lu Qingcao didn't hesitate either, and told him directly: "It's made of pumpkin, do you want to talk about a new business?" ”

The abacus beads in his hand rattled, and Shopkeeper Sun moved his thoughts.

Although the tofu business is good, it is too simple, and sooner or later the heat will pass.

And launching new products at the right time can make the popularity wave after wave and endure.

It's just that......

He quietly flicked the abacus beads and said with a smile: "What is the price of this?" ”

Lu Qingcao shook it and stretched out five fingers: "I don't sell pastries, I sell recipes, and I buy them out for fifty taels of silver." ”

Fifty taels?

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the pumpkin cake hesitantly.

He didn't have a lot of money, and he could take it out, but it was the first time he had bought a secret recipe.

I didn't do that in business!

Who doesn't make things to sell, how can there be formulas?

If someone makes the same one in the future, won't the secret recipe be bought for nothing?

There are no impermeable walls.

Lu Qingcao saw his thoughts, and slowly spoke: "Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry, these are all menus handed down from home, and other families can't do it, if you don't worry, I can sign an agreement to ensure that no one sells this within a year." ”

One year of non-competition, one year of industrial protection, and the economics knowledge of Lu Qingcao University finally came in handy.

Shopkeeper Sun didn't know what the agreement was, so he probably guessed that it should mean the same thing as the clerk.

It's enough to earn back fifty taels of capital a year, and there is plenty of time.

Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but scratch his head, and the abacus beads in his hand were like his fluctuating heart, rattling.

The shopkeeper Sun is the bookkeeper in the store, and it is not a problem to calculate and write on weekdays, but there is a problem - hesitation.

After a while, he still couldn't make a decision.

"Since Shopkeeper Sun doesn't do this business, I won't force it, so I will leave." Lu Qingcao was about to leave.

There are many restaurants in the city, so you can find another one.

She was more inclined to Tianxianglou in her heart, so she said that she was leaving, but her movements were two beats slower.

When talking about business, it is normal to put a little pressure at the right time.

"Okay, I'll take this deal." Shopkeeper Sun should take a bite.

He picked up another piece of pumpkin cake and put it in his mouth with a satisfied expression.

It tastes really good.

It's done!

Lu Qingcao breathed a sigh of relief and gave him the rest of the pumpkin cake: "Happy cooperation." ”

After writing down the menu, Lu Qingcao received a heavy amount of silver.

Fifty taels of silver filled a big bag, and she held it with her heart beating fast.

This feeling of watching more silver is too addictive.

……

Squeak –

The brand-new courtyard door of the Lu family was pushed open, and the two figures slowly paced towards the house.

"Mother, look at how big their new house is! It's all red bricks and green tiles, and I heard the mason say that it cost more than a dozen taels of silver! ”

Su Xiaofang has been staring at it since she built the house, and she finally found an opportunity to talk to the mason two days ago, so she couldn't wait to come.

The ground of the yard was paved with red bricks, and the cloth shoes creaked on them, and Su Xiaofang slowed down.

Tian Xiao'e was even more dazzled, and her eyes were straight: "Obediently, this house is more magnificent than the village chief's house!" The second family is really making a lot of money! ”

"With such a big house, their family can't live in it, what's wrong with a few more of us?"

Su Xiaofang opened her mouth indignantly, stretched out her hand and patted a handful of hard red bricks, eager to pick off the bricks and take them home.

Red brick three pennies a piece, how much does it cost!

The ground is also full of bricks, what a thing!

Tian Xiao'e was slightly stunned, and then showed a greedy smile: "If you can live in such a house, it's worth dying." ”

Speaking of "death", Tian Xiao'e trembled, and showed sorrow after smiling: "Your second aunt will definitely not agree, and then beat us up again......

Thinking of the injuries on Zhao Hehua's body, Tian Xiao'e was afraid.

Zhao Lotus is considered to be wasted, even if it is raised, it is still lame, and it will not be said to die in the future?

She didn't want that.

"Mother, let's just come and see, and besides, the new house will be pressed for three days, and there will be no blood, and the second aunt will definitely not do it." Su Xiaofang calculated the time.

She's not stupid, and she certainly won't kill herself.

I just have to think of a way.

Looking at the brand-new courtyard, Su Xiaofang also had her own little abacus in her heart.
