Chapter 18 The reborn peasant girl is busy farming in the space 3 (New article please take care of me)(1/2)
Xu's mother laughed happily and said, "You can tell by looking at your brother's appearance whether it tastes good or not."
Little Brother Xu, who was stuffing cakes into his mouth: "......"
What the hell?
Why are they all teasing him as soon as they open their mouths?
And what are you talking about, why do you always bring him with you?
Seeing Xu Xiaodi's depressed look, Jian Yi burst out laughing.
Seeing how cute his youngest son was, Xu's father, who had been silent and didn't speak much, was also infected by the family and laughed out loud.
After eating the pastries, Jian Yi talked with Xu's father and mother about how to sell them.
What Xu's father and Xu's mother meant was that they would go to the county town tomorrow to buy ingredients. After they made the food themselves, they would carry the shelves and sell them in the county town.
But Jianjie has a negative attitude towards this.
"Mom and dad, this pastry is delicious and fresh, but its preparation method is not troublesome. If you have some experience, if you eat a few more bites, the chef may figure it out.
By then, not only the master chefs in pastry shops, but also those selling food on the streets may be able to imitate it.
So I think it may be the most uneconomical thing for us to make it ourselves and then sell it.”
Hearing what Jian Yi said, Xu's father and Xu's mother were a little anxious.
Xu's mother said anxiously: "What should we do?"
Xu's father and Xu Xiaodi, who was eating happily just now, also looked at Jian Yi eagerly.
Jian Yan's heart was struck by the father and son whose expressions were in sync with each other in front of him.
The contrast is cute. It’s so cool that it makes no sense.
Seeing Jian Yi staring at Xu's father and Xu Xiaodi without saying a word, Xu's mother, who was worried, tugged on Jian Yi's sleeves in an attempt to pull her divergent thoughts back.
Jian Yi smiled awkwardly and replied: "I think maybe selling the recipe to a pastry shop in the town is the best choice."
Xu’s mother: “Why?”
Jian Yi smiled and looked at Xu Xiaodi, "Xiao Sheng, tell me why selling the recipe to the pastry shop in town is the best choice."
When Xu Xiaodi heard his sister ask him this, he lowered his head and thought seriously.
On the side, Father Xu and Mother Xu didn't dare to speak when they saw their daughter taking the exam for her younger son at the school. They waited quietly for the younger son's answer.
Everyone waited for a while, and then Xiaodi Xu replied: "It's because if we sell the recipe directly to the pastry shop, no one will dare to imitate the yam cake and we can also get a sum of money. Is that so?
,elder sister?"
He was a little unsure.
Jian Yi nodded with satisfaction. Xu Xiaodi is quite smart. It seems that he can be trained more in the future.
"You're right."
"If we buy it ourselves, something similar to ours will soon appear on the market, and it may be even better than ours.
There are even some desperate people who, seeing that we have no backers, will directly intercept us and steal prescriptions.
Moreover, if we sell it ourselves, our grandparents may know about it. Once they find out, they will definitely come to our door and ask for prescriptions or money. It’s hard to say whether we will give it to them or not.”
After that, he explained it to the father and son from another angle.
"If we buy a pastry shop directly, we can get a sum of money, which should be no less than what we would make if we sell it ourselves.
And as long as we don’t tell ourselves, our grandparents won’t find out and come looking for us.
At present, this pastry has not appeared in pastry shops in the town. It is considered a new product. After the pastry shop owner gets the recipe, he will definitely not allow ordinary people to sell the same pastry before making back his money.
Delicious and fresh food will definitely make a lot of money for the pastry shop, and it will definitely create some trust in us in the shopkeeper's heart.
I also have other pastry ideas, and I can slowly sell them to them.
In this way, we not only made money, saved ourselves the trouble of time, but also met and made friends with a capable shopkeeper in the town. If anything happens in the future, let’s not ask someone to help us, but at least we can ask.
As for catching someone blind."
After Jian Jian's explanation was successful, Xu's father and Xu's mother nodded in agreement.
"But sister, according to what you said, how can you be sure that the shopkeeper of the pastry shop will buy our recipe as you imagined, instead of like other people who refused to buy it in person and turned around to find someone to block the way and snatch it away?
"
Xu Xiaodi raised his head and looked at Jian Yi in confusion.
simple:"……."
This guy has a very flexible mind and quick reactions.
Xu's father and mother were both stunned by her unrestrained talk. They didn't expect that she could think so clearly.
However, it was quite difficult for them to answer this question. After all, she couldn't tell him directly. She only found out after reading the original owner's memory.
In the plot, the original owner went to work as a concubine for a local official in the town for food during the famine years.
Before the original owner fell out of favor, Fang Yuanwai also liked the original owner. Occasionally, when she was drunk, she would hurt the original owner and talk about her business matters.
He once said by chance that this pastry shop was the property of his enemy, and the shopkeeper there was a capable man. He valued the other party's ability, and went to poach him with heavy gifts several times, all because the shopkeeper said he wanted to repay his boss for his kindness.
reject.
In addition, due to the good reputation spread by word of mouth, Jian Jian felt that the other party's character should not be found there.
But she couldn't explain this reason to Xu Xiaodi, so she could only fool him.
The next day, everyone in the Xu family got up early.
After eating something casually, Jian Yi and Xu's mother repeated the steps from last night and made a batch of yam cakes, mung bean cakes, and red bean cakes.
Arrange the dishes carefully, put some things into the food box carefully, put them at the bottom of the backpack, and cover them with other ornaments numbered with bamboo strips.
Jian Yan originally planned that she and Xu's mother would go there this time, but Xu's father was worried, so in the end Jian Yan went to town with Xu's father.
Xu Xiaodi was a little dissatisfied with this and wanted to go along, but because Xu's father did not agree, he did not go in the end.
Jian Yi followed Xu's father and walked into the pastry shop in his memory.
When the waiter in the store saw the father and daughter in ordinary clothes, his face was very calm, and his service attitude was also very good. It was obvious that he had been trained by the shopkeeper.
After Jian Yi carefully looked around the pastries on the cabinet and their prices, he walked directly to the waiter and asked, "I wonder if the shopkeeper is here. We made some fresh food. Is he interested?"
Seeing Jian Yi talking like this, the waiter said "wait a moment" and then went into the inner room. Not long after, a middle-aged man came out of the inner room to say hello to Xu's father.
Xu's father replied a few words to the shopkeeper a little awkwardly, and after asking about the purpose of Jian Yi's visit, he invited the father and daughter into the inner room to talk.
Inside the store was a simply decorated lounge. After a casual glance, Jian Yi stopped looking at it. Following the shopkeeper's instructions, he took Father Xu to do the work.
From the beginning, the shopkeeper was observing Jian Yi and the two. Seeing that Jian Yi was the talkative one of the two, he looked at Jian Yi and asked, "I wonder what the fresh food you two are talking about? Can you take it out and take a look?"
Hearing this, Jian Yi took out the food boxes placed in the backpack and placed them one by one in front of the shopkeeper.
"This is mung bean cake, this is red bean cake, this is..." Jian Jian pointed to the cakes and introduced.
"These are all made by my family when they have nothing to do. They taste sweet, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are very delicious.
The shopkeeper might as well give it a try and see if it suits your liking." Jian Yi invited with a smile.
Shopkeeper Chen twisted a piece of each pastry and tasted it. He thought it was really good, so he didn't just talk nonsense and went directly to the topic.
"This pastry is really good. I wonder how the girl wants to sell it?"
Jian Jian threw the question back to him, "Shopkeeper, how much do you think it's worth?"
Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and then returned: "Ten taels of silver buy out Fangzi, what do you think?"
Jian Jian doesn't understand the conversion of money in ancient times, but thinking about the small bag of cakes that Aunt Xu brought back, the market price is more than ten copper coins. Thinking about it this way, ten taels of silver is still quite a lot.
This shopkeeper is really generous and honest. It seems that I can cooperate with him more in the future.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chen!"
"To be honest with the shopkeeper, I have liked to think about some fresh food since I was a child. I have many strange ideas in my mind. When the time comes, I will make some fresh food for you to try."
After seeing that the matter was settled, they said goodbye briefly and took Xu's father, who was still a little stunned, to leave.
Father Xu, who was led away by his daughter, walked for a long time and was still a little unable to recover.
Father Xu never thought that a pastry recipe could be sold for ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver.
He and his children and his mother had worked hard in the fields for more than ten years, and they only had one tael of silver in hand.
And now, in just one day, her daughter had brought him back ten taels of silver.
He simply couldn't believe it.
He thought that this prescription would sell for one or two taels, but the result was far beyond his imagination.
After Jian Yi saw Xu's father calm down, Jian Yi discussed with Xu's father to buy some food back.
According to the plot, in more than a year, severe drought and famine will begin in Zengcheng.
