Chapter 14: Studying New Pastries
His world collapsed instantly with a bang.
The first time I made up my mind to buy some fortune cakes, I failed.
What's even more outrageous is that Donkey Rolling didn't buy it either.
While others lost both their lives and wealth, he lost both his cake and bread.
Woo hoo hoo, who else can I blame? He blamed himself for waiting on the sidelines for too long, hoping that the boss lady's donkey rolling would reduce the price, and in the end, he gave up the great opportunity to others.
Obviously, he was the first to come to the West Market, waiting for the landlady to show up.
"Mrs. Boss, let me tell you the truth." The man who didn't expect any pastries felt depressed. He felt that if he didn't say anything today, he would be depressed to death.
"There were a lot of people selling donkey rolls on the street today. I went to buy a few and try them, but they didn't taste good at all."
"Why I like eating donkeys and rolling around so much is not because of the chewy texture. How should I put it? It just suits my taste."
"It's not only what you want, it's also very much what we want." Several people present agreed.
Ding Xiang didn't expect that these people would react so quickly. She thought they would have to wait until tomorrow to find out how good she was.
In fact, after buying a cheap donkey roll, the first thing I can't help but want to try is whether it tastes good or not.
Once you eat it, you can immediately taste the difference.
Lin Dagua was silent at this moment, but he was trying to observe.
After watching and listening for so long, he finally understood a truth.
Why was his mother not worried at all when the donkey was rolling and couldn't be sold?
It turns out that if something is good, no one will like it.
That means you need to have enough confidence in your own products to do this.
This time, Lin Dagua silently remembered the contest between Ding Xiang and the guests.
Today's income is not bad, one thousand fortune cakes, the gross profit is four taels of silver.
Five hundred donkeys rolling around, the gross profit is one, two or four denarii.
As for the cost, the grain and oil store in the town plus the shopping mall cost about one to two to five yuan.
In other words, I made three taels and nine cents of silver today.
"Mom, shall we go to the grain and oil store to buy raw materials next?" Lin Dagua was not very accustomed to the word raw materials, but through his mother's explanation, he knew what it meant.
It is a general term for those materials used for making them. This way, you don’t have to say them all one by one, which is quite convenient.
Now, Lin Dagua was not surprised at all when Ding Xiang accidentally came up with new words.
He knew that his mother had an adventure and went to a very magical place.
And that place, he suspected, was heaven.
Lin Dagua's words successfully interrupted Ding Xiang's thoughts.
At this moment, mother and son were eating noodles at a roadside stall.
Their lunch is usually eaten in town, either steamed buns or chaotic noodles from this roadside stall.
Now, they have become regular patrons of this roadside stall.
In fact, Lin Dagua suggested at the beginning that if they couldn't go home in time for lunch, they could bring dry food over.
But he was firmly rejected by Ding Xiang!
Just kidding, in Lilac's philosophy, money is earned, not saved.
Besides, only if you eat well, your body will be better and you will have more energy to do things.
In the first few days, Lin Dagua didn't feel bad. A bowl of noodles for six cents was really luxurious.
But then I ate too much and gradually became numb. The main reason was that I made a lot of money every day.
Ding Xiang shook her head: "The raw materials at home are enough. Besides, I plan to take a few days off and study new pastries."
When she said this, Ding Xiang actually already had a plan in mind.
It has recently arrived at the end of March, which is the eve of the Qingming Festival. When passing by the fields while working on an ox cart, Lilac saw those mugworts that were growing happily.
The wormwood at this time is the most delicate time of the year.
According to the custom of Qingming Festival in China, every family will pick mugwort and make a pastry called Qingtuan.
The fragrance of mugwort in the green dough is a major feature of this pastry.
It is also a unique pastry in this season.
Moreover, mugwort, a wild vegetable, has very good effects on the human body. It can dispel dampness and cold, and is especially suitable for women.
And its unique smell can also repel mosquitoes.
"Ah?" Lin Dagua felt that it was a pity. The business was so good right now, why should it stop? Shouldn't it be to pursue the victory and make a fortune?
"Son, you can't make enough money, and your health is the most important thing. We have been so busy every day these days, we should take a good rest for a few days."
Ding Xiang is a little helpless. Although she has made a lot of money these days, her workload is also very heavy.
It's not that she's lazy, it's that she feels that everything should be done step by step, and she can't think about becoming fat in one bite.
"But, Huajiao's ransom money..."
"That's enough. After we finish lunch, we will immediately go to Zhang Dahu's house to redeem your eldest sister."
