Chapter 210: Sky-high Price Mooncakes



So he said, "To be honest with you, Miss Shen, I bought some of them to eat at home, and I'll sell the rest today and take the opportunity to make some money."

Shen Yizhi didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he admired him even more for his honesty.

"Okay, I'll sell you these mooncakes, but I have two ways of selling them. It's up to you which one you choose. The first one is one tael of silver per mooncake, payable in full at one time. The second one is that I won't charge you any money, and I'll give you some suggestions to help you open up sales channels as quickly as possible, but the money from the mooncakes will be split 20% and 80% between you and me. Which one do you choose?"

Originally, she hadn't thought of making money from food, but since Xie Zhenlin came to her, wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't take the opportunity to make some money?

Xie Zhenlin thought about it, thinking of the booming business after the cooperation between Hongdou Restaurant and Shen Yizhi, his heart was burning with excitement, and he decided to take a gamble: "I choose the second one."

"Okay, first tell me, how do you plan to sell these mooncakes?" Shen Yizi asked.

Xie Zhenlin sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said, "Well, I plan to send them to my mother's pastry shop to sell."

Shen Yizhi shook his head. "This is too slow. The Mid-Autumn Festival is only today. After today, the popularity of eating mooncakes will decrease. Who will buy them then? Mooncakes can only be kept for two or three days at most. After a long time, they will go bad. So these mooncakes must be sold within today. Today is already half a day, so you only have half a day left."

Xie Zhenlin couldn't help but get anxious, "What should I do then?"

Shen Yi knew: "Why don't you cooperate with the largest restaurant in the city and give them 100 mooncakes for free, and let them give them to customers for free. As long as someone tastes it, do you think the customers will be willing to buy it?"

Xie Zhenlin pounded his fist into his palm, "Needless to say? Didn't I come to you to buy it after tasting it? I believe that as long as someone has tasted it, they will definitely be willing to spend money to buy it."

"That's it. So how do you think the mooncakes should be priced?" Shen Yizhi asked another question.

"One two taels!"

"Well, you can sell it to the restaurant at this price. As for how the restaurant sells it, that's their business. You just need to negotiate with the people at the restaurant."

After the deal was done, Xie Zhenlin left happily with the mooncakes, and Shen Yizi even lent him the donkey cart from his home.

Shen Yizhi walked out of the living room and saw Qian Wu and the others staring at him. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Qian Wuqiqi Aiai said: "Miss, a mooncake costs two taels of silver, so didn't we spend a lot of silver on it before?"

Shen Yizhi chuckled.

"Two taels of silver is for selling to others. It's nothing for us to eat. What do you usually eat outside that you wouldn't want to spend money on? Now you're really worried about the money."

Qian Wu thought about it and agreed.

Let's not talk about anything else, just the crabs he was handling at the moment, each one was as big as his palm. Such fat crabs would sell for at least a few taels of silver outside, and the girl took out a whole basin of such crabs! A basin! Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, such an important day, of course, it is even more important to have a good meal.

Now is the time to eat crabs, and chestnuts, oranges, pomegranates, etc. are also ripe and can be eaten.

Shen Yizi looked at the ingredients and prepared to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, chicken stewed with fresh chestnuts, sweet and sour fish, glutinous rice meatballs, and three ways to eat crabs - crab stuffed with orange, steamed crabs, and amaranth stewed with crab paste, as well as two stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the table would be complete.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a big dish made with seafood such as conger eel, squid, sea cucumber, and clams, as well as land delicacies such as pork, mushrooms, and black fungus. It is best to simmer it slowly in a clay pot. When the time is right, the moment you open the lid, the aroma is so intoxicating that it can make you feel like you are in heaven.

If you follow the normal procedure, it will take at least two or three days, but with the Changran Ding, as long as you prepare the ingredients, you can put them in and it can be ready in a quarter of an hour. It couldn't be more convenient.

Chicken stewed with fresh chestnuts. The newly ripe chestnuts still have a sweet taste. Although they are not as sticky as those after being dried in the sun, they have a unique freshness and tenderness.

The chickens we choose are free-range chickens raised at home. They have fine and firm meat. When paired with chestnuts, they taste amazing! Stuffed crab with orange and steamed crab are not to be mentioned. For this dish, stewed amaranth with crab paste, wash the crab meat and mix it with appropriate amount of milk and egg white to make crab paste. Add cooking wine, pepper and salt to the oil pan. When the heat is almost right, add amaranth that has been boiled in hot water, then crab paste, thicken with starch and add milk. After serving, sprinkle with ham, and the dish is ready.

It looks colorful and tastes fragrant and fresh.

Qingbao and Nian Nian were crying and jumping beside them, asking for food.

Shen Yizi scooped a spoonful and fed each person half a spoonful.

"Okay, go wash your hands and eat."

The two little guys immediately ran to the sink by the well, washed their little paws, and rubbed soap on each other.

The medical cosmetics made by Shen Yizi, of course, also include various soaps, for washing hands, washing faces, and taking baths... everything you need.

In Hongdou Pavilion, these soaps are also the most popular. After all, the price of a single soap is relatively cheap, and one soap can be used for a long time, making it the first choice of many women.

When Shen Yizhi brought out the dishes, he saw Qingbao and Niannian playing with bubbles again, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

I was feeling hungry just now, but now I’ve forgotten to eat because I’m playing.

In the thatched pavilion separated by a wall, Luo Yaoyao has not left yet. Although she cannot enter the Shen family, it is good to listen to Qing Bao's voice across the courtyard wall.

Later, smelling the tempting aroma wafting from inside, he became even more reluctant to leave.

It smells so good. What delicious food are they making inside?

Alas, I am such a pitiful old man. Every family is reuniting to celebrate the festival, and the whole family is happily sitting together eating a sumptuous meal. Only he, for the sake of that unfilial disciple, ran thousands of miles to see his disciple's grandson.

How miserable it is to end up in such a lonely situation? I must blackmail that kid when I go back! He was drooling at the wall, imagining that he could also sit at the table to eat, when he saw Shen Yizhi walking towards him with a food box.

It was not until he saw her taking out the food and placing it on the table that he dared to believe it, "This..."

Shen Yi knew: "Old man, please eat."

Luo Yaoyao looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and thought to himself, this apprentice's wife is really too good! Needless to say, he will definitely protect this girl! After tasting the food, he was stunned at first, and then he devoured it all in a flash.

Inside the room, everyone sat around the table and ate happily.
