Of course, they certainly wouldn't put their hands directly into the plates, but they still knew the basic dining etiquette, and Shen Yizi also paid attention to teaching them these.

After the meal, it is lunch time as usual.

Shen Yizhi had just coaxed Qingbao and Niannian to sleep and came out of the small building when Xie Zhenlin came again.

He was sweating and his face was sunburned, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Ms. Shen! Sold out! All the mooncakes are sold out!" He shouted excitedly as he came in.

Shen Yizhi made a shushing gesture to him, "Stop making noise, I just put the two kids to sleep."

Xie Zhenlin quickly closed his mouth.

Shen Yizhi poured him a glass of iced sour plum soup and took a few pieces of watermelon. "Tell me the details."

Although the room was cool, Xie Zhenlin was still very hot because he had been running and sweating. He fanned himself with one hand and picked up the sour plum soup with the other hand and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he exhaled a refreshing breath of cool air.

This sour plum soup is delicious too!

Xie Zhenlin did not delay and explained the situation.

After he entered the city, he took a box of mooncakes and went to see Zheng Tao, the owner of Zuixiaoju.

Speaking of which, he and Zheng Tao used to hang out together, but later Zheng Tao turned over a new leaf and returned home to inherit the family property, becoming the CEO of a restaurant and becoming one of the richest sons-in-law in Langcheng, while he was still hanging around.

Although the two are not the same kind of people now, they still have a friendship, so Xie Zhenlin easily met Zheng Tao. After meeting, he didn't say much nonsense and directly gave him a piece of mooncake to taste.

After tasting it, business talks went smoothly.

Everything that followed came naturally.

According to Shen Yizhi's suggestion, Zheng Tao took the 100 mooncakes that Xie Zhenlin gave him for free and gave one to each table of guests in the private room. In addition, Zheng Tao also arranged a babysitter.

The task of the babysitter is to praise the mooncakes highly after tasting them and then pester people to buy them.

Originally, the waiter had prepared a speech in his mind in advance so that he could praise the mooncake highly. However, after eating it, the speech was completely useless because it was so delicious!

He praised it completely from the bottom of his heart.

He even rushed out to ask Zheng Tao to buy it.

The show by the two attracted many customers in the store, and those customers who were not interested in mooncakes originally joined the camp to buy mooncakes after trying them.

No one who has tasted it can say anything bad about it.

If one or two people were like this, it was impossible for everyone to follow suit and tell lies, right? In this way, everyone's appetite was whetted.

Those who have eaten it want to eat more, and those who have not eaten it are itching to try it too.

Then, Zheng Tao's nature as a profiteer was exposed. He first pretended to be in trouble and said that he didn't have that much goods. Finally, when he couldn't refuse any more, he said that he would go and urge the delivery and try his best to get the goods.

After receiving the goods from Xie Zhenlin, Zheng Tao efficiently packaged the mooncakes and sold them for 20 taels of silver a box.

There are only four in a box.

Yet, many people are rushing to buy it.

Upon learning about Zheng Tao's selling price, Xie Zhenlin's originally excited mood was immediately dampened.

Why didn't he think of that! Profiteer!

But he also learned a lesson from this.

The mooncakes he brought were sold out very quickly, so he came to Shen Yizi to purchase more.

By the way, I'll share the money I earned this time.

Six hundred mooncakes, minus the one hundred that were given away for free, leaving five hundred, which were sold for one thousand taels of silver. According to the originally agreed 2:8 split, Shen Yizi earned eight hundred taels of silver just by sitting at home.

Xie Zhenlin just ran some errands and earned two hundred taels for nothing.

He earned this with his own ability!

It was the first time that Xie Zhenlin made so much money. He felt like he was floating in the clouds. His head was dizzy and he grinned like a silly son of a landlord.

"How much did Zuixiaoju order from you this time?" Shen Yizi asked.

Xie Zhenlin came back to his senses, quickly took out an order and handed it over.

“This time we ordered a full thousand.”

Seeing that Shen Yizhi didn't say anything, Xie Zhenlin was a little nervous, "Miss Shen, can you do this order?"

"If you don't make money, you're a fool. Why not do it?"

Xie Zhenlin was relieved immediately, "Then how about we raise the price this time?"

When he thought about how his mooncake worth two taels would be sold at a high price of five taels by Zheng Tao, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Shen Yizhi glanced at him and said, "Integrity is the most important thing in doing business. You can't go back on your word."

He didn't know why, even though her tone wasn't harsh, Xie Zhenlin still felt a chill on his back, which was more deafening than his father yelling into his ear.

He immediately corrected his attitude and said, "I was greedy. Miss Shen is right. I will keep it in mind in the future."

"Well, go back now. I'll have Qian Wu deliver the goods to you in two hours."

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait." Xie Zhenlin walked away, looking back every few steps.

After he left, Shen Yizhi immediately closed the gate and ordered Gan Wu and a few others to do some work.

During this period, she went out for a while and when she came back, Xiao Er was with her.

Seeing this, Qianwu complained a few words helplessly in his heart and ignored it.

Xiao Er and Xiao San are extremely efficient, Qian Wu and Kun San can only look up to them.

After working for an entire afternoon, I finally finished making the one thousand mooncakes.

Except for Xiao Er and Xiao San, the two puppets who had no idea of ​​tiredness, the others were so tired that they couldn't even stretch their fingers straight.

Shen Yizhi is no exception.

When mooncakes were made, everyone ate a lot of them. No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat too much of it.

So now, few people see mooncakes anymore and don’t like them as much as before.

"Are you all hungry? Have a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup first. Let's have something simple tonight. I'll make a pot of noodles."

After resting for a while, Shen Yizhi asked Xiao Er to serve everyone a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that had been stewed in the morning.

Simmer over low heat until the Tremella is soft and mushy, the lotus seeds are glutinous, the sweetness is just right, and it’s warm. After one bowl of it, several people feel satisfied.

"Qianwu, thank you for making another trip to deliver these mooncakes to Xie Zhenlin. Xiaosan, you can come with us."

Although it is still light now, it will probably be dark by the time Qianwu comes back, so it is better to have someone to keep him company.

After the two left, Shen Yizi went to the kitchen to cook dinner, and Kun San helped him.

She said it was a simple dish, but this pot of noodles actually had quite a lot of ingredients, with a rich and mellow broth and chewy noodles. After kneading the noodles, she put them in cold water to rinse them, which made them swell a little and make them more chewy.

It is filled with mushrooms, ham, black fungus, green vegetables, and eggs.

There are also various sauces, such as beef sauce, mushroom sauce, bean paste, and chili sauce, which can be added as you like.
