Chapter 181 Selling Mooncakes
"Hiss!" Su Tai gasped, "How can she be so courageous!"
Shen Yi shook his head meaningfully, and said with great emotion, "Town official Liu has a poor family background. He must have the courage that ordinary people don't have to accumulate his current family business.
The town official's wife was his bedside companion, and she was influenced by him from time to time, so naturally she was not comparable to an ordinary woman.
My idea is to send a batch of mooncakes before the tenth day of August. If they sell well, the Liu family will definitely order another batch from us."
Su Tai nodded slightly, "I have already placed the order. You can send a batch of mooncakes to deliver them tomorrow morning. As for the price..."
Su Tai thought carefully and said, "We sell them wholesale. For example, the salted egg yolk and red bean paste flavor is 15 cents each, and the five-nut pancake is 10 cents each. As for how they price it when they sell it, it has nothing to do with us."
"good!"
The next morning, Su Tai brought a batch of mooncakes to the open space in the yard.
Shen Yi called a few trusted villagers to help transport the goods.
This batch of mooncakes is worth twenty taels and costs six thousand five hundred virtual coins. If they sell well, they can be supplied quickly in the future.
The grinding stone is placed beside the pillow.
Ma Yujie's people were waiting at the town entrance early. When they saw Shen Yi's oxcart team, they immediately came forward and exchanged a few polite words. The manager brought people to inspect the goods on the spot.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the items, the steward thanked Shen Yi, paid the silver, and ran towards the county town with the mooncakes.
After Shen Yi said goodbye to the steward, he hurriedly delivered the remaining mooncakes to Ma Xingteng's restaurant.
When I got home, I took the remaining mooncakes and went to Dahe Town without stopping.
Shopkeeper Li of the Jixiang Inn in Dahe Town can be considered an old friend, so Shen Yi went to find him as soon as he entered the town and placed the mooncakes in front of Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li immediately understood Shen Yi’s intention, “Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
He called out several chefs from the inn, and everyone shared a few mooncakes.
Get together and discuss it.
Shen Yi was not in a hurry. He took advantage of their meeting to go to the dyeing workshop and deliver a small basket to Uncle Qi.
Uncle Qi would not miss such a good opportunity to show his courtesy, but only half an hour.
The mooncakes that Shen Yi gave him have already arrived in front of Master Pu.
Mr. Pu was not interested in sweet mooncakes, but he liked the five-nut and salty mooncakes very much, and asked Uncle Qi where the things came from.
Uncle Qi said hurriedly, "Master, do you still remember Chen Yi who sold you greenhouse vegetables for the winter last time? These mooncakes are sold by him. He gave me some. I thought Master would like them, so I sent them to you first."
Master Pu pointed at Uncle Qi and laughed, "You, you! Okay, I understand what you mean. Buy me some later. It's just right for Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and favors."
The most important thing is that these mooncakes are exquisite and delicious, otherwise he would not spend this money in vain.
Uncle Qi was overjoyed and hurried out to look for Shen Yi.
Shen Yi had just finalized the mooncake business with Shopkeeper Li when he turned around and was blocked by Uncle Qi at the door of the inn.
Now Shopkeeper Li also knew that Master Pu was looking for Chen Yi to buy mooncakes, and he quickly doubled the amount that had just been agreed upon.
After Shen Yi returned, he hurried to find Su Tai.
Su Tai went to the bakery again to increase the order.
The couple had been so busy that they had no time to go to Dongmen Village to send gifts, so they asked Shen Liang for help and sent a batch of mooncakes and crabs over.
Han was so happy to receive the gifts that she couldn't help asking a few more questions. When she learned that her daughter and son-in-law were selling mooncakes, she could no longer sit still. Not only did she advertise in the village, she also went to Ximen Village to ask the Han family for help.
“Have you bought mooncakes this Mid-Autumn Festival?”
"Why buy mooncakes? Only the rich people in this town are so particular. We can just make a few mooncakes and eat them."
"Oh! You are such a loser! Now everyone's life is better, but you have never eaten a big mooncake that costs fifteen cents. If this gets out, people will laugh at you to death!"
"Ah? Fifteen cents a piece isn't cheap! Besides, can that cake be as delicious as a pancake?"
"It smells so good! It smells so good! If you don't believe me, buy one and try it! I'm telling you, it's sold at the Su's in Dongmen Village. Go quickly, or you won't be able to buy it if you're late!"
Similar conversations spread to several nearby villages, and more and more people came to Su Chunlin's house to buy mooncakes.
Su Chunlin and Su Zhan took turns running to Shenjiazhuang.
Su Tai didn't expect that her parents would also come to her to place an order, so she deliberately gave her a discount of one or two cents so that her parents could earn more.
After a busy day until noon on August 15th, all the goods were finally delivered.
Su Tai could also sit down and take a breath.
Shen Yi closed the door.
The couple began to settle the accounts.
"The total is more than three hundred and sixty-five taels. This number is beyond my expectations!" Su Tai was a little surprised and a little bit unbelievable.
Shen Yi stroked his chin and pondered, “The first batch of goods sold for twenty taels. Since that day, the order volume has increased every day, especially yesterday. We sold a hundred taels of goods that day alone. Today is less, only thirty taels. I guess it’s the end.”
"That's not bad!" Su Tai was very happy. She quickly put the silver away and urged Chen Yi to wash the crabs. The three of them wanted to enjoy the moon tonight.
Shen Yi took Shen Yuezhang to the kitchen to work.
Su Tai took the opportunity to bring the money into the transfer station and sort out the accounts at the same time.
During this Mid-Autumn Festival, she spent nearly 120,000 yuan in the bakery, completing more than half of the impossible consumption task. According to this situation, if she sells a wave of snacks before the New Year, she can upgrade to the Fire Time and Space. I hope that the upgraded store will not be so deceptive.
Su Tai prayed and left the gate of time and space.
That night, the moon was bright in the sky, and the clear moonlight sprinkled on the brightly lit courtyard, adding a bit of coolness to this autumn night.
Shen Yi brought a large plate of crabs to the table, as well as a plate of moon cakes, a pot of chicken soup, a plate of pot cakes, and Sunshine Rose grapes.
The table is full, it's a joy to look at.
The two of them said some auspicious words to the moon and teased Shen Yuezhang for a while before they started eating.
Crabs are cold in nature, so even though they taste delicious, Su Tai didn't dare eat too many and stopped after eating only two.
Shen Yi, a grown man, really couldn't appreciate crabs. He ate two and then gave up because it was too troublesome.
Seeing that Su Tai was full, he packed up the remaining crabs and sent them to Shen Zhuang and Shen Mu's house.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to start the autumn harvest.
He still has to ask Huang Xinghua for help with the work in his fields.
When Chen Yi arrived at Chen Mu's house, he found that they were also watching the moon and eating in the yard. There was a large five-nut mooncake on the table, as well as some coarse flour buns, wild vegetable dumplings, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
This should be the standard configuration for most families in the village.
He withdrew his gaze inconspicuously and handed the thing to Huang Xinghua, "Aunt, this is the rock crab I got from the Daxun River. It doesn't have much meat, but it's very fragrant. Xiaotai can't eat too much because she's pregnant, and I can't eat it because it's too troublesome, so I'll just give you some to satisfy your hunger."
"Oh! How can I be so embarrassed?" Huang Xinghua was very surprised and started to be polite with Chen Yi.
