Song Ning used to be the kind of person who wanted to learn everything she saw.
Sure enough, she dug out some old cookbooks from the cupboard, including cake recipes.
I bought a lot of things so I could bake cakes at home, but I only used them a few times before they were dumped here.
Thankfully, her house came along too, otherwise she would have been devastated.
Following past experience and the methods and steps in the book, Song Ning carried out her work in an orderly manner.
I was very careful when using her egg beater, and only dared to take it out after making sure everyone was busy.
Her earthen oven was made by craftsman Li, and it was even better than the one her father had built for her before. It could even control the size of the fire.
She poured the mixed cake batter into a small bowl, put it in the earthen oven, and then started making the cream.
She didn't dare to do too much, because if it didn't work out, such a good thing would be wasted.
Judging by its size, it should be less than six inches.
After Song Ning spent a long time in the kitchen, the others outside couldn't resist any longer.
Xu Feng clung to the window, not daring to open it, and whispered, "Er Ya, are you done yet? Xiao Tao is so hungry for it."
Xiao Tao pouted: "It's clearly you who's greedy, not me."
They could smell the cake as soon as it came out of the window. Even though they hadn't tasted it yet, it smelled delicious.
They'd been inside for so long, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I knocked on the window to urge them on.
Song Ning's voice came from inside the room: "Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."
Fearing that the younger ones might rush in, Song Ning quickly packed up the food, smoothed out the cream, and then took it out.
When the cake was placed on the table in the pavilion, Xiaomei, Xiaotao, and Xu Feng's eyes lit up, and even Xiaocui couldn't help but take a second look.
"Boss, what are you making?"
"This is called a cake, it's a kind of dessert. Go and get a few small plates first."
Xu Feng was the first to run into the kitchen, bring back five small plates, and obediently wait for Song Ning to cut the cake.
"I'm not making much. You should try a little first. If you like it, I'll make more."
After dividing the cake, Song Ning gave the rest to the adults in her family, and she only took one bite herself.
not bad.
If it can be done, this deal might also work.
She originally planned to sell the cakes and soaps in Tianxiang County, but judging from the current progress in the county, it seems that it won't be possible in a short time.
She still needs to establish her reputation in Jiangning County and Yongning County first.
If things go smoothly, we might even be able to do business in Yuanzhou City.
Thinking about it that way, it was time for her soap workshop to start operating.
The cake was so small that each person could only have a few bites. Xu Feng was still not satisfied: "Er Ya, your dessert is so delicious. It's fragrant, sweet, and soft. It's just that there's not enough of it."
"Didn't you say you wanted to celebrate your birthday? I'll make it for you then."
"Can't you do it now...?"
"If you say one more word, we won't do it on your birthday."
Xu Feng wisely kept quiet.
"Boss, these delicious snacks should be sold; they're sure to sell well."
Sugar was expensive in the Jin Dynasty, so the corresponding snacks were also expensive.
There are quite a few pastries on the market now, most of which cost more than 200 coins.
The ingredients for her cake are all readily available, so she doesn't need to spend any extra money, making the cost very low.
These days, a pack of pastries costs 200 coins and contains about 20 pieces, averaging about 10 coins per piece. It's something that only wealthy people can afford.
She plans to make it bigger next time, then cut it into smaller pieces and sell them separately.
"Young Master Xu, do you think it's feasible for me to sell this?"
“Yes, it will definitely work. I’ve never seen this thing in Jiangning County before.”
The only question is how much to sell it for.
The price should not be too high, but it also shouldn't be too low.
Finally, a price was set at ten coins per piece, which wasn't too different from other snacks.
Xu Feng exclaimed that the price was set too low.
Meanwhile, early in the morning, Princess Jianing sent someone to the county government office.
Magistrate Xu quickly came out to greet her: "Granny Qi, has Her Highness the Princess given any instructions?"
"It's nothing serious. His Highness really liked the soap that was sent yesterday during this hot season. I just had this old servant come to ask where the soap that the master sent yesterday came from?"
"To be honest, my son brought that thing back. He said it was made by the Song family in Tianxiang County. I thought it was well-made, so I sent it to Your Highness."
Granny Qi was taken aback: "The Song family of Tianxiang County? Is it Song Ning, whose nickname is Er Ya?"
"Exactly."
Granny Qi hurried back to report to Princess Jianing, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
As expected, Princess Jianing's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
She was just wondering how to talk to Song Ning more and have more contact with him, and here he is!
Princess Jianing could no longer sit still. As expected of her future daughter-in-law, she was indeed capable, even able to make such a fine thing.
"Quickly, pack your things, we're going to Tianxiang County to discuss business."
"Then...should we tell the young master?"
"No need. Granny Chang can stay here. If he asks, just say we're going out for a walk and will be back in a few days."
"yes."
When the carriage left the Xie residence, Xie Linzhou was not there. By the time he returned, Princess Jianing had already left Jiangning County.
Princess Jianing's first stop was the county government office, after all, she owed this matter to Zheng Gaoyi.
When Zheng Gaoyi saw Princess Jianing in front of him, he thought he was seeing things.
Her Highness the Princess... has really arrived...
Song Ning was in the house behind the main house, working on things to make soap and hiring people.
