Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, so Zhao Ji will naturally take the opportunity to launch new products. What could be more timely than mooncakes?
At this time, mooncakes were still a kind of offering, specially used for sacrifices on Mid-Autumn Night. They were also called "moon cakes", and the whole family would share them after the sacrifice.
They are usually made very large, some are as big as plates, and some are as big as bathtubs. After all, the concept of family is strong nowadays, and a family often has dozens of people.
How to share food if it’s too small?
Moreover, the taste of mooncakes is relatively simple. After all, they are offerings. How can they be delicious? It is just a ritual.
It can be said that the mooncake market is almost blank at present, and the prospects are very broad.
Mooncakes have been made into many kinds of mooncakes in modern times, and the flavors are endless. The classic ones include five-nut, red bean paste, egg yolk, jujube paste, lotus seed paste, etc. The more novel ones include ice cream, snow skin, lava custard, pepper salt, etc.
The twin sisters Qiurong and Dongyun are very talented in cooking. After learning how to make mooncakes of various flavors, they also developed their own meat-filled mooncakes and flower-filled mooncakes.
Seeing that the two had learned it completely, Xue Huan let go and asked them to take their men to make more mooncakes in the next few days to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days.
After spending a whole day making mooncakes in the workshop, Xue Huan was already smelling of mooncakes when she came out.
"Come, try the mooncakes I just made." Xue Huan brought a box of mooncakes to the shop and greeted Zhenniang and the others.
Several people gathered together and one of them took a mooncake and ate it.
"Girl, this mooncake is so exquisitely made, and the filling is delicious. It's different from any mooncake I've eaten before." Xia Xue said.
Chun Yan: "Indeed, a mooncake this small can be eaten as a snack."
Zhenniang: "Miss, is this specially made for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Then should we promote it in advance?"
As expected of someone who has been a store manager for several months, Zhenniang now has a very keen business sense.
Xue Huan nodded. "That's right. Qiu Rong and the others will be making a batch of mooncakes in the next few days. Starting tomorrow, you can recommend our new products to your customers."
After explaining the situation, Xue Huan left the shop.
Not long after walking, a carriage stopped beside her. Zhang Ying lifted the curtain and said, "Miss Zhao is such a busy person. I sent invitations to your house several times to invite you to enjoy the flowers, but you never showed up."
When Zhang Ying said this, Xue Huan remembered that she had been attracted by the bead sent by Ye Diao before, and her soul was hurt as soon as she checked it. She slept for three whole days, so she naturally forgot about Zhang Ying sending her the invitation.
However, Zhang Ying, who had made the invitation, was unwilling to even get out of the car to talk to her, and had a condescending attitude. Xue Huan felt unhappy about this.
Any remaining guilt disappeared.
She said calmly, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these past few days to reply to Miss Zhang in time. Now that we've met, I'll just say this: I won't be going to the flower viewing event."
After saying this, he didn't even look at Zhang Ying's expression and continued walking forward leisurely.
When interacting with others, she always follows the principle of "if someone respects me one inch, I will respect them ten feet."
If others are disrespectful, why would she bother to cause trouble?
Zhang Ying didn't expect her to refuse so decisively. She stared at her in surprise for a while, then dropped the curtain and sat back.
When Xue Huan returned to the Zhao residence, she saw a letter on the table weighed down by a teacup. The letter had no signature or inscription, and the handwriting had no distinctive features.
Who put it here?
She suppressed her doubts and unfolded the letter to read it.
The Second Prince, Zhang Shun... Haha, she was wondering why Zhang Ying invited her to her house to appreciate the flowers for no reason. It turned out that she was using the excuse of inviting her to appreciate the flowers to create an opportunity for Zhang Shun to marry her?
If she didn't agree, would the father and daughter resort to some despicable tactics on her? Like drugging her?
For the sake of chili pepper, Zhang Shun was really shameless. Did she think she would marry him just because he was willing to marry her? Did she think she would take advantage of his age and rush to become a stepmother to a girl of the same age as her?
Why do you think it’s so beautiful!
Since you are so eager to get the peppers, okay, I will help you!
But then again, who sent this letter? And what was their purpose? Was it the Second Prince's enemies who wanted to prevent her from joining his side?
Xue Huan released the scent-seeking bee. The scent-seeking bee is now completely different from before and has obviously advanced.
His ability to track scents and trace traces is becoming more and more powerful.
After flying around the letter paper, the scent-seeking bee flew outward. Xue Huan entered the space and controlled the Five Elements Bead to follow it.
The scent-seeking bee flew towards a certain direction with a clear purpose, and finally came to a place that surprised Xue Huan - the Pawnshop.
A scent-seeking bee flew in and circled over Wang Yan, who was lying behind the counter, obviously telling Xue Huan that it was this person who delivered the letter to her.
Yes, the Pawnshop was engaged in intelligence work, but she had always thought that it was at most a civilian intelligence agency. She didn't expect that it would even dare to spy on the prince's intelligence.
It seems that the waters in pawnshops are deeper than she thought.
So why did Wang Yan tell her about this? Was it because of their friendship? Why didn't he just tell her directly?
It seemed that he didn't want her to know that it was he who sent the letter to her.
Now that she knew who the letter came from, Xue Huan didn't need to pursue the matter further.
After returning to the Zhao Mansion, Xue Huan began to think about the chili peppers.
Originally, she had not intended to keep the chili peppers in her hands all the time. Now that even the Second Prince, who was far away in the capital, had set his sights on her, and she did not want him to succeed, the only option now was to spread the chili peppers.
But how to spread it was a problem. She couldn't just give it away for free, right? That would be too much of a loss.
Xue Huan suddenly had an idea and thought, why not hold an auction, and the highest bidder will win!
Doesn't the Second Prince want chili peppers? Then pay for them.
However, before holding the auction, she had to inform Ye Diao in advance. After all, the contract they signed previously stipulated that she could only sell the peppers to the Ye family.
In addition, she also had to transfer the peppers in the vegetable garden of Shanghe Village to completely separate the peppers from the identity of "Xue Huan".
Otherwise, even if an illusion array is set up, it will still be a hidden danger.
After all, she couldn't guarantee that there was no one else in the world who could see through the formation she had set up.
Xue Huan immediately took the Five Elements Pearl to the vegetable garden.
After the vigorous development of Xue Qing and Xue Xiu over this period of time, the vegetable garden has undergone tremendous changes. The fruit forest in the east has begun to take shape, and the south is the livestock area. Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock are raised in their respective areas. The scene is chaotic yet orderly.
To the west is a large lush vegetable field, and to the north is a group of simple buildings used as temporary warehouses and processing plants.
Even though it was already night, Xue Qing and Xue Xiu were still busy in the garden.
As puppets, they can keep working as long as the energy source in their bodies - the spirit stones - is not exhausted.
