Chapter 154 Decided to set up a small stall
Wang Xiaohe took the bowl of cakes cut into small pieces and opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Sister Zhiyi, these are cakes?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "It's cakes."
"But why does it look transparent? I have never seen this before. My father works in town and has brought me cakes many times, but I have never seen anything like this."
"This is what I made, try it now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohe quickly picked up a small piece and started eating it. After finishing one piece, she moved on to the next one, and finished three pieces of different flavors in a row.
"Sister Zhiyi, I really like to eat this."
Xu Zhiyi watched her point at the cold berry flavor, then asked, "What about the other two flavors?"
"The plain white one is OK, but the one with raspberries tastes better because it has the raspberry flavor that I like."
"As for the last taste, it's a bit more sour than sweet. I prefer sweet things, so if you like sour things, you should like it!"
Mrs. Hu, her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Ye came back with a basket of wild vegetables. Xu Zhiyi saw the taster coming back and quickly took out another bowl from the basket.
"Aunt Hu, Aunt Ye, and sister-in-law, come over and help Zhiyi."
Aunt Hu: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Ye: "If you need any help, just ask me. I will definitely do my best to help you."
When she realized that they were just asking everyone to taste the pastries, she couldn't help but gently pinch Xu Zhiyi's cheek.
Ye: "You scared me, I thought something happened."
Xu Zhiyi: "Hey, Aunt Ye, Aunt Hu, and Aunt Huang, this is a mission. After you taste these three flavors of cakes, tell me which flavor you like best."
When the three of them saw the cakes, they all had the same reaction of surprise. What kind of cake is this? Why have they never seen it before?
Aunt Hu likes hawthorn flavor. She thinks the sweet and sour taste can stimulate the appetite. Aunt Ye and Huang like berry flavor.
Later, the head of the village, Uncle Wang and Doctor Li came back and tasted it as well. The head of the village and Doctor Li liked the hawthorn flavor, but Uncle Wang was the first one to like the original flavor.
There were three bowls left, so Xu Zhiyi mentioned another thatched cottage. The result was that half liked the original flavor, and half liked the winter berry flavor.
Finally, Xu Zhiyi made a summary in his mind. If there are fruits or something, put some in and steam them together. Young people will be more attracted to them, while sweet and sour flavors will be more attracted to older people. As for the original flavor, they are all available, but fewer people choose them.
So to sum up, no matter what flavor, everyone agreed that it was worth a try to set up a stall, saying that the taste was delicious and beautiful, and they had never seen it in a pastry shop, so everyone would definitely be attracted.
After making this decision, Xu Zhiyi immediately went up the mountain carrying the bucket on his shoulder. But when his family members found out, they all came to help.
Fortunately, everything in the space, as long as she takes it out or thinks about it, will automatically move out of reality.
Seeing that they had climbed halfway up the mountain and seemed to be going deeper into the mountains, Old Lady Su couldn't help but worry, "Zhiyi, could it be that the yam was dug deep in the mountains? You can't go deep into the mountains! What if you encounter a big insect?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Grandma, we haven't gone deep into the mountains. There used to be some on the mountainside outside, but I dug them all up. Now I'm taking you to another place. I haven't dug any over there yet."
"It's just a little ahead!"
Xu Zhiyi was walking in front, and when he passed by the grass, he quickly used his mind to move the yam out of the space.
"Grandma, this is it. This green leaf is the yam vine, and the yam is growing underneath."
Upon hearing this, everyone squatted down and looked at these sweet potato vines, only to find that they did not recognize them at all. No, it should be said that they had never seen them before.
Old Man Su: "Then everyone start digging. Don't just stand there. If other villagers find out, they will all come over to dig, right?"
Old Mrs. Su waved her hand and said, "Yes, everyone help. Those who have hoes can dig, and those who don't can pick the sweet potatoes and put them into the bucket. When it is full, carry it home and dump it in a pile on the floor of the room first."
After hearing what the two elders said, everyone hurried to get busy.
We dug until the evening to finish digging this area. There were huge piles of them on the floors of the four rooms in the house. If they were ground into powder, they would probably last for a long time!
Xu Zhiyi looked at the yam on the ground and suggested: "There are so many of them. If we grind them all by hand, it will not only take time, but also be very tiring."
"Why don't I go to town tomorrow and buy a stone mill? Even if I don't grind sweet potato paste anymore, I can grind other grains."
Su: "Zhiyi, you can make the decision yourself, we will listen to you."
Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou, who were standing by, nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Okay, it's decided then. I'll go to town tomorrow to take a look around and see if there's anything else I need to prepare."
The next morning, Xu Zhiyi and Shen Wuyou drove a mule cart to the town.
First, he went straight to a shop that specialized in selling stone mills or whetstones, picked out a small stone mill, spent one or two taels of silver, and it took three people to lift it onto the mule cart.
Then I bought some red beans and mung beans, one pound each, at five cents a pound, and white sugar, at nine hundred cents a pound. In fact, brown sugar is much cheaper, at five hundred cents a pound, but the taste of white sugar is better.
When I came out of the shop, I saw a fruit stall selling oranges and pears, so I bought four pounds of them, spending a total of 28 cents.
"Wuyou, stop at the ceramic shop. I'll see if there are any small bowls like that. The bowls we use at home are too big."
"good"
After Xu Zhiyi walked into the ceramic shop, he looked around and asked: "Boss, how small is the smallest bowl in your shop?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper took out a small bowl from the bottom shelf and said, "Girl, do you think this is small enough? This is the smallest one in the shop."
Xu Zhiyi's bowl was indeed smaller than ordinary ones, but it was still larger. He shook his head and finally found a teacup in a corner to replace it.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this teacup?"
"Girl, four cents each."
"Shopkeeper, I want twenty. Seventy-five cents for them. Okay. I'll take them."
The shopkeeper said, "This, young lady, really can't be any less. My shop is a small business, and I don't make much money. I'm losing money! But considering that this is your first time here, I will treat you as a regular customer, so that you can come back more often in the future. I'll give you 75 cents!"
Xu Zhiyi: “…” It’s quite a detour.
After leaving the tile and ceramic shop, I remembered that I hadn’t bought oil paper, so I went to buy it to complete my shopping.
"Slut, do I need your permission to buy anything?"
"Aunt Yue, you are pregnant now. Madam has told you not to eat random food from outside, or else... ah!"
“Bang!!”
"In the mansion, your wives have to live under my orders, and they send me supplements every day to please me. How dare you, a lowly maid, come to control me?"
"I dare not"
Xu Zhiyi bought some oil paper and walked out onto the street, but unexpectedly he saw Xu Yunyue! !
