Chapter 167: Get lost, go to the clinic if you have a brain disease
After Xu Zhiyi bought the things, he returned to the stall and the three of them drove the mule cart back home.
In just a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the doorstep.
When Su saw the three people coming back, she hurried over to move the table. Seeing that the basket and three large wooden trays were empty, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhiyi, are all the cakes sold out today?"
"Almost done. There were six left. We waited for a quarter of an hour, but couldn't sell any, so the three of us ate them!"
"Hey, they're sold out too. You brought 90 with you. This is the first day of business. It will definitely get better and better from now on."
"Mom, the three of us sat for a long time at the beginning, and our butts were sore, but no one came to ask about it. Later, after the three of us shouted and launched the first day opening promotion, buy three get one free, then we started selling."
Su: "So, we lost money today?"
Xu Zhiyi: "No, for these cakes, sugar is the main ingredient, but I didn't adjust the taste to be too sweet, just the right amount. For these 130 bowl cakes, I only used 3 taels of sugar."
"With the added ingredients, the cost can be controlled at two cents per piece. For our small business, we can make a profit of two cents per piece, which is pretty good!"
"Today we are offering a promotion of three for one free. Although we don't make much money, after today, we will definitely have repeat customers. The influence will spread slowly, and we can make half of the profit on everything we sell!"
Su was stunned by what he heard, but in the end he realized that he made a profit and did not lose anything, so that was worth being happy about.
"That's good. Go home and rest for a while. Your grandfather and the others are in the fields and should be back soon. Mom has prepared lunch, and we can eat when everyone comes back."
Xu Zhiyi: "It's okay, we just had some pastries to fill our stomachs, we're not hungry."
After returning to the room, I counted the total silver I had earned that day, which was 252 coins. Excluding the six meals I ate, the total cost was 168 coins. After working for half a day, I only had 84 coins left in profit.
Alas, I don’t know if I can make more if I don’t offer discounts tomorrow. It turns out that no business in any era can make you rich all at once. A small business can only start slowly!
After everyone had lunch at noon, those who had worked in the fields in the afternoon went to take a rest and take a nap!
Xu Zhiyi took out the salt and planned to marinate the meat!
Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou rolled up their sleeves and planned to come over to help.
Xu Zhiyi pointed at the pig intestine in the wooden basin and said, "I'm going to give you two a very smelly task. Clean the pig intestine in the basin. I plan to fry it and eat it tonight."
"Madam, we promise to wash the pig intestines thoroughly."
Shen Changan moved a small stool and sat in front of the wooden basin. Shen Wuyou went into the kitchen to get some wood ash, intending to use it to wash the pig intestines.
Xu Zhiyi brought a large wooden basin over, put the meat that had been cut into strips, smeared with salt and soy sauce, and put it into the basin.
After everything is done, move it back to the kitchen and marinate for two days, then take it out to dry in the sun or smoke it, but she still prefers sun-dried bacon.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhiyi took his two brothers to the vegetable field, carrying half a bucket of wood ash and spreading it on the field. In ancient times, there were no chemical fertilizers, and most people could only use animal manure and wood ash as fertilizer. After watering the field, they were in a good mood looking at the vegetables that were growing very well.
Afterwards, the three of them turned over the vegetable patch next to them, intending to plant some other vegetables. They kept working until the workers who were building the house were ready to finish their work!
"It's 3 p.m., let's go cook. Chang'an will make the main course, Wuyou will wash and cut the vegetables, and I'll be in charge of cooking."
"My lady, you go back and rest, Wuyou and I will be fine!"
"Yes! Madam, my brother and I are also good at cooking, leave it to us!"
Xu Zhiyi: "No, I'll do it. I'm going to show off my skill in stir-frying pig intestines tonight."
After returning home, I saw a lot of gray vegetables left in the kitchen. I took two large sweet potatoes from the floor of the room and cut some pork belly.
The three of them were busy in the kitchen. They had a clear division of labor and cooperated well with each other, so dinner was ready quickly.
In the evening, there were three dishes in total, a plate of fried gray vegetables, fried pork belly with shredded sweet potatoes, and fried pig intestines. The staple food was white flour buns.
When Xu Zhiyi woke up early the next morning, he knew that everyone wanted seeds today, so he washed up and took out the soaked seeds.
Seeing Qin making breakfast in the kitchen, she took the seeds over and said, "Aunt, these are soaked vegetable seeds. You can plant them in the field today!"
Qin: "Okay, it's sprouting now?"
"Yes! So if you plant them, they will soon sprout!"
Su came into the kitchen and looked at the two large bowls of soaked seeds on the table. She saw that the small sprouts had already appeared. "Zhiyi, these seeds have sprouted. When we sow the seeds, we don't need to sow them too densely, otherwise we will have to pick out the seedlings after they grow."
"Mom, I think you can make some small holes. The distance between each hole should be the distance of a palm. When the seedlings grow up, there will be space for them to grow."
Su: "Okay, I'll listen to you. The two vegetable plots you planted on the homestead are growing very well."
After breakfast, Xu Zhiyi began to prepare the bowl-shaped cakes. He planned to make 150 of them and take them to the town today. If he couldn’t sell them all, he could take them back home to eat.
She was responsible for steaming, while Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou were responsible for removing the cup mold.
By the time everything was done, it was already noon and I couldn’t make it to the breakfast run, so I could only sell the morning run.
When the three arrived at the town gate, today was not a market day, and there were no soldiers guarding the town gate, so there was no need to pay to enter the town today.
There are quite a few empty seats in the stall today, but they are all squeezed with other people for a small space. After thinking about it, I decided to go to yesterday's position! At least there is space next to it for the mule cart.
Today, two baskets were filled with fifty cups that had not been removed from the molds, and three large wooden trays each contained about thirty cups.
It had just been put out for about a quarter of an hour when I unexpectedly had a repeat customer from yesterday come in to buy something.
"Oh, I bought three yesterday and got one for free. I took it back and my mother loved it. I want four today, two hawthorn flavors and two red bean flavors."
"Okay, Auntie, four cents each, sixteen cents in total."
"Okay, click on it."
"Aunt, it's exactly sixteen cents. Please take the cakes. Welcome to come again next time!"
"good"
Xu Yunyue, who had been cooped up in the mansion for two days, finally couldn't help but come out for a walk today. She had plenty of money now. She had asked the master for fifty taels of silver in the past two days. She had to come out and buy something lavishly.
Finally, he chose a big gold hairpin, but he wanted two hundred taels of silver? He only had seventy taels of silver at most.
Then, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I am the Wu family's beloved concubine Yue. I want this big gold hairpin. You can write it down and go to the Wu Mansion to ask for it. Don't worry! Just tell me my name and the mansion will pay you."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Xu Yunyue. He had met Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu. If someone came and said that she was the concubine of the Wu family, what would he do if the Wu family refused to admit it? She looked like a decent person, but she wanted to blackmail people! !
The shopkeeper snatched the hairpin from Xu Yunyue's hand and couldn't help cursing, "Bah, in the early morning, I actually met a mentally ill person who wasted my time introducing him."
"You...you...I am from the Wu Mansion..."
The shopkeeper interrupted her impatiently: "Get out, get out, I don't care which prefecture you are from, if you have a brain disease, go to the clinic immediately."
The maid who followed beside her couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at Xu Yunyue. The master and the mistress were well-known in the town, but it had nothing to do with her. Who knew a mere concubine like you? It was good enough that the shopkeeper didn't sue you for blackmail!
After being kicked out, Xu Yunyue was very angry and pointed at the shopkeeper standing at the door of the store and said, "You will regret this. I will never come to your store again!"
Shopkeeper: "Get lost!!"
