Chapter 382 New Products in the Shop

"Oh, it's so delicious! Miss Fubao's cooking skills are comparable to those of the chefs in the imperial city." One of the servants praised, holding his stomach.

"Hey, you talk like you've eaten Chef Yu's cooking." another person laughed.

"I have eaten it before. If it weren't for... well, it's all in the past. No matter how glorious I was in the past, I would still be a slave now. But I am lucky. My cousins ​​are all dead. I was bought by the Jiang family and have never suffered any hardship. I have such a good meal every day. I am content. I just hope that the Jiang family will be rich forever so that I can stay here until I grow old."

The servant who spoke had sadness in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Speaking of this, I also remembered one thing. Two days ago, I went shopping and ran into my good friend who had fled the famine with me. She was sold to Ding, the owner of Ding's Pastry Shop in the town. I heard from her that the master of that family didn't treat the servants as human beings. They ate brown rice porridge every day, which was so thin that you could see your face in it.

There was no meat at all, and it was good enough to have some cheap vegetarian food. The master had a bad temper and would beat and scold her from time to time. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her half of the reward money the master gave me and bought her a meat bun. Well, when I think about it this way, my life is not too bad. "

Another maid sighed.

"Alright, alright, such a delicious meal, why don't you eat it with all your might? Why say such sad words? Our masters treat us well, so we should be loyal to them, especially Miss Fubao. Look at the dishes on the table, they are all made by her herself, and she never leaves any leftovers for us. You won't meet such a good lady in your lifetime."

A Dong's words resonated with many people.

Various words praising Jiang Fubao were heard in the room.

Three days later.

The Jiang family bought chestnuts from everywhere and prepared to stockpile them.

Not only Jiangjia Village, but also several surrounding villages began to go to the mountains in groups to look for chestnut trees.

Want to make a fortune.

If we were to say who made the most money, it would definitely be Lao Chentou.

He knew where the chestnut tree was.

So I took my family to do it first.

Although he originally didn't want to take the money, Jiang Shoujia just stuffed it into his pocket. After five or six days, he earned a full two taels of silver, which made others envious.

At the same time, Zhang Jinlan customized three seals at the seal shop.

They are all exactly the same “Jiang”.

Jiang Fubao asked his grandfather to write this word by being coquettish.

Although the handwriting is illegible, it is difficult to learn.

By then, even if there are counterfeits, they can be spotted at a glance.

Late September.

Jiang's Snack Shop started making chestnut cakes.

Before frying each piece of pastry, a little natural pigment is dipped into the stamp and printed on the pastry.

Before this, I was a regular customer who had eaten the chestnut cake.

I'm about to cry.

I come to the shop and ask this question every day.

It aroused everyone's curiosity.

Therefore, the chestnut shortbread has not been served yet.

It has already become popular.

Chestnut shortbread can be taken away, so on the day of the new product launch, a table is specially placed in front of the shop. Every time a pot of shortbread is fried, it will be brought to the table in front of the shop.

This resulted in a queue on each side of Jiang's snack shop.

The two roads on the left and right are like long roads stretching through the mountains.

The surrounding shops are envious.

"Hey, why are there two lines in one shop?" asked a man who was accompanying his wife to visit relatives at Yue's family.

He is from Chang'an Town.

So I don’t understand the situation.

"You may not know this, but the people on the left are buying chestnut cakes, and the people on the right are coming into the shop to eat." Kind-hearted people can be found everywhere.

Someone answered the man's question.

"Chestnut shortbread? What is this? I've never heard of it. Is it delicious?" the man asked again.

"What do you think? If it doesn't taste good, we'll just line up for fun?" Another loyal customer of Jiang's Snack Shop retorted.

Anyone who says anything bad about Jiang’s Snack Shop.

He was not happy at all.

"Madam, let's buy some and take them to your parents' home." The man was embarrassed but not angry. He said to the lady beside him with a smile.

"It's up to you. It's not expensive anyway." In the woman's impression, a bag of pastry would cost at most two dollars.

How much more expensive can it be?

When it was their turn, they were dumbfounded when they asked the price.

"What? One dollar and a half? Fifty cents? If I buy twenty dollars, wouldn't it cost one or two ounces of silver?"

Although the man is not short of money.

But he wasn't so generous. He would be heartbroken if he had to spend a few coins to buy some pastries.

"Chestnut shortbread takes a lot of effort to make. It's full of precious things. We can't make much money from it. If you think it's expensive, why don't you buy five yuan to try it first?"

A Dong and A Xi were standing behind the table.

One is responsible for collecting money and the other is responsible for packing.

The two of them have been learning in the shop for so long that they have become proficient in it.

"Five dollars is too little. Let's just take twenty dollars." The man gritted his teeth and took out one or two taels of silver. There were many people in his wife's family, with seven or eight children alone. If he bought too little, there would not be enough to share.

Forget it, I only come here twice a year, so one or two is one or two.

He thought to himself.

"Okay, I'll pack it for you." Ah Dong took the money. Ah Xi counted out twenty-four pieces of biscuits and put them on the wax paper, wrapped them layer by layer, and finally tied them up with a linen rope and tied a knot.

This way you can carry it.

"You, you counted wrong." The man was not one to take advantage of others, his eyes were fixed on Asi's hand.

Seeing that he took four more pieces, he reminded him in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, sir. Look at my poor memory. You probably didn't see the sign next to it. Today is the first day of the new product launch. Buy five chestnut cookies and get one free. You bought twenty, so we'll give you four."

A Dong replied with a smile.

"Wow, that's great." The man's painful expression suddenly changed.

I gave four pieces in total.

That's two hundred dollars.

So the couple happily left with the oil paper bags.

The line is still going on.

The backyard is bustling with activity.

According to the custom of Ruling Prefecture, many married women would return to their parents' home to visit their relatives before the beginning of winter after the autumn harvest.

You always have to buy gifts when visiting relatives.

So most people joined in the fun and bought some cookies as gifts.

Therefore, there was no time to fry the whole pot, so Zhang Jinlan sent someone back to the house to take away the frying pan that her granddaughter had asked the blacksmith to make.

Putting two pots together will speed up the cooking process.

"It's really strange. Why are there so few customers today? Not even half of yesterday's. Where did everyone go?" In Ding's Pastry Shop, Manager Ding stood at the door, looking outside in confusion.

"I guess it's the autumn harvest? That's why everyone is busy. There are not many people in the city." The guy looked at the people coming and going on the street.

Telling lies with eyes closed.

The rice should be harvested earlier.

So now the autumn harvest is completed everywhere.

"Nonsense, if those people outside are not humans, then what are they? Ghosts?" Ding Tao cursed angrily.

Because his voice was too loud.

Passers-by all heard it.

A few people with bad tempers stopped and glared at Ding Tao fiercely.
