Chapter 81 Pastry Business
Manager Xia said, "It was my fault for not properly disciplining my family and nearly harming your child. You have the final say on how to punish them, and I will not argue."
Manager Xia was able to show a clear attitude and did not shield his family members or relatives at all. Jiang Tangtang was satisfied with this attitude.
Although he wanted to cut the Gu brothers and sisters into pieces, he still said magnanimously: "It was just a false alarm. My Tiantian is fine. Third Sister Xia is still pregnant! She should go back and have a good rest."
Manager Xia said: "It's just a pregnancy. My son is in good health, so why worry about not having children? But marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. I think the child born by such a foolish woman will..."
At first, Gu Yunqin relied on the baby in her belly, but she didn't expect her father-in-law to be so heartless that he even looked down on the baby in her belly. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kept apologizing for her mistakes and begging for mercy.
Seeing that Manager Xia was unmoved, he turned to Jiang Tangtang for help.
This apology was clearly much more sincere than the previous one. Jiang Tangtang was naturally magnanimous and said that she would not pursue Gu Yunqin's fault, asking her to take good care of the fetus. She even turned around and persuaded Manager Xia, saying that it was Gu Liangping's fault and asked him not to vent his anger on the innocent child.
After a lot of trouble, Manager Xia finally let Gu Yunqin go and let her go home by herself.
After Gu Yunqin left, Jiang Tangtang invited Manager Xia into the house for tea. She brought out some freshly made snacks for Manager Xia to eat, and then talked about her plan to go into the city to do business.
In order to compensate the Lu family, Manager Xia said, "Your family is a peaceful family. When you go to the county town in the future, you don't need to report to me. If you have anything to do, just go there by yourself."
After hearing what Manager Xia said, Jiang Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief. Her pretense just now was not in vain.
After Manager Xia left, Jiang Tangtang went to find Xue Banxian and whispered, "Great Doctor, is there any poison that can cure leg rot? It can leave a person bedridden for life, but doctors can't even diagnose it as poisoning."
"I didn't realize you were quite vicious?" Xue Banxian's expression was odd. "Your husband is a bit cold-tempered, but you're really trying to murder him. You're poisoning his legs and leaving him paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life!"
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Tangtang said speechlessly, "Who said I was going to give poison to my husband?"
Xue Banxian chuckled embarrassedly, "You girl, you can't even speak clearly."
"It's obviously you who misunderstood!"
Xue Banxian was unwilling to admit that he had misunderstood, so he preemptively asked, "When did you start learning medicine from me? If you want to learn medicine yourself, do you still need to ask me? You are really at a loss for not having enough knowledge."
Jiang Tangtang's momentum instantly weakened. "I'm not free yet. Wait until I'm done with this. I still have winter melon candy to make!"
Xue Banxian's attention was instantly diverted. "What? Winter melon candy? Winter melon can be made into candy?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Tangtang calculated the time and estimated that it was almost time, so she took out the winter melon strips soaked in lime water and began to wash them with clean water.
Boil the cleaned winter melon strips in boiling water for a few minutes, then remove them and marinate with sugar.
Sugar was a precious commodity in this era, and Jiang Tangtang felt heartbroken as she used it. She thought to herself, why not start a sugar manufacturing business?
She planted a few sugarcane plants next to the orchard in the space. She was eating sugarcane at the time and buried the sugarcane heads in the ground for fun.
Because she didn't take good care of the sugarcane plants after planting, they grew thin and small. She originally planned to dig up those sugarcane plants when she had time.
But before she could do it, she traveled through time. As she traveled through time, the orchard underwent strange changes. The sugarcane, which was originally thin and deformed, now looked completely different.
Now each sugarcane stem is extremely thick, just like the high-quality sugarcane in the sugarcane plantation.
The only problem is that the quantity is small. If you want to make sugar, you have to plant it on a large scale first.
Being exiled here is actually not without benefits. This place is vast and sparsely populated, which is suitable for her to develop a planting business.
After the workers had cleared all the weeds and thorns in the forest, they continued to hire people to open up the wasteland.
Jiang Tangtang was thinking in her mind that she had already pickled a large bowl of winter melon strips with a layer of sugar.
The pickled winter melon strips need to be refrigerated for two or three days before making the frosting.
Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature in the room is not high. Jiang Tangtang does not need to spend much effort. She just needs to cover the pickled winter melon strips.
Winter melon candy couldn't be made yet, but the other snacks were already prepared. Before dawn that day, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shili drove a donkey cart to the county town.
After arriving in the county town, Jiang Tangtang first went to the teahouse where she had tea with Manager Xia that day.
"Brother Xiaoer, is your boss here?" Jiang Tangtang asked with a smile.
It was still early, and the teahouse was empty at this time. The waiter had nothing to do and was in a good mood. He looked Jiang Tangtang over and asked, "What do you want from our shopkeeper?"
"I have a business deal I want to discuss with your boss." Jiang Tangtang said.
"What kind of business can you discuss with our boss?" The waiter glanced at the donkey cart behind her and said, "We are a teahouse, not a place for selling vegetables."
Jiang Tangtang stuffed a small oil-paper bag into his hand and said, "Little Brother, this is something I made myself. Try it."
In addition to the more expensive egg yolk pastry, Jiang Tangtang put a little bit of various snacks into the oil paper bag.
As soon as I opened it, I smelled a fragrance.
The waiter hadn't had time to eat breakfast in the morning and was very hungry. He didn't hesitate to take the snacks and started eating.
After eating such delicious food, the waiter immediately became enthusiastic, "Young lady, what business do you want to discuss with our shopkeeper? Tell me first and I will help you weigh it."
Jiang Tangtang didn't directly talk about business, but asked, "Are the snacks I made delicious?"
"It's delicious! The young lady has good cooking skills. This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious." The waiter said sweetly.
"So, what do you think? Would it be feasible for me to sell these snacks in your teahouse?" Jiang Tangtang said, "Besides sweet snacks, I also make savory ones, and I can make some pastries as well."
The waiter frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call the shopkeeper for you."
After saying that, he turned around and invited the shopkeeper out.
On the way, the waiter had already spoken well of Jiang Tangtang.
Shopkeeper Pu invited Jiang Tangtang to a private room for a detailed discussion.
Jiang Tangtang took out the sample she had prepared earlier and said, "Boss, please try it."
The items here are more complete. In addition to small snacks like glutinous rice noodles, there are also egg yolk pastries.
This egg yolk pastry was baked in the farmhouse oven, and it looked very good. The shopkeeper fell in love with it at first sight, took a bite, and was shocked to the point of breaking through the sky.
He was born into a wealthy family and had seen a lot of the world, but he never expected that
There are such delicious pastries.
If this pastry becomes the signature pastry of their teahouse, why wouldn't it be one of the best teahouses in the city?
"My dear, how much do you sell this recipe for?"
