Lu Yue saw Shen Tingwan outside the crowd and waved at her, "Wanwan, you're back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the people around her fell on Shen Tingwan.
Shen Tingwan asked, "Sister Lu Yue, what are you doing..."
Lu Yue explained casually, "I made a few more at home and thought I'd share them with everyone first."
A military wife nearby spoke up, "Don't mention it, Sister Lu Yue's cooking skills are really good."
Lu Yue said politely, "As long as you like it."
The children around also looked at Lu Yue with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Lu!"
When Lu Yue saw Ranran and Jiang Yuzhi, she handed over the two pieces of pastries she had left over.
"Ranran, Yuzhi, this is yours."
Shen Tingwan didn't expect that Lu Yue actually reserved two pieces for them.
Ran Ran happily took it and said crisply, "Thank you, Aunt Lu Yue!"
Lu Yue smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After distributing the pastries, Lu Yue and Shen Tingwan walked back together.
Lu Yue said, "Wanwan, your recipe for making pastries is really good. Everyone says it's delicious!"
Shen Tingwan nodded, "Sister Lu Yue, you learn very quickly."
It's only been a week, but Lu Yue has already learned most of it and his comprehension is quite good.
Lu Yue waved her hand. After thinking for a while, she said, "I want to try selling some at the local market first. If it works well, I'll go there more often. If not, I'll learn more."
Shen Tingwan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you prepare the materials tonight and I'll go with you tomorrow."
Lu Yue smiled and nodded.
The next morning, Shen Tingwan got up early, sent the two children to kindergarten, and then came to Lu Yue's house.
Lu Yue has already started making pastries.
Shen Tingwan stood beside her, teaching her some skills from time to time, but did not help her.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Chen Tingwan understood this principle.
By the time the pastries were completely out of the oven, it was almost half past nine.
Lu Yue sorted the two kinds of pastries into small boxes, and she and Shen Tingwan each took one and went out.
After arriving at the vegetable market, I found that the number of people was now less than half of what it was in the morning.
Lu Yue simply set up a small table and placed the pastries on it.
However, the passers-by did not stop to look at the two people, and did not even glance at them. Only those who were familiar with them occasionally came forward to ask, but did not buy after hearing the price.
Half an hour passed, and Lu Yue began to doubt herself unconsciously.
"Wanwan, why is no one buying? Is it my problem?"
Lu Yue took a bite, somewhat puzzled, and then muttered, "Isn't this quite delicious?"
Shen Tingwan comforted him, "It's okay, let's wait a little longer."
Lu Yue nodded. While they were talking, an older woman stopped in front of them.
The eldest sister looked at the mung bean cake curiously and asked in a southern accent, "Big sister, what is this?"
Lu Yue enthusiastically pulled her elder sister over and explained, "This is the mung bean cake I made myself. Would you like some?"
Seeing that it looked good, the eldest sister Lu Yue lifted the lid and a sweet smell came out, whetting her appetite.
The elder sister was attracted by the smell and couldn't help asking, "How much is one pound?"
Seeing this, Lu Yue hurriedly said, "Fifty cents a pound."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the eldest sister, who was originally very excited, instantly changed her expression.
The eldest sister hesitated and said, "Fifty cents? That's so expensive?"
Lu Yue's heart sank when she heard this. She strongly recommended, "Sister, these pastries are all handmade. If you buy some, I absolutely guarantee that the taste is worth the price."
When the eldest sister heard this, the hesitation on her face did not diminish, but she planned to leave.
Seeing this, Shen Tingwan stood up and said, "Sister, you can try it first. There is no charge for the trial."
Hearing this, the eldest sister withdrew the foot she had stepped forward.
She turned around again and said, "Okay, I'll try it then."
Shen Tingwan carefully handed her a piece.
The eldest sister just put the mung bean cake in her mouth and chewed it twice, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Tingwan couldn't help but feel relieved.
It looks like it should be stable.
She has full confidence in the apprentices she teaches.
As expected, the eldest sister immediately said, "Big sister, your cakes are really delicious. Give me a pound! I'll buy some for my eldest grandson to try."
This sentence gave Lu Yue great encouragement. She smiled and said, "Okay!"
Lu Yue neatly packed a pound of pastries and handed it to her elder sister, "Take care, elder sister!"
Seeing her happy look, Shen Tingwan couldn't help but smile.
Lu Yue turned around and gave Shen Tingwan a thumbs up, "You still have a trick, Wanwan! I thought this deal was ruined again!"
She then added, "Just now, when I saw you take out a piece for her to eat, I felt a little sad. I was short-sighted."
Hearing Lu Yue say this with a smile, an idea immediately emerged in Shen Tingwan's mind.
Why didn't she think of it!
Shen Tingwan hurriedly said, "Sister Lu Yue, others may be worried that our food doesn't taste good, or because our food is expensive. We can set aside a batch specifically for people to taste!"
Lu Yue's face stiffened when she heard this. "Ah? If I take out a portion, won't I have to pay a lot?"
Shen Tingwan waved his hand, "Of course we don't want people to taste the whole cake. We can cut the cake into pieces! Try a small piece. Three or four people might only eat one piece."
Then she added, "We can't just sit there and do nothing. We need to shout out our products loudly and highlight the selling points of our pastries."
Lu Yue couldn't understand what she said for a moment.
She scratched her head and couldn't help asking, "Wanwan, what's the selling point?"
Shen Tingwan then realized that she had said some words that did not belong to this era on a whim. She frowned and racked her brains to think of how to explain it.
“That’s what makes our pastries so good!”
After thinking about this, Shen Tingwan slapped his thigh and said this.
Lu Yue instantly understood what she meant, so she said, "Okay! Let's do as you say, Wanwan!"
Shen Tingwan helped her cut some pastries and put them in a small box on the side. She also found a small paper shell with a sign saying "Free Trial" on it.
Shen Tingwan also thought of a catchy advertising slogan, and the two of them shouted it out.
"Take a look, take a look, the mung bean and osmanthus cake is free even if it's not sweet! Free to try, free to taste!"
Due to time constraints, Shen Tingwan could only come up with such a simple advertising slogan.
But the two men's shouting obviously worked.
Many people coming and going gathered around the two of them, and with the free tasting, many people were attracted over.
After a while, more than half of the cakes were sold.
