Chapter 177 Academy Supply (Part 2)
Madam Cui nodded and said, "Mother knows how to braid twisted dough."
Mrs. Cui braided it into a twist shape herself.
"Is that all right?"
"Roll it together again and tighten it up."
Madam Cui looked at the shape and said, "It feels similar to the shape of a fried bun."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "There are other shapes."
“Make more croissants.”
Jiang Zhiluo also demonstrated and explained to Mrs. Cui at the same time.
"You don't need to add red beans this way. Just cut it into triangles and roll it up from the bottom, starting from the wide part..."
Mrs. Cui knew what to do.
"Don't tell me, it really looks like a cow's horn. It looks good."
"You definitely won't see this style of pastry in the market."
Cui Hejin happened to have a day off that day, so he bought some milk and then went to the mountains to chop firewood.
Mrs. Cui made bread first, and Jiang Zhiluo then kneaded the flour with milk to make milk bread, toast bread, and donut bread.
Then ferment it for half an hour, which is one hour.
Fortunately, there are many pots at home, so I can put more.
Knowing that she needed milk, Cui Hejin got up before dawn and went to Niushan Village to buy milk.
Someone in Niushan Village happened to have a dairy cow, so Cui Hejin went to buy some milk.
At that time, people didn’t drink much cow’s milk or goat’s milk because they had a fishy smell and people were not used to it.
It is also because people have not yet realized the benefits of cow's milk and goat's milk.
A big bucket of milk costs only five cents.
You don’t need so much to make bread, and you can also cook it and drink it.
Jiang Zhiluo wanted to raise a dairy cow at home and drink its milk, which would be good for her health.
However, the price of a dairy cow is at least more than ten taels of silver.
It may not be sold in town.
She only had five taels of silver in her hand, so she couldn't think about buying a cow for the time being.
Besides, it’s more cost-effective to buy milk directly.
Pour another half bucket in the afternoon and send it to my parents, as it will easily go bad if left overnight.
After everything was done, Jiang Zhiluo went to the bread oven in the yard to bake bread.
As the bread was baking, a sweet aroma emanated from it.
At this moment, Cui Hejin just came back carrying a pile of firewood.
He started chopping wood in the yard.
After a while, Liu Ting'an also came over with some things.
This time, Liu Ting'an brought a big bag of red dates and dried fruits.
All of them are bought from the market.
Last time, he took the chili meat sauce that Jiang Zhiluo gave him. It was so delicious that he felt embarrassed, so he bought some better red dates and dried fruits on the market.
I heard that some women and girls like to eat this.
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised. She didn't expect that Liu Ting'an would come to find Cui Hejin as soon as he had rest.
It happened to be when she was making bread.
Liu Ting'an smelled the fragrance and thought that Brother Cui's wife must have made something delicious again.
He felt really embarrassed about saying bad things about others before.
Ever since he came here last time, he felt that the rumors were not credible. Brother Cui's wife was both good and virtuous.
"Brother Cui, sister-in-law, Aunt Cui!"
Liu Ting'an entered the house very politely.
The last time I came here, it was just when the roof beams were being installed. I didn’t expect that Brother Cui has already moved into the new house.
It still looks like a new house.
Madam Cui said enthusiastically, "It's Ting'an, come in quickly."
"Thank you, Auntie."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Cui Hejin, he handed the food to Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for the chili meat sauce you gave me earlier. My classmates all like it very much."
"I was wondering if I could buy a few bottles from you."
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up. She gave Liu Ting'an two bottles of chili meat sauce, thinking that he would take it to the college to eat, and she didn't know whether his classmates would like it.
She had not originally intended to do the academy business. After all, Liu Ting'an was Cui Hejin's friend. She still didn't want Cui Hejin and Liu Ting'an's study relationship to be mixed with other things and affect the relationship between the two.
I didn't expect Liu Ting'an to bring it up on his own initiative.
Jiang Zhiluo said readily, "No problem. I just happened to have over a hundred extra bottles of chili meat sauce this time. If you buy any, I can give you a discount of 5%."
Liu Ting'an was moved and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed when she saw the red dates and dried fruits that Liu Ting'an brought.
These things are also good things. They can be put into bread when making bread.
"Can I buy them all?"
Jiang Zhiluo looked at his expression, a little puzzled, and said, "No, how many people in your academy have subscribed? Why did they all buy it?"
"There are more than 600 people in our academy, and more than 200 people I know have ordered chili meat sauce from me. Many people want to order three or four bottles directly, but to be on the safe side, I'll start with one bottle."
"After tasting it, they all praised it highly, saying it was delicious and appetizing, and they even wanted to buy some back for their family members to try."
When Jiang Zhiluo heard this number, her heart instantly became hot.
Jiang Zhiluo placed some firewood under the bread oven, clapped her hands, and hurried into the house to get a piece of paper. She said, "Write down how many bottles everyone has ordered. You can take these hundred or so bottles first. I'll make the rest and deliver them myself."
This is a big business. After it is made, it can be delivered directly without going to the town to sell it. It saves time and effort and makes money.
And after everyone finishes eating, they may place another order from her. There is a constant flow of orders.
When Jiang Zhiluo looked at Liu Ting'an at this time, there was more smile in her eyes.
Liu Ting'an looked at Jiang Zhiluo with great emotion and said, "Sister-in-law, you are such a kind person."
If he goes back and tells his classmates, they will definitely be happy.
Although his other bottle was tasted by everyone, it also made his relationship with his classmates better.
If Jiang Zhiluo was a man, Liu Ting'an would excitedly go forward and hug her.
Cui Hejin coughed at the right time to remind Liu Ting'an, "I'll take you back to the room first. You write at the table."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Liu Ting'an followed Cui Hejin into the study to write down how many bottles each person needed.
Jiang Zhiluo brought the red dates and dried fruits that Liu Ting'an had brought into the house and said, "Mom, I'll chop the red dates into pieces and add some in later. I'll also peel some dried fruits and put them in."
Madam Cui said, "These are all good things. Adding these things will cost a lot."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's okay, Mom. Our bread has different styles and flavors and prices."
"good."
"Well, Liu Ting'an hasn't left yet. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just use the things he brought?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll give him some more bread when he goes back."
She also wanted Liu Ting'an to help promote the bread.
If the people in the academy also eat bread, she can supply the academy.
In this way, with increased sales, I can save some money early and buy expensive medicinal materials to cure Cui Hejin. I can also rent or buy a shop in the town.
That would make it more convenient to sell bread in the store.
Moreover, the storefront looks high-end and the items are of high quality.
Also, when the weather gets hotter in the summer, it will be too hot and sunny to set up a stall.
