Chapter 184: Selling Bread (Part 1)
When Jiang Zhiluo walked towards the alley, there were groups of old ladies sitting together and chatting at the entrance of the alley. There were also a few children running around and playing at the entrance of the alley, which was also very lively.
But it’s different from the village. There are fewer people sitting at the door and gossiping here.
Most of the small houses have their doors closed, and if you didn't pass by and hear the voices inside, you would think there was no one inside.
During the day in the village, if there are people at home, everyone will keep their doors open, and very few will lock their doors.
Jiang Zhiluo walked for a while and found that most of the houses here had one or two courtyards, and they were not large mansions.
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it, then went to sit next to the big tree where the three old ladies were sitting and talking, put down the backpack and basket, lifted the cloth on top, and exposed the bread.
A faint fragrance also emanated instantly.
In fact, the bread is very fragrant when it is just made.
After being left overnight, it has become a little cold and the taste has become a little lighter.
But fortunately, the bread is added with spiritual spring water, so the bread still has some sweet fragrance.
In particular, the three old ladies sitting next to them and chatting suddenly smelled a faint sweet aroma of food.
They couldn't help but sniff hard, "What smells so good?"
"That is, who has made something delicious?"
"Oh, my grandson is too picky about food. We've changed several chefs but to no avail."
"That's right. You have to change your grandson's habits. Children grow faster if they eat more. Your grandson is a little thin..."
While everyone was talking, Jiang Zhiluo had already set out her goods and started shouting, "Bread for sale, sweet bread, fresh pastries...free samples..."
Jiang Zhiluo's voice was so loud that it almost scared the three old ladies next to her.
Of course, such a sound can pass through two or three alleys at once and can be easily heard by others.
"What, cakes?"
"I think it was bread?"
"That fragrant smell just now was coming from here?"
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"Yes, it's so close, let's go and take a look."
The three old ladies stood up and walked to Jiang Zhiluo. When they saw the various kinds of bread in the backpacks and baskets, they were all shocked.
"This is a pastry I've never seen before."
They had bought all kinds of cakes for their children, but they had never seen anything like this.
"Yeah, I don't know what it tastes like."
“Is this a new snack?”
The three people looked at it and asked curiously.
Jiang Zhiluo explained with a smile, "This is a kind of pastry, called bread. It's a new method. The taste and texture are different from the pastries in the store. It tastes sweet, but not greasy. It's safe for both the elderly and children to eat..."
"Madam, you can try it. It's free."
"You can't buy this bread anywhere else. It's an exclusive secret recipe. Even the capital doesn't have it."
One of the more elegantly dressed older ladies nodded and said, "You're right, there really aren't any cakes like this in the pastry shops in the capital."
"Can I really try it for free?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Of course."
She quickly wrapped it in clean gauze and cut a few pieces on the spot for the three old ladies to taste.
An old lady smiled and said, "Little girl, if we didn't think it tasted good, we wouldn't buy it."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled gently from beginning to end and said, "Don't worry, if the old ladies don't think it tastes good, they won't buy it. It's free to try, and we won't charge any money."
Jiang Zhiluo is confident in the bread she makes.
People in the technological age love to eat this thing, let alone in this era of food scarcity.
The old ladies were very satisfied with Jiang Zhiluo's conversation.
He also took out a clean towel to wrap it, took it in his hand, and took a light bite.
After putting it into my mouth, the soft and sweet feeling instantly spread to my heart.
The old lady's eyes widened in shock, and she took another bite in disbelief.
"Hey, this is really different from the cakes we usually eat. Are there red dates in it?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Well, some contain red dates, some contain red beans, but considering that some people don't eat these, some contain nothing. This flavor contains milk, and it tastes like milk."
The old ladies thought it was delicious.
The bread is soft, so it’s okay for those with bad teeth. The key is that the sweetness is just right.
It’s not the kind of dessert that tastes good after a few bites but becomes too sweet if you eat too much.
Why does this seem to get better and better the more I eat it?
"Oh, by the way, this bread slice is made with red bean milk flavor."
As Jiang Zhiluo explained, she cut a little of each and gave it to the three old ladies to taste.
The three old ladies were rather picky eaters and couldn't say anything wrong at this point.
Everyone thought it was delicious.
There was one that was the most delicious on weekdays. Looking at the bread in the basket on Jiang Zhiluo's backpack, her eyes lit up and she wanted to buy all of it.
At this moment, a skinny little boy ran over and asked, "Grandma, what are you eating?"
The old lady quickly handed the small piece of bread in her hand to her grandson and said, "My dear grandson, try it quickly. This is delicious."
The old lady was afraid that her grandson would be picky about food and would not eat.
The little boy was frowning at first, but when he smelled a fragrance, he didn't reject it.
Looking at his grandmother's cautious and expectant expression, he could only open his mouth.
The old lady said happily: "Grandson, you are so good. Come and eat. It's delicious."
The little boy took a few bites and put them into his stomach. A look of amazement appeared on his face. He said excitedly, "Grandma, I want to eat it. I want to eat it."
The old lady had never seen her grandson like this before, and said happily: "Okay, okay, grandma will buy it for you."
As long as her grandson likes it, she will buy it all for him to eat.
As long as he is willing to eat, it’s good. I’m just worried that her grandson won’t eat.
The old lady hurriedly asked, "Little girl, how do you sell these breads?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "These three kinds are five cents each, and these two kinds are six cents each."
Jiang Zhiluo also only made five kinds of bread.
If business is good in the future, we can launch new products from time to time.
When the old lady heard the price, she said without hesitation, "Ten of each."
She originally wanted to buy them all, but pastries are not good to keep for too long.
Jiang Zhiluo's smile deepened, "Okay."
She quickly wrapped it in a large paper bag, tied it with a string so it was easy to hold, and handed it to the old lady, saying, "Here you go."
The old lady watched Jiang Zhiluo put it on with her own eyes and knew that she was right. She gave Jiang Zhiluo two hundred and seventy coins as change.
Although the old lady was at the door on weekdays, she usually carried copper coins with her.
Because sometimes peddlers would come here to sell things, and if they found something good, she would think of buying it for her grandson.
The old lady took it and quickly took one out for her grandson to eat first.
The other two old ladies bought five of each.
"I'll buy some for my family to try first. If it tastes good, I'll come back and buy more."
"But little girl, will you still come here to sell bread tomorrow?"
They now know it is called bread.
