Chapter 17 Rose Cakes

After selling mushrooms and grapes yesterday, Yuan Xiao didn’t go to the black market for several days.

She thought about making a bakery kiln by herself, and it took her several days to complete it after some modifications.

Wang Yazhi didn’t care about her and let her do whatever she wanted, but she didn’t know where all the weird things in her daughter’s mind came from.

After the bakery kiln was completed, she went to collect roses and extracted a large bottle of essence.

Then she picked some fresh roses and planned to make rose cakes to sell.

She packed the essence into several bottles, planning to drink it with water every day, use it to wipe the body, and later ask Father Zhao to make a large bathtub, so that she can also use it for bathing.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiao couldn’t help but sigh again. It was really inconvenient not to have a bathroom.

When Wang Yazhi returned home and smelled the fragrance of roses, she asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, what is this? It smells so good."

Roses, it is estimated that no one in the entire Dayang Village has ever seen them.

Yuan Xiao handed a rose to Wang Yazhi, "Mom, this is called a rose, you can eat it."

Wang Yazhi didn't believe it, "What? Flowers can be eaten?"

Yuan Xiao stuffed a petal into his mouth and said vaguely, "I'll make it into a cake and let you taste it later."

"Where did you get it from? How do you know this kind of flower?"

Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, "Uncle Tan told me, I picked it from the mountain."

Wang Yazhi dispelled her doubts. Tan Yanan and the others came from the capital, so of course they knew everything.

"The captain will ask people to build a pig shed in two days, and we have to treat them to a meal."

Wang Yazhi wanted to take two piglets from the team to raise, and Yuan Xiao didn't agree at first, but if Wang Yazhi didn't raise pigs, she would have to work in the fields, and Yuan Xiao thought it was better to raise pigs.

Find someone to build a pig shed, and they can also build a bathroom. They have enough money.

After telling Wang Yazhi, Yuan Xiao took the money to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy flour to make rose cakes.

Rose cakes don't go bad for a while, so they can be made in advance.

The fragrant rose cakes came out of the bakery, and Wang Yazhi couldn't help but praise them, "Is this made from that flower? How can this flower be so delicious?"

It was the first time that Yuan Xiao made rose cakes. He made them with a trial mentality, but he didn't expect that they were really delicious.

"I'll give a few pieces to Uncle Tan and the others to try."

Xue Yuanling was very happy whenever she saw Yuan Xiao coming over.

Because whenever Yuan Xiao came over, he would bring good things.

It was really magical. After eating the things Yuan Xiao gave them, they felt that their old ailments caused by being sent to the countryside were much better.

"Auntie, I made some rose cakes and brought them over for you to try."

Xue Yuanling knew about roses, but she really didn't know that roses could be made into food.

She tasted a piece out of curiosity. It was sweet and crispy. After eating it, her breath was filled with the fragrance of roses, refreshing.

She didn't have a chance to comment. After eating one piece, she couldn't help wanting to eat the second piece.

When she had eaten three pieces, reason pulled her back. If she ate more, Lao Tan would have nothing to eat!

She wiped her mouth a little embarrassedly, "Xiaoxiao, this rose pastry you made is so delicious, Auntie couldn't help it."

Yuan Xiao didn't need her to comment. Seeing that she had eaten so much, she knew everything.

She smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll send you some later."

Xue Yuanling didn't dare to ask for more, and hurriedly said, "These are enough, you can keep the rest to sell!"

Yuan Xiao chatted with her for a while before rushing home.

She bought ten kilograms of flour and didn't finish making the flour until it was almost dark. She wiped the sweat off her forehead

. She used to sell fresh vegetables, but this was the first time she sold her own finished products, so she didn’t know how they would turn out.

After she wrapped the rose cakes with oil paper, she went to the kitchen to clean up and went to sleep. The next morning, Yuan Xiao carried the rose cakes on her back and went to the county town to sell them. When she took out the rose cakes, many people were curious, but when they were asked about the price, they finally backed off. Yuan Xiao’s price was one yuan per pack, and there were only five rose cakes in a pack. How expensive was this price? You know, on average, one rose cake costs two cents, and two cents is enough to buy more than a pound of meat! "Xiao'er, this is too expensive. We can't sell it." Zhao Fubing said with a frown. He felt a toothache when he heard the price. Yuan Xiao frowned and shook her head, refusing to lower the price. She took out a piece of rose pastry, broke it into several small pieces, and placed it on oil paper for customers to try. She opened several packages of rose pastry and piled them together. One pile was sold by package, and the other was sold individually. The effect was quite good. For a while, the piles of rose pastry wrapped in oil paper were slowly decreasing. After tasting the pastry, many customers thought it was really delicious and couldn't help but buy it. Zhao Fubing was stunned when he saw Yuan Xiao smiling and collecting the money. He even forgot about the cigarette in his hand. My goodness, it's too easy to make money here! As usual, Yuan Xiao didn't sell all of them. She gave some of the rest to Zhao Fubing and some to the old lady of the He family. After delivering the things, she went to the store to buy some meat and vegetables before carrying the basket back home. Worried that the money would be lost, she wrapped it in several layers and put it in the pocket of her inner coat. Someone came to build a pig shed and a bathroom today, and Yuan Xiao was worried that she would not be able to go back in time to help make lunch, so she got off the car and took a shortcut back. But this shortcut made Yuan Xiao regret it. The man who stopped her in front of her was Liu Zhaodi's nephew, Liu Yang. "Yuan Xiao, go home! Hey, you bought so many good things. Did you know that your brother was coming to your house for dinner?" Liu Yang was wearing a white shirt that had not been washed for several days. There was brown dirt on the collar, and the whole person exuded a greasy feeling. Yuan Xiao said with a cold face, "Brother? You are old enough to be my father!"

Liu Yang smiled obscenely and rubbed his hands, "If you are willing to call me daddy, I can also treat it as a hooligan in bed."

He successfully disgusted Yuan Xiao, and Yuan Xiao said, "If you don't get out of here, I will go to the captain and sue you for hooliganism!"

In this era, hooliganism can be very serious and you will have to go to jail!

But Liu Yang looked fearless, "Your grandma has accepted my gift money, and you will be my wife in the future! But I know you don't want to get married. When I have sex with you here, you will have no choice but to get married!"

Yuan Xiao sighed, but she also became defensive in her heart.

She never thought that Liu Yang would be so bold and dare to make a move here.

Although it is a new society now, we must get rid of the bad habits of the old society.

But it was the 1970s, and people's ideas were still relatively old-fashioned.

If something happened to her, she would probably be forced to marry Liu Yang.

Thinking of this, she panicked and picked up stones to throw at Liu Yang. Her legs were flying and she ran forward quickly.

At this moment, Yuan Xiao only hated that she only had two legs and that she couldn't run fast enough because of her small body.

This shortcut home was close to the river, and the road was narrow and unsafe.

Liu Yang and she ran one after the other. Yuan Xiao hurriedly shouted for help and kept looking back. She was almost caught several times, but she had to escape in panic.

Until she saw a tall figure in front of her, hope rose in her eyes, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw!

"Gu Lanting! Help!"
