The rebirth of the sturdy and charming wife strikes

Chapter 477 Illusion (24)

As Gu Nuannuan said, she looked at Aunt Li expectantly, and seeing that she was still hesitating, she frowned in distress on purpose and said pitifully: "Auntie, if you refuse to agree, then I really can only sell it." The recipe for the pastry, originally made by myself can earn hundreds of thousands of taels or even more money, and the best thing to do is a few taels or a dozen taels of silver at most, so thank you? It will be the same as selling it. What's the difference between a chicken with a golden egg?"

"Why is it like that?" Aunt Li was taken aback by what she said.

"Why not?" Gu Nuannuan said seriously, "Auntie, you only think that you have taken advantage of me by learning the skill of making pastry, but you don't know that the skill of making pastry is not as exaggerated as you said , almost no one in our village knows it, that's because they don't usually see it. But it's not a rare skill outside, as long as you look at people even if they are stupid, you just need to go back and grope a few times You can almost learn it."

Gu Nuannuan took Aunt Li's hand and said sincerely: "If it was really difficult to learn, I wouldn't be able to make it by myself after just a few glances, right? You can't tell me to hide in the room alone in the future God, don’t do anything else, just make the cakes, right? Wouldn’t that exhaust me? To put it bluntly, I’m afraid that even if I’m exhausted, the things that one person can make are very limited. Not to mention the money, it would be better to sell the prescription directly."

Aunt Li: "..."

"Auntie, I've made up my mind that the two of us will be regarded as partners in the future. At the beginning, when it's not only how much money we can make, each of us will get a sling of money per month as wages. If we make money, everyone's wages will rise. Every month I I will leave [-]% of the bonus for you, and naturally this bonus is not for nothing, you have to make up the [-]% of the capital after you take it."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Aunt Li with hope, and shook her sleeves: "You just promise, I really can't find anyone else to partner with except you, how can I rest assured about others? You see, before I didn’t even dare to speak out in front of my in-laws, it was because I was afraid that if they found out, they would lock me up and ask me to make pastries for them without a break. Not to mention others, I’m afraid You don’t have to wait until you really make money, you’ll just throw me over the wall and start a new one yourself.”

"They dare..." Aunt Li's complexion changed, she stopped talking halfway, she looked at Gu Nuannuan pitifully and sighed, "It's actually not because Hong Yi is not at home."

"Yeah, it's because he's not around that's why Haoyang and I are under the control of others." Gu Nuannuan sighed, but said disapprovingly in his heart: It's a good thing he's not here, otherwise if Yuxiao didn't see him clearly before Parents, brothers and sisters look like they are not the same under the control of others?But in front of Aunt Li, Gu Nuannuan definitely wouldn't say that.She looked at Aunt Li, "Aunt, I believe you can't treat me like that, right?"

"Of course not." As expected, Aunt Li shook her head immediately.

"Aunt, are you agreeing?" Gu Nuannuan was very happy.

"..." After a long time, Aunt Li sighed and laughed at herself, "Forget it, let me take advantage of it. Anyway, I don't have to worry about debts. If our family takes advantage of you, I don't know in this life." gone."

As long as you agree, Gu Nuannuan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is a matter of mutual benefit, so why do you take advantage of it? Besides, your whole family contributes, and it's not a big part of it."

"Nuannuan, I don't want this molecular aunt. To be honest, it is already a blessing for my aunt's family to learn the skill of making pastry. With that, no matter what happens to future generations, no matter where No matter how you can have a craft, it’s enough if you don’t go hungry. How can we be greedy and want your elements?” Speaking of elements, Aunt Li quickly shook her head and refused.

"Auntie, don't rush to push this element out. I heard that there are big shopkeepers in restaurants and shops outside. It actually means to make people work harder." Gu Nuannuan explain.

"It doesn't matter that my aunt's family can follow you and do my best." Aunt Li shook her head.

"Aunt—" Gu Nuannuan was helpless, she looked at Aunt Li speechlessly, and she could only smile and sigh when she saw her insistence, "Let's not talk about this for now? Anyway, I'll keep it for you, and you have to wait if you want it or not." Let’s talk about it after everyone makes money. We haven’t made any money yet, so let’s talk about it for the first time. It’s quite boring, and everyone will find it funny if it spreads out, right?”

"Yes, that's the reason. Then we'll talk about it later when we make money." Aunt Li thought about it, so she stopped entangled in this issue, and the two couldn't help laughing as they looked at each other.

Aunt Li has settled it here, and Gu Nuannuan is not worried that the rest of the Xu family will object, after all, this is something that is definitely beneficial to them.At that moment, Aunt Li joined hands, and the two started making rice cakes.

The steps to make rice cakes are quite simple. You just need to grind rice and a small amount of glutinous rice, knead it with a small amount of water, and steam it in a pot.Grinding rice, Gu Nuannuan doesn’t have a stone mill here, but she has great strength, so she doesn’t make many rice cakes, so she was impatient and sent the rice to Aunt Li’s house to grind it, so she directly found a flat big stone to hold it With great strength, it is easy to press the rice into powder.

The two started together, chatting and laughing, and quickly steamed the rice cake, lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of aroma spread out, which immediately attracted Luo Haoyang and Xiao Shizi who woke up from a nap. Seeing oily saliva all over the floor, I couldn't wait to eat it without caring about the hot hands.

"I didn't expect this rice cake to be so easy to make." Seeing the two little ones eating happily, Aunt Li's face became more and more loving, and she sighed to Gu Nuannuan.

"It's not difficult at all." Gu Nuannuan also smiled and saw that the two little eaters didn't forget to cut a piece for herself and Aunt Li, "Auntie, we made so much without using much rice, even if it's like this If you sell a piece for one penny or two pennies, you will make money, don’t you think this is very profitable?”

"Who said the money is too small? You only counted the rice, but what about the sugar? You didn't count how much sugar we put in here? If you really only sell one or two pennies, I'm afraid you don't even have the sugar. That's enough." Aunt Li is much smarter than Gu Nuannuan, and she glanced at her angrily and pointed out, "If you put too little sugar, it won't taste good if it's not sweet, but if you put too much sugar, it will cost a lot, so the pastries are expensive. It still makes sense."

"This is easy to handle. I have a way to solve this problem without spending any money." Gu Nuannuan slapped her head, why did she forget that white sugar is a rare commodity, even in the early modern times, a bowl of sugar water could be taken out To entertain distinguished guests.It seems that ancient cakes are expensive, and it may have something to do with the price of sugar.But this is easy for her to solve. The sweetness required for pastries does not have to be white sugar. She can find several common "sugars" that are extracted from them in the plants all over the place. .

"You can solve it, how?" Aunt Li was curious.

"I'll keep it a secret first." Gu Nuannuan smiled mysteriously. She knew that Aunt Li probably wouldn't believe her direct claim of extracting "sugar" from plants that can be found everywhere. He asked again, "Aunt, are you really not coming over for dinner tonight?"

"No, I'll go back tonight and tell Uncle Xu and the others about this." Aunt Li just shook her head, seeing that Gu Nuannuan didn't answer and was not obsessed with knowing the answer.

"Okay, then take this roast duck with you." Gu Nuannuan said while taking out a roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves and putting it in the basket, while cutting off half of the remaining rice cake and packing it hard Give it to Aunt Li.Aunt Li still refused, seeing Gu Nuannuan staring at her unhappy, she quickly changed her words with a smile, "Okay, don't be unhappy, just accept it."

"That's right." Gu Nuannuan was happy now.
