The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 43 Multigrain Cake

"Three Wen per catty." The waiter replied.

"I want a hundred catties." Unexpectedly, soybeans were so cheap. Seeing that the beans were of good quality, Yao Yu bought a hundred catties directly.

The waiter in the shop was taken aback. He hadn't seen a customer who bought so many soybeans at once, but as a basic quality, the waiter in the shop quickly realized that he packed a hundred catties of soybeans. When Yao Yu paid, Xie Zhimo loaded the soybeans into the ox cart.

When the ox cart came out of Hehua Town, it was Yao Yu who drove the ox cart. On the way back these days, Yao Yu was driving the cart. It can be said that the technology has improved rapidly.

"Can you grind soybeans into flour later?" Yao Yu asked.

Xie Zhimo said, "Okay, I'll go back to the village."

There shouldn't be many grinders in the village now, I don't know how much Xie Zhimo can grind, but it's enough for tomorrow, Yao Yu said, "Then I'll go back and prepare dinner."

"It's still early, you go back and have a good rest." Xie Zhimo wanted to go out to run darts earlier, but seeing Yao Yu being so busy every day, he couldn't bring it up.

Yao Yu went home to rest for a while, and began to prepare for the next day's sale. Yao Yu wrapped all the steamed buns and buns, so that when he sold them again the next day, he would put them on the steamer directly, and it would be easy Not a lot.

After Yao Yu finished wrapping the last bun, Xie Zhimo came back, "It's only been finished for a little while, can you see if this is okay?"

Although Xie Zhimo is a man, the soybean flour is really finely ground, and Yao Yu suddenly became happy, feeling that his energy was restored, so he got up and mixed the soybean flour and fine flour together, then made a multigrain cake and handed it to Xie Zhimo.

Seeing that the color looked much better than yesterday, Xie Zhimo took a bite, the fine noodles were fine and the aroma of soybeans added, "This is more delicious than yesterday's."

Yao Yu smiled and said, "It would be great if there was corn."

For some reason, neither Hehua Town nor Shuangshui Village had seen corn.

"There really isn't one in this area." Xie Zhimo said regretfully, "Then I'll go and grind the rest."

"Okay." Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the preparation of the miscellaneous grain cake.

Of course, Xie Zhimo couldn't grind all the soybeans into flour in one and a half days, "It's getting dark, don't go." When Xie Zhimo came back with soybean flour for the third time, Yao Yu stopped him.

"Okay." Seeing that Yao Yu cared about him, Xie Zhimo couldn't mention how happy he was, "Then I'll go and make a table for Nuoer, there's only one last bit left."

"Go." Nuo'er had already gone into the room to study.

Finally, before going to bed, Xie Zhimo finished Nuoer's table, and Yao Yu spread the already sewn tablecloth on it, and the whole table instantly became different.

Nuo'er was very happy touching the table. He found that he liked reading very much, and liked the knowledge taught by these masters. He had already learned half of the thousand-character prose, and he wanted to finish it quickly so that he could read more books.

"Looks like I have to buy an oil lamp," Yao Yu said. In fact, the oil lamp is not too bright. Yao Yu is just worried that Nuoer will read books later in the future, and wants to prepare in advance. It would be great if there were lights in this place. Yao Yu can't help but imagine road.

"I'll buy it tomorrow when I go to town." As for what Yao Yu wanted to buy, Xie Zhimo wished he could deliver it to her right away.

The miscellaneous grain cake mixed with soybean flour quickly became popular in Hehua Town. The miscellaneous grain cake was sold out in advance every day because of insufficient flour. Because Yao Yu was willing to use fine flour, many people came to Hehua Town Will buy some here.

After doing well, Yao Yu found that with the addition of miscellaneous grain cakes, the daily income was two or two taels of silver.Fortunately, work can be done before noon every day. After returning home, Yao Yu began to prepare for the next day's sale, while Xie Zhimo went up the mountain to find some prey to sell for money.

The weather is getting warmer, and Yao Yu's business seems to be gradually stabilizing. Since the buns and steamed buns are prepared a day in advance, and these days, he has also gained experience in making multigrain cakes, so Yao Yu can handle it by himself.

"Go and get busy, I can do it alone." Yao Yu said, during this time, Xie Zhimo was afraid that he would be tired, so he always had to wait for a while before selling the prey up the mountain.

"Okay, I'll come to you when I'm done selling." Xie Zhimo put the hunted things on his body and left.

After Yao Yu waited at the same place for half an hour, he was surprised to find that there seemed to be not many customers today. Almost no one bought multigrain cakes, and occasionally one or two bought steamed buns and steamed buns. Yao Yu looked around and seemed to be Nothing unusual happened.

"Sister, can you show me the booth? I'm a little anxious." Aunt Chen said.

"Go ahead, it's fine." Yao Yu replied, anyway, she's not busy at the moment.

Aunt Chen ran away quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, Aunt Chen came back with a bad expression on her face, "Sister, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Yao Yu looked at Aunt Chen suspiciously.

"When I went to Neiji just now, I found that there were many stalls imitating you to make that multigrain cake." Aunt Chen said, "I looked at the price, and it only costs three pennies to add eggs and meat."

No wonder not many people bought it today. It is because of this reason, "Can Aunt Chen show me the booth?"

"There aren't many people at my booth, so go and have a look." Aunt Chen said.

Yao Yu walked around the entire West Market, yo, it’s really good, there are no fewer than five shops selling miscellaneous grain cakes, Yao Yu found the one that had the most queues, bought eggs and meat, and paid three pennies.

This flour looks rough at first glance, and it has no taste when bitten down. The meat has not been marinated successfully, and the fishy smell is too strong. Yao Yu shook his head. Although the price of this multigrain cake is low, the taste is much worse. I bought them all one by one, and found that the taste was very average.

Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her booth. Aunt Chen said, "Sister, how are you doing?"

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Why did you buy so many multigrain cakes?" Aunt Chen asked curiously.

Yao Yu handed these to Aunt Chen, "I eat them by breaking them, Aunt Chen has a taste."

Aunt Chen took a sip, "Bah, bah, this meat is raw."

Because the slices were too thick and not cooked, she may be thinking about the first day of business, and make it look more affordable. Yao Yu understands the hearts of those people, but businessmen must remember profiteers. For her, there is a Good word of mouth is the most important.

Aunt Chen suddenly realized, "Could it be that I said that the girl is not in a hurry when she comes back from a stroll."

After a while, someone came, "Why are your pancakes so expensive?"

Yao Yu smiled and said, "You know, you get what you pay for, and the fine flour I use for this pancake is of course more expensive, and not everyone can make this pancake. "

The man originally wanted to make Yao Yu cheaper, but he went to another place to buy it this morning. He was greedy for the cheap price, but it turned out to be unpalatable, and he was scolded by his wife, "Then give me two."

"Is there meat in the eggs with crispbread?" Yao Yu asked.

"I want shortbread and meat." The man replied, although the meat here is not as big as other's, it tastes really good.

Yao Yu quickly made two, and the man paid the money and left.

When Xie Zhimo went to sell wild things, he obviously saw other people imitating Yao Yu, so he planned not to tell Yao Yu this method when he came back, and went to Zhang Dehou in the afternoon to find a way to give these people a good start.

"You're back, let's go." Yao Yu was about to pack his things.

Xie Zhimo asked suspiciously, "Are you going to leave before the items are sold out?" Not to mention that even though he asked this way, he had already put them away for Yao Yu.

"Today, other people are also selling multigrain cakes. Three days before the opening, many people will definitely buy them. After all, they are cheap, but after a long time, people will always find that you get what you pay for." Yao Yu said, "Let's go, this I will go back just in time to pick up Nuoer."

Xie Zhimo nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, that's all, let's listen to Yu'er first, if the situation is still the same after three days, he will ask Zhang Dehou to help.

The two went to Shangyao Village, and happened to meet Nuoer after school. Yao Yu took all the roots of Nuoer, Zhuzi and Lizheng's family together. Pulling Xie Zhimo aside, he exchanged pleasantries, "Xie Nuo has great potential, and his future is limitless."

This made Xie Zhimo very happy. He turned around and repeated what his wife said to Yao Yu. Yao Yu disappeared without a trace because of the unhappiness of the miscellaneous grain cake in the morning. Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo sat in the front row, Nuoer and Genzi While discussing the contents of the school, Zhu Zi listened very carefully.

Genzi lived recently, and when he arrived at the destination, he was still a little bit unsatisfied, "I will come to see you when I arrive at the village school tomorrow." In the beginning, he was the one who taught Nuoer, but after a while, it became Nuoer who could discuss the content of the teacher's lectures with him.

Zhuzi looked at Nuoer enviously, "You know a lot."

"Brother Zhuzi, you need to communicate with your classmates more often. They enter school earlier than us, so you should speak up boldly and don't be afraid of making mistakes." These were all given to him by his mother, but Nuo'er remembered them all. Zhao is really easy to use, and he gradually likes the process of communicating with others.

Zhu Zi blushed suddenly, "I, I'm sorry."

"Just try more." He was embarrassed at first, but after he took the first step, he realized that it was actually very simple. After he finished speaking, Nuoer took the thousand-character text out of his schoolbag, "This book I have finished reading the book and I will lend it to you."

Zhu Zi was taken aback, "Is it possible?"

"Well, it's fine if you don't break it." Nuo'er handed the book to Zhuzi, and Zhuzi packed it up like a baby. After the Xie family learned that he was going to study, his mother found the fourth uncle, but the fourth uncle refused to borrow the book He also said that Mr. Li in Shangyao Village can't teach anything, so it's better to give him the silver and let him teach Zhuzi.Liu even directly expressed that Zhuzi's study was a waste of money, and asked Zhou to hand over the money to her so that Xie Zhiwen could take the scholar examination.

Obviously they all study in the same way, but Zhuzi doesn't understand why the whole family is against it except his parents. The second uncle's family is even more troublesome every day. Every day in the village school has become his happiest time of the day.

When they arrived at Xie's house, Zhu Zi got off the bullock cart, watched Xie Zhimo leave, and then went into the house with the book in his arms.

As Yao Yu expected, after three days, the stall's business returned to normal, and it was able to earn two or two taels of silver every day.
