Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 12 Expanding Your Business

On this day, Yang Xiaoqian first came to pick things up, and then the big house came to cheat money. Shen Yunjin was a little tired after tossing around. She held her forehead helplessly, thinking what kind of bad luck she had encountered. It was really sad. It's better to rest earlier today, don't let these few irrelevant people affect tomorrow's affairs.

Tomorrow she will make more snacks to sell.

……

It was a good night's dream, Shen Yunjin woke up naturally after sleeping, it was already full light, and it was getting late, so she hurriedly got up and started preparing things for sale, while Yun Wen and Jing Er also got dressed to help her.

Pumpkin pie is easy to make, and Yunwen and Jinger have already learned it. Shen Yunjin handed over the task of making pumpkin pie to her younger siblings, while she started to make Shaqima herself.

In the past, she often made Shaqima at home, which was delicious, hygienic and cheap, so making Shaqima was just a piece of cake for her.

Shen Yunjin took out the eggs she bought yesterday, beat a few eggs and mixed them into the cornmeal, then kneaded them into dough, rolled the dough into long pieces, and then she cut the dried dough into strips, one piece One neatly placed on the table.

Put oil in the pan, heat the oil, put the noodles into the oil pan and deep-fry until golden brown, then put them into a large bowl.Immediately after that, clean the pot, put in water and sugar, and boil the syrup until the syrup can stick to the chopsticks and the hands can be drawn.

Finally, put the fried noodles into the syrup pot, mix them well, pour them into a large basin brushed with oil, compact them, let them cool down and then cut them into pieces, and you're done.

After working for a long time, Shen Yunjin finally cut up the Shaqima, which was fast on one side and fast on the other. The Shaqima was golden yellow and smelled very sweet.

After tasting a piece, Jing Er exclaimed that it was delicious, and asked, "Sister, what is this? I've never seen it before, and I've never heard of it. It's really delicious."

"This is Sha Qi..." Shen Yunjin was about to say the name, but after thinking about it, she changed her words again, "I came up with this dessert myself, so let's call it Shenji Signature Cake."

Shaqima is something unique to the Qing Dynasty, and people today have never eaten or seen it, so in order not to arouse suspicion, she had to say that it was created by herself, so as not to be unclear in the future.

But since it is said that she created it herself, it is better to change the name, "Shen Ji Signature Cake" sounds loud and easy to remember, so it is better to call it this.

"Sister, you are amazing." Yunwen said thoughtfully, "This signature cake is delicious, and only my sister can make it. It will definitely sell well."

Shen Yunjin is also very confident in her "Shen Ji Signature Cake", and then she made some purple potato balls and sweet potato cakes, and decided to start selling these four dim sums today, "Shen Ji Signature Cake", "Shen Ji Purple Cake" Potato Balls", "Sam Kee Sweet Potato Cake" and "Sam Kee Pumpkin Cake".

After getting ready, Shen Yunjin took dim sum and went to the town with her sister and brother. She still set up a stall in the old place, but the difference was that this time she also specially made a sign, which was made of wooden boards , with the two big characters "Shen Ji" written in ink on it, and the name and price of the snacks sold are written below.

This big sign is placed next to the booth, and people passing by can see it at a glance.

"Sister, if we don't get a brand, can't we sell it? This brand is not light, so it's inconvenient to carry it around." Jing Er puzzled.

Yunwen nodded his nose, and said, "You are so stupid, you don't even know this, which one of those big shops doesn't have a store name, and which one doesn't have a signboard? Although our stall is small, But wouldn’t it be easier to attract customers with a signboard?”

Shen Yunjin smiled and nodded, "Yunwen is right. Having a signboard can make it easier for others to see us, and it can also make it easy for people to remember us. If the guests feel good after tasting, they will remember the dim sum. Ours "Shen Ji" can be regarded as a brand."

"Brand..." Jing Er murmured. He didn't understand the meaning of the word, but it probably meant something similar to the brand. Although he didn't ask further questions, he knew that the "Shen Ji" signboard meant a lot to them. There are many benefits.

After a while, people soon came to buy the signature cakes. At the same time, the sales of other snacks were also good. There were more and more customers, including many repeat customers. The smiles on Shen Yunjin's face also increased.

Before noon, her signature cakes and purple sweet potato balls were all sold out.There are only a few pieces of sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie left.

It didn't surprise Shen Yunjin that the sale was so fast. She had already guessed that the Shaqima she made would sell well, and the purple potato balls were also her specialty. They were exquisite and delicious. It is normal to have a lot of people.

Shen Yunjin thought, if it takes another quarter of an hour to sell, the siblings can close the stall and go home to count the money.

At this time, there was a commotion not far ahead, and there was a scream from the crowd. Shen Yunjin and Yunwen Jing'er couldn't help looking forward curiously, wanting to see what happened.

At first, Shen Yunjin only thought that something dangerous happened before, such as someone was injured, but later, she heard some different voices.

Passers-by around are discussing with each other.

"Why did he come out again? I'm really unlucky. I can meet such a person when I come to the market to buy a fish."

"Don't look, don't look, just hide, he is coming this way."

……

Shen Yunjin looked at the pedestrians who were running away one after another, and felt very strange, what were they hiding from.

She asked an old woman next to her, "I want to ask you, do you know what's going on now? Why are everyone walking with their heads bowed, as if they were hiding something terrible."

"Why, girl, you don't know? You must have just come to town." The aunt looked at her in surprise.

Shen Yunjin nodded, "Yeah, I just came to the town to sell things not long ago, and I don't understand many things. Do you know what's wrong?"

The aunt explained, "You just came here. It's no wonder you don't know. Let me tell you, just keep your head down for a while and don't look forward. It's not a scary thing that everyone is hiding now." , and a terrible person, an ominous person."

Ominous person?When Shen Yunjin heard these words, she felt that it must be caused by ancient feudal superstition.

The aunt continued, "There is a rich family named Zhou in our town. Although the second son of the Zhou family is born well and rich, he is extremely ugly. He is so ugly that he has to wear a veil to go out. Otherwise, it will scare people. He wears a black veil all the year round, which is very scary, like a crow, so everyone in the town regards him as a crow and thinks he is an ominous person. Wait a minute He is about to walk over here, so don't look at him, don't get ominous."
