"We can probably make a few hundred." Shen Ruoxi thought for a while, "I'll hire someone to make an oven, and then go to the county grocery store to buy some molds." She said and walked out.

Xu Qinglan stopped Shen Ruoxi, "Go after dinner, otherwise you will miss the meal."

Shen Ruoxi thought for a moment, "Then I'll invite the oven maker to come over and set up the oven."

This one is in the same village. Xu Qinglan nodded, "Go ahead."

There was a man in the village who knew how to cook a stove, and he could make an oven. Shen Ruoxi invited the man back home and said, "Master, please build the oven here."

Shen Ruoxi pointed to the right side of the stove, against the wall.

The stove maker looked at the location and saw that an oven could be made here. "Okay, I'll get some mud and wood first, and I'll come over and make an oven for you in a while."

Shen Ruoxi asked, "Master, how many cakes can the oven bake at one time?"

The stove master said, "If you bake cakes that are palm-sized, you can bake a hundred cakes at a time. If you bake larger cakes, you will have to reduce the quantity."

Shen Ruoxi nodded, "I understand, master, go ahead and prepare. Help us turn on the oven as soon as possible."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and nodded, "Because you are so determined, I will teach you."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Xiao Kang'er with a smile, then opened the lid of the oven, fanned herself with a fan, and looked into the oven.

Shen Lei hurriedly pressed the button, "Then go find your second sister quickly. All kinds of flowers are blooming best now, and it's the time to collect honey."

She lit a fire and added firewood to the stove below, "Generally, it takes a stick of incense to bake. I'm not familiar with the performance of this oven yet, so I'll give it a try first."

The surface of each flower cake is baked to a golden color, and some have a thin crust, making them very crispy at first glance.

Shen Ruoxi touched Xiao Kang'er's head and said, "Come on, Second Aunt will bring you some cakes to eat."

Shen Ruohao was shocked. He didn't expect that Shen Lei had really collected all the money. He still didn't react, "My second sister said so."

Walking into the kitchen, the smell of cakes became even more tempting. Xiao Kang'er, who was following Shen Ruoxi, drooled out, "My saliva is going to flow out."

Shen Lei said proudly, "Don't be afraid, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter if you are tired."

"It's just the money for beekeeping. I scraped together ten taels." Shen Lei asked cautiously, "Is it true that I will give you ten taels of silver?"

The other girls also looked at her with eager eyes.

Shen Ruoxi placed twenty cakes and tried baking them first.

"Here we come." Shen Ruoxi walked quickly home.

"I know. Go and do your work. I'll call you after I burn the incense." Shen Suhong said.

Shen Suhong nodded, "I understand."

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Ruoxi's eyes, "Did you really collect the money?"

Shen Ruoxi used chopsticks to pick up the flower cake on the top layer from the oven and put it on a plate, "Let's all have a taste."

With a decision in her mind, Shen Ruoxi no longer hesitated and started baking patiently.

"Second sister, I want to raise thirty beehives, is that okay?" Shen Lei fantasized about getting rich overnight and wanted to raise as many as possible.

"This baked cake looks so good." Shen Ruohan took a flower cake into his hand and swallowed, "I'm a little reluctant to eat it."

"Okay." Shen Lei nodded.

On the wasteland, Shen Lei rushed over, "Shen Ruohao, I have collected the money."

Shen Ruohao patted Shen Lei on the back and said, "What is your second sister? My second sister is younger than you."

Shen Ruohan's evaluation was even higher, "Second sister, this flower cake is amazing. I think everyone who has tried it will definitely like it."

Seeing this, Shen Ruoxi couldn't help but drool.

"How was the roasting?" Shen Suhong asked eagerly.

The stove master is a relatively straightforward person, "Okay."

Shen Lei patted his chest. Although he was irritated, it was not objectionable. "I, Shen Lei, always do things from beginning to end. Since I said I would keep bees, I will definitely stick to it."

"Then come on." Shen Ruoxi gave up the small stool to Shen Suhong, "Just make the fire as big as mine, don't make it bigger, or the cake will burn."

Shen Ruoxi said, "Then make thirty beehives. After the beehives are done, tell me and I will teach you what to do next."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "Eat, there are so many more."

Shen Ruohao was stunned for a moment, then straightened up and patted the mud on his hands, "What kind of money have you collected?"

Shen Ruoxi came out of the kitchen and went to the wasteland to see how the medicinal herbs were growing.

Ten taels of silver is the income of a small family for three or four years, which seems quite heavy.

Shen Lei turned around and smiled flatteringly, "I would like to ask the second sister to give me some guidance on beekeeping." He held the money in front of Shen Ruoxi, "Look, I have collected all the money, can you help me?"

"What do you want from me?" As soon as Shen Ruoxi arrived, she saw the two of them acting sneakily, and they seemed to mention her.

The oven is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower part is the place for burning the fire, and the upper part is the baking area. It looks quite impressive.

The two came to Carpenter Shen's house and ordered thirty beehives. After discussing the matter here, Shen Suhong's voice came over, "Ruoxi, come back quickly."

Shen Suhong took one and put it in her mouth and took a bite. She immediately heard the crispy sound, "Ruoxi, it's delicious."

After dinner, Shen Ruoxi immediately went to the county town to buy other ingredients and molds for making flower cakes. The oven was not ready yet, so there was no need to worry.

…

"It's true. Let's go and find Carpenter Shen to build a beehive." Shen Ruoxi took Shen Lei to Carpenter Shen's house.

Shen Suhong stood aside and watched, her eyes full of interest, "Ruoxi, how about I light the fire?"

Shen Lei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, second sister."

Shen Ruoxi nodded, "Yes, but if you raise it alone, you will need to put in more energy."

Xiaokang'er rushed in from outside, "Second aunt, I can smell the aroma. It smells so good that my mouth is watering."

When I got home, an alluring aroma of cakes suddenly wafted from the kitchen.

In the middle of the afternoon, all the flower cake embryos were made and the oven was ready.

Shen Lei said flatteringly, "Wouldn't it be more approachable to call the second sister?" He turned sideways and looked at Shen Ruoxi, "Second sister, what you said about giving ten taels of silver to a beehive and attracting bees is true?"

Shen Ruoxi patted Shen Suhong on the shoulder, "It doesn't take time to burn a stick of incense. You can stop burning the incense for most of it, and use the remaining heat to bake the rest."

Xu Qinglan took a small taste, "With the fragrance of hibiscus flowers, the wheat fragrance of flour, and the aroma of baking, mixed together, there is no more delicious flower cake than this."

Shen Ruoxi listened to everyone's comments and said secretly, it seems that the ancients also accepted flower cakes very much, "Then let's bake the other flower cakes and sell them in the county town tomorrow."

Several girls nodded together, "Yeah."

Next, everyone got busy again and baked all the remaining flower cakes.
