Mooncakes with mung bean paste and red bean paste cost eight cents each, while those with salted egg yolk cost ten cents each.

As soon as the price was announced, the people who came to see the moon cakes immediately clicked their tongues.

"The Wu Ren ones only cost five cents each, and they are a bit bigger."

"Yes, your mooncakes come in one bite, and even children don't think they are enough to fit between their teeth..."

"You get what you pay for. If something is expensive, it has to be expensive." Su Yujin took a knife and cut the mooncakes into small pieces on the plate. "Try our Su Ji

Of course, we know why the bigger mooncakes only cost five cents."

Free samples were brought to your mouth, and naturally no one refused.

The onlookers each took a small piece and put it into their mouths, tasting it carefully.

The texture of the mooncake skin is extremely soft and waxy, as delicate as the expensive pastries sold in pastry shops. It is much more delicious than those hard mooncake skins that make a slight "click" sound when you take a bite.

The filling of the bean paste is also sweet and delicate, and occasionally has some graininess, but it is not obtrusive. Instead, it becomes more fragrant the more you chew it, and it feels full of aftertaste.

It can be said that when the mooncake enters the mouth, even after swallowing it, it still leaves people with endless aftertaste, and they want to eat more before they feel satisfied.

Although there are free food tastings, they all live in the same county. They look up and down and meet each other, and they always want to be related to each other. No one is embarrassed to take advantage of it.

So driven by the delicious food and greedy stomachs, some people have already opened their wallets and started choosing mooncakes.

"Five red bean pastes, five mung bean pastes."

"I want six green beans."

“Ten salted egg yolks!”

"..."

The moon cake stall suddenly became lively.

Just after lunch time, all the mooncakes were sold out.

Ai Cao counted the money he got from today's sale in detail, and said excitedly, "Girl, we each sold one, two, and five cents of silver today, and we made a net profit of one tael of silver."

"It's okay." Su Yujin nodded.

It’s not much, but mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

A little adds up to a lot.

And this is just the beginning. If mugwort and mother Liu are not yet proficient, if they become proficient and let Shuangye and Qingkui help, they can make two to three hundred mooncakes a day. It will not be a problem at all.

.

Su Yujin thought this way, and asked Ai Cao and Liu's mother to buy a few more cake molds, then go to the street to find a mason, and then temporarily set up a larger oven in Su Ji's backyard.

After receiving the order, Ai Cao and Liu's mother quickly split up.

Here is the mooncake mold that Ai Cao went to negotiate. In order not to delay the business, the price was doubled, but he asked to get it tomorrow.

Mother Liu also successfully found the mason from the street and asked him to start working in the afternoon.

By the afternoon of the next day, all the noodles, wontons and cold noodles in Su Ji were sold out. After the shop was cleaned up, Su Yujin led everyone in the shop to make moon cakes.

Wait until the next day and then set up a stall to sell them in front of Su Ji.

Because the mooncakes taste really good, even though the price is indeed higher than others, the business is still very prosperous.

After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival only happens once a year. On this rare day, it’s not impossible to eat something good. Moreover, mooncakes are just a festive gift and decoration. You can’t buy too much. It’s a luxury one year.

Dozens of articles are also acceptable.

Business is booming, the production of mooncakes has increased, and Ai Cao and others have become busier.

Seeing how hard everyone was working, Su Yujin asked Mother Liu to buy some fresh ingredients and come back to cook for everyone herself.

Chestnut chicken does not need to add too many seasonings, just cook onions and ginger, soy sauce to enhance the freshness, and simmer slowly enough to make the chicken pieces taste tender and tender, and the whole chestnuts without shells are soft, glutinous and sweet, and the aftertaste is

Complete.

For the braised fish, I chose relatively clean grass carp that eats aquatic plants. The cutter is evenly seasoned, and the salt and seasonings are marinated to add flavor. The thickness of the noodles wrapped around the skin matters. The skin of the fried fish is extremely crispy and fragrant, and it is poured on top at the end.

The soup was even more fragrant and rich. At the end of the meal, even the soup on the plate was dipped in the steamed buns and eaten by Qing Kui and others.

Steamed pork with lotus leaf powder, marinated pork belly slices, wrapped in fried glutinous rice powder, wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed in a basket, open the lotus leaves when eating, rich meat aroma, fresh lotus leaf aroma,

Accompanied by the strong aroma of glutinous rice, people are intoxicated by the smell. Once you take a bite, the meat is plump, juicy, tender and fragrant...

Su Yujin even asked a tailor from the cloth shop to come to her door to help Qing Kui and others take measurements and order new winter clothes.

Although the work in the past few days has indeed been harder than before, Qing Kui and others are very happy to have better food and new clothes, and work harder and harder.

Even when chatting before going to bed at night, I did not forget to express my feelings.

"If I had known that I could live such a good life after being sold, I should have asked my aunt to sell me earlier."

It was Qing Kui who spoke.

Her parents left early, because she was an only daughter and had no older brothers, so she could not inherit the family business. All the houses and fields in the family were given to her eldest uncle's family, but correspondingly, her eldest uncle's family needed to raise her and help her prepare a school.

For a good marriage, prepare a dowry for her.

But the uncle's way of raising her family was not very good. She could never finish the tasks assigned to her every day, and she had the worst three meals a day. She only ate one or two white flour steamed buns during the holidays.

Even seeing that she was rough-looking due to working all day long, it was difficult for her to arrange a marriage, and when she could not get much as a bride price, he simply sold her to Ren Yazi.

Before she was sold, she heard other people in the village say that if she was sold, she would have to work as a servant in those high-rise courtyards. She would not be able to eat well, not wear warm clothes, and would have to sleep in a stable at night.

, working hard every day, he would be beaten and scolded at every turn, and if his master was unhappy, he would be beaten to death.

Qingkui was very scared at the time, and she often worked harder because of her aunt's words: "If you don't work hard, I'll sell you."

Although life in the uncle's house is not easy, the uncle's family can only do more work, get scolded more, but not beaten very much, and eat bran vegetables and the like, but at least they can still eat enough.

But now, it's obviously very different from what she imagined.

During the days when he was sold, he had plenty of food, warm clothes, and a nice girl. His life was really beautiful.

Qing Kui was really glad that she took the initiative to stand up that day and caught the girl's eye.

"I don't think so. The main reason is that we were lucky enough to meet a girl. If we had gone to someone else's house, we would not have been so lucky." Xue Rong replied.

Su Ji's business was good and there were many customers on weekdays, so he would naturally chat about some gossip in the county during meals.
