Why does Jiang Xinyu feel discouraged? It's just that she can't see any profits for the time being, and the sales may not go smoothly. She wants to sell it for two cents a piece, and whether it can be sold is a question.
Although she is discouraged, Jiang Xinyu still insists on continuing to do it. If she sells them all, she will make a lot of money. This dream still needs to be fulfilled.
But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the meat Comrade Chen Xiuyun brought back today will last for more than half a year. Jiang Xinyu doesn't know how much wealth she has, but she wants to make some money quickly.
Jiang Xinyu racked her brains to think of which of her skills could help her make money.
What kind of money is the best to earn in future generations? There are the most convenience stores on the streets, followed by restaurants, clothing stores, and maternal and child stores. The best money to earn is money from women and children.
The production cycle of soap is long, and it takes less than a month to make it until it is completely sold.
Jiang Xinyu thought about it and found out that in addition to making a variety of soaps, lipsticks, facial masks, and rouge, she could also bake cakes and make desserts.
Although there is no oven now, you can make old-fashioned chicken cakes in a pot, but the molds are not complete, and even whipping the egg liquid is a problem. The probability of success is not very high, and there is a high risk of failure. If you want to be 100% successful, you can only make egg cakes.
Jiang Xinyu fell asleep thinking about it.
She had no money in her pocket and no private territory. Comrade Chen Xiuyun had to let Comrade Chen Xiuyun know about whatever she wanted to do.
So after dinner the next morning, when Chen Xiuyun was about to read what her daughter had summarized for her and the junior high school textbook, she heard her little daughter was making trouble again.
Chen Xiuyun was speechless, "I need you to eat and drink? You come up with new ideas every day."
Jiang Xinyu shook her arm, "Mom, let me use some flour, eggs, and sugar. I'll make it and you can try it to see if it tastes good. Okay, Mom! I know you're the best!"
Jiang Xinyu acted coquettishly for a while, which made Chen Xiuyun unable to control her. This girl had never been like this before!
After all, Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to reject Jiang Xinyu.
She has a few kilograms of Fuqiang noodles at home, and she will make white steamed buns during the Chinese New Year. In the next few days, she plans to steam steamed buns stuffed with soy sauce, pork, and green onions.
However, when Jiang Xinyu asked Comrade Chen Xiuyun to agree, she was a little confused. What would she do without baking powder?
So she could only let Chen Xiuyun do the old face for her.
It takes more than ten hours to make the old noodles, and it takes the next day to wait for the noodles and hair to be ready.
There are jujube trees in the mountains behind the brigade, and some families in the brigade also have jujube trees in their homes, so red dates are not a rare thing in the brigade. Jiang Xinyu soaked some and planned to make a red date cake to try.
Chen Xiuyun didn't expect her to be quite playful, and it made her heartache when she saw her popping four eggs.
Jiang Xinyu not only worked by herself, but also asked Jiang Yuzhu to help her steam the red dates and make the date paste. She didn't have a mold, so she had to steam it in a bowl and a pot. After the batter fermented to 1.5 times in size, she garnished it with chopped red dates.
Her pot is big, and one pot can steam five small bowls at the same time. When the time comes to lift the lid of the pot, the mother and daughter are intoxicated by the instant sweetness.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu's home is in the far west, so the smell can't reach the village easily. In addition, every household is refining oil, so the smell of egg cake is really not that eye-catching. When the wind blows, the smell disappears and you can't catch it. to the source.
Jiang Yuzhu and Chen Xiuyun's eyes lit up when they saw the fragrant and beautiful egg cake being cooked.
The dough is good, fluffy and soft, dotted with red dates, and the aroma of eggs and red dates wafts out, not to mention too much.
After Chen Xiuyun vacated the bowl, Jiang Xinyu quickly steamed the jujube paste cake. The fire in the pot continued to burn. She turned around and entered the room to see the two of them eating.
"How does it taste?"
Jiang Yuzhu nodded eagerly, "It's more delicious than fruit!" Sweet after all, it's sweet! Compared with fruit, it makes fruit a bit boring!
Neither of them had ever eaten this kind of thing, but when Jiang Xinyu made it, it was very simple. It was just like steamed buns, except that the eggs were beaten, sugar was added, and jujube meat was garnished. Chen Xiuyun learned it after just one look.
However, the ingredients used, whether it was white flour, eggs or sugar, were things she would not bear to harm.
Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to eat it. It was so fragrant and so expensive. If my little girl had to eat this every day, she would definitely not be able to afford it.
The mother and daughter shared a piece of cake. Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied, at least it met her requirements. This was already the most delicious cake she could make under the current conditions.
Thinking of the things she had at home, Jiang Xinyu also thought that she could use melon seeds and peanuts as decorations in the future, or make pumpkin cakes.
The taste of jujube cake is more overbearing than that of egg cake. When it came out of the pot, Jiang Xinyu sniffed hard at the smell.
Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Yuzhu were reluctant to eat it. Jiang Xinyu quickly cut one into three parts and the three of them tasted it. Jiang Yuzhu had finished eating and was still savoring the deliciousness of the jujube cake. She didn’t even know that red dates were made into cakes.
So delicious!
Jiang Xinyu went to cut off another one without saying a word, but was stopped by Chen Xiuyun: "Don't waste such a precious thing. I will go to the county town early tomorrow."
Jiang Xinyu said dumbfounded: "Mom, you are so stingy."
Chen Xiuyun knocked on her, and it made her heartbroken to see her using flour, sugar, and eggs. How could she be willing to let her daughters continue to suffer misfortune.
After Chen Xiuyun finished the calculation, she made a total of ten pastries today. If she sold them for 10 cents each, she could earn twice as much. However, she still asked her two daughters how much the price was. Although the eggs were laid by her own chickens, the cost still had to be calculated.
of.
Jiang Xinyu understood the current prices, and then suggested one dollar and fifteen cents.
Jiang Yuzhu hesitated: "Is it too expensive?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Do you look good? Do you have an appetite? Do you want to eat again after eating it?"
Jiang Yuzhu nodded one after another.
Jiang Xinyu asked again: "Is it still expensive?"
Jiang Yuzhu still nodded!
Jiang Xinyu: “…”!
"You think it's expensive because you've never taken any money. The workers in the city are richer than us, so they can afford to buy it once in a while. As long as they eat it and taste it so delicious, they won't feel so bad.
Expensive."
Chen Xiuyun felt that what her little girl said made sense, so she dug out the oil paper wrapped with peach cakes and fruits from the house, and wrapped the pastries in oil paper after they cooled down.
Before dawn the next day, Chen Xiuyun got up. She wrapped herself tightly, with only one pair of eyes showing on her face, and set off holding the basket covered with cloth.
Jiang Xinyu really wanted to go to the black market to have a look, but Chen Xiuyun refused.
Chen Xiuyun walked from the brigade to the county for nearly three hours. She knew where the black market was and had experience in escaping.
Everyone who comes to the black market is like a thief. The seller puts the things on the ground. But Chen Xiuyun will open a corner of the basket when there are people passing by, so that people can see the yellow egg cakes and cakes inside.
Black and red jujube cake, this posture is helpful for escaping if something goes wrong.
As soon as the cloth was lifted, the sweet smell came out, making the man selling pork next door swallow his saliva frequently.
