Chapter 107

After Niu Da was taken away, Niu Da's daughter-in-law ran to Ruan's house to make a fuss. Ruan Yueling tried to reason with her at first, but Ruan Feng and Ruan Wu kicked her out when she saw that it didn't work.

She never came to trouble again after this incident.

……

Pei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been seriously studying the pastry recipe that Lu Qingling left for Ah Li recently.

They want to make it and sell it in the county to see if they can make some money. If the business is good in the future, they want to open a pastry shop.

Lin Changlu saw that they were so motivated, and it was impossible for his family to do these things without the conditions before. Now that they have the conditions, he followed them to do it.

Later, they were not asked to work in the fields, and they were hired to work when they were too busy.

Ah Li's main task is to try food for them, until she says it's ok, Pei and the others start to practice the next one.

Silang's task is to eat the leftover pastries and go to the mountains to collect some materials needed to make pastries after school.

Thinking that it would not be easy to sell when they first set up a stall, they only made three kinds.

They are sweet-scented osmanthus square cake, peach blossom cake, and sweet potato bean paste cake.

Osmanthus square cake is soft and fragrant, with moderate sweetness.

Peach Blossom Crisp looks like a peach blossom, with lard added inside, the taste is crispy and rich in residue.

The sweet potato bean cake is golden in color and looks like a moon cake, soft, glutinous, sweet and chewy.

The three pastries have different flavors, and fifty of each were made.

They deliberately chose a market day to sell pastries in the city.

Pei's third mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up to work before dawn.

Ah Li said that he was going to collect money for them and also went with him, so he also got up early.

After she finished washing, Mrs. Pei happened to put the last basket on the carriage.

"Li Li, come and have a few snacks, we won't make another breakfast."

"Okay girl."

Ah Li sat obediently at the table and ate a piece of sweet potato bean cake. The soft and sweet taste made her want to eat two more pieces.

After breakfast they set out for the city.

At this time, the sky is slightly bright, and the summer morning is extremely cool.

Because there were too many things in the carriage, they couldn't all go. Yan Shi followed Lin Darong and Ah Li as agreed before.

Mrs. Pei is getting old, so she has to take a rest at noon after getting up in the morning and working hard.

Mrs. Zhang is shy and not very good at greeting guests.

Yan's generosity and cheerfulness are the most suitable candidates.

Lin Darong got into the carriage, his task today was to be a coachman and carry things.

Then Ah Li and Yan Shi also got into the carriage.

"You guys come back early when it's sold out, it doesn't matter if it's not sold out, take it back and let's eat by ourselves."

Pei Shi was afraid that they would be under pressure for the first time, so she spoke reassuring words to the carriage.

Mrs. Pei lifted the curtain of the car, "Okay mother, you have worked hard all morning, go back to the house and rest."

Ah Li also came over and said, "Mother, don't worry, Li Li will definitely be sold out and come back."

Pei's smile showed crow's feet, and he waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly!

When they arrived in the city, it was already dawn, and there were many people coming and going in and out of the city on market days.

Lin Darong drove the carriage to the market and found an open space to unload the things first.

Then I went to drive the carriage to a place specially guarded, and gave two pennies to the guarded uncle.

While Yan Shi and Ah Li were waiting for Lin Darong, two yamen servants came over.

"Have you rented a booth yet?"

Yan immediately said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, you two big brothers, it's our first time to set up a stall, and we don't understand the situation. I wanted to ask someone for advice, but I didn't expect to meet you two. You are really us. benefactor!"

After speaking, Yan opened the steamer, took out two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus square cakes and handed them to them.

"The little woman, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made some snacks and sold them to my sister-in-law, and I asked the two elder brothers to taste them for us."

Her actions made the yamen servant who wanted to reprimand her swallow her words.

I just smelled the aroma of the pastry and felt that it should be good, so I took the pastry and tasted it.

One of the yamen servants said: "The taste is not bad. You go to the manager in front and rent a stall. It costs five yuan a day. If you don't rent a stall, we will be kicked out immediately."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your reminder, Brother Cha, we will rent a booth right away."

The two yamen servants waved their hands and left after eating the cakes in their hands.

Just at this time Lin Darong also came back.

He saw a yamen servant talking to Yan and the others from a distance, thinking that he was in some trouble.

As a result, he left when he arrived at the house.

Lin Darong hurriedly asked Yan: "Second brother and sister, what did those two officials do just now?"

Yan Shi told him about renting a booth.

Only then did Lin Darong feel relieved, and told them to wait here while he went to rent a booth.

When he came back, Yan Shi and Ah Li were already surrounded by many people.

Originally, they thought about changing places.

Na Cheng wanted a woman with a sharp nose, who smelled the faint aroma of their pastries, so she walked over to Yan Shi and Ah Li and asked, "What do you sell?"

"Auntie, we sell delicious pastries!"

Ah Li directly lifted the lid of the steamer.

The scent wafted away in an instant, and the sellers and buyers nearby couldn't help but glance over.

"It smells so good. The pastries of yours look amazing. How do you sell them?"

"Sister, sweet-scented osmanthus square cake and bean paste cake cost five cents each, and peach blossom crisps cost eight cents."

"It's a bit expensive!"

"Sister, the cakes our family makes are all made of white flour, white rice and sugar oil. There are enough ingredients. You can't buy them at a pastry shop at this price."

Before they set up their stalls, they also went to the pastry shop in the county to buy a few pastries and came back to taste the taste, so they naturally knew what price the other party was selling.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Yan took out an osmanthus cake and cut it into four small pieces, and handed it to the woman.

"Sister, try it first, if you think it tastes good, it's not too late to buy it."

It was the first time the woman saw such a generous one, so she happily took it and put it in her mouth.

The entrance is full of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, fluffy and soft.

"Well, this tastes really good."

During her tasting, Ah Li also imitated Yan Shi's method and distributed the remaining pieces of osmanthus cake to the onlookers to taste.

Those who tasted it all said it tasted good.

Others also started to buy with confidence.

The woman who came first bought four pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, two pieces of bean paste cake and one piece of peach blossom cake.

Others also bought a lot one after another.

Ah Li was in charge of collecting the money, and the little abacus she carried with her was making a "popping" sound without a single mistake.

The shoppers also teased her.

"Little girl, if you make a mistake, will your mother beat you up?"

Ah Li smiled arrogantly and said, "My mother wouldn't beat me up, because I can't make a mistake at all."

Everyone laughed when they heard her words, making the bustling market more lively.

It's just that their good business is a bit too eye-catching, so that there is no smile on the face of the street vendors who also sell food.
