Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 43
Those imitation glutinous rice cakes have had an impact on Zhang Xiaocao's business here, and they won't be sold out as quickly as before.

Grandma Zhang was a little anxious, worried that if there were too many people doing it, she would not be able to make money, so she told Xiaocao to cut the price.

Zhang Xiaocao said with certainty: "Grandma, don't worry, it won't be long before it will be the same as before, or even better!"

She had tasted those glutinous rice cakes, and they were no worse than hers in terms of appearance, but they were much worse in terms of texture and taste.The raw materials of glutinous rice cakes can be known by taste, but they don’t know that there is Chengfen. The difference between Chengfen and flour is too big, which is directly reflected in the taste!

She can't prevent the appearance of imitations, and she doesn't think they are 'infringing' or anything. The consumer groups are different, so the impact is not great.Moreover, with comparison, those who often buy will feel that the glutinous rice cakes she makes are the most authentic, so word-of-mouth brands will naturally come!
Sure enough, within a few days, her business here became even more prosperous, and more and more people knew about "Zhangjia Nuomi"!
Grandma Zhang also let go of her heart, and felt more and more that her granddaughter was blessed by a Bodhisattva, so she was so smart and transparent!
On this day, the glutinous rice cakes had just been bought, and the grandfather and grandson were about to pack up and go back, but they were stopped by a woman in charge.

"Are you the ones who make 'Zhangjia Nuomi Ci'?"

Zhang Xiaocao took a look, and saw that the other party and the two girls behind him did not seem to be looking for trouble, so she settled down a little, and then she heard grandma say: "Exactly! I don't know what the lady's name is? What's the matter with the old lady?"

The steward was quite kind, and said with a smile: "I can't bear the title Madam, I'm the steward of the Lin Mansion in this town, just call me Steward Lin!"

When Zhang Xiaocao heard it, she had a guess in her heart, and she was a little happy.

I just heard her continue: "The day after tomorrow is my old lady's [-]th birthday, and I want to cook some unusual food for guests, so I would like to invite you to Lin Fu to make some glutinous rice cakes. We will prepare the ingredients. You just need to make them, of course. , if you do it well, your benefits will be indispensable!"

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she was very surprised. She didn't expect such a thing to happen, but this was the first time she encountered it, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad. On the granddaughter!

Zhang Xiaocao didn't know what the background of this Lin family was, but seeing the bright clothes of Lin Guanshi and the other three people, they advanced and retreated politely, and knew that the Lin family should be very prestigious in this Shuanghe Town, and it would be bad to reject it. So he nodded at grandma.

Seeing that her granddaughter agreed, Grandma Zhang agreed.

As steward Lin, as the steward of everyone, this scene naturally did not escape her eyes. She carefully sized up the little girl, and saw that she had clear eyes and delicate features, which made people like her, she seemed pretty good.

The two parties agreed on the time and the location of the Lin Mansion, so they separated.

On the way home, Grandma Zhang still felt like she was dreaming. Somehow, she was invited by a rich family to make glutinous rice cakes.

Zhang Xiaocao thought of something else, since the glutinous rice cakes have already established a reputation in Shuanghe Town, it is not impossible for this unique food to become bigger, but she is also worried that someone will stare at them, after all, they are old There are two weak women and children, with no background at all, and they can't stand a local ruffian.

Zhang Xiaocao and grandma didn't tell anyone about this matter. Most people in the village are kind, but there are also people like the Zhu family. They don't want to pay too much attention, and try to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Because time was tight and there were so many guests, Steward Lin asked Zhang Xiaocao and the others to come to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, otherwise they might not be able to catch up with the noon feast, so the business that day could not be done, so Zhang Xiaocao came to buy glutinous rice cakes The guests said one by one, saying that they have something to do tomorrow, so they can't leave the stall, and let them come back the day after tomorrow.

Those people were regular customers, and they didn't say anything when they knew it, but those few servant girls who came to buy it every day mumbled a few words, who made the glutinous rice cakes in this store the most authentic, and the little masters in the family clamored for them every day!
On this day, Zhang Xiaocao and Grandma Zhang got up early, tidied things up carefully, and came to the town in neat clothes. In the extremely wide mansion with blue tiles and high walls, he came to the corner door that Steward Lin had mentioned in the west, and knocked three times, not lightly but not hard.

Soon someone opened the door, it was an older woman.

The woman took a look at them and saw that they were neatly dressed, but they were not made of good clothes. A look of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she asked impatiently, "Who are you? What are you going to do early in the morning?"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't take it seriously, and just said lightly: "Go and tell Steward Lin in the mansion that the grandparents of the Zhang family are here!"

The woman looked at them suspiciously, seeing that they didn't seem to be fooling her, she threw the word "wait", and closed the door with a bang.

When Grandma Zhang saw the woman's attitude, she felt panic again. Seeing Goddess Sun's calm expression, she gradually calmed down.

After waiting for a moment, soft footsteps sounded inside, the door was opened, and the person walking in front was the Steward Lin whom he had seen that day.

"Yo, you guys came early enough, I was worrying for nothing!"

Steward Lin invited them in and said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaocao nodded secretly, no wonder she was able to fulfill the post of steward. Judging by the respectful attitude of the gatekeeper woman, this steward Lin should be very proud in front of the master.

"It's our honor to come to Lin's mansion to make snacks. Steward Lin likes us, so we can't be too late and cause trouble for Steward Lin!"

Seeing that Steward Lin was not putting on airs, Grandma Zhang immediately relaxed and replied gracefully.

Manager Lin nodded, feeling that the woman from the country was very interesting, he said a few more words, and led them all the way inside.

Grandma Zhang was very restrained, she only looked down at the road under her feet.

Zhang Xiaocao followed behind without looking sideways. Although she was very curious about this ancient mansion, it was too petty to look around. But when she saw a large plum blossom forest not far away from the corner of her eyes, she unconsciously looked at it. After a few glances, there is an elegant fragrance of plum blossoms lingering at the tip of the nose.

Steward Lin took them to the kitchen and said, "You guys are going to do it here. Can you make a thousand of them before noon? By the way, there are a few girls to help you do it. Do you think it's possible?"

As he said that, he called four girls over to show them.

Zhang Xiaocao glanced at the four girls, saw that they were very clever, and nodded to grandma. It is impossible to finish a thousand with their two hands. Moreover, Manager Lin will rest assured that they will do it. Someone needs to be watching, after all, it's the old lady's birthday, there are many people, and if something goes wrong, it can become a big problem.

In this way, both parties are at ease.
