Chapter 299 Mooncake
Nurse Rong can be said to be versatile. The next day, she made mooncakes with two kinds of fillings for them.
Bean paste mooncakes and salted egg yolk mooncakes.
Yan Yu looked at the moon cakes that looked like sesame seed cakes, and fell into deep thought.
Li Xuemei was very calm: "It's probably rare for you. Your father and I both ate this kind of food when we were young. Although it looks ordinary, the taste is the same. If you don't believe me, try it."
Yan Yu took a bite, the bean paste was sweet but not greasy, the salted egg yolk was salty and fragrant, and the cake was thin and crispy, ignoring the appearance, it was a sincere work.
Using limited materials to make such delicious mooncakes, no one except Rongmao can do it.
Yan Yu felt more and more that selling mooncakes was reliable.
Such a delicious moon cake, such a rough appearance, a bit wronged!
Uncle Qi is not here, how to solve the mold problem?
Yan Yu's gaze landed on Mao Mao stretching beside the door as expected.
smiled maliciously.
When Li Xuemei saw her, she knew what she was up to.
"Your uncle is at home, how do you explain it to him when you make mooncake molds?"
"It's fine if it's rough." Yan Yu didn't care.
Li Xuemei thought about it, and felt that it would be okay if there was only one circle.
Yan Yu quickly found a piece of material of suitable size from Qi Wushu's wood, and asked Maomao to cut out a circle for her.
Then hollow out the middle part, of course it is necessary to deliberately rough.
The finished product appeared quickly.
Li Xuemei: …
Yan Yu: …
It looks good from the outside, but the inside is too rough. Mooncakes made from such molds may be crumpled and no one wants to buy them.
"Little Two."
Hearing her uncle calling her in the yard, Yan Yu had an idea and took the mold out of the kitchen.
"Uncle, look at this." She blocked the uncle's mouth in a timely manner.
This time is exactly the time when the uncle is going to give them lessons.
I thought it was because she hadn't arrived for a long time, so the uncle came looking for her.
"Do you want to make mooncakes?" Yan Huaiwen took it, seeing the uneven mold inside, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Father made it and went out before it was ready. Uncle, the mooncakes made by Miss Rong are delicious. Let's make more and sell them. They will definitely sell for a lot of money."
Yan Huaiwen smiled knowingly, the fact that Xiao Er loves money is really like God's blessing.
"Since it was done by Rong Niangzi, how can you sell it at will." He immediately refused, and said: "It's okay to eat at home. If Rong Niangzi wants to make some money with this, you can allow her a few days off."
Yan Yu: …
Forget about this crop.
In the eyes of the uncle, Nanny Rong is a hired helper.
The craftsmanship of making moon cakes can be profitable, but it should not be profitable for the Yan family.
Yan Yu asked naively: "The materials are provided by our family, and my mother and elder sister will help. Will we sell together in a partnership? Just like my father and uncle Qi."
Yan Huaiwen: Sometimes it is not a good thing for children to know too much.
"You can do the math yourself, remove the capital, share the rest with Miss Rong, how much is left?
If the moon cakes cannot be sold, you will have to pay. "
This kind of words is enough to deceive the child, but it won't fool her.
She showed her millet teeth and smiled brightly: "Then you promised, uncle, I'll go and tell Mother and Rong Niangzi..."
Without waiting for the uncle's response, Yan Yu ran back to the kitchen, told her mother and Nanny Rong the good news, and then flew to the study like a little swallow to tell the elder sister.
Big girl is honest, she heard that her father agreed to sell moon cakes, so she packed up her textbooks and rushed to the kitchen to help.
Yan Huaiwen: …
Forget it, since they want to do it, just do it.
He looked at the mold in his hand, found a stone that was convenient, rinsed it, and went back to the study.
"Uncle is right. The first time we sold mooncakes, we were afraid that people would not recognize them and buy ours." Yan Yu rolled her eyes and had another idea.
She picked out two bean paste and two salted egg yolks from the mooncakes made by Nanny Rong, and cut them into small pieces.
I put it on a plate, and I didn’t forget to cover it with a curtain.
"Mother, Big Sister, you are busy first, I will go and give the villagers a taste of our mooncakes."
Before Da Ya could react, the younger sister went out.
"Auntie, Miss Rong's mooncakes are so good, we can definitely sell them." What Da Ya actually wanted to say was that she didn't need to ask the villagers to help her taste it. She just ate it, and it was obviously very delicious.
Li Xuemei: "Leave her alone, let's dig the egg yolk first."
Her daughter's little idea is very easy to guess, so she has to sell it in the village first.
That's what Yan Yu planned.
Give the villagers a taste first, and order some if they feel good.
is the so-called pre-sale.
In this way, they make batches every day, so there will be no backlog and waste.
As for the cost that the uncle mentioned, hehe, it's all in her heart.
Moon cakes are a seasonal food. If you sell too little, you won’t be able to pay for the labor. If you sell too much, you are afraid that no one will buy it. How to set the price is very important.
Yan Yu felt that if she wanted to do a good job in the mooncake business in the past few days, she might have to go to Yongning.
One is to see how much the mooncakes in Yongning City cost, and the other is to buy some paper for wrapping the mooncakes.
It’s not good to have nothing, and sell it directly to others, so what’s the point?
Walking half a circle in the village, Yan Yu didn't insist on trying mooncakes for the whole distance.
Selling it to the villagers, she naturally wouldn't charge a high price, just add some cost.
There are four pieces of bean paste mooncakes and five pieces of salted egg yolk mooncakes. You can buy as many pieces as you want.
Soon some orders were harvested.
Yan Yu returned home happily.
As soon as she entered the door, people who bought mooncakes followed her.
The people in the village don’t pay much attention to those imaginary ones. They think mooncakes like sesame seed cakes are quite good.
Yan Yu's moon cake business opened immediately.
Mooncakes with bean paste are sold more frequently, but the salted egg yolks are not as good. Most of them are bought by people who take a piece back to give their family a taste.
Yan Yu grinned the whole time to collect money and get mooncakes for others.
After all the mooncakes made by Nanny Rong were sold out, she turned around and saw the uncle standing there for some time in the yard.
"Look, uncle, there are so many copper coins!" She patted the money bag, and the copper coins inside rattled.
Yan Huaiwen nodded, and gave her the things in his hand.
"I'm going out for a while."
Yan Yu looked at the mooncake mold in her hand that had changed drastically.
Blinked, blinked again.
"Mother, elder sister, Miss Rong, look, the mold uncle made for us!"
I saw the rough moon cake mold, not only the inside was polished smooth, but also engraved with a few words - the moon is full and people are reunited.
Nurse Rong immediately made the red bean paste, wrapped it into a circle with cake skin, and printed it in the mold.
when!
When the mold is buckled on the panel, it will be opened at once.
Five clear characters appeared on it.
Nurse Rong was very satisfied and made a lot of them in succession.
When new mooncakes are baked.
The egg-washed surface has a slightly burnt color, and the handwriting becomes clearer. Compared with the previous biscuits, it is completely reborn.
