Chapter 59 Trading
At first, Bai Fu thought that Granny Cao's bean cake shop was a shop selling coarse grain pancakes.

Later, I learned that the ancients called all pasta cakes, and the bean cakes in Granny Cao’s family were fried or steamed, somewhat similar to modern coarse-grain cakes and coarse-grain hair cakes.

It is said that her family has an ancestral formula that is not passed on to outsiders, and the sign hanging on the door of the house also says the secret of three generations of single inheritance, which is very gimmick.

Her bean cakes are not freshly made, but are made by Granny Cao herself in the back kitchen for her two daughters-in-law to sell. The eldest daughter-in-law, Cao Chen, is a slow-talking and clumsy person, and is mainly responsible for secondary processing, frying, frying, or coating Sauces and the like.

The second daughter-in-law, Cao Guashi, has a loud mouth and is responsible for collecting money, packaging and yelling, and occasionally running errands to deliver goods.

Most of the people who come to buy bean cakes are from poor families. Some women in the town are used to buying a portion after shopping in the vegetable market in the morning. The shopkeepers and farmers who come to the town to go to the market will also buy some before going home. They can be used as rations for the family for several days. .

Bai Fu checked carefully a few times, her family has many old customers.

Cao Gua often enthusiastically calls out to his uncles, aunts and elder sisters for a few chats, and occasionally sneaks a few more broken pancakes as a favor when Granny Cao is not around.

Bai Fu also got a favor once, it was a return gift from Cao Guashi, fried oily, watery and hot early in the morning, saying that her mother-in-law rushed to make fresh pancakes before dawn, using a unique method The sauce is seasoned like no other in town.

However, Bai Fu didn't find anything special about the food, he just thought that the colorful colors were pretty good, and the taste was not bad. Occasionally, when Bug didn't want to eat rice, he would buy some as a staple food.

Xiao Liang is used to Bai Fu's exquisite food, but he doesn't like this mouthful, and despises the harsh and sticky taste. Bai Fu said that eating coarse grains occasionally is good for his health, so he reluctantly accepts it.

Bai Fu didn't say much, and directly threw the question back.

"Aunt Cao thinks there is any deal we can make?"

"I knew Shopkeeper Bai was a straightforward person"

Cao Guashi obviously came prepared, as soon as he heard that there was something going on, he roughly explained his thoughts.

"I see that the french fries in your store are also made of pasta, so I wondered if I could use this technique to make my cakes," she said, looking at Bai Fu, "Of course, I didn't learn it Craftsmanship, if shopkeeper Bai is willing, he can make a price."

Bai Fu pursed his lips and smiled.

Many customers asked what ingredients the French fries were made of, but Bai Fu didn't tell them. It must be that Cao Gua studied it carefully and finally came to the conclusion that it was made of pasta.

Maybe even tried it.

It is not impossible to use pasta to make French fries, but the taste must be very different, and vegetable oil is not cheap in this era, so it is not easy for target customers who want Caojia bean cakes to accept it.

"I'm afraid you can't do that."

Bai Fu thought for a while, and answered directly, without waiting for Cao Guashi to respond, he continued:
"But I do have a business that suits you, you can consider it."

Just hearing the previous refusal, the smile on Cao Gua's face froze, but he didn't show any disappointment. How can it be so easy to ask someone to do something.

When she opened her mouth, she was about to say good things and try to fight for it. She didn't want to hear the last sentence immediately, her eyes flashed, and she took two steps forward unconsciously.

"Shopkeeper Bai, tell me what you want!" She leaned over and said.

Xu was afraid of being overheard, so Cao Guashi got a little closer. As soon as his plump body approached, Bai Fu suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and subconsciously retreated slightly.

"No hurry, no rush, it's not a new trick, you can make it with the existing cakes in your shop, but I need to spend some time to make a new sauce, Aunt Cao will just send some mung bean cakes from your home first." She said Said.

When Bai Fu retreated, Cao Guashi also realized that something was inappropriate, and smiled coyly, "I'll go and get some."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and stopped after taking two steps, "Is one catty enough?" She turned around and asked.

This. Bai Fu paused before speaking:
"There are a lot of people in my family now, I will buy another three catties, and I just want to eat this tonight."

Cao Guashi returned to the shop in response, and came out with pancakes after a while, Bai Fu took the pancakes and paid for it, and then went into the house after explaining a few words.

"The son is back!"

Sanya hurriedly came over to help Bai Fu take the things in his hand, then pointed to the food box on the table and asked with a smile: "Master, do you want to eat these tonight?"

Those restaurants were quite fast, and they delivered the dishes Bai Fu ordered earlier.

"Well, these are the dishes of several big restaurants in the town. Let's taste them together later. Call Erya over here, and I will teach you how to make a fresh dish."

"Okay, wait a minute, son."

That night, Granny Cao came back from the temple with her eldest daughter-in-law to pray for blessings. When she entered the room and saw a table full of food, she looked at Cao Guashi in surprise.

"Is the shop busy today?" She asked in an unhappy tone.

Cao Guashi is used to her mother-in-law being indifferent to her, and doesn't care about it, so she stepped forward to help her sit down.

"How can it be"

She said with a smile, and handed over a wet handkerchief to Granny Cao to wipe her hands, "I just thought that you and sister-in-law must be tired after going up the mountain, so I made it for you."

Granny Cao looked at her suspiciously, wiped her hands and said nothing.

The second daughter-in-law is not a bad one, but she is not as diligent and honest as the eldest daughter-in-law, and she talks a lot. In addition, she is quite beautiful, and she treats the second son submissively, sometimes it really makes her look uncomfortable .

The eldest daughter-in-law Cao Chen took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on without saying a word, and said in a low voice, "Thank you brother and sister for your kindness."

Cao Guashi hurriedly took over the words.

"Sister-in-law, sit down, sit down, it's all the same family talking about two things!"

The Cao family has two sons. The eldest son is out on business with others and does not go home on weekdays. The second son was conscripted at the border, and the two grandsons returned home after studying in college. Therefore, there are only three women eating today.

Two of the three don't like to talk, and Cao Guashi can't get excited by himself. Soon, the sound of eating is muffled in the room.

When the meal was almost finished, Cao Guashi looked at an opportunity and opened his mouth.

"Mother, I don't mind if you follow the ancestral precepts and only pass on the prescriptions passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law and grandsons, but I have a request." Knowing that her mother-in-law doesn't like her mentioning the ancestral prescriptions, Cao Guashi said cautiously.

Granny Cao put down her chopsticks heavily.

"That's what I said, suddenly you are so diligent, so you are digging a hole here and waiting for me." She said in an unhappy tone.

"How can you say it's digging a hole?"

Cao Gua retorted resentfully, with a smile on his face, "Cao Er is also your son, even if we don't separate families in this generation, can you guarantee that they will not separate families when the grandchildren grow up? I have to do it for you. My grandson is making some plans, isn't he?"

Ever since her mother-in-law sent her husband to serve in the army, Cao Gua's heart has never been at ease.

The incense should be inherited by the eldest son, and the secret recipe should be inherited by the eldest daughter-in-law, so what are the second son and second daughter-in-law?
Although it is not dangerous to have the King Regent who has shaken the four corners of the border these years, it is better to be comfortable at home. She can bear being a widow or something, but when she thinks of her son, she feels very restless and feels a sense of crisis all the time.

Knowing people, knowing face, not knowing heart, don't look at the big brother and sister-in-law who promised to take care of them now, and when the mother-in-law is gone, does her family have to live by the big house's winks?

What are you talking about!

Granny Cao frowned and opened her mouth to reprimand, but the eldest daughter-in-law tugged at her sleeves.

"If you have any conditions, you might as well tell them and let's discuss it together." Cao Chen said softly after a long while.
