Chapter 46 Selling Loquat Cake
He needs to go to town tomorrow, so Xue Ning will go to bed early at night.

Although she was a little sad to be rejected by Mu Chenghe, she couldn't be immersed in sadness all the time and couldn't extricate herself, life was still going on.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, she can only guarantee that she will live up to the good times every day.

The next morning, Xue Ning got up just after dawn.

It rained last night, and the village looked very clean after being washed by the rain.

The air is also very clear.

Xue Ning got up, washed up, and went into the kitchen.

The water in the loquat cake that was put in the cupboard yesterday has almost evaporated, and the finished loquat cake is brown, with walnut kernels inside, and looks similar to donkey-hide gelatin cake in appearance.

The mouthfeel is sticky and elastic, and the taste is very good.

Xue Ning cut the shaped loquat cake into small pieces of uniform size, and then put the cut cakes into baskets to sell.

There are no plastic bags in this era, and oiled paper can only be used to pack cakes for guests.

For easy access, Xue Ning also brought a hemp rope.

When the time comes to pack the pastry, it can be tied with hemp rope, which is convenient and easy to carry.

After making preparations, Xue Ning put on his messenger bag and went out with the basket in hand.

She got up too early, and she didn't meet anyone on the way to the town. Xue Ning couldn't get in the ox cart this time, so she had to walk there.

When we arrived in the town, several large factories hadn't started working yet.

Xue Ning hurried to the department store and bought a hanging scale.

After coming out of the department store, I found another place where no one was around, dressed up briefly, covered most of my face with a gauze scarf, and put an old straw hat on my head, so that absolutely no one would recognize me. come out with her.

In this day and age, business is not allowed. If you are caught, the consequences will be very serious. In order to ensure your own safety, it is necessary to disguise yourself.

She deliberately wore old-fashioned clothes today to make herself look like an old lady.

After pretending to be an aunt, Xue Ning took the loquat cake and squatted at the gate of a nearby textile factory.

Her figure is very thin, and the target won't be too big if she squats there.

As the workers in the factory went to work one after another, someone saw Xue Ning.

Xue Ning was not timid either. He placed his basket in a conspicuous place and greeted, "Sister, do you want some fresh loquat cake?"

An aunt in her forties walked up to Xue Ning, looked at the things in the basket, felt that the dark appearance was not good-looking at all, and frowned, "What kind of thing is this! It looks dark, it must be Unappetizing."

Xue Ning was not angry either, and cut off a small piece of loquat cake and handed it to the aunt, "Sister, try it, and buy it if it tastes good, there is no charge for trying it."

The aunt took it suspiciously, and took a bite cautiously.

A very strong loquat fragrance explodes in the mouth, and the taste is very chewy, not only the loquat fragrance, but also the crispness of walnut kernels. This kind of pastry is very chewy when paired together.

Anyway, the aunt had never eaten such a rare pastry before.

"Your food looks ugly, but it's delicious to eat. I just didn't have breakfast. How did you sell it? Pack some for me."

Xue Ning said with a smile, "The ingredients used to make loquat paste are genuine products at a fair price. They are all the best loquats and walnuts. I'm also an honest person, and I don't want to shout about prices. We sell them by the catty, one yuan and five yuan per catty." , don’t vote.”

She also set the price after calculating the cost.

Walnuts in this era cost 5 cents a catty, but she used two and a half catties of walnuts, and the cost was 1.25 yuan.

Loquats cost 2 cents and 5 pounds per catty, and the total is 15 catties of loquats, and the cost is 3.75 yuan.

The total cost of making loquat paste is almost 5 yuan.

With so many ingredients, I finally got 5 catties of loquat cake, which costs one yuan per catty of loquat cake.

She has been busy for so long, and she also needs to make money, and it is not too much to earn 5 cents per catty.

When the aunt heard that it cost one yuan and fifty cents a catty, her face turned dark.

One yuan and five can buy several catties of grain.

Immediately lost the desire to buy.

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive, so I don't want it anymore." The aunt covered her mouth and coughed twice, and was about to leave.

Xue Ning hurriedly shouted, "Sister, there is a reason why it is expensive. The things I use are absolutely genuine. Loquat and walnuts are good things. Eating walnuts can nourish the brain. Not only adults can eat them, but also those with children at home." What's more, there is also loquat, which can produce fluid and relieve cough. Eating it will definitely only have benefits and no harm.

Just now I heard that you are coughing, sister, you must have caught a cold due to the change of seasons!Let me tell you, you should eat more of my loquat cake, it is good for treating cough. "

The aunt was moved again when she heard this.

The problem with her cough is that it is very difficult to cure, especially when the seasons change, a cough lasts for a month or two, which can torture people to death.

"Your loquat cake can really cure cough?"

"I don't need to lie to you. You will know if you eat a few more yuan. Loquat is really a good thing. If you missed it this time, you may not be able to buy it if you want to buy it in the future."

The aunt coughed twice again, and was really troubled by the cough.

Gritting his teeth cruelly, he said, "Then give me a catty."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Xue Ning wrapped the loquat cake in oiled paper, weighed it to a catty, tied the cake with hemp rope, and handed it to the aunt, "Sister, your loquat cake is delicious, come back next time."
