My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 41 No.40 A small steamed cake

"Cakes! We can sell recipes for making cakes, Dad! There are no cakes here!"

"Then you have to make a finished product first. If you don't have a finished product, why should people buy your stuff? You can't just rely on your mouth. You need an oven to make cakes, right? Our family can't do it for the time being."

Ning Qingxi looked at Wang Xiujuan expectantly, "Grandma! Can you make a cake without an oven?"

Wang Xiujuan nodded, "Yes, we can make small cakes, and steam them in our big pot." There may be some differences from the baked ones, but people here have never eaten them, so they will be just as good.

Ning Changrong was surprised, he really didn't expect that, if he could really sell the seller, it would be a lot of money.

"That's good! Mother, what do you need? Is there anything missing at home? Do you want me to go to the county to buy some? Let's take advantage of the high consumption a few years ago to make a fortune from it. If those people don't know the goods, we can sell them ourselves." I can make a lot of money!" Ning Changrong thought that the few cakes he bought in the county cost him more than [-] yuan!Their pastry has never appeared before. How much does Fang Zi have to sell to make it worthwhile?
Wang Xiujuan recalled the things sold at home, "It's not a problem to make only one or two pots. If I make more, I guess the materials at home will not be enough."

"Okay, tell me what's missing, I'll go to the county to buy it again, I guess we'll have to sell it for ten days and a half months."

They have to sell the pastry by themselves and wait for someone to take the initiative to buy the recipe. The business that takes the initiative to come to the door is not a business, and the price will be severely lowered by others.

After Wang Xiujuan reported the materials that needed to be bought, Ning Changrong rushed out of the door and rushed to the county. The matter of making money could not wait!

Walked all the way to the official road and took a bullock cart to the county to buy things.

Fearing that others would inquire about the ingredients of their cakes later, Ning Changrong deliberately bought them separately, and bought a few extra ingredients that were not needed, making it impossible to guess their real recipe.

After buying, I hurried back.

Seeing that Ning Changrong carried a big bag of things to the kitchen, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi also went after him.

Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei took the initiative to go forward to see if they needed help.

The method of making small cakes is not complicated, but it takes a lot of effort when stirring.

Wang Xiujuan cracked five eggs into a large bowl, and let Ning Changrong stir with a few drops of white vinegar.

Before Ning Changrong could make a move, Li Dafeng took the initiative to step forward, glanced at Wang Xiujuan flatteringly, and then said to Ning Changrong, "Brother, how can I let you come here? Just leave the kitchen to me."

It was inconvenient for Ning Changrong to compete with her, so he stood aside and gave Li Dafeng his position.

"Did you hear me when I said I was stirring?" Seeing her amused face, Wang Xiujuan managed to hold back her smile.Knowing that Li Dafeng was trying to please her, he was afraid that she would still remember Li Dafeng's nonsense before.

Li Dafeng turned his hands in one direction, and said with a silly smile: "Remember, remember, mother, don't worry, I just remembered it clearly, stir until it bubbles, then add sugar and continue to stir, wait for this small bamboo stick to be put in I'll call you when I don't fall down."

Wang Xiujuan nodded in satisfaction, and after handing this over to Li Dafeng, went to work on other things.

There is no milk at home, so they can only make small steamed cakes, and she has to buy oiled paper with Ningqing Xining Changrong to make them into small paper cups.

The price of this thing is not cheap, and it will have to be included in the cost at that time.

The paper made by Ning Qingxi can only be used to wipe buttocks, and charcoal pens are only suitable for writing.It's not good to use it to steam a cake, I'm afraid it will be integrated with the cake at that time.

It's too late to do it now.You can only buy some emergency ones first, and then look at them later if you need them.

Li Dafeng's arm was sore after stirring the eggs with chopsticks, and finally met Wang Xiujuan's request.

When Ning Qingxi came in, she saw Li Dafeng secretly pinching his shoulders.

I thought about manpower passing eggs, this time twice is okay, if they do this for a living and do it every day, it will really kill them.

Originally, I thought that if I cook it for my family for the first time, I would steam it in a bowl and save some paper money. After hesitating for a long time, Wang Xiujuan finally used paper cups directly. Only in this way can I accurately judge the specific situation and know whether the paper smell will be sticky. As for the cake, it is not the same as their modern paper after all.

The fragrant and sweet smell in the kitchen spread farther and farther, Ning Changrong looked at the pot expectantly, it was all money!

Half an hour later, the Ning family each had a small cake.

"Mom, what is this? Why haven't I seen this before?" It looked very different from the pastries their mother brought back from the county. They were white, fat, and soft.Before Wang Xiujuan could answer, Li Dafeng grabbed a little bit from his paper bowl and put it into his mouth. It was sweet, even sweeter than that pastry, and it tasted soft and not sticky to the teeth.

"Mmm! Mother, this is too delicious!" It just takes too much effort...

"Try it, second and third, and see if it's different from the cakes I brought back from the county." The three of Wang Xiujuan have already tasted it, and it feels like something is missing without milk, but overall it's still good. A sweet taste.

"Mother, it's delicious!" Ning Laoer described it succinctly after eating in one bite.

Ning Laosan had a look of enjoyment, "Mother, your craftsmanship is too good, right? Why can you do everything? This is much more delicious than the pastry in the county! If you want me to say that if you sell this, it will definitely be better than what they sell. good!"

Looking at the exaggerated expressions of this family, Ning Qingxi was a little skeptical, is this food really that delicious?Don't they eat the same cake?It's delicious, but it's not that exaggerated, right?Even the milk was not put in, and there was a milky smell missing.

Don't you dare not tell the truth because you are frightened by the majesty of her mother?
Ning Changrong felt confident now, "It was originally planned to be made and sold in the county. Let's make a few more pots tonight, and I will sell them tomorrow."

"What?! Are you really going to sell it? Can it work?" Ning Lao San was a little hesitant. Although they thought it was delicious, people in the county had never seen anything good. Can they sell it?
"Third, what do you mean? Didn't you just say it was delicious? Could it be that you are lying to your mother?"

Third Ning was a little at a loss, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's not big brother, I, I didn't lie to my mother, it's just that people in the county have the same taste as us?"

Wang Xiujuan had already seen it, and Ning Laosan was just playing tricks with her family, and it was impossible to go out.

"Don't worry about it, your eldest brother will try to buy it first and see how it goes."

After dinner that night, the family worked half the night in the kitchen.

When Ning Changrong entered the city, he paid three Wen for having an extra basket.

At this time, small cakes are being sold at a stall in Dongshi.The stalls in Dongshi also ask for money, one penny a day.

There were many people coming and going to see it, but they were all scared away when they asked the price.

Ning Changrong asked for a small cake the size of an egg for ten Wen each.

A plain steamed stuffed bun is only a penny, and the cakes sold in the pastry shop are estimated to be around ten pennies each, but the cakes are heavier than his cakes, so the cakes are still more expensive.

His ten pennies each really scared many people.

But the value of the cake can't be calculated in this way, the vegetarian buns have nothing, his cake not only contains eggs but also sugar.Eggs and sugar are so valuable these days!What's more, his pastries are unique!This unique title alone is worth ten pennies.
