The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 129 Snowskin Mooncake

The finished ice skin mooncake is only the size of my brother's palm, and it looks very good. After cutting it, the outer skin is soft and waxy, and the filling inside is sweet. After eating it, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and people can't help but pick up the second piece .

Li Xiu could finish one in two bites, and tasted all three flavors. Things made of glutinous rice were hard to digest at night, and Lin Xiazhi stopped him when he took the fourth piece.

In the current weather, the snowy mooncakes can be kept for ten days after they are made, which is just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiazhi took [-] snowskin mooncakes to the county town to find Cheng Wenliu.

What Lin Xiazhi meant was to put the snowy mooncakes on consignment in Jufulou, and Jufulou would get [-]% of the profit, and the Lin family would get [-]%.

If it was in the past, Cheng Wenliu would definitely take another layer off Lin Xiazhi's hands, but now he doesn't even want to accept that layer.

As soon as Cheng Wenliu said his refusal, Lin Xiazhi interrupted him. Lin Xiazhi would never do such things at will.

Although Cheng Wenliu is pursuing him now, before Lin Xiazhi has made up his mind, he doesn't want to have an interest dispute with Cheng Wenliu. It is best to settle money and goods.

After doing business with Lin Xiazhi for so long, Cheng Wenliu naturally knows what he thinks, so he can only smile wryly, Brother Xia is really not easy to be fooled in this regard, the road to chasing her husband is long.

It's nothing to put the snowy mooncakes on consignment in Jufulou, not to mention that Cheng Wenliu is still taking care of them on purpose.

After the matter was settled, Lin Xiazhi was in no hurry to return to Linjiacun. Mooncakes could only be sold for a while during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and naturally they would not be sold again after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He had to think of a way to make money in the long run.

Although I don't know whether Li Xiu's belly is a man or a brother, but it's always right to prepare more money.

For a man, if he wants to do business, give him money and let him try it himself. If he wants to take the imperial examination or something like school district housing, he must be prepared.If you are a brother, you should prepare more money. When you get married, you can gain a foothold in your husband's family with more dowry.

Lin Xiazhi was also thinking about whether to urge Lin Chenzong to study hard, let him get a good grade in the exam and come back to set an example for his younger brother, so that his younger brother will not be bullied.

Lin Xiazhi even thought about his younger brother, if he didn't want to get married like him, and he didn't meet someone he liked, then the family would raise him for the rest of his life.

If Li Xiu were to know that Lin Xiazhi still had such thoughts, he would definitely have to give him a good lesson.

After walking around the county, Lin Xiazhi had an idea in his heart: open a restaurant that only sells snacks.

Because of these messy thoughts in his mind, Lin Xiazhi's preparation of the snack bar is not mixed with the family's business, and it is temporarily listed under his name, and he will look at it when his younger brother grows up.

When Lin Xiazhi was making moon cakes yesterday, he thought of using glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, as well as other delicious foods. He had to think carefully about what to sell in the snack bar to become a hit.

Cheng Wenliu accompanied Lin Xiazhi around the county town, and seeing Lin Xiazhi lowered his head to think about things from time to time, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xia has any difficulties, why don't you tell me, let's discuss it together?"

"I want to open a shop that sells some snacks in the county town. Where is the best place to open it?" Although Lin Xiazhi thought of the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, he didn't know where it would be better to open a shop. He had been in the county town just now. See where there is more traffic.

"It depends on who the food you cook is suitable for." Cheng Wenliu runs Jufulou, and he is familiar with the food area. "The target group is different from the natural location."

Sometimes the authorities are really obsessed with onlookers, and Lin Xiazhi immediately understood: "The snacks I want to sell are not very high-end, but the price is not very cheap..."

While talking, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu turned their heads to look at each other at the same time and blurted out: "The pier!"

"We want to go together." Cheng Wenliu looked at Lin Xiazhi with a smile, just now he felt that he and Xia Ge'er had a sympathetic feeling, and he was very happy.

"Although the wharf is good, there are no suitable shops nearby, and I don't know if it can be opened." Although he thought of where to open it, Lin Xiazhi had new troubles.

"Brother Xia, I have a small shop at the pier. Those shops were used by my father to practice my hands a few years ago. Now I don't have much energy to take care of them. The business is mediocre. I'm thinking about changing to something else. , do you consider it?" Cheng Wenliu hesitated for a while before saying.

"Is what you said true?" Lin Xiazhi couldn't help wondering whether Cheng Wenliu deliberately called a good shop a bad one just to make him willing to use his shop.

In fact, Cheng Wenliu did not lie. The store in his hand initially sold some gadgets from other places. In the past two years, when there were not so many merchant ships in various places, he could still make some money. Now it can basically only make ends meet. , it is a bit difficult to maintain.

"It's absolutely true, if you don't believe me, I'll take you there to have a look." Cheng Wenliu said with a wry smile.

"It is reasonable to say that the business of the store near the pier should be good. How could it be like you said that it is almost out of business?" Lin Xiazhi was still a little skeptical.

"My shop used to sell goods from other places, but now there are a lot more merchant ships, so it's hard to sell foreign goods if they're not valuable. The shop belongs to my father, and I have to pay my father enough rent every month. It's almost nothing. profit."

"Your father still needs to charge your rent?" Lin Xiazhi told Cheng Wenliu about family affairs for the first time.

"My father said this was a lesson for me. Back then, he told me that merchant ships were gradually increasing. My business would not last long. He asked me to change it as soon as I made a fortune, but I didn't listen."

"It doesn't matter. You were young a few years ago and couldn't see the long-term. You can see how well Jufulou is running in your hands now."

"My father comforted me in the same way."

……

The location of the store is not bad, and it is lively when people come and go, but maybe because the signboard of the store is a bit old, and the interior decoration is relatively dark, it is not easy to notice it at a glance.

Lin Xiazhi found that this shop was indeed not as popular compared with the surrounding ones. There was only one shopkeeper and one waiter inside. Since there were no customers going in to choose, the shopkeeper could only dial his abacus boringly.

Seeing the current situation of the shop, Lin Xiazhi didn't go in, he already believed Cheng Wenliu's words, so he wandered around.

The rent of the shops in the wharf is high, and there are few restaurants. There are only two or three restaurants. Lin Xiazhi visited each of them. The price is half of that in the county. If you don’t want to eat these expensive meals, you have to go farther.

Looking around, Lin Xiazhi felt quite satisfied and was willing to rent Cheng Wenliu's shop, so he asked Cheng Wenliu's shop for the rent.

You can find out about the rent if you inquire about it nearby. Cheng Wenliu also told the truth, 30 taels of silver a month.

30 taels of silver is really not low. If an ordinary man is looking for a part-time job in the city, he can only get two to three taels of silver if he works for 30 days a month.

Considering that this is a golden bunk, Lin Xiazhi felt that it was expensive but worth it, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

After discussing with Cheng Wenliu, the two set the handover date in ten days, and these ten days were left for Cheng Wenliu to deal with the goods in the store, and Lin Xiazhi also needed to make preparations.

At noon, Cheng Wenliu warmly invited Lin Xiazhi to stay for dinner, but Lin Xiazhi didn't agree, and went back in his own donkey cart.

As soon as the Lin family had lunch, the boy from Jufulou hurriedly drove the donkey cart to the Lin family, saying that two guests wanted to order [-] pieces after tasting the snowy mooncakes, and they would deliver them early tomorrow morning.

At the same time, the [-] mooncakes delivered by the Lin family in the morning have also been sold out, and he dragged them over if there were still unfinished ones at home, and the uneaten guests were making a fuss.

Originally, Lin Xiazhi was going to sell the snowy mooncakes in Jufulou. I didn't expect that there would be such a big order of [-] pieces. Fortunately, Lin Xiazhi had prepared enough ingredients before, and the fillings fried yesterday were still good. There are many.

In the morning, I made [-] snowy mooncakes, and asked Xiaoer to take them to Jufulou first.

Seeing that Lin's family still had so many snowy mooncakes, Xiao Er finally felt relieved.

Snowskin mooncakes are quicker to make than traditional mooncakes, as long as there are enough fillings and skins, they can be wrapped and pressed into shapes without baking.

In the afternoon, in addition to finishing the two big orders, Lin Xiazhi also asked the family to make [-] more, and prepared a lot of fillings.

A snowskin mooncake sells for [-] yuan, and the cost is only [-] yuan, which is very profitable.

Things like pastries, especially those with a symbolic meaning, are always very expensive, and customers are not willing to buy them if they are cheap.

After the snow skin mooncakes are made, it tastes better if they are cooled in a well overnight.

The [-] mooncakes that I took to Jufulou yesterday bought all of them on the same day. Those who can come to Jufulou to eat are naturally not short of money. They think it tastes good after eating. Many customers buy dozens or even hundreds of them. Never underestimate the purchasing power of the rich.

In addition to this kind of loose sale, there are also some big families who want to order hundreds of them. The Cheng family also asked the Lin family to order a thousand snowskin mooncakes as gifts.

For a while, even Lin Xiazhi was forced to work, and only Li Xiu could lie down and rest.

Hurry up and finally finish all the orders before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sales of snowskin mooncakes dropped. Lin Xiazhi asked the family to stop making snowskin mooncakes after using up the remaining ingredients.

Those guests who still want to eat snowy mooncakes can only wait until next year. After all, they only want to eat it once a year. It would not be surprising if they could eat it every day.

After selling out the mooncakes, Lin Xiazhi made some calculations and made more than 400 taels of ice skin mooncakes in just a few days.

All the money went into Lin Xiazhi's pocket. All the people in the family who helped make moon cakes were lucky. Each of them gave three taels. Qian and Lin Xiaoqiu were the busiest. They gave five taels to Li Xiu, and the rest Under 20 taels, I have the start-up capital to open a small shop.

A few days ago, in order to make mooncakes, Lin Xiazhi went to buy three brothers in person, and Lin Xiaoqiu kept these three brothers with her. After the mooncakes were finished, she started to work in the small shop that Lin Xiazhi planned to open.
