In the blink of an eye, his Su Family had already been settled at the Haian City for a month. In this one month's time, Su Wenlan and Su Xinyu could be said to have gotten along extremely well with their neighbors. Most of the people on the street also knew that the newly moved Su Family, that Madam Su had good embroidery skills, was even better than Boss Feng's f * cking craftsmanship.
Nowadays, if a woman had a good embroidery job, she would be envied and praised. Furthermore, Su Wenlan was not greedy for pleasure because her family still had a few thousand taels of silver. After she and Su Mei finished making out the winter clothes for the four people in the house, the two of them started to embroider screens and fan faces. However, Su Mei's skills were still not up to standard, she was learning by doing it while using Su Wenlan. She could not use the screen, but she could still use the fan and the delicate handkerchief.
The things that happened at Su Xinyu's house were almost done. The supplies she had been looking for were all settled. Therefore, she started to prepare the setting up of the stall with Hu Ya. But what the stall sells is a key issue. Things must be simple and easy to use. Raw materials must be cheap, but the taste of the products must be tempting. In this way, the lower the purchase price does not waste labor and can have a good profit.
Naturally, there was nothing to be said about the taste of the chicken pie that she had made previously. Su Xinyu could make the chicken almost taste like beef, and also make it taste like beef. But it would take too much effort. Furthermore, the quality of the fine rice noodles was expensive, and she didn't want to use it. So this can only be done occasionally. She still hoped that the grains sold every day would be the main ingredient. After all, in this era, foodstuffs were only fodder, and fodder was cheap. But there are many grains that smell better than fine rice noodles. In this world, no one understood that nutrition wasn't good enough, and no one wanted to understand that either. So everything is judged by taste and price.
Many grains are very sticky, but not fragrant enough. But there are some that smell but have no taste. Of course, kneading them together could solve the problem, but he had to grasp the ratio well. Of course, this was not difficult for Su Xinyu. It was only when she mixed the dough in proportion with six different kinds of grains, including brown rice, millet, mung beans and so on, that it finally reached the flavor she wanted. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Hu Ya had been busy working in the kitchen with the young master these past few days, so she had benefited greatly from this. She didn't think that such a mix would have such a huge change. Young Master, you're amazing. "
Su Xinyu laughed: "This will also have its uses. Putting all of these together, the price is less than one catty of brown rice. Furthermore, after we add in the filling, one catty of flour can be sold for two to two catties of cake and two and a half catties of flour. Although the stuffing also cost money, it still saved us a lot of money. The point is, we use the only piece that's not available outside. And we can add something else to this hex. It was both ever-changing and inseparable. In short, the taste and taste are impeccable. "
Hu Ya nodded strongly: "Yes! There was really nothing to pick on. Then Young Master, what should we try first? On this street, buns, noodles, dumplings, wontons, and all kinds of cakes were available. Even though our food is definitely better than theirs. "But it doesn't feel too good."
Su Xinyu sighed: "That's right. It was not too good. But no matter what we sell, it's always about stealing business from others. So I thought about how many things we make every day. If it's sold out, then so be it. Calculate our cost and daily food and clothing. He didn't have to earn too much. This will not make the other families too sad. "
Hu Ya scratched her head. "But in business, who doesn't want to earn more?"
Su Xinyu laughed: "We are setting up stalls because we want fame, not money. If not, I will just buy a shop and start a restaurant. "
Hu Ya thought that it was true too. She knew that the Young Master was not lacking in silver. Thus, she accepted this reason.
After another half a month of preparation. Su Xinyu finally decided what she wanted to sell at the beginning.
There were only two months left before the new year. Although it was not yet the time to sell the New Year's gift, people already wanted to seek good fortune in everything they did. Although the Sheep Oil Pancake was delicious, it was not very suitable. Therefore, Su Xinyu planned to make the brown sugar steamed cake and the radish biscuit for sale. Furthermore, she gave these two ordinary snacks a pleasant name. One was called "Red, Red, Fire" while the other was called "Years, Peace."
Don't look at a snack. But in the hands of Su Xinyu, it was not so simple. Besides the different flour, when Su Xinyu made the noodles, other than adding brown sugar, she also used fresh beet root juice.
The area near Haian City was rich in beets. Most of the sugar used throughout the North was made from beets. Although there was a difference between the taste of the sugar and the taste of the sugar. But their production process is similar. Another key point is that beets themselves can be used for cooking. Therefore, although the people on Haian City's side did not prefer sweet food like the people on the other sugar fields, they did not eat as little as the people in the other northern regions.
The beet root was bright red. Mix the dough with the color of sugar beet juice. In addition to the proper amount of brown sugar, Su Xinyu also added some red dates inside, so the red sugar steamed cake that came out could be said to be so bright red that it was joyous. She could even smell the fragrance of the jujube. Needless to say, sell it. When the first pot of steam was cooked and tried to eat it, Little Flower, the daughter of Zhao Family, had just opened the pot, when she secretly ran over.
The other one was carefully designed. The turnips were made from local grasses and white turnips. The white radish here is of the highest quality. Not only was it juicy, it was also very sweet because the local water was good. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was used as a fruit. A lot of old people cut up a few pieces of turnips to drink or drink tea. As long as the radish harvest season, the streets can be seen to buy a variety of white radish cake and white radish sugar small stalls.
It was precisely because Su Xinyu knew that the people here liked white radishes so much that they would eat them, thus she decided to make them. As long as this could be accepted by the local people, everyone would have an established understanding of what she was going to do in the future, and that was the taste of Su Family noodles. Fit to their taste.
Su Xinyu had made salty radish biscuit. There was no meat in it, but it gave the radish a meaty taste. The best meat for a white radish is mutton. However, there were not many people who raised sheep in the villages around the Haian City. Thus, eighty kilometers away, the Tuqiu County relied on raising sheep to get rich.
So Su Xinyu asked Zhang Ziyi to introduce him to a butcher who only knew how to run errands. From time to time, he was given mutton bones and water. Of course, he also wanted mutton. However, the amount of mutton required was far less than these inferior goods. Su Xinyu used the bones of the sheep to make the soup and added oil to clean the pig skin to cook the soup into a jelly. Then, she used the frozen mutton soup and the shredded radish to make a filling. Add a little more mutton oil and ginger onion oil and pepper to make the incense. In the end, wrap it in pastry and put it in the oven to bake. The radish biscuit baked from the fire was extremely crispy on the outside, but the juice flowed in all directions inside. The sweet and refreshing scent of the radish soup blended into one. It would be perfect if it was paired with a bowl of mutton soup that had no odor.
Although the locals didn't raise sheep, the people of the Northern Territories all liked to eat mutton. Especially since everyone knew that eating mutton in the winter warmed up their bodies. So the colder the day, the more people eat mutton. However, the mutton here was much more expensive than the mutton at Blessed Blessings. It couldn't compare to beef and donkey meat, but it was the same price as pork. Therefore, every family didn't eat mutton very often. Sheep bones and water sheep became the prize. If Su Xinyu had not gone to ask for help, she would not have been able to obtain a stable source of goods even with her small business. Of course, there was no discount on the price, which was something Su Xinyu was not that picky about.
Opening the previous day. The stalls in front of the house were filled with neighbors. Hu Ya was selling "Red Fiery" at the door. Su Xinyu told her that each piece was worth five yuan, so she would get one piece. Don't think about anything else. And to tell you that there are only five hundred brown sugar cakes. If it's sold, it's gone. She was roasting "Year-old and safe" inside.
It was the same coin for a piece, but it didn't have the discount of five dollars for a piece. Furthermore, the radish biscuit was only as big as an egg. The neighbors did not say anything, they only wanted Hu Zi to pack a few pieces, and spend a few coins to support the neighbors. However, this was the street between the food and the market, so people who went shopping couldn't help but to say a few words of disgust.
The Hu Zi did not hesitate and immediately cut the biscuit into four pieces for others to try. Did you see that? These were all fine meat noodles. There was not only radish in the pasta, but also the fresh taste of mutton soup in the mouth. Just with the stuffing, my young master cooked the mutton into shreds. Every bite is filled with essence. "
It was inevitable that the mutton would be cooked into silk. No matter how clean the bone was, there would still be some meat on it, so Hu Ya was not lying. But others did. After all, all of the broth in the biscuit instantly flowed out. How could she not smell the freshness of the mutton soup? She picked up another piece and ate it. The crispy skin, the delicious soup, and the soft and fragrant white radish were far more than just 'delicious'.
The day before, five hundred brown sugar cakes and five hundred turnips had been sold out. Although he gave away quite a few pieces of the Red Sugar Cake and had people try a few of them, he still sold them for more than four hundred coins. After all, not everyone would buy five pieces. Other than the few that he had tried to eat, the radish biscuit was sold. Thus, he bought a total of 486 gold coins. Another three pieces of money for a bowl of Sheep's Water Soup sold for over a hundred pieces of money. Even if the capital was taken out, it would still be more than six hundred words. Although this was far from enough for Su Xinyu, she was still very happy. After all, their numbers were limited.
The other three members of the family were overjoyed. During dinner time, Su Xinyu brought out the brown sugar cake and the radish biscuit that she had left to eat at home. There were still two big bowls left of Yang Shui Soup. Su Wenlan put another radish inside and the family's dinner was enough.
After such a long time, Su Mei had gotten closer to the Su Family. "Plus, she was a good person herself, so she wasn't as formal as she was in the beginning." I'll help you out tomorrow. This way, we can make more cakes and sell more copper coins. " Don't look at how Su Xinyu felt that six hundred wasn't too much. However, ordinary people would be able to live a life of prosperity for a month. And it was only a day. If it was like this every day, then it would cost one tael of silver in two days. How much a year would that be?
Seeing how both her mother and Mei were looking at her with shining eyes, although Su Xinyu was happy, she had no choice but to pour cold water on them, "You guys must not be so happy. Today was the first day. First, everyone had a fresh picture. Instead, she had the help of her neighbors. As time passed, it became uncertain. Moreover, no matter how delicious the food was, it wouldn't be eaten every day. That's why we can't sell so much every day. Besides, we have to limit the quantity when we say limit. Otherwise there will be no time for fresh food in the future. "
