Chapter 382 New Products in the Shop
"Oh, it's so delicious. Miss Fubao's cooking skills are comparable to the imperial chefs in the imperial city." One of the servants praised, holding his stomach.
"Hey, you talk like you've eaten food cooked by the royal chef," another person laughed.
"I have eaten it before. If not... Well, it's all in the past. No matter how glorious it was in the past, I'd still be a slave now. But I'm lucky. All my cousins are dead. I was bought by the Jiang family and didn't have to suffer any hardship. The food is so good every day, I'm content. I just hope the Jiang family will be rich forever so that I can stay here until I grow old."
The servant who spoke had sadness in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Speaking of this, I also remembered one thing. A few days ago, I went to buy some groceries and ran into my good friend who had fled the famine with me. She was sold to the Ding family in the town, who owned the Ding's Pastry Shop. I heard from her that the master of that family didn't even treat the servants as human beings. They ate brown rice porridge every day, which was so thin that you could see your face in it.
There was no meat at all, and it was considered good to have some cheap vegetables to eat. The master had a bad temper and would beat and scold her at any time. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her half of the reward money the master gave me and bought her a meat bun. Well, thinking about it this way, my life is not too bad. "
Another maid sighed.
"Alright, alright, we should eat such delicious food with all our heart instead of saying sad things. Our masters treat us well, so we should be loyal to them, especially Miss Fubao. Look at the dishes on the table, they are all made by her herself, and she never leaves any leftovers for us. You will never meet such a good lady in your lifetime."
After Adong finished speaking, he attracted a lot of resonance.
Various words praising Jiang Fubao were heard in the room.
Three days later.
The Jiang family bought chestnuts from everywhere and prepared to stockpile them.
Not only Jiangjia Village, but also several surrounding villages began to go to the mountains in groups to look for chestnut trees.
Want to make some money.
If we were to say who earns the most, it would definitely be Old Chen.
He knew where the chestnut tree was.
So I took my family there first.
Although he originally didn't want to take the money, Jiang Shoujia just stuffed it into his pocket. After five or six days, he earned two taels of silver, making others envious.
At the same time, Zhang Jinlan customized three seals at the seal shop.
They are all exactly the same character "Jiang".
Jiang Fubao asked his grandfather to write this word.
The handwriting is illegible but difficult to learn.
By then, even if there are fakes, they can be recognized at a glance.
Late September.
Jiang’s Snack Shop started making chestnut biscuits.
Before frying each piece of shortbread, a little natural pigment will be dipped into the stamp and printed on the shortbread.
Before this, I was a regular customer who had eaten chestnut shortbread.
I'm about to cry.
I come to the shop and ask this question every day.
It aroused everyone's curiosity.
Therefore, the chestnut shortbread has not yet been served.
It's already popular.
Chestnut biscuits can be taken away, so on the day when the new products are launched, a table is specially placed in front of the shop. Whenever a pot of biscuits is fried, it will be transported to the table in front of the shop.
This resulted in a queue on each side of Jiang's snack shop.
The two roads on the left and right look like long roads stretching through the mountains.
It makes the surrounding shops envious.
"Hey, why are there two lines for one shop?" asked a man who was accompanying his wife to visit relatives at Yue's family.
He is from Chang'an Town.
So I don’t understand the situation.
"You may not know this, but the one on the left is buying chestnut biscuits, and the one on the right is coming into the shop to eat." Kind-hearted people can be found everywhere.
Someone answered the man's question.
"Chestnut shortbread? What is this? I've never heard of it. Is it delicious?" the man asked again.
"What do you think? If it doesn't taste good, why don't we line up for fun?" Another loyal customer of Jiang's Snack Shop retorted.
Anyone who says anything bad about Jiang’s snack shop.
He was not happy at all.
"Madam, let's buy some and take them to your parents' home." The man was not angry even though he was humiliated. He said to the lady beside him with a smile.
"It's up to you. It's not expensive anyway." In the woman's impression, a bag of shortbread would cost at most two hundred yuan.
How much more expensive can it be?
When it was their turn, the couple was dumbfounded when they asked about the price.
"What? One dollar and a half? Fifty coins? If I buy twenty dollars, wouldn't it cost one ounce of silver?"
Although the man is not short of money.
But he was not so generous. He would be heartbroken if he had to spend one or two taels of silver to buy some pastries.
"Chestnut shortbread is very hard to make. It's full of precious things. We can't make much money from it. If you think it's expensive, why don't you buy five pieces to try?"
Adong and Axi were standing behind the table.
One is responsible for collecting money and the other is responsible for packing.
The two of them have been learning in the shop for so long that they have become proficient in it.
"Five dollars is too little. Let's just take twenty dollars." The man gritted his teeth and took out one or two taels of silver. There were many people in his wife's family, with seven or eight children alone. If he included the adults and the couple, if he bought less, there would not be enough to share.
Never mind. I only come twice a year, so one or two taels is enough.
He thought to himself.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away." Adong took the money. Axi counted out twenty-four pieces of biscuits and put them on the oil paper, wrapped them layer by layer, and finally tied them up with a thin hemp rope and tied a knot.
This way you can carry it.
"You, you must have counted wrong." The man was not one to take advantage of others, his eyes were fixed on Asi's hand.
Seeing that he took four more pieces, I reminded him in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, sir. Look at my poor memory. You probably didn't see the sign next to you. Today is the first day of the new product launch. Buy five chestnut biscuits and get one free. You bought twenty, so we'll give you four."
A Dong replied with a smile.
"Wow, that's great." The man's painful expression suddenly changed.
I gave four pieces in total.
That's two hundred dollars.
So the couple happily left with the oil paper bags.
The line is still going on.
The backyard is bustling with activity.
According to the custom of Ruling Prefecture, many married women would return to their parents' home to visit their relatives before the beginning of winter after the autumn harvest.
You always have to buy gifts when visiting relatives.
So most people joined in the fun and bought shortbread as gifts.
Therefore, there was no time to fry one pot, so Zhang Jinlan sent someone back to the house to take away the frying pan that her granddaughter had asked the blacksmith to make specially.
Using two pots together, the speed is faster.
"It's really strange. Why are there so few customers today? Not even half of yesterday's. Where did all the people go?" In Ding's Pastry Shop, Manager Ding stood at the door, looking outside in confusion.
"I guess it's the autumn harvest? That's why everyone is busy. There are not many people in the city." The waiter looked at the people coming and going on the street.
Telling lies with open eyes.
Rice should be harvested earlier.
So now the autumn harvest is completed everywhere.
"Nonsense, if those people outside are not humans, then what are they? Ghosts?" Ding Tao cursed angrily.
Because his voice was too loud.
Passers-by all heard it.
A few people with bad tempers stopped and glared at Ding Tao fiercely.
