A few days before the big market started, Su Ruyi heard two sisters-in-law being filled with indignation, saying that someone else selling egg pancakes had appeared in the market and robbed many of them.
Su Ruyi was busy with the homework given to her by Hu Langzhong and did not bother to check the situation, but she was not surprised.
People follow trends all the time.
He smiled and said, "The egg pancake doesn't have our Lu family's name engraved on it. Of course others can make it. Let's not be so small-minded, be big-hearted and don't be blinded by small things."
The two sisters-in-law were still a little unhappy, but thinking about it, no one stipulated that the pancakes could only be sold at home.
Su Ruyi didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so when she had spare time from doing homework, she was thinking about doing some business.
Really profitable trading does not need to be complicated, it is simple to implement and the cost is not too expensive.
Of course, you also need to cater to the needs of the public.
What do you need most at this time?
It's very simple, just eat and wear.
Su Ruyi has no way to cut into this aspect of clothing. Apart from the egg pancakes, there are other things to think about when eating them...
Yes, pumpkin pie.
Su Ruyi and Hu Langzhong took leave and had to work on their family business for a few days.
Hu Langzhong was addicted to teaching these days. He was always thinking about how he could afford the ten taels of silver tuition that Su Ruyi paid. When he had nothing to do, he took his eldest grandson to the Lu family to keep an eye on him. His eldest grandson studied with Su Ruyi. He was afraid that if Su Ruyi was lazy, word would spread that he had taught a mediocre disciple with only ten taels of silver, which would be very unpleasant.
Fortunately, Su Ruyi was not lazy. Not only was she diligent, but she also respected her teachers. She even gave herself ten taels of silver, and often invited his grandparents and grandson to have dinner. His enthusiastic appearance did not seem to be polite or pretentious at all. .
Su Ruyi means that these are all things that land management should do.
Hu Langzhong felt comfortable being the master, but his attitude became more and more severe, for fear that Su Ruyi would relax.
In this way, even his eldest grandson began to work hard without knowing it, fearing that he would be outdone by Su Ruyi.
Hu Langzhong was very pleased. It turned out that accepting a foreign disciple had this effect. His eldest grandson was not angry with him for a long time.
When Su Ruyi said she wanted to take a leave of absence, his first reaction was not to allow it, fearing that she would delay her studies. Later, he thought that she could not delay her earning money, so he agreed not to be particularly willing.
One year is such a short time, how can you learn true skills if you don’t seize the time?
It will snow and enter winter after a while. It will not be appropriate for me to run to the Lu family at that time. Winter is long and all that time is spent. How can I let Su Ruyi learn more things so that I will not fall into mediocrity in the future? The name of the teacher...
Hu Langzhong began to think about it.
Su Ruyi, when she got the leave, she went to the town to buy things. When she came back, she brought back a big bag of vegetables, a few cabbages, a bunch of cucumbers, two big pumpkins, and other things that were not at home. fresh vegetables.
Ms. Zhang was not surprised by this. She was used to it. Her daughter-in-law knew a good vegetable grower. He could grow anything. Unfortunately, he didn’t like to interact with the outside world. He didn’t see him selling vegetables in the town. It's in Su Ruyi's hands.
Su Ruyi said that these dishes were very valuable, and Mrs. Zhang felt that the man was also a good businessman. Although the quantity sold was not large, the price was high, and it saved a lot of effort——
In short, Ms. Zhang was still trying to figure it out at first, but later she got used to it and didn't bother to think about it anymore. It seemed like there was nothing to think about.
After Su Ruyi had the raw materials, she started to fiddle with them.
Peel the old pumpkin and dig out the seeds, cut it into small pieces, steam it in a steamer, squeeze it into a puree, and mix it with flour. There is also a lot of sugar in it, and the dough that comes out is golden and attractive.
Then let it rise.
Mrs. Zhang took the soles of her shoes and leaned against the door frame of the kitchen to look at them. She was surprised: "Ruyi, where did you learn these things?"
How can they, poor people, find so many ways to eat?
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, didn't I go to Tongzhou and learn a few tricks from others?"
In fact, I learned it from my parents. The two of them liked to mess around in the kitchen. They learned some things by their own eyes and ears when they were alive, but it's a pity——
Although I later started my own business and became more and more materially wealthy, I was too lazy to go to the kitchen to eat alone, but the few kitchen skills I learned from my parents have always been deeply impressed in my mind.
Zhang sighed: "People have to go to big places, but big places are different."
After Su Ruyi went there, the deal was done, which was very magical.
After dinner in the evening, the kitchen was cleaned up. Su Ruyi took off her sleeves and got to work.
Everyone found it interesting and crowded around the kitchen to watch, especially the children, who kept sucking saliva. They would never go to bed without taking a bite of this delicious food.
The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law all helped. According to Su Ruyi's instructions, they cut the golden dough into evenly sized dough balls, pressed it with their hands, moved the rolling pin, and made two cuts in the center of the dough with a knife.
The preparations were almost done. Su Ruyi threw a handful of firewood into the stove and let the fire start again. The water in the pot was dry, and she picked up the can of soybean oil and poured it into it.
Zhang: "!!!"
I watched half the pot of oil pouring down!
Does this thing turn out to be more luxurious than that egg pancake?
Not only her, but others were also stunned.
Who eats oil so much?
That's oil, not water!
But everyone remained silent. Ever since the egg cakes made money, everyone began to unconditionally believe in Su Ruyi. She knew how to make money. Those of you who didn't know better should not speak casually, so as not to make Su Ruyi unhappy.
Except for the little yellow dog behind everyone who let out a cry of milk, everyone held their breath and looked at the half-filled pot of oil, as if flowers could grow out of it.
In the end, Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back her anger: "Ruyi, how much does such a pancake cost?"
That pancake doesn't look like the size of a hand... It sells for five or six cents, so it's not easy to sell, right? But if you can’t sell it, then what’s the point?
Su Ruyi: "Three cents is enough."
She calculated the cost, which was flour, sugar and oil. One pancake didn't cost much at all.
Then there are the pumpkins, and the cabbage leaves used to wrap the pads.
These two items are produced in space. They are different from those outside and have high value. But now their value is not known and recognized by outsiders, and they can only be treated as ordinary pumpkins and cabbages. If they have to set a high price, they will not cut them. It is practical and ridiculous, and it will bring no benefit at all.
Even because Su Ruyi didn't spend any money to get them, the cost can be ignored for the time being.
Calculated in this way, even if a pancake costs one penny, it can make a profit of two pence.
Compared with egg pancakes, pumpkin pancakes can be made at home and taken to the town to be sold directly. Unlike egg pancakes, customers need to wait.
It can be said that the profit of pumpkin cake is more than that of egg cake.
