The egg yolk cake was made suddenly. Xiao Wu didn't bring that much money, so he could only pay him the money for the egg yolk cake tomorrow.
As for the mooncakes, the mooncakes need to be reoiled and cannot be sold for the time being.
However, Tao Zhu asked Xiao Wu to tell Shopkeeper Wang that his family will sell a lot of mooncakes this year, and Shopkeeper Wang can advertise to diners first.
After listening to Tao Zhu's explanation, Xiao Wu finished the corn juice in his hand.
He put down the bowl and said with a smile: "In fact, there is no need for the shopkeeper to promote it. As long as it is branded as Brother Li, people will definitely rush to buy it."
Tao Zhu smiled when he heard this: "My snacks are expensive and the quantity is large. Most people can't afford it. I can only count on the rich and noble people to buy it."
"Brother Tao, don't worry about this. The most indispensable thing in Wangyue Tower now is the rich. Autumn is about to begin, the sweet potatoes are about to mature, and more and more big businessmen are coming to our county."
"These people are very wealthy. A meal at Wangyue Tower can cost more than ten taels of silver. As long as your snacks are delicious, they will definitely be willing to pay for them."
"Also, didn't the shopkeeper distribute number plates to the vendors in the order of first come, first served? In order to get the goods early, these big merchants who came late paid high prices to buy the number plates in front of them. At least a thousand taels of silver."
"This made the vendors at the front of the queue so happy that they sold the number tags without hesitation. They also said they would line up early next year so they could still sell number tags."
These vendors are all locals in Pingcheng and know Shopkeeper Wang well.
Therefore, since these people were at the front of the queue, Shopkeeper Wang gave them their number plates as a matter of business.
Xiao Wu sighed as he spoke. If shopkeeper Wang hadn't banned people from Wangyue Tower from queuing up, then he would have wanted to mix up some number plates and resell them, and he would have been able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
Li Qiao was a little surprised when he heard this. Good guy, has vermicelli already given birth to the profession of scalpers?
What a huge profit.
Just waiting in line, a thousand taels of silver change hands.
Sad.
Not only Li Qiao was sighing, but other people in the yard couldn't help shouting after hearing this.
Li Dashan said: "This money is so easy to earn, I want to earn it too!"
"No, we make snacks every day and can only earn more than a hundred taels of silver a day. These people are really good, and they can earn a thousand taels of silver once they change hands!"
Zheng Qianqian was also extremely envious.
So much money is in the hands of outsiders.
The fat flows out of the outsider's field!
Li Shu was so shocked that she couldn't eat anymore, and her heart was bleeding. The money should have belonged to her younger brother.
"Xiao Qiao, can this situation be changed?" She couldn't help but ask Li Qiao.
She could tolerate a hundred taels, but that was a thousand taels!
Li Qiao shook his head when he heard this: "We can't stop it. Rich people are not short of money. If they are not allowed to buy number plates, then they can buy vermicelli from the vendor in front. In the end, it will still be the same."
At present, Hexi Mansion has a monopoly on vermicelli. If he wants to monopolize such a huge benefit, that is impossible.
The only thing he can control is the production process. Once the goods leave his hands, he has no control over them.
Letting the local vendors take the money is better than nothing, and it makes the local vendors rich.
"Then the rules can't be changed?" Zheng Qianqian couldn't help but ask.
A lot of money!
"In business, once the rules have been established, they cannot be changed at will, especially if they are changed to make us profit."
Li Qiao shook his head.
The sweet potato production has decreased this year, and although the vermicelli business has expanded from Pingcheng to five counties in Hexi Prefecture, the profit has not been as expected.
And since the Holy Spirit advertised the vermicelli, all the big businessmen in Dasheng might get involved. In this case, he really couldn't control the high price the vermicelli would fetch.
That’s all, what should I do?
The vermicelli was no longer under his control, he just waited to get the money.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are only eight months left before next year's college entrance examination, he has to concentrate on his studies.
After Xiao Wu left, Li Qiao went back to the backyard to study.
Tao Zhu was making snacks with Li Dashan and others.
Tao Zhu stopped making snacks for a while. He did some housework every day, cooked something he and Li Qiao liked to eat, or read some miscellaneous books. He had some leisure in his busy days.
But now that there are a lot of salted eggs and salted duck eggs at home, he decided to make egg yolk cakes to try to consume more egg yolks.
Shopkeeper Wang only tasted the egg yolk cake made by Tao Zhu, and then he couldn't help but slap the table. It tastes so good!
If the purchase price is sixty cents a piece, then he can sell it a hundred cents a piece.
Anyway, there are many big businessmen in his shop these days, and they can afford such expensive snacks.
Moreover, this snack was made by Mr. Li Qiaofu Tao Zhu himself. For this handiwork alone, people would buy even one hundred and fifty yuan, not to mention one hundred and fifty yuan.
Shopkeeper Wang selected a few businessmen from other places to sell egg yolk cakes to them.
These businessmen have eaten dim sum all over the world, but this is the first time they have seen dim sum like egg yolk cake.
Just looking at the appearance, they are all yellow and bulging, and they are very cute.
Picking one up and biting it open, there are four layers in total, one layer after another. The outer layer is crispy and crumbly, but the inside is soft, not too sweet, and the texture is extremely delicate. Whether you devour it voraciously or chew it slowly. Swallow, there are only two words:
tasty.
And it was different from the snacks they had eaten.
The food is delicious and fresh. The eyes of these businessmen can’t help but light up. It’s another business opportunity!
It's a pity that Li Qiao doesn't sell his seeds.
What a good money opportunity, Li Qiao actually refused.
These big businessmen couldn't buy prescriptions, so they could only buy snacks.
Anyway, waiting here is just waiting, it’s better to eat more fresh food. Several snacks made by Li Qiao are only available in Pingcheng. If you leave Pingcheng, you won’t be able to eat them.
With the support of these big businessmen, Tao Zhu's egg yolk cakes are selling smoothly.
While Tao Zhu was busy making egg yolk cakes, Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian also speeded up the process of making mooncakes. They worked together as a couple, much faster than Tao Zhu alone.
Moreover, Li Dashan is very strong and never tired. Unlike Tao Zhu, he still has to make soup for Li Qiao. Therefore, Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian can make up to 400 mooncakes in one day.
Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian's mooncakes became very popular as soon as they went on sale.
The price of mooncakes is cheaper than egg yolk cakes, ranging from fifteen to twenty-five cents per piece, and ordinary people can afford it.
Relying on egg yolk crisps and moon cakes, Li Qiao's family's snack income has increased from more than ten taels a day to more than thirty taels a day.
This stable income makes Tao Zhu very happy. He can see the money coming into his account every day, which is solid!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qiao's watermelons matured in a large area.
He planted a total of twenty acres of watermelons. His family, relatives and friends would not be able to eat so many watermelons, so he took out some for sale.
There are very few people in Pingcheng who grow watermelons, and even fewer who are willing to sell them. His watermelons were planted late and matured late. Everyone else’s watermelons were eaten up before they were put on the market here. Therefore, this The only market was occupied by him again.
In Pingcheng, watermelon is a rare fruit that is not affordable for ordinary people, so he is unambiguous when pricing it. One catty costs ten cents, and a three-catty small watermelon costs thirty cents.
In the past, it would have been impossible to consume his expensive watermelon just by relying on the local rich and noble people in Pingcheng.
But now many out-of-town businessmen and people come to Pingcheng to taste delicious food and have fun. In addition, he is famous, so his watermelons can be sold out every day.
His family's fields employ many long-term workers, and they drill many wells to provide sufficient irrigation. Therefore, other people's crops have reduced production, but his family's harvest has been bumper. The watermelon output per mu has reached 5,000 kilograms.
Ten cents per catty, five thousand catties is 50,000 copper coins, which is fifty taels of silver.
One acre of land can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, and twenty acres is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.
Of course, you have to subtract the cost of food for your own family, seeds, labor, etc., but even if you exclude these, you can still earn hundreds of taels of silver from these twenty acres of watermelon.
Li Qiao felt the happiness of the local owner.
So happy.
He could earn so much from twenty acres of watermelons, but now he has more than two hundred acres of land!
If you include sweet potatoes, you can earn even more.
This year he planted one hundred acres of sweet potatoes, just like watermelons, and his sweet potatoes are irrigated enough and have no shortage of water. Therefore, other people's sweet potatoes may only produce about 1,200 kilograms per acre this year, but his sweet potatoes are still Two thousand pounds.
An acre of land costs two thousand catties, and one catty costs two cents. Two thousand catties is four thousand cents.
So one hundred acres is four hundred taels of silver.
No wonder everyone wants to be a landlord. He only has about 200 acres of land in his hands, so he can only be regarded as a small landlord. But because he grows the right crops, he can earn nearly a thousand taels of silver from these 200 acres of land in a year.
How can one word "Shuang" be so good and one can make a lot of money?
In order to be happier, I have to continue to buy fields. Li Qiao's goal is to become a big landowner, but now he is still a long way from being a big landowner.
However, when Li Qiao was planning to buy land, Song Shitou came to find him.
Song Shitou, Li Shu’s ex-husband, although his family had a craft, they also engaged in farming, so when the magistrate of their county asked to grow sweet potatoes to make vermicelli, he heard the name Li Qiao.
At first he thought he heard it wrong, but later he was sure it was Li Qiao, and he thought he had the same name. After all, he knew how rotten and bastard Li Qiao was in the past.
But soon he heard that it was Li Qiao from Sanliu Village, and now he could no longer doubt it.
It was Li Qiao, the younger brother of Li Shu, the hen that couldn't lay eggs.
Realizing this, Song Shitou felt complicated.
The dead man is about to make a comeback, and Li Shu, the hen that cannot lay eggs, was divorced by him...
Annoyed and regretful, he wished he could slap himself with his hand. Why didn't he come to Sanliu Village to find out before divorcing his wife?
Although the hen Li Shu didn't lay eggs, she suddenly turned into a golden hen.
He let go of a golden hen that lays gold!
After thinking about it, Song Shitou hesitated and decided to come to Li Shu. He was the father of two children, and Li Shu had always been weak-tempered. As long as he showed repentance, Li Shu would not be able to forgive him for a while. That would surely forgive him in the end.
With this idea in mind, Song Shitou brought several men from the Song family to Sanliu Village, hoping that Li Shu would change his mind and return to the Song family.
Song Shitou took the initiative to send it to the door, and there was such a good thing.
Li Qiao was studying in the study at that time, and Tao Zhu came to the study to tell him the matter. He was stunned for a moment, then happily hugged Tao Zhu and kissed her hard.
