The output of pine nuts is low, and Su Lele plans to sell them for 500 Wen per catty, while chestnuts are cheaper, at 20 Wen per catty.
Su Lele didn't plan to sell the pine nuts she made today, so she gave some to her grandfather's old friends and kept some for herself. I plan to take some to give to guests to try, and the rest to give away.
The third brother has been back to the academy for a few days, and it is estimated that he will have a holiday for half a month. If there is delicious food, his share is indispensable. Su Lele planned to give him two large packages of pine nuts, one package each of salt-baked flavor and original flavor, the same goes for chestnuts, one package each of sugar-fried chestnuts and ice magic chestnuts, one package of each of the three flavors of fish eggs, and two packages of fruit peel. Of course, I also gave a copy to my eldest brother’s father-in-law, Mr. Li Shanchang of Qingshan Academy.
Chen Dali was asked to send it to the academy, and told him to tell his third brother and Li Shanchang that the Ice Demon chestnuts should be eaten immediately, otherwise the taste would be affected. The fish balls and fried chestnuts must be eaten that day.
Castle Peak Academy
"Brother Su, your servants came to see you. Is there something going on at home?" Wei Yushu asked with concern.
"I guess my family is here to deliver delicious food!"
"Yes, these big and small bags are heavy in your hand. Brother Su, let me get some for you."
Several of Su Yian's academy friends: Wei Yushu, Cao Dezhi, and Xu Hengyuan heard that Su Yian's servants were looking for him, so they also came to join in the fun.
"My second sister has made a new product. Let me try it. You guys are in for a treat." Su Yi'an felt very happy. The second sister was so kind to him!
"The fish balls are springy, the meat is firm and delicious."
"Iced chestnuts are also delicious, and sugar-fried chestnuts are also good."
"Try these pine nuts. The pine nuts are very fragrant."
Su Yian watched these friends eating with gusto, and saw that the fish balls were almost gone: You guys, please take it easy, leave some for me!
When Mr. Li returned to his courtyard, Mrs. Li was eating sweet roasted chestnuts.
"Husband, come and try some. These snacks are very delicious. Lele told me that the chestnuts and fish balls should be eaten that day. Lele gave me a lot, so I gave some to the masters in the academy to try. .”
"Madam, you are interested. Lele has made something delicious. Let me try it." Li Shanchang said as he tasted a fish egg egg.
Several snacks captured everyone's taste buds, the most popular of which is undoubtedly: pine nuts.
It seems that intellectuals who study have good taste!
At noon on the second day, after Su Lele had lunch, he took his maid Qiu Yu towards the Zhujia Iron Shop in Nancheng District.
This morning I have asked Uncle Chen to find craftsmen to come to the house to make several large ovens, and the pastries can be put on the agenda.
"Boss, these iron plates and pans are well made. Please come back to help me next time."
"Thank you for taking care of me, girl."
After Su Lele paid the remaining balance, he took his maid Qiu Yu to the Daoxiang Pastry Shop branch in Nancheng District.
Fortunately, the number of people queuing in front of the pastry shop at this time was not too large compared to the last time she saw it in Xicheng District. Su Lele planned to experience what it was like to queue in ancient times, but when it was her turn...
"Miss, are you okay?" Qiu Yu looked distressed at her young lady's tired legs.
"It's okay." Su Lele thought to herself: It's better not to try it easily. In modern times, if you don't schedule enough, you will suffer.
After buying a few pastries, we headed back home. To develop new products: pastries, you must first understand how ancient pastries tasted, so that you can win every battle.
"Lele, you went to buy the pastries from Daoxiang Shop. I haven't eaten them for a long time and I miss them a little." Her mother-in-law, Wang Huilan, watched her daughter and her maid Qiu Yu come back with large and small bags.
"Mom, come and try some. I bought some pastries."
"This jujube cake is really good, and the mung bean cake is also delicious." Su Lele watched her mother eating with gusto, and she also took a bite of their signature jujube cake: the taste was okay, the jujube was a bit sweet, not crispy enough, authentic. The jujube paste cake is sweet but not greasy and crispy.
Su Lele took another bite of the mung bean cake, which was not delicate enough but too sweet. Su Lele took a few sips of tea.
"Mom, I plan to make a few pastries to sell first." After eating the pastries from Daoxiang Pastry Shop, Su Lele was full of confidence.
"Lele, you can also make pastries! Then you don't have to queue up to eat pastries in the future. After your sister-in-law became pregnant, she suddenly wanted to eat Daoxiang's pastries, and it would take an hour for my servants to buy them back."
"Mom, I can make a variety of pastries, just wait and eat them!"
"Granddaughter, what are you going to make delicious food?" Grandfather Su Donggang saw the craftsmen starting work in the kitchen garden. After asking the servants, he learned that his granddaughter had asked someone to do it.
"pastry."
"The pastries are so sweet. My grandfather doesn't like them very much."
"The pastries I make are sweet but not greasy."
"Really? Then when will you do it for grandpa? Wait a moment?"
"After the oven is built, we have to wait a few days." It is said that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
The hills behind Liujia Village have been very lively these days, with crowds of people, and families of all ages have been out picking up chestnuts around the hill. There is a clear division of labor: one is responsible for shelling and the other is responsible for picking up chestnuts. The young and strong boys went to the pine forest to pick up pine cones. Some of the more flexible ones climbed up to the pine trees and beat the cones with long sticks.
Everyone's face is filled with happiness, and they are praising the master's family in their hearts. A family with a large family can earn hundreds of cash a day, and a family with a small family can earn dozens of cash. In this capital, even the chief bookkeeper and the accountant can earn a day. You can't make that much either. The pine nuts and chestnuts can be collected for several months, and the money earned is probably more than the previous year combined.
Like Liu Shitou's family, they are busy working separately, but his family has an extra income: picking red fruits.
"Ms. sir, come and have some pancakes, and then get busy after eating." Mrs. Chen said with a smile on her face.
Thinking that some time ago, the family was almost in trouble, but now the family has saved some money, she dare not even think about it, and she is more and more looking forward to the future!
Liu Shitou thought the same as his wife. Seeing that his wife had been busy in and out every day since she married into his family, and sometimes she didn't have enough to eat. In addition to feeling distressed, he also blamed himself and blamed himself for his inability. Fortunately, Met the kind-hearted girl Su.
"Madam, I've thought about it. In addition to picking red fruits every day, our family wants to pick more chestnuts and pine nuts. We don't have enough manpower. I plan to tell my father-in-law that there are many pine forests in the mountains behind Chenjia Village. My father-in-law's house It’s not an easy life either, so I let my brother-in-law and the others do the work of picking pine nuts.”
Mrs. Chen remembered that when she was young, she often went to Chenjia Village to collect firewood. She also picked up a lot of pine cones and used them to burn as firewood.
"Yes, I have to go back quickly to tell my parents the good news." Mrs. Chen was grateful that her husband-in-law could still consider her mother's family. She didn't know how her mother's family was doing now.
