"Mom, do you know how much the most expensive cakes sold by Daoxiang Pastry Shop cost per catty or a box, and how much is the cheapest." Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
"Jujube cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are the most expensive and most popular. A pack weighs one kilogram. If it comes in a box, there are 8 pieces in a box, and the price is set at 500 yuan. Mung bean cake and red bean cake are cheaper, priced at 100 yuan a kilogram. arts."
Su Lele pondered for a while and said, "How about hawthorn cake and chicken cake, which are sold for 200 Wen per catty, and milk buns, which are sold for 300 Wen per catty?"
After referring to the pastry prices at Daoxiang Pastry Shop, Su Lele decided to take the middle value.
"The price is OK, neither high nor low. The taste is better than the ones from Daoxiang Pastry Shop. It will definitely sell well."
Others have no objections. Three new products will be released tomorrow. There are more and more types. The workshop will be opened soon. The goal of the snack shop has taken another step forward.
Su Lele was filled with joy, holding hawthorn cakes in her left hand and milk buns in her right hand. As she walked back to the garden, she hummed: Wearing a big red coat
Wearing a flower on the head
Rouge and powder rubbed on her face
A chicken in the left hand
A duck on the right hand
There's a fat doll on her back too
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
Maid Qiu Yu recalled it several times in her mind but could not remember what song it was.
Of course I can't remember it. This is the famous modern song "Go Back to My Mother's Home". Su Lele was happily singing the song "Go Back to My Mother's Home" as she returned to Bieyuan.
Since the pastry began to be sold, it has become extremely popular and the daily supply exceeds demand. Many customers who couldn't buy it repeatedly suggested that Su's family sell more cakes in larger quantities, but Su Lele always adhered to his original intention and did not increase the quantity, insisting that each pastry be baked fresh every day.
Uncle Chen kept accounts every day. The sun was shining brightly on this day. Su Lele was sitting in the pavilion of Bieyuan to calculate the amount of income and expenses during this period. In just a few days, the house had made a net profit of more than 800 taels. This I couldn't even think about it before.
The family has made money, and Su Lele plans to be generous. Each person in the family will be rewarded with 10 taels, and each servant in the family will receive 1 tael. The remaining silver taels will be used for operations and future workshops.
After instructing Uncle Chen to distribute the money to his servants, Su Lele took the money to his grandfather's garden and gave it to his grandfather first. He would probably be too happy to find it later.
After arriving at Grandfather's Villa, Su Lele noticed from a distance that his parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law were all there. What a coincidence. Just as I was about to walk in, I heard the shocking news.
"Oh, blame me. After Lele's dementia was cured, I happily forgot about this matter. Her birthday is only a month away. What should I do?" Wang Huilan blamed herself for forgetting such an important thing.
"I don't blame you, I am also responsible. In the past few days, Yi Xing and I went to inquire about the news and ask whether the husband who is not yet married is a match for his daughter." Su Qinghe said seriously.
Su Lele was confused when she heard this. Why was it related to her marriage? She was only 17 years old. Although in ancient times, she was not very old. She was just sick and her family cared about her so much. She shouldn't be so quick. Let her get married!
"Well, hurry up and find a suitable husband to marry Lele before her birthday, otherwise..." Grandfather Su Dong was rarely serious.
Su Lele glanced at the maid Qiu Yu and saw that she also had a serious face. Come on, there must be something she doesn't know. She moved back to her villa, sat on the stone table, and pondered for a while: "Qiu Yu, what's going on at home?" It’s not like you’re hiding something from me.”
"Actually, I'm not hiding anything from you, young lady. Dayun Country has always had a written rule: on the day when a man reaches 22 years old and a woman reaches 18 years old, if they are not married yet, the government will take action to give these men and women Madam, choose a relatively suitable match for your marriage."
Oh my God, this is forcing older men and women to find a partner to get married to!
No wonder her grandfather and the others wanted her to get married before her birthday. They were worried that the government would marry her to an undesirable partner. What if she chooses a crooked person? Her family thinks about her and wants to find her a satisfactory husband through her colleagues and the officials she knows.
Su Lele was very depressed. In ancient times, she was going to get married in more than a month. In modern times, at the age of 26, she is still single and has the freedom to marry.
What should I do? Serve it cold?
She was not the only one troubled by her marriage at this time.
Second Prince's Mansion Yijing Pavilion
Leng Yichen, who was originally taciturn, has become even more inhumane and cold since returning from the palace.
The Emperor and Queen of Dayun Kingdom have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love since they got married. The Emperor has always had only one Queen in his harem. Although it was controversial, fortunately the queen had a good belly and gave birth to four princes and a princess. As the Dayun Kingdom had sufficient military strength and food supplies, and neighboring countries coexisted peacefully, the officials gave up the idea of the emperor having concubines to consolidate the imperial power, and started to spread their influence.
But the marriage tradition of Dayun Country cannot be broken.
A few years ago, Dayun Kingdom established a crown prince: Leng Yiting, Leng Yichen's eldest brother. Leng Yiting has married Xie Yiqing, the daughter of the prime minister, as the crown princess, and has a pair of 4-year-old twins, a boy and a girl.
Seeing that Leng Yichen's 22nd birthday was still half a month away, he had no choice but to declare him to the palace for questioning.
The queen mother has already told him that if he has a woman he likes, she doesn't care much about being well-matched and can help him convince the emperor. The queen mother also reminded him earnestly: Your birthday is only half a month away, and you can still take the initiative now. Once the birthday arrives, you can only passively follow the arrangements.
"Yichen, I heard that you are going to marry Yun Zhishu, the daughter of the minister, right! It's been spread in the streets and alleys." Leng Yunmo looked like a melon on his face and walked into the study while munching on salt-baked pine nuts.
There was silence for a while, but no reply was received from Leng Yichen.
Fortunately, he still has two years before he turns 22, and he can still be free for two years.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yichen, who has always been strategizing and confident in his work, would also have things that stump him.
"To be honest, Yun Zhishu is a good match for you. She is well-educated and talented. I heard that she is almost 18 years old and has not yet gotten married because she is waiting for you. If you marry such a woman, you can at least respect each other as a guest."
Leng Yunmo felt that his analysis was sound and logical, but Leng Yichen remained silent.
"Why do you look so calm and unfazed? Then Yun Zhishu is the best candidate. If you don't choose, we will arrange to match you with a concubine, and it will most likely be her."
