PDLP Chapter 266 Temporary Business
Chapter 266 Temporary Business
The big meat dumplings can be imitated and chased because pork can be bought at the market. But if you want to imitate the egg yolk dumplings, you have to ask Hualei to buy salted duck eggs first. Isn't this Hualei making a profit from the salted duck eggs?
There are many merchants in Shangjing City who imitate salted duck eggs, but for some reason, the salted duck eggs they make are not oily or sandy, and the taste is sometimes salty and sometimes bland, which is always difficult to control. When you crack the eggshell of the salted duck eggs made by Hualei and poke them with chopsticks, the egg yolk oil will squeak out. What is the trick here? Of course, this trick is probably impossible to find out.
Hualei didn’t know what others were thinking, she only knew that she was very busy, busy doing things, busy making money, and busy counting money.
In mid-April, the Imperial Academy held a unique entertainment event, similar to the sports meeting of the school in the previous life, with competitions divided into A, B, C, and D. However, the content was slightly different from that of the previous life. Generally, it was pitching pots, archery, and horse hurdles, which were suitable for students who knew martial arts. Of course, there were also activities such as danqi, cuju, and tug-of-war, which students who did not know martial arts could also participate in.
Students can sign up for the event on their own, and as long as the event time does not conflict, they can participate. Having just finished the county exam, these Imperial College students who took the prefectural exam are like birds released from a cage, letting go and having fun.
The Imperial College also relaxed its classes, allowing students to relax and have fun. During the event, parents were allowed to come to the Imperial College to cheer their children on, and students living in the dormitory could go home every day during the event.
Xiaoyuan and Rongjue also participated in the activities of the Dingzi class. When Hualei was in the carriage picking them up from school, they couldn't wait to share with Hualei the activities they would participate in in the next ten days, such as Cuju and tug-of-war. They participated in everything they could. They were extremely excited, and Hualei's nerves also began to get excited.
Thousands of students and their parents gathered together to play, so they would definitely buy some snacks and desserts, right? And the quantity would not be small, so could I set up a stall to make money? I just don't know if I can set up a stall in the Imperial College?
Hua Lei's mind was working fast. She asked Rong Jin, who came back late, but he said that there was no such precedent in the Imperial College in the past few years. Is it not possible? Hua Lei felt a little regretful. Should she ask Gui Jijiu? Ask him to help?
After thinking about it, Hualei gave up. It was better not to ask for favors for such a small matter. It would be bad if Gui Jijiu got into trouble. However, she didn't want to give up the temporary stall business easily. It was such a good opportunity. Although it only lasted for ten days, as long as she seized the opportunity, she would make a lot of money.
Can't enter the Imperial College? It doesn't matter. Can't you just set up a stall at the entrances of the Imperial College? Anyway, students and parents have to go in through the gates, and then these parents and students can buy snacks and bring them in. Moreover, the children in the Imperial College all have their own servants to take care of their lives. The servants can enter and leave the gate of the Imperial College freely, and buying things is the job of the servants.
The next day was a day off. Hualei immediately went to the farm and found a dozen mule carts. She carefully cleaned the carriages and even gave the mules a bath. Because mule carts were used to deliver goods, the carriages were open, just a flat plate surrounded by wooden boards. The carriages looked very much like the small carts that sold breakfast in the previous life.
I could use it myself, so after cleaning it, I found a clean coarse cloth to pave the inside of the mule cart and fixed it in place. In this way, the temporary trailer pulled by the mule for sale was completed.
Then I asked the tofu shop to soak dozens of kilograms of soybeans to make more soy milk. I also transferred some people to the meat floss group to help. In the next ten days, I tried to make as much meat floss as possible, and it was better to package it in half a kilogram per bag.
I also asked Aunt Zhao to make a batch of fancy snacks every day in the next ten days. There were taro plum cakes, green tea mung bean cakes, and egg yolk cakes. I haven't made egg yolk cakes for a long time, it's time to make a comeback and make a presence. It's a pity that there are not many flower cakes left, the flowers in Baihua Manor have been almost all picked up by the anxious Aunt Zhao, but I should be able to make dozens of them every day.
Of course, Hualei first went to Uncle Zhao and asked him to make a batch of bamboo tubes. This was easy. A lot of bamboo had been cut for making toothbrushes and placed in front of the workshop. There was no time to cut them. Now Hualei needed bamboo tubes. Immediately, more than a dozen men lined up and started cutting the bamboo tubes. As soon as the bamboo tubes fell to the ground, another group of people immediately started grinding and cleaning them. By the next day when Hualei needed them, hundreds of bamboo tubes had been neatly stacked in a corner of the mule cart.
On the mule cart, a large bucket of fresh soybean milk was still steaming. A bamboo tube cost five cents, and you could choose salty or sweet. Egg yolk cakes, green tea and mung bean cakes, taro paste plum cakes, and flower cakes cost fifty cents each. A bag of half a pound of pork floss cost three hundred cents. Are you dazzled and have no idea what to choose?
It doesn't matter. There are two sets, A and B. Set A has a pack of pork floss and four dim sum for a total of 500 wen, and two bamboo tubes of soy milk. Set B has a pack of pork floss and two dim sum for a total of 400 wen, and a bamboo tube of soy milk. Isn't this very convenient? There are dim sum, snacks, and drinks. It's all here.
So, on the first day of the Imperial College's entertainment activities, more than a dozen mule carts were parked at several gates of the Imperial College, as well as at several major street intersections in front of the Imperial College. Hualei also arranged several temporary stalls, with the main focus on not missing any of them.
Didn't see it at the intersection? The carriage was going fast? Okay, you should slow down at the gate of the Imperial College, right? Can you buy it now? You think it's expensive at the street corner? Can't bear to buy it? It doesn't matter, the gate of the Imperial College is tempting you again?
Adults may be able to resist it, but children can hardly resist it. So buy it, it only happens once a year. Buy one and try it, wow, the soy milk is so thick and sweet, the snacks are so fresh, and the meat floss tastes so special. One portion is not enough, anyway, it's only 500 coins, buy another portion, just one tael of silver.
Therefore, Xiaoxiao, Xiaohe, and Xiaolian, who were temporarily transferred here, were busy collecting money. The stalls at the gate of the Imperial College were even more short of goods to sell, so Hualei asked Tian Xiaoquan and Tian Xiaoan, who had just delivered the ingredients, to help deliver another batch of soy milk, snacks, and meat floss, finally making the stalls fully stocked. Then, the tofu group, snack group, and meat floss group continued to work overtime to make the goods.
