Chapter 46 Selling Loquat Cake

I need to go to town tomorrow, so Xue Ning goes to bed early at night.

Although she was a little sad to be rejected by Mu Chenghe, she couldn't stay immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate herself. She still had to live her life.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, she can only promise to live up to the good times every day.

The next morning, Xue Ning got up at dawn.

It rained last night, and the village looked particularly clean after being washed by the rain.

The air is also very clear.

Xue Ning got up, washed up, and went into the kitchen.

The water in the loquat cake that was put in the cupboard yesterday has almost evaporated. The prepared loquat cake is brown in color and has walnut kernels inside. It looks similar to donkey hide gelatin cake.

The texture is sticky and chewy, and the taste is very good.

Xue Ning cut the shaped loquat cake into small pieces of even size, and then put the cut cakes into a basket to sell.

There were no plastic bags in this era, so we had to use oil paper to hold cakes for guests.

For easy access, Xue Ning also brought a hemp rope.

When the time comes to pack the pastries, they can be tied up with hemp rope, which is convenient and easy to carry.

After getting ready, Xue Ning put on her crossbody bag and carried the basket and went out.

She got up too early and met no one on the way to the town. Xue Ning was unable to get on the ox cart this time and had to walk there.

When we arrived in the town, several major factories had not started working yet.

Xue Ning quickly went to the department store and bought a hook scale.

After coming out of the department store, I found a deserted place and dressed up briefly. I covered most of my face with a gauze scarf and put on an old straw hat on my head so that no one would recognize me.

Get her out.

In this era, it was not allowed to do business. If you were caught, the consequences would be serious. In order to ensure your own safety, disguise was a must.

She specially wore an old-style dress today to make herself look like an aunt.

After pretending to be an aunt, Xue Ning took the loquat cake to the entrance of a nearby textile factory and squatted there.

Her figure is very thin, so her target won't be too big even if she squats there.

As the workers in the factory went to work one after another, someone saw Xue Ning.

Xue Ning was not timid. She placed her basket in a conspicuous place and said, "Sister, would you like some fresh loquat cake?"

An aunt in her forties walked up to Xue Ning and looked at the things in the basket. She felt that the dark appearance was not good-looking at all. She frowned and said, "What the hell is this! It looks dark, it must be pretty."

Unappetizing."

Xue Ning was not angry either. He cut off a small piece of loquat cake and handed it to the aunt, "Sister, try it and see if it tastes good before buying it. It's free to try it."

The aunt took it dubiously and took a bite carefully.

A very strong loquat aroma explodes in your mouth, and the texture is very chewy. It is not only the aroma of loquat, but also the crispness of walnut kernels. Such pastries are very chewy when paired together.

Anyway, my aunt has never eaten this kind of strange pastry before.

"This thing of yours looks ugly, but it tastes delicious. I just didn't have breakfast. Why are you selling it? Pack some for me."

Xue Ning said with a smile, "The materials used to make loquat ointment are genuine. They are all the best loquats and walnuts. I am also an honest person and will not raise prices randomly. We sell by the kilogram, one and a half yuan per kilogram."

, no votes required.”

She also calculated the cost before setting the price.

In this era, walnuts cost 50 cents per catty. She used two and a half catties of walnuts, and the cost was 1.25 yuan.

Loquats cost 2.5 cents per catty, totaling 15 catties of loquats, and the cost is 3.75 yuan.

The total cost of making loquat paste is almost 5 yuan.

With so many ingredients, we finally got 5 kilograms of loquat cake. When converted, one kilogram of loquat paste costs one yuan.

She has been busy for so long, so she also needs to make money, so 50 cents per catty is not too much.

When the aunt heard that it cost one yuan and fifty cents per pound, her face turned dark.

One yuan and a half can buy several kilograms of grain.

I immediately lost the desire to buy it.

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive. I still don't want it." The aunt covered her mouth and coughed twice before getting ready to leave.

Xue Ning quickly shouted, "Sister, it's reasonable for it to be expensive. The stuff I use is absolutely real. Loquats and walnuts are good things. Eating walnuts can nourish the brain. Not only can adults eat it, but also those with children at home.

What’s more important to eat is loquat, which can produce fluid and relieve cough. There are definitely only benefits and no harm from eating it.

I heard that you are coughing just now. You must have caught a cold due to the seasonal changes! I tell you, you should eat more of my loquat cake, it is good for treating coughs."

When the aunt heard this, her heart moved again.

The problem with her cough is that it is difficult to get rid of it, especially when the seasons change. The cough lasts for a month or two, which can torture people to death.

"Can your loquat cake really cure coughs?"

"I don't need to lie to you. You will know after eating a few more pieces. Loquats are really good. If you missed it this time, you may not be able to buy them if you want to buy them in the future."

The aunt coughed twice more. She was really bothered by the cough.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then give me a pound."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Xue Ning wrapped the loquat cake in oil paper, weighed it to a pound, then tied the cake with hemp rope, and handed it to the aunt, "Sister, your loquat cake is delicious. Come back next time." I like the group favorite of the times, Xiaojiao.
