At the end of Yin Shi, the lights were turned on in the west wing. Except for Xiao Wu, who had not fully recovered, the rest of the people got up. After washing up for a while, the whole family went to the kitchen to get busy.
The old man was in a light sleep, and Mr. Tian had also woken up early. He was just leaning on the quilt and smoking a cigarette. Hearing the sound, he opened the window and looked out, only to see the third son and his family busy in the kitchen with a lamp.
He muttered something, and Jiang said: "What are you muttering about? When you get up, go for a walk outside."
"Lao San and his family have a big idea. There are a lot of things they are messing with these days."
"You don't care what he does, it won't affect your food and clothing, and they don't want you to interfere and worry about it. It doesn't matter what he does." Jiang turned over and snorted.
Mr. Tian didn't say anything. After smoking his cigarette, he put on his clothes and got down from the kang. He took a look at the kitchen. He saw that the kitchen was busy but cheerful, talking and laughing. Under the dim light, everyone's faces were very affectionate. and.
Mr. Tian looked at this friendly and warm scene with a complicated look in his eyes, ranging from relief to unknown loneliness.
However, Tian Minyan's family had a tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation. They made dough, beat egg whites, lit fires and added firewood, and they cooperated in an orderly manner. They didn't finish the work until dawn.
Looking at the cakes cut into triangles and the soy milk in wooden barrels, Tian Minyan was very happy and said happily: "Mom, you and Xiao Wu are at home, while I go to town with my father and brother."
"Why."
After tidying up, Tian Huairen carried the soy milk bucket, a small table of Eight Immortals and other scattered items on a bamboo basket, and walked to the town with brother and sister Tian Minyan.
It was another fair day, and it was already bright when we arrived in town. There were already many people walking on the streets, and the vendors on North Street had already put up their posture and started shouting.
Tian Minyan did not set up a stall rashly, but placed it at the intersection of East and West Streets.
There was a reason for choosing this place. After she carefully calculated the cost, she decided that the prices for cakes and soy milk were quite high. Since the soy milk was made from her own beans, she set a relatively low price, three cents a bowl. The cake was troublesome to make, and it was difficult to use. She also had to buy fine white flour, sugar flowers and eggs, so she set the price at fifteen cents a piece.
The soy milk was okay, but the price of the cake was not affordable to the small farmers walking on North Street, so she set her sights on East and West Street, because the people walking here had a little money.
"Nanny, is the price of fifteen cents too high?" Tian Minrui was still a little unsure: "Is it possible that no one will buy it?"
"It's not high." Tian Minyan smiled at him and said, "I think it's too little."
Just because something is expensive doesn't necessarily mean that no one will buy it, especially those with high status. If you price such a new item at a low price, people may think it is too cheap and lacks quality.
If you think about it, everyone is willing to buy a cheap product, so it loses a layer of mystery. But if it is expensive, you will wonder why this thing can be priced so high, and what is it about that is worth the price.
The so-called sense of mystery comes from this, because everyone is curious and wants to uncover the mystery of the object you are paying attention to.
The small Eight Immortals table was quickly opened. Tian Minyan took out the large white aluminum tray she brought from home and placed it on the table. She sandwiched the neatly stacked triangular cakes one by one on the tray and placed them neatly. She also put the soy milk barrel on the table. On the table, large bowls were lined up, and they were poured into the bowls one after another with spoons.
Tian Huairen was an honest and sullen person, and Tian Minyan didn't expect him to be able to hawk. She asked him to collect the money, and only asked Tian Minrui to stand by the table.
"Brother, shout."
"What, what's that?" Tian Minrui was very nervous, rubbing his hands, his face turned red.
Tian Minyan clicked her tongue, coughed, cleared her throat, and called out in a crisp voice: "Come here, here is delicious and nutritious soy milk. It costs three cents for a big bowl. Adults will be healthy and long after drinking it, women will be beautiful after drinking it, and children will drink it."
You will become smarter after drinking it. Come on, it only costs three pennies a bowl."
"Cake, cake, this is the only one in the world. It is exclusively produced and delicious. No matter if you want to eat it or not, you can't buy it outside. I only have it at my house."
Tian Minrui saw it, scratched his head, coughed, and screamed like Tian Minyan, but his voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"Brother, you have to open your throat. Are you imitating the sound of a mosquito?" Tian Minyan shook her head and asked him to put his hands to his mouth and scream like a trumpet.
Tian Minrui was embarrassed by her words and aroused by her. He raised his trumpet and shouted loudly: "Soy milk cake, delicious soy milk cake, freshly baked, come and see it."
Tian Minyan then laughed and shouted again: "Don't miss it when you pass by. Oh, girl, come and try my snacks and soy milk. I will praise you for eating and you will be ten years younger."
In fact, the person standing in front of the stall was a woman in her thirties, who was dressed better than ordinary farmers. When she heard Tian Minyan's words, she laughed wildly and said angrily: "What's the look in your eyes, little girl? I don't know."
She has three children and she is still a girl."
"Ouch? Are you kidding me? From the look of you, you are obviously a girl. If you don't believe me, ask my brother." Tian Minyan shouted exaggeratedly and winked at Tian Minrui.
"Yes, she is a girl, not a wife, right?" Tian Minrui was very cooperative.
"Yes, you two are sweet-mouthed." The woman smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. She glanced at the cake on the table and asked, "What kind of new thing is this? Why haven't you seen it before?"
"Madam, this is soy milk. It only costs three cents a bowl. It is good for beauty and beauty. It is the best for women to drink. Please try it." Tian Minyan quickly handed a bowl of soy milk to her hand: "My family just opened Xiao Zhang today.
Well, you are the first customer, I only charge you two cents, but don’t say anything."
"Oh, this is so cute!" The woman immediately beamed, took it and took a sip. The bean aroma was very strong, sweet, and very delicious. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "Oh, this soy milk is quite delicious.
"
"No, I'm not lying. Madam, there is also cake here. It's a good idea to drink it together." Tian Minyan came closer to her again and whispered: "Fifteen cents each, it's not enough for you, fourteen cents."
Wen, you must keep it a secret."
"Yes, yes." The woman obviously had a small family, so she took it without thinking, took another bite, was stunned, and then tasted again.
"How are you, ma'am? Does it taste good?" Tian Minyan is accustomed to observing people's opinions and asked immediately when she saw this.
"Excellent, how are these made? Why are they so fragrant and soft? This is even better than the dim sum at Lianxianglou. Girl, what do you think it is called?" The woman ate a few mouthfuls of soy milk, and she just felt like
It melts in your mouth and is easier to melt than ordinary snacks.
"Golden cake." Tian Minyan said with a smile: "After eating my golden cake, it will be golden when you come home."
"Is it really that good? Give me a taste." Someone nearby had already seen it and shouted when he saw this.
"Give me one too."
"Here's a bowl of soy milk."
"Okay." Tian Minyan couldn't help but be happy. After all, she opened a small ticket. She quickly called Tian Huairen to collect the money, and she personally picked up the cake wrapped in oil paper and handed it over.
