Chapter 282 Mulberry
The entrance of the dessert shop was packed with people, and the fruit tasting plates had already been eaten up.
There are quite a lot of people buying it, but most of them only buy half a pound to try it out, and only wealthy people buy the most.
When their servants came to pick up the desserts they had ordered yesterday, they found that many new items had been served today, so they ordered some as well and took them back home together.
As a result, not long after, he came back and took away some new products, and also made a reservation for tomorrow's goods. He bought ten kilograms of strawberries and took them back.
With the support of these wealthy families, each basket weighs about five pounds, and more than twenty baskets were sold out in a short while.
At this time, Lin Fen also came back after delivering the goods. After parking the carriage, he walked to Lin Jiaojiao to help and spoke.
"Boss, Boss Liu brought you two baskets of mulberries. She said they were grown in her mulberry garden. If you like them, you can go to her garden and pick some."
Lin Jiaojiao was weighing strawberries for a customer. When she heard her say this, she immediately looked up. She had actually forgotten about this!
When the two of them were discussing the store before, Liu Ying mentioned that her family had a mulberry orchard and raised many silkworms.
At that time, she thought that when the mulberry trees bore fruit, the fruit could be used to make desserts and jams.
Later on, she forgot about it, and now her mulberries and her strawberries have collided with each other.
Would it be too much to add a mulberry flavor? Besides, mulberries are much cheaper than strawberries, and the price of a dessert made of mulberries is impossible to be the same as that of strawberries.
Forget it, I’d better not make the mulberry flavor.
She handed the weighed strawberries to the customer and asked him to go in to pay. Then she handed the stall to Lin Fen and went to the carriage and took out a basket of mulberries from the carriage.
This purple-red one looks pretty good.
She came to the backyard carrying a basket. Tao Qi was washing clothes, and Liu Yunxi was sitting on a small stool next to her, eating a strawberry in her hand. When she saw her come in, she immediately ran over.
"Aunt Jiaojiao, Aunt Jiaojiao."
She leaned over and touched his little head, "Are Yunxi strawberries delicious?"
Liu Yunxi immediately picked up a half-eaten strawberry and handed it to her, wanting her to eat it.
"It's delicious, auntie, please eat it."
She smiled and shook her head: "Thank you Yunxi, Auntie has already eaten Yunxi, Auntie will wash some more mulberries for you."
After saying that, she went to the cupboard and took out two large bowls. She reached out and gently grabbed some mulberries from the basket and put them into the bowls. She did this until both bowls were full. There was still half of the fruit left in the basket, and her hands were stained purple.
This would definitely look great as a lavender buttercream!
How to do?
I'm moved again.
Forget it, I’ll just take it home and let Yizhi try to make a mulberry cake.
Tao Qi finished washing the last piece of clothing, stood up and walked over. When he saw that it was Mulberry, he gave some instructions.
"Pregnant women should eat less of this fruit. Do not eat it in large quantities. It is not good for the fetus."
"Okay, I got it. Thanks for the reminder."
Lin Jiaojiao declined Tao Qi's offer to help wash the mulberries. She soaked the fruits in water herself and then washed her hands with soap.
This was something she bought from Furong Pavilion. The cheapest one cost her five hundred coins. She usually uses it to wash her hands when she comes here. She let Liu Wen and the others use it, but the size of the soap seems to be the same as last time.
Thinking back to the last time Furong Pavilion had new products, in order to support Fu's mother's business, she took her three husbands and Jiang Huai to buy some. However, they felt that the products were not as good as those in the system mall, so they symbolically picked a few, and Jiang Huai only took a white orchid ointment.
Everyone had one, but Lan Jiu was standing behind her and had nothing, so she picked out a jasmine ointment for Lan Jiu as well, mainly because she liked the smell very much. Lan Jiu usually followed her, so she could also smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Then he brought some perfumed soap and soap for everyone in the family, spending a total of more than a hundred taels of silver.
How many desserts and bowls of spicy hot pot does she have to sell to make the profit back?
This business is totally lucrative!
Of course, there were also great dangers. Some people wanted to steal the secret recipe and sell it to slaves. Even Fu Ling, who was far away in Zhouzhou, was kidnapped by criminals and forced to hand over the secret recipe. Fortunately, she escaped safely and made friends with a female hero on the way.
Even her Zhiwei Restaurant had been attacked several times by thieves who tried to steal the secret seasoning, but they were all dealt with by the people left behind by Qi Yao.
As for Qi Yao not having written to her for such a long time, she wanted to write to him but was afraid of delaying his great cause.
She seriously suspected that this man was playing hard to get, otherwise why would she miss him more and more.
This person is really annoying.
Lin Fen was watching outside, so she didn't want to go out. She saw Liu Yunxi, who had been following her, sucking the strawberry in his hand and staring at her with his big eyes.
She squatted down and picked the person up. Her baby and daughter would be born in two months, so she took this opportunity to practice her hands.
"Yunxi Yunxi, auntie will feed you purple fruit later, okay?"
Liu Yunxi clapped her hands happily when she heard that there was food to eat: "Okay, let's eat some fruit."
On the other side, Tao Qi was hanging clothes to dry, looking at them with a smile. Thinking that Doctor Lang was about to give birth, and heard that it was twins, he and Liu Wen could not afford any expensive gifts, so he went to the cloth shop and gritted his teeth and bought a piece of medium-to-high-quality brocade cloth, which he used to sew two sets of clothes and two pairs of small shoes, waiting to give them as gifts when the time comes.
Seeing that the mulberries were almost soaked, Lin Jiaojiao put Liu Yunxi down, took the bowl and washed the fruits twice. After calling Tao Qi to eat, she picked up her bowl and sat on the chair. She then picked up Liu Yunxi, who had been following her, with one hand and sat her on her lap.
She first picked out the largest and purplest one and held it to his mouth.
"Ah~"
Liu Yunxi opened her mouth and ate the fruit in her hand, but did not forget to say thank you.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's so sweet. Auntie will eat it too."
She smiled and took one and put it in her mouth. The mulberry juice exploded in her mouth instantly. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be so sweet.
She immediately fed Liu Yunxi another one and ate several herself. In this way, the two of them, one big and one small, ate the mulberries in the bowl in bites. After a while, all the mulberries in the bowl were finished and Liu Yunxi even burped.
Lin Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the little guy sitting on her lap. His mouth was dyed purple all around. This cute look made her laugh out loud.
"Yunxi, your mouth has changed color. Come and see if your aunt's tongue has changed color?"
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue which had turned purple. Seeing this, Liu Yunxi also stuck out her own tongue.
"Auntie, take a look."
"Hahaha, Yunxi's tongue has turned purple too."
The morning passed quickly. Today I brought nearly 200 kilograms of strawberries, and only some crushed ones were left.
Lin Jiaojiao thought that it was only about two or three pounds and was not too heavy, so she asked Tao Qi to wash it.
She asked Lin Fen and the others to eat some fruit, while she sat in front of the cash register and watched the revenue of today's new products.
"These two hundred kilograms of strawberries sold for twelve taels of silver, thirty-five small cakes sold, and all the sandwiches were sold out. It turns out that the pink ones sell well."
Liu Wen was holding Liu Yunxi and feeding her strawberries. When she heard her say that, she immediately responded with a smile.
"The servant of the Wen family came twice and bought a total of 15 strawberry cream sandwich breads. The Wen family is a wealthy family with many young ladies and young masters. I heard from the servant that her husbands really like this one. The money in the card is almost gone, so she came to top up another 100 taels of silver."
Lin Jiaojiao almost shook her head as she listened: "Tsk tsk, there are so many rich people here. The Snow Meringue is sold out, there are ten thousand-layer slices left, and there are twenty-seven candied haws left."
"It's okay, boss. After the young ladies and young masters finish school this afternoon, they will definitely come to buy it."
"Okay, so the new products sold for about twenty-three taels of silver this morning, not bad. It looks like the farm's income will more than double this month."
Seeing that it was almost time, the aroma of food from the backyard wafted to her nose. She closed the account book and called Lin Fen who was eating strawberries and mulberries.
"Lin Fen left to eat spicy hot pot."
