Sister Lan tasted a piece of fruit filling, and her charming eyes suddenly lit up.

"This stuffing tastes really fresh when you eat it."

"This is a fruit filling. There are also bean paste, black sesame, and egg yolk and lotus paste fillings. Sister Lan can eat a piece to pass the time in her free time."

Sister Lan finished the mooncake in her hand and took a sip of tea.

"Our Xiangchunlou Moon Festival will hold a three-day Oiran Competition in a row during the Moon Festival. Many well-known people will come to visit. I was worried that I didn't have any suitable pastries to sell. You just gave me a pillow when I fell asleep. Let's come Let’s talk about price.”

Yan Shu gave Sister Lan mooncakes just to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he would actually get it.

She smiled and said: "If Sister Lan wants it, I'll charge you [-] yuan per pack of mooncakes. I'm going to discuss cooperation with Guiyunzhai later. The price over there is [-] yuan per pack. Sister Lan has to keep the price here a secret for me."

Sister Lan was very happy when she heard that Yan Shu had given her such a big discount.

During the three-day oiran competition, she can also make a fortune from these mooncakes.

"Don't worry, sister, I will keep my mouth shut."

After discussing the cooperation, Yan Shu stood up and left.

The next stop was straight to Guiyunzhai.

Guiyunzhai Pastry is a century-old brand with shops throughout Nanwei Prefecture.

Yan Shu walked into the shop and was greeted by the waiter at the counter with a smile.

"What pastries do you want to buy, girl?"

"Little brother, what are the fillings of the mooncakes you sell?"

"Mooncakes only have five-nut filling."

Yan Shu asked: "Have you never made mooncakes with other fillings?"

"Our family is a century-old brand. During the Moon Festival every year, we only have mooncakes filled with five kernels. We have never heard of mooncakes filled with other fillings. Has your daughter ever eaten them?"

After hearing this, Yan Shu became more confident.

"I made some mooncakes with other flavors, and I want the shopkeeper to try them."

"Oh?" The waiter was a little surprised.

Yan Shu opened the floral cloth on the bamboo basket, took out a moon cake and handed it to the waiter.

"Second brother, you can try a piece first."

"You're welcome, little one." The waiter took a bite. This mooncake was filled with fruit fillings.

Ancient people tended to like sweets. When she asked Yan Wu, Yan Huai, and Sister Lan to try them, they all seemed to prefer fruit fillings.

The waiter looked very excited after tasting the mooncakes.

"How many flavors are there, girl?"

"There are five kinds of five-nut fillings in total. The five-nut fillings I make should be different from yours."

She added a lot of dried fruits to the five-nut filling, and the taste was very different from the ancient ones.

"Girl, please take a seat. I'm going to invite my shopkeeper upstairs."

After a while, the shopkeeper of Guiyunzhai walked down.

"I heard that the girl made several mooncakes by herself?"

"Try it."

Yan Shu placed the paper bag on the table next to him. After the shopkeeper washed his hands, he cut a piece of each flavor and tasted it carefully.

"This is the first time I've seen mooncakes with salted egg yolk and fruit puree. This girl's idea of ​​making mooncakes is so novel."

Yan Shu smiled and asked, "What does the shopkeeper think of the taste?"

"The dough of the mooncakes made by the girl is golden and soft, and a lot of eggs must be added to it. The texture is certainly much better than ordinary mooncakes."

Just talking about red bean puree and that fruit puree, without a detailed recipe, it would be difficult for other pastry chefs to prepare a similar taste.

The shopkeeper already had his own plans in mind.

"Since the girl has chosen to come to our Guiyunzhai, she must be interested in cooperating with us. I wonder what the girl's plans are?"

"I provide the mooncakes and Guiyunzhai is responsible for selling them. We will split the final profit [-]/[-]. What does the shopkeeper think?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you think this pack of mooncakes should be priced at?"

"It can't be less than [-] coins a bag."

Eight hundred articles?

The shopkeeper frowned slightly: "This price is really not cheap. In the past, a pack of ordinary mooncakes only cost more than 100 yuan."

Yan Shu understood what the shopkeeper was worried about.

"Shopkeeper, you must have many wealthy customers."

The shopkeeper nodded: "Most of the customers who can eat pastries regularly come from relatively well-off families, and there are quite a few who are rich and powerful."

Yan Shu curled his lips and smiled: "We can make a trial platter and deliver it to their house in person, and then see how the effect is in two days. If the response is average, you can refuse to cooperate with me, and you don't have to take any risks. .”

The shopkeeper said: "Then give it a try."

The two finalized the pricing and sales targets, and the shopkeeper ordered the people in the store to start preparing the packaging of the snacks for tasting.

Since you want to sell to rich people, you can’t be vague about the packaging.

A piece of mooncake is cut into five flat pieces, and a small piece of each flavor is put in a very exquisite round wooden box. The five pieces of mooncake are put together into the shape of a flower. The exquisite presentation instantly raises the level.

The five packs of mooncakes brought by Yan Shu were repackaged, and finally more than twenty tasting gift boxes were made.

The shopkeeper selected 25 wealthy customers and ordered two waiters to personally deliver the snacks to the house.

After Yan Shu reached an agreement with the manager of Guiyunzhai, he rushed home near noon.

Yan Wu and Yan Huai arrived early in the morning, and the donkey shed was almost ready.

After Yan Shu returned home, the two of them also finished the last bit of work in their hands.

The three of them sat down and drank a cup of tea.

Yan Shu explained the situation in the town in detail.

"Second brother, starting from tomorrow, you will come to my house every day and bring [-] packs of mooncakes to Xiangchunlou. Each pack of mooncakes is priced at [-] yuan. I will accompany you there first thing tomorrow morning."

Yan Wu and Yan Huai were both surprised when they heard the price.

A pack of mooncakes only cost [-] yuan, but they can be sold for [-] yuan?

"Little sister, is six hundred coins too expensive?" Yan Huai expressed his worries.

Although the mooncakes made by my little sister are indeed delicious and the only ones in Furong Town, if a pack of mooncakes sells for [-] yuan, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Yan Shu smiled and said: "This is just a friendly price for Xiangchunlou. The price negotiated with Guiyunzhai is [-] yuan per package."

Yan Huai:......

Yan Wu:? ?

"There will be news from Guiyunzhai the day after tomorrow at the latest. Let's wait for a while. If it doesn't work here, I want to go to Chiyang County and try again."

After being shocked, the two brothers nodded in agreement. Their little sister was very business-savvy, and they just needed to follow her arrangements.

-

The results at Guiyunzhai were faster than Yan Shu expected.

Early the next morning, the guys from Guiyunzhai came over.

He said that after giving away the trial snacks to the 25 customers yesterday, [-] customers sent people to buy mooncakes early this morning. At least one package of each item was required, and two companies directly purchased each one. I ordered five packs of each flavor, saying they were for relatives and friends.

The waiter's face was filled with joy.

"Miss Yan, here is the guest's reservation list, please take a look."

Yan Shu took the order and took a look.

"I have made two hundred packs of mooncakes in advance. Apart from the ones reserved for customers, I will put the rest in the store and try to sell them."

"What a coincidence, my shopkeeper means the same thing."

Yan Shu and the second brother moved the moon cakes prepared in advance to the carriage. The second brother said goodbye and drove the carriage back to Furong Town.

Soon after, two brothers, Yan Wu and Yan Huai, rushed over and put the remaining fifty packs of moon cakes on the donkey cart. Yan Shu followed them to the town.
