143 Seven Wen for Two Bowls

It was the first time Aunt Sun and the others saw the cold glutinous cake. They complimented Lin Xiaoyue as soon as they saw it.

After they ate it, they couldn’t stop saying how good it was.

“Yue’er, I think this can make money. It’s definitely possible!”

“That’s right, the taste is really not bad! You can easily sell it for five wen a bowl in town!” Aunt Jiang added.

“Delicious!” Jiang Xiaohua said.

Looking at the cold cake in the bowl, she couldn’t bear to take a big bite, lest she finished it too quickly.

“Hehe, it’s good that you like it. There’s more in the kitchen, you can have another bowl after you’re done!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Aunt Sun’s eyes lit up, but she quickly hid it.

“It’s good enough that you gave each of us a bowl. This is what you’re going to sell for money, you can’t fill our mouths with it.”

Aunt Jiang also nodded.

“That’s right. The refined rice and brown sugar aren’t cheap, and you’ve spent quite a bit on this.”

Jiang Xiaohua wanted more, but she didn’t say anything.

“You are too polite, it’s not that much money,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile, her eyes looking at Liu Shi.

After that, she confirmed that her mother didn’t tell them about the cost of the cold cakes.

That’s good. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

As for Aunt Wang, their families were closer.

In addition, she also planned to start the cold cake business with Aunt Wang and Erya.

“Alright! If there’s more in the kitchen, can you give me four bowls? I’ll bring it back for my family to try. Uncle Sun was still thinking about your cold cake from yesterday!” Aunt Sun said as she reached into her pocket for money.

“Forget about the money,” Lin Xiaoyue quickly pushed Aunt Sun’s hand away.

“Why not? It’s the same as you selling it in town tomorrow. Take the 16 wen!” With that, Aunt Sun forcefully stuffed the coins into Lin Xiaoyue’s hands.

“Just take it. I’ll just get more cold cakes for Aunt Sun!” Liu Shi said with a smile.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue accept it.

However, after taking the money, she stuffed another 2 wen back into Aunt Sun’s hands.

“Then I’ll be thick-skinned and take the money, but I can’t sell them at the same price to you. If you want to buy them, I’ll just charge you 7 wen for two bowls!”

Aunt Sun couldn’t stop smiling, “you’re such an honest girl!”

“Sure, then I’ll come to your house to buy it if I want to have more in the future!” Aunt Sun said.

After thinking for a while, she actually took out another 5 wen and stuffed them back into Lin Xiaoyue’s hands, along with the 2 wen that Lin Xiaoyue had returned to her.

“Then just make it six bowls! One won’t be enough for my grandson!” Besides, she could also have another bowl.

It was made of polished rice, and a bowl of it cost less than 4 wen, which was not expensive at all.

Lin Xiaoyue looked awkward as she looked at Liu Shi.

“Keep it. In the future, if anyone from our village comes to buy the cold cakes, they will all be sold at this price,” Liu Shi said.

This reminded her of something. Perhaps she could ask her daughter to make more cold cakes. The villagers were currently busy with the autumn harvest, so there might be many people willing to buy them.

Lin Xiaoyue had calculated the cost, which was less than 1 wen per bowl. Selling two bowls for 7 wen could yield a high profit.

“Thank you Aunt Sun,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen, Aunt Jiang suddenly spoke up.

“I’ll have four bowls too! My husband also missed this. Besides, I want to let Lamei and Juhua have a taste too!”
