Chapter 92 Giving Cake

Jin Biao originally thought that the "owner" mentioned by Zhou Dazhuang should be a middle-aged man, but he did not expect that he turned out to be a petite little girl. The psychological gap was quite big.

Yang Mu arranged Jin Biao's work mainly to make butter, whip cream and light the fire. This job is simple and can be done with great strength. It does not require contact with outsiders. Jin Biao's upright temperament will not offend customers.

When Jin Biao heard that the job was so simple, his eyes were full of doubts. Is that all? You can get two taels of silver and ten pounds of flour every month?

Are these people traffickers? They have taken a fancy to his body and want to sell him to a black coal mine!

Jin Biao's eyes flickered with doubts. When Sister-in-law Zhu asked him if he would live in the shop after work, he decisively refused!

Yang Mu guessed Jin Biao's worries, but she didn't explain anything and just taught him how to beat butter.

By the time Jin Biao got off work, the store's first batch of cakes had already been baked.

The oven this time is larger and can bake a lot of cakes at once, so there won't be a shortage of cakes.

Because he needed to adjust the heat, Yang Mu directly filled the oven with cakes. The two ovens baked more than 500 cakes.

After the cake came out of the oven, Yang Mu and Sister-in-law Zhu started decorating it again.

When the decorating work was completed, Jin Biao pointed to one of the cakes with a panda pattern and said, "I've seen this thing before!"

Seeing the probing glances from everyone, Jin Biao hurriedly said: "When I was working at the dock, I saw many people eating or taking this on the boat. However, I haven't seen it these days."

Zhou Dazhuang said with a smile: "That's the cake sold by Mu Meizi!"

Sister-in-law Zhu distributed the cake to Carpenter Li and his apprentices, and explained to Jin Biao with a smile: "Mei Mu was not around during this period, so I didn't do it."

With this familiar cake, Jin Biao finally didn't doubt that Yang Mu and others were a gang of human traffickers.

In the evening, after work, Yang Mu gave him a hundred pieces of cake and asked him to go back and taste it for his family and neighbors.

The remaining cakes, except for taking them home to Yang Shitou, Lin Xiao, Lu Shan, and Muchen, were all distributed to the surrounding neighbors without exception.

The shop is located on South Street. The shop will open soon, so the shops on the street will naturally have to share some of the cake.

Yang Mu only walked a few steps and arrived at the place where the stall was originally set up.

When the aunt selling wontons saw Yang Mu, she immediately came over and asked in a low voice: "Daughter, is Boss Lu giving you trouble?"

Yang Mu smiled and said: "No!"

However, the aunt's words gave Yang Mu an idea. During this time, she had been worrying about what to name the store. When she mentioned Shopkeeper Lu, she suddenly thought of a particularly suitable name.

She handed over two pieces of cake and said with a smile: "For Auntie and Jiaojiao!"

Aunt Wonton’s lovely granddaughter is named Jiaojiao.

The aunt grabbed Yang Mu and said, "Daughter, don't lie to me. If shopkeeper Lu hadn't come to trouble you, why didn't you come to set up the stall for so long?"

She looked around furtively and said in a low voice: "Daughter, listen to my old aunt's advice. If it doesn't work, just report to the official! Our Hang County magistrate is a good official, and he might be willing to make the decision for you.

of!"

Yang Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm really fine. I bought a shop and I'm renovating it these days. When the decoration is completed, Auntie comes with Jiaojiao, and I'll give you a discount!"

The aunt stretched her neck and looked for a long time before she saw a shop that was being renovated and had no door. She asked in disbelief: "Is that your shop?"

She couldn't believe that the little girl who was running a street stall alongside her a few days ago suddenly turned into a big shop owner.

And she knew that the store was very big, and it must have cost a lot to rent it, but this little girl actually said she bought it!

You know, most of the shops on this street are owned by the Jin family, which are very expensive! The smallest shop costs five hundred taels of silver, and the shop Yang Mu bought also has a yard, which costs at least one thousand taels.

Two!

Yang Mu did not explain much to Aunt Wonton, and turned around to continue delivering cakes to the neighbors.

The owners of some shops had visited Yang Mu's stall and knew Yang Mu. When they heard that they were going to open a shop, they all expressed their happiness. This means that it will be much easier to eat cakes in the future.

After Yang Mu finished dividing the cakes, on the way back to the shop, it started to drizzle.

The shopkeeper of the tea house sighed, "The rainy season is coming!"

Yang Mu was glad that she bought the shop before the rainy season, otherwise, she would not be able to set up her stall for a month or two.

It's different now. Carpenter Li said that the shop doesn't need much furniture and it only takes a few days to make it. She can open her business soon.

Today I sent a cake to my neighbor, firstly for the sake of neighborly relations, and secondly to find potential customers.

Even if these neighbors don't come to buy cakes, if someone asks about the cake shop, they will be happy to give directions to customers.

Each cake sells for 30 cents, and the cost of labor and ingredients is about 15 cents. Calculating this, if she can sell 500 cakes every day, she can make a net profit of 7 taels and 5 cents.

Moreover, the more you sell, the lower your labor costs are, and the more you earn.

Yang Mu returned to the shop, took an umbrella, and returned to Peach Blossom Lane.

In the yard, Lin Xiao and Lu Shan had just collected the clothes and bedding on the clothes drying rack in the yard and were drying them in the large hall.

Baiyun County has a rainy season that lasts for two months every year. People will prepare a spacious place at home to dry clothes when the rainy season comes.

Seeing Yang Mu coming back, Lu Shan's eyes shone brightly.

"Mrs. Crown Prince, have you brought back the cake?"

This is his first time eating cake. How should I say? He will never forget it!

Yang Mu heard the words "Mrs. Crown Prince" and said with a smile, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

This Lushan is so cute!

When Lu Shan heard that there was no cake to eat today, he immediately wilted, pouted and went to hang his clothes.

Lin Xiao walked out of the main room, got into Yang Mu's umbrella, and said, "I have something for you."

The two of them walked side by side to the backyard.

Carpenter Li built a pergola outside the east wing of the backyard and placed stone tables and chairs for resting and cooling during the rainy season and summer.

There are two nests under the pergola, one is made of bamboo and is made of balls; the other is made of rattan and is made of black teeth.

A dead tree trunk was planted next to the two nests to make it easier for Qiuqiu to climb the tree and play.

Yang Mu and Yang Mu came over and sat next to the stone table.

There was a tea set on the table, and the tea in the cup was still steaming. It was obvious that Lin Xiao was sitting here drinking tea just now. When he saw it was raining, he ran to the front yard to collect clothes.

Lin Xiao straightened his back and sat next to Yang Mu, pouring her a cup of tea.

While Yang Mu was drinking tea, he watched Lin Xiao take out two banknotes from his sleeve and hand them to her, saying: "For household use."

"Um?"

Yang Mu hurriedly put down the teacup and picked up the two banknotes at lightning speed.

Two thousand taels each, four thousand taels in total!
Chapter completed!
