Chapter 11: Sell moon cakes

Before dawn the next day, the fourth son of the Han family came to Su Yue.
Han Aimin, the fourth oldest of the Han family, was only twelve years old this year. He was only on her shoulders when he stood in front of Su Yue. He was very thin. From Su Yue's perspective, he was just a child.
Su Yue feels guilty of using child labor.
Han Aimin didn't feel that he was being used as a child laborer. On the contrary, he was simply surprised. Yesterday his mother told him that he would run errands for Su Zhiqing to sell things in the town and divide his profit by 20%. He thought he had heard it wrong, and after he was sure that he had heard it wrong, he was so happy that he wanted to jump. stand up.
He doesn’t like going to work the most. It’s not that he’s afraid of being tired. The main reason is that he is young. The brigade only divides the work of mowing grass and picking up cow dung for their children. It’s boring not to mention, and the number of work points is low. The work points are not enough for him to eat, but he can't go if he doesn't go, otherwise the second and third sisters will feel that there are idlers at home and will not be able to live.
In fact, his favorite thing is to help his mother go to town to sell eggs. He finds it very interesting. Even if it takes more than two hours to walk back and forth, he doesn't feel tired. But it took a long time for the family to go to the town to sell things to subsidize the family, which made him very regretful.
Now Su Zhiqing asks him to help sell things, he is 100 willing, let alone make money along with it. He ate the moon cakes given to his eldest brother by Su Zhiqing last night. He had never seen or eaten the moon cakes, but they were so delicious that people wanted to bite off their tongues. If no one bought such moon cakes, it would be a hell.
He is very sure that this moon cake will sell well.
Because of the deliciousness of moon cakes, Han Aimin admired Su Yue very much, scratching his head and boasted to her: "Sister Su Yue, the moon cakes you make are so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious moon cakes."
Su Yue laughed, and took out two mooncakes from the basket of mooncakes and handed them out to him, "Take them to eat. This is breakfast for you. You have not eaten breakfast before you come out in the morning. Don't walk hungry."
Han Aimin shook her head quickly and took out two wowotou from her small shoulder bag to show her, "Sister Su Yue, my mother gave me hot wowotou in the morning. I have breakfast. This moon cake is so delicious. If it’s wasted, keep making money."
Unexpectedly, he was so sensible. Su Yue liked the kid more and more. After thinking about it, he said: "That's OK, you sell it first, if you can't sell it, we will eat it ourselves."
Han Aimin immediately disagreed and said, "Why can't it be sold! Don't worry, Sister Su Yue, I will sell out such delicious mooncakes."
Seeing that he is so confident, Su Yue rubbed his head, "That's it, I will reward you when I sell it out. Sister will make you delicious food."
Han Aimin's eyes brightened, she secretly swallowed, and forced her greed, and asked, "Sister Su Yue, how do we sell these mooncakes? How much is one?"
There is only one kind of moon cake on the market now. The filling is the kind of green and red silk with rock sugar, and some melon seeds and peanuts. No matter what people here think, Su Yue feels that both the visual and the taste are a little hard to say. If you give her She can't eat it.
Mooncakes like this are still a rarity, and they are generally not available for purchase. Not only do they require money but also tickets, they cannot be bought without tickets.
It's not that she is boasting. The mooncakes she makes are definitely more than a street like this, and you can buy them without a ticket, so she wants to be a bit more expensive than the mooncakes here.
So Su Yue asked Han Aimin: "Aim, do you know how to sell ordinary mooncakes?"
This Han Aimin really knows that the prices of the things in the commune are clear.
Nowadays, you can buy four mooncakes with one ticket, but each mooncake needs an extra dime. If you don’t have a ticket, you can sell it privately. For others, five cents will be added."
Well, if you don't need a ticket, a mooncake will cost about 15 cents, which is quite expensive.
So Su Yue decided: "Love the people, then we will order two cents a month for our mooncakes, and no tickets are required. Of course, if people have a ticket, we also want it, whether it is a fuel ticket or food ticket. Huh?"
Han Aimin nodded sharply, "No problem, Sister Su Yue has everything on me. It's not too early now, I have to sell it quickly."
Su Yue saw that he was more anxious than her, so funny, she hurriedly stopped him and gave her the address of the Jiang sister's house where she bought the cake last time, and asked him to go to Jiang's house and sell it first.
Last time Sister Jiang asked her to show her something delicious.
After Han Aimin remembered the address, he ran away while carrying the basket. Su Yue was stunned to see him, feeling that he was far inferior to a child as an adult.
This kid is too good.
Han Aimin didn't come back until the evening. As soon as he came back, he ran to look for Su Yue without even returning home. The whole face was flushed, and his eyes were particularly bright. He was very refreshed to see.
Su Yue estimated it was selling well.
Sure enough, before Su Yue could ask, Han Aimin took the initiative to mutter in excitement: "Sister Su Yue, all moon cakes are sold! Look!"
Speaking of which, I paid out a lot of money, and there were all kinds of tickets, including food stamps, stamps, and many non-staple food tickets.
"Yeah, I made so much." Su Yue saw the money, but she was excited when she saw these tickets. The main reason is that everyone has a limited number of tickets now, so they want to buy some. You can't buy anything, but you can buy it with a ticket. The last time she went to the fair, she ran out of all the votes she had in her hand. Now that there are so many suddenly, can she be unhappy.
Han Aimin: "The first one I went to was the one you gave me the address. I asked their family to try it first. Everyone said it was delicious. I bought it for 8 yuan immediately. I didn’t wait for me to go elsewhere and continue selling. Well, Sister Jiang said she told me not to sell it elsewhere. She said she helped me ask if there was anyone else in the factory who wanted to buy it, and then several shops would buy it after they tasted it. The mooncakes in the basket were just there. It’s short, I haven’t had time to sell it elsewhere."
Han Aimin got more excited as he said, "Sister Su Yue, there are still several companies in the textile factory compound that are late and haven't bought them. They asked me if there are any more, and asked me if I can go to their factory to sell them tomorrow."
"Well, that's great." Su Yue didn't expect the mooncakes to be so popular. Originally thought that the price would be too high to sell.
Su Yue went into the house right now and took out all the mooncakes she had just made today, "Love the people, I made another basket today, and you will sell it there tomorrow. By the way, ask if each household has any relatives. If you want to buy, you can reserve the quantity and deliver them the next day."
Han Aimin took the basket excitedly, as if he had seen countless money waving at him.
Su Yue counted the money and votes in her hand. There were twelve tickets, plus five and three cents. She took out three tickets, counted one more dollar, and handed them to Han Aimin. , This is what you deserve today."
Han Aimin naturally knew how much he had earned today, so he immediately shook his head, took out a ticket and two cents and returned it to Su Yue, saying, "Sister Su Yue, you need oil, flour and sugar to make moon cakes. You have to spend a lot of money. You should give me the money to buy things later. How can you give me so much so that you will lose money."
Su Yue did not go to the cost, and directly gave 20% of the income based on the income, but she did not expect this child to be so upright, if others estimated that she would have accepted it happily.
Su Yue couldn't help but like this kid more, and the character of this kid is really good. Such people are also good partners.
Su Yue was not polite, accepting the tickets and money he returned, and instead took out a bag of food wrapped in oil paper and gave him food, "Then you take this. Sister Su Yue made this today and rewarded you. Don’t refuse this."
Even though it was wrapped in greased paper, the scent came out continuously. Han Aimin sucked his nose, and the saliva was going down. He smiled, took the greased paper and said, "Sister Su Yue, then I'm not polite to you. Thank you sister."
"Okay, don't thank you, go home, there are Hanamaki in the oil paper bag, and eat it after warming it up."
"Hey, I see." Han Aimin ran away carrying the basket with joy.
When Han Aimin arrived home, he was eating at home. His mother saw him come back and said hurriedly: "Why did you come back? Sit down and eat quickly."
Before Han Aimin sat down, the third daughter-in-law Han hurriedly asked, "How are you, fourth, how are you selling today? How much did you make? Did Su Zhiqing give you any money?"
The old lady Han's face became stern, and she scolded: "What's up with you! What are you doing so actively? This work is hard work by the fourth child, and the money is earned by the fourth child. If you ask this, it's impossible. want?"
The third daughter-in-law of Han mumbled: "We are all a family. Whoever earns money must be handed over to the mother. Isn't the fourth child's income earned by the family?"
The old lady Han was too lazy to take care of her, and let Han Aimin eat quickly. The child ran away for a day and definitely did not eat at noon. Now she must be starving.
Han Aimin was indeed starving, but he didn’t rush to eat. Instead, he took out the oil-paper bag that Su Yue had just given and handed it to the old lady Han,
Mother, this is the food that Sister Su Yue just gave me, saying it’s a reward for me. You warm it up to everyone, let’s eat together."
As soon as this was said, the eyes of the people at the table were all staring at the oil paper bag, especially the children, their eyes lighted up.
"This Xiao Su is polite, and I will give it back to you." The old lady Han cheerfully opened the oil paper bag, revealing three white roll-shaped buns inside, with circles of red fillings on top, like a flower. Flowery, beautiful and tight.
Han Aimin explained: "Mother, Sister Su Yue said this is called Dousha Huajuan."
The second daughter-in-law of Han smiled and praised: "Mother, this flower scroll is really beautiful, like a flower, Su Zhiqing's hands are really clever."
The old lady Han glanced at Han Aiguo, who was silent and said with a deep smile: "No, this Xiao Su Na is really a wonderful person. I have never seen such a capable girl, and I don’t know who can do it in the future. I am blessed to marry such a good girl."
The third daughter-in-law of Han, regardless of whether she marries or marries or marries, can’t wait to say: "Mother, hurry up and warm it up, give us a taste, it’s so fragrant."
Old lady Han gave her a white look, "You know how to eat, and you don't see you being so active at work."
The third wife of Han didn't care about being said, she was still smiling, as long as she had something to eat.
The old lady Han went to the kitchen to heat up the hanami, and then divided it into several portions, and each family member had to taste one portion.
"Mother, this flower roll is so sweet, it tastes better than the big white steamed buns!" The third wife of Han ate her and wanted to bite her tongue.
Even the second and third brothers of Han, who had never spoken much, were contented and praised.
Needless to say, the children gnawed so much that they couldn't even talk about it. The look of gobbled it up, it was as if they had never eaten in eight lifetimes.
The old lady Han looked at Han Aiguo and asked with a smile: "Patriotic, what do you think it tastes like?"
