Chapter 91 Mid-Autumn Mooncakes

Time flies so fast, and it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

I feel that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is no different from previous years. The atmosphere is no longer what it was when I was a child. As for changes, it is that Aunt Wenying's scone workshop has opened.

Aunt Wenying is a woman who does what she says. She saw people in the county making scones for sale, and the business was very good. With her ability to speak well, she impressed the owner of the scone shop. He not only taught him the recipe of scones,

I gave it to her, and also gave her the contact number of the flour manufacturer. The most important thing was to help her contact and buy an electric oven.

Everything looks easy but is difficult to do. Aunt Wenying scraped together the money from selling pigs and grain to buy ovens, mixers, dough presses, baking pans, various molds, and knives.

, small appliances and other raw and auxiliary materials, almost 5,000 yuan was invested.

Aunt Wenying ambitiously planned to bake biscuits first, then bake cakes, and then make birthday cakes after her skills were perfected. This would be the most profitable. But there was always a gap between imagination and reality, and sometimes the gap was really unbearable.

Aunt Wenying's family workshop has very simple conditions. She built a small side room behind her house and installed an electric oven. Then she built a frame with bricks and cement. Then she polished the removed door panels smooth with emery cloth and put them in place.

On the frame, the "workbench" is set up. The basic work is ready. Put the flour, sugar, yeast, etc. according to the recipe proportions, pour into the mixer, add an appropriate amount of water, mix evenly, and then pour it out

Put it in a large basin to ferment. After fermentation, pour it out and add appropriate dry flour and knead evenly, then cut it into appropriate size with a knife, put it into a dough press and press it into a dough of even thickness. When the dough is ready,

Then take the mold and cut it into a uniform shape. Then apply a little clear oil on the baking pan, then pick up the shaped dough into the baking pan and arrange it evenly. Then put it in the oven and bake it. When the set time is up,

Theoretically the cookies are ready.

Why is it said to be "theoretically"? Because the big reason is that the electricity in rural areas is very unstable. The power department will not notify you when there will be a power outage. There is a possibility of a power outage at any time. Another reason is that the power lines of that house have appeared.

A short circuit fault or a fault in your own home's electrical wiring can also cause a power outage. Therefore, baking cookies in the oven is a job that relies on "luck".

Although Aunt Wenying has figured out some "power outage rules", she still encounters the situation of "waste" caused by power outages. This has largely prevented her "big pancake business" from expanding.

In this way, Aunt Wenying and Uncle Baobao made pancakes at night, and Uncle Baobao went from village to house during the day to sell their pancakes. This became their profession and brought them a relatively stable income.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and Aunt Wenying has developed two new mooncakes. One is the "Xisha" mooncake, and the other is the "Four-Ren Mooncake." Since the two mooncakes developed by Aunt Wenying are both traditional mooncakes, they look like

Compared with mooncakes from other manufacturers and workshops, they are not very competitive. But Aunt Wenying is a smart person. She actually invited many women in the village to play at her home for the first time.

The purpose of the show is very simple, it is to invite them to see how she makes mooncakes. The materials used, the making process, and then the sweet and delicious mooncakes are brought to everyone and eaten in their mouths.

Don’t underestimate this activity. It was this activity that made these women become the promoters of her mooncakes. Not only did every household in the village buy her mooncakes, but it also attracted the surrounding villagers to come and buy them. For a time, their mooncakes were

The scale of production is too small, and the contradiction between supply and demand is prominently placed before our eyes.

Some small shop owners even took the initiative to find Aunt Wenying, hoping to sell wholesale mooncakes to them, and also sell their scones, but the supply must be stable, and they must sell first and pay later.

If Aunt Wenying has the capital to expand her production scale, if Aunt Wenying has greater ability to copy and promote her business model, and if Aunt Wenying has enough funds to maintain the turnover of advance payments for sales first and payment later, maybe she will become a

If she becomes an entrepreneur, even if she cannot become an entrepreneur, at least her business will make a qualitative leap. However, the fact is that there is no if.

When Aunt Wenying saw this business opportunity, she planned to move the workshop to the street, rent a store, apply for a business license, and even take out a "loan" to expand the scale, and do it seriously. Uncle Baobao and

A "war" broke out between Aunt Wenying and they had a fight. From a purely height and weight perspective, Uncle Baobao should not be a match for Aunt Wenying. But a man is a man, maybe his bones are harder and his strength is stronger.

A little bit?

In this "hand-to-hand battle" between Aunt Wenying and Uncle Baobao, on the surface both sides "lost the prize". As for whether there were any "internal injuries", only they know. Maybe Uncle Baobao won? Their mooncake business was

A small flame appeared, but it was extinguished by reality or "short-sightedness". Maybe this battle also shattered the "ladder" of their destiny.

The cold war lasted for several days. Life still had to go on. Open your eyes and the whole family had to eat. Reality forced them to "forget the war", put together the flour, and continued to bake the scones.
