General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 58 – Clingy (2)

Su Xiaoxiao came to the stall and asked him with a smile: “Have you considered it? Do you want to share the profits with me or do you want me to supply the goods to you?”

The butcher looked at the little chubby village girl who had misled him into thinking she was into him, turned his face sadly: “Share the profits.”

In this way, if there was any loss, it would be counted as her loss, and if there was any profit, he also could earn some profit share.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Okay.”

The butcher frowned at her and said, “You are not surprised at all. Do you already know that I will choose to share the profits?”

Su Xiaoxiao spread out her hands: “Because you don’t have to take risks if you choose to share the profits. If there’s any profit, you will get a share, and if there’s any loss, it will be counted as my loss.”

“But I want 30 – 70,” said the butcher.

“20 – 80! In addition, sell your meat to me at half of the price!”

“Half? That’s too much!”

“Just think of it as the wholesale price. The goods that I supplied also can be sold at a good price. You can do the calculations, you will definitely be able to earn it back!”

The butcher finally agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Well then, let’s try to sell it for a day first, and happy cooperation.”

After leaving the two big jars behind, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou went to Jinji again.

-Big jar

Although it had only been sold for two days, Su Xiaoxiao’s wife’s cakes had already been spread inside Jinji.

-Wife’s cakes / Lao Po Ping (老婆饼)

“Aiyaah, It’s not me who say it. But can you change the way you sell your Jinji snacks? They are so expensive, and they are always the same of those kinds. Even the cakes that are made by a small village girl are more delicious than your cakes! Its name is also very interesting, it’s called…wife’s cakes!”

The one who made the complaint was an old customer of Jinji.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Sun didn’t take it seriously and said, “They went to buy it only because that girl saved a child in Jinji. How could it be possible for her cakes to be so delicious?”

After all, their Jinji’s cook came from the capital, and he even entered the palace as an imperial cook in his early years!

How could he lose to a little village girl?

“Yo yo yoo… The wife’s cake is here!”

The old customer came out of Jinji without saying a word, “Girl! Leave some for me!”

“Wife’s cakes, tch1, such a vulgar name!” Shopkeeper Sun went to the back kitchen coldly.

1tch : used to express annoyance, scoff or sneer at something.

Several cooks were gathering together to taste the cakes. All of the cakes that they sold every day must be tasted by themselves, and they would sell them only after the cakes passed the standard. Otherwise, they would rather throw them away than sell them to the customers.

They had been trying to improve their own pastries recently.

“It smells good.” Shopkeeper Sun came forward and looked at the cake on the table and said, “Is it newly made? It seems to be different from the previous recipe.”

The cooks said nothing.

Shopkeeper Sun took a taste, and his eyes brightened: “It’s fragrant, soft, and sweet. It’s much more delicious than the ones we made before! Who of you made it?”

The cooks looked at each other.

One of them mustered up his courage and said, “It’s bought from outside… It’s the wife’s cake of that little village girl.”

Shopkeeper Sun : “……”

At the alley near Jinji, Su Xiaoxiao sold the last wife’s cake in the tray and was about to close the stall.

“Miss, give me two with red bean filling and one with meigan cai!”

-Red bean filling

-Meigan Cai with pork meat filling

-A bundle of Meigan Cai (梅干菜)
A type of dry pickled chinese mustard. The pickle consists of a whole head of various varieties of chinese mustards and cabbages that has undergone an elaborate process consisting of drying, steaming, and salting. The vegetables are harvested, trimmed before the Qingming Festival, and sun-dried until limp. It is then salted or brined, kneaded until the juices are exuded, and left to ferment in large clay urns for 15 to 20 days. The vegetable is then repeatedly steamed and dried until reddish brown in color and highly fragrant.

Said a young woman who just came up.

Su Xiaoke said politely, “I apologize, we are sold out for today.”

The woman pointed to Su Ergou’s basket and said, “I see there are some left inside the basket?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “These are not for sale.”

Su Ergou leaned into his older sister’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Jie2, there are still so many left, why don’t you sell them?”

“You will know in a moment.”

Half an hour later, they stood at the gate of Wutong Academy.

At this moment, the students had already started their classes, and there were not many people outside.

The guard at the gate stopped them and asked, “What are you doing?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m looking for Shen Chuan.”
