Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

In the busy schedule, time flies by. Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Su Mulan directed Hong to make egg tarts, meat floss cakes, bread, cakes, etc.

Even after having bread, Sumulan developed a burger!

Compared with the exquisite and complicated Chinese pastries with high-end ingredients of our ancestors, these pastries are simply too much.

Although Su Mulan had learned baking before, she had not practiced for many years and had trouble grasping the ratios. She had to do these eating experiments many times before she was satisfied.

Although it cost more than ten taels of silver to make these food ingredients, the remaining one-third of the ingredients were used in the experiment and the money was recouped after the cakes were sold.

The egg tarts and burgers are especially popular.

Su Mulan was worried that these simple baked goods would be copied by smart people, so she directly increased investment and built six ovens in the back room, making and selling them in large quantities.

Yang Jing opened a braised vegetable shop long ago, but the business was not as good as expected. Until Su Mulan put these novel pastries for sale in the shop, her business also improved.

Fortunately, Su Mulan wasn't stingy at first and let Yang Jing rent a shop with a big enough reputation.

The food was selling like hot cakes, so Su Mulan took advantage of the situation and named the shop Mulan Zhai. I also went to a paper shop, a ceramics shop, and a carpentry shop to customize packaging with the Mulanzhai logo.

Although Anlan County is large, the county seat is not as huge as it was in later generations. The inner city covers an area of ​​only four square kilometers and has a permanent population of 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Therefore, in just ten days, Mulanzhai's fame shocked the whole county. The supply of these ten kinds of cakes exceeds the demand, and Yang Jing cannot handle them all by herself.

The three Wang brothers had to help in the store every day.

Su Mulan couldn't keep up with the pastry making process here, so she had to buy eight more girls who were agile and knew some cooking skills to help Hong.

Although these recipes will be researched by others sooner or later and similar meals will be made, they can still be maintained for as long as possible before that.

Therefore, Su Mulan could only buy the girl instead of hiring her.

With the body bond here, there is no fear that they would dare to reveal the recipe. And in order to prevent being served from the same pot, Su Mulan asked each person to only be responsible for one or two pastries.

Hong's mother, Zhu, and her daughter Jiu'er are bound to each other, and Su Mulan doesn't worry about her betrayal. She asked Hong to take charge of all baking matters.

Nowadays, the back yard has been completely transformed into a baking workshop.

There are eight ovens lined up in the yard, baking constantly. In each of the eight houses, there is a girl responsible for making pastry embryos.

Zhu and Jiuer were responsible for packaging the formed cakes and then sending them to the outer courtyard to the Wang brothers. Then they send it to Mulanzhai for sale.

In the first few days, Su Mulan was busy teaching Hong and a few girls how to make baked goods. Once these nine people were completely familiar with the whole process, she would be treated as a hands-off shopkeeper.

Mrs. Yu had no time to spare at home, but she would go to the shop to help from time to time. Su Mulan was afraid that she and Yang Jing would have conflicts over the commission issue, so she thought of another way.

That is, Mrs. Yu and her servant Tang are responsible for "takeaway".

There are wealthy regular customers, and any pastries they need will be made by Hong. Mrs. Yu delivers the goods to people's doorsteps, eliminating the need to queue up at the shop.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the end-of-month accounting.

Su Xi'er was counting the copper coins so hard that her hands cramped up. Ye Xue couldn't watch, so she naturally helped count them. Su Mulan counted the silver and banknotes with a smile on her face.

"Sister, I'm exhausted. We've already counted the copper coins and banknotes here. There are a total of 245,816 Wen!" Su Xi'er was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. This is two hundred One hundred and fourteen taels of silver!

"Xi'er, how much money do you think I have here?" Su Mulan raised the banknote in her hand and said with a smile.

She was responsible for weighing the silver and counting the banknotes, and naturally she could finish it much faster than Xier and the others. She has been drinking tea beside him for half an hour.

Xi'er and Ye Xue spent two hours counting the copper coins and small-denomination banknotes.

"Sister, if you smile so happily, you must have five hundred taels, right?" Su Xier's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.

"Xi'er, this is because your situation is too small. I have one thousand and eighty-four taels!" Su Mulan laughed heartily.

"Yeah! Yeah! We're rich, we're rich!" Su Xi'er's face turned red and she jumped with joy.

Su Mulan looked at Xi'er's cheerful look and listened to the crisp sound of coins and silver jingling, and felt a sense of security filling her heart.

At the end of the month, I found out that even though I had only been selling these baked goods for twenty days, I had already made a full one thousand two hundred taels of silver!

Based on this calculation, you can earn 1,800 taels per month, which is an income of more than 20,000 taels a year!

However, Su Mulan had too much faith in the Chinese people's copying methods. It would take less than a year for many pastry shops to make similar dishes.

By then, Mulanzhai's income will naturally plummet.

But Su Mulan wasn't worried, as soon as she got the quick money. Secondly, we can continue to develop pizza, sandwiches, biscuits and other other foods.

Mulanzhai's food is so novel that not only the wealthy households in the county continue to buy it, but now it has also spread to the county government.

Anlan County Government, three halls.

"Brother, how do you like this pastry made by Mulan?" Xie Chengan held a small butter biscuit in his hand. He looked at each other for a long time and was reluctant to eat it, but he smiled at Jiang Ruiyan who was sitting next to him.

"Hey, Miss Su's cooking skills and skills are so good. I'm afraid it won't take more than two months for these delicacies to spread to the capital." Jiang Ruiyan didn't follow Xie Chengan's example. He bit down half of the biscuit in one bite and said while eating.

"Of course, Mulan is very clever and knowledgeable. Maybe she will come up with some delicious food tomorrow." Xie Chengan was very pleased with himself.

If there were other minor officials or servants in the hall, they would be surprised that the usually stern and serious man could have such a casual side.

I cannot blame Xie Chengan for this.

He was originally a young man who had achieved great success, and when he was awarded the Jinshi title just after he was weak, he was naturally very high-spirited.

However, as soon as he took office, he encountered two murder cases.

In particular, the murder of the former magistrate was an extremely serious case.

Not to mention that the prefect sent someone to supervise the situation a few days ago, even the provincial inspector sent a prefect to inquire.

The governor's surname was Bu and his name was Jiang Li.

Although the governor is only the eighth grade, he is two levels lower than Xie Chengan. But he was appointed by Master Qu, the inspector, and he represented the Yamen of Zhensi. How could Xie Chengan dare to neglect him.

To ordinary people, the county magistrate is a very powerful official.

But in the officialdom, the county magistrate is the sesame official. There are countless "mother-in-laws" above, and any envoys sent from above have to entertain and worship, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.

The county magistrate spends most of his time welcoming people and sending them off, and only a small part of his time is dealing with official business in the county.

Therefore, the county government needs to maintain a large number of officials and servants.
