195 Custom-made Bowls
“Today, my mother isn’t going to the fields, so there shouldn’t be too many people coming to buy the cold cakes before noon.”
“If we don’t have enough, it’s not a problem. My mother and the two children can make more.”
Liu Shi had already gone to soak the rice.
In addition, she had already prepared 3 barrels of lime water last night, which can be used after filtering.
She prepared well.
“Alright! I’ll take 6 buckets!” Wang Shuanzi said with a smile.
He looked at the large basket that he brought.
Although the basket looked old, it was clean and it looked freshly washed.
“His father tried it last night. If we seal the top, we can fit 6buckets of cold cakes and 7 to 8 small bowls in it without any problem!” Aunt Wang said with a smile.
It was more cost-effective to bring more at once so they didn’t have to waste time going back and forth.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have a cart to travel by, so they could only have their son carry it.
6 buckets of cold cakes was enough to make 150 bowls, and if they sold all of it, they would earn more than a day’s work at the dock.
“Alright! Try it out first!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
After talking with the mother and son for a while, they left.
Li Xiao rode the cart, and Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang sat in it, heading out.
When they arrived at Qingshi Town, Li Xiao got off at the same spot as yesterday.
Lin Xiaoyue took over and took Aunt Wang to Ruyi Restaurant, picked up 10 buckets of cold cakes, and asked Aunt Wang to watch over remaining cold cakes in the cart.
Then, she went in to settle the bill.
She received 7 taels of silver and 50 wen for 10 buckets of cold cakes.
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted to receive the money.
After returning to the cart, they left the restaurant.
They then headed to the west of the city to set up their stall. As soon as the stall was set up, customers started coming in. Aunt Wang was already familiar with the operations, so after Lin Xiaoyue cut the cold cake, she warmly led the customers to their seats Business was better than yesterday, with only a few customers returning the bowls they used for takeout, and ended up buying more cold cakes to take home. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoyue brought more cold cakes. With 8 more buckets, so they sold out later than yesterday. “You closed up early again! Bring more tomorrow!” The steamed bun stall owner said to Lin Xiaoyue as he packed some buns for her.
“Hehe, I’l bring a few more buckets tomorrow!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
The market was the most crowded place in town. It’s a shame that only the morning market was busy. After 10:30, the flow of people here would start to decrease. They only had half an hour left. They could bring more tomorrow. After getting some buns, Lin Xiaoyue went to buy some vegetables, and then went to the grocery store to replenish the bowls they used for takeout. She found out that the bowls she ordered from Mr. Jin were ready For the sake of advertising, Lin Xiaoyue ordered three types of custom-made bowls from Mr. Jin, with quantities of 400, 600, and 300 respectively.
The bottom of each bowl had the character “Liu” written on it. She didn’t go straight to the kiln factory to order the bowls because Mr. Jin had connections.
This was also why he was able to charge her so little. When he heard that Lin Xiaovue wanted to customize the bowls for takeout, he immediately quoted her a price. The price was even cheaper than what he said before. Lin Xiaoyue was tempted and immediately paid the deposit. But she didn’t expect the bowls to be ready so quickly..
