After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 181 Selling Mooncakes

"Hiss!" Su Tai gasped. "How can she be so bold!"

Shen Yi shook his head meaningfully, and said with great emotion, "Lord Liu, the town official, came from a poor background. He must have had the courage that ordinary people don't have to build up his current fortune."

The town magistrate's wife was his bedmate, and through constant exposure, she was naturally far superior to ordinary women.

My idea is to send a batch of mooncakes over before the tenth day of the eighth lunar month. If they sell well, the Liu family will definitely order another batch from us.

Su Tai nodded slightly. "I've already placed the order. You can send over a batch of mooncakes first thing tomorrow morning to fulfill the order. As for the price..."

Su Tai pondered carefully and said, "We'll wholesale them to them. For example, the salted egg yolk and red bean paste flavor will sell for fifteen coins each, and the five-nut pancake will sell for ten coins each. As for how they price it when they resell it, that's none of our business."

"it is good!"

The next morning, Su Tai moved a batch of mooncakes to the open space in the yard.

Shen Yi called over a few trusted villagers to help transport the goods.

This batch of mooncakes is worth twenty taels of silver, and the cost is six thousand five hundred virtual coins. If they sell well, we can quickly supply more.

The pillow of Moshi Town.

Ma Yujie's men were already waiting at the town entrance. When they saw Shen Yi's oxcart convoy, they immediately went forward, exchanged a few polite words, and the manager led his men to inspect the goods on the spot.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the items, the manager thanked Shen Yi, paid the money, and then headed towards the county town with the mooncakes.

After bidding farewell to the manager, Shen Yi hurriedly delivered the remaining mooncakes to Ma Xingteng's restaurant.

After returning home, I took the remaining mooncakes and went straight to Dahe Town.

Manager Li of Jixiang Inn in Dahe Town was an old friend of Shen Yi's. As soon as Shen Yi entered the town, he went to find him and put the mooncakes in front of Manager Li.

Manager Li immediately understood Shen Yi's purpose, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

He called out the inn's chefs, and they shared a few mooncakes.

They gathered together to discuss it.

Shen Yi wasn't in a hurry. He took advantage of a break in their discussion to go to the dye shop and deliver a small basket to Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi wouldn't let such a good opportunity to curry favor slip by, and in less than half an hour...

The mooncakes that Shen Yi gave him have already reached Master Pu.

Master Pu wasn't interested in sweet mooncakes, but he really liked the mixed nuts and savory mooncakes, and kept asking Uncle Qi where they came from.

Uncle Qi hurriedly said, "Master, do you still remember Shen Yi who sold you vegetables for your winter greenhouse last time? These mooncakes are from his shop. He gave me some, and I thought you would like them, so I brought them to you first."

Master Pu pointed at Uncle Qi and laughed uncontrollably, "You, you! Alright, I understand what you mean. Buy some for me later, they'll be useful for Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and social niceties."

Most importantly, these mooncakes are exquisite and delicious; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his money on them.

Uncle Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to find Shen Yi.

Shen Yi had just finalized the mooncake deal with Manager Li when he was stopped by Uncle Qi at the inn's entrance.

Now that Manager Li knew that Master Pu had asked Shen Yi to buy mooncakes, he quickly doubled the quantity that had just been agreed upon.

After returning, Shen Yi immediately ran to find Su Tai.

Su Tai went to the bakery again to place a larger order.

The couple were too busy to deliver gifts to Dongmen Village, so they asked Shen Liang for help and managed to send a batch of mooncakes and crabs there.

Overjoyed to receive the gifts, Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask a few questions. Upon learning that her daughter and son-in-law were selling mooncakes, she couldn't sit still any longer. She not only promoted the products in the village but also made a trip to Ximen Village to ask the Han family for help. "Did you buy mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

"Why buy mooncakes? Only rich people in town are fussy. We can just make a few pancakes and eat them."

"Ha! You're really pathetic! Everyone's living better now, and you've never even eaten a big mooncake that costs fifteen coins. If word gets out, people will laugh you to death!"

"Huh? Fifteen coins isn't cheap! Besides, can that pancake even smell as good as a baked pancake?"

"It smells amazing! It smells incredible! If you don't believe me, buy one and try it! I'm telling you, the Su family in Dongmen Village sells them, hurry up, or you won't be able to buy any!"

Similar conversations spread to several nearby villages, and more and more people came to Su Chunlin's house to buy mooncakes.

Su Chunlin and Su Zhan took turns running to Shenjiazhuang.

Su Tai didn't expect that her family would also place an order with her, and even gave her a discount of one or two coins so that her family could earn more.

After a busy period until noon on the 15th of August, all the goods were finally delivered.

Su Tai was able to sit down and catch her breath.

Shen Yi closed the door.

The couple started calculating their accounts.

"The total is more than 365 taels, which is more than I expected!" Su Tai was somewhat surprised and incredulous.

Shen Yi stroked his chin and pondered, "The first batch of goods sold for twenty taels. Since that day, the daily order volume has been increasing, especially yesterday. We sold a hundred taels of goods in just one day. Today it's a bit less, only thirty taels. I guess it's the end of the business."

"That's good too!" Su Tai was very happy. She quickly put away the silver and urged Shen Yi to wash the crabs. The three of them wanted to enjoy the moon together tonight.

Shen Yi took Shen Yuezhang to the kitchen to help with the work.

Su Tai took the opportunity to bring the money into the transit station and sort out the accounts.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, she spent nearly 120,000 yuan at the bakery, managing to complete more than half of an impossible spending task. At this rate, if she sells another batch of pastries before the Lunar New Year, she can upgrade to the "Fire Time and Space" store. Hopefully, the upgraded store won't be such a rip-off.

Su Tai prayed for a moment and then left the portal.

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, its pure light spilling into the brightly lit courtyard, adding a touch of chill to the autumn night.

Shen Yi brought a large plate of crabs to the table, along with a plate of mooncakes, a pot of chicken soup, a plate of flatbread, and some Shine Muscat grapes.

The table was full of food, which made me happy just looking at it.

The two exchanged auspicious words with the moon and teased Shen Yuezhang for a while before starting to eat.

Crabs are considered "cold" in traditional Chinese medicine, so even though they are delicious, Su Tai didn't dare to eat too many and only ate two before stopping.

Shen Yi, a grown man, really couldn't appreciate crabs. He ate two, but then stopped because he found it too much trouble.

Seeing that Su Tai had finished eating, he packed up the remaining crabs and sent them to Shen Zhuang and Shen Mu's house.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival over, it's time to start the autumn harvest.

He still needs Huang Xinghua's help with the work in his fields.

When Shen Yi arrived at Shen Mu's house, he found them enjoying the moon and eating in the courtyard. On the table was a large five-nut mooncake, some coarse flour steamed buns, wild vegetable dumplings, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

This should be standard equipment for most households in the village.

He subtly withdrew his gaze and handed the item to Huang Xinghua. “Auntie, this is some rock scrambled eggs I brought from Daxun River. There’s not much meat, but it’s quite fragrant. Xiaotai is pregnant and can’t eat too much, and I find it too troublesome to eat either. I’m just giving you some to treat yourselves.”

"Oh! How could I possibly accept this?" Huang Xinghua was overjoyed and began to exchange pleasantries with Shen Yi.
