The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

Here, sweet and greasy food and pastries are usually favored by girls and boys, but Ye Fanxing does not intend to let go of the men's business.

So he decided to make five-nut mooncakes that could satisfy everyone's taste.

In the China where he originally lived, there were five moral principles: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, and "five benevolences" happened to be homophonic with them.

I think it is also applicable in this time and space.

He taught Ye Yushan and his wife how to knead the dough. Everyone else started to busy themselves with the fillings. Even Xiao Nan'er helped to peel the peanuts.

As for Song Haoming, Ye Fanxing asked him to simply draw a few patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and also some words with meanings such as "pass the imperial examination", and then went to Uncle Li's house.

Ye Fanxing directed everyone to roast all the peanut kernels, melon seeds, etc. first, and then grind them separately.

Then he directed everyone to prepare different five-nut fillings, some of which were too sweet, some were too salty, and some were a little light.

In short, the only thing in common about these fillings is that there are exactly five of them.

"Xing Ge'er, how much do you plan to sell this mooncake for?"

Zao Ge'er asked while kneading the dough, let alone the filling, he said that ten eggs were put in the neutralized dough!

Ye Fanxing looked at the ten mooncake molds he had brought back from Uncle Li. Based on the size, he estimated that a mooncake would not weigh more than 50 grams.

He calculated in his mind that the fillings and crusts he had could make mooncakes worth about 400 yuan. So, a mooncake would cost nearly 100 yuan.

He couldn't help but frown when he thought of this. This was really not something that ordinary people could afford.

"Zao brother, do you know how much the most famous cake in town costs?"

"Speaking of pastries, Xiang Ya Zhai's pastries are the most distinctive. They are delicious, but too expensive. Their most expensive pastry costs less than one ounce."

"Take ordinary cloud silk cake as an example. Xiangya Zhai charges five cents more for a piece than other cake shops."

After hearing what Zao Ge'er said, Ye Fanxing had an idea in mind. In addition to selling the mooncakes himself, he could also consign the mooncakes to Xiangyazhai.

If they liked his mooncake recipe, he wouldn't mind selling it so that he could tinker with some food when he had nothing to do, but he had never thought about opening a pastry shop.

After all, what he wanted most was to open a clinic, but unfortunately he was a boy in this time and space, and it was harder for a boy to survive than a girl...

Although the ratio of skin to filling is 2:8, Ye Fanxing did not use a scale to measure it accurately. After all, this is a big project. He plans to bake all the mooncakes tonight and go to town early tomorrow morning.

In order to practice, Ye Fanxing baked a total of 15 mooncakes in the small earthen kiln for the first three times.

Every time he put a mooncake in the east, west, south, north and center of the earthen kiln. In addition to measuring the temperature, he also wanted to ensure that the kiln temperature was balanced.

Needless to say, the mooncakes from the first kiln were... mushy.

Ye Fanxing said with regret, "Fortunately it didn't turn into charcoal, otherwise it wouldn't be edible, and that would be a direct loss of Wu Baiwen."

"..." Only then did everyone realize that Ye Fanxing was planning to sell them for 100 Wen each. Looking at the mooncakes that did not look good, they felt so distressed.

The second kiln is much better than the first, but it still has no marketability.

When the mooncakes from the third kiln came out, their skin was golden yellow with an even color, especially the one in the middle, which had an oily surface, appearing translucent and shiny.

The two pots of mooncakes that didn’t look good and were a bit burnt were so delicious. You don’t even need to smell this pot, you can tell it’s top quality just by looking at the color.

Then they carefully baked the mooncakes for the fourth kiln following the steps for the third kiln. The only difference was that the mooncakes from this kiln had fifteen varieties.

After the fourth mooncake came out of the kiln, Ye Fanxing handed over the remaining mooncake baking work to Ye Yushan and his wife.

He and Song Haoming took twenty mooncakes and drove a mule cart straight to Xiangyazhai in the town.

Ye Fanxing originally planned to temporarily park the mule cart in front of Xiangyazhai and leave after finishing the business.

Unexpectedly, Xiangyazhai was crowded with people at this time. He could only park the mule cart at a storage place in the city, and then push Song Haoming back with the mooncakes.

"Is Xiangya Zhai so popular?"

Ye Fanxing pushed Song Haoming in the long queue and complained quietly.

The guy in front of them, who was dressed very proudly, turned around, looked Ye Fanxing and his wife up and down, and then spoke to remind them.

"Well, my dear husband, you may not know that if you want to buy Xiangyazhai's cakes during festivals in Chiding Town, you have to make a reservation ten days in advance."

Ye Fanxing nodded and thanked him, still pushing Song Haoming into Xiangyazhai. After all, he didn't come here to buy cakes as gifts, but to promote his moon cakes.

However, he had to admire the gift-giving practice, which had always been around and could make some businesses extremely wealthy during festivals.

"Please show me your reservation card."

"Young man, I want to discuss business with your boss. Please introduce me to him."

The waiter frowned. Usually, people who came to see the boss at this time were from the rival family who came to cause trouble. Over the years in the store, there were people coming during every holiday, so he was used to it.

Seeing that the waiter was unmoved, Ye Fanxing simply opened the food box containing the mooncakes and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter's face became even more displeased when he saw this. This guy really came to mess things up!

Just as I was about to open my mouth to chase the person away, I heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from behind me.

"Please come to the backyard with Mr. Lu to discuss in detail."

The waiter turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was none other than the second shopkeeper, so he quickly made way.

Shopkeeper Lu in the backyard generously and naturally tried one-third of the mooncakes, then looked directly at Song Haoming and asked, "Can you sell this cake recipe?"

Unexpectedly, Song Haoming hinted to him that his husband should be in charge of this business. Although a hint of surprise flashed across Manager Lu's face, he did not look down on Ye Fanxing, but negotiated with him very politely.

Ye Fanxing also promoted the mooncakes she made, and informed others that the mooncakes can be kept for ten days if stored properly.

As for the recipe, he can sell it, but the mooncakes for this Moon-Chasing Festival are all provided by his family, and Xiangyazhai has to purchase them from him.

Currently, there are only five-nut mooncakes, and each one costs 150 wen. As for how much Xiangyazhai sells them for, he won't ask.

After some discussion, the five-nut mooncake recipe was sold to Xiangyazhai for 150 taels of silver, which of course also included the construction of his small earthen kiln.

Xiangyazhai required that the total amount of mooncakes received on August 15th be no less than one thousand. Taking purchasing issues into consideration, all the materials were provided by Xiangyazhai, and the final price of the mooncakes was one hundred coins each.

When Song Haoming saw his money-loving husband smiling with his eyes curved, he knew that he must have made a lot of money from this business!

He is very distressed now. What should he do since his husband makes too much money?
