Chapter 3 Onion Fragrant Hand Cake (Part 2)
I have to say that the batch of noodles bought by my father Ning Liang is still of good quality, and there is no problem in making hand-catch cakes.
Then he began to keep throwing the dough, making the dough smoother. Finally, he took some vegetable oil and applied it to the dough.
The father Ning Liang and his mother Ning Liu on the side were both stunned.
On weekdays, my own boy is a gentleman who is far away from the kitchen. Not to mention working and cooking, he doesn’t even want to go in the kitchen.
Today he actually kneaded the noodles by himself, looking at his attitude, he was still an expert!
But they have never seen their son have such talent on weekdays. Is this what people say, "If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world's affairs?"
Ning Xiu took the cover and covered the dough to wake up the dough. When he was waiting, he smiled at his father and said, "Dad, our family usually sells steamed buns? Have you ever managed pancakes?"
Ning Liang shook his head repeatedly.
It seems similar to making pancakes and steamed buns, but the methods inside are quite different.
"Didn't dad know what the price of cakes in Jingzhou Prefecture are?"
Ning Liang said in a deep voice: "Your Uncle Wu's sugar cake is a penny. His cake should be the most expensive in Jiangling County."
Ning Liang naturally understood the price of steamed buns and pancakes. In his opinion, sugar cakes are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the amount of money they earn may not be as much as he sells steamed buns.
One penny per bill...
Ning Xiu couldn't help but sigh that the prices in the Ming Dynasty were really low. Logically speaking, prices had risen during the Wanli period, but they were definitely the conscientious price that the people could afford.
The reason why he asked his father about the price of cakes in Jiangling County was to see how the competitors priced them.
Although hand-grabbed cakes did not appear in the Ming Dynasty, there were still similar sugar cakes and salt cakes.
The key to marketing is price positioning. Only when the price is set can the product be sold well.
After the dough was awake, Ning Xiu put it on the chopping board and applied vegetable oil, and rolled it into a round shape with a pin.
Next, Ning Xiu took the green onions and chopped them into chopped green onions, sprinkled them evenly on the dough.
Ning Xiu skillfully used a knife to cut the dough several times, and then pulled the dough apart.
At this time, the dough is just like a broken but not a broken one. Ning Xiu circled it clockwise into a dough plate and then rolled it with a rolling pin.
After this series of processes, the pastry of the hand-grabbed cake is ready.
Ning Xiu took the vegetable oil and applied it to the bottom of the pot, then put the dough into the pot to fry it. Not long after, a golden and bright scallion oil cake was ready.
Seeing that his father and mother looked surprised, Ning Xiu took out the cake from the pot and handed it to the two of them and said, "Son's wish, please try something about my father and mother."
Ning Liang and Ning Liu took half of each, and the browned cake was as soon as they were put into their mouths, which stimulated their taste buds. The two closed their eyes and savored the rich fragrance carefully.
The fragrance of onion, oil and noodles are all together, which makes it so beautiful. In comparison, not to mention the steamed buns steamed by Ning Liang, even the sweet cakes from Lao Wu’s family are pale.
If this kind of cake is really spread out and sold, the Ning family will definitely make a fortune.
It is indeed the work of the founder of the chef, Yi Yin, and it is extraordinary!
"Dad, mom, how does this hand-catch cake taste?"
Seeing that the two of them were not talking for a long time, Ning Xiu was still a little nervous. After all, people of different eras would have a slightly different taste. He was not sure that the people of the Ming Dynasty would really like this hand-catch cake.
“The taste of this cake is so good.”
Ning Liang was a straight man and would not hide his emotions at all. He immediately said, "Xu'er, teach your father how to make it. Tonight, my father will make dozens of dough cakes and let them dry them. Fry them tomorrow morning and sell them with steamed buns!"
Ning Xiu rolled his eyes when he heard this. This is too unfair to be optimistic about the potential of grabbing cakes with hands. He has only made dozens of them at a time...
Well, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and good things can always come forward.
"Xu'er, this cake tastes really good. If it can be sold for money, our family's life will be much better."
Ning Liu was also laughing from ear to ear. Her son was promising, so the happiest thing was naturally her mother.
In the following time, Ning Xiu and his father and mother made hand-catch cakes together, and the whole family joined forces.
I was speechless all night. The next day, my father Ning Liang got up early to fry and grab the cake.
Most of the old customers who come to buy steamed buns come at dawn, so Ning Liang dare not slackew on the slightest.
It took Ning Liang more than half an hour to fry dozens of hand-catch pancakes, and at this time he was sweating profusely.
Before Ning Liang could rest for a while, old customers came to buy steamed buns one after another.
He naturally tried his best to boast about the cake.
"Aunt Han, this is a newly crafted pancake from a certain family. It's called...a hand-grabbing pancake. Do you want to come and try it out two?"
"Miss Cui, this hand-catch cake is crispy and delicious, it must be your taste."
"Uncle Wang, although this cake costs three cents per piece, a certain family promises that it is definitely the best in Jiangling in all."
“…”
In less than a stick of incense, dozens of fried hand-catch cakes were sold, and Ning Liang couldn't stop talking.
This hand-catch cake is much better than steamed buns, and it has a lot of profits. It can completely afford the expenses of his son studying in the county.
Ning Xiu was not surprised that dozens of hand-catch cakes were sold out in an instant.
Although his price is three times that of Wu's sweet cakes, the amount of cakes is crispy and the new product style will naturally attract many curious old customers to buy them.
Saying that three cents is much less, but saying more is not too much.
Those Jiangling people were willing to spend a penny to buy a sugar cake, and they were definitely able to spend a three-month to buy a hand-catch cake.
The most important thing is that the quality of hand-grabbing cakes is one street ahead of similar production films in the Ming Dynasty.
In the face of absolute quality advantages, this price gap is nothing.
Moreover, high prices are not necessarily a disadvantage. The concept of cheap but not good products is rooted in people's hearts. The price of hand-grabbing cakes can make the people feel at ease.
"Fifty hand-catch cakes were sold out... It was sold for 150 cents on the first day. With the money from flour, vegetable oil, chopped green onion and firewood, I made 80 cents, which is much more profitable than selling steamed buns."
When the family was having supper, the father laughed so hard that he couldn't stop praising his son, and praised him in a mess.
"Dad, I don't have to go to Wang Yuanwai's house to do the accounting, right?"
"Boy, are you like that kind of person in your father?"
Ning Liang cursed with a smile.
Ning Xiu was naturally very proud. The fist product of hand-grabbing cakes has much more technical content than steamed buns. The product can only be sold at a price with technical content. This principle is obvious.
