116 How About Selling Cold Glutinous Cakes?

“It really does taste good! It didn’t look like you used a lot of rice, but you actually made so much. It’s just that brown sugar is a little expensive.” Aunt Wang also ate with a smile on her face.

“I think it’s okay. I didn’t see how much sugar was added just now.” Liu Shi added.

“Hehe, it’s fine as long as you like it!” Lin Xiaoyue was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.

“I’ll sell them in town for 5 wen a bowl, what do you think?”

Liu Shi and Aunt Wang paused.

Even Wang Erya, who was at the side, stopped eating the cold cake.

“You can try! This cold cake is delicious and can relieve summer heat. It can be eaten by both adults and children!” Aunt Wang said excitedly.

“But isn’t 5 wen a little too expensive? A bowl of noodles in the west of the city is only 7 wen,” she continued.

Liu Shi nodded.

“4 wen for a bowl is definitely possible!” She was also a little excited.

Her daughter kept saying that she wanted to start a business. Was she referring to selling cold glutinous cake?

This thing was indeed and delicious, and the cost was not high. Perhaps it would really work!

“Then 5 wen for a bowl and 8 wen for two bowls.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

She had confidence in the cold cakes she made. The market in the western part of the city was very crowded. It was not just the farmers outside town who liked to go there to trade and buy things. As things there were cheap, many people in town would go too.

If she were to sell them at 5 wen per bowl and 8 wen for two bowls, there must be a lot of people willing to try it.

As long as they were willing to try, she was confident that most people would become her returning customers.

The cold cakes were sent directly to be sold after they were made at home. If the customers wanted to buy some, she could directly cut it up and put it into the bowl, and then add some brown sugar water.

She only needed to bring some bowls and spoons, as well as the water and bucket to wash the dishes. When the customers finished eating, the bowls and spoons could be immediately washed and reused.

Besides, they had an ox-cart at home, so maybe they could bring a small table, a few small stools, and so on. This would attract more attention.

“Calculate the capital first.” Liu Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Aunt Wang also looked at Lin Xiaoyue with excitement.

She was looking at the cold cakes. Although the polished rice and brown sugar were expensive, it did not need much to make so many cold cakes. Anyway, she felt that it was profitable.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, “I used about 3 catties of polished rice. The polished rice in the grain store was 8 wen per catty, which was 24 wen. A catty of brown sugar was 12 wen, so this little bit of sugar water probably only cost 4 wen. So, excluding the firewood and labor cost, the total cost of these cold cakes is 28 wen.”

“I estimate that these cold cakes can be divided into 45 bowls according to the size I just cut. Even if it’s 4 wen per bowl, it’s still 180 wen.”

Aunt Wang’s eyes lit up.

“Wouldn’t you be able to earn 152 wen if you sell all of them?!” She quickly said.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at her, a little surprised at the speed of her calculation.

“This is based on 4 wen per bowl. If it’s 5 wen per bowl, it’s a total of 225 wen!”

Aunt Wang’s eyes flickered. “Wow, then the profit is 197 wen!”

Liu Shi was also very surprised. Even 152 wen was good, let alone 197 wen! It was almost the amount of money a strong man would have to work hard for a day to earn.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “There are so many people in town. 45 bowls won’t be enough.”

As soon as she said that, their expressions changed.
