    Although many people are obsessed with cakes, but as they said, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, obviously the festival is the most important. This moon cake has such a beautiful meaning, how can it live up to it?

    But no one thought that moon cakes would be so expensive.

    "What?! One or two only two boxes!"

    "...How many in that box?"

    "How big is the box? Is it that big?"

    Lu Zhanhong's cousin, a young man in his thirties, was judging the size in pain. According to his drawings, there were at least a dozen mooncakes in a box.

    Ji Wei shook his head with a smile, "A box of six-month cakes, two flavors. There are four flavors, and two boxes are available."

    "Can't it be cheaper?"

    "Sorry, no."

    "This moon cake is really made of silver..."

    "Forget it, one Mid-Autumn Festival a year, I want two boxes!"

    "Then... I want four boxes, and two boxes for my parents."

    "Wait a moment, everyone, I need paper to take notes." Someone had already taken a pen and paper and waited beside him. Ji Wei found a table casually, paid the deposit with one hand, and wrote down the name, address, and quantity with the other.

    After half-hour, the guests dispersed.

    The evening wind dried the ink on the paper, and Ji Weicai folded the paper full of words and hid it in his chest.

    It was also deep, Lu Zhanhong retained the two to stay in the accommodation.

    However, there were many guests in the Lu family tonight, so Ji Wei thought about not staying to disturb him, so he took Liu Yimian and rode an ox cart all the way home.

    Although this day was so busy and tired that it didn't stop like a spinning top, as long as he thought of the enthusiastic response tonight and a bag full of heavy deposits, Ji Wei felt that busy and tired was nothing.

    "I heard from a lot of people that they want to buy snowskin mooncakes." Liu Yimian didn't like many people.

    I heard many onlookers chatting and saying that they were going to Zhangjia Cake Shop to buy moon cakes. Only then did know that after "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" just now, there was such a period of tasting.

    Needless to say, it must be Ji Wei's idea again.

    "Yeah, I deliberately let the guys from Zhangjia Bakery join the crowd. Find an opportunity and do some publicity by the way." Ji Wei smiled, obviously very proud of it.

    "Do some publicity?" Liu Yimian couldn't help laughing, "Brother Ji is so humble, the bakery guys are going to be busy these days."

    "Isn't it me who was busy first?" The bakery had to rely on Ji Wei to deliver moon cakes.

    Zhao Hu has already selected the candidate, and he is waiting for Ji Wei to come down and decide on the candidate.

    Tomorrow waits for people to settle down, and then they can start making moon cakes.

    Chapter 65

    In order not to delay the construction period, Ji Wei was already standing at the door of the shop on North Street in the early morning of the next day, greeting many interview workers who came here.

    Those workers are from all over the world. have long heard that Ji Wei's wages are high here. For the same hours, he earns twice as much as other places. It's not good to be jealous, but it just didn't recruit any more people.

    This time Zhao Hu said something, and many eager people rushed over to sign up.

    Zhao Hu sifted out half of the thin man with a bad reputation, and there are still sixteen or seventeen who came to Ji Wei today.

    Working all year round, it looks fierce, dark and strong, and it goes without saying that it can endure hardship.

    As soon as he arrived at the store, Ji Wei divided the people into six groups according to the Cantonese-style cake skin, snow skin and four kinds of fillings.

    Work in groups of two to three people.

    These people have never touched moon cakes, even if Ji Wei separates the steps, it is difficult to handle.

    Ji Wei couldn't, he could only shuttle back and forth between the six groups, and he had to read each step before proceeding to the next step, so as to avoid a lot of raw materials being wasted due to mistakes.

    In addition to making eight different mooncakes, Nie Junqi also sent a custom-made wrapping paper.

    The printing workshop is only responsible for printing, not assembly.

    After delivery to Beijie, someone needs to fold the wrapping paper into a box shape, and then stick it with glue to wrap the mooncakes.

    Even if all the butter workers are sent over to make moon cakes, there are not enough manpower, and there is no surplus.

    Two different kinds of mooncakes are in full swing in the backyard. In order to prevent someone from stealing the craft, Ji Wei broke up several groups and mixed them on both sides of the yard.

    Compared with the precise Cantonese-style mooncakes, snowskin mooncakes are much simpler.

    All you need is a lot of glutinous rice flour and sucrose, mixed well, steamed in a pot, and then placed in a well to refrigerate. The next day, workers will wrap the filling and press it into a moon cake shape with a moon cake mold.

    As the workers became more and more skilled, from the second day onwards, snowskin mooncakes were produced at a rate of three or four hundred pieces per day. Another Zhang family sent people to take away snowskin mooncakes one by one.

    Although Zhangjia Cake Shop has opened branches in several nearby towns. It's just that this business is the best, and the largest supply is Daxi Town.

    Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet made many people feel unbearable and couldn't wait to come to her door. But because Ji Wei hasn't delivered to his door yet, he can only return empty-handed.

    As for other nearby towns, except for students, most ordinary people don't know what moon cakes are.

    Therefore, Ji Wei's shipment pressure is not too great.

    What really bothered him was the order for Cantonese-style mooncakes.

    Snowskin mooncakes are simple and allow workers to operate by themselves. But the operation of Cantonese-style moon cakes is relatively complicated and precise, and he must do it himself.

    In front of the house, the four purposely built bread kilns opened fire at the same time, and they could only bake forty moon cakes at a time.

    Repeatedly baking seven or eight ovens a day, and running back and forth between six groups to control the quality, Ji Wei was so busy that he lost his head and fell asleep after taking a shower every night.

    After working in such a dark and dark manner for three days, finally drove out all the orders.

    After the Cantonese-style moon cakes are made, the cake skin group is completely liberated.

    Before he could take a few breaths of relief, he was called to pack the mooncakes again. More than 100 boxes of mooncake orders were packed, and it took an hour or two to prepare them all.
