Chapter 300: Packaging Matters
This work is not difficult for Xiaowei, the two hands are well matched, the scraper is flat, with the level of his bricklayer, the direct wipe can be smoothed, the difficulty is the design and production of the flower shape after hanging the noodles.
After applying the cream, Xiaowei thought for a while, began to make flowers, took the piping bag and flower stick, and slowly squeezed the petals, the flowers on the cream cake were squeezed out one by one, and the flower shape was all controlled by hand, from the bud to the blooming form.
Li Wenjiao gestured on the side and said: "If you want to make a good flower shape, what period of flower do you want to make, how big it needs to be, that is, how many petals, and then you want to imagine what the flower looks like at the top of the flower stick." The strength should be even, the speed should be faster, and if the flower shape is ugly, the petals will be very thick. The upper part of the mouth of the flower bud should be turned outward, the mouth of the blooming flower should be turned in, the petals inside should be squeezed up and down, the large petals outside should be pulled left and right, and all the petals should have an arc to be beautiful. β
Xiao Wei squeezed it several times and was not satisfied, so he threw the broken petals into the cream basin, and when he finally squeezed out a flower that could be seen, Li Wen pointed to the cream basin with a small mouth and said, "Boss, you put the red in the white cream basin." β
Xiao Wei looked down, but no, he knocked all the squeezed pink cream into the white cream basin, blinked his eyes and turned his head to ask Li Wenjiao: "What's the matter?"
Li Wenjiao smiled and said, "It's okay, you continue to do it, it's already good, it's better to play with it again." β
This thing is a skillful job, the first one is squeezed, and then there is no problem, and soon a dozen flowers, large and small, are placed on the cake, arranged in a wide cluster at the top and narrow at the bottom. Then there is the addition of leaves, this is simple, there is a special leaf-shaped mouth, just point on it, Li Wenjiao said: "Add leaves do not pull flat, lift up, the middle to expand back and forth a few times, the lines that come out are very good-looking, more like the real one." "Xiaowei practiced.
After the leaves were added, Li Wen pointed to the cake and said, "Boss, you didn't lace." β
To make a birthday cake, you generally need to make a circle of lace on the corner of the plane and faΓ§ade, which looks plump and good-looking, and can also hide the traces of the spatula.
Xiao Wei shook his head, looked for it on the operating table, and said to Li Wenjiao: "What is the use of that very thin silk to squeeze out?"
Li Wenjiao took a piece of sulfuric acid paper cut into triangles from the side and said, "This, just wrap it in any color you want." Holding the two corners of the sulfuric acid paper in his hands, one long and one short, he said, "In this way, go around the middle." "The sulfuric acid paper turned into an inverted cone-shaped cylinder in the hand.
Xiao Wei took the sulfuric acid paper, learned to make it a few times, and finally made a qualified cone, packed the green cream into it and wrapped it tightly, used scissors to make a small hole in the tip below, and then tried it, and when he squeezed it, a thin green silk thread sprayed out. Then Xiaowei added vines and hanging edges to the cake with green silk threads, and Li Wen clapped his hands and shouted: "Wow, boss, you are really amazing, good-looking." β
In the end, Xiao Wei used red fruit to occupy the blank space on the cake surface and wrote the words "Xiao Li Wen is a puppy", Li Wenjiao smiled and said: "The words are beautiful, better than what I wrote, boss, you are very suitable for this, your hands are very steady." β
Coco Li pouted and said, "The boss is a big villain, and Master Li is also a big villain." β
Xiao Wei and Li Wenjiao laughed together, Xiao Wei put down the tool and wiped his hands and said, "Okay, take it and eat it." β
Coco Li cheered, carefully picked up the cake and went out to the other side of the hotel, although she is now working here, she still has nothing to do and drills into the hotel, it is a little pistachio.
Li Wenjiao helped Xiaowei pack up the tools together, and said: "Boss, you can top the store by yourself now, it's really powerful, and the fast hands you learn are also stable, which is very suitable for this." β
Xiaowei smiled and asked, "What else does the store need to fix now?"
Li Wenjiao pointed to the packaging box and said: "This kind of public version produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is really ugly, and it is made of black cardboard, which looks dirty, it is best to replace it, and it is best to customize your own special packaging. He picked up the bottom and lid of the package and said: "You see, the plastic used for the bottom cover is not good, the bottom is very soft, black, the transparency of the lid is not good, there are a lot of pimples, and the obviously very high-end things are much lower grade after they are installed." β
Xiaowei nodded, it really doesn't look good, but there is no way, for the time being, the public packaging sold on the market is like this. He said, "I'll go back to Fengtian in a few days to find out if there is a place to do it, and let's order a batch ourselves." β
Li Wenxing said: "Yes, as long as the packaging factory has a printing machine and a blister machine, it can be processed, and the pattern can be designed." β
Xiaowei said: "Okay, I'll look for it, if it's okay, I'll make our own packaging box according to what you say." As he spoke, he glanced out casually, frowned, walked to the door quickly, looked out along the glass on the door, and saw that the young man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who was making cakes in the Nanhu Market was talking with three men and walked over, pointing at the cake shop and saying something.
Li Wenyi walked over and looked out and asked, "What do you see?"
Xiaowei looked at the back of the Zhejiang guy walking away and said, "It's okay, when I see an acquaintance, I may admit that I am wrong." He shook his head and walked back to the store, but he was a little more worried. When he walked to the edge of the counter, he saw the pink cream he had thrown into the white cream, shook his head, picked up the spoon, and prepared to dig out the pink cream and put it in the powder cream basin.
Li Wenjiao came over and said, "Come, I'll teach you multi-colored flowers, which are very beautiful." β
He made a large cone out of a larger triangular sulfuric acid paper, took scissors and made a mouth on the tip, picked a flower mouth and put it inside, and said, "Look at the side of the flower mouth, and put white on the wide side below." He took the spoon and put it on the side of the conical paper tube, filled half of the white cream, and said, "This is the root of the petals, and then this side, the narrow side, put red, or blue-purple, and this is the edge of the petals." He spooned the pink cream that Xiaowei had misplaced, shaking it firmly.
"It doesn't have to be very even, just install it like this, adjust the direction of a flower mouth, and then squeeze some out like this. He wrapped the conical paper tube with the cream and squeezed it into the pink cream basin, and at first it was pure white, and then gradually pink appeared on the narrow edges, and when the white was about as wide as pink, he stopped and said, "Okay, now it's about the same width, and you can make flowers." β
Picked up the flower stick and squeezed a flower out for Xiaowei to see: "Look, the edge of the petal is pink, the lower it is, the lighter it becomes, and the lower part is white, doesn't it look fresher?"
Li Wenjiao put the flower on the turntable, then made a little transparent fruit, clicked on the petals a few times, added the leaves underneath, and then used the transparent fruit to click on the leaves a few times and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful? It doesn't look like a flower that just bloomed in the morning?"
Xiao Wei looked down and looked carefully, indeed, the flowers that came out of this way gave people the feeling of being fresh and tender.
