(Dear friends, don't forget to collect it!) The practice of this sugar gourd is very practical, you can try to eat ^_^ it)

Zhang Fei was taken aback by Liu Jing's actions, and saw him looking at him with a smile, like a second monk at a loss.

Liu Jing ignored Zhang Fei's questioning, put his face closer to Zhang Fei, and said mysteriously: "What are you eating?" ”

Hearing Liu Jing's question, Zhang Fei's originally hanging heart suddenly let go, and secretly said What should I be doing when you were so surprised, it turned out that you stole a few hawthorns for me, so he sighed and pretended to be relaxed: "Hey, what do I have with you, isn't it just a few hawthorns to eat, it's not a big deal, why are you so serious!" ”

Liu Jing looked at Zhang Fei without regard and continued to ask, "Is hawthorn delicious?" ”

"It's delicious, sour, sweet!"

"Have you ever eaten a rock sugar gourd?"

"What? Rock candy? Calabash? What the hell, I haven't eaten it! Zhang Fei shook his head like a rattle,

"Is there sugar in the house?"

"Yes! Before my family was defeated, but I was a candy seller, of course there was~! ”

"Is there a hawthorn?"

"There are so many on the mountain!"

"Let's go, hurry home, I've figured out a way to make money!" Liu Jing suddenly picked up Zhang Fei and hurriedly ran towards Zhangjiagou.

"Oops, hurt you slowly!" Zhang Fei, who was following Liu Jing, couldn't help but sneer.

Liu Jing grew up in the countryside, and when he was young, he ate 'rock sugar gourd' cutely, which was called 'sugar melon' in his hometown.

At that time, the family was poor and couldn't buy it often, so his parents made a simple 'sugar gourd' for him to eat at home.

Liu Jing vaguely remembered that when he was in school, he accidentally read that this sugar gourd seemed to be a snack that only emerged during the Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that it had not yet been invented at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since hawthorn is so popular here, the 'rock sugar gourd' is also a good project to make money.

returned home, Liu Jing didn't say a word, and mysteriously arranged the work:

Old man Zhang is responsible for cutting bamboo sticks at home according to Liu Jing's requirements, there is a pile of bamboo on the east side of the yard, this material is not lacking in Old Man Zhang's house, Liu Jing told him to prepare sugar, and then make a smooth wooden board, soak it in water, and use it when he comes back.

Liu Jing and Zhang Fei each carried a big basket to the mountains to pick wild hawthorns.

Near noon, Liu Jing and Zhang Fei returned with two baskets of hawthorns, and Old Man Zhang had already cut a bunch of bamboo sticks, and the sugar had already been prepared.

Liu Jing is about to start making 'rock sugar gourd', and he thinks that if he makes this much-praised snack first, it will definitely be an excellent business opportunity.

Liu Jing asked Old Man Zhang to wash a wooden board, which had already been sprinkled with water for cooling sugar gourds, and then came to the firewood room to make a fire, put the raw sugar and water into the pot according to the ratio of 2:1, and boiled it over the fire.

Zhang Fei and Old Man Zhang were wearing hawthorns on the side, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Jing who was boiling sugar there with a suspicious look, and secretly said What is this kid doing? I said that I got a thing called 'rock sugar gourd' for myself, but I don't know what it is, why do you make hawthorn and sugar?

And the old man Zhang obediently skewered the hawthorn according to Liu Jing's instructions, he was full of curiosity about Liu Jing's approach, he expected that Liu Jing was a child of a big family after all, he ate a lot of knowledge, and he wanted to see what delicious food Liu Jing could make.

After boiling the sugar for about two quarters of an hour, I saw that the water in the pot had become very small, and the sugar had boiled very much, and small and fine bubbles appeared, and it became very viscous.

Liu Jing picked up a chopstick, dipped it in the sugar, then pulled up a long thread, then extinguished the fire in the stove, walked straight to Zhang Fei, picked up a string of hawthorn and walked to the pot.

He carefully pinched the end of the hawthorn string with both hands, slowly rolling on the surface of the sugar, letting the sticky candy slowly roll up the hawthorn, and after a while, a semi-finished product came out of the pot.

Due to the first time to make sugar gourds, Liu Jing had no experience, and the sugar was not rolled evenly, and then Li Jing put the hawthorn skewers on the water board to cool them, while Zhang Fei and Old Man Zhang had already stopped what they were doing, and followed Liu Jing's ass to watch his every move carefully.

Now the three of them, six eyes are staring intently at the hawthorn skewers on the water board, the hawthorn skewers have already come to the scent of sugar, Zhang Fei licked his lips unnaturally, looking forward to the arrival of the delicious.

Liu Jing took the first 'sugar gourd' in his right hand and put it to his nose and sniffed it, and then a burst of sweet fragrance entered his heart, and he glanced at Zhang Fei happily.

Although the sugar at this time is not as pure as the sugar in the Chinese Dynasty, it is still sweet, and the jaggery is also sugar after all, and the sugar gourd made is not as delicious as that of later generations, but at this time, it is also a must.

Zhang Fei is still a child at this moment after all, she has long been drooling greedily, staring directly at the sugar gourd in Liu Jing's hand with that urgent eye, as if she can't wait to take a bite.

Liu Jing smiled slightly, raised the 'sugar gourd' and handed it to Zhang Fei, and said heartily: "No, this is a delicious meal that my chef specially made for me, I don't know what it tastes like when I make it for the first time, let's try it for you first!" ”

Zhang Fei snatched it away without waiting for Liu Jing to finish, and couldn't wait to bite off a hawthorn, chewing it slowly in his mouth, and at the same time his eyes rolled, experiencing the taste of Liu's 'sugar gourd'.

The first hawthorn was swallowed by Zhang Fei, and while she spit out the hawthorn core, she not only sighed secretly: "Well, it's so delicious, sweet and sour like a pear!" ”

Sydney pear is the best fruit that this country girl has ever eaten, and the rural people are poor, so they can only eat the wild fruits on the mountain, and she is naturally not blessed to enjoy those better fruits.

Liu Jing didn't say a word when he saw that Zhang Fei was enjoying himself so much, so he continued to make sugar gourds, and at the same time he instructed Old Man Zhang to get a thick and long stick, and wrap several layers of mat grass tightly on the outside for later use.

Zhang Laohan had long been shocked by Zhang Fei's expression of eating 'sugar gourd', and secretly sighed that this rich child's child was really good at making it, and he was able to make such a delicious product, so he admired Liu Jing even more.

Half an hour passed, and Liu Jing inserted the thirty or so strings of sugar gourds he had made one by one on the long stick wrapped in mat grass, and then carried it on his shoulder and said happily: "Fei'er, come with Brother Jing to sell sugar gourds!" ”

Zhang Fei raised the third string of sugar gourds in his hand, and followed Li Jing out of the door, leaving only the old man Zhang standing at the door with a smile and watching the two of them go away.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared that he muttered: "This person is versatile and has good means, if this person is the grandson-in-law of my family, how good it would be!" ”

At the bazaar, Liu Jing made a hole next to the hawthorn seller, inserted a long stick in it, held it with his right hand, and shook his left arm and shouted: "Come and see, the freshly baked 'sugar gourd' is sweet and sour, delicious and delicious, don't miss it when you pass by!" ”

At the same time, the little Zhang Fei also held the string of sugar gourds that he hadn't eaten high, and echoed casually: "Delicious sugar gourds!" Delicious sugar gourd! Delicious, sweet and delicious sugar gourd! ”

A few people from the passing crowd came to ask for the price, and Li Jing immediately stretched out three fingers, because he had learned about the price at that time, three yuan for a large cake, just enough for one person to eat, and the delicious hawthorn he made was only equivalent to one person's meal, and it was not expensive.

But no matter how the two shouted, the passers-by all turned around and left after asking the price, and no one stopped to buy, and half an hour passed, and the two shouted a little dry.

The horse-faced brother who was selling hawthorn at the stall next to him had already looked at the two of them unpleasantly, and when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the two, he couldn't help but pouted and mocked: "What are the two little hairy children, do they know how to do business?" My hawthorn sells for two dollars a catty, more than 30 per catty, and you can sell it for three dollars if you make a broken bamboo string of 6 or 7? Fools are going to buy it! ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be angry when she heard what the horse-faced brother said, and shouted for a long time that there was no harvest, she was already very depressed, can she not catch fire when she is ridiculed by this hawker?

Coupled with the pungent temper of her fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, isn't that anger just coming? Then he was about to open his mouth and curse.

Thanks to Liu Jing's quick eyes and quick hand, he quickly grabbed Zhang Fei, he knows the truth of making money with harmony, if he wants to do business in this market in the future, he will have to offend people less, not to mention that if it weren't for the sale of hawthorn, he wouldn't know that this hawthorn was sold at such a price.

This happened to give Liu Jing a wake-up call, he secretly said that this ancient people are not like the people of the later Chinese Dynasty, they have never eaten this rock sugar gourd, shouting here something they have not eaten, and it is sold so expensive, why should they buy it?

I sell sugar gourds next to this hawthorn for convenience, it seems that I have to lower the price a little, thinking that in order to make money for Old Man Zhang to pay off his debts, I can't take care of long-term fishing, I think I will sell it for a penny first.

The price has come down, and I have to find a way to get the word out. As a salesman, Liu Jing knows the role of advertising.

So how exactly do I spread the word? This selling clothes can try on clothes to know if it fits or not, and if it is not decent, then I can try the food I sell, if they think it is delicious, they are not afraid that he will not buy it.

Liu Jing thought about it in his heart, so he rolled his eyes and pulled Zhang Fei to say a few words in his ear, and Zhang Fei immediately looked at Li Jing with suspicious eyes after hearing this, as if to say, 'Is this okay?' ’

Liu Jing saw Zhang Fei's suspicion, so he nodded confidently, as if to say, 'Don't worry, listen to my brother's right!' ’

Zhang Fei understood, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Delicious sugar gourd, don't need money, try one for free per person, don't eat it for nothing, come quickly!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted out in this voice, and the pedestrians and passers-by who were walking on the street in front of him immediately stopped, turned their heads and looked at Zhang Fei in unison.

A middle-aged man with pockmarked faces and a little chubby squeezed out of the crowd, pointed to the stick with a sugar gourd and said tentatively: "Is this hawthorn really free to eat?" ”

That Zhang Fei wanted to answer, but saw Liu Jing striding forward and stretched out his hands to greet everyone: "I, Liu's 'sugar gourd', first landed in your place, the first day of trial operation, give everyone a chance to try for free, this little brother is so lucky, you are the first customer to try it!" ”

After Liu Jing finished speaking, he took out a bamboo stick, inserted a crystal clear sugar gourd and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stretched out his chubby right hand to take the sugar gourd, looked back and forth, left and right, up and down, and felt that he was just an ordinary hawthorn, but there was nothing special about the transparent thing wrapped on the outside.

Then he put it in front of his nose and sniffed it with his nose, as if to test the color of the gourd.

Everyone stared at the middle-aged man's right hand with wide eyes, and their eyes kept rolling as the middle-aged man moved.

After the middle-aged man finished the examination, under Liu Jing's signal, he slowly put the sugar gourd into his mouth and began to chew.

Even the vendor who bought hawthorn next to him couldn't help but be curious, and stood there staring at the middle-aged man in a daze.

I saw the middle-aged man nodding his head the more he chewed, the more he nodded and chewed faster, as his mouth kept squirming, the corners of his mouth also overflowed a trace of saliva, and ten seconds later, with three or four hawthorn cores spit out of his mouth, and at the same time four words came out of his mouth, "It's so delicious!" ”

With the verification of the first person, there is the second, the third

Soon Liu Jing's sugar gourd became popular, and when the project became popular, the money naturally came, and the debts of Old Man Zhang's family were worry-free.

The first pot of gold was dug up by Liu Jing in this way.

At the end of the month, on one of the busiest streets in the township, a façade house had just been 'renovated', and the signboard of the façade was covered by a big red hijab.

On this day, the sun was shining, the autumn was crisp, the blue sky was like washing, the sky was cloudless, Liu Jing, Old Man Zhang and Zhang Fei stood in front of the façade room, and everyone had Caier on their faces.

Two simple 'firecrackers' three or four meters long split on both sides, and the surrounding area was already surrounded by people waiting to open to buy sugar gourds, and the festive atmosphere permeated the entire street.

Liu Jing held a two-meter-long bamboo pole in his hand, raised it high with his right hand, and picked off the big red colored head, and the five golden characters of 'Liu's sugar gourd' came into view, and the golden light shone on Liu Jing's excited face, as if illuminating his future.

Then, under people's expectations, Liu Jing lit the 'firecrackers', and instantly 'crackling' resounded at both ends of the street.

People couldn't care about the firecrackers, and they poured into the store like a swarm, and Liu Jing hurriedly took Lao Zhang Touer and Fei'er to get busy.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside the door, and I saw a gangster-looking person push away the crowd and break in recklessly.

It wasn't until this person came to the board that Liu Jing saw his face clearly.

I saw that this person was seven feet tall and five, with a slender national face, Danfeng eyes and heavy silkworm eyebrows, a purple shirt in green clothes with a belt around his waist, and his face was sharp and angular, and his age seemed to be not very old, just in his twenties.

The man arrogantly raised his head, squinted at the ceiling and said, "Whose house is this wild shop?" I didn't put a name on our booklet, because I wanted to set a precedent and eat alone? ”
