"Big sister, this bean is so sweet, so cold, and so delicious." Xiaohu stuffed a mouthful full of almond tofu and said vaguely, "Strange, how is it different from the bean hu you usually eat, there is an indescribable fragrance." ”

Fu Duozhi on the side didn't speak, he couldn't stop after taking a bite, and finished eating a palm-sized piece of almond tofu in a few clicks.

"Ahh Fu Duozhi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Cool! ”

It's no wonder that Fu Duozhi is in such a hurry to finish his almond tofu, but this thing is really too much for his appetite, cold and cold, delicate and tender, with just the right amount of sweetness, and even more faintly revealing an indescribable taste, like milk, taste carefully, but not like it.

Although the shaved ice sold in Sweet Island is also delicious, because it is too cold, if you eat it quickly, you will inevitably get a headache from the ice, not to mention that Fu Duozhi is already old, and he doesn't dare to eat more of the kind of things that are so cold that he can only buy a bowl to reduce the heat when it is the hottest.

But this is not tofu, the tofu is just the right amount of cold, and Fu Duozhi feels that even if he eats ten servings in a row, he will not have any discomfort in his body.

"Miss Yan'er, you're right, this is indeed not tofu, I didn't taste any beans from it." Fu Duozhi looked curious, "From the outside, this is exactly the same as tofu." What the hell is this made of, and why is there a flavor that I haven't even tasted? ”

It's no wonder that Fu Duo has this question, after all, he has been out for many years, and he has opened a Ruyi Zhai that gathers the world's delicacies, and the things he has eaten are far from being comparable to ordinary people, since even he has never eaten this taste, it shows that this thing is indeed rare.

"Uncle Fu, didn't I tell you before?" Xia Yan smiled, "I used cauliflower and almonds." ”

"With what?" Hearing her say this, not only Fu Duozhi, but even Xiaohu, who was eating on the side, stopped in surprise, and the two of them widened their eyes in unison, "Stone cauliflower?" Almond? ”

"Big sister, you're not lying to us, are you?" Xiaohu looked incredulous, "How ugly things like stone cauliflower can make such beautiful tofu?" Also, I've eaten almonds, and although the tofu has a slight almond flavor, I guess it's definitely not made with almonds, because it doesn't have the bitterness that makes people feel unpalatable. Big sister, did you use something that tastes like almonds? ”

"Whether it's almonds or not, you can ask Uncle Fu to know." Xia Yan didn't explain much, just said casually.

"Xiaohu, Miss Yan'er is right." Fu Duozhi sighed, although he didn't believe that almonds could make such a delicious thing, but the facts were in front of him, he had to believe it, which could also explain why there was the aroma of almonds in it, "Before, she asked me to get dozens of catties of almonds, I'm afraid they are used to make tofu." ”

"But Miss Yan'er." Fu Duozhi looked at Xia Yan with a puzzled expression, "That stone cauliflower is purple-red, why can you make milky white tofu?" And although this tofu has the taste of almonds, it is definitely not the almonds we usually eat. I know you're using sweet almonds, but it's not just almonds, isn't it that kind of flavor I haven't tasted is cauliflower? ”

"Uncle Fu, didn't I write you a recipe for making stone cauliflower, didn't you let Zhao Er make it for you?" Xia Yan didn't answer Fu Duozhi's question, but looked at him suspiciously, "If you've eaten cauliflower, you won't ask this kind of question." ”

"Ahem." Fu Duozhi's face suddenly turned red, and he cleared his throat in embarrassment, "I won't tell you, I really haven't eaten that stone cauliflower yet, because ...... Because ......"

Before he could say why, Xia Yan guessed it and said with a smile: "Could it be that you don't dare to eat them because you think they are too ugly?" ”

"Ahem, ahem." Fu Duozhi's face turned even redder, "No, no, as the shopkeeper of Ruyi Zhai, how could I not dare to taste the food because of the poor quality of the food, I haven't eaten it just because I'm too busy and haven't taken care of it, really, well, really." ”

This seemed to be explaining to Xia Yan, but it was like comforting herself, Xia Yan just smiled, and didn't complain about him, whether she wanted to eat or not was Fu Duo's freedom, and she didn't want to force him.

"Uncle Fu, I have cauliflower, almonds, milk, cream and sugar in it. The kind of taste you said that you haven't tasted is probably cream. Xia Yan smiled, "I can only tell you so much, the rest is a trade secret, and I have nothing to consider." ”

"Miss Yan'er, I've heard of stone cauliflower, almonds, milk, and sugar, but what is cream?" Fu Duozhi looked confused and full of helplessness, he had traveled south and north for many years, and he had already seen countless ingredients, but his rich experience didn't play a role in Xia Yan every time, but he often saw things he had never heard of here in her, how could he not be depressed.

He is the big shopkeeper of Ruyi Zhai, and he is the chief steward of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce in Qin County, why doesn't he know as much as a little girl?

"Cream...... Cream is a good thing. Xia Yan suddenly said this, and there was no follow-up.

"I know it's good stuff, and then what?" Fu Duozhi's appetite was hung up, and he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly asked.

"And then, and then there was no then." Xia Yan grinned, "Trade secrets, no comment." ”

Trade secrets, and trade secrets, Fu Duozhi simply hates this word, hearing her say this before, although she is very curious, but she can also suppress the desire to explore in her heart, but when it comes to eating, it is like someone is tickling him, making him sit still.

"Yan'er, how can you tell me?" Fu Duozhi looked at Xia Yan with great sincerity, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree." ”

"Uncle Fu, do you really want to know?" Seeing Fu Duozhi's anxious appearance, Xia Yan suddenly had an idea, and smiled slyly, "It's not impossible to tell you." As long as you promise me to leave the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce and join my sweet island, I will never hide anything from you anymore. ”

"This ......" Fu Duozhi hesitated, he was ready to go bankrupt, but he didn't expect Xia Yan to propose this kind of condition, which really embarrassed him, "Yan'er, can you change a condition, even if you let me exchange all my family property for me, I am willing, but it is really difficult for a strong person to leave the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce." ”

Xia Yan didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head, but there was a hint of firmness in his eyes.

"Oh, that's it." Fu Duozhi sighed, "Since that's the case, then I won't ask what the cream is." ”

The choice of paying more is completely expected by Xia Yan.

Although her business is developing well, compared with the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, which has developed rapidly and become stronger and stronger in recent years, it is still a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning.

Xia Yan already knew the answer, but he still had the intention of giving it a try, in case he poached someone, although this Fu Duozhi stayed in Yunwu Town before, but before going there, he had been operating in Qin County for many years, and he had more experience in business than Xia Yan, with his help, her sweet island would definitely develop faster.

Although he didn't help himself before, after all, he was still a member of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, and everything was built without damaging the interests of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, but since they stole their own orange seedlings privately, the image of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce had already collapsed in Xia Yan's heart, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find other channels for cooperation, Xia Yan would have cut off contact with them a long time ago.

Although they are still cooperating now, they are only limited to oranges, and as for other things, Xia Yan will definitely not choose to hand them over to the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce.

So it was a matter of time before he broke with the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, and at that time he didn't know how Fu Duozhi would choose, Xia Yan really didn't want to waste such a talent, so he temporarily came up with this condition, but he didn't agree, Xia Yan had to secretly say a pity in his heart, and let him go.

What Xia Yan didn't know was that she was not the only one who secretly said pity in her heart.

Although Fu Duozhi rejected Xia Yan, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, he had a hunch, according to this momentum of development, Xia Yan would definitely have the strength to stand side by side with the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce in less than twenty years, she was only twelve years old now, even if it was another twenty years, she would only be in her early thirties.

Twenty years of development is enough to turn the industry in her hands into a behemoth that people look up to.

Not only will you not suffer a loss when working under her, but you will be exposed to many things that you have never seen before, so why not?

The reason why he didn't agree was by no means what Xia Yan guessed, but because the previous president of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, that is, Xu Yichen's grandfather, specially instructed himself before his death to assist the future president to take care of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce.

Although he was assigned to such a remote place because of the failure of the factional struggle in the Chamber of Commerce, his heart is still firmly tied to the Chamber of Commerce, after all, the elder has a great favor to him, and he must not be an ungrateful person.

He had already sworn in front of the old president that as long as the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce did not abandon him, he would always be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Knowing that he no longer had the possibility of knowing what cream was, Fu Duozhi didn't ask any more, changed the topic lightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan'er, you should have a name for this dessert, right?" ”

Xia Yan also tacitly stopped mentioning the previous matter, and smiled: "I call it almond tofu." ”

"Almond tofu." Fu Duozhi nodded, "Although this name is simple, it is also appropriate, it is good, good, hahaha." ”

"Uncle Fu praised it falsely." Xia Yan also laughed.

Xiaohu on the side looked at the two of them suddenly looking happy, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for them.

The topic turned a little too stiff, and even he, who was watching from the sidelines, felt embarrassed, and he didn't know what the two parties thought, didn't their faces blush?

Xiaohu observed carefully and found that they were indeed chatting casually as if nothing had happened, and could only praise in his heart: "The eldest sister, worthy of being the eldest sister, really has the bearing of a landslide in front of the unchanging color." ”

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: these two people are really thick-skinned.
