Chapter 123: Candy
Chapter 123: Candy
August 15. //..
The Mid-Autumn Festival should be a day of family reunion.
Mu Yanzhao knelt upright beside the table, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and generously wiped the crystal tears oozing out of the corners of his eyes.
On the table, there is a very fine vermilion food box, which is neatly arranged with three layers of candy. The candies are wrapped in colorful paper and come in a variety of colors to look very eye-catching.
Mu Yanzhao obviously likes to eat very much, and he has eaten a lot, which can be seen from the dozen or so pieces of candy paper placed next to the food box.
But at this moment, when he took it, he hesitated a little more, and it took a long time before he swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth, and hesitantly picked up another candy, peeled it off, closed his eyes, and stuffed it in his mouth - "Well, it tastes like grapes, it's delicious!" ”
The wonderful fruity aroma and tempting sweetness made Mu Yanzhao extremely satisfied, his entire eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and his whole face showed an expression of great enjoyment.
"Oh, if every one of them were so delicious, how nice it would be!" The Seventh Prince couldn't help but sigh.
Ou He looked at Mu Qigongzi's tangled little eyes with a smile, and he was also curious, so he reached out and picked one up from the food box, stuffed it in his mouth and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction: "...... It seems to be made of cow's milk, and it is delicious. ”
Mu Yanzhao puffed out his face, slapped Ou He's hand away, closed the lid of the food box, and carefully put the box away.
Ou He couldn't cry and laughed: "Isn't it just a new candy from Yipinzhai, you are not a child, as for being so stingy!" ”
Recently, Yipinzhai has produced a lot of new candies, at least to please children, and it is famous.
In fact. At first, Gu Wan felt that it was a bit out of place to think about candy or something now, after all, there were frequent wars outside. Ordinary people can't even eat, and candy is too luxurious for most people. It's just that I didn't expect that Yipinzhai's business was not affected by the war, and the business was getting bigger and bigger - those big families didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, and the luxury goods they should enjoy were never less than a penny, and the most high-end pastries and candies in Yipinzhai were not only not worried about sales. On the contrary, it sold better than ordinary ones, which really surprised Gu Wan.
If you have money and don't make money, let it go in vain, but it's not Gu Wan's style, so she simply recruited a few more dim sum chefs. I turned out a few more candy recipes, and made them in a variety of ways to 'cheat' the silver. Forrest gump
In the beginning, the new candies were just a variety of fruits, milk, mint, and other general flavors, and a lot of effort was put into the packaging, and the various flavors of candy were made into different styles. Round, star-shaped, butterfly, flowery, and even red-hearted, all of the same type are put together. There are some labels with different words, all kinds of blessings, words of praise, and so on.
As a result, the beautiful packaging is very attractive to children, and even some young boys and girls also buy and give each other away, Gu Wan found it interesting, and discussed with Wang Mei a few times, and made a lot of candy suitable for adult men and women, elderly men and women, just according to the degree of sweetness, it is divided into five categories, not to mention other tricks.
If the sweets and sweets in Yipinjae were monotonous at first, now there are enough varieties for a customer to enjoy different flavors all year round.
Yipinzhai's candy is made, Gu Wan is usually to give it to familiar friends to taste, like Chen County Lord, it doesn't matter if you don't particularly like sweets, just try it, to the Mu family's Baniang Rulan, it is the age of liking sweets, as soon as she tastes the desserts of Yipinzhai, it is like seeing a fishy kitten, she has to eat a lot of it every day, it's just addictive, and she doesn't have enough at all.
Gu Wan was startled when she saw that this little girl had gained more than ten catties in a month, and she had become fleshy and round, and then saw that she ate candy, eating so fiercely, she finally knew why Mu Yanzhao liked sweets so much, and after making trouble for a long time, it was simply the genetics of the Mu family, and the people of the Mu family were probably fond of sweets.
Seeing Mu Rulan eat candy as a meal, Gu Wan was a little worried that she would lose her teeth, but she could say a few words, the little girl didn't take it seriously at all, Gu Wan was angry, and asked Wang Mei to help make a bunch of weird 'candy', what spicy, bitter, stinky tofu, sour, anyway, what strange taste made her come out.
Sometimes Gu Wan admires herself, you know, this is not the future twenty-first century, in such a backward era, even with the help of all kinds of recipes in the pocket store, it is extremely rare to be able to make so many strange flavorings by hand!
A bunch of strange-flavored candies, mixed with the candy with normal taste, were sent to Mu Rulan, and sure enough, Mu Banniang let Gu Wan rectify the tears, and after more than ten days, she was worried when she saw the candy.
However, Gu Wan thought of the beginning, but didn't expect the end.
Many people heard that Gu Wan had this kind of strange candy, and they were actually curious, knowing that it was a crime, they couldn't help but want to taste it, and even Chen Wenrou asked Gu Wan for some.
Gu Wan couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to ask Wang Mei to try her best to make the weird smell so that she couldn't eat it, just stimulate it a little, the stimulation was too great, and she was worried that her master wouldn't be able to stand it.
What happened to Chen Wenrou after eating these candies, Gu Wan didn't know, anyway, she only knew that several times when guests visited her master, they all came out with red eyes, and later, there were rumors in Yazhou that if anyone eats the dim sum of Lord Chen's house and can not lose his temper from beginning to end, then he is either a lucky person, or he has strong willpower!
Rumors spread, the guests of the lord of Chen County actually did not decrease but increased, many people wanted to try their luck, and there were some lively personalities, especially preferring to see other people's jokes, every time I saw others eat spicy, choking taste, and tears, they will be secretly refreshed, with a big heart, even if they eat special, it is also a wonderful experience.
Don't look at Chen Wenrou, who doesn't like sweets very much, but she likes this feeling of surprise or fright, and actually asks Gu Wan to use her brains more and make more flavors.
After the propaganda of Lord Chen and her group of inexplicable guests, someone actually went to 'Yipinzhai' to order special weird candy.
Wang Mei and Wang Gang, sisters and brothers, have experienced all these years, and their business vision has improved a lot, and as soon as they see that there is a market, they simply package the candy that Gu Wan made out of the prank, mix it with normal candy and sell it, and make a series of special ones, they will eat normal candy, or taste strange tastes, it all depends on luck.
Although this thing doesn't sell as well as ordinary candies, it actually sells a lot.
Gu Wan really underestimated people's tolerance for eating and curiosity.
Of all the odd sweets, the mustard flavor was the highest rated by the guests, and some people were even looking forward to eating it. Many people say that when they first tasted it, it really made people cry, but after a few attempts, they were addicted to eating too much, and they didn't feel so unpalatable.
Although Gu Wan didn't understand much about these people's thoughts, she couldn't stop her from happily counting the money. Speaking of which, the Gu family can be regarded as a big business now, not to mention the businesses that are jointly done with the Mu family, that is, their own grange and shop, and the annual income is enough for their brothers and sisters to spend for decades, carefully calculated, Gu Wan can't help but be speechless, even if the family's business cannot be compared with those big families and big wealthy businessmen who have mastered the salt and grain business, but compared with ordinary families, it is not much inferior.
The family has accumulated a lot of wealth from generation to generation, but most of them are dead things, such as antiques, houses, books, etc., and besides, the family stretches for several generations and has a large population.
