Chapter 134: Willing to Gamble and Lose
The seller of rock sugar gourds has indeed made rock sugar gourds for more than 20 years, and his sugar gourds actually can't earn a few dollars, and the cost of a sugar gourd is seven cents, so he earns some hard money.
There are not many people in Nanhe Town, he can sell forty or fifty sticks a day, even if the sales are bursting, he usually only makes thirty or forty sticks a day, and after selling, he has to do other handymen, otherwise the family will really not be able to make ends meet.
The people around were also watching the excitement, but now there is a big man who is willing to pay for them to taste it, and of course they are happy to agree.
There are a total of 40 sugar gourds made by Tang Laosan, and several children of Lao Wangtou's family don't know the current market, so they brought a total of 50.
After dividing 40 people on one side, the extra ten were handed over to the son, and the servant of the son held ten sugar gourds in his hands, and his mood was very complicated.
If the master knows that the son is spending money so indiscriminately again, the master may not blame the son at that time, but he will inevitably suffer a meal.
Hey, didn't he just take his son out to find food? How did you get to this point?
The people who live in Nanhe Town have basically eaten the sugar gourd made by Tang Laosan and know what his sugar gourd tastes like.
The outside is a thin layer of sugar, licking your mouth, and the inside is a very sour hawthorn, knowing that the back is a mouth full of sourness.
Adults don't like it very much, but kids do.
Now for the sake of selection, some people choose to eat Donald Laosan's sugar gourd first, and they are soon distorted by the sour face.
Then they went to eat Lao Wang's sugar gourd, which was ready to be soured, but the taste was unexpectedly sweet.
The outer layer of sugar coating is thicker than Tang Laosan's, but it doesn't make people feel too heavy, it is just an acceptable amount, bite into the mouth and click, you can clearly feel that the sugar is made of good sugar, and the sweetness is not the same level as Tang Laosan's at all.
Only ate the sugar coating outside, and some knowledgeable people already said in their hearts: "No wonder people sell three pennies a piece, just this cost, it is estimated that it will cost two cents, very sweet sugar and ordinary sugar, the price is not only doubled, and sometimes you can't buy it even if you have money." ”
But the three pennies, which are only wrapped in wild fruits, are indeed too expensive.
When these people ate the wild fruit inside, they also completely changed their opinion.
The taste of the wild fruit is a little similar to that of hawthorn, a little rustling, with a very imperceptible fruit acidity, but in fact, the entrance is very sweet, this sweetness is very different from the sweetness of the outer sugar coating, the outer sugar coating is pure sweet, and the wild fruit inside is a kind of sweetness after the fruit tree is ripe.
It's a little crispy, a little sandy, plus the seeds inside are edible, and when you bite into it, the juice bursts in your mouth, and the sweetness makes people feel happy.
I don't feel very sluggish.
There are also some people who eat Lao Wang's rock sugar gourd first, and after eating one, they want to eat the second one, and there are only six on a bunch, and they are still unsatisfied at the end.
I feel that eating such a string of sugar gourds is more comfortable than drinking a bowl of sugar water, and my originally somewhat tired body has a little strength.
Because we do things all year round and rarely eat enough, we have always been short of sugar, but when you feel very tired, you will feel that you have regained your strength when you drink a bowl of sugar water, which is actually because of the sugar supplement.
Now that I have eaten a string of sugar gourds, although there will be a feeling of dryness in my mouth, the body's reaction is positive.
After eating this string of sugar gourds, go to eat Tang Laosan's rock sugar gourd, it will be really sour teeth that will fall out.
The sugar coating on the outside of Donald Laosan's rock sugar gourd is particularly thin and crispy, and even if you lick it more, it will be gone, and you used to think that this thin sugar coating tasted unique, but after the comparison, there will be a sense of "it is really a cheaper sugar gourd" in my heart.
And the hawthorn in the rock sugar gourd is really sour, and after the sugar coating is eaten, the hawthorn can't be eaten at all.
If you let the children eat it, they will be able to swallow it.
When these people were eating sugar gourds, Xiao Ayu also went to see their expressions in front of them.
The little guy was afraid that these adults would not be able to speak, so he told him very seriously: "You don't bully us that we are new, we will come often in the future, if it is delicious, it will be delicious, if it is not delicious, it will not be delicious, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
When everyone saw the appearance of the little adult, they couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Childe smiled: "How is it?" Which one do you think is better? ”
Everyone was a little hesitant, especially some residents who lived in Nanhe Town, and they and Tang Laosan looked up and didn't look down. But what is said is to offend men.
Looking at the hesitation of these people, Gongzi showed an expression that seemed to be smiling: "The little sister has just said, if it is delicious, it will be delicious, and if it is not delicious, it will not be delicious. ”
In fact, without them saying, the answer is already obvious.
Tang Laosan's face also turned red, he knew that everyone didn't say the answer, in fact, it was to take care of his face, but in this way, there was not much face left for him.
"Who's better, you say? I don't believe it, what they make can be better than what I make! ”
In order to learn rock sugar gourd, Tang Laosan also went to the county town to worship a master, so he learned how to make sweet rock sugar gourd with the least amount of sugar, and even how to plant hawthorn trees was also specially learned.
Gongzi simply took out a sugar gourd from the servant's hand and handed it to Donald San: "Why don't you taste it yourself?" ”
Tang Laosan also wanted to know the answer, so he took the rock sugar gourd, and without saying a word, he took a bite of it.
Quack!
The icing shattered in his mouth.
Tang Laosan's expression froze, and he scolded in his heart: dare to use so much sugar, and it is so sweet, no wonder everyone thinks they are more delicious.
Hmph, obviously my own skills are not at home, and I can't make the sugar coating thin and crispy, this is simply a victory!
But when he bit the wild fruit inside, the whole person's expression was wrong.
No, this wild fruit obviously doesn't taste like this!
When he first made rock sugar gourd, Tang Laosan also went to inspect other fruits, and finally found that only hawthorn made the best effect.
But why, this wild fruit can actually make such a sweet but not greasy sugar gourd?!
It's completely impossible!
How could such fruit exist?
Tang Laosan's eyes looked at the children's stalls, the thatched mats on the stalls, and the red wild fruits, all of which were extraordinarily large.
Obviously, they made it from this wild fruit.
Childe opened the fan again, took a good time, and looked at Tang Laosan, "How is it?" Do you feel like you've won or lost now? ”
The muscles on Tang Laosan's face trembled, and he wanted to say that his sugar gourd was the best, but how could he say it against his will.
"It's me who loses." Tang Laosan gritted his teeth, "I, Tang Laosan, am willing to lose the bet!" ”
After saying that, he lay directly on the ground, intending to crawl upside down.
