"The outer layer of osmanthus sugar should be thin and crispy, the inner sugar core should be made of osmanthus foam and starch sugar powder, and the sesame seeds outside the sugar coating should be made of white sesame seeds......"

Wei Wushuang placed plates of osmanthus candy on the coffee table in the lobby, and everyone gathered around to watch her explain the latest successful osmanthus candy.

The osmanthus candy made completely by hand, one by one the cylindrical osmanthus candy is placed neatly. The sesame seeds wrapped in the sugar color make the osmanthus candy look more appetizing.

In the past, the folk craft candy has always adhered to the production of handicraft workshops, and the local output is not high, but it won the silver medal of the National Food Expo in the 80s, and the local area is very famous. There are many craftsmen who make osmanthus candy, and most of them are family-based workshops.

However, with the great abundance of social materials and the increasing variety of food, the locals do not look down on this traditional food snack. It became increasingly difficult for the family workshop to survive, and eventually gradually declined.

Wei Wushuang's family has been persisting for a long time, in addition to making osmanthus candy, they also make some other traditional pastries, such as wick cakes, Jiaoche and dragon whisker cakes. But the sales are not very good. Especially as young people become more and more healthy and slim down, snacks with high sugar content are becoming less and less popular.

Middle-aged and elderly people like traditional pastries, but because they are old, they can't eat more high-sugar videos, so business can be good, that's a strange thing.

So Wei Wushuang also escaped from his original family in this kind of family background and wanted to make his own style of pastries. Especially making cakes.

Today's osmanthus candy is a new result after she herself made some changes in the traditional method. Everyone is a witness, and they are also the tasters she pulled.

"Whoa—"

With an indelible crisp sound, the osmanthus candy was bitten open. Then the sugar core powder wrapped in the sugar pillar mixed into the mouth with the planned fragrance, with the taste of mint, but it is not as sweet as the traditional osmanthus sugar, that is, it locks the fragrance of osmanthus, the coolness of mint, and the starch sugar powder scattered like fine salt particles.

】

The most important thing is that the crust is bitten in the mouth, it doesn't stick to the teeth, and it's crispy, like a crispy burnt shell.

"Osmanthus mint flavored."

Rong Yu nodded, looking at Wei Wushuang.

"There is also this osmanthus bean paste flavor, osmanthus jasmine flavor, osmanthus white chrysanthemum flavor, osmanthus peony flavor......" Wei Wushuang proudly displayed his various flavors of osmanthus candy.

"And it's all a small amount of maltose powder......"

"No wonder the sweetness is lower than that of white sugar, but it tastes pretty good." Rong Yu tasted another osmanthus bean paste-flavored one, and couldn't help frowning, "This...... It's over, it's good to try a variety of flavors, but it's not good when something like bean paste is mixed in. ”

"I don't think it's good, either." Wei Wushuang nodded, "The kind that will spread out when you bite into it, the bean paste will not be scattered if you wrap it in......"

Rong Yu nodded: "Osmanthus sugar basically can't change, it gathers into sugar, and it will flow like sand when you bite it, this is the most basic essence of osmanthus sugar." Yes, most of them are good. Osmanthus is the basic fragrance, and then various floral powders are added to create different flavors. It's a small step to open up, keep up the good work! ”

"Okay!" Wei Wushuang jumped and looked at the rest of the people proudly, "Let's try it all, it's really good!" ”

"Cut—"

Everyone couldn't help but cut off, turned around and dispersed. Recently, they were pulled by Wei Wushuang to taste these trial products, which made their teeth almost sweet, and they turned around and left, which was not uncommon at all Wei Wushuang's strong recommendation.

Wei Wushuang was not disappointed, he looked at Ning Meng who was staring at her, took out one, put it in her fleshy little hand, and held her fingers one by one: "Taste it well, it's delicious." ”

Ning Meng nodded vigorously, as if he couldn't make Wei Wushuang happy if he didn't nod vigorously. Let Wei Wushuang be happy, will he be able to take two more osmanthus candy? While nodding vigorously, he moved his eyes to the pile of osmanthus candy.

Wei Wushuang nodded, and said with a sense of accomplishment: "Take a few ......"

Ning Meng had already stretched out her hand, intending to take half of it in one hand, but she miscalculated the size of her hand, and in the end there were only three in her hand.

That's it...... You can still hear Rong Yu casually shouting beside him: "Zhou Hui......"

Ning Meng was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she dragged the three osmanthus candies that she had already gotten in her hand, and fled as if she was flying, and she fled far away, and left it in the courtyard behind the art kitchen.

It's just a happy scene on the day before the Spring Festival holiday.

Everyone had a reunion dinner in the evening, and then they were ready for the holidays. The reunion dinner was not only the dishes made by Wang Tiejun and Fan Ran, but also Rong Yu personally cooked three dishes.

Two large tables are set up in the lobby. Each table is filled with drinks and a variety of liquors. The two large tables are full of dishes.

At the main table, Rong Yu sat on the main seat. Fan Ran and Wang Tiejun sat next to Rong Yu on the left and right. Then they started with Wan Qigui, Song Qingshu and Wei Wushuang, most of whom were male employees. At the other table, Nie Xiaoqing and Ma Yan sat in the main seats, and then there was the foreman He Ziying, and they were all female employees.

and everyone else sat down. Everyone looked at Rong Yu. After all, I've been waiting for a year, and at the end of the year, I always have to say something, just like making a summary.

Rong Yu picked up the wine glass, stood up, looked at the two tables of people, and couldn't help but smile: "Last year, when we were celebrating the New Year, we only had one table of people. This year, it's two tables. ”

When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Rong Yu then said: "This shows that Yichu is growing, which is something I hope to see." Development is a good thing, but development may also cause some of us to come and go, and leave and come with new people. ”

"Master, the art chef will always be our home!" Wang Tiejun likes to express his determination when he is emotional. patted his chest and said, "No matter where we are in the future, we will treat Yichu as our home." ”

At the other table, Xu Qian and Wang Baoli lowered their voices and spoke in the vernacular.

"Is Lao Wang really leaving this time? Are you going to go with it? It's on the old art chef's side, the environment is not bad......" Xu Qian said to Wang Baoli, "Both of you are surnamed Wang, and you can't write two Wang characters in one stroke, so you don't take care of you?" ”

Wang Baoli "spitted": "I'm not familiar with Lao Wang, don't be foolish!" ”

The two lowered their voices, but they still provoked He Ziying to stare at the two. Xu Qian stuck out her tongue, grinned, and stopped talking to Wang Baoli.

"After next year, the first branch of Yichu will open, and the head chef of the branch is Lao Wang." Rong Yu nodded at Wang Tiejun, who stood upright after hearing his name beside him, "So this branch is also Lao Wang's store." The name of the restaurant is Tiejun, the king of art kitchens. ”

The crowd applauded.

Lao Wang stood upright, but his face was as if he had drunk wine, red, black and red. raised his hand solemnly, saluted everyone, and turned left and right, facing everyone.

"So after the year, some people will have some changes in their work, of course, first of all, on a voluntary basis. Don't worry about treatment, new and old stores adopt a unified standard. Rong Yu reassured the employees who were a little worried about the possibility of transferring.

"All the work is done in the form of resource mobilization and chef rotation, and voluntary priority is given."

"And ...... We will also increase the training of reserve talents for art chefs, and use this main store as a base ......"

Rong Yu, who usually speaks very simply, said a little too much today. I told you all about the various plans in the store. Originally, it was Nie Xiaoqing who said this, but this time it was said by him.

Until the end, Rong Yu said: "After dinner today, everyone doesn't have to disperse." It's the New Year, divide the money! ”

This sentence fell, and suddenly the cheers like a tsunami swept away the entire art kitchen. No matter how detailed and time-consuming the previous things were, it didn't matter, because the most important words came out of Rong Yu's mouth, which meant that the meal really had meaning.

Everyone is full of feelings for the art chef, but they are not as full of expectations and hopes as the money they send. In fact, all the hard work cannot be quantified only with feelings, and the best quantification is bonuses and salaries.

So this meal is not boring and boring. It's a laugh-and-laugh, and the table is full of laughter, and the pride of the glass is dry.

Especially in the process of eating, when Nie Xiaoqing and Ma Yan personally used a big cart to push a cart full of red bills, this atmosphere reached its peak.

Rong Yu likes to see this kind of joyful picture.

So the delicious food on the dinner table was not very fragrant, and everyone's eyes were looking directly at the stage, eating a mouthful of food, taking a look, and eating a mouthful of food.

So the meal turned into a rush to eat, and everyone tried to tie the food into their stomachs as much as possible, and then began to divide the money when the food was finished. After the process of eating was accelerated, it was only half an hour before the table was cleaned up.

When he cleaned it up and started to send money, Nie Xiaoqing pushed it aside. In the past, Nie Xiaoqing presided over the money, but this time, Ma Yan presided over it.

Rong Yu knew that this was an opportunity for Ma Yan to stand on the platform, so that she would be more authoritative and authoritative in her management in the future. After all, in the simple concept of many employees, whoever manages the money is the boss. Who is the real power.

He Ziying served as an assistant to assist Ma Yan in sending money.

At this time, the night is already brightly lit, and the city is full of bright lights and shining car lights. Rong Yu and Nie Xiaoqing were walking on the street, so they didn't go there to join in the fun, believing that Ma Yan and He Ziying could handle it well.

The two walked side by side, and vaguely heard the sound of cheers coming out of the art kitchen, as well as the strange laughter of Song Qingshu: "I still have so much money...... How long have I been...... Wow......"

"How?" Rong Yu looked at Nie Xiaoqing.

Nie Xiaoqing also looked at Rong Yu, and then smiled: "Isn't this the meaning of our existence?" ”

"Perhaps. But that's not all about me. Rong Yu sighed.

"I know, you're looking for the way!" Nie Xiaoqing smiled, "So far, what have you found?" ”

Rong Yu looked at the night sky, looked at the lights, looked at the sparks, and looked at the weeping willows on the embankment of the black shadow boy in the distance, and the beautiful light shapes dotted on the bridge in the distance.

"I may have found a little bit of insight, but I still have to prove whether I found the Tao or myself!"
