Chapter 176: Candy Comes Out
Uncle Yunhai is responsible for building a house, and Yunyi doesn't have to worry too much.
He only needs to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of food and that his wages are fully settled, and he can count the days and wait for the new house to be capped.
After Uncle Tang became familiar with the process of distilling liquor, the output gradually increased.
It's just that because of the urging of the fat man, Uncle Cousin is now busy with Hot Wheels, and he walks with the wind.
As the flowering period of osmanthus gradually passed, Yunyi could receive fewer and fewer osmanthus flowers.
Later, he simply asked those who picked osmanthus flowers to start picking wild fruits in the mountains.
Since Yunyi had no requirements for the sweetness and sourness of the fruit, he reaped a lot of goodwill.
After making up his mind that day, Yunyi went to the city to customize the utensils needed for the yellow mud water drenching method.
After adopting the new method, Yunyi quickly saved a lot of crystal clear white sugar.
As for the molds used to make the candy, they were all handled by the carpenter's son.
Now the production of the spinning wheel has been handed over to Carpenter Zhang, although he is a little tired, but Carpenter Zhang's family is very grateful to Yunyi.
Although these mold carpenters were reluctant to accept the money, Yunyi still forcibly paid the full amount of money.
After reluctantly accepting Yunyi's money, Carpenter Zhang patted his chest and promised that he would build a sturdy new set of furniture for Yunyi's new home that was about to be built.
After everything was ready, Yunyi called Zhao Chunhua and Shen Youwei to sort, wash, peel, cut and break the harvested fruits.
Yun Yi made a simple set of utensils for separating the juice from the pulp.
Since there were no other utensils at home, Yun Yi simply set up two iron pots.
One of them is used to boil sugar water, while the other is used to boil juice.
After the juice boiled, Yunyi used a scoop made of gourds to slowly pour the boiling sugar water into the juice.
As Shen Youwei stirred slowly, a sweet smell with a fragrance gradually spread.
When the juice with sugar water began to bubble continuously, Yunyi extinguished the fire in the stove, then poured it into the mold and waited for it to cool.
After doing this, the pulp of the fruit juice was stripped away, and Yunyi did not waste half of it.
Although the pulp was more troublesome to handle, Yun Yi patiently stewed the pectin.
And these pectins were all used by Yunyi to make gummies.
After a night of cooling, the candies in the mold finally turn into cubes with natural colors.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, there is no need to worry about these candies melting again.
So Yunyi directly poured all the candy in the mold into the dustpan.
As early as when the sky was just dawning, Xiao Wan'er and a pair of children of Zhao Chunhua's family were already waiting by the mold with their eyes open.
At this time, seeing the colorful candies in the dustpan, several little guys couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Here, let's have a taste."
Seeing that the first time he made candy was so successful, Yunyi was also very happy.
I saw him grab a handful of candy and hand it to a few people around him.
"Brother Yi, it's so sweet!"
As soon as the candy was in its mouth, the eyebrows and eyes of several villains suddenly narrowed.
Even Shen Youwei and Zhao Chunhua all looked incredible.
After distributing the candy to everyone, Yun Yi also took one and put it in his mouth.
Although the taste of these candies, there is also some jam-like sourness.
However, for people like Shen Youwei who have never eaten candy, it is already a rare delicacy in the world.
Hard candies have already made these people so excited, and those gummies are naturally not far off.
Gummies made from the pulp of the fruit not only have the sweetness of the fruit, but also have a bouncy texture.
is just an entrance, and the children of Xiao Wan'er and Zhao Chunhua have been completely conquered.
Shen Youwei never thought that that basket of wild fruits could actually make such delicious and beautiful candy.
For a moment, she almost jumped up happily with Wan'er.
Zhao Chunhua next to her, after the surprise, quickly realized the value of these candies.
Because of her already spicy personality, she didn't twist, but asked directly towards Yun Yi:
"Brother Yi, these candies are better than the pastries in the pastry shops in the city, they should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?"
Regarding Zhao Chunhua's question, Yun Yi did not hide it.
I saw that he first swallowed the candy in his mouth unhurriedly, and then said to Zhao Chunhua with a confident face:
"As you know, the main raw materials of these candies are white sugar and fruits, so the cost is naturally not low."
"But because the candy we make is very successful, the price will naturally be very high."
"In addition to leaving some of these candies for the children to eat, I will take the rest to the plum blossom cottage and Wanjia store to sell."
"Since the cost of our fruits is very low, the profits of these candies are still very considerable."
"For the rest of the year, it's up to you and Vicky to make candy together."
"You don't need to worry about the cost of purchasing raw materials, the profit earned after making candy, you and Youwei will add five, and directly divide it in half."
"In this way, after the winter, your family's life will be much better."
After Yun Yi finished speaking, he stuffed a candy into his mouth again.
In the past, the old people in the family said that if you eat a piece of candy, you can feel the sweetness even if the days are bitter.
"Brother Yi, this method of making candy was originally thought of by you."
"If it weren't for your good head, the fruits in those mountains would all rot in a few days."
"Sister-in-law, I'm just doing you a favor, how can I ask for your money!"
Just when Yun Yi was thinking that these candies would soon be popular in the entire Linjiang County, Zhao Chunhua waved his hand again and again, denying his distribution plan.
Seeing this situation, Yun Yi was not in a hurry, he first distributed some sweets to the children, and then patiently explained to Zhao Chunhua:
"Sister-in-law, there are only two people left in our family now, me and Youwei, but there are a lot of things to do."
"If it weren't for your family's help during this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to accomplish many things, let alone build a house."
"Today's candy-making business, without your participation, there is no way for me and Youwei to continue to do it."
"Since our two families are relatives, you said that we don't ask you for help, who else do we need to help?"
After listening to Yun Yi's explanation, Zhao Chunhua understood Yun Yi's intentions.
She was already spicy, so she didn't continue to shirk, but in the end she was only willing to accept 30% of the profit.
After the candy was successfully made, Yunyi took it directly to the city.
Originally, he was going to hand it over to Su Xiaoxiao and Wan Fatzi to sell at the same time, but he didn't expect that he had just taken it out in the Plum Blossom Cottage, and it was instantly snapped up by the customers inside.
So much so that Yunyi didn't go to Wanjia Goods Store to find Wan Fat, and directly chose to go home.
Although there are many wild fruits in the mountains, due to the process, the production of candy is not very large.
After opening up the sales channel of the Plum Blossom Cottage, Yunyi simply made the candy directly into the exclusive supply of the Plum Blossom Cottage.
After all, he is also a shareholder of Plum Blossom Thatched Cottage, and there is no reason to let Wan Fatzi take a part of the profits.
