Chapter 153 The new product that is eager for attention ([-])
At this time, Bai Xiaobai just walked out of the kitchen, as if he had timed it right.

After seeing Bai Xiaobai, Chen Shasha asked seriously, "Boss, can I ask you a question about the extremely cool watermelon ice cream?"

Bai Xiaobai was going to go to the bathroom, but when he heard Chen Shasha's serious question, he stopped and said frankly, "It's not worth asking for advice. If you have any questions about the new product, you can just ask. I know everything, and I will definitely tell you everything."

Chen Shasha heard that Bai Xiaobai was so refreshing, so she picked up the empty watermelon shell and asked curiously, "Boss, I want to know why your watermelon ice cream is white?"

Chen Shasha's question caused many customers to gather around.

Chen Shasha's doubts were also their doubts, and all the customers began to talk about it.

"Generally, watermelons are red. Boss Bai's watermelon ice cream is white. It's really strange. Could it be made with some flavoring additives?"

"I also find it strange that even if milk is added to the ice cream, it will still be somewhat red. This ice cream is completely white." A customer questioned in a low voice.

"I believe Boss Bai is a human being, and he will definitely not use those messy things."

"Although I believe it too, I still feel it's weird? Now food hygiene and safety are too serious, no one can tell..."

……

Chen Shasha didn't expect that her question would bring so many doubts to Bai Xiaobai, and she felt a little sorry.

Bai Xiaobai was calm-minded and would not blame Chen Shasha for the customer's doubts.In fact, even if she doesn't ask, someone will always ask in the future, after all, the white watermelon ice cream is really strange.

Bai Xiaobai was very calm and didn't respond for a while, but went back to the kitchen in silence.

What he has to do now is to prove with facts that his new product has no problems, and that it is indeed watermelon juice, not watermelon essence.

After Bai Xiaobai returned to the kitchen, the customers outside started talking again.

"Damn it, Boss Bai isn't just playing on air, he just left without explaining a word?" An uncle customer asked with a puzzled expression.

"Boss Bai deliberately avoids the question, he must be guilty of guilt, is there really something wrong with this ice cream? Does it really use flavoring?" A young man immediately doubted.

The old man who frequented the Xiaobai restaurant said meaningfully, "I think the little master is just going to get things, and he will come out after a while."

The old man just finished speaking.

Bai Xiaobai came out of the glass kitchen with a heavy watermelon in his arms.

He also held a gleaming large kitchen knife in his hand.

Seeing the posture of the little boss holding the knife, several female customers were so frightened that they immediately took a few steps back.

Bai Xiaobai put the emerald green watermelon on the dining table, and said, "This is the watermelon I use to make watermelon ice cream."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaobai cut the watermelon in half with a single knife.

The cut was neat, and not a single drop of watermelon juice spilled onto the table.

What is displayed in front of all customers is watermelon flesh with white flesh and red seeds.

"Damn, what kind of watermelon is this, I've never seen it before." A young man said with a confused expression.

"I've never seen it before. It looks like a hybrid watermelon." An uncle customer asked doubtfully.

"Such a white watermelon, isn't it underripe?" Some customers said that it was an underripe watermelon.

A young man wearing glasses looked at the watermelon carefully, and suddenly realized, "No, you see, the flesh of this melon is snow-white, but the seeds are ruby ​​red. Could this be the red watermelon in snow?"

"Brother, what is red watermelon in snow? Tell me about it." An uncle asked suspiciously.

The young man wearing glasses held his glasses and explained, "This kind of melon is called three white melons, because the flesh is white and the seeds are red, so it is also called Xuelihong watermelon. It is widely planted in Hebei Province and WR County, Shanxi Province. , this kind of melon is very sweet and has high nutritional value, and it was only eaten by the Empress Dowager Cixi in the past."

"Is it true, even Empress Dowager Cixi came out?" A customer expressed doubts.

The young man with glasses continued to explain:
"It's true. This melon used to be a special product tribute in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Around the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, this kind of melon was hybridized in large numbers due to the problem of bee sources. The pure breed was almost extinct. After its establishment, after several generations of unremitting research by agricultural experts, the pure melon seeds of Sanbai melon were preserved. Because this kind of melon has high requirements on the soil, it can be grown in only a few small areas of the country."

In order to show his professionalism, the young man with glasses finally added a sentence:
"I am a graduate of the Agricultural University. I have studied this kind of melon before, and even wrote a graduation thesis! I can't be wrong, that is, Boss Bai's melon is better than the three white melons I have seen before. It seems to be one in a hundred. This melon seed The ruby ​​red is so beautiful. I bought Sanbai melon once at a roadside stall in Hebei Province, and the quality of that melon is not as good as Boss Bai’s, and it costs more than three yuan a catty.”

The young intellectual with glasses had finished what Bai Xiaobai wanted to say, so Bai Xiaobai was happy to stand aside.In his heart, he silently praised the young man's divine assist.

A customer was confused when he heard the three white melons, so he asked Bai Xiaobai casually, "Boss Bai, are you really three white melons? Where did you buy them? I've never seen them in Jianghai City."

Bai Xiaobai had expected that the customer would ask such a question, so he was already prepared to respond.

"My watermelon is indeed a three-white melon. It was ordered by air from my uncle in Hebei Farm. They are all carefully selected top-quality products. The extremely cool watermelon ice cream is made from this kind of watermelon juice , so the ice cream is naturally white."

Bai Xiaobai's words are succinct and to the point. This passage intends to emphasize that the watermelon ice cream is made of snow-red watermelon, so the final product is white. The addition of flavors and the like is completely non-existent.

As for the source of the watermelon, the Hebei farmer's uncle, air transportation, etc., are all nonsense made by Bai Xiaobai.After all, even if you have a girlfriend, you can't talk about the food system, let alone customers.

Knowing that watermelon is very special, some customers still have objections to the price of 666 yuan, or they are worried.

"Boss, I know that your three white melons are very special. They are carefully selected and shipped by air, but your price of 666 yuan for an ice cream is not reasonable. This big watermelon can at least make several servings." Watermelon ice cream, how much does it cost!"

This sentence comes from a shrewd middle-aged aunt. She is clear from the perspective of cost and wants to give Bai Xiaobai a blow.

"It's not," Bai Xiaobai denied, "every piece of extremely cool watermelon ice cream in my store is made from the juice squeezed from the center of the Sanbai melon. A new ice cream needs to consume 6 of these three white melons."

As soon as Bai Xiaobai said this, the surrounding customers were in an uproar.

Instead of making several portions of watermelon ice cream from 1 Sanbai melon, it takes 6 Sanbai melons to make a portion of watermelon ice cream. This...

"Damn, it's too extravagant to use only the middle part of the melon to make juice!" A customer was taken aback, with a tone of disbelief.

"I think it's pure waste and completely unnecessary. It's all the same watermelon, and the flesh of it all tastes the same. There's no difference between the middle and the corners."

"I also think that this is meaningless. Is Boss Bai doing this to attract attention, and then take the opportunity to increase the price of ice cream?" A customer whispered in the crowd.

Customers continued to talk about the new product, with all kinds of doubts pouring in. They felt that Bai Xiaobai only used a little flesh in the middle of the watermelon, which was completely unnecessary and a waste of food. coming.

Bai Xiaobai's head was covered with watermelon sweat.

Faced with another question from the customer, Bai Xiaobai just wanted to explain.

As a result, Chen Shasha, who was standing beside him, took the lead and said:

"I think Boss Bai must have his reasons for doing this. To be honest, I have eaten extremely cool watermelon ice cream just now, and I have the most right to speak. This ice cream is the best ice cream I have ever eaten in my life, bar none .”

Bai Xiaobai was very moved by Chen Shasha's calm maintenance.

But her words alone are not enough to convince all customers.

Bai Xiaobai said calmly, "Everyone listen to me, the reason why I only squeezed juice from the middle of a small piece of watermelon to make ice cream is not a waste, nor is it for eyeballs, but has a scientific basis."

"Scientific basis?" An uncle customer got excited when he heard this phrase, and asked, "Boss Bai, why do you only use the middle part of the watermelon?"

"Everyone be quiet, let's listen to what the little master has to say." The old man reconciled the emotions of the customers at the scene.

After all the customers had calmed down instinctively, Bai Xiaobai began to explain his scientific basis.
