Snack Street Tycoon

Because he was the eldest in the family, when the second brother was added to him, he was only two years old, and when the third brother was added to him, he was only four years old, so basically it can be said that since he was two years old, Just fell out of favor at home.It seems that letting and protecting the little ones below is one of his responsibilities and things that must be done. So when he was about seven or eight years old, that kind of mental habit had already been formed. No need to think about it, it must be him who made the concession.

He always has to protect his younger brother, and when few people protect him, even his parents don't protect him, and they will always tell him something that he has to give in to his younger brother and protect his younger brother.So this became a habit and a set pattern, and he himself became numb.

It wasn't until what happened in the rice store on the street today that he suddenly felt a feeling of being protected by others.

It feels pretty good.He decided to make more use of it in the future.

Because if he is as big as he used to be, talented and rich, first of all, others will not dare to bully him, and second, even if something like today's shop happened, he would He can also make decisions for himself, so he can let that person bully him like that, reprimand him face to face, or make him break a few teeth of that person secretly - it depends on his mood. It's something he can do.But now he also knows that his own situation is very different from the majestic appearance in the past. His body shape and his identity make him have to hide and endure whenever he encounters a strong person. Not fighting back, not cursing back, is three points more pitiful than the little daughter-in-law of the old days.

But the problem is how can he be that kind of innocent little daughter-in-law, how can such a man's disposition in him allow him to do everything like this and endure it.

He was fully prepared to allow himself to live well in this place one day, and he thought that before that day came, before he became rich and strong, he might have to endure a temporary humiliation.He originally thought that a man could bend and stretch, but now that the situation forced him, if he had no choice but to endure, then he would endure.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he found out that he didn't necessarily have to endure it. He was not strong, but if he had a strong friend, it would be the same.For example, Xia Houyi, with him, can protect himself from being bullied.

So he was even more certain in his heart that before he became stronger and could make decisions for himself, he would continue to maintain this "good friendship" between himself and Xia Houyi.

His mentality seems to be back to his high school, when he sees a classmate who has some "use value", he will spare no effort to do things for that classmate.For example, he is a top student in science, and he is impeccable in every science subject, but liberal arts gives him the most headache, and among the liberal arts subjects, English is the most troublesome subject for him.So, in order to increase his overall score, he bought lunch for the English class representative in his class throughout the semester, asked his aunt in Hong Kong to buy clothes, shoes, and genuine English novels for her, and asked his uncle in Japan to buy for her. She bought skin care products on behalf of her, and even helped her grab tickets to the concert, just to let the class representative help him review his homework and teach him how to learn this class.

After such a semester, he was the first in their class in the English final exam, and the class representative became the second, and fell in love with him.

And because he knows how to learn English, in the next semester, he will no longer do anything for that class representative.He also thought it was fair, one thing for one thing, he did a lot of things for her, and she also helped him with one thing he wanted her to help, so there was nothing owed.As soon as he stopped, he stopped immediately, but the woman loved him for many years, and she didn't fall in love after graduating from high school and going to college because she always had him in her heart.

He is always doing these things without emotion, doing these things with a kind of aggression and enthusiasm. Often, the other party cannot be as emotionless as he is.After several times, other people's hearts will also fall.

But it can't be said that he is a utilitarian person - he is especially good to people when he is useful to them.He is very good to people when he doesn't need them, and he is very good to people when he needs them. He feels that it is wrong if he doesn't show some sincerity when he asks for help. of.Thinking about it this way, what he did was not so annoying.

It's just that it's quite easy to misunderstand people like him who doesn't consider the so-called "men and women are different, giving and receiving are not intimate".

He used to always do this kind of things that are easily misunderstood. Now that he has come to this world, he still "doesn't learn from the lesson" and still follows his old routine.Little did he know that his current situation was very different from the past.In the past, if he was so aggressive and touched the hearts of other girls, it was up to him to decide if he wanted to stop. If he stopped the offensive and stopped treating people so well, then just stop No one can do anything to him, if the woman's heart is attached to him and cannot be taken back, they can only bear it secretly and lose it alone.

But if it is now, he seems to have forgotten what kind of identity and role he is. He is no longer a real man in this world, and all decisions are made by men in this world.He doesn't seem to be aware of this kind of danger. If he still teases others at will like before, be careful when he thinks he can stop, but others don't want to stop. At that time, he can't help him.

But the problem now is that he neither thinks there is anything wrong with what he did before, nor does he realize that there will be a danger lurking if he still does it now.

So he started to ferment his malt, make his malt syrup, and prepare to make a lot of white handmade mint sticks to "please" his "new friend"-Xia Houyi, and asked After giving the mint to the man, give him a good back rub.

It took him three days to incubate the barley malt with lukewarm water, and then spent more than half a day to seal and ferment the barley malt that was harvested and chopped, together with the sweet potato that was chopped into slag.Afterwards, the fermented product is pressed to produce a thick juice, which is malt syrup.There is no need to concentrate and solidify this syrup, because it is to be added to the coarse-grained syrup boiled with water.

Then he took advantage of the time when the mixed syrup was slowly boiled at a temperature of about 75 degrees, and went to pick some fresh mint leaves.The leaves picked for the first time have dried up, and it is difficult to squeeze out the juice, and the freshness and coolness of the mint is no longer there, so I have to pick some fresh ones.He mashed the juice out of these young leaves, filtered it, and added it to the boiling syrup.

After cooking together for about three quarters of an hour, the mint flavor was fully diffused in the thick syrup, so he turned off the fire under the stove and waited for the syrup to become warm.

When the pulp was warm, he took the mother-in-law's rolling pin and pulled the sugar. When the sugar embryo reached its extreme extensibility and the temperature disappeared completely, he made the sugar into strips. Long strips about a centimeter in diameter and set aside until they are crispy.Cut them into pieces when crispy.

He took a piece of this pure white handmade peppermint candy stick, intentionally bit it from the middle, and it was cut into two pieces by his teeth crisply.It can last for a long time, and it is so white that people think of snow when looking at it. It is cool when you look at it, and it is cool and sweet when you eat it.This sweetness is sweet, it is the refreshing taste that the sugar molecules of natural sugar are refined and then condensed.And this coolness, for some reason, tastes even better than the coolness of the mint candy sticks he bought before. It's as if the coolness has permeated.Although this kind of coolness cannot penetrate the cerebral cortex, that is to say, it can only cool the "chassis" but not go up through the chassis. It is not as powerful as caffeine, which can penetrate the cerebral cortex and reach the brain directly. This coolness can still make people feel refreshed.

After making these handmade candies, he took a white porcelain jar and put some of these candy sticks into it, about twenty sticks, and then he put the lid on the porcelain jar.He closed the door and walked down the mountain to go to Xiahouyi's mansion.It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one in his own home, his mother-in-law and Zu Xin were both in the house at the foot of the mountain, so he didn't need to tell anyone when he went out, he just wanted to come back before dinner.

When he was walking on the road, he was thinking that he would not tell Xia Houyi that part of this handmade cold sugar was made from a crop that "the animals here should not eat".It was only later at home that he figured out why this kind of couscous would not even be eaten by the livestock here. It was because he took a few grains of couscous that had been pounded and peeled off the skin and put it in a pot to cook, wanting to eat it to see what the texture would be. How bad it is, I didn't know that I cooked it for a long time, and finally found that it was not boiled at all.This is also not like the barley in his previous world. Although the barley he knew before was hard and difficult to cook, it could still be boiled for a long time and eventually be boiled. But the coarse barley here is different, it is completely Just like "King Kong", it won't rot no matter how boiled it is, no wonder no one feeds it to livestock, let alone people.

He was worried about whether such non-rotten rough wheat would not even sprout, but he knew that it was excellent for germination, and the sprouts were very high, much higher than barley sprouts. And the sweetness of the malt syrup finally fermented is a bit sweeter.

He wouldn't tell Xia Houyi that there was coarse wheat in this thing.But in fact, he felt that even if he knew about it, it would be nothing, because the couscous is not even eaten by livestock here. This is not the fault of the couscous itself, but because people here don't know how to use it.If you germinate it to get maltose, it is a very good use.But from this point of view, making maltose seems to be the only use of the couscous here, unlike the barley in his previous place, which can also be used to make oatmeal or cook porridge with rice.

When he was standing in front of the main entrance of Xiahou's Mansion with a pot in his hand, he suddenly realized whether it was too abrupt to come here, because he didn't know if Xiahouyi was in his mansion, and he didn't know if he had important matters to deal with. sitting, or receiving guests.

Fan Yu couldn't help regretting that he walked over blindly like this.He hesitated on the spot, and the two gatekeepers also stared at him for a long time.In the end, he went forward and asked one of the gatekeepers to inform him that Fan Yu had something to do with the owner of the house.

The gatekeeper went in to report, and when he came out, he told him to go to the study to find his master.

After Fan Yu entered the house, he passed a large rectangular screen wall, turned left and passed a verandah, and came all the way to the door of Xia Houyi's study.He knocked on the door and went in, and saw Xia Houyi writing something at his desk.He walked over with the white porcelain jar.

When Xia Houyi saw that this man came to his house with a white porcelain pot to look for him, he joked, "Hey, just come, why don't you bring any presents? I'm not like the one in your house, who still loves honey." I still remember the last time Fan Yu brought honey to Zu Xin at home, and I remembered that he also carried such a white porcelain jar in his hand, so it was assumed that he brought the jar of honey.

Fan Yu said: "Where? It's not honey, but it's also sweet. The handmade cold sticks I made are very refreshing. It's great to work at your desk during the day, and to have a little bit when you stay up late at night and think about things."

When Xia Houyi heard it, he didn't like sweets at first, but he heard that he made it himself, so he said, "Really? Take it here and tell me to taste it." Fan Yu walked over, opened the lid, and handed it to his eyelid. under.He took a piece out, and bit off half of it and put it in his mouth like Fan Yu did.After a while, the taste came out.He raised his eyes and said to Fan Yu, "It's really good."

As soon as Fan Yu heard it, he immediately said: "If you are tired of thinking about things, just take one of these and hold it in your mouth. It is very effective. It is not troublesome for me to make it. I will send some to you after I make it." Xia Houyi There was no wave in the eyes at all, just looked at him, nodded, and said, "Well, okay."

After holding the cold sugar in his mouth for a while, he suddenly looked up and asked Fan Yu as if he had thought of something: "Can you make this well and send me two hundred pieces every day?" After hearing this, Fan Yu , asked: "You? Want to sell it in your restaurant?"

Xia Houyi thought for a while, then nodded: "Some women and children don't like to drink tea after eating, I think using this candy is a good way to make them refresh after meals and remove the taste of food in their mouths." Fan Yu thought After thinking about it, he said: "Of course it is a good way. But..." Xia Houyi asked: "But what?" Fan Yu said: "But I promised your cousin that whenever there is something new, I will talk to him first. ...I didn't think about where to put this and sell it."

Xia Houyi pulled him to sit down on his wide chair, and said, "Can't we let him know?"
