Crispy little husband

The production of candy was stuck in a bottleneck. Su Xin thought about it and tried different methods, such as processing candies with different hardness, but she was still unable to make clear and easy-to-cut candies without mechanical assistance. Blocks of word candy.

Until one morning, when she was eating the flower rolls made by Aunt Chun, Su Xin suddenly thought of a trick—pulling.

Before the candy bars that have spelled out the glyphs are completely cooled, the candy bars are pulled apart and pulled into thinner strips, will it not only ensure the clear writing of the glyphs, but also better cut them into pieces.

A few days ago, the raw materials for making sugar were not wasted, and they can be reused after adding water to melt them.

After several experiments, the candies made after pulling and pulling finally met Su Xin's requirements.

The finished candy is as thick as a thumb, and it is made into a shape between a cylinder and a square. After cutting, the thickness of each piece is about [-] centimeters, about half an inch.

This thickness is the limit that Su Xin can achieve at present, no matter how thin it is, it will be difficult to cut out a flat shape.

In order to prevent the candies from sticking together, Su Xin also specially made some glutinous rice paper for packaging. The translucent glutinous rice paper wrapped each piece of candy and placed them neatly on a white plate. Sugar is full of joy.

The method of making candy is not complicated. In order to make it easier for others to study and understand how candy is made, Su Xin also added different flavors to the red and gold candies to confuse her colleagues.

Pulling sugar requires both strength and skill. Without guidance, it is difficult to master the strength without practicing for a period of time.

But the glutinous rice paper used for wrapping sugar is much simpler. After Su Xin told Tang Dong how to make glutinous rice paper, Tang Dong asked someone to make glutinous rice paper. Su Xin and Aunt Chun went into battle together and made the first batch containing " The candy of the word "spring".

Only the word "spring" Su Xin felt a bit monotonous, so she simply made the remaining three seasons "summer", "autumn" and "winter" together to make a whole, and prepared different colors and tastes. When you buy candy, you have multiple choices, buy more and go home.

With enough features to support the scene, the shop of Tang Ji Snacks opened bustlingly like the pastry shop that Tang's parents used to sell.

The location of Tangji Pastry is not bad, on a main road with a lot of people coming and going in Chong'an County, it was rented out by Tang Dong casually to a family selling mutton soup.

People here in Chong'an County don't like to eat mutton very much, and they think it has a strong smell, so the business of that soup shop is not very good, but the rent given by Tang Dong to them is low, and the location of the shop is good. They can still earn money and keep renting it. with.

When Tang Dong wanted to take back the shop when it was due, the family couldn't say anything, and they didn't remove the things until the last day of the sale, not even a single bench was left.

The smell of the mutton sold was quite strong, Tang Dong would not care about their tables, chairs and benches, he asked someone to replace all the things in the house, pried off the wooden floor and put a new one, he was satisfied.

On the morning when Tang Ji Snacks opened, Su Xin hid Tang Xi and the others, covered the red mole on her forehead representing her brother, put on a bunt that looked like a buddy, slipped to Tang's house, and begged Tang Dong to take him to Tang's house. remember.

Unlike Tangji Buzhuang, Tangji Snacks are Su Xin's first step in this era, paving the way for him to make cakes alone in the future. He wants to go outside to see what the people of this era are like and their preferences How is it different from later generations.

Tang Dong refused without even thinking about it: "No way, you are a little brother who doesn't need you to go out to help, you treat you as Uncle Zhou and they can't make a show."

"Besides, the shop has just opened, and it sells cheaply, and there are samples and free candies. There must be a lot of people coming and going. You are thin-armed and thin-legged. What should you do if you are bumped into by someone? Your mother, my brother You know, can you let me go?"

Su Xin will be 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, and will soon reach the age where he can say goodbye. If something is rumored, Tang Dong thinks that he will definitely be whispered by his brother every day in the future.

After finally getting his brother to find something to do, he temporarily forgot to worry about his marriage. If brother Xin reminds him of this incident, he will suffer too much.

Su Xin didn't give up: "Little uncle, Eminem is very busy these days, as long as you and I don't slip up, I will help out once today. Look at my outfit, I don't look like a brother at all. Others won't." Discover."

"I just stand behind the counter to weigh and collect the money. I don't go outside, so I won't be bumped into."

"Also, I'm fast at counting, so I can't make mistakes. If I go to help, I can get two. If I go, I can let other people go outside to greet guests, isn't it better?"

"Little uncle, although we all think that the candies are very innovative and taste good, but I still want to know whether the candies I made with my own hands are really liked by everyone."

After talking about her own advantages, Su Xin played the emotional card and threatened: "If you don't let me go, I can sneak out, unless you keep looking at me well."

Seeing Su Xin's determined appearance after eating the weight and not changing his mind, Tang Dong had a headache, why didn't he realize that this nephew was so courageous before.

My elder brother used to help out in his own shop, because there were no outsiders in the shop, and my elder brother only helped in the back kitchen.

Seeing what Su Xin meant, he didn't stay in the back kitchen. He covered up his brother's red mole and put on a bunt. He wanted to do things in the front. What should a brother who is not yet married like this do?

The most annoying thing is that Su Xin also said that if she didn't help him, he would sneak out, what kind of words!

Unable to be stubborn but Su Xin, in the end Tang Dong could only agree to take him to the shop.

When he arrived at the shop, Su Xin could only stay behind the counter and could not run outside. Moreover, he and other people in the shop had to be separated and could not touch each other.

Su Xin is satisfied after striving to this level. She eats food in one bite, and walks step by step. Suddenly, there are too many demands and it is not easy to meet.

The opening of Tangji Snacks is the same as Tangji Buzhuang. Zhou Zheng led a team to go out to promote it. The difference is that this time two people stayed with Tang Dong, carrying peanuts, melon seeds, and candies outside the shop, and distributed them to passers-by. people try.

On the day of the opening, you can buy a catty and get a tael free for all meals. There is no upper limit. If you buy a large quantity, you can negotiate a more favorable price in private.

For example, the prices offered by Dong Dong and the others to restaurants are two bucks cheaper than those sold in bulk.

The pricing of Tangji snacks was determined by Tang Dong after a long study.

He asked someone to buy the best kind of raw melon seeds. There are not many people growing melon seeds in Chong’an County. The good melon seeds are all shipped from other places. The minimum cost is 22 yuan a catty, but the fragrant melon seeds The processing is relatively simple, so he sells it at 28 renminbi per catty.

There are quite a lot of peanut growers here, but because it is already past the season for farmers in the countryside to harvest peanuts, they can only go to grain shops to buy them. You can buy high-quality raw peanuts for about ten cents.

If it was changed to the peanut harvest season and went to a rural village to collect it, it would be cheaper by a penny or two.

Although peanuts are relatively cheap, other raw materials for making fish skin peanuts and puff pastry peanuts are not cheap, so the prices of fish skin peanuts and puff pastry peanuts are not low.

Needless to say, sugar, sugar itself is not cheap, even ordinary maltose costs fifty yuan a catty, and granulated sugar costs one hundred yuan a catty. The price of sugar can be increased a lot. Tang Dong directly priced this sugar higher than granulated sugar, 21 catties for [-] Wen.

Although the price is not cheap, it is not so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it. During the holidays, everyone bites their teeth and is willing to pay for it. After all, there are other stores selling similar things without Tang Ji.

When Su Xin followed Tang Dong to Tang Ji, the door was already open. Liangzi and Dahe were putting the candied peanuts on plates. When the people from Zhou Zheng's side set off later, the samples had to be taken out immediately. go.

"Brother Dong." Dahe saw Tang Dong coming, his eyes were full of light, "Brother Dong, is this the candy you mentioned earlier? It's so exquisite! Who would be willing to put such a candy in his mouth and eat it? Take a plate It's enough to put it on."

Tang Dong looked at the neatly placed candies, and didn't feel reluctant to eat them. He just thought that there would definitely be a lot of money in the account today. Compared with the melon seeds and peanuts sold earlier, the uniqueness of the candies would definitely impress some People who don't want to buy it spend money.

Thinking of this, Tang Dong laughed: "Why can't you bear it? When someone comes, you can tell them that the words on the candy represent happiness. Isn't it better to eat happiness in your stomach than to just look at it?"

Su Xin followed Tang Dong, and when Tang Dong opened his mouth to say something about candy, he pursed his lips and smiled. The little uncle was indeed a businessman, and he didn't interfere with Tang Dong's conversation, so he walked obediently Wait behind the counter.

The auspicious time calculated by the fortune teller will soon arrive. Zhou Zheng and others equipped with waist drums and set off from Tang's shop together, becoming a sight on the street again.

When Zhou Zheng and the others went to teahouses, theaters, restaurants and restaurants to sell peanuts and melon seeds, they were already wearing uniforms with the words "Tang Ji Snacks" embroidered on their chests.

At that time, many people saw it, but there were not many people who could read. Many people didn't know what characters were embroidered on the clothes, and they didn't know that they were selling the several flavors of peanuts that became popular recently.

After a day of publicity, people in Chong'an County connected Tang Ji with Yuskin Peanut, and thus knew Tang Ji's name.

While Zhou Zheng and the others were leaving, Tang Dong put on a friendly smile, held a tasting plate, and distributed the peanuts and crushed candy to passers-by.

Not everyone will take the free food and stuff it into their mouths with confidence and boldness. Everyone still has some basic precautions. After all, not everyone will believe in the fact that there is a pie in the sky. Trying food as a publicity is not common in this era. .

What's more, the price of candy is not cheap, who knows if there will be problems if eating the free candy, what if there is a problem?
