Crispy little husband

"Brother Xin, how did you do this? I have thought about what the golden candy you said before, but I didn't expect it to look like this. It surprised me." Tang Dong took the ingot and looked at it. After a while, he finally put it aside very reluctantly.

The reason for putting it down is not that he is not rare anymore, but because he is too rare. Just now Su Xin mentioned that candy is easy to melt if you keep holding it in your hand.

"It's not too difficult to say, but it's time-consuming and labor-intensive. Not everyone can do it." Su Xin briefly explained the reason why candy can be made to look metallic when certain conditions are met. .

Director Tang half understood, but these are not important, as long as Liangzi can make golden candy under Su Xin's teaching, anyway, this candy is not the candy they Tang Ji will sell in the future, just this time It will be used in the Yamen.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be used only this time, if someone is willing to spend money to customize it." Su Xin said.

Customized, of course, the shape is not just the shape of gold ingots, it can be made into other less complicated patterns, for example, some old people celebrate their birthdays, make specific "shoutao" and "shouzi", and some people hold weddings at home , use red sugar to make "happy characters", and offer "good luck" when opening, etc.

In short, as long as you can afford the price and look like sugar can be made, you can do it.

Similarly, this kind of customized sugar will be several times more expensive than ordinary sugar, not in terms of weight, but in terms of shape, size, color complexity, etc. There is no fixed number.

Listening to Su Xin's talk about what kinds of candies can be made with this candy-pulling method, Director Tang couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, but looking at the flawed ingot beside him, he asked hesitantly, "Brother Xin?" , can these Liangzi you mentioned be made?"

Su Xin also knew that Liangzi couldn't do it right now, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't work now, but it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. I think Brother Liangzi is willing to endure hardships, has strength, and is still young. If you practice slowly, you can always master it. If you can't do it particularly finely What’s particularly difficult is that it’s more common to make, and it’s more novel than the ones sold outside.”

Having said that, Tang Dong burst into laughter immediately, and with Su Xin's words, he felt that Liang Zi could succeed.

In the past few years, the reason why Tang Dong was able to earn enough money without running outside every day was because he had news that he could get fresh goods faster than others and transport them to other places for sale. The novelty was that he earned money. The secret to money.

"Okay, okay, this time Liangzi is a great hero, I have to think about how to reward him." Tang Dong touched his chin, thinking about whether to increase the monthly money for Liangzi, but because of making candy, Liangzi's wages Already the tallest of all...

After thinking about it, Director Tang asked Su Xin: "Brother Xin, Liangzi is only allowed to make this kind of candy for the time being. Others need to learn later. Do you think I should give Liangzi more money, or make this kind of candy later?" , Tang Ji's net profit will be divided into [-]% for him, and he will pay as much as he does?"

On weekdays, the big guys do things, whether they followed Tang Dong to run the business before, or now work in the workshop and sell sugar in the store, every time they go to the business and every month they work, they are paid a fixed salary.

So far, no one has cheated, played tricks, enriched their own pockets, and everyone is serious about doing things together.

Su Xin had never participated in the management of Tang Ji. He felt that Tang Dong knew everyone well, and Tang Dong was more talented than himself in arranging people. He heard that he proposed to give Liangzi money according to the amount in the matter of making golden candy. Thoughts, I think there is no problem, isn't this the so-called piecework calculation of wages.

"I think it's pretty good, let's not talk about this. I came to you mainly to ask, do you think there is anything that can be improved about this Yuanbao Tang?" Su Xin took the Yuanbao Tang that Tang Dong put aside. come over.

Tang Dong glanced at Su Xin, and then at Yuan Baotang: "Brother Xin, I told you when you asked me about Buddha-character candies a few days ago that you are the one who makes candies, and you know more than us. More, what can I say."

Just like Su Xin couldn't say anything after Tang Dong said his arrangement for Liangzi just now, Tang Dong also couldn't express any opinion to Su Xin on the issue of making candy.

If Mr. Tang knew that there is a term called specialization in the art industry, he would definitely say at this time that the two of them are good at different things. Occasionally, they may offer some useful opinions to each other, but usually they are It's useless, and maybe it will be counterproductive.

Su Xin thought about it for this reason, but this time he came to Tang Dong to ask him not how to change the taste of Yuanbao Tang, but to ask him if it can be made into such a shape, if not, he will think of a way.

Tang Dong thought for a while and said: "As far as the shape is concerned, it looks a bit different from the real gold ingot at present, but it is difficult for people who don't know it to distinguish at first glance, so I don't think it is necessary to make it exactly the same. "

Not long ago, Liangzi said that she couldn't do it well. After Su Xin's explanation, Tang Dong already understood what was going on. He felt that it was not easy to do it again. Now it is almost the same.

Su Xin didn't worry too much, and if he got Tang Dong, he would take the semi-finished candy away, and show it to his family when he went back later: "Okay, then let Brother Liangzi continue to do this, and try to practice more There are no other problems after practice.”

If Su Xin were to do it by himself, he would probably not be satisfied with this appearance, but if it was Liangzi, his requirements would not be so high. If the requirements are too high for a novice, it will easily make people lose interest in doing this. and enthusiasm.

Just when Su Xin was about to leave, Tang Dong called him: "Brother Xin, do you know what your little uncle and I were doing just now?"

"Didn't you say that someone is looking for you?" Su Xin heard Yuan San mention it.

Tang Dong squeezed his eyes at Su Xin: "Yes, guess who it is."

"How would I know?" Su Xin didn't know why, the little uncle had a lot of friends, and he didn't know a few, but it was obviously unusual for the little uncle to deliberately ask, "Does it have something to do with me?"

"Of course this matter has something to do with you. Do you remember that we went to Pufang Temple on the second day of junior high school, and you helped an old lady at that time, and that old lady called someone to call me away, saying that she wanted to help our Tang family?" remember."

"The old lady?" Su Xin's heart immediately arose when Tang Dong mentioned what happened that day.

At that time, he met the old lady at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, and the excuse he made was to go to the latrine, but seeing the appearance of the little uncle, it should not be revealed, but he didn't know what the old lady told the little uncle.

"That's right, the old lady didn't elaborate on how you helped her, but she has a good impression of you." Tang Dong patted Su Xin on the shoulder, "You child, you usually don't look very loving and friendly. When people talk, they don’t say which family they belong to when they help others, but it’s always a good thing to have a good heart, and good people get rewarded, so this is what happened.”

When talking, Su Xin's face lowered slightly, so Tang Dong didn't notice Su Xin's nervousness just now, he just thought that the child was embarrassed: "Little uncle has no other intentions, just wants to make this matter the same Tell me, lest you never know."

After finishing speaking, Tang Dong gave Su Xin a brief introduction of the status of the Yao family in the provincial capital. The Yao family was not built with money. Some of the Yao family were officials and some taught. It was a family of poets and book heirs.

The last time Su Xin was able to help the old lady of the Yao family, it was luck and fate. Tang Dong did not expect that people like them who lived in the county would often meet such noble people who needed help, and he never thought that he would have to Business can only be done by noble people, so he didn't tell Su Xin too much.

After talking with Director Tang, Su Xin went back to the room where he and Aunt Chun made fudge, and changed into clothes specially made for candy to see how the fudge they made with the molds was effective.

The mold has a certain thickness, and it can be kept warm by wrapping the fudge, so the temperature of the fudge is not as fast as it was just spread out before.

Su Xin lifted half of one of the molds, took out a piece of soft candy, and found that the outer layer of the soft candy had basically cooled and solidified, but the inside was still soft. He squeezed hard, and the "jujube core" and part of the "jujube core" inside "Meat" broke through the outer package, and flowed out like a flow-out candy.

"It seems that the mold needs to be cooled for a while, but it can be demolded in the semi-solidified state, and it can be cooled outside faster, and the mold can be used repeatedly without too many molds." Su Xin analyzed The difference after using the mold.

Then he bit off the fudge he picked up, feeling the taste of the fudge that hadn't completely solidified.

The sugar in the fudge was still flowing, so it was naturally sticky to the teeth. After eating a little, Su Xin felt that his entire mouth was covered with paste. He threw away the remaining half of the sugar and rinsed his mouth.

After waiting for a while, when Aunt Chun finished the porridge for the night in the kitchen, Su Xin picked up another soft candy. This time, when he pressed the soft candy, it stopped flowing. He bit half of it and put it in his mouth. Chew carefully.

In a sense, Su Xin thinks that the fudge is alright, but it is more like a harder soft cake than the fudge, because it is still slightly sticky to the teeth. This fudge is made of starch For this reason, it will be different if it is replaced with gelatin or the like.

When Aunt Chun came over, Su Xin picked up a plate of cold fudge and gave it to her: "Aunt Chun, you just came to taste it?"

Just after eating the delicious steamed buns with brown sugar and red dates, Aunt Chun's "dislike" for red dates was less. She listened to Su Xin and picked up a red date jelly candy and put it in her mouth.

It may be because of the added sugar, or it may be that Aunt Chun is not so "resisting" in her heart. She does not taste what she thought before, and she will have the idea that it is not delicious.

The soft candy is easy to chew. The taste of red dates does not become particularly strong in the mouth at one time, but is released slowly. The illusion of eating real red dates.
