Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Storm at Sea
Two months later, He Junxia was about to leave the factory with his paid salary, but Gao Xingwei and Tian Zhaodi stopped him at the dormitory door.
"Boss, this is a little gift from both of us. You must accept it."
Gao Xingwei handed over a bulging envelope.
How could He Junxia accept the money earned by two children through hard work? He saved them only out of humanitarianism and his own morality.
Tian Zhaodi pursed her lips and said, "Brother Wang, please don't despise me. This money is definitely not as much as your life-saving grace, but it is also a token of our appreciation."
Gao Xingwei agreed: "Yes, brother, please save him."
"I can't repay you for saving my life, but I can't say no at all, otherwise neither of us will be able to sleep peacefully at night."
He Junxia held his forehead with his hand: "Is this how you say you can't repay someone for saving your life? Go back and read more books."
Gao Xingwei chuckled.
Seeing that the two of them were determined and were determined not to let them leave unless they paid, He Junxia did not refuse anymore.
He smiled and asked, "I accept your kindness. If my business picks up in the future, would you two be willing to come work for me?"
Gao Xingwei's eyes lit up: "Of course I'm willing!"
Although he had only known the boss for a few months, he had experienced the shipwreck and believed that the boss would never let him down.
Tian Zhaodi also nodded shyly.
She liked the young man in front of her very much, not in the sense of love, but because she liked his composure and composure even when faced with a huge crisis.
I always feel safe when I am with him, as if the sky falling is just a trivial matter.
She longed to learn from him, longed to have such a mentality, and even more longed to become such a person.
He Juanxia took in the reactions of the two people. He smiled and waved his hand: "I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Gao Xingwei clenched his fist and said, "Brother, we believe in you. You will definitely succeed!"
Tian Zhaodi: "It will definitely succeed!"
The encouragement from the two attracted a lot of attention.
Some people curled their lips in disdain, thinking that young people are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth; some yawned and looked away with disinterest; and some secretly wished this young man, whose name was unknown, success.
But none of this has anything to do with He Junxia.
After leaving the factory, he rented a small one-bedroom apartment in the nearest university town for 1,000 yuan in rent, with a deposit of one month and a payment of one month. Then, following the instructions in the beginner's dessert manual, he bought an oven and other baking appliances and a large amount of baking ingredients online.
Everything was ready, and He Junxia began to learn how to make the most basic desserts - egg tarts and Swiss rolls - from the projection teacher.
Egg tarts and Swiss rolls are simple to make, easy to transport and store, and have a wide audience, making them the perfect choice for beginners.
However, when he actually started making them, He Junxia discovered that making egg tarts and Swiss rolls was not as easy as he had imagined.
It's easy to make, but extremely difficult to make it delicious.
The baking time, the strength of kneading the dough, the degree of whipping the cream, etc., each step has specified numerical requirements.
Because of the slight differences in batches of ingredients, the pastry chef needs to make slight adjustments based on experience during production, and things can go wrong if they are not careful.
Moreover, the projection teacher is very strict and rigid. Only after the current step is passed will it start the teaching course for the next step.
After learning it for a while, He Junxia couldn't handle it all, so she gave up making egg tarts and focused on learning how to make Swiss rolls.
After all, the taste of cold egg tarts will be greatly reduced, so Swiss rolls are relatively more convenient.
One day, two days, three days...
He Junxia studied hard for nearly two months, wasting countless materials, before he successfully reached the qualified level assessed by the projection teacher.
Even though it is just barely passing and still a long way from full marks, the taste is far better than Swiss rolls mass-produced in factories and most privately made ones.
Before officially setting up the stall, He Junxia tried the Swiss rolls from all the cake shops and private bakeries near the university town.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Swiss rolls made by him are almost the same in taste as those made by a very expensive professional dessert shop.
But the cheapest Swiss roll in their store costs 39.9.
On an ordinary evening in November, He Junxia officially set up his stall with refrigerated Swiss rolls and occupied a small corner in a bustling area early on.
Swiss rolls come in 3 flavors: Original, Earl Grey, and Matcha
The price is set at: 4 yuan for 1 piece, 10 yuan for 3 pieces
Although with He Junxia's current craftsmanship and ingredients, it is reasonable for a Swiss roll to be sold for six or seven dollars, but even good wine needs to be promoted in a remote alley.
If the price at street stalls is too high, most people will feel it is not worth it and would rather buy Swiss rolls that appear to be hygienic in cake shops.
The price of 4 yuan per piece and 10 yuan for 3 pieces is more in line with the consumption concept of modern college students and working people, so it won’t hurt to buy one to try.
Even elderly people who take their grandchildren out shopping will not be stingy about spending 4 or 10 yuan to let their children try something new.
At the same time, for He Junxia, the cost of making a Swiss roll is not high. Even if all the cream is animal cream, there is still a profit of nearly 40%.
He just needs to work harder.
"Free trial, free trial."
"Swiss rolls made with pure animal butter, four yuan a piece, ten yuan three pieces, if they don't taste good, I won't charge you."
At night, there are crowds of people in front of the university gate. Carts of all sizes are set up like a night market street, selling all kinds of snacks from all over the world.
To He Junxia's left was a girl selling grilled sausages, to her right was a couple selling kimchi, further ahead were vendors selling pancakes, preserved vegetable braised pork, and braised pork rolls, and behind them were vendors selling egg-filled pancakes, candied haws, stinky tofu, and ice cream...
Not to mention the college students who came here specifically for midnight snacks, even He Junxia, who had already eaten her fill, was extremely greedy.
He is a foodie by nature.
The world in the first few missions was full of disasters. It was good enough to have something to eat, let alone eat something good, let alone deal in various snacks.
Even though the meat of the exotic beasts in the zombie world is delicious and tender, and you can never get tired of eating it, sometimes people still crave it.
He Junxia swallowed her saliva as she sniffed the complex aroma in the air.
So greedy!
Not only was he greedy, but the girl selling grilled starch sausage nearby was also greedy.
Under the light of a small table lamp, the three colors of Swiss rolls neatly arranged in a transparent box are particularly tempting, with a faint aroma of matcha and a strong aroma of cake.
As for why it is described like this?
The matcha aroma comes from the Swiss roll, while the cake aroma comes from the man who runs the stall. If the vendor smells so strongly of cake, the Swiss roll he makes shouldn't be bad.
By the way, she hasn't eaten Swiss roll for a long time.
Zhang Wenshu swallowed and asked softly, "Handsome guy, can I trade a sausage for a Swiss roll?"
The starch sausage she sells costs about the same as a Swiss roll.
He Junxia nodded readily: "Okay, what flavor do you want?"
Zhang Wenshu was immediately delighted and said, "I want the matcha flavor."
She found a perfectly grilled sausage and said, "Handsome, what flavor do you want? We have chili, ketchup, and salad dressing."
He Junxia said without hesitation: "Chili pepper."
His sense of taste and smell had almost been marinated by the Swiss roll, and now he just wanted to eat something that would stimulate his senses.
The two people exchange products with each other.
He Junxia lowered her head and took a big bite of the starch sausage that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and covered with chili peppers. Her mouth was so burned that she was gasping for breath, but she couldn't bear to spit it out.
It’s the taste in memory!
The girl selling starch sausage was even more amazed after taking her first bite of the Swiss roll.
The cake is fluffy and soft, but the moistness is just right. If it is a little less, it will be too dry and easy to choke the throat. If it is a little more, it will be too wet and sticky, and lose its fluffy and soft taste.
Because it is a matcha flavored Swiss roll, it has a slight cold bitter taste when you first eat it.
But as you chew further, the red beans and animal cream filling embedded in the cake join the battle. This slight bitterness soon mixes with the sweetness brought by the two, as well as the smooth and cool taste after refrigeration, into a unique taste with full layers.
In short, it's explosively delicious!
Moreover, based on Zhang Wenshu's many years of experience in eating cakes, the matcha used in this matcha-flavored Swiss roll is not the cheap matcha essence on the market, and the filling also has a pure animal cream texture.
As a dessert connoisseur, Zhang Wenshu has tried Swiss rolls from dozens, if not hundreds, of restaurants, and most of the money she earns from setting up stalls after get off work is invested in the dessert shop.
Let’s put it this way, the only place that can rival the taste of the Swiss roll in front of me is the high-end internet-famous dessert shop that claims to be made by a master.
Their Swiss roll costs at least 30, but the Swiss roll in front of me is only 4, and you can get two off if you buy three!
Zhang Wenshu made a quick decision: "Handsome guy, I'll buy the 20 yuan ones. Give me two yuan of each flavor."
He Junxia hadn't expected his first income of the day to come from a fellow trader. Seeing the eagerness for the Swiss roll on the girl's face, he knew he'd made the right move.
As expected
Almost every customer who tried it would spend ten yuan to buy one to take home, and some would even buy a whole box. Several students, probably because they had eaten the Swiss roll shared by their roommates, came over specifically to buy it.
In less than two and a half hours, the 200 yuan Swiss rolls brought by He Junxia were sold out.
I made 600 yuan in one night (180 yuan sold, 20 yuan for samples). After deducting the costs, I had at least 200 yuan in net profit, which was much more profitable than working in a factory.
And because today is the first day of setting up the stall, he didn’t make much. If he makes more tomorrow, maybe he can sell more.
The next day, He Junxia made 400 Swiss rolls.
After making it, he put it in the refrigerator for a while. Before it was night, he pushed the stall cart to a nearby pedestrian street with a lot of traffic.
Stalls are not allowed inside the pedestrian street, but there are many food stalls in the corners nearby, as well as many vendors selling toys, flowers, and balloons.
He Junxia didn't stand out at all among them.
Moreover, people shopping in the pedestrian street have stronger desire and ability to consume than students in the university town.
The 200 yuan Swiss rolls that He Junxia brought were quickly sold out, and the other 200 yuan was also spent in the university town. Many people wanted to buy but were unable to.
He Junxia looked at the empty cart box and decided to upgrade his equipment and buy a rideable tricycle.
It will be convenient to come and go, you can carry more desserts, and it will appear more formal.
…
Nearly a month has passed, and He Junxia's daily net profit has remained above 500 yuan. He has also established several large WeChat groups, all of which are his customers.
He Junxia thought about it, called Gao Xingwei and Tian Zhaodi separately, asked them if they wanted to work with him, and said that he could teach them two techniques.
The two of them readily agreed.
He Junxia began to teach students how to make Swiss rolls during the day, and learn new desserts such as egg tarts and tiramisu at night.
He taught without holding back at all, and Gao Xingwei and Tian Zhaodi also studied very seriously, and never complained even though they were often criticized.
During the days he spent in the factory, Gao Xingwei had already been beaten by society, and his behavior and thoughts gradually matured, while Tian Zhaodi became even more clear-headed because of her family experience.
They all understand how rare it is to have someone willing to share their knowledge and skills in this materialistic age to learn how to make a living.
A year passed, Gao Xingwei and Tian Zhaodi also had their own specialty desserts, and He Junxia's dessert business was booming and growing bigger and bigger. It even became famous outside the circle because of the development of self-media, and there was an endless stream of people coming to buy desserts every day.
The debt owed by the wisher had been repaid by He Junxia half a year ago, but there was still no news from his biological parents.
But finding someone is not something that can be done just by having money, not to mention that the person who wished was abandoned in a field in the wind and snow.
The people who abandoned him clearly had no intention of letting him survive.
If a kind-hearted person had not happened to pass by and heard the baby's cry, the wisher would have died long ago.
He Junxia stretched, took off his work clothes and left the baking room.
He doesn't want to do it anymore.
In the remaining three and a half years, He Junxia decided to go out and see the beautiful scenery outside, spend some leisure time, and learn some new skills.
Of course, he still had one thing to do before that.
He Junxia asked Tian Zhaodi: "Xiaotian, do you still want to study?"
Tian Zhaodi was startled. She looked into the young man's eyes and was silent for a long time before she said, "I want to study."
“I still want to study!”
He Junxia smiled and said, "Then go and study. I'll take care of your household registration and school matters for you."
As for money?
He Junxia is not short of money, and neither is Tian Zhaodi.
He Junxia not only taught Gao Xingwei and Tian Zhaodi everything he knew, but also let them invest in the cake shop.
Last year alone, she received more than 200,000 yuan in dividends.
Even if the cake shop goes bankrupt in the future, she can still live better than an ordinary worker with the skills she learned from He Junxia.
He Junxia found an opportunity to visit Tian Zhaodi's hometown, and brought a large group of strong men with her.
Under coercion and inducement, He Junxia quickly obtained Tian Zhaodi's household registration book, helped her move her household registration, and changed her name after obtaining her consent.
The girl chose the new name herself, it’s very simple, Tian Xinxing.
A new beginning, a new life.
After the name change procedure was completed, He Junxia sent her to a private high school with good teachers.
He had observed in advance that this school took bullying very seriously, and the girl would not be bullied even if he was not there.
When everything was over, He Junxia looked at the young lady who had grown into a graceful young lady, and then looked at Gao Xingwei who was standing beside her with a naive look on his face.
"How long are you two going to keep this secret from me?"
Gao Xingwei was surprised and scratched his head again: "Brother, how did you know?"
He Junxia rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Because I'm not blind, I have eyes."
"I don't care if you two young people are in love, but please don't let it affect Xiaotian's studies."
Gao Xingwei nodded repeatedly and assured: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not affect Xingxing's studies."
He Junxia got goosebumps from the corny thing.
He looked at Tian Xinxing: "You are a smart girl. You should remember what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Don't put the entire focus of your life on another person."
"If one day your feelings fade and you separate, just part ways amicably and don't do anything extreme."
Girls are always more likely to be bullied in a relationship, and He Junxia couldn't help but nag a few more times.
But when the moment of separation came, he was extremely carefree and relaxed. He waved goodbye without taking away a cloud, leaving behind two young people crying.
