Chapter 302 Tea Bag
really!
It failed.
Rose, with a sad face, looked up and saw Josh running towards her, and gave her a forced smile.
“Boss Josh, I’ve failed you and I’ve failed again.”
Rose never thought that she had followed her mother into the aristocratic kitchen as a helper at the age of five, and had been learning from her mother and various excellent pastry chefs and cooks she met. She felt that she had some talent and making pastries was not a problem at all.
But this small egg yolk pastry caused her to fail repeatedly.
I don’t know how many failed products she has made.
"It smells so good." Qiao Xi picked up the still hot egg yolk pastry on the plate and took a bite.
It was still hot, but she couldn't wait to taste it.
Mm, it smells so good. Aunt Rose must have added lamb's milk into the taro paste filling. It has a milky aroma. The filling is delicious, sweet and soft, and the egg yolk is salty and fragrant. No problem.
The problem is the puff pastry part, which is why Rose said it failed with a wry smile when Josh just came in.
The puff pastry on the outside cracked directly from the center after baking, revealing the filling inside. Even when Josh was eating it just now, he bit directly into the filling, without any puff pastry covering it at all.
"There's no problem with the filling. I'm confident about that. My seasoning is pretty good. It's just the crust that I can't make well, Boss Josh." Rose looked at Josh for help.
"Okay, Aunt Rose, show me how you make the puff pastry and show me what went wrong." Josh said after thinking for a while.
"good."
As Rose began her skilled movements, Josh watched her every move without blinking.
"Wait!" Josh suddenly spoke.
Rose quickly stopped what she was doing and looked at Josh nervously.
"You put the prepared pastry in the refrigerator, didn't you? After you take it out, you need to wait for it to warm up before wrapping it, otherwise the dough will break easily when you roll it out."
"Oh, I didn't notice this before. I'll remember it." Rose looked annoyed, then became more serious.
"Stop! Aunt Rose, when you roll out the puff pastry, you must keep it moisturized the entire time. Otherwise, the dry puff pastry won't be able to wrap the egg yolk pastry properly and there will be problems."
"good."
"Wait a moment."
I have to say, even though I have Qiao Xi's recipe, when it comes to making snacks, if there's no one familiar with the recipe by your side, any mistake will result in a huge difference in the final result.
As the egg yolk pastry successfully went into the oven, both of them became nervous, wondering if it would be successful this time.
"I'll go check on Zane. Don't worry too much. We can still study it further if it doesn't work." Rose was too nervous. The two of them were in the same room, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Okay boss."
That being said, Rose needed this job more than the others, and although Josh didn't say anything, she still felt a lot of pressure.
After Qiao Xi left, she prayed silently in her heart that she must succeed this time.
"Zane" Josh walked into Zane's workstation, a small laboratory.
“Boss Josh, you’re here.” Zane had sent her a message before, saying that the research on bitter candy had yielded some results, and asked Josh to come and take a look.
"Come, try it first." Seeing Qiao Xi coming, he first made a glass of water for Qiao Xi and brought a small plate of candied fruit? Dried fruit? Not sure.
Mysteriously, Qiao Xi picked up the water glass and took a sip.
The light sweetness of the bitter candy tree mixed with the sweetness of honey warms the stomach and heart in one bite, and is refreshing and not greasy.
Josh raised an eyebrow: "It tastes good, very good."
“Try the next one.” Zain pursed his lips and suppressed his smile.
Qiao Xi simply picked up a fruit with his hands and put it in his mouth. He didn't know if it had been pickled in some way or something, but the faint mint fragrance mixed with the bitter taste of bitter candy formed a cool and slightly bitter taste.
Just by holding this fruit in his mouth, Qiao Xi felt refreshed all over, and it had a very strong refreshing effect.
"They are all very good!" Josh said in surprise, his eyes shining.
"All the research is based on your ideas, farmer. You have guided me on the right research path." Zane said with a smile.
“Zayn, don’t be so modest. I just said it casually.” Josh is not the kind of leader who likes to show off. Credit should go to whoever deserves it. There is no need to force it on himself.
The corners of Zane's mouth rose, he was very happy to receive the farmer's praise.
"Tell me about the production methods and costs of these two methods." The bitter candy rolled between the lips and tongue, and the slight bitterness was followed by a refreshing sweetness.
"I steamed the bitter candy and then pickled it with honey. When the bitter candy is completely soaked in the golden color of honey, you can take it out and soak it in water. I also added a little bit of blue sea salt to the cup to enhance the flavor of this fruit tea."
"Blue sea salt?" Josh asked in surprise. No wonder the drink tasted so refreshing just now. It turned out that it was the added blue sea salt with a slight sea flavor.
“What about the cost?”
Zane picked up the note on the table, handed it to Josh, and then said knowingly, "Blue sea salt and bitter candy are nothing. If you calculate it based on the amount of one or two candies, they may not even add up to five federal points. The key is the cost of attribute honey. Basically, this glass of water requires thirty federal points of attribute honey."
As he listened to him, Josh looked at the contents recorded on it.
"However, since the Glimmer Farm itself produces attribute honey, the cost can be slightly reduced to about 25 Federation Points. The total cost is about 30 Federation Points."
“The cost is thirty federal points,” Josh muttered.
In fact, the raw materials are all available on the farm, and the cost is just calculated. There is no need to purchase them from outside, so it is just a matter of how much profit you can make.
Last year, when Qiao Xi was selling honey lemonade at a stall in the free market, he didn't even calculate the cost of the giant lemon. He sold 31 cups, which was still a profit.
How should I price this bittersweet drink now, Josh pondered.
Seeing Josh frowning and thinking about something, Zane seemed to remember something and hesitated to speak.
“Zane, just say whatever you want to say, it’s okay,” Josh said to him after coming back to his senses.
"It's like this. Didn't the farmer treat us with scented tea before? It was packaged very nicely, one portion at a time. It left a deep impression on me. I wonder if this bitter sweet drink can be divided in the same way? I'll just let the guests buy it and soak it in water themselves."
"Packaging, tea bags! Sure! Zane, you made a good suggestion!" Josh thought it was very feasible!
