Chapter 303 Success!
"We just have to figure out what to use to package these bitter candy tea bags."
Zane frowned and nodded in agreement. Indeed. This bitter candy is pickled with honey, unlike the dry ones that Josh packaged before, so he needs to think of a way to package it.
"But don't worry, I'll ask others when the time comes, and you can go on to the next one."
Zain nodded: "This bitter candy dried fruit is made by me after it is dried, kneading it with refreshing mint and fine sugar, and then pickling it. I have tried many other combinations, but the effect is not as good as the refreshing mint."
He handed over a fresh mint.
Qiao Xi took it, lowered his head and took a light sniff, and the cool breath went straight to his brain.
"Did you bring this with you? I haven't seen mint like this in Chaoyang City. It's different from the ones I grow on the farm."
"Yes, I brought this from school. It's a specialty there, and it's very different from ordinary mint."
"What about the cost? This mint shouldn't be cheap, right?" Qiao Xi looked at him, hoping that the price he told her would put her mind at ease.
"Ten federal points per piece."
"Ten federal points, not expensive. Wait, you said per piece? This thing is sold by the piece?!" Josh's face was full of shock.
He is even more cunning than her. He even sells mint by the piece.
"The price is reasonable, not expensive." Zane said with a smile.
"Huh?" Josh turned to look at him, unable to believe it.
"The scent of the refreshing mint is very overbearing. One leaf can be soaked in many fruits. Don't worry, the cost won't be very high." Zane explained to her with a smile.
Phew~ That’s good, Qiao Xi patted his chest, which scared her.
Compared with the bitter candy drink, Qiao Xi obviously prefers the refreshing dried fruit. Holding a small piece in his mouth, he feels refreshed and his mind becomes clear immediately.
Although it is not as energetic as those foods with these properties, its refreshing effect is unquestionable.
Not to mention that it is small and very easy to carry, so Josh is very optimistic about it.
"Then is there any stable purchasing channel?" Qiao Xi asked with a frown.
I don’t know where to buy things that are not available locally.
"Well, please, Boss Josh, can you forgive me for smuggling some private goods?" Zane said awkwardly, hesitating.
Smuggling something? Qiao Xi looked at him suspiciously, then reacted.
"You mean you have this wake-up mint?"
"Yes, we planted this when we were still in school. We harvested it all when we left school, and I got half of it." Zane took it out from his space device and put it in a white silk bag with dense stitching.
“There are ten bags like this,” Zane said with a cunning smile.
Of course, in Josh's eyes he looked rather cunning, but he himself thought that he looked very honest and simple now.
Qiao Xi licked his lips, his expression somewhat unclear: "A pack of refreshing mints like this will probably bankrupt me."
"Ah! How could that be!" Zane said sternly, "You can use it first and pay later. You can settle with me after the bitter candies are sold." He had already thought of it.
Looking at Josh's sinister eyes, Zane raised his hands in surrender: "I swear, this is definitely the most suitable combination I have found after many experiments. This is not a private offer, it is real."
Qiao Xi withdrew his gaze and believed him for the time being.
"Then when Aunt Rose's egg yolk crisps are ready, you two can discuss and determine the optimal ratio of ingredients for the two bitter candy processing methods, and then tell me."
Josh was too lazy to argue with him about these things. Zuoyou Farm and Chaoyang City did not have this kind of mint, so he might as well buy it from him first.
If she continues to deliberately guide the farm's research and development like this in subsequent work, don't blame her for being fired.
“Okay, okay.” Zain was honest. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling as if he was deliberately making trouble in front of his boss.
He swore that this would definitely be the last time. He just got excited and thought that he happened to have it, so he started to research in the direction of adapting it to the refreshing mint.
But obviously this kind of selfish research made the boss very unhappy. He didn't dare to do it again next time. No, there will not be a next time.
Back in Rose's big kitchen, the anxiously waiting master was diligently cleaning the place, which was not dirty to begin with, trying to divert some attention.
"Aunt Rose." Josh called her and told her to supervise each other's work with Zane, adjust the ratio of ingredients reasonably, and take care of each other.
When Rose heard Josh's new instructions, she nodded repeatedly.
She and the boy next door were working in the same place, so of course they had to take care of each other and work hard for the farm.
Aunt Rose is a conscientious person. She always wipes her hands clean of oil from work before going home. In her words, an honest person will never take a single penny from the public.
She was well separated.
This is the experience gained from long-term work.
Josh believed that she could convey this work attitude to Zane.
After the two finished chatting, Rose exclaimed, "The stove!"
The two of them hurriedly looked back and saw that the time was up.
Rose put on thick cooking gloves, opened the oven, and carefully took out the batch of egg yolk pastries she had just made.
Four eyes were fixed on the baking tray.
Black and shiny sesame seeds, golden egg skin, and a round and plump appearance.
There was no breach this time!
"It's a success! Boss Qiao Xi, you see, it's a success. It turns out that you are really good at solving those problems you mentioned!" Rose was even more excited than her, and her eyebrows were beaming with joy all of a sudden.
Even Zane next door was alarmed.
"What's wrong?" He hurriedly ran up to the two of them and asked blankly.
“That’s great, Zane, you stay and try it to see how Aunt Rose’s new egg yolk pastry turns out.”
"Egg yolk shortbread? Oh, the one Aunt Rose always makes. Okay, okay." How could Zane disagree?
Normally, the egg yolk pastry just out of the oven is not at its best taste. It is best to wait until the egg yolk pastry is completely cool before it is at its best taste. This is also the key time to test whether the pastry is crispy or not.
But since it was their first success, Josh and Rose couldn’t wait to cut open a hot egg yolk pastry and prepare to taste it.
With one cut, the golden fat oozes out of the duck egg in the center. I take a bite and it’s hot, but satisfying. Wow! It’s delicious!
Zain, who was left behind to taste it, was speechless, and when he tasted it, his eyes widened, and he stuffed it into his mouth in three or two bites.
"Good, good, so delicious!" He spoke vaguely with some crispy crust crumbs at the corners of his mouth, trying to swallow them.
"Slow down, boy, you're not afraid of the heat." With this success, Rose finally stood up.
At this moment, she still disliked Zain’s impatience, and she didn’t know who was so surprised and happy just now, and couldn’t wait to taste it.
