"What's your relationship?" Lu Ke couldn't help asking.

All she could learn was what Fu Xin said in person. When she was studying hard in Yangzhou, she lived at the home of a friend who sold tofu.

Eat and drink from each other.

And he also helped him chase his beautiful wife.

These are just the legendary versions of Chang'an City. Except for Lu Ke, everyone basically just talks about it as a rumor after listening to it.

After all, for most people, they think this story of flying up to the branch to be a phoenix is ​​very inspiring and immersive.

But when Lu Ke heard the name Chen Nian and then heard that Chen Nian was selling tofu, he suddenly thought of the child from the third aunt who she had met before getting married. Later, when she grew up, she was indeed selling tofu.

But after so long, she didn't know the other party's news, nor did she know what Chen Nian was doing later.

But this is most likely news about her only relative in this world.

So she plucked up the courage to go to Fu Mansion to ask, and at the same time she had thought about it. If it wasn't this time, she would have stopped this idea.

But now I'm a little curious when I see Chen Nian bringing so many things back from the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

"We..." Chen Nian thought for a while and organized the language.

Then he told how he and Fu Xin met and what happened later.

After hearing this, Lu Ke seemed to have met his cousin again.

She could see that Chen Nian seemed to be very restrained when she was telling.

But the part about the old one still made him give him a thumbs up.

"I am worthy of being the child of the Chen family."

Chen Nian thought to himself, of course, his parents educated him very well since childhood.

Although both of them graduated from high school, they are not at all behind in education.

Afterwards, Lu Ke couldn't help but sigh at Chen Nian's ability, and then suddenly thought:

"Xiao Nian, I have nothing to do now. I'll teach you another way to make dim sum. This dim sum is very popular all year round in Chang'an City." Lu Ke suddenly said.

"What?"

"Baiguocake is mainly made of fruits. It tastes very sweet and sour. Eating it before a meal can make you appetizer and eating it after a meal can relieve greasiness."

Of course, he had seen the 100-fruit cake in the store, and even the process was basically clear. He was to first mix the glutinous rice flour and steam it, then roll it out, put some honey fruits, candied fruits, walnut kernels and so on and then roll it up.

Although my cousin said that this 1000-meal cake is very popular in Chang'an City, it is still a bit lacking if it is called a comment from aged year.

After all, not everyone can eat candied fruit directly, and eating so much, the taste in their mouths will inevitably be a bit mixed.

If you eat so much candied fruit, you will feel very tired when you think about it.

The most is the most eaten two or three pieces at a time.

"Cousin, I've read this, but I just thought about it. Now our store sells a variety of fruit and walnuts. But eating too much will inevitably make you feel a little tired. I have a small suggestion that I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Look, why are you polite to me again? Just say anything directly."

Lu Ke gently patted Chen Nian's arm, and then said in a slight manner.

"It's like this. Instead of simply and roughly putting glutinous rice flour and candied fruits together, why not squeeze out the juice of fresh fruits and mix them with glutinous rice flour? This makes it look good and delicious. If you can use abrasive tools to make some shapes, wouldn't that be better?"

"Are you talking about mixing juice and glutinous rice flour?" Lu Ke thought for a while, "Then will the cost be too high? I'm afraid that a lot of fruit will be used?"

"Sister, this is your limitation. If you use fruit juice alone, you may not be able to produce much. Some fruits are not suitable for use as pastries directly, but we can add some sugar and some other seasonings to it, then add some water to dilute it. It's just to taste delicious. There are also types of juices that we can also choose from since childhood. It doesn't have to use that kind of particularly sweet fruit. If you blend this way, we can choose more.

If there are some particularly sour things, we will add more water and sugar, and then mix them with other juices, which can better interpret our pastry called Baiguocake.

And although the cost is high, our selling price can also be increased. As long as the cost is distributed to every customer, we will still make the same money for us."

When Lu Ke heard Chen Nian’s words, he immediately felt that this plan was feasible!

What are the pastries?

What I eat is a taste and taste.

What is the name and shape of this snack, it is all an extra bonus. She simply calculated that if she could make this kind of 100-fruit cake, then listen to Chen Nian's style, even if the price is a little more expensive, the young men and ladies would have to rush to buy it.

You don't have to consider losing money at that time.

When Lu Ke thought of this, she couldn't help herself. She loved making pastries very much. Otherwise, she would be able to find a place to spend the rest of her life with her husband's savings, or to open a rouge shop, and opening a rouge shop would make more money than a dim sum shop.

"Or why we'll try it today. I'll buy whatever fruit you need now." Lu Ke said anxiously.

Chen Nian thought about it, that's OK.

Anyway, it's already afternoon. Although the fruit is not as fresh as the morning, the price will be cheaper.

Anyway, it's just a try now.

Now Chennian knows that the fruits sold on the market include peaches, apples, pears, apricots, plums, grapes, mulberries, citrus, oranges, etc. These are very suitable for pastries and coloring.

But at this moment, Lu Ke suddenly thought of another question: "What if we can't sell our snacks? The snacks here are usually sold on the same day, but occasionally there are cases where we can't sell them all, so we can only take them back and eat them ourselves, but if fruits are added, they may not be eaten overnight."

Chen Nian shook his head: "Don't worry about this. At the beginning, we can use limited sales situations. We only sell a certain quantity every day, and then it will be gone. After we make some fame, we will make reservations. We will do as much as the customers want.

After we make the name of Xinbaiguocake, we can make it in large quantities.

And if we can't sell it in one day, we can sell it at night. For example, sometimes we can pass the original price by 80% and the real price by 60%. In this way, people who can't afford the original price will come to buy such pastries after the price reduction.

And we can also use this as a gimmick to promote that we never sell overnight pastries. Although many people know that your pastries are fresh, it is inevitable that someone will chew behind them, and other pastries can also adopt this strategy."

Lu Ke was digesting the old plan in his mind: "What if someone waited until the evening to buy it?"

Gu Shu

"Sister, we don't need to consider this issue at all. Now your dim sum shop is famous, and there are all kinds of people coming here, from princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen in the capital, to civilians in the market.

You said that those princes and nobles are very particular about their diet on weekdays. Will they buy pastries that are not fresh at night?"

"Won't."

"Isn't that right?"

"Other pastries are still sold normally, but we target two groups of Baiguocake. During the day, facing those rich people, they pursue quality and are willing to buy the latest ones. At night, the pastries taste not much worse, but they just don't look that fresh in name."

"So that's it." Lu Ke nodded suddenly, "I didn't expect you to understand even these things. It seems that you were really incompetent in selling tofu before!"

"Where are, these are easy to think of."

"It's easy..." Lu Ke suddenly felt a little hit. He is in his 30s now, but he is not as good as a younger brother who is just in his early 20s.

Chen Nian is always refreshing, and he has a sense of words like easy and simple.

Then Chen Nian ran out to buy fruits, after all, someone still had to watch them in the store.

Many people buy pastries for Lu Ke. If they keep their own snack shop, some people may think that this snack shop has changed hands when they see it.

Chen Nian has a lot of money now, so he ran out and jumped to buy some relatively fresh fruits, but in the end he only spent a hundred yuan.

The main thing he bought is something that ordinary people can afford to buy, but don’t think about lychee and longan.

Even if it is made, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

And he has no channel to buy these fruits.

When the brand starts in the future, it is almost the same as looking for channels and suppliers to make such higher-end pastries.

After he came back, Chen Nian began to prepare for the production, but he suddenly realized that if he wanted to squeeze juice quickly, there would be nothing convenient on hand now.

So he went out and walked to the nearby blacksmith shop and carpenter shop, telling them that they wanted to make something that could juice fruits, and in addition to that, he also needed a set of tools that could chop fruits, and then told them about the general structure.

Because at this time, Chen Nian thought that in addition to squeezing juice, he could also incorporate some of the flesh into it, so that he could also eat the fruit grains.

And from the aging of the fruit grains, you can think of many ideas about making dim sum.

For example, you can launch egg tarts first and then fruit egg tarts.

"As sure at this time, there are treasures everywhere. No wonder those novels that travel through time to ancient times can always make a fortune."

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

As long as you can master a modern technology, you will be able to return to ancient times, which will be a latitude reduction attack.

Unfortunately, I was walking in a one-way door and could not go back and forth and buy and sell freely. Otherwise, I could only make a fortune in this ancient world based on my understanding of modern times.

Of course, the premise is not to violate the taboos of this period and not to offend some of your own sorry people.

Although there are no tools now, you can try it.

For example, if you use a fruit that is easier to juice, you can first make some juice, then add some sugar to it, and try the flavor continuously. When it is almost done, it will be mixed with glutinous rice flour.

As for the blended juice ratio and glutinous rice flour, there are only a few types. If you want to make it softer, just add a little more water.

Soon, the first pot of Xinbaiguocake was made in old age. Its condition was similar to that of ordinary pastries, but it was a light orange color throughout. Even if it was cut open, there was no fault.

Very even.

Go closer and smell it, and you can even smell a faint sweet citrus aroma.

Moreover, the texture is crystal clear and bright, and it looks exquisite and transparent under the light.

"So beautiful." Lu Ke couldn't help but exclaim.
