Chapter 12 Teaching(2/2)
It's not a good tea, it just tastes like tea.
"Thank you Aunt Song."
"It's quite on time." Wang Zhong said to Yang Xun.
Yang Xun said with a smile: "I got up early in the morning before dawn, ate two steamed buns and rushed here, for fear of wasting time."
Wang Zhong said: "Okay! You can help me later."
Yang Xun asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what skills do you want to teach me?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Have you ever heard of exchanging chicken feathers for candy?"
"Chicken feathers for sugar?" Yang Xun's eyes lit up: "I heard that there seem to be a lot of people doing this in Yiwu."
Wang Zhongdao: "Chicken feathers for sugar is just a general term. Sugar, just like the steamed buns you sell, is hard currency. The key is that the sugar does not look like steamed buns after boiling it. Even if it is left for a long time, it will harden when cooled and the taste will not be the same."
Get worse."
Yang Xun looked at Wang Zhong expectantly: "Brother-in-law, can you make sweets?"
Wang Chong smiled and said: "It's not making sugar, it's boiling sugar."
"Boil sugar?" Yang Xun murmured doubtfully.
Wang Zhongdao: "Come with me and you will know."
After saying this, Wang Zhong stood up first, followed closely by Yang Xun.
Wang Zhong led Yang Xun out of the door and walked forward, but did not enter his own kitchen. Instead, he walked to Song Yunping's house in front and got into the kitchen of Song Yunping's house.
Song Yunping's house is an old three-heyuan house, surrounded by a courtyard wall. As long as the door is closed, outsiders cannot see what is going on inside.
In the kitchen and yard, Wang Zhong had prepared the materials and tools that needed to be prepared in advance.
Wang Zhong demonstrated each step, and then let Yang Xun do it by himself, while he stood aside to give guidance and correct Yang Xun's mistakes.
Boiling sugar is a technical job, time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is true that not everyone can do it. Although Yang Xun is not tall and not very strong, he is smart at heart. He is also willing to study and know how to ponder, rather than simply
Take pictures of cats and draw tigers.
For most of the day, looking at the bubbling sugar liquid in the pot, the smile on Yang Xun's face became brighter and brighter.
"Brother Wang Zhong, is this done?" Yang Xun stirred with a wooden shovel and raised his head excitedly to ask Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong said: "It still needs some heat, the color needs to be boiled into amber!"
"The temperature at which the sugar is boiled is also very important. Whether the fire is too high or too low, it will affect the quality of the sugar. It must be just right. The sugar that is boiled will have the brightest color and the best taste."
When the heat was almost done, Wang Zhong demonstrated once, and then taught Yang Xun step by step how to take the sugar liquid out of the pot and pour it into the mold prepared in advance to cool.
Putting the grinding tool filled with sugar liquid under the eaves and waiting to dry naturally, Yang Xun turned around and went into the kitchen. He used a spatula to carefully scrape out some of the sugar liquid remaining in the pot. He couldn't help but scrape a little with his fingers and put it away.
In the entrance.
Just this one bite made Yang Xun's eyes light up instantly.
"Is it sweet?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile.
Yang Xun nodded immediately.
"Sweet! I have never eaten such sweet candy." Yang Xun said excitedly, completely forgetting that, let alone such sweet candy, he has never eaten a piece of other candy since he can remember.
"After the sugar liquid cools down, it can be sold." Wang Zhong said.
"Brother-in-law, how should I sell this candy?" Yang Xun asked.
Wang Zhongdao: "You have to figure it out yourself. You guys are not fools. If you sell it too expensive, will people still buy it from you?"
"But if you sell it cheaply, you won't make any money, and you will still lose money."
Yang Xun nodded in agreement and said, "Brother-in-law, tell me the cost of boiling these candies!"
Wang Zhong took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Xun: "Nuo, everything you want to know is written on it, including the quantity and unit price. As for how much it cost, you can calculate it yourself when you go back.
, these sweets you made today, think of it as something I lent to you. After you sell the sweets and make money, you can pay me back."
"Brother-in-law!" Yang Xun's voice was trembling, and he looked at Wang Zhong, with tears glistening in his eyes.
"Thank you!"
