Different generation married man

Everyone in the village came, but Li Zhen didn't come. Everyone knew the filth of the two families, so they wisely didn't mention it.

During the dinner, shopkeeper Fang told Su Mo that the gentleman he was looking for had found one, and asked him to come to his place when he was free, so that we could visit together sometime.

The village head was very happy when he heard that the matter of Mr. Zhao had some clues. He toasted the shopkeeper Fang again and again, until his face was flushed with drinking, and he looked even more like a Maitreya Buddha.

After everyone ate the banquet, Zhuo Yan Su Mo personally sent shopkeeper Fang away.

The rest of the people looked at Zhuo's house, and they were all dumbfounded, how much would it cost to build such a house?

It seems that this kid Zhuo Yan has made a fortune!

Many people are envious but have no other thoughts, and some people will say a few bitter words, thinking that he is lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law back.

After the banquet, some women would stay to help pack things up. Aunt Wang was worried about these favors, so Su Mo pushed Zhuo Yan to go shopping in the garden.

***

All is ready except for the opportunity!

But before the opening, in order to promote, Su Mo took the dozen or so sugar makers to make many colorful handmade lollipops.

This kind of lollipop is different from the previous ones made with molds, both in color and shape, each one is different.Some even press a candied fruit inside, which makes the taste of the candy more layered.

Of course, wave lollipops are indispensable.

But Su Mo discovered another problem, that is, the sugar is exposed in the air like this, and it is easy to be stained with floating dust in the air, which is very unhygienic.

In the past, almost all the sugar paintings for children were made on the spot, and there were few lollipops, so the influence was not great.But now that we have done a lot, if we still let it be exposed to the air for a long time, it will not work.

It cannot be wrapped in transparent plastic paper like modern times.

Su Mo scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally pulled out from his mind a kind of candy paper that had long since retired from the stage of history.

That is glutinous rice paper, a kind of paper specially used to wrap sugar decades ago.

Although it is called paper, it is actually made of starch and is edible paper.

It just so happens that he can do it, and it's not difficult to do it.

Just do it, Su Mo made a very thin slurry with flour, filtered out impurities, and brewed it with hot water to make a starch paste.

Put the thin iron sheet on the fire, and evenly brush the starch paste on the iron sheet with a brush. The temperature on the iron sheet bakes the paste into a thin sheet of paper almost instantly.

Su Mo quickly took the paper off the iron sheet and put it aside, it became a thin transparent paper.

This action must be fast and the strength must be uniform, otherwise there will be uneven thickness, not only easy to break, but also the transparency will be reduced.

But this has no technical content, it is just a process of practice makes perfect.

In the future, this glutinous rice paper will have many uses and needs to be made in large quantities. Su Mo thought of some retired soldiers. Some people have no problems with their hands but injured their legs. They are just suitable for this job.

I was thinking about other things in my heart, but my hands were not slow, and I quickly made a large stack, cut it into small square pieces with a special guillotine, and wrapped the lollipops, so that It can be much cleaner without affecting the appearance.

This kind of paper can be eaten, or it can be peeled off and not eaten.

The packaged candies are inserted on the straw sticks layer by layer like this, which looks really nice from a distance.

Su Mo invited more than a dozen people, resisting straw sticks, and gave them away for free everywhere in Yuncheng to promote the upcoming candy house.

Ganzhou has produced sugar since ancient times. People who grew up in Yuncheng can say a few words about sugar, but who has seen so many and all kinds of sugar?

They were dazzled all the time, the beautiful colors didn't look like candy, but like small toys one by one.

The adults were fine, but the children followed in groups, each holding a stick in his hand, giggling and making noise.

Within a day, Yuncheng would know that the inheritor of the Mei family, the third young master Su who made caramel, was going to open a new store in Yuncheng.Not only caramel, but also many candies that they have never seen before, colorful and very beautiful.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Everyone is looking forward to the candy house, thinking of going to the store on the opening day, buying some caramel candies, and seeing what weird candies Young Master Su makes again.

Compared with these ordinary people, the faces of the sugar merchants in Yuncheng are as dark as the bottom of the pot.

But after Master Yu's birthday banquet, everyone knew that Young Master Su was now on board the Yu family's boat, and they couldn't move casually.

But compared to Su Qizhi who pushed the God of Wealth away, they were unhappy, but luckily they wouldn't be so angry that they vomited blood.

I heard that Su Qizhi invited a doctor for several days, saying that he was angry and bloody, but it was not angry.

Say something in secret.

But soon the laughs stopped, as the Candy House opened.

After listening to Aunt Wang's parity with everyone, Su Mo selected two people from these people to be the store managers of the two new stores, in charge of all matters in the store.

On the opening day, the firecrackers went off, and the two stores opened at the same time.

As the logo of the candy house, the big windmill was also set up outside the store early, and the straw sticks were specially tied into a tower shape.

This time, an extra-large wave lollipop was inserted on the top of the tower, and a tree was inserted with large and small candies below, and it looked like a pagoda made of huge candies.It can be turned slowly with a slight push, which is very spectacular.

Next to it is a huge lottery turntable, and a wooden fence is used to circle a space outside the pagoda to prevent children from squeezing in and touching the pagoda.

A clerk stood next to him, directing the children to line up, and each of them came up to receive a candy.

As the owner, Su Mo briefly said a few words, lifted the red cloth on the plaque to announce the opening, and after handing over the rest to the store manager, he pushed Zhuo Yan and ran out to avoid laziness.

The store manager was left behind to face the huge crowd of customers, wanting to cry with all kinds of problems.

Finally, he wiped his face, laughed together, and led his staff to maintain order and greet customers.

A stack of small shopping baskets are neatly stacked at the entrance of the store, and everyone who enters the store holds one in his hand, and is accompanied by a smiling clerk during the whole process, answering any questions at any time, with a very good attitude.

When you enter the store, you will see a dazzling array of candies. Even those who ask to come in to have a look, can't help but reach out to take them from the shelves. Of course, the best seller is caramel.

At the counter, peanut candies, sesame candies, and brown candies are also very cheap by the catty, and many people buy them.

Of course, there are also some masters who are not short of money. They took a basket back with a wave of their hands, and even applied for a membership card under the introduction of the store manager.

Anyway, it's only 50 taels of silver, and there are so many benefits, so it's not a loss.

As soon as Su Mo's candy house opened, the rest of the sugar merchants saw its terrifying gold-absorbing power, not to mention others, even his own daughter secretly found someone to buy it secretly.

And the caravan that came to Yuncheng from other places to buy goods saw the caramel, and they also made up their minds. More than one family came to inquire how to buy the caramel, but they were all rejected by Su Mo.

The sugar merchants looked at the deserted storefront one by one, sighing and complaining about Su Mo.

But fortunately, the lost customers were all buyers of stone honey in the past.The purchasing power of this group of people is not high, and if they lose it, they will lose it.They also have the big head of frosting sugar, so although there is an impact, it is not too big.

It's just that he was upset and said a few sour words in private.

On the contrary, those small sugar workshops have a greater impact, because the customers of this part of the sugar workshops are ordinary people, mainly stone honey. Can't do it anymore.

Naturally, Su Mo also considered this issue. Fortunately, he had already made preparations and just waited for the caramel factory to be completed.Although he is not a holy father, he can't do it either. He only cares about himself, and crowds others with no way out.

Among these shops, Su Qizhi's business was the most affected, because Su Mo's two shops were not far from his shop, and as a result, almost half of the business in the entire shop was taken away.

When outsiders saw it, they felt that Su Mo was targeting him deliberately.

Su Mo also couldn't say it, this shop is not his, who knows what Wen Renchen thinks.

After the business of the candy house was booming for a period of time, it slowly slowed down, but the daily traffic was still very stable.As for the customization of candies, it has gradually improved. For birthdays, weddings, or poetry parties and garden parties held by ladies, they will also come to the store to customize some special candies.

For a while, this kind of customized candy became a fashion in Yuncheng.

After finishing the work and everything was on the right track, Su Mo remembered the promise made by Shopkeeper Fang.

So I brought some small gifts to see the shopkeeper Fang, and it happened that the shopkeeper Fang also had time, so the two made an appointment to meet the gentleman together.

On the way there, the shopkeeper introduced to Su Mo that Mr. Zhu was a scholar, and he was only in his early forties this year.

Su Mo was curious, "Why didn't you take the exam?"

He remembered that in this era, scholars were proud of scientific examinations, and some in their seventies and eighties were still taking the examinations.This Mr. Zhu is only forty, still very young for this era.

Why don't you continue to take the exam, but are willing to go to the countryside to become a teacher?

Shopkeeper Fang paused, and said, "This Zhu Xiucai has some knowledge, but his luck is not very good."

Said complexion is also a little weird.

"What's wrong?"

"If you say that Zhu Xiucai is also a scholarly heir, it's just that he is still lost in his generation, but he still has a bit of aura in reading. It's just that every time I meet him rushing for an exam, there is a problem here or there. In short, none of them went smoothly." Shopkeeper Fang shook his head as he spoke, sighing.

Su Mo asked in surprise, "What a coincidence? Every time it doesn't go well?"

"Speaking of it, don't believe me, Zhu Xiucai doesn't know which gods he has offended? There is never a time when there is no problem." Shopkeeper Fang said.

"Since there are problems every time, how did he get admitted as a scholar?"

Shopkeeper Fang's face became even more strange, "He went well in the exam, but after passing the exam, his mother died of illness. After he came out after three years of mourning, he became disheartened and didn't want to take the exam again. I lived with some ancestral property, and I also sat in a private library, or wrote or painted."

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Fang smiled embarrassingly, "He has bad luck in scientific examinations, but he has nothing in other aspects. Just when you mentioned that you want to find a teacher for the school in the village, I thought of him, he There is no problem with knowledge, it depends on whether you mind or not?"
