Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 308 Begonia Cake in Old Street
After crossing the Puhuitang Bridge, the three of them immediately saw a small stall with a plaque of "Chinese Famous Begonia Cake".I saw a chef wearing a white hat and a white apron, who was making preliminary preparations for making crabapple cakes, oiling, scooping noodles, adding ingredients, turning red bean paste, and sprinkling ingredients, all in one go.

At this time, there happened to be a mold of crabapple cakes that were cooked.Another chef next to him skillfully turned the mold covered with the iron plate 180 degrees, and as soon as the mold was removed, all the hot crabapple cakes fell onto the iron plate.

There are seven cakes in one furnace, just like a blooming crabapple flower, the cakes with beautiful color, fragrance and shape are displayed in front of the eyes of the three of them.

A unique aroma of crabapple cake came out.Wang Yiyuan couldn't help but bought six, two for each person.The boss was very kind and gave them the remaining one as a gift.

The crabapple cake just out of the oven is very hot, so you have to wrap the bottom with several sheets of white paper to hold it firmly.Wang Yiyuan took a bite, the dough was soft and sweet, the bean paste in it was as fine as silk, and the crispy caramel was mixed with it, it was extra sweet and delicious.

It's delicious, it's really delicious.While eating, Wang Yiyuan watched the chef continue to make crabapple cakes.He thinks that eating crabapple cakes is a pleasure, but watching the masters making crabapple cakes on the spot is another kind of fun.

There must be a mold to make crabapple cake, and the mold for the cake is also quite special. It is a small iron plate with seven holes on it, shaped like a crabapple flower.Because of the use of a begonia flower-shaped mold, it is only natural to make such a beauty embryo.

When making it, first use a small spoon to put the pre-fermented flour into a small shallow pot, then add the fillings and auxiliary materials, such as bean paste, red and green melon shreds, oil and sugar, etc., and bake it back and forth over the fire. After two to three minutes, It was reddish brown.According to the master, five colors such as fruit shreds, melon kernels, and sesame seeds should be added on the top, so that each flower can fully bloom.

Begonia cake is also made in the same way as steamed cake, but it is shorter than steamed cake. It is steamed with a wooden mold steamer in the shape of crabapple, but the glutinous rice is dyed pink with food coloring, and sugar oil, roses, pine nuts, bean paste, etc. are added. After the material is steamed, it is small and elegant, the color is bright and lustrous, and it attracts the appetite.

While eating, Ren Xueming lamented that in Shanghai, perhaps only Qibao can eat authentic crabapple cakes.

Du Jianfeng smiled and said, "Old Ren, you just ate a crabapple cake, and did it arouse your sentimentality?"In other places, there are still beach cakes with different flavors.

He said that, for example, the crabapple cake in Nanjing Confucius Temple is rich in taste by adding ingredients such as roses, sesame seeds, and sunflower kernels.I have also eaten crabapple cakes in Shantang Street, Suzhou, which are also very famous, and the way of making them is also the most simple way.

After watching the making of crabapple cakes, they saw that there were still many people in the South Street, so Wang Yiyuan and the others did not go further into the street, but turned a corner and walked along the river.After walking not far, they happened to see a teahouse in front of them. The three of them looked at each other, so they went in to drink tea.

The three asked for a pot of green tea, found a seat by the river and sat down.After a while, teacups and tea were delivered.

After pouring the tea, Ren Xueming smiled and said, Xiao Wang, do I think you have anything else to say tonight?Why do we have to be called out of our comfortable air-conditioned hotel rooms to suffer the sweltering heat?

Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, there is really one thing.

Ren Xueming smiled and said, if you fart quickly, you will know that you have no good intentions.

Wang Yiyuan thought for a while and said, I heard some people discuss that before the World Expo next year, some professional trading markets near the airport in Qibao, such as the vegetable wholesale market on No. In this regard, we must prepare in advance.

Du Jianfeng didn't understand, and asked, preparation, what preparation should we do?
Ren Xueming smiled and said, Lao Du, you still don't know Wang Yiyuan.Hehe, the preparation Xiao Wang said actually means that he has found a way to make money again. It depends on whether we are willing to participate.

Wang Yiyuan chuckled, picked up the teacup and touched Ren Xueming, and said, Old Ren is the one who knows me.

Ren Xueming asked, Xiao Wang, you have a dog nose, I think you are naturally sensitive to this market.But there is one thing I just want to ask you, where did you get all this information from?
Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, this is a secret and cannot be told to anyone.

Du Jianfeng took a sip of tea, but he still didn't understand what Wang Yiyuan said about the relocation of these markets. It seemed that he couldn't compete with his current business. He didn't know what opportunities there were.

He asked, what does their market relocation have anything to do with us? It seems that they have nothing to do with each other?
Wang Yiyuan asked, Lao Du, let me ask you, after the demolition of these markets, will the small owners of the original shops still want to continue to find places to sell their things?

Du Jianfeng said, yes.

Wang Yiyuan said with a smile, if we can think this way, the property owners in those markets would also think so?They will definitely go to re-find land, find places to build or rebuild some markets, to meet the needs of these small bosses.

Yes, it usually does.

According to Wang Yiyuan's analysis, generally speaking, these newly-built markets must be better designed and more fully functional than the original markets, whether in terms of functions or internal layout of the market.Of course, because the selected place is farther away from the urban area, the overall area will generally be much larger than the original market.

He asked, in this way, what should we do with the area from the surplus?Of course, we have to take out these surplus shops and continue to attract foreign investment, right?

Hearing this, Ren Xueming did have some aftertaste.He asked, Xiao Wang, don't you think you want to get some bunks?

Wang Yiyuan couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile, "Old Ren, you are really a roundworm in my stomach. Before I can say anything, you just said it for me."

Ren Xueming looked at Wang Yiyuan and said deliberately, Xiao Wang, how come the same sentence from your mouth is so ugly, even disgusting?
Ha ha ha ha.All three laughed at the same time.

Wang Yiyuan said that as long as the shops in these markets are chosen correctly, they will have high returns, strong resilience, the older they are, the more valuable they will be, and they will be less subject to government intervention.The investment in shops is different from that in residential buildings. Residential houses are being speculated, while shops are more likely to be returned and appreciated as the city develops and the demographic dividend becomes more apparent.

Du Jianfeng said, hehe, Xiao Wang, I finally understand, so you are planning to speculate in a store?
