my magic industry

Chapter 16 Carl's Bakery

Having secured the sugar sales channel at the expense of the cake making method, Xia Lin returned to the imperial capital and continued to get busy.

The daily output of his small sugar workshop is actually about [-] pounds. He originally planned to hand over all of them to the Greg Chamber of Commerce for shipment, but since he wanted to try to teach his mother and sister to make cakes to make money, he gave his mother and sister My sister left a quota of one hundred pounds of sugar.

Supplementing the lack of sugar production, after a day of full production, Xia Lin asked Harper to send the first batch of sugar to the Greg Chamber of Commerce in the city.

This batch of white sugar was exchanged for hardware, Lent, twenty silver, and everyone in the Maling small workshop lifted their spirits.

Whether it's old John, Lanny, Hurley or Harper, they all look at those cute little gold and silver with bright eyes.

Xia Lin himself took advantage of this time to re-plan and clean up the storefront, put a few small tables inside, decorated some potted shrubs dug from the outskirts of the city in the corners, bought some tea and spices, and placed them on the side of the front. They put up a wooden sign that said "Karl's Cake Shop", and opened a small refreshment shop in style.

There was still a lot of low-gluten flour that was sifted out yesterday. Under Xia Lin's guidance, Hurley and her mother probably mastered the craft of baking cakes, but they still didn't have much confidence.

Afraid of wasting these precious raw materials, they dragged Xia Lin out of bed early in the morning and asked him to teach them how to make cakes again.

Because it was the first day of sales, they conservatively made two ten-inch ordinary cherry and strawberry cream cakes and two deluxe fruit cakes of the same size for trial sales according to Xia Lin's instructions.

In addition to the cake, Xia Lin had a flash of inspiration looking at the molasses left over from refining the sugar yesterday, and then taught his mother and sister how to make a dessert that is equally delicious but more affordable with milk, sugar and eggs: pudding.

This simple and delicious dessert only needs to put a little sugar in the eggs and stir to completely melt the sugar into the egg liquid, then add milk and cream and stir well, and finally let it stand for a while and heat it on the water bath for 10 minutes. Finish.

After being poured with brown molasses, the two mothers and daughters were full of praise for the slightly elastic texture and sweet and fragrant taste of the brown sugar pudding. Naturally, they would not object to including this dessert on the menu.

The drinks that go with these desserts are traditional black tea and a dozen pounds of green tea that Xia Lin temporarily fried in an iron pan. In addition, lemon juice and sugar can be used to embellish the taste.

Xia Lin gave this small shop a lot of ideas. He hung the name of the product with the price on a conspicuous place behind the counter in the store.

It says:

"Cherry Cream Cake/Strawberry Cream Cake: Five silver Mal one piece

Luxurious Fruit Cake: One piece of Eight Silver Mal

Brown sugar pudding: [-] copper pes each

Black tea: fifty copper bis a cup

Green tea: thirty copper pes a cup"

For a modern person, the necessary advertising marketing is naturally indispensable.

Silverfish Street leads directly to the pier in the North District, and there are quite a lot of pedestrians on a daily basis. Xia Lin asked Hurley to cut cakes and puddings into small pieces the size of longan, and put them on a table made of wooden boards at the door to welcome them. Pedestrians try it for free.

Although more than half of the people who pass by here are not the target group of the cake, the delicacy of the cake is spread by word of mouth, and there will always be people who can afford the cake and come to taste the news curiously.

Moreover, pudding focuses on being close to the people, and its deliciousness is believed to be recognized by many people.

"Hulley, don't be shy! You are the kanban lady of our Carl's Bakery! Be imposing!"

Xia Lin stood beside Hurley on the street with people coming and going, encouraging her sister.

"But...but how could anyone be able to do that kind of weird advertising slogan called out to you in front of so many people!"

Hurley was wearing a new light blue dress, and said coyly.

"There's nothing you can't do! Isn't it just shouting? Look at me as a demonstration!"

Xia Lin shook her head, feeling a little helpless towards her unworthy sister.It's impossible for him to manage the cake shop every day. If Hurley doesn't exercise now, how will she run her own cake shop in the future.

"Karl's Bakery! The sweet, sweet and soft cakes and puddings are free to taste! You don't need to pay for new pastries! Come quickly, everyone, the pastries will be gone after eating!"

Xia Lin stood on the street, waving her right hand to the pedestrians coming and going, and put her left hand to her mouth, shouting the advertisements she had just made up.

This is the first time that free tasting has appeared in this world. When they heard that there is such a good thing as free food, passers-by immediately cast curious eyes.

"You really don't want money?"

Soon, a woman wearing a headscarf and holding a little girl was attracted by Xia Lin's advertisement, and walked over with some hesitation. She looked at the small, delicious-looking food in the wooden table. asked the pastry.

"Of course there is no money! But one person can only taste it once! If you want to eat it again, you can only buy it at Carl's Cake Shop! Little sister, do you want to try a piece?"

With a gentle smile, Xia Lin leaned over and asked the little girl with her fingers in her mouth.

"Mommy mommy!"

The little girl looked up at her mother and begged.

"Then... let's have a piece!"

The woman felt that there were so many people on the street, this young man should not deceive herself, she gritted her teeth and said.

"Here, your little cake and pudding! Be careful not to drop it!"

Xia Lin inserted a piece of cake and a piece of pudding into the little girl with the prepared bamboo sticks. The little girl took the cake and opened her small mouth and swallowed the small piece of cake into her mouth. The sweet and soft taste immediately Made her eyes widen.

chew...chew...chew...

After a moment of surprise, the little girl narrowed her eyes, happily enjoying the taste of the cake.

After eating the cake, the little girl looked at the soft pudding, licked her lips, and put it into her mouth.

It was completely different from the cake, but it was sweeter and softer, and the little girl felt as if she was flying up, hugging those soft clouds in the sky.

"Is it delicious?"

Seeing her daughter's reaction, the woman asked in surprise.

"Delicious! Mom, I still want to eat!"

The little girl swallowed the pudding, looked at the small cakes and puddings on the table with bright eyes, and shook her mother's hand beggingly.

"How much is this cake and pudding?"

The woman couldn't hold back her daughter's entreaties, and asked Xia Lin and the two helplessly.

"A piece of cherry cake or strawberry cake is five silver coins, and a brown sugar pudding is fifty copper coins. Buy any new dessert now, and I can give you a cup of green tea worth thirty copper coins!"

"What? How much? Five silver coins?! Then... give my daughter a piece of that pudding..."

When the woman heard Xia Lin's quotation, her hand that was about to take the money from the apron froze, and said hesitantly.

"Okay! Come to the store, please! We'll serve pudding and green tea to your daughter soon! And would you like to try the cake and pudding too? Everyone gets a free tasting!"

"Okay then... I'll try it too!"

The woman was obviously also interested in expensive cakes and puddings that looked crystalline and attractive. She took the bamboo skewer that Hurley handed over, put it in her mouth and began to taste it.

The rich sweet taste immediately captured her heart, followed by the springy and smooth pudding. The stickiness and sweetness of the molasses matched the light and smooth pudding body just right, which made her stretch her brows in surprise.
