Don’t get me wrong, wife cake is not a cake made by my wife, but a traditional pastry from the Chaozhou area of Guangdong.
According to legend, during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty continued to collect various taxes from the people. There was a birth tax for giving birth to a child, a head tax for living, and a funeral tax for death. The people were The oppression became more and more serious, and uprisings continued all over the country. Of course, the most outstanding one was Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang’s wife Ma, later known as Queen Ma, was a very smart person. During the uprising, In the early days, due to the raging wars, food was often not enough, and the rebels had to run around. In order to make it easier for the sergeants to carry food, Lao Ma came up with the idea of using wheat, winter melon and other edible things, grinding the ingredients and making cakes. Not only is it easy to carry, but it can be eaten anytime and anywhere. Of course, due to the constraints of the conditions at the time, that kind of cake was difficult to eat. Later, smart people improved on the original basis and researched new recipes. Later, people discovered that sweet winter melon is used to make cakes. The cakes made with xiamaifen, sugar and sesame are more delicious, sweet and delicious. This is the predecessor of wife cake.
Wife cake has a thin crust and thick filling, and the filling inside is moist and smooth, with a sweet but not greasy taste. In many places, it is a delicacy suitable for all ages.
The title of Wang Busheng made Liu Mei and Boss Wang look confused.
"Master, why is it called wife cake?" I have heard of steamed meat cake and chopped green onion cake, but this is the first time I have heard of wife cake.
"Well, my wife's cake doesn't taste good," everyone called her like this in her previous life, and Wang Bu couldn't explain why.
"It doesn't sound good. I think winter melon cake is more appropriate." Liu Mei put forward her own different opinions. The raw material is winter melon, so naturally it should be called winter melon cake. This is a logical thing.
"I think it sounds good. If you think about it, the advertising slogan of our product is to eat wife cakes so that you can find a wife. It will definitely be better accepted by everyone." Lao Gan Ma in the 21st century is a successful case, eat Lao Gan Ma. To make you feel your mother's love, Wang Bushu feels that wife cakes, whether you have a wife or not, will choose to try it.
"Well, Master, what if they still can't find a wife after eating our wife cake? Will they sue us for false advertising?" After all, wives are a scarce resource, and not everyone can find a wife. Liu Mei is worried Makes sense.
"How can you blame our products if you can't find a wife? It's not like we are assigned after graduation. Everyone will be assigned a job. If you can't find a wife, you have to look for the reasons yourself. It's nothing more than the first person being ugly and the second person being poor."
Well, okay, what Wang Budie said hit home. This is also a problem faced by many single young people. Without money, there will be no girls to like. After all, love is not everything, people have to live. Of course, if they look good, there will be rich girls. If I fall in love with you, it would be a good choice to be a door-to-door son-in-law. But you have no money and no looks. It is a very real problem that you can only be the remaining one. This is no longer the era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. , girls already have the right to choose their own husbands. Therefore, single dogs are more prevalent now.
"Can I still be used as food if I'm good-looking?" Boss Wang took the initiative to speak for the first time. He has blue eyes and white skin. Such a person is definitely a handsome guy in the Ming Empire, and he is also an extremely popular race. It's just that in a country where handsome guys are everywhere, there are too many of them, so it's not unusual. Boss Wang also thinks that being good-looking is of no use.
"You are really right, good-looking people can be used as food. When I have a chance, young master, I will go bankrupt and have no money, so I will use you to earn money, one hundred taels at a time. Then you will know that good-looking people can be used as food. "And it's delicacies from the mountains and the sea." Wang Bushui had to admit that Boss Wang is too handsome. He has developed such a character when he was still a child. When he grows up, he will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people.
Legend has it that the most handsome man in the Central Plains was passing through a small town, but he was blocked on the road for several days by people who came to see his face. He had to stay in a sedan chair to eat, drink, and defecate. Every day he looked like he was in a zoo. The monkey was watched by the people. It is said that the girl's love letters filled the carriage, and he later escaped under the cover of night. Wang Bushi felt that this guy, Boss Wang, also had that kind of ability. In the future, he could get rid of poverty and become rich by relying on this guy's reputation.
"Well, Master, I can't do anything, how can I help you?"
"You don't have to do anything, just lie down."
"Lie down"!
Okay, let’s end this topic that is inappropriate for children.
Wang Bushi said, "Liu Mei, make some of these egg yolk pies first and put them on the market in two days. Remember not to overwhelm the quantity. Put some at Lao Li Tou's place first. We will keep some for sale in the store, as well as wife cakes." We also make some and sell them only in our store."
Liu Mei was a little confused. First of all, because of the jelly beans, her own business had established a deep friendship with Lao Li Tou, and because of Lao Li Tou, the jelly beans had also opened up a market. It was understandable that she would keep some of the egg yolk pie in her own store, but why? Wife cakes are only sold in her own store. Liu Mei raised her doubts, "Master, why don't we let Lao Litou sell the wife cakes directly? It will take a long time for us to reopen the market."
The people seemed to be on a roll and always liked to go to the places they went before, and where Lao Li Tou's customer base was, it was obvious that he would cause trouble for himself if he continued to go to the market.
"You can't hang yourself on a tree, and we can't live on old Li Tou all the time, right? What if this old man dies suddenly? Do you still want to buy our products? As we get older, anything can happen to us. We must also consider that while our sales of jelly beans have stabilized, we must also strengthen ourselves and integrate production and sales to prevent middlemen from making the difference.”
Wang Busheng's business idea is direct factory sales and first-hand supply. It can also be more easily accepted by consumers.
Liu Mei is engaged in academic research and does not know much about this business knowledge. Moreover, she is a scholar. Scholars have despised businessmen since ancient times. If it were not forced by life, Liu Mei would not bother to speak every day to repay the young master's bribery. Keeping your mouth shut is profit, and the market pays dividends.
The future industrial model has been finalized. The most fearful thing in doing anything is to follow the rules, be unchanging, understand the market clearly, and follow the market. Only in this way can you make a fortune and never go bankrupt. If all your products are sold by Old Man Li, you will be like being strangled by Old Man Li. Tighten your neck, you can still live in peace and trade fairly now, but if Lao Litou masters the development technology of jelly beans that day, will he still choose to cooperate with him? Will he choose a new partner to open up the market by then? It's too late for anything. You can't do harm to others, but it's necessary to be vigilant at all times.
Everyone was busy with their own business. Liu Mei and Boss Wang went back to work on new products. The small courtyard returned to calm. The sound of raindrops on the ground was no longer there, but the lingering fragrance was left in the air.
Life lies in movement, and those who are motionless are either bastards or dead people.
Life is better, three meals a day are guaranteed, and there is enough money for free disposal. Life is considered satisfactory. The next step is to maintain a healthy body. The daily exercise king will not dare to fall behind even if he does not die. Leng Bingbing is now The force value has increased exponentially. Now I have no confidence at all to subdue King Leng Bingbing. It will be embarrassing if I can't get into bed during the bridal chamber in the future.
He went to the open space to exercise and exercise every day, rain or shine, and the old man did the same, as if he didn't have to work. Wang Bushi guessed that this man was either a landlord or a retired cadre of the court. He was greedy when he was in power, but now he has no worries about food and clothing.
After finishing a set of old immortal punches and sweating, Wang immortal felt comfortable and his body felt much more relaxed. It would be nice to have a cold drink at this time. Although it is harmful to the body, it is comfortable.
The white cat and the black dog have been laid off from their jobs of making and delivering jelly beans and have become Wang Bushit's full-time bodyguards. It's just a pity that the two of them don't have the habit of getting up early. They are still asleep at the moment. There is no doubt that there should be something in their dreams. A heroine, this is a script that single old men all get.
"Little Master Wang, it's so early for you today."
The old man came from a distance stroking his beard.
"Please, uncle, don't use this conversation line every day! It's the same line every day. I'm tired of hearing it even if you don't get tired of it." In this short month, the old man has been insisting on this sentence for a month. . To be honest, it's just like the mechanical prompt tone of a cell phone, "Hello, your phone is in arrears, please recharge in time," which makes people feel that it is perfunctory.
"Uncle, please tell me that the weather is really nice today. Let's have a meal together later. I think your words about Little Master Wang are somewhat sincere. You say this every day. Uncle, are you sure this is not perfunctory?"
"Uh, haha, I didn't pay attention. Next time, I'll pay attention next time." The old man smiled awkwardly. He has a lot of things to do. It's a great honor for you to take the initiative to say hello to you. In the world, you can let yourself take the initiative to say hello. The number of people can be counted on five fingers.
"Okay, I'll take it as a yes. Let's go eat somewhere later. I heard that the Songjiang seabass at the Bund Tavern in Songjiang Mansion is pretty good. How about we go try it?" Wang Bushit replied after thinking for a while. This is considered a local specialty. It has been a while since I came to Songjiang Prefecture, but I have never tasted it. This is definitely something that cannot happen in the life of a foodie. Of course, the main reason is that the prices of dishes in Songjiang Prefecture's Bund Tavern are too high.
"Well, what did I promise? Did I promise anything?" The old man looked confused.
"It's a treat. I've already asked for you, and I agreed. It's the Songjiang seabass at the Songjiang Mansion Bund Tavern. I don't have much to eat, so don't worry."
"Well, young people nowadays are so shameless. They don't suffer any loss in whatever they eat. I'm so old and I have to eat one less meal. Shouldn't it be your kid who's treating me? It's a glorious tradition to respect the old and love the young." Earning money is not easy. The Bund Tavern in Songjiang Prefecture is one of the best in Songjiang Prefecture. I have heard of it. The price of the food would make even people from a family like myself feel chills on the back of their necks. Why are you asking me to treat you to dinner? , this is a joke, the iron cock plucking its feathers - impossible,
"Ah, haha, look at my brain,"
"Don't say you have soup simmering on the stove. I don't believe it," Wang Bushit said first.
"Haha, making soup, that is a matter for the servants of the family. I forgot that there is a parliament today. I need to rush to Huitian Mansion. Little Master Wang, we will see you in a few days." Then the old man disappeared, and his speed was quite fast. Could it be because he practiced Tai Chi? If his waist is not sore and his legs are not resting, he can still run the whole marathon.
"Um, isn't this just running away?" Wang Busheng had a new understanding of the ancients. Gentlemen are as gentle as water, and treat guests to dinner.
What Wang Busi didn’t know was that the old man was really not running away, but that something really happened. The old man got into a car with a Zhen 1 license plate and drove towards the south.
