Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After a while, Baldy Chen got the recipe he wanted from Du Yong's mouth.

However, worried that Du Yong was deceiving him, Baldy Chen continued to threaten him: "Are you sure that's all you have?"

Du Yong was grabbed by the collar of his clothes by Chen Tuzi: "That's all, really that's all, I didn't lie to you."

Baldy Chen took off his shoes, pulled out three deliciously flavored Great Unity banknotes from under his insoles, and handed them to Du Yong reluctantly.

"My money never goes out. If you dare to cheat me, I will kill you!"

Baldy Chen called out to his men: "Let's go!"

When Du Yong and his wife saw that the group of people had finally left, they breathed a sigh of relief and then trotted forward quickly.

He kept looking back while running until he could no longer see Chen Tuzi and the others.

The couple dared to stop and take a breath.

"His father, if we tell the recipe out like this, and Li Youcai finds out, what will become of us?"

After hearing what his wife said, Du Yong felt a little upset.

"You saw that gang of hooligans just now. If I don't tell them, will they let us go?"

Du Yong felt quite nervous when he took out the thirty yuan from his pocket.

After all, the money was earned in a rather unconscionable way, and he felt uncomfortable seeing it.

"Then what should we do now? Should we tell Li Youcai about this?" asked Du Yong's wife.

To tell or not to tell.

Du Yong was also a little hesitant.

After a long moment, Du Yong made up his mind: "I can't tell you! We can only save about 80 yuan a month working here. If Li Youcai knew we sold the formula to someone else, he would definitely not hire us anymore. How will we support the elderly and children at home?"

"That···"

"Let's just pretend nothing happened and go to work and do what we need to do. As long as we don't panic, there are many people in the factory and he won't suspect us." Du Yong said.

"Okay then." Du Yong's wife sighed. She knew Du Yong was right.

Now that they have revealed the recipe, it is too late to say anything.

The couple continued on their journey with anxious hearts.

After getting the recipe, Chen Tuzi rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative with his men.

"Brother, that old guy was such a coward just now, it's okay if you don't give him money." One of the younger brothers said disdainfully.

"What do you know? If you don't give us money, we will be guilty of intimidation. Now that you give us money, it's an exchange. We are not afraid if they report us to the police!" said Baldy Chen.

Come to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Baldy Chen bought enough ingredients according to the recipe, rushed back to his residence, and prepared to try making it.

Bring a large pot of fresh milk to a boil and add three bowls of sugar...

"Where's the alarm clock? Bring it here quickly to start the time!" shouted Baldy Chen.

"Here it is!" The subordinate held the alarm clock, staring at the time while watching Chen Tuzi making milk.

Add milk powder and starch.

Baldy Chen followed Du Yong's instructions and continued to stir the milk, waiting for it to become thick.

"It's sticky! It's sticky!" The brothers gathered around to watch, and saw that the milk had indeed become sticky as Du Yong said, and shouted in surprise.

"for how long?"

"Brother, it's only 3 minutes, not even 5 minutes." said the brother in charge of timing.

"Cook it for a while longer!" Baldy Chen continued to cook, but the longer he cooked, the thicker the milk in the pot became, and it became more and more difficult to stir it.

"It's time, big brother!"

"Get the lunch box! Hurry up!" Tuzi Chen shouted.

I poured the ice cream I made into the lunch box again and froze it for three hours.

This time, he actually made ice cream.

Under the gaze of everyone, Baldy Chen took a bite.

It has a nice milky flavor and the right amount of sweetness, but why is it so sticky? It feels a bit sticky in the mouth.

Baldy Chen took another bite of the ice cream from the ice cream factory and compared them.

"It's strange. They taste the same, but theirs isn't sticky, but mine is." Baldy Chen was puzzled.

"Brother, could it be that the fire was too high just now? Cooking is all about timing."

"Why didn't you say that just now?"

"I just remembered that, didn't I?"

Although the taste is a little worse, they are indeed making ice cream now, and from the appearance, the ice cream they make is almost exactly the same as the ice cream from the ice cream factory. If you put them together and look at them with your eyes, you can hardly tell the difference.

"Never mind, starting tomorrow, we'll make our own ice cream!"

"Spread the word. Tell them we're also selling wholesale ice cream, just like the ones at the ice cream factory, 9 cents a piece!"

For the next two days, everything was normal in the factory and nothing happened.

Wang Qiang bought the wood himself and made two beds. He also lit up the heating wall in the office, so the room was not cold at all.

It was Dazhuang who helped him move and brought Wang Rong to live in the factory.

The 14-year-old girl looked so skinny and pitiful.

Wang Qiang used the 300 yuan salary that Li Youcai advanced him to buy medicine for Wang Rong, and used the remaining money to return to the workers at the forest farm.

Now he couldn't quit even if he wanted to, because he had no money to return to Li Youcai.

Li Youcai came to the factory as usual.

However, I found that the usual scene of people queuing to purchase goods in the courtyard had disappeared, and at least half of the people were gone.

"What's going on?" Li Youcai walked up to Li Youjie and asked.

"Brother, I don't know why, but many peddlers suddenly stopped coming to us to purchase goods. They said that another ice cream shop appeared outside, and it's the same as ours. We only charge them 9 cents for wholesale!" Li Youjie said angrily when he saw his elder brother coming.

Today he came early as usual to start selling ice cream, but when he arrived at the factory, he found that more than half of the peddlers who used to rush to buy goods in front of the door were gone.

Li Youjie immediately felt strange. Those peddlers were all money-oriented. They could make 50 yuan per trip by selling their ice cream with a purchase price of 10 yuan. How could they give up?

Li Youjie, who was more cautious, asked these peddlers.

They then learned that another ice cream factory had appeared outside, and its prices were 1 cents cheaper than theirs.

These people came here because they failed to get any goods over there.

Li Youjie didn't dare to say anything and just waited for Li Youcai to come over before he dared to tell him.

Another ice cream shop?

Like our ice cream?

Li Youcai was a little surprised, and at the same time, he felt something was not right.

The ice cream he made had a nice name in his previous life called "little pudding." The only difference was that it didn't have cream in it, so it wasn't the same as it is today.

It is precisely because of this that his ice cream is so popular.

Li Youcai didn't believe that someone could make ice cream with the same recipe as his just by eating it a few times.

"Don't panic, just do what you need to do. I'll take care of this." Li Youcai warned him, then turned around and called Wang Qiang, "Come with me!"

"Where are you going?" Wang Qiang asked.

Li Youcai frowned and said in a deep voice, "Someone has copied the ice cream from our factory. Come with me and find a vendor outside to buy some ice cream. I want to see if theirs is any different from ours."

"Okay!" Wang Qiang nodded.

The two of them left the factory together and wandered through the alleys of the county town.

After wandering around for more than an hour, Li Youcai finally bought the imitation ice cream.

The same plastic bag, the same size, even the color is exactly the same.

If Li Youcai hadn't tasted it himself, he wouldn't have been able to tell which one was from their factory and which one was a knockoff.

"That's it!" Li Youcai was very sure that the ice cream he just bought was definitely not from their factory.

Wang Qiang held two ice cream cones, but couldn't see any difference in what he saw. "How did you tell that?"

“The taste!”

Taste?

Li Youcai said, "The ice cream in our factory uses corn starch because it has low viscosity, so the texture is smooth and delicate. This ice cream uses potato starch, which is very sticky, so the ice cream is sticky and has a coarser texture."

After listening to Li Youcai's words, Wang Qiang ate the two ice creams in his hand, and it was just as Li Youcai said.

"It really is!"
