I led the whole village to become rich in 80

"Exhibition?" Director Wang turned his head and looked at Zhang Ze suspiciously.

Zhang Ze shook his head, how could he know.

When the doorman heard that the two of them didn't even know about such a famous exhibition, he clicked his tongue and hurriedly educated the two of them.

"Hey, I forgot the name. But it's an international exhibition organized by the government, and you two don't know about it." The doorman looked surprised, as if he didn't know how rare this exhibition was. things.

"It's right there on Haixin Road. It's such a big venue. There are people from every country, but it's very lively. Because of this exhibition, people from all over the world in our Guang'an flocked here recently, just to go to that exhibition. look."

Director Wang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Zhang Ze.

"Why don't we go and see it too."

There are people from any country, so it is more convenient for him to buy chocolate, can he buy it directly from foreigners.

Zhang Ze was also a little curious, since he was here, he must be going.So the two thanked the old man, turned around and went to Haixin Road again.

Before I arrived, I saw two rows of big red hydrogen balloons dancing in the wind at the entrance of the venue from a distance. I walked through them and took a closer look, and there was a banner hanging on the venue.There are a few large characters written squarely on it, the first Guang'an Internal and External Commodities Exhibition.

Director Wang and Zhang Ze looked at each other, and it seemed that they had gone to the right place.

As soon as you step into the venue, you will be faced with a huge guide board, which shows the distribution of areas in the venue, participating countries and related companies.Director Wang searched inside for a long time before finding the Guang'an Provincial Food Factory hiding in a corner.Seeing that he was indeed inside, Director Wang felt relieved.

"Aijun, do you think we should go to him directly or go around first."

"Let's take a look around, in case there are other factories selling chocolate, let's shop around and have a look."

Director Wang nodded in agreement, and was not too tired to follow Zhang Ze from district to district.Factory Director Wang was dazzled by the dazzling array of products, and his eyes were not enough.

The chocolate seller saw it, but the price was too expensive, and he couldn't afford it at all, so he shook his head and decided to go to the provincial food factory with Zhang Ze, hoping that the price there could be lower.

It took another 20 minutes to finally go to the booth of the Provincial Food Factory. Compared with other booths, the Guang An Provincial Food Factory looked very stingy.In the domestic exhibition hall, it only occupies a small space of less than 6 square meters, and the location is relatively rear, which belongs to the kind that is immediately missed without looking carefully.

The two stepped forward, only to see two people standing in the cramped booth.In front is a young man in a black suit and glasses.There is also an old man in a chef's uniform at the back, holding a few molds in his hands, as if he is doing something.

When the young man saw them, he immediately greeted them warmly.

"You are Guang'an Provincial Food Factory, right?" Director Wang was worried and confirmed again.

Secretary Wang nodded hurriedly. It seems that this is based on the name of his own provincial food factory. This business should be able to be negotiated.

"Yes yes, you want something, here we are..."

Before Secretary Wang finished speaking, Factory Manager Wang said: "We want to order some chocolates."

"Chocolate." Secretary Wang looked a little disappointed when he heard that, and his tone was not as courteous as before. "Our factory does produce chocolate, but it's just a subcontractor, and we're not responsible for the sales."

Factory Manager Wang frowned when he heard that they didn't care about sales.Then who should he turn to? He knew that the provincial food factory produced chocolate, but he didn't know anything else.

Secretary Wang heard the accent and saw that the two seemed to be from other places, so he kindly reminded them again.

"We produced for Bamei Chocolate Company. If you want to order, you can find them. They are in this venue today, you can look for them."

When the two were talking, seeing that he had nothing to do, Zhang Ze curiously walked over to the old man who was doing something behind him.

The uncle seemed to be making pastries. I saw his skillful hands kneading, kneading, and rolling the dough with a little lard. The whole irregular piece of dough soon became several rectangular sheets.Just when Zhang Ze thought it was over, he stacked several thin slices together, and began to repeat the previous action until the dough was rolled into a uniform thickness, and then cut into circular blanks with a round mold.

Take out the lotus antler stuffing from the side, put it in the center of the shell, close the mouth tightly, turn it upside down, and cut it into five petals evenly with a knife. This is the shape of the lotus flower that can be seen for the first time. [Note 1] The master chef started to burn the oil at this time, carefully threw the lotus crisps in one by one and fried them on high heat, while pouring hot oil on the lotus hearts with a large spoon.Under the irrigation of hot oil, the petals of the lotus are opened little by little, releasing its beauty to the fullest.Take out the petals when the layers are clear, and put them on a plate with lotus leaves on the edge of the white bottom plate.

The lotus flower crisp is white, and the lotus heart inside is bright pink.Delicate and cute, it looks lifelike, just like the beauty of a lotus pond, ready to bloom.

The master chef finished a whole plate, and when he turned around, he found that there was an extra person next to him.Seeing that Zhang Ze was staring at the lotus cake he made with amazement, he hurriedly invited him to try one.

Zhang Ze was a little flattered, and really wanted to taste the lotus flower crisps with all the flavors and flavors in his heart.But the old master took the initiative to let him taste it, but he was a little bit hesitant.

It's really that the plate arrangement is too exquisite, there are just five of them on one plate, no more, no less, just right, wouldn't it destroy its beauty if he took away one.

"No need, master."

Seeing Zhang Ze's refusal, the old master smiled, took a piece from the plate and handed it to him.

"Let's eat, I've been doing it all morning, and I just met you, a customer who is willing to watch." The old chef said with a slightly lonely expression.

Seeing that everyone handed it over, Zhang Ze nodded gratefully and hurriedly accepted it.

Lotus crisp, as its name suggests, looks like a lotus flower.The master chef's hands are extremely skillful, and the lotus flower cakes he made are so fake that they are real. The flowers are so delicate and beautiful that Zhang Ze can't bear to take a bite.

But seeing the expectant look on his face from the master chef, Zhang Ze still tasted it.

One bite, the aroma of lard combined with the slight sweetness of cotton white sugar, and the crispy dough just out of the pan, it is sweet and delicious, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

A piece of lotus cake is not big, only the size of the fist of a baby who is only a few months old. Zhang Ze finished it in two bites.

"Master, how can there be no one there for such a delicious lotus cake all morning." Zhang Ze was puzzled. Such a delicious pastry, in his opinion, is first-class in both taste and appearance.

The old master sighed and shook his head. He also wanted to ask, what happened to the people nowadays, no one wants to eat the cakes left by the ancestors.The cream cake made by the foreign devils was snapped up by everyone.

"Times have changed, it has changed." The master chef sighed, looking lonely, and picked up the dough on the side and kneaded it silently.

Regardless of whether anyone is willing to eat it, he will continue to do it. After all, it has been passed down from generation to generation and cannot be abandoned here.

"Young man, if you like it, I'll make another one for you."

Seeing that a favorite guest finally came, the master chef didn't want to let him go easily, and wanted him to try his craft again.

Zhang Ze was a little embarrassed, no matter what he said, he couldn't eat for free.

"Master, I'll buy a copy if you pay more."

The old master smiled, "It doesn't cost money, it's not an exhibition today. Our factory manager asked me to do this here, to attract everyone to come and taste it for free, and it doesn't matter who doesn't want to eat."

While the two were talking, Director Wang came over and told Zhang Ze the news he had inquired about, and wanted to ask him if he wanted to go to another place to have a look.

Director Wang was speaking when he smelled a particularly sweet smell.It is the smell of lard boiled at home when I was young, as well as the aroma of frying and the sweetness of pastries.

These three seemingly different smells are intertwined in the air, and the fragrance is overbearing and seductive.

"What's the smell? It smells so good."

Zhang Ze pointed to the plate of lotus cakes, "You mean this."

Director Wang bent over and took a deep breath, "That's right, this is it. What is it, it smells too good."

"Lotus Crisp."

Director Wang licked his lips, looked at the two and asked tentatively, "Can I try one?"

Seeing that he also likes the cakes he made, the master chef was happy, and hurriedly said: "Of course, you can taste it as you like."

Factory Manager Wang smiled gratefully at him, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth like swallowing a jujube whole.The freshly fried lotus cakes were still slightly hot. Director Wang gasped from the heat, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

"It's delicious." Lianhua Crispy, Director Wang, praised him before he could get down his throat. Since there was still something stuffed in his mouth, he was afraid that the master chef would not be able to hear what he was praising him, so he gave him a thumbs up again, and ordered it for sure. nod.

The master chef was even more delighted to see that he liked it, and warmly invited them to eat more.

As a pastry chef, there is nothing more gratifying than someone loving your own pastries.

While several people were talking, a middle-aged man walked in with big strides, his tone a little anxious.

"Xiao Wang, how is business today?"

When Secretary Wang saw his factory manager coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and said nervously, "Factory Manager, it's still the same."

Factory Manager Gao sighed after hearing this, and frowned.

He managed to secure a booth because he valued the high flow of people in the exhibition, and maybe he could attract some people for his own factory. Unexpectedly, it has been set up for two days, and there is no door-to-door business.

Factory Manager Gao was puzzled, the taste of his own pastry is not bad, why no one is willing to come up to try it, he can guarantee that as long as someone eats it, they will definitely feel good.

In order to attract customers, he also specially invited all the master craftsmen from the factory to make their factory's signature snack - Lotus Cake on the spot, but this didn't attract many customers.

When exactly what went wrong, Director Gao was puzzled.At this moment, he raised his eyes and saw that there were two more people in the store. He frowned and looked at Secretary Wang questioningly.

Secretary Wang said helplessly, "They are here to order chocolates."

Factory Manager Gao felt a bit disappointed after hearing this, but he still nodded politely at the two of them.

At any rate, they have added some popularity to their booth, right?

"Director Gao, this customer said he wants to buy some of my pastries."

Seeing the factory manager coming, the master chef happily said to the factory manager that after staying for two days, he was looking forward to his first business.

Director Gao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Zhang Ze.

"You want to buy our pastries." The surprise came so quickly that he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Ze nodded, "It's delicious, I want to buy a few boxes." Take it home and let everyone in the family taste it, maybe Teacher Ye will like it too.

When he heard that he was buying a few boxes, Director Gao's eyes darkened.

It turned out to be a small customer, who probably came here for a trip, and happened to come in and walk around and picked up a few boxes.

But finally a deal came, it was better than being cold all the time.Let's take it as a good start, maybe after selling this one, it will get up later.Director Gao thought to himself, and then he greeted the old master and asked him to give a few more boxes.

The old master nodded, and his subordinates immediately started to get busy.

At this time, two foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes walked over, speaking fluent Chinese.He stopped in front of the booth and took a deep breath exaggeratedly.

"It smells so good, what is this made of?"

As soon as he saw a foreign customer, Director Gao smiled warmly and said hurriedly, "Lotus Cake, a Chinese pastry."

Afraid that people would not understand, he danced and gestured.

"Lotus cake?" the foreigner repeated in a low voice. "Give me a taste."

Director Gao was overjoyed, and was about to ask the master chef to make him a fresh one. The freshly cooked one tastes the best, and this foreigner will definitely like it.

Before Director Gao could speak, another foreigner grabbed his arm and shook his head.

"Their pastries just smell delicious, but they are not delicious at all. They are far from ours."

When Factory Manager Gao heard this, his smile immediately dropped, and even the movement of the master's hands stopped, and he stared at the man angrily.
