"Sister, give it a try!" Although Li Weidong is an obscure street kid, he has nothing to say to his relatives.

In addition, he has been raised with Ding Zhiyuan since he was a child. He eats whatever Ding Zhiyuan eats, and even drank Li Chunmei's milk. Li Chunmei, the eldest sister, is equivalent to more than half of his mother to him.

"I don't want to drink this stuff, it's so spicy." Li Chunmei pushed her brother's hand away, "I can't get used to it if you drink it."

"No!" Li Weidong couldn't help but put the mouth of the bottle into his sister's mouth, and encouraged: "Sister, have a taste. After all, I have a share of credit for this, nephew, don't you think so?"

Ding Zhiyuan: "……."

For the sake of your kindness to me, I will find you a beautiful daughter-in-law as soon as possible in this life. As for the little aunt in the previous life...

Ahem, cough, cough, this... I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later.

Citric acid and sodium bicarbonate react to form sodium citrate, which tastes cool, salty and spicy.

In the first batch of wild jujube juice, the content of sodium citrate is the highest.

Li Weidong offered Li Chunmei a try, but ended up shooting himself in the foot, making Li Chunmei cough so hard that he twisted his ears and turned them several times before she could get rid of her hatred.

Ding Zhiyuan laughed like a pig, "What the hell, I'm asking you to be so attentive for nothing!"

I really thought that diligence was so easy to show, but if I didn’t have any real ability, it would be easy for me to flatter someone and end up in the horse’s lap.

In the end, he chose the two sodas that he thought were the best in flavor and appearance, but he did not give up on the other three selected by Li Chunmei and his brother.

Although he is confident in his own taste, he has been away from this era for too long after all, and he feels that he still needs to respect different opinions.

Relatively speaking, Li Chunmei and his brother understand the tastes of people in this era better. After all, he has been baptized by various drinks in his previous life, and the taste he likes may not necessarily be liked by people today.

In fact, Ding Zhiyuan was not satisfied with these five flavors of soda. Even the two he chose were the best.

In his opinion, there are two major problems with the soda in front of him.

First, the taste is bland. Although the raw jujube juice still tastes good, after adding various ingredients and blending it with more than 20 times the volume of water, a lot of the flavor components of the jujube juice have been lost.

If it is just for self-entertainment, this is fine, but if it is mass-produced and sold, it must be replenished.

However, Ding Zhiyuan only knew that the incense should be replenished, but he had no idea how to replenish the incense and what to use.

He planned to find an opportunity to consult with professionals and ask if jujube essence was available now and where to buy it.

Now I can only make do with it, just make it lighter. As a healthy drink, the original flavor is best.

Second, the color difference is obvious. The concentrated wild jujube juice is bright red, bright and shiny, while the soda is dark and light red in color, giving people a strong "cheap feeling".

Therefore, Ding Zhiyuan planned to add an appropriate amount of indigo and carmine to the soda to improve its color.

Appearance equals combat effectiveness. Products that are pleasing to the eye will definitely sell more expensively and better than ugly products.

Indigo and carmine are both food colorants allowed to be used in China, and Ding Zhiyuan used them without any psychological pressure.

But these two things are a bit difficult to get, and they are rarely sold in general places, so Ding Zhiyuan plans to go out and look for them in the afternoon.

The best you can buy, if you can’t buy it, you can only make do with it.

In fact, Ding Zhiyuan also wants to add some caffeine to it. Caffeine affects adenosine receptors, which are very close to dopamine receptors, which can gradually enhance the effect of dopamine and make people feel happy.

In life, caffeine-added products can be found everywhere, including but not limited to Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Red Bull, tea drinks and various energy drinks.

But caffeine is a controlled substance, so it is difficult for individuals to buy it.

Therefore, Ding Zhiyuan had no choice but to give up this idea for the time being and wait until there is a chance to talk about it later.

According to the numbers on the bowl, sort out the selected five flavor soda recipes and write them down in your notebook.

This is his treasure, and he will count on making money from this data in the future!

However, Ding Zhiyuan also knew that the so-called formula he tested was actually far from perfect.

A drink recipe like this basically needs to be tested hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

He just set several sets of raw material ratios based on his own experience and memory, and then used interpolation to calculate 24 formula data.

However, often a slight change in the content of a certain ingredient can lead to huge changes in smell, taste, texture, and color.

Anyone who has studied calculus knows that the more "micro" the "point" is, the closer the result will be.

By analogy, the more combinations of ingredients in the formula and the more tests, the easier it is to select a good formula.

But in reality, this is simply impossible, because the ingredient content is a continuous data that can be divided infinitely, but it cannot exhaustively list all ingredient combinations.

In fact, formula research is a very complicated task that requires the use of orthogonal design, fuzzy mathematics and other methods.

Ding Zhiyuan is anxious to make money, but he doesn't have that much energy or patience to study.

Anyway, with just one vote, I almost got it.

Besides, as long as the publicity is good, even if it’s a piece of shit, some people will be willing to eat it.

After eating it, I licked my lips and said, "It smells really good!"

The three of them were all very tired. After a hasty lunch, they finished the morning together and cleaned up inside and out.

"Mom, please do me a favor." Ding Zhiyuan felt deeply that he was short of manpower, so he turned to his own mother.

"Let's grind jujube powder, okay? It's hot anyway, so I can't do much work during the day, so I have nothing to do." Li Chunmei agreed with a smile.

Ding Zhiyuan is a piece of flesh that fell off her body. As soon as he sticks out his butt, she knows what color of shit he wants to poop.

Her parents' family had a stone mill for grinding grain, and they also had a medicine grinder at home. The tools were all complete. She thought about it and called her mother. They spent the past two days grinding the dried jujubes at home into powder.

"What about me, what about me." Li Weidong looked at his nephew longingly.

"You?" Ding Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, "Pack up your clothes and follow me to the county seat."

Ding Zhiyuan originally wanted Li Weidong to stay and help his mother grind jujube powder, but if he didn't watch, this guy would definitely not work hard.

Li Chunmei, the eldest sister, was reluctant to let her younger brother suffer, so she simply took him with her and disciplined him well.

"What else do you need to pack up? Let's leave now!" When he heard about going to the county seat, Li Weidong was more positive than Ding Zhiyuan.

Li Chunmei asked: "Why go to the county town?"

Ding Zhiyuan said: "This soda still needs a few ingredients. We don't have them at home. I'll go to the town to check first, but they may not be available in the town."

"Then I'll get you some money." After Li Chunmei said that, she turned around and entered the house.

Ding Zhiyuan grabbed her and said, "Mom, I'm rich."

"Where did you get the money?" Li Chunmei looked unbelieving, "It's okay, it's a bit difficult for me, but I don't need that little money."

Ding Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, I'm really rich. You forgot, I save all the New Year's money every year, as well as royalties."

In fact, his New Year's money and manuscript fees combined over the years are not small, but he is used to spending money lavishly, buying books, snacks, sneakers, and going out for toothpaste every now and then, so that now he only has more than a hundred yuan left.

This amount of money was a drop in the bucket compared to the famine debt owed by his family, and it was not enough to pay for college, so he didn't bother to mention it to Li Chunmei.

"Is it enough?" Li Chunmei was doubtful, "If it's not enough, I'll give you some more. Don't worry, Mom still has some money."

Li Weidong interjected: "No, I'll go back to my mother and order some more..., eldest sister, eldest sister, don't fight, it's not okay if I don't want it!"

Li Chunmei let Li Weidong go, but warned: "The boss is no longer young, and he still has the nerve to ask for money from my mother! If you need money, tell me, and I will give it to you."

Li Weidong was really about to cry now. He shook his head vigorously with red eyes: "Sister, I'm not short of money. No, although I am short of money, I can't ask for it from anyone but you!

If I do this, I..., I will fucking look down on myself!"

Ding Zhiyuan: "……."

Damn it, this guy Li Weidong is quite sensational, Ding Zhiyuan can't stand listening anymore.

Go back to the room, take out all the money, push out the bicycle and call Li Weidong out.

As expected, the supply and marketing cooperative in the town didn't find what he was looking for.

If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t sell anything, it’s even less likely to be sold elsewhere.

Although Ding Zhiyuan really wanted to find a place to drink a bottle of soda and take a break, but looking at the height of the sun, he still held back.

He raised his arm and wiped his sweat casually, and said to Li Weidong: "Go to the county seat."

Li Weidong asked: "How to get there? You don't know how to ride a bicycle, right?"

Two people riding a bicycle to the county seat is scary just thinking about it.

Not far from the supply and marketing cooperative is the health station, and Ding Zhiyuan decided to put his bicycle at the health station.

Almost everyone at the health station knows Ding Mingxin, and naturally they also know Ding Mingxin’s son.

I took the shuttle bus and arrived at the county seat. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

The latest bus back to Xianhua Town is at 6:30 in the evening. If you want to make it back today, you must make a quick decision.

First, I went straight to the county supply and marketing cooperative, but the result was exactly the same as the situation I encountered at the town supply and marketing cooperative. The salesperson didn't know everything I asked, and even looked impatient after asking too many questions.

Li Weidong was impatient, tired and thirsty, and immediately became angry. He rolled up his sleeves and asked the saleswoman to order some colors.

Ding Zhiyuan was afraid that he would be invited to drink tea by the police uncle, so he quickly pulled him out.

Li Weidong stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and cursed.

Ding Zhiyuan was a little helpless towards this little uncle. It wasn't worth beating him for this little thing, so he had no choice but to drag him away from this place of right and wrong.

"Why are you pulling me?" Li Weidong said dissatisfied, "If you didn't stop me, I would have beaten that old woman's face to pieces!"

"Then you go." Ding Zhiyuan let go, "If you go, don't even think about making money with me."

"Forget it, adults don't remember the faults of villains, and good men don't fight with women." Li Weidong immediately wilted, and then said with a bitter face: "No, what on earth do you want to buy? Do you have to use those things?"
