As soon as they heard that the Yan family was alive again, the children were eager to come and they came very quickly.
Yan Yu skillfully assigned tasks to them.
Plant ash, honey locust powder, and dried pollen are still used to calculate work points for children.
Yan Laoer is responsible for lard, sugar and soy flour.
It's the big brother who makes the pig's pancreas, once it's raw and the next time it's ripe.
She only needs to do a good job in quality inspection.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
She slapped her forehead suddenly and remembered the shape.
Appearance is so important. Whether it was made by her family or sold in the store, it has never escaped the circle.
So she decided to make it square!
She has watched videos of making handmade soap before, and she never gets tired of the last step of cutting the soap. The main reason is that the sound is more pleasant, and the soap bar can be cut neatly in one click, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder can be cured.
After thinking about what I had on hand, I'm afraid it might be difficult to remove the mold. Therefore, if I don't consider the long bar of soap, I can only use a small mold like a moon cake to push the soap into the shape of squares.
.
Just do it if you think of it.
She went to find Uncle Qi.
"Uncle Qi Wu, can you help me make a wooden frame as big as this?" Yan Yu gestured.
Qi Wu is painting the beams.
Hearing this, he put down what he was doing and after listening to her detailed request, he picked up some wood on the ground.
It's not a complicated thing, it's just a box. For Qi Wu, it couldn't be easier.
Yan Yu immediately waited to take it away.
He picked up a few pieces from Uncle Qi Wu's discarded wood and took them back.
Fill the wooden frame with the sticky gochujang, making sure that the edges and corners are compacted, and Yan Yu uses a small wooden stick to spread it...
The soft sautee fell to the ground in a slightly square shape.
fail!
Yan Yu knelt down and came face to face with this slightly square piece of sweet potato.
Not discouraged.
Failure is the mother of success. When the mother comes, her son's success will not be far away.
She felt that it was not hard enough.
I still have to wait for the spices to dry some more.
…
At this time, Xiangyizi had been rubbed into balls by Yan Laoer.
After Yan Yu felt it was almost done, he started shaping it for the second time.
She put the ready-made round balls into her small wooden frame, and it turned out to be much richer. The shape of the balls obviously looked much smaller than the regular ones.
Yan Yu was thoughtful.
I am more determined to process it into a square shape.
Repeat the previous steps. This time, the hardness is OK and it is a success.
There was just a small wooden stick mark left on it.
Yan Yu thought of those who make handmade soaps, who like to put a stamp on them...
After looking at the small wooden stick in her hand, she decided to make one too.
Various patterns flashed through my mind.
Secret fragrance!
The color is a bit dark, but the fragrance is delicious.
a ha ha ha!
No, no, it should be "Dark Fragrance Floating Moon Dusk", it's so artistic.
Although it describes plum blossoms, it will probably be adapted to the situation with the scent of plum blossoms.
These two words must be written beautifully.
She thought of Lao Yan first.
Then I thought again, no, my uncle is going to be a high official in the future, so printing words on Xiangjizi seems to be a bit of a loss of status.
It's up to her to do it.
Thinking like this, Yan Yu waved her hand and wrote the word "Secret Fragrance" on the wooden block.
After I finished writing, I realized something was wrong. Do I have to write it backwards?
Scratching your head.
From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the cat lying obediently next to her mother.
After a few steps, he picked up the cat and returned it to its original position.
"Maomao, look at these two words. Please help me scratch them out backwards. Do you understand what they mean? When I print them like this, the words are right side up."
The cat stared at her with amber eyes and licked its paws.
The little meat pad touched the other end of the wooden block.
Yan Yu's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, it's like the words shine through. Is it okay? Is it okay?"
The cat nodded, brushed, and stretched out its sharp nails, ready to scratch it out immediately.
Yan Yu groaned, pinched its small claws, and thought for a while: "Can this wood be carved into stone without any manipulation?"
Maomao nodded again.
Yan Yu picked it up and spun around happily.
One person and one cat began to look for stones all over the ground with their heads down.
Finally I found a long stone that was the right size and comfortable to hold.
Yan Yu added another request: "The Xiangjizi is made into a square shape. If you stamp it, the round shape will look good. You can make it into a round shape for me. Also, let's make an anti-counterfeiting device. You can help me with the edges.
Hidden is the word '闫', don't you understand? I'll write it for you, just this word, you reduce the scale and put it inside the border..."
The cat accurately drew an ellipse as she requested, and the cat's claws scratched the stone as fast as lightning...
When Yan Yu stuffed the fragrant rice balls into the wooden frame again, he felt like the king had returned.
Fight vigorously!
A standard oval mark appears on square sachets.
The two words "secret fragrance" appear on the gray square, which immediately enhances the flavor of the fragrant sauce.
Yan Yu smiled happily and hurriedly showed her parents her hard work.
"Hahaha! This is extra. I use this small wooden frame to make the fragrant rice noodles. It looks like a lot, but it actually saves a lot of money compared to balls. Then I put my carefully crafted brand logo on it. It looks taller, right?
?!"
When Yan Laoer saw the appearance, he slapped his thigh.
"My Dabao! You are considerate of everything. Isn't this what dad wants? The same product must have different characteristics. This is the selling point. This is the reason for selling it at a high price!"
Yan Yu said modestly: "This is just picking up people's wits. It doesn't matter. The key is to save materials. Hehehe, if you can sell one more piece, it will make a lot more money."
The eyes of the two money lovers were all filled with white money.
Li Xuemei said: "Don't take so much at one time. Take a few pieces to explore the way first. What is sold in other stores may not be imported goods. It may be homemade. If they really take it, don't hold on.
Price wise, this shape can be imitated at any time, so it was so novel when I saw it for the first time.”
Yan Yu: "I made anti-counterfeiting measures." She pointed it out to her parents.
Li Xuemei:......
Yan Laoer:......
"Daughter, I can't see clearly, but I can't tell you. This sweet potato of ours...isn't worthy of it!" Yan Laoer told the truth.
Li Xuemei nodded accordingly.
Yan Yu blinked and looked at Fang Fang's fragrant rice noodles.
I think what dad said makes sense.
What she thought at the time was to make it anti-counterfeiting.
It is just a piece of fragrant soap, it will be gone after washing, and it should not bear the weight that it cannot bear.
It’s not like her family is the only one who can do it, so who should we guard against?
She smiled awkwardly: "Well, just scratch it."
Fortunately no one could see clearly.
Xiangjizi is adjusted into squares, and has to withstand the baptism of sunlight and breeze, and be polished by time before it can become a qualified product.
While waiting, something big happened in Huju City.
