Chapter 192 Mi Mochi
Mao Xi paused, saying that there was no way to do this, but these old shopkeepers didn't know how to adapt, so they were allowed to sell drinks together in the shop, but they all looked a little reluctant.
Since I own a drink shop, I might as well lend a hand, which can be considered as a way to leverage on my strength.
"Co-branded items! President Zhou, I have a Yinzi Sweets Shop, and I can make joint-branded treats with all the bakery shop owners."
"Co-branded money? What do you mean by this?" President Zhou asked puzzledly.
"Every shopkeeper, each of your shops has its own signature food, right?"
"There are some!"
The shopkeepers listed their favorite cakes one after another.
Shopkeeper Huang’s is Bazhen cake, Shopkeeper Jin’s is peanut glutinous rice cake, and Shopkeeper Xiang’s is hand-made cake.
Mao Xi told everyone about the idea of a joint product: "This joint product means that when I sell sugar water, I will pair it with your pastries to become a new sugar water."
"New sugar water? I'd like to hear the details!" Boss Jin seemed to have heard some clues.
Mao Xi took a pen and paper, drew a bowl of sugar water, and then drew glutinous rice cakes in the sugar water.
Shopkeeper Jin shook his head slightly and said with some confusion: "Shopkeeper Liu, if you put this glutinous rice cake directly into the sugar water, it might be difficult to swallow, right?"
"Shopkeeper Jin, don't worry. Before the glutinous rice cake is kneaded into a ball and covered with peanuts or soybean flour, it is still a cake. Shopkeeper Xiang also makes hand-made cakes in a similar way."
The incense shopkeeper nodded: "Let's put it this way, Lao Jin, our pancakes are actually the same, they are all glutinous rice cakes."
Mao Xi drew another big pot with some glutinous rice cakes in it.
Shopkeeper Jin: "You said you cooked these glutinous rice cakes?"
"Exactly, cakes and glutinous rice cakes have the same goal. In fact, they are both glutinous rice and mochi. I boil it into a liquid and smokable ingredient, and add it to milk tea for sale."
Boss Jin: "This is a good idea, but what does 'joint signature' mean?"
There was no ready-made sugar water around to display directly, so Shu Xi had some difficulty in explaining.
She continued to draw a new bamboo cup on the paper and wrote the words "Liu/Jin" on the cup.
"Shopkeeper Jin, your peanut glutinous rice cake is a time-honored brand. I will put the names of our two brands on the cups that sell milk tea, so that people can enjoy the food of both companies as long as they spend one share."
Boss Jin clapped his hands and applauded: "This is a good idea, but they are all added with mochi. How can you tell whether they are from the Jin family or the Xiang family?"
"This is simple. Shopkeeper Jin's rice cakes have crushed peanuts, so I sprinkle them on the milk tea; Shopkeeper Xiang's hand-made cakes have soybean powder, so I sprinkle soybean powder on the milk tea."
Shopkeeper Xiang stood up and praised: "Miaoye, shopkeeper Mianxi, this kills two birds with one stone. If you need my cooperation in the mochi ingredients, please feel free to ask."
Shopkeeper Huang on the side was anxious: "Your mochi can be co-branded, how can I add milk tea to my Bazhen cake?"
"If Shopkeeper Huang doesn't mind, you can bundle the Bazhen Cake with my milk tea and make a milk tea set."
Shopkeeper Huang immediately slapped his thigh and decided: "Okay! Just do as shopkeeper Liu said, and I will sell my Bazhen cake at the best price together with your...that pearl milk tea."
After discussion, the other two shopkeepers decided to take home-made rice mochi to Mao Xi's candy shop every day.
"Shopkeeper Jin, Shopkeeper Xiang, your shop's signature name needs to be affixed on the candy shop, and I need to trouble you to send the fonts."
President Zhou saw that the bakery's problem had finally been solved. He immediately set up a table at his house and wanted to invite everyone to dinner, but Mao Xi declined politely.
She still likes to go back to the shop and eat with the cooks.
Miss Zhou also returned to the house. She invited Shu Xi into the room to discuss the marketing of the coffee shop.
Miss Zhou brought a new filtering tool: "Mao Xi, this is the yellow paper filter coffee that has become popular in Beidu recently. You can take some and use it. It tastes better than gauze filtering."
When Mao Xi took a look, wasn't this just a coffee filter?
Sure enough, if there is consumption, there will be research.
She thanked Ms. Zhou, returned to the shop, opened the virtual mall, and found that the mall could already buy coffee filters, so she bought 500 of them and gave them to the waiter in the shop.
After the joint-branded milk tea plan was approved by the Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeepers of several cake shops sent mochi over the next day.
Mao Xi prepared it on the spot. Not only did he put a co-branded paper on the cup, he also specially wrote the name of the new mochi milk tea with a charcoal pen outside the shop.
"Today's limited edition, Peanut Rice Mochi Milk Tea, Soybean Flour Rice Mochi Milk Tea, a cup of 12 Wen, you can suck the mochi."
The shouting attracted some curious people.
Some tried to order one. The mochi was sucked into the mouth through a straw, and it was chewy and chewy. There were also some crushed peanuts in the mouth, accompanied by the strong fragrance of milk tea. After drinking it, they felt a strong sense of satisfaction and fullness. feel.
"Shopkeeper, your mochi tastes really good, but it's just a bit full."
Ma Xi joked: "Sir, I've put two portions of mochi here. If you want to eat glutinous rice cakes in the future, you don't have to buy them specially. You can just buy my rice mochi milk tea!"
When the diner heard this, he felt that he had indeed made a profit, and he felt his stomach with satisfaction and left.
"Sister, Ajiao also wants to eat rice mochi milk tea!" Sister Ajiao stretched out her fleshy little hand.
Mao Xi immediately prepared a bowl of rice mochi milk tea for her sister.
"Remember to rinse your mouth after eating, otherwise you will get tooth decay."
Ajiao took the bowl of sugar water and Gulu Gulu drank all the milk tea first, then used a spoon to beat the mochi and started to bite it.
Seeing that her sister seemed to be grabbing the glutinous rice mochi with her hands, Ma Xi stepped forward and grabbed Ajiao's little hand: "Forget it, I'll feed you. I've only been out of sight for a few seconds, and you have to use your hands again."
Mao Xi fed Ajiao with a spoon, and she ate happily and kept smiling at Mao Xi.
When Xiaodouzi came back from school, he saw his sister eating and asked for a bowl from Mian Xi, then started eating on his own.
Unexpectedly, the mochi was so sticky that one of Xiaodouzi's loose lower teeth was stuck.
"Sister, I lost a tooth."
"Go rinse your mouth quickly."
This was not the first time Xiaodouzi had lost his teeth. He didn't cry. After rinsing his mouth, he washed his teeth and played with them by himself.
Upon seeing this, Mao Xi took Xiaodouzi outside and said, "Xiaodouzi, what you lost is your lower tooth. Remember to throw the tooth to the roof, the lower teeth grow fast."
Mao Xi has heard from the old people in the village since she was a child that when teeth are lost, the lower teeth should be thrown on the roof and the upper teeth should be thrown under the bed. She has always done this.
"Sister, I'm going to find a higher house and throw it on the roof of our new house."
Xiaodou took his lower teeth and ran home. His sister Ajiao seemed to have heard something interesting, and followed Xiaodouzi in a hurry.
"Brother, wait for me, let me throw it!"
