Chapter 670: Chapter 675: New Flavor_1
Ever since Duo’er mentioned the idea of selling roasted snacks, she had started preparing. Over the past few days, she made salt-flavored, five-spice, and caramel-flavored melon seeds and peanuts, but she wasn’t sure if others would like these flavors.
Her most trusted person was Qiao Duo’er, so she sent some for her to try.
Unconsciously, she had come to see Qiao Duo’er as a leader, following her suggestions without question.
Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong tasted each one, the caramel flavor was stunning, while the other two were fairly standard, but that was already enough.
"These will definitely sell, the sweet-flavored melon seeds will be very popular."
Qiao Duo’er gave a thumbs-up.
With that, Hu’s Clan’s hanging heart finally settled back into her stomach: "Now I can rest easy."
"By the way, I’ve tasted a kind of melon seeds with a milk flavor before, it seems they soak the seeds in milk for a while then add five-spice for frying, but I’m not exactly sure about the details."
Qiao Duo’er offered a hint, and the rest was up to Hu’s Clan, since that was all she knew.
The production process of the milk-flavored melon seeds was complex, and not easy for others to replicate, giving Hu’s Clan the opportunity to capture more market share.
Hu’s Clan noted this down seriously, thinking she must research it when she got back home.
After seeing off Hu’s Clan, Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but sigh.
"I think there’s something toxic about your family, pushing out good people and keeping a collection of misfits that are no good for anything."
Once Hu’s Clan’s business took off, the Tan Family Members would surely be green with regret.
Now the Tan Family was in complete disarray, with the eldest in prison following a divorce, the second giving half of his property to a future worthless brother-in-law, and the third, known as Third Boss, still being useless.
At this rate, the Tan Family would soon vanish from this world.
Tan Zhenghong said with a wry smile, "What can I say?"
Because his wife was speaking an undeniable truth.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Qiao Duo’er consoled Tan Zhenghong.
Both their original families were bitter memories, but she wasn’t the original person, she didn’t care about those people and events.
But it was different for Tan Zhenghong; he had always been him, always brooding over being abandoned.
"No matter, I can withstand this much of a blow," Tan Zhenghong said with a smile.
He wasn’t alone now, what was there to fear?
Qiao Duo’er nodded, but she didn’t continue the topic; just because someone didn’t care didn’t give one a reason to reopen old wounds.
At night, the two of them had much to do besides talking, such as reading discordant books or engaging in discordant activities, feeling as though there was never enough time.
Hu’s Clan surprised Qiao Duo’er because she brought the finished product over the next evening.
After returning home the day before, she pondered over the milk-flavored melon seeds and went to buy milk in town first thing in the morning. She then spent the entire day experimenting in the kitchen.
After several attempts, she felt that soaking in milk for four hours, then adding a small amount of five-spice powder and fine salt, gave the best flavor.
"It’s about this flavor, you are so talented!"
Qiao Duo’er didn’t skimp on her thumbs-up.
She had just casually mentioned it, hoping that Hu’s Clan would tinker with it when she had time; she didn’t expect it to be done so quickly.
Indeed, everyone has their place in this world; finding the right one is the key to happiness.
Hu’s Clan said modestly, "It’s not that I’m skilled, I’m just lucky."
In truth, she had had no expectations before coming, but was delighted that Qiao Duo had immediately confirmed her skill, giving her confidence for when she’d sell them.
It wasn’t that Qiao Duo’er was picky, but she had that level of ability.
