Draining.Draining.The drizzle outside the window is still ringing endlessly, falling lightly on the eaves and the ground, outlining the outline of the world, but narrowing the world to the eaves through the rain curtain, the warmth and tranquility of the room are surging in the fragrance of tea, which makes people relax.Hoden's thoughts couldn't help but extend along Ms.
Joanna's words—Iwabuchi has tea and coffee, but whether it is tea or coffee, the way of eating it is far less than the earth model that Hoden is familiar with.Tea alone, whether it is jasmine tea or January embers, is actually tea foam, in short, it is equivalent to a tea bag on the earth.But for Hodden, who was born in a water town in southern China, this is an unbearable way to drink tea.To be precise, tea foam cannot be said to be "tea tasting" at all.Hodden himself could not have been considered a tea lover, after all, there are too many temptations for young people - and who can refuse the bombardment of milk tea and cola?
Carbonated drinks are as attractive as alcohol.Having said that, from childhood to adulthood, Holden still has some basic level of tea tasting.Jasmine tea is the equivalent of flower tea, while January embers are closer to white tea, but they are currently tea foam, and it is difficult to taste the true taste by brewing it.If you use the method of boiling tea, and then divide the tea - that is, similar to the way of coffee latte art, use the tea foam to paint in the process of brewing, depicting the appearance of the landscape, wind and moon, and then add sugar or milk according to everyone's preference, or keep the original taste, then you can also taste some charm.However, it is too esoteric and too troublesome to brew tea, and Holden himself is only seven or six tricks, and it takes a quiet state of mind to be able to taste the taste carefully; Second, making tea requires professional tea sets, which Iwabuchi does not have, and Holden has no interest in entering the pottery industry for the time being.Therefore, compared with tea foam, it is more straightforward to replace it with tea leaves.Of course, it is also because Hoden prefers full blades.If Jasmine Tea and January Ember can find the whole tea leaves, it only takes a simple brewing step to really bring out the aroma of the tea leaves.Holden once complained to Ms.
Joanna, but this is the current way of drinking tea among the nobles of the Leia Empire, and it is difficult for civilians to change their concepts, after all, "even the nobles drink like this", and Ms.
Joanna has no intention of breaking the rules.Unexpectedly, Ms.
Joanna brought it up again today.So, is it something to look forward to?"
Hodden, would you like to take a stake and work with me?"
Ms.
Joanna's voice came slowly in the rustling rain, like smoke, breaking the original rhythm of the conversation, and slightly abrupt.Holden, who was in a lazy state, didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "Of course it's good."
Does this mean that I can snack for free in the future?
”After saying that, Horden himself couldn't help but laugh."
That's not good, even if it's a shareholder, you have to keep accounts, otherwise, the whole store will be empty by you."
Ms.
Joanna said seriously.Hodden also laughed, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's right, then it's deducted from the bonus." ”"Okay.So, what do you think of the two-percent bonus?
”Ms.
Joanna said cheerfully.At this time, Hordon also noticed the abnormality and was in no mood for joking."
Miss Joanna."
Hoden opened his eyes and sat up straight at the same time, the soles of his feet falling to the ground again, "Are you serious?"
”Ms.
Joanna nodded rightly, "Of course I'm serious.If the 20% bonus is not enough, then I can't help it, this is the upper limit of what I can accept, after all, ...... "" and so on.Wait a minute!
”Holden raised his hand to stop Ms.
Joanna, "I didn't mean that, I mean ......"
Could it be that seeing Holden so flustered and a little incoherent, it was mainly because he really didn't expect to be killed by surprise, but after the chaos, he calmed down, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I think the two percent bonus is too much." ”Seeing that Ms.
Joanna was about to continue talking, Horden stopped the other with his eyes."
But the more important reason is that I can't."
Howlen took the lead in taking a stand, "Ms.
Joanna, you have worked hard to run this shop yourself, and you have done a good job, very good!"
I don't see it at all, you need to seek cooperation, let alone my cooperation. ”Ms.
Joanna, is a widow.Her husband and two sons, all of whom died in the "Grey Cliff Explosion" fifteen years ago – like the Helo brothers' parents, was one of the reasons they quickly became closer.This sweet house, which was once created especially for his wife by Ms.
Joanna's husband, not only to satisfy his wife's hobbies and desires to make sweets, but also to make a living, the gentleman willingly stood behind the scenes, wholeheartedly supporting his wife in realizing this little dream.The entire family was buried in the disaster, but Ms.
Joanna, who remained in Iwabuchi, escaped, not knowing whether it was luck or misfortune.But after that, Ms.
Joanna just kept to her dessert house and persevered alone.In a flash, fifteen years have passed.This is the brainchild of Ms.
Joanna, and at the same time Ms.
Joanna's life.Hodden was serious, he never thought that Miss Joanna would seek cooperation; I didn't think that she would seek her own cooperation."
Hoden."
A gentle smile appeared in Ms.
Joanna's eyes, "You are a kind child. ”Kindness?
Holden's cheeks were a little hot, and he would never describe himself like that."
Listen to my proposal before you decide, okay?"
Lady Joanna was not in a hurry, and gently asked for advice, and looked for Howlen's consent with her eyes before speaking."
Now that the living space of handicraft workshops is getting smaller and smaller, you know, desserts and snacks for assembly line operations are gradually seizing the market.I don't have any ambitions, I don't want to make a lot of money, but I still want to be able to run this place, that's the only thing I want. ”Behind the simple and plain words, there was too much emotional weight revealed, and Holden did not open his mouth to interrupt Ms.
Joanna."
Last month, a factory actually came to ask if I would like to sell those recipes or work with them to make desserts and snacks in bulk.I refused. ”There was no excessive description, but Holden had already understood the aftermath of industrialization from the history books of the earth, and he could understand where Lady Joanna was now.Looking back at this time, Ms.
Joanna accepted Holden's proposal to renovate the packaging and make the fruit juice candy, probably because of those proposals.The crisis has arrived.()
