The day before Lantern Festival.
Some guests bought some cakes from yupinzhai. After tasting them, they unexpectedly found that the taste of the cakes was very similar to that of qingtingfang!
The same taste, the same delicious!
The difference is just appearance and packaging.
This surprised the customers who bought cakes, and the business of yupinzhai was surprisingly good on this day.
However, in just one day, although many people came, the news spread slowly, far from creating a sensation.
Although business improved, the atmosphere in yupinzhai was worse than usual.
"How can you change the formula? What are you doing?"?! It's ridiculous of you to sell these things! " A teacher Fu pointed to the opposite woman's nose and scolded.
In the face of the elder's rebuke, the woman's face remained unchanged: "facts have proved that the cakes made by qingtingfang are more in line with everyone's taste. I just improved the method. What's wrong?"
"Our craft of making cakes is handed down from generation to generation. Every generation does it, but now you say that the cakes made by our ancestors are not good?" The teacher Fu was so angry that he patted the table, "what's the most important thing in life? You can't forget your roots!"
Woman: "I didn't say that the pastries made by our ancestors were bad. I just thought that since we were tired of the pastries we used to make, why don't we improve the formula and make them more suitable for you..."
Teacher Fu: "shut up! We are a century old brand. Once upon a time, people all over the world were eating our yupinzhai cakes. Our formula is the best and most classic! The Qingting square is just hot because of the new shop. It's not as deep as our foundation! "
The woman sighed and said nothing more.
Sheng Wanqing looked at her thoughtfully: "Molly, how do you know the recipe of these cakes in qingtingfang?"
Molly said coldly: "I figured it out. Didn't you call me from the capital to study the recipe of qingtingfang pastry? I've done more than 50 experiments on this mung bean pastry, and finally made the one with the most similar taste to qingtingfang. However, now it seems that my research is meaningless. Even if you know the recipe of qingtingfang, you are willing to give up the past Do you want to use a new formula? "
Sheng Wanqing pondered. Indeed, even if they knew the recipe of qingtingfang, they could do nothing.
In fact, Sheng Wanqing is not a conservative conservative. She thinks that the things of her ancestors should be sacrosanct and must be passed on without any mistakes.
Besides being a pastry maker, she is also a businessman.
It's not only those who make a good cake that are qualified for the position of home owner.
If you want to change the old recipe of yupinzhai into a new one, you don't just want to change it. You have to go back to your home to hold a family meeting and get the consent of most people.
However, those old masters at home will not agree. To let them change the formula means to let them admit that what they have done for decades is wrong.
There is a more important reason, using the formula of qingtingfang is not the same as indirectly admitting that her yupinzhai is not as good as qingtingfang!
Sheng Wanqing said with a headache: "the formula can't be changed. The taste of yupinzhai is our bottom line. It's a matter of no concession!"
The teacher immediately nodded deeply.
Sheng Wanqing: "but we can't be beaten passively. After all, qingtingfang is not a small shop. The power behind it is no weaker than us. If it grows up in the future, it will definitely become our first-class enemy!"
Yupinzhai pastry masters have long had a deep sense of crisis, "then what should we do?"
Sheng Wanqing: "this matter has to go back to the capital to discuss with the elders of the family."
Molly said: "in fact, the way is very simple. We can improve the current formula and make better cakes than qingtingfang."
As soon as the teachers' faces changed, they heard Sheng Wanqing say, "it's not as simple as what you said. The formula can't be changed if you want to change it. Everyone's definition of delicious food is different. Some people like sour food, while others like sweet food. And the improved formula means that the taste will also change, which is the same as changing the formula. "
The teacher Fu also said: "the taste of yupinzhai is the most authentic taste. Qingtingfang is just a group of wild roads. Mung bean cake with milk is unheard of!"
Molly shook her head. "It's not milk. It's definitely not."
Sheng Wanqing: "no matter what it is, the activities in qingtingfang tomorrow will cause a sensation in the whole city. Let's think about how to attract more business tomorrow."
Everyone was silent and speechless.
At this time, a primary school student behind the teacher Fu said: "that I have an idea, but maybe... "
Looking at it, Sheng Wanqing asked, "what's the idea? You don't have to be afraid to say it, and you won't be blamed for saying it wrong. "
The apprentice nodded and bravely said, "tomorrow's Lantern Festival is the best day for our yupinzhai business in the past, so I think it's better to take the opportunity to sell the same cakes as qingtingfang today."Teacher Fu: "what..."
Sheng Wanqing reaches out her hand to interrupt the teacher Fu and signals the apprentice to continue.
The primary school student swallowed his saliva and said, "I think so. The reason why qingtingfang is so arrogant is that their taste is unique. Now we yupinzhai have figured out their formula and made cakes with the same taste as qingtingfang!"
"From another angle, it's nothing special about qingtingfang. We can easily make your taste! This can not only attract some business, but also suppress the arrogance of qingtingfang by the way, so that they can know that there are people outside and there are mountains outside! "
As soon as everyone's eyes brightened, they didn't think about it in this direction. When they were told by the elementary school students, they suddenly opened up.
Sheng Wanqing laughed: "yes, it's really a good idea! But we have to operate it well. Don't let people think that we have to change our taste after losing to qingtingfang. "
The teachers also nodded: "indeed, the recipe is the most important thing for the pastry master. We have cracked the recipe of qingtingfang. I think it must be a headache for a while. Maybe we will come to the door and ask us to keep the secret recipe. Then we will have the upper hand."
Everyone thought very well, only Molly looked cold.
She was thinking that Xu Qing, the boss of qingtingfang, could make so many new and delicious cakes, which showed that she had extraordinary craftsmanship. Since her yupinzhai could crack the recipe of qingtingfang, could Xu Qing not crack the recipe of her yupinzhai?
