One day in August, Nanyi went to Zhongying Street again and brought back a big bag and a stack of information.

"Dad, what's in your pocket?"

As soon as I returned to Nanzhai, Nan Ruopeng blocked me.

"Open it and see for yourself."

Nan Yi put his pocket on the stone table and started to read the information.

Nan Ruoping opened her pocket and took out a small rectangular box that was well packaged and easy to open. Seeing that there were foreign characters on it, she tried to spell it out, "ta ta dulces".

"It's not Tulsa, it's Tulsa, which is Spanish and means the same as candy."

"This is a foreign candy!"

Nan Ruoping's little eyes sparkled.

"Yes, it's candy. It can only be chewed in your mouth and not swallowed. Did you see the big bubbles on it? You can blow the bubbles."

"oh."

Nan Ruoping tore off the outer wrapping paper, eagerly stuffed a piece of bubble gum into her mouth and chewed it, "Dad, it's sweet, like chewing dough."

"Just chew it in your mouth, don't swallow it. Dad will teach you how to blow bubbles later." Nan Yi said, and also took a piece of bubble gum and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it.

What Nan Yi and Nan Ruobin were chewing in their mouths was the big bubble gum that would be known to everyone in the future and cover many people's childhood memories.

When the chewed bubble gum has lost its taste, Nan Yi uses the tip of his tongue to shape the bubble gum into a cake shape. He puts the tip of his tongue in the middle and applies gentle pressure. The tip of his tongue is wrapped in the bubble gum and he slowly blows air into it. A bubble comes from Nan Yi.

came out of Yi's mouth.

"Wow, daddy, teach me quickly."

Nan Yi opened his mouth slightly and demonstrated the entire procedure to Nan Ruobing.

Nan Ruoping was able to successfully blow bubbles after failing two or three times. It is not difficult to learn to blow bubbles, and you can basically learn it once. If you still can't learn it after a few times, you will never learn it again.

Pah, pah!

Nan Ruoping kept blowing there, and soon she figured out a new way to play, and she had a great time playing.

Nan Yi continued to flip through the information, which contained the manufacturing process of bubble gum, a list of raw material ingredients, and the international price of the raw materials.

There is nothing magical about the production process and raw materials of bubble gum, and the information in Nanyi's hands was not obtained through any special channels. Except for the price of raw materials, other information can be found in the library.

After reading the information, Nan Yi didn’t find it difficult to make bubble gum.

It's nothing more than mixing the various raw materials evenly in a blender, taking them out, pressing them, and packaging them before selling them on the market.

There is no difficulty in production, and the machines are also very easy to install. Mixers, conveyor belts, molding machines, cutting machines, and the last step of packaging are all manual operations. The investment is not big, and the machine can be done for tens of thousands of yuan.

But precisely because nothing is difficult, the added value of bubble gum is very low, and the profit is very thin.

It’s not surprising that when bubble gum became popular in China, there weren’t many competitors. Like cola, it was a product with thin profits and relied on volume to make money.

Lighting a cigarette, Nan Yi began to think deeply.

At two cents a piece, you can make some profit in a few years while the money is still valuable. But when the money is no longer valuable, the profit will be too thin. Bubble gum can only be used to enhance brand influence, not as a pillar product.

After Nan Yi wrote down in his workbook the record of ordering bubble gum production machines from a machinery factory and purchasing production raw materials, he began to think about hawthorn again.

Whether it is fruit peel or hawthorn slices, the production process is very simple.

The previous process is similar. It is nothing more than removing the stems, handles and cores of fresh hawthorns, and then steaming the hawthorns in a steamer; after steaming, add saccharin in a mixer and stir evenly;

After natural solidification, it is cut into the required shape and dried in a dryer, and the finished product is hawthorn slices.

The last step is not to put it in the dryer, but to press it into thin slices, cut it into suitable sizes and roll it up. The finished product is the fruit peel.

At first, hawthorns are cheap, so you can choose hawthorns with better texture as raw materials. When the price of hawthorns rises, you can use hawthorns with relatively poor texture, and adjust the taste through food additives and edible flavors.

The finished hawthorn slices are square, and interesting images, animals, cartoon characters, etc. can be cut out from the middle;

For round ones, you can cut out a square square in the middle, which is called a copper coin hawthorn;

You can also cut out a series of shapes such as triangles and trapezoids, which are called hawthorns for children's enlightenment education.

You can also add some gimmicks, saying that foreign children’s education experts have spent ten years, no, sixty years, no, no, it’s too long and can be easily exposed, let’s say thirty years...

Well, it's still twenty-eight years, and there are zeros and zeros, which sounds more true.

After 28 years of research, experts have found that hawthorn can not only stimulate children's appetite, but also be exposed to geometric shapes from an early age, which can develop children's brains, blah blah...

This is yet to be determined. You need to consult experts in this field to see how to write advertising slogans so that they are plausible, sound reasonable, and not easy for knowledgeable people to debunk.

Anyway, the hawthorn slices should be pressed as thin as possible, and a piece in the middle must be cut out. This can save raw materials, stimulate the enthusiasm of children to buy, and increase the gimmick of fooling parents, killing three birds with one stone.

Fruit peel...

The wrapping paper on the outside can be printed with cartoon characters, Journey to the West, no, let’s wait for a while and wait until Journey to the West is broadcast. As long as the 108 generals of Water Margin are gathered together, you can summon the dragon.

Supply and marketing cooperatives and relatively large consignment stores all display a line of fruit peels in a conspicuous position to seduce little kids and think about them every day.

Each city also has to arrange a virtual store to redeem Shenlong from time to time, further stimulating the consumption desire and enthusiasm of repeated purchases among potential customer groups.

Nan Yi lit up another cigarette and wondered whether he should launch this collection card from the beginning or put it away and talk about it later.

After thinking for a while, he decided to wait until the product was finished and put it on the market to see how the sales went.

Bubble gum, hawthorn slices, and fruit bark are enough for the food factory to have these three products at the beginning. Leave other products for later and add them slowly, step by step.

The waste residue generated during the production process can be made into cheap hawthorn candy for sale, so as not to waste any raw materials.

Nan Yi wrote down all the key points, then reviewed it again. If he found no problems, he put the work manual away and cleared his mind.

Take out a washbasin, pour some warm water into it, then put a small piece of soap in it, crush the soap with your hands, and stir out a little soapy water.

He also pulled out the sorghum stalk from the broom, cut two sections to use as straws, and tried to blow air through his mouth. The air could circulate and the hole in the middle was not blocked.

"Ruobing, come here quickly and blow bubbles."

Nan Yichong was wearing a hat made of lotus leaves. From his face to the catkins exposed outside his clothes, his face was red with black. Nan Ruoping, who had just returned from a long journey, waved.

"Dad, I'm so hot and I want to eat popsicles."

"Why do you suddenly want to eat popsicles? Is there a popsicle seller here?"

"Yeah, right at the door of the brigade headquarters."

"You have money yourself, why don't you buy it?"

"My money is all in the piggy bank and I can't get it out." Nan Ruoping looked at Nan Yi expectantly with her little eyes.

"Haha, what's there?"

"White sugar popsicle, cream ice cream, red bean ice cream."

Nan Yi took out the money from his pocket, calculated it, pulled out a big ticket and handed it to Nan Ruobing, "Go to the brigade headquarters, see who is there, and ask the adults to come forward to find the popsicle seller and buy sixty sticks of white sugar.

Popsicles, sixty ice cream sticks.

Make an announcement and ask every child in the team to get one popsicle and one ice cream. Remember?"

"Remember, I'm going now." The little girl ran out for two steps and then turned back, "Dad, wait until I come back to play with soapy water. Don't play secretly."
