Chapter 346: The Bitter Sweetness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The cocoa beans were very small and there was no machine specially used to peel them. There were eight baskets of cocoa beans. Everyone worked together and took an hour to peel them all.

Seeing that Bai Wutong was busy with the children and there were many people around, everyone secretly ate a cocoa bean and was dissuaded by the bitter taste.

As a fanatical fan of Bai Wutong, Yang Quanzi quite liked it. The bitter taste had a hint of sweetness on the tip of his tongue, rich and mellow. He even felt that he was like Bai Wutong and had good taste.

After the cocoa beans were all peeled, it was time for the critical step of making chocolate.

Previously, in order to make it easier to grind meat, Bai Wutong specially asked Zhao Yuan to make a blender for her.

With a little adjustment of the blender, she could blend the cocoa beans by hand.

However, before that, she had to crush the cocoa beans first.

Bai Wutong first crushed a few handfuls of cocoa beans. Then, she placed the beans in the blender and quickly blend them.

After a while, the cocoa beans turned into dark coffee-colored chocolate syrup with the high-speed blending.

Everyone craned their necks and found it strange. Even though Bai Wutong had turned the cocoa beans into liquid, the taste was still bitter.

When the servants brought up a few bags of white sugar, everyone realized that they were going to put sugar in them.

To children, sugar was a delicious delicacy. The moment they saw the white sugar, they cheered excitedly.

Bai Wutong added a large amount of white sugar to the mixer and stirred it until it was as delicate and sticky as pulp. Bai Wutong smiled at Chu Tianbao. ‘You can pour it out now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of different chocolate molds were brought up.

There were mould that looked like Xiaobai, Stinky, Little Cat, and Tiger…

Bai Wutong poured half of the chocolate liquid into the mold, added a nut, and poured in the chocolate liquid again to cover it.

The chocolate in the mold was placed in the shade and gradually solidified under everyone’s expectant gazes.

Bai Wutong took some more cocoa beans and ground them into cocoa powder. She also used green tea to make some green tea powder.

Bai Wutong first took out the entire tray of chocolate. She had made two flavors of the chocolate, original and sweet.

Original flavors can be used to make chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate ice cream, chocolate macchiato, and so on.

The tray of chocolate with sugar was directly broken off and shared with everyone.

The soil-like chocolate pulp suddenly turned into candy. The children licked the corners of their mouths hungrily.

Even the adults who had not been optimistic about the chocolate were very curious if it would really taste good after adding sugar.

Soon, the chocolates in the other molds were also taken out by Bai Wutong. There were all kinds of cute chocolates and they were very likable.

Stinky’s drool was almost falling on Lin Yue. He had a look of disdain just now, but now, it was really fragrant.

For the sake of aesthetics, Bai Wutong specially placed the cute chocolate on a plate and sprinkled matcha and cocoa powder evenly on the chocolate.

Against the exquisite plate, the originally cute chocolate looked even more high-end.

Moreover, it was very tempting.

Stinky tugged at Bai Wutong’s sleeve and blinked his round grape-like eyes, as if to say, “If you don’t give it to Stinky, Stinky will snatch it.”

Bai Wutong chuckled and let him choose his favorite chocolate. Then, she asked everyone to distribute the freshly made chocolate to the children.

Stinky picked the chocolate that looked like Xiaobai and wanted to bite Xiaobai’s ear, but he could not bear to.

Xiaobai was so cute. How could he eat Xiaobai?

Bai Wutong was very satisfied with the chocolate she had made. She picked up a strawberry- shaped chocolate and brought it to Chu Tianbao’s mouth. Chu Tianbao took a bite without hesitation. The chocolate seemed to come alive and quickly melted in his mouth. The texture was delicate and sweet, and it was just the right amount of bitterness. It made people want more. The nuts inside also added a crisp texture and complemented the chocolate perfectly.

Chu Tianbao liked sweet food to begin with. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

When Chu Tianbao took a bite, no one hesitated anymore. Stinky also bit off Xiaobai’s ear.

In an instant, everyone exclaimed.

This was too delicious.

It was smooth and fragrant, and they almost bit their tongues off.

Auntie Yang said happily, “I was wondering what it would taste like if sugar was added to such bitter cocoa beans. Turns out that it’s so delicious!”

There was sweetness in the bitterness. It was like the aftertaste of life.

Yang Quanzi ate one piece and wanted to eat a second piece. He looked at Bai Wutong eagerly, more like a child than a child.

Although there were eight baskets of cocoa beans, there was actually very little chocolate that could be made.

Bai Wutong distributed the chocolate to the children and had even fewer left.

Moreover, it was not only Yang Quanzi who wanted to eat it. There were also many people who had not tasted it. When they saw everyone praising the chocolate, they also wanted to eat it.

The other Patriarchs of the 30 families of Qinghe even suggested spending money to buy a few pieces from Bai Wutong to try.

Many children regretted not picking the cocoa fruits with Madam Bai. If they had also picked the fruits, they would have been able to eat delicious chocolate.

There were only so many of them, so it was definitely not evenly distributed. Bai Wutong did not give it to everyone. Chu Tianbao and Stinky liked it so much, so she naturally had to keep it for them.

Everyone could tell that Bai Wutong was unwilling to split it anymore, so they could only spend a lot of money to buy it from the children who had received the chocolate.

They offered a high price. Many children sold the chocolate under the persuasion of their parents and cried sadly.

There were only a few pieces in total. They did not know when they could eat them in the future.

Cui Shize treated Little Cat very well, so he handed a piece to Cui Shize. Cui Shize stroked his head, indicating that he had already tried it and let him eat slowly.

Cui Shize refused to take it. Little Cat looked at Tao Yinzhen, who had become much thinner in the crowd. When he met her expectant gaze, Little Cat walked over and brought the chocolate in front of her again.

On the day Little Cat was picked up by Cui Shize, Tao Yinzhen felt deep despair. She no longer dared to hope for something that did not belong to her. She only hoped that her son could forgive her.

Her son was finally willing to care about her and even gave her precious chocolate.

Tao Yinzhen picked up the fruit in her mouth with trembling hands. The bitter sweetness mixed with the tears she had left behind, making it unforgettable.

Everyone liked chocolate very much. Many people even picked up their tools and immediately looked for the cocoa fruits that their children had not.

If they could find some back, they would be able to eat chocolate according to the method taught by Bai Wutong. If they made more, they could even sell it to others.

Such exquisite and stunning snacks also made Sheng Huaixuan want to sell chocolate.

Such snacks that were loved by all ages could definitely be sold for a high price.

Moreover, cocoa fruits only grew in the southern frontier and could also become the unique economic source of income of their Carefree City..
