Dove chocolate evolved from ice cream. Dove Dove is the abbreviation of "Do you love me?" It is a tender love inquiry. This is the founder Leon reminding the world that there is a lover. If you love him or her, please let the person you love know in time, remember your deep love and don't give up.
1.1965438+in the spring of 2009, the royal family of Luxembourg.
Leon, a boy of 18 years old, has been working in the royal kitchen for four years continuously, because he has been soaked in water all day, and his hands have many cracks. Finally a little free, Lai Changxing sat at the door and scrubbed the wound with salt water.
"hello! It hurts! " A thin voice floated gently into Lai Changxing's ear.
Leon looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a girl standing in the sun.
The girl came over generously and stared at Lai Changxing's finger, frowning slightly in love.
"This is too unsanitary, the wound is easy to become inflamed, and it should be scrubbed with drugs."
This girl is Princess Bazaar who later influenced Leon's life.
2. Princess Fair
Princess Bazaar is not a member of the royal family. She is a distant relative of the Bourbon family and was brought here by Prince Felix because she was helpless. She has no position in the royal family and has no chance to taste royal food. A rare delicacy-ice cream, can only be seen from a distance. Princess Bazaar was 15 years old.
3. Leon's budding love
In the royal family, no one has ever cared about Lyon except the relatives who brought him in, let alone the princess. Her brief greeting gave him a warm illusion. Once, Lai Changxing was busy with his work. When he turned his head, he suddenly found a head poking around at the kitchen door. When the other person met Lai Changxing's eyes, he waved to him happily. That's the princess market. She stuffed Lai Changxing with a piece of cloth and left in a panic. Lai Changxing opened the cloth bag and found that there was healing ointment inside. That night, Lai Changxing was lying in bed, and Bazaar was frowning because of love. What an understanding girl! Her heart is warm and sweet.
4. Ice cream gifts
On his birthday, an earl will hold a small banquet in the palace. The ice cream cone at the banquet was just popular at that time, and it became the favorite dessert of young princesses and princes. In fact, Bazaar also likes ice cream, but this rare food is not her turn. Lai Changxing began to try to make ice cream for her.
One night, Lai Changxing sneaked into the kitchen. After a while, he made an orange ice cream. Bazaar tasted the sweet and smooth ice cream, and her face was intoxicated, as if she had fallen into some beautiful memories. Later, she told Lai Changxing softly that her mother was an imaginative woman who liked to make ice cream of various flavors for her when she was alive. Lai Changxing suddenly realized that there was a memory of Bazaar's mother in the ice cream. Besides, since her mother is English and Bazaar is also proficient in English, she often teaches Lai Changxing simple English, which seems to help her relive her memories of her mother.
Since then, Lai Changxing has often prepared various flavors of ice cream for Bazaar. Many starry nights, they taste delicious ice cream and let the sweetness of love linger in their hearts. However, due to the differences in status and circumstances, none of them said their love in their hearts, but buried it silently.
5. Sad hot chocolate can't keep love.
Once, Bazaar had a whim and said, "Lai Chang, would chocolate be better in ice cream?" Bazaar's wish is Lai Changxing's motivation, and he has a new goal: chocolate ice cream. How to make chocolate melt into ice cream, which tastes the best, bothers him. Just as he was thinking hard, a news blew into the Luxembourg Palace like an evil wind.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the status of Little Luxembourg in Europe was very low, and from time to time it was proposed to abolish the royal privilege. In order to find a backer and allies, Luxembourg established an economic alliance with neighboring Belgium in 192 1 year. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage became the best way, and the chosen person was Princess Bazaar. The news suddenly exploded in the chef's kitchen, and Lai Changxing, who was burying his head in preparing chocolate ice cream, felt his heart twitch violently.
For three days in a row, Princess Bazaar didn't appear at the dinner table. Worried Lai Changxing is looking forward to Wednesday night, because they agreed to make chocolate ice cream together. But that night, Bazaar stood me up and didn't show up until the ice cream on Laichang's plate completely melted. Lai Changxing felt a heartbreaking pain.
Bazaar has been in Lai Changxing's sight for a month. That afternoon, he happened to see Bazaar at the dinner table. She lost a circle, and the whole person looked a lot haggard. At the moment she saw Lai Changxing, two bright lights appeared in generate's eyes, which stung Lai Changxing's heart like a sword. He wanted to rush over, grab Bazaar's hand and question her, hoping that she would tell herself that everything was false and that she would not marry him because he was the one she really loved. But he is a servant and she is a noble princess. Lai Changxing can't confirm her love.
On this day, Lai Changxing's dessert for the princess and prince is still ice cream. Because the real chocolate ice cream has not been made successfully, he used his quick wits to write a few English letters "DVOE" directly on Bazaar's ice cream with hot chocolate. This is the abbreviation of do you love me? He believes that if Bazaar has a heart, she will read his mind. Lai Changxing stared nervously at Bazaar, watching the letters on the ice cream turn to her. But Bazaar didn't read the letter carefully until the hot chocolate on it melted. She just stayed for a long time and then ate the last ice cream he made for her with tears in her eyes.
A few days later, Bazaar got married. Lai Changxing sat on a high hillside and watched the car carrying Bazaar drive away. The ice cream in his hand melted and the girl he loved was gone. He shed tears of sadness.
6. Every chocolate is engraved with sad love words.
In the second year of Bazaar's marriage, Lai Changxing left Luxembourg for the United States and found a job in an upscale restaurant. He is down-to-earth and honest, and his boss appreciates him very much, so he betrothed his female work to him. A few years later, Lai Changxing moved to Chicago with his boss's family. In Chicago, Lai Changxing became a candy merchant again. As Lai Changxing will never forget Bazaar, his wife has to divorce him.
Since then, Leon has been taking his son alone and running his candy store. 1946 One day, Lai Changxing saw his son chasing an ice cream car. When he stopped him, his son told him that there was delicious chocolate ice cream in the car. Lai Changxing's closed heart was suddenly knocked open. He hasn't made ice cream since Bazaar left. What Bazaar finally wanted was a chocolate ice cream, but he didn't realize her wish. Lai Changxing decided to continue the unfinished work for Bazaar.
After months of careful preparation, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate came out, engraved with four letters. My son naively asked Lai Changxing what the "dove" on the icehouse Ridge meant. Lai Changxing said softly that this is the name of ice cream.
7. The truth came out
Just then, Lai Changxing accidentally received a letter from Luxembourg. Lai Changxing learned from the letter that Princess Bazaar had sent someone back to China to inquire about him, hoping that he could visit her, but was told that he had gone to the United States. What happened to Bazaar? Is she okay? Lai Changxing's heart seems to have returned to that year, still so urgent and eager.
After many hardships, Lai Changxing finally arrived in Belgium. Bazaar is not in the palace, but lives in a shabby villa in the suburbs. Lai Changxing had an ominous premonition when his servant greeted him with a sad face. Bazaar is very old. She lay weakly in bed, her clear eyes turned gray. Lai Changxing threw herself at her bedside, and tears kept dripping on the back of her pale hand. Bazaar reached out and gently stroked Laichang's hair, calling Laichang's name in a weak voice that was almost inaudible. Later, she told the whole story with difficulty.
It turns out that when I was in Luxembourg. Bazaar also loves Lai Changxing deeply. She went on a hunger strike and refused to get married, but after being sent to the palace for a month, she knew that she could not escape the fate of marriage. Besides, Lai Changxing never said he loved her, let alone made any promises. At that time, a woman had to pay a heavy price for breaking up with the whole family, and she was cornered. In the end, she had to compromise with her fate, but she hoped to go back to the palace for afternoon tea before leaving Luxembourg, because she wanted to say goodbye to Lai Changxing there. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her, but she didn't see the melting letter.
When I heard this, Lai Changxing burst into tears. The misunderstanding of the past has finally been answered, but it is too late. Three days later, Bazaar died. Lai Changxing heard from the servant that after Bazaar got married, she was depressed all day, which led to illness. She sent someone back to find Lai Chang. Knowing that he left Luxembourg and got married in America, he fell ill.
8. Special commemoration
Lai Changxing is very sad. If the hot chocolate on that ice cream didn't melt, if Bazaar understood his mind, would she change her mind and elope with him? He thinks it will! He began to regret his stupidity and negligence, why he wrote on the ice cream with hot chocolate. If chocolate is solid, words will not melt, and he will not lose his last chance. Lai Changxing is determined to make a solid chocolate so that it can be stored for a long time.
After careful preparation, the unique Dove chocolate was finally made. Each chocolate was firmly engraved with the letter "Dove", which was used by Lai Changxing to commemorate his missed love with Bazaar.
