The story of Dove chocolate

19 19 spring, the royal family of Luxembourg. Leon, the assistant chef in the back kitchen, washes dishes all day and his hand is cracked a lot. While he was scrubbing the wound with salt water, a girl came up to him and said, hello! Does it hurt? This girl is Princess Bazaar who later influenced Leon's life.

This is how the two young people met. Because Bazaar is only a distant relative of Prince Felix, her position in the royal family is very low, and it is not her turn to taste the rare food-ice cream.

So Leon sneaked into the kitchen every night to make ice cream for Bazaar. Bazaar teaches Lyon English. The sweetness of the seeds of love haunted two young people. However, in that conservative era, because of their special status and situation, no one said their love and buried it silently in their hearts. ...

At the beginning of the 20th century, in order to strengthen Luxembourg's position in Europe, Luxembourg and Belgium entered into a covenant. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage is the best way, and the chosen person is Princess Bazaar. For several days, Leon couldn't see Bazaar, and he was worried. Finally, a month later, Bazaar appeared at the dinner table, but she looked haggard.

Leon wrote several English letters "DOVE" with hot chocolate when preparing dessert, which is the abbreviation of "DO YOU LOVE ME". He believed that Bazaar must have guessed his heart, but Bazaar stayed for a long time until the hot chocolate melted. A few days later, Bazaar got married.

A year later, Leon left the royal kitchen and quietly came to a high-end restaurant in the United States with a hidden pain in his heart. The boss here appreciates him very much and betrothed his daughter to him. The passage of time, stable career and the birth of a son failed to heal Leon's deep wounds.

His heart did not escape his wife's eyes, and she left sadly. Leon has been single ever since, taking his son and running his candy store.

1946 One day, Leon saw his son running after an ice cream truck, and the door of his memory was suddenly knocked open. Leon hasn't made ice cream since Bazaar left. This time Leon decided to continue the unfinished research.

After several months of careful development, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate came out, engraved with four letters: Dove. Dove ice cream was widely praised as soon as it was launched.

Just then, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg, which was written by a partner who worked in the chef's kitchen. In the letter, Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent someone back to China to inquire about him, hoping that he could visit her, but he learned that he had gone to the United States. Due to the influence of World War II, when this letter reached Leon, it was already one year and three days late. Leon finally found Bazaar after many hardships.

Bazaar and Leon are old at this time. Bazaar lay weakly in bed, her rippling eyes turned gray. Leon threw himself on her bedside, and big tears fell on her pale back. Bazaar reached out and stroked Leon's hair gently, calling Leon's name in a weak inaudible voice.

Bazaar said that at that time, in Luxembourg, she loved Leon very much, went on a hunger strike and refused to get married, and was detained for a month. She knew that she would never escape the fate of being married, what's more, Leon never said he loved her, let alone made any promises.

At that time, she finally had to give in to fate. Before leaving Luxembourg, she wanted to have afternoon tea because she wanted to say goodbye to Leon there. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her, but she didn't see the melting letter. Hearing this, Lyon burst into tears, and the misunderstanding of the past was finally answered.

But it's too late! Three days later, Bazaar died. Leon heard from the servant that he had been depressed all day since Bazaar got married, which led to illness. After learning that he left Luxembourg and got married in America, he fell ill.

Leon was extremely sad. If the hot chocolate on that ice cream doesn't melt, if Bazaar understands his heart, then she will definitely change her mind and run away with him. If chocolate is fixed, words will never melt, and he will not lose his last chance. Leon decided to make a solid chocolate to keep it longer.
