Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

When he woke up the next day, Lu Bocheng didn't rush out, but stayed in the house, insisting on following Su Qingyu, wanting to see how she got back a sum of money. Is money so easy to get? If it was so easy to get, why did he only save a dozen taels today?

Lu Bocheng cursed in his heart, a firewood girl from the countryside knows how to tell lies.

He followed Su Qingnao around, chattering for a long time, and finally got tired of Su Qingnao and drove him away.

At noon, Su Qingnao went to buy some things and rushed to Jixiang Pastry Shop.

"You came!"

The fat shopkeeper approached her with sharp eyes, pulled her, and whispered in her ear: "Our boss received the news and came from Pingchuan County early in the morning. It's in the backyard."

Su Qingyu nodded. Went to the backyard of the shop.

I saw a young man in his mid-twenties sitting leisurely in front of the tea table drinking tea. The clothes are well-dressed, the movements are elegant, and the gestures are pleasing to the eye.

"Young master." Shopkeeper Miao called and introduced the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Su Qingyu." As he said this, he reached out to him.

The young master was stunned for a moment, and then extended his hand to her: "It's good for you, Xu Shaoyan."

The two shook hands.

When she stopped her hand and saw the smile on the young master's face and looking at her playfully, Su Qingnao realized that her face was a little burning. She still can't change some habits. When talking to customers in modern times, greet them and shake hands as soon as you meet them.

What kind of hand do you hold in ancient times?

Su Qingyu glanced at the fat shopkeeper with some annoyance, and saw the shock on her face.

Su Qingyu's face became more and more annoyed. The fat shopkeeper must have thought that she was in trouble. A newly married woman shows up in public without saying a word. She is not shy when meeting men. She stares at other people's faces without saying a word and even shakes hands!

What hand are you holding?

Su Qingyu slapped her hand hard.

When he looked up, he saw the corner of the young master's mouth raised, even more annoyed.

When the young master saw her looking over, he hurriedly lowered his lips and put on a cold expression: "Ms. Su, you said you have two techniques for sale?"

Seeing him talking about business, Su Qingyu also calmed down and sat down opposite him.

Nodding: "Yes. I believe that shopkeeper Miao has told the young master's family about my situation. I need a sum of money to bring to my husband who is about to go to war. I live under the eyes of my father-in-law and step-mother-in-law, and I also want to have some money. The money in the box.”

After hearing this, Xu Shaoyan nodded: "Ms. Su is a sensible person."

Su Qingyao smiled: "People, you have to have a clear mind and live a clear life, so that you can live smoothly."

"Absolutely." Xu Shaoyan nodded in approval.

The two got down to business.

These days, skills are in the hands of individuals and families and will not leak out easily. As a result, many skills have been slowly lost over the years due to various reasons.

Of course there is more than just Jixiang's dim sum shop in Fengting Town, but they are all similar except for the appearance and taste.

Transportation in this era was inconvenient, so it was not as good as later generations being able to absorb the strengths of various schools from east to west, north and south, and even Western pastries.

"Dr. Xu said it costs a hundred taels for me, but when I make it, you'll know it's worth it. Look at the pastries you have outside, whether it's cloud cake, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, pea yellow cake, etc. It's sweet, crispy and soft, and can be eaten by anyone. But if I want to buy a few copies and take them to Pingchuan County or Quang Ninh Province, or somewhere further away, the road will be bumpy and bumpy, so I'll leave it alone..."

"So we have branches in Binh Chuan County and Quang Ninh Province."

Although Xu Shaoyan said what he said, he quite agreed with Su Qingyu's words in his heart. If he couldn't take her a long way, he wouldn't be able to let her go for a few days.

Su Qingyao chuckled twice.

"I believe this is a pain point for those who are in the pastry business. Who doesn't want to sell more of their products and make them more widely known. Only the size of the market in one place and one town will mean the size of the business."

Xu Shaoyan looked at Su Qingyu seriously this time.

This woman is obviously a farm girl from the countryside. She has never been to the town a few times. She is dark and thin. Now she is sitting opposite him and analyzing the pain points of the business and the market with him?

Xu Shaoyan felt that his previous carelessness might have been somewhat wrong.

Su Qingyu naturally noticed the change in his expression, glanced at the backyard, and said to the fat shopkeeper: "You have a kitchen and ingredients, right?"

The fat shopkeeper glanced at her young boss and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, there are. How can we, the pastry makers, not have a kitchen?"

After saying that, he received a signal from the young master's family and hurriedly asked Su Qingyu to come over.

Su Qingyu stood up and said, "Wait a moment, Young Master. I'll make two pastries and show them to you."

"Mrs. Su, just go." After Xu Shaoyan said that, he suddenly became a little more expectant.

This young lady married from the countryside might be able to bring him some surprises. The pastry shops are not improving much now, and the family wants to close a few and collect some funds to do something else.

Now that the imperial court is recruiting troops again, the clan members are asking if they can make fire medals on them. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the army, and they need food, drink, clothing and supplies. Although they can't rob some big families, they can always miss out. If the pastry shop's profits are too thin, branches in several towns may be closed.

While Xu Shaoyan was thinking about it, Su Qingyu had already been led to the kitchen.

The kitchen is large and fully equipped. Su Qingyu looked around and quickly took action...

An hour later, she came out of the kitchen.

Shopkeeper Miao followed her with a plate in his hands, a look of surprise and admiration on his face. My eyes looked at the two pastries on the plate, my hands couldn't help but move, and my mouth smashed them a few times. Well, I still want to eat them.

It smells so good, I can't stand it anymore.

The young master must reward her with another one later.

Xu Shaoyan had already drank several pots of tea. When he saw someone coming out, he hurriedly leaned over and looked over.

"This is a lotus? What a realistic lotus!"

There were four freshly fried lotus cakes on the plate, which were pink and tender in color. The petals exploded layer by layer, revealing the yellow stamens in the middle. Realistic, exquisite and beautiful. There are more than ten layers of petals, each layer is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the sweet fragrance makes people move their index fingers.

The fat shopkeeper had just put the plate on the table. Seeing the shocked look on the young master's face, he nodded and said, "The young master didn't see that process. When the dough was fried in the oil pan, the petals slowly bloomed in layers. , like a lotus in full bloom, so beautiful!”

"How did you do this?" Xu Shaoyan looked surprised, and it was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to speak.

Su Qingyao smiled: "The food is made for people to eat. Let me try it, my young master."

Xu Shaoyan picked up one. It was not big, not even half the size of his palm. He held it on his fingertips and looked left and right, up and down, at the petals and then at the stamens in the middle, and praised it.

Finally, I was attracted by the sweet smell and couldn't resist putting it in my mouth...

The moment he put it in his mouth, there was a squeaking sound and a crispy sound exploded between his lips and tongue. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was really an extraordinary feeling.

"Not bad, really good!"

The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but lick his lips when he heard the crisp sound, rubbed his fingers on his clothes, and stared at the plate, wanting to eat.

Xu Shaoyan ate two pills in a row, and then he looked away with some unfinished thoughts and looked at the cakes on the other plate...
