As long as someone is diligent and has good character, He Tiantian is willing to give them a chance.

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, once you learn it, you won't have to worry about food and drink anymore. Just like your mother said, you'll never have to worry about anything for the rest of your life. And I also guarantee you that your salary will only be higher than your mother's, not lower, but that's after you've completed your apprenticeship. During the apprenticeship, you'll only get a thirty-yuan apprenticeship salary, which includes lunch, and that's all."

“Okay, okay, I’m willing,” Hua Xiaomin said. Thirty yuan is more than working as a temporary worker in the cannery, and it even includes lunch.

My mother said that she is still young, and learning is the most important thing.

Afterwards, He Tiantian had someone notify Wu Cuicui, Qin Suyue, and Hua Xiaomin to come over for a meeting, and then she began to teach them how to make Western-style pastries.

During her time in the United States, He Tiantian learned some things from Mrs. Brown, so she could be considered half a mentor.

Actually, learning these things isn't the hardest part; the hardest part is the raw materials.

The chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs that braised meat shops can buy from the countryside, but for the raw materials used in making Western-style pastries, some can only be purchased from factories, and most are not yet available.

He Tiantian asked Sun Sihao to help her source raw materials. After a rough calculation, she realized that the pastry shop could only make a few simple pastries.

For example, traditional sponge cakes, bread, and some cookies.

As for the chocolates and other high-end items, we'll just ignore them for now.

However, this is also good. Too high-end products have high costs, so they can't be sold at a high price and won't make a profit.

Qin Shuyue is nineteen years old and very beautiful.

He Tiantian's plan for her was that if she wasn't good at working, then she would be in charge of selling pastries.

Wu Cuicui is indeed very sweet-talking, and Hua Xiaomin is introverted but very diligent and clean.

He Tiantian said, "This is the medical examination form. Take the form to the hospital for your examination now. You've already paid. If all goes well, the results should be available tomorrow night. If there are no problems, I'll have someone contact you to come to work the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, boss!" The three girls were very happy and took the forms to the hospital for a physical examination.

For those in the food business, hygiene is of utmost importance. You cannot hire people with infectious diseases. This is being responsible for your own business and for your customers.

Sun Sihao helped arrange the raw materials, which were then piled up in the back warehouse.

He Tiantian tried making it herself, and it turned out pretty good; it looked and tasted quite nice.

She kept some for the employees to share, and took the other half home for her children, Huo Yingjie, and her parents-in-law to try.

He Tiantian's pastries received unanimous praise.

"Brother Yingjie, could you please make me a few more cake molds? Plum blossom shapes, pentagons, and so on," He Tiantian said. Since there weren't many varieties, she could only focus on the shape for now.

He Tiantian made old-fashioned bread, which is Mrs. Brown's specialty, and it's very authentic.

“Okay, no problem.” Huo Yingjie nodded; this was something he was good at.

"By the way, cookies sell better, so make more animal-shaped molds," He Tiantian instructed. The cookies were round and quite ordinary.

"By the way, although your pastries taste good, if you grind the herb into powder and dissolve it in water, and use that water to make the dough, the pastries will taste even better," Huo Yingjie suggested. "If you want something to become a classic, an established brand, you need to have a flavor that others don't have."

This not only tests the pastry chef's efforts, but also requires special ingredients.

Thousand Flavor Grass can be used in cooking, and naturally it can also be used in desserts.

It can be used to season anything that is edible.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try too,” He Tiantian said. “Luckily, the demand for Hundred Flavor Grass isn’t too high. Otherwise, if we open more shops in the future, the Thousand Flavor Grass in the back mountain probably won’t be enough.”

"It's alright. If possible, we can have the little tortoise create a space near Xuanwu Lake and plant things there."

Although the taste is not as good as that of the back mountain of Qijia Village, the larger portion makes up for it.

"Little Whirlwind Turtle is amazing," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Our family is getting more and more prosperous and happier."

"The best is yet to come!" Huo Yingjie pinched He Tiantian's little nose and kissed her forehead.

If making money can make He Tiantian so happy, he is willing to help her share more of the burden, hoping to make her even happier.

The pastries on the second day were made with water infused with Thousand Flavors Herb, and they tasted really good.

The three girls are all healthy. They received the notification last night and came to the shop early this morning.

He Tiantian teaches them how to make cakes!

There's a scale nearby; put all the materials together according to the proportions...

He Tiantian taught diligently, and the three of them learned diligently.

Hua Xiaomin even carried a small notebook and a stub of a pencil in her pocket to jot down every key point.

By evening, they were already quite skilled at making sponge cakes.

Since the store hasn't opened yet, the items were distributed to the employees, and the three new apprentices were also given the opportunity to take them home.

Every day was different, and every day of the week, He Tiantian taught them everything she knew and could do with the available resources.

Huo Yingjie's mold arrived, and it came in handy.

The shops in front have also been renovated.

The white walls were adorned with several reproductions of famous foreign oil paintings, and Huo Yingjie had even helped install a few lamps.

Light bulbs alone don't look good, so Huo Yingjie made lampshades around them, turning the light a pale yellow. The patterns on the lampshades were elegant and beautiful, and all the pastries were placed under the glass counter.

We originally hired two Chinese pastry chefs, but one of them was asked to leave, so only one came.

Tang Qinghe is a female craftswoman in her forties with excellent skills.

The four of them became the main members of the Sanfengqiao Dim Sum Shop.

Just as Tian Tian had guessed, Qin Suyue preferred selling things and didn't really like making desserts.

Since He Tiantian figured she needed a salesperson anyway, she asked Qin Suyue for her opinion and then switched Qin Suyue to be a salesperson.

Wu Cuicui and Hua Xiaomin preferred making pastries, so they were assigned to the kitchen and taught by Tang Qinghe how to make both Chinese and Western pastries.

Tang Qinghe was originally the master chef, and now he is in charge of training two apprentices. He Tiantian has already taught what she knows, and she is retiring after completing her mission.

He Tiantian gave the three of them the materials that Sun Sihao had translated, so that they could research new desserts.

The pastry shop at Sanfengqiao also opened amidst the sound of firecrackers.

The pastries inside are exquisite, and the packaging is also very nice; they're perfect for gifting.

Now, the Sanfengqiao braised meat shop is very famous. When people come to buy meat, they usually buy some of the free snacks they try at the snack shop.

The best-selling item is sponge cake, which doesn't weigh much; a pound can make a big bag. Another hot-selling product is cookies in various animal shapes.

Tang Qinghe's Chinese pastries, such as butterfly cookies, mung bean cakes, and osmanthus cakes, sell very well.
