Chapter 36: Double Skin Milk Rhyme
Butler Xue waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Miss Ye, I dare not be so bold."
Of course he liked the food cooked by Miss Ye, but asking her to be his personal chef?
Firstly, he didn't have enough money to hire one, and secondly, it was not appropriate. He was just a housekeeper, so how could he hire a chef with the young master and his wife, and pay half the price.
"Oh, okay." Ye Shuyi realized later that this was not appropriate, so she didn't continue.
"Can you go back and talk to my wife for me?" Ye Shuyi requested.
"No problem, Miss Ye. I'll go back and tell Madam right away." Butler Xue said.
"OK, thanks."
Ye Shuyi had a simple lunch.
After dinner, Xie Yanfei came to her and said, "Sister Shuyi, the snow-skin-wrapped double-skin milk is ready. Do you want to try it? Just treat it as an after-dinner dessert."
"Okay, okay!" said Ye Shuyi.
The ice skin buns and double skin milk pastries made by Xie Yanfei are very beautiful.
He made about twenty of them, all of which were exquisite and small.
These pastries are of different colors, including blue, green, purple, pink, cyan, yellow, white, and double colors, such as pink and green, blue and white, and so on.
Not only that, there are also rainbow colors, which are dazzling and overwhelming.
Its shapes are also very diverse, such as petal shape, heart shape, diamond shape, etc.
"You are so good at designing!" Ye Shuyi felt that he had a lot of ideas.
Xie Yanfei scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's okay, the most important thing is the taste, Sister Shuyi, can you try it and see if it tastes good?"
Ye Shuyi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, feeling the delicate and soft texture of the ice skin. It was refreshing, not greasy, a little elastic, cool and delicious, and perfect for summer.
Take a bite and the double skin milk inside comes out, which is mellow and dense. Your mouth seems to be wrapped in a cool cloud, so sweet.
In this hot summer, the combination of ice skin and double skin milk is like nectar.
The one she ate was strawberry flavored, with a fresh strawberry aroma.
Xie Yanfei deliberately froze it in the refrigerator for a while before taking it out.
Ye Shuyi nodded and praised: "Very good! The shape is innovative, and the taste is also innovative."
"Hey, Sister Shuyi, did you notice any difference in the taste?" Xie Yanfei asked as if he was taking credit for it.
"Have you made any improvements to the recipe proportions? It feels less sweet than those on the market, so it's not greasy." Ye Shuyi expressed her guess.
"Sister Shuyi, you are not only a good chef, but also an excellent food taster. I just put 5% less sugar, and you can guess it." Xie Yanfei exclaimed in amazement.
"Not only that, you used brown sugar instead of white sugar, didn't you?"
"I admire you so much."
Obviously, Ye Shuyi guessed right.
"Sister Shuyi, I think brown sugar and white sugar have similar sweetness. How did you guess that? Also, do you know what my purpose is?" Xie Yanfei's behavior at this moment was like Boya meeting Zhong Ziqi, Qianlima meeting Bole, and Guan Zhong meeting Xiaobai.
Ye Shuyi casually picked up a chopstick and walked around the kitchen, gesturing as she spoke, "Brown sugar is warm in nature and has a nourishing effect. People with spleen deficiency and blood stasis can use it to replenish qi, relieve pain, and regulate the spleen and stomach. To put it bluntly, it's a type of brown sugar that promotes blood circulation and warms the stomach. White sugar is sweet, but eating too much can increase blood sugar, leading to obesity and, in severe cases, induce cardiovascular diseases. So, you've made some improvements to the recipe to make them healthier, right?"
This is from the perspective of health preservation, diet therapy, eating well means health.
Senior chefs will take care of both taste and health, taking a two-pronged approach.
Xie Yanfei was completely impressed by this statement. The other party's intention was so easily seen through. He was really smart.
"Brown sugar is made from sugarcane juice, so it tastes relatively clear, mellow, and sweet, but it won't make people feel greasy, and it also has a light sweet fragrance. White sugar, on the other hand, is simpler. It generally doesn't emit any fragrance, and you have to get close to smell it. Moreover, white sugar tastes very intuitively sweet, with a sense of impact and a very simple taste." Ye Shuyi explained why she could tell the difference.
Xie Yanfei knew that he had come to the right place.
"Sister Shuyi, how did you develop this level of accomplishment? You're only one year older than me, but you know a lot more than I do."
Ye Shuyi kept it a secret: "Practice makes perfect. With more practice, you'll naturally understand it."
"Okay, Sister Shuyi, I will study hard!"
Ye Shuyi nodded, this boy is teachable.
"Okay, your pastry is very well made. It will definitely sell well once it is released. Have you thought of a name? Just call it Snow Skin Double Skin Milk Cake? It doesn't seem elegant enough." Ye Shuyi thought, it's time to launch a new product.
Although the last new product was launched only a few days ago.
Xie Yanfei thought about it and shook his head: "Sister Shuyi, I can't think of one. How about you pick one?"
"How about calling it Double Skin Milk Cake?" Ye Shuyi couldn't think of any particularly elegant name. "We can change it later."
"Okay, let's use this." Xie Yanfei certainly had no objection.
"Well, then you can give this to the employees in our store first. Can you make 100 of them tomorrow? As usual, preheat it for four days to let everyone know that we have this thing, and then release it in limited quantities every day. Do you think it's okay?" Ye Shuyi said.
"Of course!" Xie Yanfei was very happy that his cooking could be eaten by more people.
"Okay, how many can you make in a day?" Ye Shuyi was making a budget.
"Well, three hundred, let's say. One mold costs fifty, and the steamer can only hold this much. Six times should be enough." Xie Yanfei thought about it seriously.
"Okay, I can have six of each, so that's fifty servings. The limit is fifty per day."
"good!"
Ye Shuyi asked Li Kaile to find a designer to design a packaging box for their store's Shuangpi Naiyun, using environmentally friendly materials.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. If a food is beautifully packaged, it will make the taste more ceremonial.
More people will pay for it.
Ye Shuyi also had another consideration, which was that she was about to open a store. According to her plan, a large part of the target audience of this store would be the elite.
They are not short of money, they just like the feeling of luxury.
Therefore, the products in Ye Shuyi's store must be more refined.
In the evening, Butler Xue happily told Ye Shuyi that the lady was willing to spend one million a month's salary to ask her to cook.
Moreover, Butler Xue mentioned that Miss Ye seemed to be a little short of money, so the lady simply waved her hand and paid her three months' salary in advance.
That is three million.
