Chapter 76 Leisurely Gourmet

The Cao family also felt that they were in crisis at this moment.

Today they also sent people to Youran Dessert, but in the end they only managed to get back a bag of toast, two chestnut cakes and a bag of chestnuts.

Mr. Cao looked at the cakes on the table and asked the servant who came over, "What are these? Are these the only ones they have in their shop?"

The servant quickly knelt down and told the story of the day: "Master, it's not that I don't want to buy, it's just that I couldn't get any. There are many snacks in the shop that I haven't seen before, and there's also that milk tea, which I really couldn't get!"

"You useless bastards, you can't even grab anything, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Cao is in a bad mood, his business is not doing well, and now even a servant is causing him trouble.

Mr. Cao's eldest son, Cao Liang, waved his hand and signaled the servants to go down.

He picked up the bread on the table, opened the bag and saw a row of sliced ​​noodles. He picked it up and tasted it. It was soft and sweet, with a light milky aroma. "Dad, this Youran dessert is something special. Try it."

He took out another piece and gave it to his second brother Cao Li who was standing next to him.

Master Cao and Cao Li held the soft slices of bread in their hands. They were a little disgusted at first, but after taking a bite, they both fell silent.

Mr. Cao loves sweets, otherwise he wouldn't have opened a pastry shop.

It’s just that his teeth are not in good condition due to his old age, and the noodles he just ate were soft and not choking. He finished the whole piece without realizing it, and still felt a little unsatisfied at the end.

He looked up and saw that his second son had also finished a whole slice. The two of them looked at the empty slices of bread in their hands and coughed in embarrassment.

Cao Li quickly said, "Dad, I didn't expect that the owner of Youranju could hire such a great pastry chef."

Cao Liang saw that the yellow cake on the table looked ordinary, so he picked up a piece and ate it. Instantly, the taste of chestnuts filled his mouth. It was an indescribable taste that he had never tasted before.

He picked up the cooled oil-paper bag next to him and looked inside to see the brown fruits.

He looked familiar, very much like the thorny eggs after being peeled off the shell in the mountains.

Previously, he went up the mountain with others for a trip and saw some villagers peeling shells on the side of the road. He was curious and asked a few questions, but he didn't expect that these were fruits in thorny eggshells.

Cao Liang peeled one and found it very sweet, tasting very similar to the pastry he had just eaten.

It seems that this pastry is made of prickly ash meat.

Cao Liang exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, this cake is made from unwanted thorny eggs from the mountains!"

Mr. Cao also knew that prickly eggs were difficult to cook and tasted bad, so he asked curiously, "Can you eat that thing?"

"Then we can collect some to make snacks." Cao Li said in surprise.

Master Cao was not very happy after hearing this. He looked at his second son with a serious face:

"No, we don't know the power behind Youranju yet, how can we act rashly?"

Cao Li was told off by his father, so he could only remain silent. Cao Liang glanced at him and said, "Dad, tomorrow my second brother and I will go to their shop in person to check it out, and then we'll make plans."

Mr. Cao nodded, and the three of them looked at the cakes on the table in silence for a long time.

The next day, Cao Liang and Cao Li went to Tianshui Lane after breakfast.

Today is the second day of the opening of Youran Gourmet and Youran Dessert. There are more people than on the first day, most of whom come to recharge and become members.

Cao Li was outside looking at the huge crowds of people in front of Youran Food, and was curious about what was inside.

"Brother, I see there are quite a lot of people over there at the dessert counter. Let's ask the servant to queue up first, and then we can go to the food shop to take a look."

Cao Liang looked at the You Ran Food Restaurant which was still full even though it was past dinner time, and was curious about what they sold there. After instructing the servant, he went in with Cao Li.

As soon as they entered, they felt their eyes brighten.

The wooden tables and chairs look very clean, the floor is light gray, and the overall look is very harmonious. There is a middle-aged woman in the lobby who mops the floor from time to time to keep it clean and tidy.

A young girl's voice sounded, bringing the two back to their thoughts: "Sir, please come in."

The waitress, dressed in light green, took out a small notebook and said with a smile, "Sir, please take a look at what you would like to eat. Here is the menu. There are also pictures on the wall for your reference."

As soon as the waitress said this, Cao Liang realized that the walls were painted with colorful paints depicting the appearance of each type of food, which looked very appetizing.

Cao Liang ordered oil tea and spicy soup, and Cao Li ordered tofu pudding and eight-treasure porridge, pancakes, fried dough sticks, fried cakes, and egg-filled pancakes.

Cao Li wanted to order more, but the waiter advised him, "Since there are only two of you, please order according to your own taste."

Cao Li was stunned and thought, can't I even spend my own money?

Finally, they followed the advice and ordered only oil tea, spicy soup, salty tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, and egg-filled pancakes.

Cao Li and his friends had already had breakfast, but they were still shocked to see so many foods they had never seen before.

They thought it smelled delicious just by looking at the picture, and it smelled even better when they ate it.

The brown spicy soup with sesame oil made Cao Liang's mouth water.

Just now he saw someone at the table next to him ordering something, and the food smelled so good that he couldn't help but order a bowl.

After a few bites, my whole body felt warm, and the strong pepper flavor was very satisfying.

Cao Liang looked at the person at the next table eating pan-fried dumplings with big mouthfuls, and he was so greedy that he ordered one too. There were five dumplings in one serving, and they were paired with spicy soup. It was so delicious that Cao Liang almost ate it up.

"Brother, Youranju is amazing, and the food is so delicious!"

He especially loves the pancakes and fried buns, and eating them with spicy soup makes him feel relaxed all over.

Cao Liang kept shaking his head. His younger brother was already thirty-one years old, but still a little unstable.

Cao Liang finished his spicy soup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and trimmed his beard: "Don't talk while eating."

Cao Liang looked around and found that there were all kinds of people in the store, including rich people like them and ordinary people.

Ordinary people tend to order meatless foods, such as soy milk and tofu pudding.

He discovered that tofu pudding can be divided into sweet and salty flavors.

He just drank the salty tofu pudding and couldn't help but order another bowl of sweet one.

The key is that the price is not expensive. A bowl of tofu pudding costs two cents, and a bowl of soy milk costs one cent.

He took a sip of the drink which had a strong bean flavor and actually contained sugar. This was simply a good deed, as sugar was not cheap these days.

He glanced at the diners next to him again. Soy milk and tofu pudding were almost everyone's must-order dishes.

The most expensive thing was the spicy soup he had just eaten, which cost 10 cents a bowl.

There is meat, something that looks like noodles, fungus, and a yellow ingredient in it. It is very well-made. With so many pieces of meat and ingredients, 10 cents a bowl is not expensive at all.

Many people who came here also ordered this. It’s cold now, and one bowl of it warms me up all over.

Cao Liang calculated that even if he priced the spicy soup at 10 cents, he wouldn't make any money.

Pepper is expensive, and considering the strong pepper flavor in the soup, 10 cents would definitely be a loss.

The prices of other dishes were not expensive either. A pancake that was bigger than his face was only 6 cents, and it was filled with large fried dough sticks and a lot of unknown pickles. Even a man with a small appetite could feel full after eating one.

It seems that this leisurely food is all about affordability.
