Chapter 718: Too Much Acting
"Oh! When we were young, this was a precious thing, and only children from rich families could afford it.
This is what I learned when I was an apprentice in the shop, following the master. I didn’t formally become his apprentice, so I couldn’t even learn half of the master’s skills.”
Hearing Yun Zijin's praise, the old lady smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face, but she still spoke modestly.
"Wow! You've only learned half of it and it's already so delicious. I can't imagine how delicious it would be if the teacher didn't make it himself!
Grandma, do you know where this master is?"
Yun Zijin felt that since the pastries were so delicious, she had to try the most authentic ones.
"No, when I was young, the master was already in his 40s. Now my grandmother is 70 years old. The master passed away more than ten years ago.
His descendants' skills are not as good as mine, so it's no use looking for them."
Xu Suhua had some talent in making pastries. If the situation had not been so chaotic at the time, the master would have wanted to take Xu Suhua as his apprentice.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, this apprentice did not achieve anything. It can only be said that they were not destined to be master and apprentice.
Hearing Xu Suhua's words, Yun Zijin showed a regretful expression on his face, which made Xu Suhua laugh.
This child seems to be steady on weekdays, but in fact he is still a child who has not grown up.
When she encounters food she likes, this greedy girl looks so disgusting.
"Zijin, do you think grandma's cooking isn't tasty enough and want to eat cakes made by someone else?"
Xu Suhua pretended to be sad and even took a handkerchief to wipe her tears in a pretentious manner.
The acting is so intense that Yun Zijin doesn't even feel comfortable complaining about it, but appropriate comfort still needs to be given.
"Of course not, grandma, what you cook must be the most delicious. If you misunderstand me, I will be very sad~"
At the end of her speech, Yun Zijin reached out and took Xu Suhua's hand, shaking it gently, looking very coquettish.
Xu Suhua finally couldn't hold it back and a smile appeared on her face again.
"Okay, okay, grandma, of course I believe you. But what I said is also true. The master's son and grandchildren really have no talent. They followed the master for more than ten or twenty years, but they still don't have it. I was an apprentice there for a few months and learned it thoroughly."
Talent is a kind of metaphysics.
You say it is important, but it is possible to overcome it through acquired efforts.
But talented people always complete things more easily and with better quality than those without talent.
Yun Zijin believed the old lady, so after she told him that the master had passed away, Yun Zijin gave up the idea of looking for anyone else.
She is greedy but not to the point of not giving up until she can eat.
Lu Yunque sat next to Yun Zijin, and seeing her praising the peach blossom cake, he couldn't help but take a piece and have a bite.
Yun Zijin turned around and saw Lu Yunque eating peach blossom cake, looking at him expectantly.
Peach blossom cake tastes sweet, but the one made by the old lady is sweet but not greasy, so even boys will like it.
"How do you like the taste?"
If Lu Yunque9 thinks it is delicious, then this peach blossom cake is a success. No one is more successful than it in attracting both men and women.
"Yes, it's not too sweet and has the right flavor."
Lu Yunque doesn't like sweet food very much. Before he met Yun Zijin, he could say that he wouldn't eat anything sweet at all.
But now, he will take the initiative to eat pastries, which shows how much he has changed after being trained with Yun Zijin.
"He, who usually doesn't like sweet things, said it's okay. Mom, I think you can quit making peach blossom cakes and open a cake shop."
Unexpectedly, Xu Suhua shook her head and said, "This is a recipe that the master chef has researched for many years. It's okay for us to eat it ourselves, but we can't sell it."
If they sell it, it would be the same as plagiarizing the recipe.
Huo Yuelan hadn't thought too much about it at first, but after hearing what Xu Suhua said, she realized that her previous thoughts were somewhat taken for granted.
"You're right, this peach blossom cake is made with the recipe and craftsmanship of a master chef, so it's not easy to sell it directly.
How about I ask Yunque and the others to find the master's descendants and talk to them?"
With just one sentence, Huo Yuelan found a job for Lu Yunque.
Of course, Huo Yuelan couldn't find someone on her own, so she had to conscript a man on the spot.
She was reluctant to let Yun Zijin suffer. Then only Lu Yunque was the right person, because everyone else present had retired.
"You can find someone, but if they don't agree, you can't force them to buy or sell." The old lady was afraid that Lu Yunque would directly threaten the other party to sell the formula in order to make her happy. After all, Lu Yunque was able to sit firmly in the position of president of Lu Group at such a young age, so he was not a good person.
Lu Yunque didn't know that he was such an image in his grandmother's eyes. When he heard her say that forced buying and selling were not allowed, he held his forehead helplessly. He was not some lawless gang boss, so how could forced buying and selling happen to him?
At most, it is just to create a sense of anxiety so that the other party is forced to sell the formula.
"Grandma, Lu's is a legitimate business. You're making me sound like a gangster. Does my image in front of you have such a bad reputation?"
Lu Yunque wondered what kind of image he usually presented in front of the elders in the old house.
"What do you think?"
The old lady only said four words, and Lu Yunque broke down immediately. He collapsed on the carved Huanghuali sofa in the living room, covering his eyes and refusing to face reality.
Yun Zijin couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "Okay, now that I know you're a law-abiding citizen, don't be unhappy!"
The old lady broke down and Yun Zijin had to comfort her in the end.
Lu Yunque subconsciously put his hand on Yun Zijin's waist and buried his head in Yun Zijin's lower abdomen.
Lu Yunque's action immediately made Yun Zijin blush. What happened?
"Oh, Aunt Wang, what time is it now? Is it time for my daily walk?"
Xu Suhua stretched out her hand, and Aunt Wang immediately came over to help her stand up, and left the living room step by step as quickly as possible.
The others didn't want to see Lu Yunque using such a self-torture trick, so they all turned around and went about their own business.
The servants who were originally staying in the living room were also very tactful and temporarily made the living room their restricted area.
When Yun Zijin raised her head and found that everyone had left, she had already been embraced by Lu Yunque.
If Yun Zijin still hasn't come to her senses by now, then she's really stupid.
So Yun Zijin pushed the person away from her without mercy: "I'll accompany grandma for a walk, you can have fun by yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and quickly ran out of the living room.
Lu Yunque sat on the sofa, looking at Yun Zijin's back as she ran out with a doting look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing his good mood.
Yun Zijin ran out of the living room. Although she was accompanying Xu Suhua for a walk, when she came out, she didn't see anyone and walked aimlessly in the yard.
