Chapter 182 Or You Regret the Engagement
Wen Zhenyi really didn't know that he had thought this way before: "Maybe Master Cheng's fate has not yet arrived."
"I just hope it's not a bad fate." He looked at her and said, "If you want to break off the engagement, I don't mind you becoming my daughter-in-law."
"Master Cheng, rumors are flying everywhere. If I break off the engagement and become your daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the people in this town will drown me with spit."
"Forget it, forget it. I can only blame my kid for not having this blessing." Master Cheng finished drinking a bowl of coconut juice and left.
Wen Zhenyi wrote some things on the paper and crossed out some.
After finishing their writing, several children ran to sit next to her. Seeing her writing and drawing, they looked at her curiously: "Sister Wen, why did you write and then cross it out?"
"I'm sorting out the snack list for the day after tomorrow. Some of the dishes are missing some ingredients, so I can't make them. I have to cross them out."
The children couldn't read much now, but seeing that she had crossed out a lot of things, they asked, "Don't you have any ingredients for so many things?"
"Well, that's why I can't cook many things for you." Wen Zhenyi wanted Xiong Lu to try making a blender.
Cream cake cannot be made at the moment, but cake base should be possible.
She wrote this down on a piece of paper to prevent herself from forgetting it.
Ma Ruier looked at the blender written on it with a puzzled look on her face: "Cousin, what is this for?"
"For beating eggs."
“Isn’t beating eggs easy?”
"This is different from what you usually see."
"What's the difference?"
"You need to beat the eggs thoroughly. If you beat the eggs by hand, you might not be able to lift your arms the next day."
Ma Ruier looked at her second brother: "Second brother, why don't you try?"
Ma Yushun's mouth twitched: "Didn't you hear what your cousin said? I couldn't even lift my hands the next day."
"You don't have to work the next day anyway."
"Who said I don't work anymore? Isn't it me who does the heavy work in this shop?"
Wen Zhenyi watched the brother and sister bickering as usual and could only pretend not to see it and continued to organize his menu.
There is no pork in the meat floss, no cream or butter in the cake. It feels like the ingredients for making the dessert are quite different. When there is pork, I must make some meat floss.
Now we can only choose some foods that can be made from the existing ingredients.
On the first day, she prepared bread, chrysanthemum cakes, egg rolls, French fries and octopus balls. For tea, she would pair it with icy ice jelly and cold shrimp, and a cup of roselle tea. Various popsicles should be enough.
Tea is available in unlimited quantities. You can bring the ingredients to Heyuan and brew it there, so there is no need to bother transporting it from here.
Geng Ru finally got a break and sat down next to Wen Zhenyi, fanning him with a fan. "Yiyi, are you making the menu for the refreshments for the day after tomorrow?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "Aunt, I will teach you how to make taro balls and pearls later."
"What is this?"
“For dessert.”
"I forgot one thing when you mentioned that. Yesterday, the blacksmith shop delivered something, saying it was what you wanted. I wanted you to take a look at it. If it's not right, you can take it back and have it altered."
"What is it?" Wen Zhenyi had the blacksmith shop make a lot of things, and now he has almost forgotten what they are.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." He stood up and took something out of the warehouse and put it on the table.
Wen Zhen knew what this thing was as soon as she saw it. She had asked the blacksmith to make an ice shaver, but it had never been delivered. She thought there was no hope, but she didn't expect to see it now.
"Aunt, do you have any ice?"
"There's nothing to eat, and I haven't had time to boil water."
"No need for food, just ice cubes will do."
"Then there is. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
Gou Sheng looked at this strange thing curiously: "Sister Wen, what is this for?"
"This is also used to process ice."
After a while, Geng Ru came over with some ice cubes and put them on the table.
Wen Zhenyi poured the ice cubes into the small trough on top, covered the lid and turned a handle on top, and crushed ice came out from the opening at the bottom, like white snowflakes.
Hu Zi curiously reached out and took some ice and put it in his palm. It melted after a while: "It melted so quickly."
Geng Ru was puzzled: "It melts so quickly, what is it used for?"
"I'll make you some ice bowls at noon, and then you'll know what it's used for." Wen Zhenyi cleaned the ice shaver and wiped off the moisture, otherwise it would easily rust.
It is more troublesome not to have stainless steel. These things rust too easily and need to be taken out for maintenance frequently.
After finally taking a break at noon, a group of people were waiting for the ice bowl she mentioned.
When Wen Zhenyi was having lunch at noon, he boiled a pot of hot water and froze it into ice cubes. Then he took out the candied bayberries and lychees he had made earlier, as well as the cooked red beans and other things, and placed them on the table.
Use an ice shaver to churn out bowls of shaved ice, top it with fruits, red beans, mung beans, taro balls, pearls, and then drizzle with a spoonful of honey.
She carried all the bowls of ice to the yard and placed them on the table: "Alright."
"This looks cool." Geng Ru felt the coolness just by looking at it.
"You can also pour some coconut milk on it. I don't have time to make it today, so I'll just make do with it."
Lin Jie looked at the bowl of ice in front of him, not knowing how to eat it.
"Sister, are we going to eat it like this?" Wen Yongman was a little impatient.
"Stir it, there's honey on it."
Everyone in the yard listened to her, stirred it, and then picked up a spoon and took a bite. It felt so refreshing.
“Icy and sweet.”
Chen Hanxing only had a small bowl, and even if it was a small bowl, it was only about one-third of the amount, enough for him to eat two bites.
Wen Zhen saw that he had finished eating and didn't pretend to be nice to him anymore: "You don't have a good appetite, eat less."
"Just a taste."
The others enjoyed the meal very much. They finished everything in their bowls and still felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Sister, can you eat some more?"
"No, eating too much cold food will make your stomach uncomfortable."
Wen Yongman could only put down the bowl with regret.
Wen Zhenyi looked at Lin Jie and said, "Brother Lin, Uncle Lin shouldn't eat cold food, so I didn't prepare this for you."
"No, no, my dad can't finish it. He only ate one-third of the dry rice this morning. You can't give me that much in the future. It's such a waste."
"Okay, next time, have Xiao Taozi fill less for you. When you serve tea this afternoon, give each of these customers an iced bowl and tell them it's a new product and you're giving it to them to try."
"Miss Wen, crushed ice melts easily. I'm afraid it will turn into water by the time I get it."
Wen Zhen thought about it and said: "Then I won't send it for you. You can only eat it in the restaurant."
“I’ll tell customers that the new ice bowls are only available in-store.”
