Met a match! Authentic! Jinji doesn't sell pea yellow, but it sells osmanthus cake. Compared with the osmanthus cakes of several others, Jinji's osmanthus cake is simply a younger brother!
"Miss Su..." Shopkeeper Sun turned back with a complicated expression.
It’s not that he has no confidence in Su Xiaoxiao. He has eaten the snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao and the taste is impeccable.
But the food of those people was not bad either, and what they were making was the famous Beijing food, so the gimmick was already there.
Their Su Ji’s dim sum is delicious, but it’s a pity that it’s not very famous and not as prestigious as the famous Beijing delicacies.
"Tsk, bad decision." Shopkeeper Sun sighed.
Soon, Su Xiaoxiao’s snacks were out of the pot.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the bright yellow snacks on the plate, pointed at them and said, "No, these are eggs you made. Aren't these sugar paintings?"
You can see them everywhere on the streets. They are made by pouring syrup little by little. They look delicate and taste super sweet.
And Su's was small, not even exquisite, it was just the shape of an eggshell.
"this--"
Shopkeeper Sun was simply speechless.
"Take it out." Su Xiaoxiao said.
"Ah." Shopkeeper Sun opened and closed his mouth several times, then gritted his teeth and took the "eggshell" out.
You are the creditor, you are the boss, you are the boss!
Seeing the sugar eggs brought out by Shopkeeper Sun, the Second Madam burst out laughing: "Third sister-in-law, this is the cook you hired. What kind of food did he make? It's not even as good as mine!"
It’s just a matter of simmering an egg with syrup. Can a seven or eight-year-old child do it?
The third lady's brows also frowned slightly.
Shopkeeper Sun: Don’t ask me, the boss did it!
The Second Lady almost laughed herself to death. She covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Then bring the snacks over to let Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law have a taste and see which one they like better!"
The servants brought the three desserts to the main courtyard.
The eldest master and mistress had just gotten up and were sitting down to drink some millet porridge.
There are two big meals of fish and meat during the day, so I don’t eat much in the morning.
The snacks were served to the table for two.
The eldest master was not fair in this matter. The inner house was the eldest lady's territory and he should not have interfered. It was the second brother who came to him and talked for half a day but he couldn't refuse and finally agreed.
"Madam, you make the decision," said the master.
The eldest lady sighed, "You promised the second brother, and I'm going to offend you. Wouldn't that make you, the elder brother, lose face in front of your brothers?"
The eldest master was very pleased, smiled and said, "Then let's just use the cook that the second son called?"
"It seems that the second son's cook is reliable." The eldest lady's eyes swept across the three desserts and fell on a few "eggs" made of syrup, and she frowned.
"What did the chef hired by the third daughter-in-law cook?"
…
The servants soon came over from the courtyard of the main house.
The second and third wives asked in unison, "What did the eldest brother and sister-in-law say?"
The servant bowed his head and reported: "In reply to the two ladies, the eldest master and the eldest lady said that they would use the dim sum chef invited by the third lady."
"Impossible!" The second lady raised her voice, "You must have passed the wrong message! They just made a piece of candy!"
That’s right, what Su Xiaoxiao made was indeed a piece of candy, it was just shaped like an eggshell, but it was essentially sugar.
What is so special about it?
The three cooks saw that there were still two left on Su Xiaoxiao's stove, and Su Ergou ate one.
They walked over with sullen faces, and one of them broke off a small piece of the candy with his bare hands.
"It just tastes like syrup, nothing special—"
etc.
An incredible scene happened.
There was actually a little tiger made of pastry lying in the candy egg.
The tiger's body is tender yellow, and the head and tail are outlined with brown syrup to create the shape of tiger stripes.
It is a small one, the size of a palm, lifelike, soft and cute.
The young master of the Wang family is born in the year of the tiger! Absolutely amazing.
This dessert is absolutely amazing!
Let’s not talk about the taste, the meaning and appearance alone are far better than them! After tasting it, the three of them couldn’t say a word of excuse!
The tiger snack is made of cornmeal, and the filling is the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao herself, mixed with a small spoonful of peanut butter made by Wei Ting. It has a sweet and sour taste, and a hint of peanut aroma can be tasted after a long time.
The taste is layered, rich in texture, and the main and secondary ingredients are clearly distinguished.
The three of them admitted defeat!
The third wife was very proud. She had been suppressed by the second wife for many years, but now she finally gained face in front of her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
She smiled brightly: "Second sister-in-law, it's nothing, I'll leave first, second sister-in-law, go and do your work, let's not disturb Miss Su and Brother Su from making snacks here."
The second wife walked away angrily like a defeated rooster!
The Third Madam smiled and said, "I'm right to invite you. Please make the snacks well. The price we agreed on will remain the same. In addition, if you make more of these snacks, I'll increase the price by another ten taels!"
"No need to raise the price..." Shopkeeper Sun was just being polite, how could he really not want it?
Ten taels of silver is nothing to the Wang family, and the Third Lady can still afford it.
"It's settled then." The third lady praised Su Xiaoxiao a few more times, then turned around and went to the main house to meet her eldest brother and his wife.
Shopkeeper Sun was wiping his cold sweat while laughing. To work with Miss Su, one needs to have a strong heart.
Su Xiaoxiao made the snacks very smoothly. Su Ergou had made visible progress in recent days and was much more efficient in his work.
When going to the town to do business, Su Xiaoxiao always felt that she was too busy in the morning because they had to rush, but the Wang family’s birthday banquet would not start until noon, so there was plenty of time and no need to worry about the large quantity.
"Ergou, are you tired?"
“Not tired!”
"Would you prefer to host a banquet like today, or would you prefer to sell dim sum?"
"I like them all!" said Su Ergou.
Selling snacks is more fun, but you can earn more by preparing meals. He just heard that the lady added another ten taels as soon as she opened her mouth!
Su Xiaoxiao: He is truly a child who always makes people feel a sense of accomplishment.
The second lady left, but the three chefs she hired did not leave. They shamelessly stayed to see what kind of snacks Su Xiaoxiao could make.
Su Xiaoxiao let them see it openly, without any intention of hiding anything.
This made the three grown men even more ashamed.
If it were them, they would surely not be able to stop others from coming to "steal" their skills.
"Could you please knead the dough?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"Oh, okay!" The three of them agreed quickly.
When asked what it’s like to have a professional chef helping you, Su Xiaoxiao could only say - it’s very smooth!
Su Xiaoxiao discovered that there were dairy sheep in the mansion, so she asked Manager Sun and the servant to fetch a jar of goat's milk.
She poured the goat's milk into a pot and boiled it to sterilize and remove the fishy smell, then made some ginger juice and sent it to the ladies.
——She just heard the Third Madam speak with a buzzing nasal tone.
In addition, she also made milk-flavored chestnut cakes, dried fruit milk rolls, and sesame paste milk rolls.
Everything can be milked! Another update
