Chapter 25
Are you raising the price secretly?
To make dried fruits, you naturally need a dryer.
Xiao Yue baked the cookies, opened the system mall, and found a dryer worth "5000 points".
She has a lot of points now, but it still hurts to redeem them at first.
Fortunately, the dryer is great value for money. It can be placed next to the steamer. It is three palms wider than the steamer and can accommodate more layers.
Xiao Yue counted and found that there were twenty trays in total, which could also shorten the baking time and allow a lot of bread to be baked at one time.
She was very satisfied, and now she was struggling with what fruit to grill.
It’s not that I can’t find what I want to bake, but there are just too many things I want to bake.
Apples, mangoes, kiwis, bananas, apricots, dragon fruit...
Xiao Yue was thinking as she returned to the kitchen. When she stood in front of the chopping board for cutting fruits and vegetables, she decided on the final four kinds of fruits in her mind.
Apples, apricots, grapes, and kiwis!
Xiao Yue exchanged them and placed them in large basins for processing.
The bright red apples and bright yellow apricots need to be cleaned with light salt water, the plump grapes need to be lightly washed with flour water, and finally the kiwifruit needs to have its hairy skin peeled off...
The process is accompanied by the fragrance of fruits, which is very healing.
After the preliminary processing, Xiao Yue sliced all three fruits except the grapes.
Remove the cores of apples and apricots first, and don't cut them too thin. The drying time will cause the fruit slices to shrink naturally, and if they are too thin, the taste will be affected.
Xiao Yue doesn't intend to make the dried fruit too dry. He wants to retain a little bit of moisture so that the original flavor can be tasted.
While cutting, Xiao Yue tasted the fruits. The apples were crisp and sweet, the apricots were delicious, and the kiwis were sweet and juicy.
It’s worthy of being a system product!
After about quarter of an hour, the fruit was sliced. Xiao Yue took out the hollow plate from the dryer and placed the fruit slices on it one by one.
As the fruits themselves are of good quality and sweet, the step of sprinkling powdered sugar can be omitted.
After all twenty plates of fruit were sent into the dryer, Xiao Yue stretched and went back to his room to rest.
When I woke up, the dryer had stopped working.
Xiao Yue came in front of it and took out a plate with dried apples on it.
The apple at this moment is no longer the same as before. The moisture has been dried out, the originally off-white flesh has turned off-white, and the skin no longer looks its original bright red.
Xiao Yue pinched it with one hand and it broke easily, but the broken part was a little sticky, which was exactly the feeling she wanted.
Xiao Yue also took out the other apricots, grapes, and kiwis and looked at them one by one. They all looked very good.
Especially raisins, which are 70% sweet and 30% sour.
Xiao Yue couldn't stop eating it and had a feeling that it would become a very popular item in the store in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yue ate another handful of raisins and then put them into the small insulation tank.
Each type takes up one space, leaving just enough space for biscuits.
Yes, this self-service store, which was opened in a different era, is becoming more and more presentable.
Xiao Yue threw a handful of raisins into his mouth and thought so with his eyes narrowed.
…
“Oh my god, so crispy and sweet!”
“How can this dried fruit be so delicious!”
"Sister, you should sandwich the fruit with biscuits and pair it with jasmine milk. It's absolutely delicious!"
Noon time.
Yueting Buffet was filled with exclamations from customers, all of whom were giving their praise for the dried fruits.
When Xiao Yue was walking in to order more food, she saw a customer who specifically stopped her and kept praising the raisins.
"Madam Xiao, this is so delicious! You are worthy of me. I have never eaten such delicious dried fruit!"
Without waiting for Xiao Yue to reply, the customer took the plate and ran straight to the snack counter which was crowded with people.
But the next second, her wails echoed everywhere: "What, the raisins are gone?!"
Receiving the aggrieved look she turned around at him, Xiao Yue coughed lightly to hold back his laughter, and went back to the kitchen to bring out new ones.
The baking time of this thing is no shorter than that of the oven or steamer, about half an hour.
However, each type has a quantity of four plates. After adding, fresh fruits are added and then baked, so there is basically no shortage of stock.
Xiao Yue didn't make any new dishes today. She prepared a lot of food early in the morning and had plenty of time to cut fruits.
The main reason was that Xiao Yue had spent the entire night last night planning the preparations for Yueting's buffet breakfast, and when he woke up today he had to go through a lot of trouble to exchange the necessary things, so he was delayed.
Fortunately, I have some dried fruits to make up for it today, so it’s not a big problem.
At that moment, Xiao Yue heard the customer say that the dried kiwis and jasmine milk were almost gone, so he responded, replenished the dried fruits, and then went back to the kitchen to make jasmine milk.
She made the syrup on the first day, so it was much easier to make it later.
Just add milk, soaked jasmine flowers, an appropriate amount of syrup to the water dispenser, and turn the temperature up.
After about half a quarter of an hour, when the flavors of the three ingredients are fully blended, the dish can be quickly cooled down and served to customers.
It was the scorching sun, and after the rain that day, the temperature in Liuyun City was getting higher and higher.
After being busy for a while, Xiao Yue wiped the sweat off his face, looked around the crowded yard, and found that the shady area under the big tree was the prime location.
As soon as someone finishes eating and leaves, someone else will make room for him the next second.
As for other places in the yard, they will be exposed to the sun to some extent.
It's only the beginning of May, and everyone can still eat heartily without caring, but the temperature will keep rising, and the impact will be serious. I'm afraid that even if the prime tables are full, they won't want to come in.
While there was no one in line, Xiao Yue returned to the kitchen and opened the system mall.
After a while, she found a parasol that looked suitable for this era and was large enough to cover two tables.
But its points are actually thirteen thousand? ?
Xiao Yue almost thought he had seen it wrong and couldn't help rubbing his eyes. After looking carefully again, he was sure that he had counted correctly, it was exactly thirteen thousand.
As of yesterday, her points totaled more than 40,000. This morning, she bought a new batch of appliances, with an average price of around 4,500. She had more than 20,000 points left after the purchase.
It is indeed enough to exchange for a parasol, but it is too expensive!
"Are you raising the price secretly?" Xiao Yue couldn't help but ask the system in his mind.
There are so many things in the mall that she can't remember them all.
【Host! The system will never raise the prices of mall items. If you don’t believe me, go and look at the ice maker; it hasn’t increased in price either! 】
One can hear a hint of grievance in the cold electronic sound.
Xiao Yue was skeptical, so he clicked on the kitchenware section and found the ice maker.
Seeing the score clearly marked "25,000", she touched her nose.
The ice machine is indeed priced at this price. Xiao Yue was shocked when he saw it some time ago. Fortunately, the weather was not bad at that time and he didn't need to use it urgently.
"I misunderstood you." Xiao Yue sighed, very flexible.
It seems that no matter what era, as the temperature rises and summer comes, things related to cooling off are expensive, and the system mall is no exception.
Xiao Yue stared at the points for a while, didn't think about it any more, and immediately unlocked the parasol.
She was afraid that she would regret it!
After the redemption, Xiao Yue looked at the pitifully few points and let out a soft "hiss".
It’s okay, you can still make money!
Xiao Yue thought so in his heart, and finally felt better.
She didn't plan to take out the parasol on the spot. It would be difficult to explain the sudden appearance of such a big one, and it wouldn't be too late to arrange it tomorrow.
Soon, after the jasmine milk in the store ran out, the sour plum soup for relieving the heat was also gone.
There were not as many people as during the peak period, but Xiao Yue thought about it and still cooked the sour plum soup packets that were kept in the kitchen as a precaution.
Sour plum soup is a great thirst quencher. Almost half of it was gone in a flash as soon as it was served.
Until there were only a few left, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased.
Xiao Yue had been busy for so long that he just felt very hot. He fanned himself with his hands and felt the breeze on his face.
When I looked up again, someone came to the entrance. It was Fu Xunzhou.
The weather was hot, and Xiao Yue didn't talk to him under the scorching sun at the door. He waited until he paid the money and came in before speaking: "Mr. Fu, do we still have the snacks you wanted today?"
Fu Xunzhou paused, looked at her with a pair of eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly: "...Thanks for the reminder."
Xiao Yue gave a casual smile and watched the man go to the food pick-up area, thinking to himself: He really likes cookies!
Little did she know that Fu Xunzhou had his back to her and was walking slowly.
It’s not that I don’t want to eat, the taste of the dim sum is naturally impeccable.
Fu Xunzhou was just thinking that since he failed to get the answer he wanted indirectly yesterday, he seemed to have been misunderstood as having a sweet tooth.
But this is not a big deal. On the contrary, Fu Xunzhou felt cared for by Xiao Yue's reminder. He had an indescribable feeling.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took the snacks and went to the main food area.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xunzhou glanced and saw a dish with a golden crust on the plate of a girl beside him.
He was stunned for a moment, and before he could take a closer look, the girl took the food and walked away, shouting excitedly -
"Chengmin, there are a few pieces of my favorite dish left and I got a bargain!"
Fu Xunzhou looked slightly puzzled. He looked at the thermos tank which had four empty dishes and could not tell what was in it, and hesitantly served other dishes.
He kept his head down the whole time, his brows slightly furrowed, and then slowly relaxed at the end, his eyes becoming confident and determined.
…
"Mr. Fu, you..."
Xiao Yue looked at the man in front of her who was rolling up his sleeves to tidy up his clothes. His expression was as complicated as his mood.
There was no other reason. Fu Xunzhou was helping her collect the dishes again. It turned out that the help he mentioned yesterday was this help.
But Xiao Yue had said several times that he didn't need help.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xunzhou pursed his lips and said with self-blame: "I'm sorry, I just think that I come so late every day, which delays your closing time for dinner, so I want to help. If I really am in the way..."
Xiao Yue understood before he finished speaking.
Faced with such an attitude, what could she do? She couldn't even say: You are really in the way!
Because Fu Xunzhou was doing it very seriously and didn't mean to joke around at all.
Inexplicably, Xiao Yue even saw a bit of proficiency, which made him feel absurd.
If the kitchen was not off-limits to outsiders, she would have suspected that this person wanted to help her wash the dishes.
In response, Fu Xunzhou, who had straightened his sleeves, said, "Don't feel bad. I'm just sitting around doing nothing. It would be my honor to help the girl."
Look at what he said, it sounds so nice.
Xiao Yue hesitated to speak, and when he said goodbye and left, she said, "...Sir, you really have a lot of free time."
On the first day, she realized that Fu Xunzhou was not an ordinary person and must have never done these things.
But why on earth did he insist on working in this self-service store?
Do you really feel sorry for delaying the boss's time to close for lunch?
Xiao Yue didn't think so. He frowned and thought about it, and came to a conclusion.
——The young man from a wealthy family collected bowls once and fell in love with the feeling of collecting bowls, so he stayed to experience life there!
How else to explain it?
Xiao Yue looked at Fu Xunzhou's back as he left with satisfaction, and felt that he might have guessed right.
