95. Afternoon Tea
Su Liu smiled and said, "I didn't think that much."
She actually cares more about money than reputation.
Only when you have money can you have the time and energy to accomplish more things.
For this reason, she asked with great anticipation, "After the Jamil Rose is put on the market, I should also be able to get some dividends, right?"
Shudelai responded, "You are considered one of its developers. You can choose to receive a one-time development fee of 10 million star coins. Alternatively, you can receive a 100 millionth dividend after the Jamil Rose goes on the market."
Su Liu chose the latter without hesitation: "Of course the dividend is better, a constant flow of gold coins. So when will it arrive in my account?"
"Theoretically, after the company goes public and makes a profit, the settlement is made once a year," Shudelai explained. "However, we are still far from the stage of going public."
First, we need to obtain the seeds of the Jamil rose, carry out more detailed optimization and improvement, and select the best quality parts.
They are then distributed to major agricultural bases, and personnel are assigned to specialize in planting.
The natural growth cycle of the Jamil rose is relatively long, and catalysts cannot be used directly as in research.
It will take at least two or three years before it can be put on the market.
Just like the sweet shrimps, hairtails, eels, etc. that Su Liu brought back from Bingling Star, they are still in the early stages of breeding and cannot be used as seafood for interstellar people to eat.
It took a long time, and Su Liu was disappointed, but he soon cheered up again.
"I'll wait. I can't run away anyway."
Compared to getting 10 million right away, dividends are of course more valuable.
She is very confident about the new varieties she has developed.
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. Su Liu took a day off and rested in the castle.
In the afternoon, Su Liu, who had slept in, came to the restaurant yawning.
On the table, there were plates of very unpalatable Western food.
Buttered bread, bacon and fried eggs, vegetable salad, peppers, broccoli and mushrooms, mashed potatoes...
When he first started eating, Su Liu thought the dishes were quite interesting.
After eating it for several days in a row, I became addicted to it.
God knows how much she misses pancakes, fried dough sticks and beef noodles now.
If all else fails, a rice cake is more filling than these weird-tasting foods.
It just so happened that he didn’t have to go to internship today, so Su Liu took a piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and went straight to the kitchen.
The head chef was directing others to prepare afternoon tea for Vian and the eldest son.
Seeing Su Liu coming, she immediately asked, "What's going on, Miss Su Liu?"
Su Liu asked, holding a piece of bread in his mouth: "Is there any ingredient you can give me? I want to make something else to eat?"
The chef was originally smiling, but his face immediately darkened when he heard this.
"Ms. Su Liu, are you saying that the lunch I made tastes terrible?"
"No, no, no, it just doesn't suit my taste," Su Liu quickly explained, "I'm not used to salads and the like. I prefer steamed buns, fried dough sticks, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, etc."
The chef's stern expression softened slightly. "So, Chinese pastries? I see. Starting tomorrow, I'll prepare three extra meals for you."
Su Liu, who was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, coughed lightly: "What about today?"
The head chef said with some embarrassment, "It's really unfortunate today. Both Wei Weng and the eldest master have distinguished guests, and I need to prepare afternoon tea for them."
The huge kitchen was indeed bustling with activity, with everyone rushing about. The head chef was very kind to spare some time to chat with Su Liu for a while.
Su Liu said, "Afternoon tea means pastries that go with tea, right? How about I help?"
The chef hesitated to speak.
In her professional field, she has a strong desire for control and does not like outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the kitchen, especially amateurs like Su Liu who have no formal training.
However, due to Su Liu's noble status in the Ives family, she was unwilling to refuse directly and offend the future young lady.
When the chef's face turned purple, Su Liu understood her refusal and found an excuse to reject the proposal.
Then she went to the corner and found an unused cooking table.
I have to say, this castle is really big. Even the kitchen is so big that you can't see the end of it. It can accommodate at least dozens of people cooking at the same time.
There were a lot of ingredients in the locker. Su Liu opened it and took a look, and found some fresh milk, cream, butter, matcha, honey, flour and other ingredients.
She looked at the other chefs and saw that the afternoon tea they prepared was nothing more than cakes, pizza, vegetable salads, etc.
It looked exquisite, but it really wasn't to her taste.
Seeing ham among the ingredients, Su Liu snapped his fingers and asked the person next to him: "Is there any fat meat, dear?"
The young chef was stunned. "Fat meat? You want to make afternoon tea?"
Doesn’t this young lady know what afternoon tea is?
Despite his doubts, he still gave Su Liu a piece of fatty pork.
Su Liu put on an apron and turned on the fire to fry lard.
The head chef had noticed the commotion, but she was very busy and might miss afternoon tea if she delayed any further.
When she finished her work with great concentration and took the time to come over, she saw that Su Liu had already finished boiling the lard and was deboning and peeling the ham and cutting the lean meat into small cubes.
She looked at the young chef and asked: What kind of ingredients are being wasted?
The head chef was in the kitchen, and the young chef said in a low voice, "She said she wanted to make some ham pie."
Ham...pie?
After seeing the ingredients prepared by Su Liu: honey, sugar, flour, lard, etc., the chef felt dizzy.
She hated it most when someone messed around in the kitchen. If someone made bad food, she would feel that it was a waste of food and become doubly furious.
Due to Su Liu's status, the head chef patiently asked, "Ms. Su Liu, please tell me what kind of food you like. I will try my best to replicate the same taste until you are satisfied."
As for me, please don't come to the kitchen to make trouble when it's so busy.
Su Liu heard the coldness in the chef's words, but everything had already been prepared, and he couldn't give up halfway.
"In half an hour at most, I'll be gone with my ham and white bread."
As he spoke, Su Liu had already mixed the diced ham with honey, lard, flour and other ingredients. After stirring evenly, he rolled out the dough and kneaded it into pancakes, stuffing the prepared ham filling into the pancakes.
There was an oven next to it. Su Liu put the prepared ham and white pancakes in it and set the time and temperature.
The head chef couldn't control her anger any more. She couldn't figure out what kind of dark dish Su Liu wanted to make.
But if Su Liu was allowed to mess around in the kitchen again, it would undoubtedly challenge her authority as the head chef.
"Ms. Su Liu, how about you go out first? I'll have someone deliver it to you after it's done."
The order to expel was too obvious. Su Liu took the matcha, cream, milk, etc., quickly made himself a cup of matcha milk tea, and walked out with it.
"Don't bother, I'll pick it up myself at the right time."
"No, please, please don't step into the kitchen again!" The head chef looked at the messy cooking table, his head really buzzing.
