Yang Zhou attended a company interview today.
It was already dark when I got back to the dorm. Just thinking about eating the landlady's cake later made my mouth water.
"Sweetness fills the ice-covered heart overnight, its brilliance a masterpiece of nature."
He pushed open the dormitory door, but did not smell the cake aroma he had imagined.
The brothers are taking turns throwing darts.
"What are you doing?" Yang Zhou asked, puzzled. "Where's my cake? Did you eat it all?"
As soon as Lu Zi saw Yang Zhou return, he picked up a dart and handed it to him: "Brother! Come on, let's stab this scumbag to death together."
Yang Zhou stared blankly at the green dart in his hand, then at the target.
It turned out to be a photo of a handsome man with deep, hollow peach blossom eyes, because one of his eyes had been pierced with a large hole.
"Um...who among you got cheated on by him?"
Lu Ziyi: "This man's name is Xiao Jiang."
"I don't remember the specific name."
"The poster was something they insisted on giving me after they snatched my sister's cake roll last time."
"It's this Xiao Jiang! He ate our boss's cake! It caused the boss to be exposed for dating him, fans were demanding refunds, and the reseller cancelled all cake orders for today!"
"Tell me! Should I get it done or not?!"
Yang Zhou stared coldly at the dart in his hand.
A dart flew past and hit him right between the eyebrows.
A hundred miles away, Jiang Yuze suddenly sneezed, "Achoo!" It must be that one of his crazy fans has lost his temper again.
...
A light drizzle began to fall in the early hours of the morning.
This was the first rain Qin Yi had encountered since she started her stall.
With only two days left in this mission, she doesn't expect the business to be booming; she just hopes to make ends meet with basic living allowances and get through the day lying around doing nothing.
Qin Yi loaded the purchased materials onto the car and arrived at Zhuangwangyuan at four o'clock sharp to set up her stall.
The cold snap started today, and it's especially chilly at night. Actors' start time has been postponed to 8 a.m.
It's time to come up with new products; selling the same desserts every day is really boring.
She had some free time before finishing work yesterday, so she cooked a big pot of gardenia-flavored cream. Today she wants to make a gardenia-scented cake roll.
Lift the carriage curtain.
Outside the window, the rain patters against the car awning, and the wind gently blows the peach blossoms.
Qin Yi stared blankly at the pink and white peach blossoms that had fallen to the ground.
A sudden inspiration struck, so I took out a piping bag and various edible vegetable powders for coloring, ready to create something fancy.
In her past life, she was a makeup artist on a film set, and she had done a lot of traditional Chinese floral decorations, which came in handy today.
First, dissolve the colored powders in warm water, such as red yeast rice powder (red), spinach powder (green), cocoa powder (brown), and butterfly pea flower powder (blue).
Preheat the oven to 120°C (low temperature). This temperature should not be too high, otherwise the batter will brown.
Next, proceed with the normal steps to make the egg yolk batter and whip the egg whites.
Then take one-third of the well-mixed egg batter and use it for drawing, turning it into spinach batter, red yeast rice powder batter, and cocoa batter respectively.
Mix one-third of the batter to make a blue butterfly pea flower paste.
Fill various pastes into piping bags, use green, red, and brown to draw peach blossom patterns, and bake for two minutes to set.
Next, pipe on the blue butterfly pea flower paste, gently tap the mold, and finally add the original-colored cake batter as the last layer before baking.
Bake at a low temperature of 120°C throughout the process to prevent browning.
While the cake roll was baking, Qin Yi whipped a bowl of gardenia cream and hand-rolled a pot of transparent balls with rose petals using tapioca flour.
The tapioca flour dumplings are translucent, and with the addition of rose petals in rose syrup, they are incredibly beautiful.
If you're going to be beautiful, be beautiful to the extreme, exuding fragrance from the inside out.
Once the cake was out of the oven, Qin Yi couldn't wait to assemble the first painted peach blossom roll.
The background color is a light hazy blue, with two branches of pinkish-white peach blossoms outlined on it.
On the left branch, three bright red flowers bloom together, and below them, several white and pink flowers are scattered in a pleasing manner.
The branch on the right is thinner, and it follows the outline of the pattern on the left to form a wavy branch. On the branch are peach blossoms of different sizes, and occasionally a few buds are waiting to bloom.
Place this peach blossom design at the bottom, top the cake slices with fragrant gardenia cream, and sprinkle rose petals in the middle.
Turn it over, roll it up gently, trim off the waste material at the edges, and leave a complete peach blossom picture.
"The sky is the color of rain and mist, and I am waiting for you."
As soon as the cake roll was served, Qin Yi started humming a song from her past life.
Following this template, she drew many more peach blossom paintings.
The more she painted, the more beautiful and captivating it became, to the point that she forgot about time, as if everything in the world had stood still.
[Getting Better and Better 3/3]
...
An oil-paper umbrella, a white dress.
Raindrops fell in lines around her, becoming part of the background.
She lifted her skirt with one hand and held an umbrella with the other, slowly walking to the cake cart.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Boss, I'd like to buy your cake roll."
Qin Yi was pulled out of her reverie when she heard the sound.
When he came to his senses, he found dozens of peach blossom scrolls laid out in front of him, and even his talent, which was gradually improving, had awakened to the third level.
Today, Zixuan is wearing a white stand-up collar long shirt with a diagonal placket, paired with a peacock green pleated long skirt, a classic Chinese style look.
"My dear, this Peach Blossom Cake Roll is perfect for you today."
The peach blossoms were so lifelike, so fresh they looked like they were about to drip water, and the gardenias had a wonderfully fragrant scent.
Even Zixuan, who isn't particularly obsessed with desserts, was impressed: "Boss, with your skills, it's no wonder you're so popular."
Send me forty copies of the mixed-up book to treat everyone on set, and five more copies of "Peach Blossom and Gardenia" to give away.
Qin Yi gave Qingzi a knowing look, quickly took the money, and helped her move the goods.
Jing Tian and the other photographers didn't miss the moment when Zi Xuan went to buy a cake; they had already taken photos and were waiting for the right moment to post them.
[Jiang Yuze's studio responds: The dating rumors are false; he does not know the dessert shop owner; the photos were taken out of context; we reserve the right to pursue legal action.]
"Thank you for your help." A white paper bag with gold trim was placed in front of Jiang Yuze's dressing table.
"Actually, it's not really helping. We would have issued a statement anyway, but we sped things up." Jiang Yuze smelled a faint scent of gardenias, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He really liked this gift.
"Heh, you still love desserts so much." Zi Xuan turned and left, leaving him with a question that left him completely baffled.
The scent of her perfume, also from gardenias, lingered in the air...
When Jing Tian arrived this morning, he saw Qin Yi with her head down, completely focused on making a cake. He felt bad about canceling the order yesterday and was too embarrassed to approach the girl again. Although he asked a friend to post a clarification, the public was more willing to believe the photos than the actual pictures.
I was listless and not very enthusiastic during the live stream today, except for taking a few photos seriously when Zixuan came down to buy a cake.
Have you seen the news? My brother's studio has issued a clarification!
[What clarification? A clarification about the relationship?]
[Raindrop babies, go check this out! It was just posted two minutes ago!] [Jiang Yuze's fan nickname]
[Oh my god! I'm alive again! I knew my brother wasn't dating! He exudes the fresh scent of a single dog!]
[Upstairs, you said yesterday that your intuition was very accurate, and that your brother's gaze made you jealous, but it turns out they don't even know each other.]
Hehe, I'm nearsighted with an 800-degree prescription.
Thinking about it now, we wronged the cake-making lady yesterday. I wonder if her business has been affected.
[Yeah, ask Lao Jing! Lao Jing, where are you?]
"Girl! Check your phone! Jiang Yuze has cleared his name, you're innocent!"
Jingtian, holding his phone, ran happily toward the dessert truck.
