Guoguo has delicate skin and is always attracted by mosquitoes, which bite her with a big red bite.

When checking out, Shen Mingzhu saw some Band-Aids on the shelf next to the cash register and picked up two large boxes.

Band-Aids are not common in Fengcheng and are difficult to buy in general pharmacies.

Back in the hotel room, Shen Mingzhu remembered the red envelope given by Pei Ke. When she opened it, she found that it contained five Hong Kong dollar bills with a denomination of one thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Pei Ke lives in a public housing unit and his home is simply furnished, not like he has a particularly good financial situation.

However, the other party has been working in Hong Kong for more than ten or twenty years and has not married, so it is not surprising that he has saved some money.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu calmly put the five Hong Kong dollars into her wallet, planning to go to the mall when she had time to buy some snacks and toys for the children.

In the evening, Shen Mingzhu declined Yan Su's invitation to take her out for an outing and went to the baking kitchen alone to practice baking the pastries she was going to make tomorrow.

This charity dinner was organized by a very famous charity foundation in Hong Kong. The venue, food, drinks, etc. of the dinner were all sponsored by various families or companies.

The Ning family sponsored dim sum.

There are ten pastry chefs in total, and each pastry chef is responsible for two types of pastries.

The snacks made by Shen Mingzhu are snow skin mooncakes and snow meringues.

She already knew the recipes of these two snacks by heart, and she was practicing now just to adapt to the new environment and get a feel for it.

After practicing her own dim sum, Shen Mingzhu also observed and learned from other pastry chefs’ skills and works, and gained a lot.

…

The next day, Shen Mingzhu got up very early.

After breakfast, it was just past 8 o'clock when I arrived at the baking kitchen.

I thought she arrived early, but when I got there I found that all the other pastry chefs were already there, and some had even started producing products.

Shen Mingzhu also felt a sense of urgency and quickly changed into work clothes and started to get busy.

I was busy until four in the afternoon, and finally finished making one hundred snow skin mooncakes and one hundred snow meringues.

Although there were nearly a thousand guests at the dinner, due to the wide variety of dishes, the quantity of each dish and snack prepared was not large.

After all, those who are qualified to attend the dinner are all leaders in their respective industries, celebrities and stars. They are too busy with socializing and no one will stare at the food.

When other pastry chefs finish their products, the material basins are basically empty.

Only in the bowl in front of Shen Mingzhu there were still a lot of fillings, fruit pieces, cream, and dough left.

The other pastry chefs all looked at her strangely.

The supervisor in charge of dim sum also unhappily scolded her for being unprofessional and not even knowing how much materials were needed.

The dim sum manager only stopped talking when Shen Mingzhu said she would spend money to buy up the unused materials.

The prepared snacks were taken away by the waiters on a cart. The pastry chef's work was completed and they changed their clothes and left one after another.

Soon, Shen Mingzhu was the only one left in the baking room.

She covered the basin tightly with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Then she changed her clothes and planned to go back to her room to rest for a while.

When I arrived at the door, I found Peck coming in, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. I didn't know how long he had been waiting, and there were a lot of things piled at his feet.

"Uncle."

Seeing her, Peck smiled.

"You left in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't get you anything. I bought some things today. You can take them back to Ziheng and Guoguo. They are all food and clothes."

Shen Mingzhu didn't bother to be polite with the other party. After thanking him, she took the things back to her room.

Afterwards, we invited Pei Ke to have a simple meal at the hotel's Chinese restaurant.

It was already 6:30 when we got back to the room.

Shen Mingzhu fell on the bed and didn't want to move.

She just wanted to have a good sleep.

…

While I was half asleep, someone slammed the door loudly.

Shen Mingzhu got up from the bed and opened the door. It was the dim sum supervisor who had scolded her before.

Seeing her sleepy eyes, the supervisor pulled her over and said, "Something bad has happened. Come on, follow me to the bakery."

Upon hearing what had happened, Shen Mingzhu woke up instantly from her doze.

He didn't even bother to wash his face or comb his hair. He just put on his shoes and hurried out the door.

Along the way, Shen Mingzhu asked several times in an indirect way, but the supervisor didn't say anything, which made Shen Mingzhu nervous and wonder what had happened.

"Hurry up, make another hundred snowy mooncakes and snowy mooncakes."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

As soon as she entered the bakery, the pastry supervisor gave her urgent instructions.

"Manager Xu, you called me here in such a hurry, is this why?"

"Yeah, oh my, the dinner hasn't even started yet and the snowy mooncakes and snow meringues have been taken away. Now there are two empty plates sitting there, how ugly!"

Shen Mingzhu quickly took out the materials from the cold storage, rolled up her sleeves and started working.

With the help of Manager Xu and two other pastry chefs, one hundred pieces of snow skin mooncakes and snow meringues were ready in half an hour.

After the waiter brought the snow skin mooncakes and snow meringues to the banquet, Manager Xu patted Shen Mingzhu's shoulder with a sigh of relief.

"Luckily you had plenty of supplies, otherwise there would have been an accident tonight!"

After saying that, what was he thinking, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"I like to be prepared for any eventuality, and I have enough confidence in myself."

Shen Mingzhu used the remaining scraps in the basin of ingredients to make snow skin mooncakes and snow meringues for Manager Xu and the two pastry chefs who assisted him.

After eating, the three of them gave her a thumbs-up.

"I didn't expect that there are such delicious pastries in the mainland. To be able to teach such an excellent apprentice like you, your master must be even more powerful."

"I don't have a master. I came up with these snacks by myself."

Hearing this, the two pastry chefs were surprised.

It took them at least ten years or even longer to get to where they are today, from being apprentices to entering the industry, to becoming masters, and then becoming well-known in the dim sum industry.

Shen Mingzhu is so young, but she can make such delicious and novel snacks just by relying on her own ideas. Such talent cannot but make them jealous.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Mingzhu went back to her room to change clothes and put on makeup, preparing to attend the dinner.

Although she didn't have an invitation, she could enter in the name of Yan Su's companion.

The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the banquet hall at eight o'clock.

But at 8:05, Yan Su still hadn't shown up. She didn't want to stand at the door of the banquet hall like a pillar, so she walked to the cafe next door.

The cafe is open air, with round glass tables and rattan chairs.

Shen Mingzhu found a seat where she could see the entrance to the banquet hall and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a conversation in Cantonese behind me, "Who told you to be so stubborn and suffer so much? You insisted on wearing something that's half a size too small. Your heels are bleeding from being rubbed, and you have to dance soon. What are you going to do?"

Another younger female voice rang out: "These shoes are the only ones that match my skirt. What can I do?"

Shen Mingzhu turned her head and saw a beautiful girl in a silver sequined backless dress, sitting with her back to her, frowning and observing her injured heel.

She hesitated for a moment, opened her handbag, took out two spare band-aids and handed them over. (End of this chapter)
