Chapter 69 This is too good
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Mr. Zeng’s birthday.
Xu Zhichun had already prepared the birthday noodles gift, but it was too big to be carried, so they finally decided to leave it at her house. When they set off tomorrow, Liang Lizheng and others would come and load it directly onto the ox cart.
The village chief Liang, Aunt Liang and others came to take a look a day in advance. Liang Minghai, Mrs. Liu, Liang Mingsong, Mrs. Zhao and others were curious and came to take a look as well.
Afraid that the birthday noodle gift would be covered with dust and look ugly, Xu Zhichun and Zeng Xiaoyan carefully covered it with a wooden box shortly after taking it out, just like they were packing a birthday cake.
She does have birthday cakes in her harbor warehouse space, and there are a lot of them, but it is impossible to take them out now.
The box was gently and slowly taken away from the top. Everyone's eyes followed it without blinking. Suddenly, their eyes lit up and they saw a mountain of seven layers of pastry products placed on the wooden tray on the Eight Immortals Table. They were exquisite and colorful, especially the huge longevity peach on the top. The tip of the peach was bright red, and the red gradually faded from the top to the delicate white, which was lifelike.
At first glance, it looks like the real thing.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Even Bai, the second daughter-in-law of the Liang family, who was full of disapproval at first, couldn't help but open her eyes wide and slightly open her mouth in shock.
This, this is so beautiful!
Aunt Liang cried out "Ah!" and covered her mouth, nervously afraid that the huge birthday peach would fall from the top. She subconsciously took two steps back, "Oh my God, this is the birthday noodle gift, it's so exquisite! How much effort must have gone into making it! Zhichun, you've worked so hard."
Liang Lizheng also nodded with emotion: "Yes, it's really hard work for you, Zhichun!"
The third daughter-in-law talked excitedly, even using gestures, but she had never seen anything like it before, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imagine what it looked like. She was also confused when she heard it, but she knew it must be very good.
Now that I see it, I realize how good it is!
Xu Zhichun kept saying in his heart, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!", and he couldn't help but speak modestly.
To be honest, she also admires the craftsmanship of being able to make such things.
Zeng Xiaoyan was proud of it, her smile blooming like a flower. "Can Dad and Mom rest assured now? I promise this birthday gift will be unique!"
Liang Lizheng and Aunt Liang both smiled and felt completely relieved.
Soon, the longevity noodles gift was carefully covered in a wooden box. Liang Lizheng and his wife expressed many words of gratitude, and the family left with great joy.
Bai deliberately lagged behind, and when she saw her family members walking away, she hurried back. She looked at Xu Zhichun with a smile and said, "Zhichun, when my father's birthday comes, can you also help me make a birthday noodle gift like this?"
Xu Zhichun nodded and smiled: "Sure, once you've discussed it, just come find me."
"Oh, well, thank you so much!"
"Mrs. Bai, you're welcome."
Anyway, there are still many things in the warehouse, with a wide variety of products, complete varieties and different shapes, suitable for all occasions, such as the elderly’s birthday, children’s birthday, New Year’s Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, business opening, and wedding.
Once this longevity noodle gift is presented at Mr. Zeng’s birthday banquet, it will surely spread and will soon be learned by pastry chefs or bakers in various pastry shops.
This is made of dough, and shaping and dyeing it is not difficult. There are still many skilled pastry chefs.
Who knows, before long, many pastry chefs will be able to make cakes that are even more exquisite and beautiful than this one.
This thing will not be so rare in the future.
Bai left happily, thinking that Xu was a pretty good person.
Would her family agree to do it? Of course they would. Why would they do it for my third brother's wife's family but not for my own family? Although my parents-in-law were partial, they wouldn't be so partial, otherwise she would make a fuss.
Early the next day, when the morning star was still low in the sky, Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhuer came to knock on Xu Zhichun's door.
The three of them had to hurry to make the ice jelly.
One hundred and eighty kilograms.
When they arrived, Xu Zhichun had already done fifty or sixty kilograms. There was no other way. If she wanted to cheat, she had to avoid people.
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhuer felt very guilty.
"Sister Zhichun, why are you up so early? Wait for us."
"Yeah, I told you to get up after the rooster crows twice. You're getting up too early."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I went to bed early last night, so I just woke up and got up. It's okay, let's finish it quickly, and we can still catch up on some sleep."
"That's true."
The three of them were all skilled workers. They talked and laughed while working together and never felt bored. By the time the sky gradually brightened, all the ice jelly had been made and solidified.
Zeng Xiaoyan went home and called Liang Mingliang, asking him to take her to the Lotus Restaurant alone.
Let's put the stall on hold for the next two days. I'll have time to set up the stall after Mr. Zeng's birthday banquet.
Aunt Zhu'er just wanted to take a two-day break and tidy up the vegetable garden and check out the land that had been cleared.
"Sister Zhichun, let's wait until Mingxuan comes back before we set off. I'm going to take a nap, you should take a break too."
"good."
Zeng Xiaoyan left yawning, and Aunt Zhuer also said goodbye and left.
Liang Mingxuan had already gotten up, "Sister-in-law, I can cook. You can take a nap and then get up to eat."
Xu Zhichun smiled helplessly and said okay, then went back to his room.
After registering for the Tongkat Ali exam, Liang Mingxuan diligently reviewed his lessons every day, but he also didn't neglect his housework. Xu Zhichun thought it would be helpful for him to stretch his muscles and change his mind, as reading all day would make him a bookworm, so he didn't stop him.
When the sun was high in the sky, Xu Zhichun, Liang Lizheng, Aunt Liang, Zeng Xiaoyan, and Liang Mingliang set out for Zeng's house, carrying various birthday gifts.
Liang Mingliang continued to drive the car.
When Xu Zhichun "made" the birthday noodles as a gift, Liang Lizheng originally planned to ask his wife to give her 500 coins, saying that this craft was very time-consuming. Xu Zhichun refused to take any money, so they had to give up. However, she was not allowed to prepare any extra birthday gifts.
The Liang family members all changed into new clothes today and sat on the ox cart carefully, fearing that they would get their clothes dirty and embarrass themselves when they went to the Zeng family.
The huge wooden box containing the longevity noodles was carefully supported by Liang Lizheng, and a thick layer of straw was placed at the bottom. Liang Lizheng also specifically instructed Liang Mingliang to drive the cart slowly, for fear that the longevity noodles would be damaged.
He was worried at first and was thinking of just carrying the basket and walking. Xu Zhichun repeatedly assured him that as long as the ox cart moved slowly and there was a thick layer of straw underneath, there would be no problem. Only then was Liang Lizheng reluctantly relieved.
Xu Zhichun couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety as she watched him and Aunt Liang tense and cautiously. These ancient roads really weren't very good. There was also a lot of cement in the warehouse. She remembered boarding a huge ocean liner, which was not only piled high with cement, but also with sand and gravel.
They are all good things, but how to use them after they are brought to you.
Although he walked at a snail's pace, he left home quite early. He arrived at Zeng's house around 11 o'clock in the morning.
It was so lively that the alley was packed.
