Chapter 191 Successful Improvement
When Xu Qingmeng arrived at Jinxiuxuan in the afternoon, Liu Zhigang had already made the improved version of the Chongyang cake that he had imagined.
A little honey was added to the pastry, and it was topped with candied fruit. One had maltose added and the other did not.
The one with maltose will make people who love sweets drool, but Xu Qingmeng, who doesn't have such a strong taste, thinks the one without maltose is better.
Xu Qingmeng tasted the one containing maltose and found it acceptable. The candied fruit was plum, and it had a sweet and salty taste with a hint of sourness.
Xu Qingmeng took a bite and tasted both sweet and salty, with the taste slightly salty, which made it seem like there was no order of importance.
Of course, this is just Xu Qingmeng's own taste. She prefers it without maltose.
According to the current tastes of the general public, both models are good, especially the one with maltose, which adds a lot to the visual experience.
"Boss, how is it?"
Liu Zhigang looked at Xu Qingmeng nervously.
The others were also looking at this side intently, feeling very envious.
Xu Qingmeng nodded as everyone looked at her: "Not bad, it's delicious."
Liu Zhigang's nervous expression immediately calmed down and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, boss."
He knew that Xu Qingmeng had a light taste, so he made two kinds, but she tasted them both and gave him her approval.
He did not judge this strongly flavored snack based on his own taste. He was truly excited and had even more respect for Xu Qingmeng.
"After the Double Ninth Festival, this snack can be served. Of course, you have to figure it out and leave an accurate recipe to avoid having two different pots."
"Well, I remember it, Boss."
Xu Qing dreamed of something and said, "Although this snack was created by you, you can sell it to others or give it to others, but since you are still in the shop, this recipe cannot be spread outside, do you know?"
There is a clause in the contract that Xu Qingmeng signed with them. During this period, if you create new dim sum, you can keep the recipe for yourself, but you are not allowed to sell it or teach it during your employment. This and the recipe you learned are confidential.
Liu Zhigang said seriously: "Boss, don't worry, I know this. If anyone in the kitchen wants to learn, I can teach you."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Whether to teach or not is up to you. Of course, the shop won't use your house casually. I'll talk to the shopkeeper later and give you an extra sum of money along with next month's wages."
Everyone looked at Liu Zhigang with envy. As expected, money can motivate others at any time.
Except for Liu Zhigang, the rest of the people were very excited. After all, what Xu Qingmeng said was almost as much as Liu Zhigang's three months' silver, or even more.
Liu Zhigang said embarrassedly: "Boss, this is too much. I am not innovative. I just made some changes based on yours."
"What's yours is yours. This isn't just for you. The same goes for Xing'er and the others' drinks. But for the snacks, you're the first one."
After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she looked at everyone again: "This rule has always been prevalent in the beverage department, which is why the sales of beverages were not as high as those of snacks before, but their monthly salary is higher than all of you.
Although the shop is not big, we follow a principle, that is, rewards and punishments are clear, those who do well will be punished, and those who do something that is detrimental to the shop will never be tolerated. "
"As long as it's for the good of the shop, we will give you the rewards you deserve. We will never be stingy. Just relax. As long as you can make new dim sum like Liu Zhigang and the taste is recognized, you will all get some extra money."
"Of course, I know more than just these dim sum. Don't try to pass off other local specialties as your own. If I find out, then..."
Everyone kept it in mind.
After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she left the kitchen after a while.
Before leaving, he told the shopkeeper about the reward. The shopkeeper had no objection. After all, this was not a new thing in the shop.
The shopkeeper also knew that the boss did not treat these apprentices as outsiders, which was of course better, as it gave them motivation and enabled them to work harder.
The shop thinks of them, and they will naturally contribute their own efforts to the shop.
After Xu Qingmeng took care of the things in the shop, she didn't go there every day.
After all, Yan County is a relatively small place. Gu Yunyi's injury not only caused a lot of controversy, but part of the reason was that he won the third place in the imperial examination.
Although there were rumors everywhere outside, there were still many people visiting the Shen family every day.
He was busy receiving guests, but she was alone after all. If she met someone who brought gifts or had a good relationship with her, she would invite them to stay for dinner or something.
This requires Xu Qingmeng to be busy, but Xinting will come back at noon every day because she doesn't want her aunt to be too tired.
Xu Qingmeng always said that she was fine and asked her not to get too tired and not to run back and forth like this. Xinting would always say, "Aunt, I'm not worried about you, but about the little brother or sister in your belly."
When Xu Qingmeng heard this, she had no way to refute it and could only let her go.
After two days, there were fewer people at home and everyone had some free time.
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li also came to ask specifically when the store would open.
He thought for a moment and said, "It will only be these two days. There are many people at home these two days, so it's not very convenient. We should clean up in these two days and then we can open the door."
The delay of a few days resulted in a lot of lost money, and He was heartbroken.
Then he thought for a moment and said, "How about tomorrow? I'll have someone send some meat and vegetables over later."
Just as Mrs. Tang was about to say something, she heard someone knocking on the door.
When the three of them turned around, they saw a young man standing at the door.
Seeing the three people looking at him, he hurriedly bowed and asked, "Excuse me, is this Madam Gu's home?"
The He family members looked at each other. Are they here to find Meng Niang?
He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, young man, what can I do for you?"
As soon as the young man heard it, he knew he had found the right one!
The young man was a waiter at Fucheng Noodle Restaurant, and he felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, Mr. Gu was quite famous in Yan County, so he didn't take any detours. When he arrived in Yan County, he found out the address of the Gu family as soon as he asked.
He quickly explained to He: "Madam, I came here from the capital. Our shopkeeper had an appointment with Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu. I wonder if you two could come out to talk?"
At this time, Xu Qingmeng was taking a nap in the side room. He asked the young man to sit in the front hall and then went to call Xu Qingmeng.
