Chapter 570 New Products from Niuyi Research
The weather was warm and the sky was cloudless.
Even though it wasn't noon yet, it was already quite hot.
People shed their heavy clothes and put on light, breathable long gowns, as if this was the only way to do justice to the current weather.
Wan Qiqi likes the current weather; it's neither cold nor hot, and the single-layered skirt she's wearing is just right.
Upon entering the restaurant, there were already several tables of customers in the lobby on the first floor, with waiters serving them at each table, but it was clear that the number of waiters was incorrect.
"Manager Wan." Zhu Youcai looked up and greeted Wan Qiqi as she approached.
He then noticed that Wan Qiqi's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was very dissatisfied with the current state of the hall.
He looked in the direction Wan Qiqi was looking and saw that there were only a few tables of customers and a few waiters in the hall. He comforted her, "Manager Wan, it's still early. There will be more customers later. The restaurant is doing quite well and the profits are not too bad."
Wan Qiqi nodded, but her mind was elsewhere.
She glanced around and asked, "Are there many people taking a break today?"
Zhu Youcai then realized what Wan Qiqi was concerned about and hurriedly said, "No, they've all gone to the kitchen. Niu Yi came early today, saying he suddenly had a new idea and everyone's watching him make desserts!"
A sudden inspiration? Snacks?
Wan Qiqi looked suspicious, somewhat puzzled by this.
Although Niu Yi is skilled in making dim sum, sudden inspirations usually come from encountering or seeing something.
Wan Qiqi had doubts about this matter, but she didn't tell Zhu Youcai. She simply said, "I'll go check the kitchen."
After speaking, Wan Qiqi left the hall and headed towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen.
A plate of delicate pastries is usually placed on the table where the food is served.
The desserts are shaped like peach blossoms, pink in color, and look both beautiful and delicious.
Those around him praised him.
"Niuyi, this looks so delicious. I wonder what it tastes like. I really want to try it."
"Your skills are absolutely amazing. Even the pastries from Zuijianglou are no better than this."
"Niuyi, how did you make this red stuff? How did the noodles turn red? Is it edible? Could it be poisonous?"
Niu Yi stood to the side, feeling elated by everyone's praise. A smug smile curved his lips as he said, "Of course I can eat it! I guarantee you'll want more after you try it!"
"Really? Can I try it?" Hong Tian looked at the snacks on the table, smacked his lips a few times, and looked very tempted.
Niu Yi knew about the relationship between Hong Tian and Wan Qiqi, and with a smile, he handed over a pastry, saying, "Try it."
Hong Tian took a bite of the pastry, and half of the peach blossom was immediately gone, leaving pink crumbs all over his mouth.
Those watching couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Mmm...there's filling inside, it's really delicious!" Hong Tian finished all the pastries in a few bites, his hands still covered in the oil from the pastries.
He raised his arm to wipe his mouth, leaving pink crumbs on his sleeve, but he didn't care. He just stared intently at the remaining snacks on the table, his mouth watering.
Those around them, seeing this, were even more eager to try what the snack tasted like.
Niu Yi picked up two pieces and put them on a plate, saying, "I'll leave two pieces for the two owners, and you can eat the rest. Please see if this is acceptable."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the snacks on the table were swept away.
Those who were too slow to grab a bite could only watch as the successful people ate, feeling a pang of envy.
Hong Tian stood close by and managed to grab a piece. He only started eating after he withdrew from the encirclement, afraid that someone would snatch the food from his hands.
A hand patted Hong Tian on the shoulder, but Hong Tian didn't react and focused on eating his snack.
The hand patted again, but Hong Tian still didn't react.
It wasn't until the third slap and the sound of voices that Hong Tian came back to his senses.
"Move aside, you're blocking the way!"
Wan Qiqi's voice came from the doorway, attracting the attention of many people.
Hong Tian immediately stepped aside, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and grinned at Wan Qiqi, "Sister-in-law, you're here! Niu Yi made something delicious, you should try it."
Wan Qiqi didn't look at it immediately, but stared at the oil stains on Hong Tian's sleeves, her brows furrowing slightly. "Not paying attention to his appearance, his clothes are dirty and messy, deduct 5 coins from his pay."
"Huh?" Hong Tian stood there, looking somewhat bewildered.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately checked his clothes, fearing he would also be caught and have his pay docked.
When Niu Yi saw Wan Qiqi, his hand hanging under the table slowly clenched into a fist, and his heart began to beat faster. He stammered, "Manager Wan, I...I've made a pastry. Would you like to try it?"
He seemed a little nervous, and even his voice was trembling.
Wan Qiqi glanced down at the pastries on the plate, remained silent for a long time, and then reached out to pick up a piece and took a small bite.
A greasy taste hit my mouth, but it was quickly replaced by a light, sweet flavor.
She broke the pastry open and saw the red bean paste filling inside.
"Not bad. Go to the accounting office to register and collect your money for researching new products." Wan Qiqi didn't continue eating, but took the pastries with her.
Niu Yi felt somewhat disappointed upon seeing this.
He only had 200 coins to research new products, a far cry from his ten taels.
If the snacks can be sold online, and a lot are sold, he will also receive a share.
Judging from the restaurant's current business, it can earn two or three taels of silver every three days. If we borrow some more from Manager Wan, we can pay off this gambling debt.
But... it seems Manager Wan doesn't have that intention.
After hesitating for a long time, Niu Yi finally decided to take the money for researching the new product first. He could try his luck again and maybe he could make a profit.
Wan Qiqi came out of the kitchen and called Wu Gousheng to the study on the third floor. She handed Wu Gousheng the uneaten half of the pastry and asked him to try it.
