Chapter 260 Homemade Desserts
Ye Mingzhu finally understood after hearing this: "Is someone trying to find out the recipe for the snack?"
Ruan Linlin nodded, tilted her head slightly to glance in the direction of the kitchen, and lowered her voice: "Recently, there have been obviously more people coming to the shop. They don't buy many snacks, but they stay for a long time."
"I promise, someone will cause trouble for Aunt Mo. What if, I mean what if, they manage to steal the formula from Aunt Mo?"
Ruan Linlin was really worried. It was too obvious that some people had bad intentions. Aunt Mo was now the cash cow of the pastry shop. If someone cheated her out of the recipe, it would be a huge blow to the pastry shop.
"Don't worry, no one can steal the formula from Aunt Mo." Ye Mingzhu was very calm. "If you're worried about Aunt Mo, you might as well worry about others."
Ruan Linlin didn't know why Ye Mingzhu trusted Aunt Mo so much. She hid her doubts in her heart and continued, "Hongdou and Ziye are very serious about learning from Aunt Mo. Hongdou is very talented. After making Aunt Mo's new dim sum, she has almost mastered all the others."
"In addition to learning how to make dim sum, Ziye also learned how to manage a shop. Although her skills are not as good as Hongdou's, she is very good at accounting."
"Well, in the kitchen, everything is up to Aunt Mo. She can do whatever she wants." Ye Mingzhu's words were the greatest support for Aunt Mo.
"How is Wu Tie?" Ye Mingzhu still remembered the young boy.
"Wu Tie is even more talented than Hongdou. Not only did he learn Aunt Mo's craft, he also created his own dim sum a few days ago, and it's selling pretty well now."
Ruan Linlin's face was full of smiles. "Although Wu Tie is young, he is very clever. Those girls who come to play with Mo Xing and Mo Wan are often chased away by him. Fortunately, he is young, otherwise, those girls would be irritated to tears by him."
Ye Mingzhu nodded in understanding, then called Wu Yue in and asked him a few questions about the shop.
Wu Yue's statement was similar to Ruan Linlin's, but she emphasized that Mo Xing and Mo Wan had no talent for making snacks.
"The snacks Mo Xing makes always lack that little bit of flavor. Mo Wan is very good at calculating, so she's more suitable to be an accountant."
After hearing her comments about Mo Xing and Mo Wan, Ye Mingzhu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you think Mo Xing and Mo Wan are not suitable to stay in the shop?"
"If Aunt Mo can keep making snacks, then of course there's no problem." Wu Yue looked thoughtful. "But Aunt Mo's only apprentice is Wu Tie now..."
Ye Mingzhu understood what she meant. She wanted Aunt Mo to recommend a few more apprentices.
"Have you asked Aunt Mo what she thinks about this?"
"No," Wu Yue shook her head. "Xiao Tie follows Aunt Mo to learn how to make dim sum. It's not appropriate for me to say this. Besides, Aunt Mo is very busy because people keep coming to see her lately."
Ye Mingzhu nodded, indicating that she could go out.
Before leaving, Wu Yue looked back at her, bit her lower lip, and asked, "Boss, if you hire someone again, will you still choose from the farm?"
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised that she would ask this, but she turned around and said seriously: "I have no plans to hire anyone for the time being. This pastry shop is enough with just you guys."
Wu Yue didn't say anything else and walked out with his head down.
Ye Mingzhu pondered for a moment and asked someone to call Wu Tie in.
Wu Tie was wearing light-colored clothes and a white apron. If he wore a chef's hat, he would definitely look like a little chef.
"Boss, you're looking for me." Wu Tie came in, closed the door gently, and then stood in front of Ye Mingzhu.
"Please sit down. You have been making snacks all morning. Are you tired?" Ye Mingzhu found that Wu Tie was taller than the last time they met. The cunning smile on his face was gone, and he looked much more stable.
"Boss, I'm not tired. Most of the snacks were made by the chef. He said that I'm young and still growing, so he doesn't let me do heavy work." Wu Tie called him "Master" affectionately.
"I heard that you not only learned all of Aunt Mo's skills, but also created new snacks, right?" Ye Mingzhu lowered her voice, sounding much softer.
"It's all thanks to my good teaching." Wu Tie's face flushed slightly. "Every time my master makes dim sum, he moves very slowly. He's afraid that I won't understand, so he even explains it to me."
"Auntie Mo did a good job, I will reward you, and you created a new snack, I will also reward you." Ye Mingzhu could see that the child was speaking the truth, and he had a very good relationship with Auntie Mo.
"I didn't make the dim sum myself." Wu Tie lowered his voice. "My master helped me, and Senior Sister Mo Wan also taught me a lot."
"Mo Wan?" Ye Mingzhu asked in surprise, "Didn't they say Mo Wan had no talent for making dim sum?"
"Senior Sister Mo Wan doesn't have much talent for making dim sum, but she has a very good tongue. With her help, the dim sum I make tastes truly delicious."
Wu Tie's face was full of humility: "Although I made the dim sum, it is not my own creation. I made it with the help of my master and Senior Sister Mo Wan. Boss, you don't have to reward me."
Ye Mingzhu was speechless for a moment. This child was too honest, and his respect for Aunt Mo came from the heart.
"Well, do you think that if Mo Xing and Mo Wan stay in the kitchen, they can help you and Aunt Mo?"
Wu Tie's eyes were filled with confusion. "Both senior sisters are doing very well. They used to learn cooking from Aunt Mo. They both know the basic pastry recipes."
Ye Mingzhu nodded thoughtfully, and Wu Tiecai said uncertainly: "However, the two senior sisters have no interest in making dim sum. I once heard Senior Sister Mo Wan tell Aunt Mo that she didn't want to make dim sum in the future."
Ye Mingzhu kept this matter in mind, thinking of asking Aunt Mo later.
Wu Tie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, then closed it again.
"What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on?"
Ye Mingzhu wanted him to take care of Aunt Mo in her future, so she was very tolerant towards him.
"Boss, a few days ago, when we returned to the farm, Erya came to see my aunt and wanted her to ask the master to let her work in the pastry shop."
When Wu Tie said this, his face was full of trepidation: "My aunt didn't agree. Erya even cried at that time, saying that her mother wanted to marry her off, but she didn't want to get married."
"Erya?" Ye Mingzhu remembered that Wu Yue had wanted to introduce Erya to Aunt Mo as an apprentice, but later found out that Wu Tie was talented, so Aunt Mo accepted Wu Tie.
"Who else knows about what you said?" Ye Mingzhu thought of what Wu Yue said just now, and always felt that there was something else behind her words.
"My master and I heard it together. My master didn't let me tell my parents, saying that the owner has the final say in all matters in the shop." Wu Tie said in a low voice.
"Oh? Then tell me today, was it your master who asked you to tell it?" Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that Aunt Mo also knew about this.
