"What's the matter with you, this kid, letting you go buy a red date for so long?" Qi Yu's mother, He Xiuzhen, took the red date in his hand as soon as he came back.

He Xiuzhen had prepared the other materials early, and now everything is ready, only red dates are needed.

"The quality of your jujube is good, how much did you buy it?"

"25 pounds. Qi Yu didn't dare to tell her mother that she was pitted, so she lied about the price to 25 yuan a catty.

"It's not good to ask you to buy something, let's make ordinary red dates for snacks, 25 yuan a pound of capital can't come back, forget it, I will hold a mobile phone all day long, I will be angry when I see you, let me stay behind." He Xiuzhen said angrily.

Qi Yu only felt that he was innocent of lying on the gun, not to mention that he lost 30 yuan on an errand trip, and he was scolded in vain.

He Xiuzhen has been making pastries for many years, so she is very familiar with all the processes, and soon the red dates that Qi Yu bought have been processed into brown sugar jujube cakes and served in the steamer.

During processing, He Xiuzhen found that the quality of this jujube was very good, and the meat was thick and sweet.

"It's a waste of such a good date to use it for snacks. He Xiuzhen is still lamenting that dates are expensive, after all, a pound of dates costs ten yuan more, and their pastry shop is originally a small business, but fortunately, his son bought two pounds for emergencies, and he should go on his own trip to replenish the stock tonight.

It's almost past two o'clock, and there are not many people in the vegetable market now, and it will soon usher in the peak of buying vegetables in the afternoon.

Qi Yu's shop is located in a vegetable market, although the location is not particularly good, but with the strong flow of people in the vegetable market, their pastry shop business is not bad.

Under the powerful fire of the steamer, the pastries in the pot began to swell and loosen, and the fragrance of the pastries began to overflow.

He Xiuzhen, who was busy behind the pastry shop, sighed: "The dates are different, and the taste seems to be a little stronger." ”

He Xiuzhen, who was wrapped in the fragrance of pastries, didn't know that the fragrance of her own pastries had spread outside the store.

The first thing I smelled was the merchant selling electric roast chicken next door: "Why is the steamed cake next door so fragrant today? Especially the red date flavor, has their family changed the recipe?"

But how can this pastry seller be as fragrant as his own roast chicken? Every day, when he arrives at the place where he buys vegetables, the shopkeeper doesn't take it seriously.

Soon, passers-by also smelled the rich fragrance of dates.

"Which store's jujube fragrance is so strong!"

"Isn't this the taste of brown sugar jujube cake? I still ate it when I was a child for the New Year, and I haven't eaten it for many years. ”

The white mist on the steamer, mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar and the fragrance of jujubes, attracted the attention of passers-by, and soon the first business came.

"Boss-boss-" He Xiuzhen, who was busy in the back kitchen, heard the shout and hurriedly ran to the front.

"It's coming—"

"Is this pot steaming brown sugar jujube cake?

"This brown sugar jujube cake has just been steamed in the pot for a while, and it is estimated that it will take about 10 minutes to wait, why don't you try other pastries?"

"How long is it going to take? "When the visitor heard that he would have to wait for so long, he decided to wait until it came out to buy it.

"Xiaoyu, come out and help me watch, remember to call me if you have business. Qi Yu, who was playing games in the corner, was pulled out by his mother again.

He hugged his mobile phone and said reluctantly: "Mom, just call me by my name, Xiaoyu is really too motherly." ”

"At that time, I thought that I could cultivate you into a beautiful jade, but I didn't expect that after so many years, I would develop a broken stone, and I wouldn't look at it at all, and someone came to call me!"

After that, a few customers came to ask about the brown sugar date cake, but because it was not out of the pot yet, those who didn't want to wait had to buy other pastries to try.

In this way, there are a few customers who are willing to wait.

"There used to be such a pastry shop hidden here in our vegetable market, and I never noticed it after so many times. "A few uncles and aunts in line were idle and chatting.

"This shop has been open for a long time, and I can smell the aroma of pastries every time I row the electric roast chicken next door, but I have never been to the restaurant before. ”

"How long is this brown sugar jujube cake, I've been waiting for five minutes. ”

Finally, in anticipation, He Xiuzhen took the newly baked brown sugar jujube cake from the steamer and brought it to the front. As the lid of the steamer was lifted, the scent of dates, which was even stronger than before, was accompanied by a hazy steam blowing towards the guests' faces.

"This cake is so fragrant, just like the fragrance of the Chinese New Year when we were children. "The aunts and uncles in line are all about the same age, and they can't help but recall the special era when they were children.

"Now there are few people who can make the kind of cake when I was a child, I hope the jujube cake in this store can have the taste in memory, boss, bring me two jujube cakes." ”

"I'll want two too. ”

Soon the people in line left with the hot jujube cakes, and He Xiuzhen made a total of two cages of jujube cakes, and removed one at once.

"Xiaoyu, you help me look at it, I'll go to the back and make a few more drawers of brown sugar date cakes, your dad goes to buy a flour and doesn't know where it went, and the old one doesn't give me peace of mind!"

"Got it, Mom, go get busy. ”

Soon, more brown sugar jujube cakes were put on the steamer, and the fragrance of red dates was stronger than before, which naturally attracted more and more people.

"Mom-when will the new cage of jujube cake be good-"

"It's coming, it's coming!" He Xiuzhen came out from the back with the freshly baked jujube cake, and saw that the queue at the door of her house was already two or three meters old, when did her business be so good?

The mother and son cashier together, and the team behind them was obviously much faster. It's just that even so, there are still many people at the door, and there are more and more people, and they will soon line up at the door of the electric roast chicken next door.

Seeing that the business of the pastry shop next door is getting better and better, my own family has no business today, it must be that the smell of their house is too fragrant, and it can't go on like this.

So the boss next door took out his secret weapon, the electric fan, and blew it hard against the electric oven, trying to spread the fragrance of his roast chicken.

When He Xiuzhen's husband Qi Guodong came over, he saw a long queue at his door, originally he thought it was the business of the electric roast chicken family next door, but he didn't expect to get closer and find that the end of the line was in his pastry shop?

"Your uncle is finally back, hurry up, go to the back to make five drawers of brown sugar jujube cakes. Before Qi Guodong had time to put down the flour, he was sent by his wife to the back kitchen to make cakes.

The guests who had asked about brown sugar jujube cake before came out of the vegetable market and saw the long line like a dragon dance, and suddenly felt a little worried. Why did you buy dishes for more than ten minutes, and the queue was so long, so was there still a row?

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decisively joined the queue, and the large number of people showed that this cake was delicious, and the row!

The boss who sold the electric roast chicken looked at the team next door with his cheeks, and suddenly scolded: "Damn, I'm a roast chicken seller who can't compare to other people's cake sellers, it's really evil." ”
