"Invitation?", Hu Lei was stunned, "You're getting married?"

Xuanyuan Jian raised his eyebrows, "What kind of marriage, this young master hasn't played enough, it's my grandfather!"

Hu Lei's face was full of surprise, "Your grandfather, my eldest brother is getting married?

Although Hu Lei had only met Ouyang Chao once, this uncle left him with an extremely innocent image. After all, how many people still remember a portrait from decades ago?

Some time ago, I was still sighing in front of myself, and the listener who sighed in one breath was sad. But how long has it been, and you're ready to remarry?

"What a mess. Xuanyuan Jian's face hurt, "Today is my grandfather's eightieth birthday, I remember telling you last time!"

"Uh......", Hu Lei was stunned, and suddenly he was a little surprised, Xuanyuan Jian remembered it when he said this.

The last time Xuanyuan Jian came, he really mentioned such a mouth, but at that time, it was really when Tao Keming and Tao Zhouzhou's father and daughter were doing things. And Xuanyuan Jian also said vaguely, and the time and place were not clear, so that Hu Lei almost forgot about it.

"Today?", Hu Lei asked.

Xuanyuan Jian nodded.

"What time is it?"

"Twelve o'clock at noon!"

Hu Lei looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in this Nima, "Why didn't you remind me earlier, I didn't prepare any gifts!"

"Hey, what kind of gifts are you going to prepare!", Xuanyuan Jian waved his hand, "Just rely on your identity as Lao Hu, isn't it enough for me and other mortals to kneel and lick anything?"

Hu Lei looked at Xuanyuan Jian's undisciplined appearance with a black line, "What do you want to do?"

"I think my grandfather will be very happy if there is a white jade Guanyin bamboo as a gift. ”

"......," Hu Lei looked him up and down. How do you feel that the Ouyang family still wants to snatch the Qingxinzhu away from him, but then he expelled this idea from his mind, after all, Ouyang Yue returned it to him without hesitation last time, but if the Ouyang family has any other thoughts, Qingxinzhu is no longer in his hands at this time.

While Hu Lei was pondering, Xuanyuan Jian smiled, "Look at what scares you, I'm just joking." Just let the person go, gifts or something, with the relationship between you and my Ouyang family, it doesn't matter at all. ”

"Really?", Hu Lei was skeptical.

"Of course it's true, I'll be really sad if you still doubt it!"

"Okay!"

Seeing that Hu Lei was no longer entangled, Xuanyuan Jian finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It is a task given by the old man himself to fool Hu Lei into attending the birthday banquet, if he messes up because of his own jokes, the old man has to stage a righteous killing of relatives in front of all the guests!

Hu Lei didn't know Xuanyuan's careful thoughts at this time, but he still felt that something was wrong. After all, it is the eightieth birthday of the Ouyang Dynasty, and it is okay if you don't go, but if you want to go, you can't be empty-handed. First of all, there is a loss in etiquette, and secondly...... It is foreseeable that there are definitely many celebrities who go to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Ouyang Dynasty, and it will not be cost-effective to be forced by a second generation who does not open because of this.

But what kind of gift to give? Hu Lei had a headache, after all, he had never attended such a birthday banquet. It's not like giving your parents a birthday greeting!

Hey, wait, it's not impossible to think about it!

"You wait for me first!", Hu Lei didn't care about Xuanyuan Jian, went upstairs to get the peach jam he got from the last lottery and ran outside.

Xuanyuan Jian was stunned, and by the time he reacted, Hu Lei had already disappeared. He wailed in his heart, big brother, don't play hide and seek with me at this juncture!

Let's say that Hu Lei trotted to the second store next door, which would be a few hours before business hours, but Lu Zhiang was really busy in the kitchen, and this buddy's diligence really made Hu Lei feel ashamed.

But time is running out right now, and this is not the time for self-examination.

"Marinade, do you know how to make longevity peaches?", Hu Lei went straight to the point.

Lu Zhiang was busy preparing the ingredients needed for today's sale at this time, and a figure came from behind Leng Buding, so frightened that he almost threw the knife in his hand out, but he was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Boss, why are you here?", he reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, "Shou Tao, I'll do it!"

"How long will it take?"

"Well, I just have awakened dough, and if I make it directly, it will take more than half an hour. Obviously, Lu Zhiang also saw Hu Lei's anxiety, although he didn't know why, but meeting the needs of the boss was also the basic quality that a good employee should have.

"That's great!", Hu Lei was immediately happy.

Although he can't make pastries, he is not a person who knows how to cook at all. For pasta that uses the steaming process, in the process of making it, in fact, the most time-consuming is the dough making process, and it is time-consuming and laborious to mix and knead the dough. However, the most time-consuming process is the process of resting the dough, which really requires time to slowly grind the dough so that the dough undergoes some gratifying changes at the molecular level, so as to achieve a soft and beautiful taste.

To put it simply, the dough is not good to wake up, and what is steamed out is just a lump of stones, and there is no vitality in the hard state. This is true for steamed buns, full heads and even longevity peaches.

Originally, Hu Lei came to find Lu Zhiang with the intention of just in case, but he didn't expect that there was just a dough that had been successfully awakened, which was enough to make Hu Lei feel happy.

Hu Lei's joy Lu Zhiang felt sincerely, and he asked directly without nonsense, "Boss, how big do you need a longevity peach, and how much?"

Hu Lei is in trouble now, he knows the custom of giving longevity peaches, but as for how big and how much he needs to do, he is really blind.

It seems that in the past, when everyone in the village celebrated their birthdays, the longevity peaches could be as big as they could be!

Hu Lei pondered for a moment and said, "We don't pursue volume, only realistic, can we do it?"

Lu Zhiang nodded solemnly, "Yes." The words are concise but calm and powerful like a military order.

Hu Lei smiled and handed the peach jam to Lu Zhiang, "If you have the quantity...... Let's do eight, it happens to be the old man's 80th birthday. But you need to save some time on this thing, and that's all I'll do. ”

The moment the altar was opened, a fragrance permeated from the altar. Lu Zhiang unconsciously closed his eyes and took a deep breath, this breath was sweet and fragrant, and more importantly, it was full of life, giving him a feeling of comfort all over his body.

"It's ...... Peach jam?", Lu Zhiang's face was full of incredible surprise, this fragrance smelled clearly like a newly ripe fruit hanging on the branches.

However, during the time he worked in the small shop, he had discovered too much of Hu Lei's incredibleness. His boss always seems to be able to come up with something good that ordinary people have never heard of, just like the kind of wine called Seven Steps Drunk, although he has only drunk it once, but that wonderful enjoyment Lu Zhiang is still unforgettable.

Gathering his mind, Lu Zhiang refocused his attention on the moment, "Boss, are you planning to let me use this peach jam to make longevity peaches?"

The most common longevity peaches in Yanhuang are eight-stuffed longevity peaches and auspicious longevity peaches, and the biggest difference between these two longevity peaches is that their fillings are different.

As the name suggests, the filling of the peach is made of eight kinds of accessories: dates, dried apricots, raisins, pine nuts, hawthorn strips, pineapple candied fruit, melon seeds, and peanut kernels. The filling of auspicious longevity peach is relatively simple, generally speaking, it is cooked bean paste or lotus paste. Aside from the beautiful meaning brought by its shape, its essence is actually a bean paste bag.

However, no matter what kind of shou peach, there has never been a precedent for using jam as a filling. However, when I think about it, using such high-quality peach jam to make Shou Peach is really suitable for the occasion.

Lu Zhiang was a little excited, and he suddenly felt that maybe the longevity peach he made today would be a milestone work in his pastry career.
