Before returning to the office, Ye Xiaojing remembered that Cheng Qixin had instructed her in the morning to urge the people in the finance department to hand in the report as soon as possible, she thought about it and decided to take advantage of it now.

At this time, it was lunch break, and in the finance department, several female employees were chatting about something, but when they found Ye Xiaojing appearing at the door, they all shut up very tacitly.

Although Ye Xiaojing had some doubts in her heart, it was inconvenient to ask more, after she explained her intentions, one of the female employees got up and took the report she asked for to her, Ye Xiaojing saw that there was no problem, and left the finance department.

After handing over the report to Cheng Qixin, Ye Xiaojing returned to her seat and opened the light green notebook that Zhang Zhenmei handed her in the hall downstairs just now.

Lifting the cover, the neat and slightly messy handwriting came into view, and as she flipped through the pages, Ye Xiaojing was surprised to find that all the records in this notebook were some of Xu Dawei's experiences and experiences when making pastries, and behind each experience, a related pastry recipe would be attached.

After reading the last page, Ye Xiaojing closed the notebook and said silently in her heart: "Ah Wei, thank you!" ”

When she returned to Cheng's house in the evening, Ye Xiaojing went into the kitchen after bringing coffee to Cheng Qixin.

After carefully flipping through Xu Dawei's pastry notebook, Ye Xiaojing finally chose one of the simpler desserts - chocolate lava cake.

After carefully reading the recipe and precautions of chocolate lava cake from beginning to end, Ye Xiaojing began her cake making.

Ye Xiaojing first took the butter from the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces, then put it in a large bowl with a large piece of dark chocolate, and then put the bowl into boiling water, stirring continuously while heating until the butter and chocolate were completely melted.

While waiting for the chocolate slurry to cool, Ye Xiaojing hurriedly opened another egg, and after the egg mixture with caster sugar was completely whipped, she poured the beaten egg mixture into the mixture of dark chocolate and butter that was already slightly cold.

Then, Ye Xiaojing took out the rum from the wine cabinet, measured it with a measuring cup, and poured it into the coffee-colored mixture, which she did very carefully, because Ah Wei's notes said that the amount of wine would seriously affect the taste of the finished product.

Finally, sift in the flour and mix them well with a whisk.

As soon as I finished doing this, I saw Sister-in-law Zhang walk in and said, "Ye Xiaojing, the old lady is looking for you." ”

"Okay, I got it!"

Ye Xiaojing hurriedly put the mixed chocolate batter in the refrigerator and refrigerated it, and then went to see Mrs. Cheng.

Old Madam Cheng was in the living room, and when Ye Xiaojing saw it, she hurriedly asked respectfully, "Old Madam, are you looking for me?" ”

"Yes," Old Madam Cheng nodded and said, "Miss Ye, tell me, what is Qixin doing with this kid?" I think he's getting thinner and thinner lately, you have to find a way to let him rest more! ”

Ye Xiaojing hurriedly said: "I'm sorry old lady, it's me who didn't take good care of the young master!" ”

Old Madam Cheng shook her head and said, "Miss Ye, don't be careful!" I know very well your attitude towards work, but Qixin's health has not been very good, and he is not very willing to listen to what I say, so I still have to ask you to pay a little more attention. ”

Ye Xiaojing nodded and said, "I know, old lady!" ”

Back in the kitchen, Ye Xiaojing looked at the time, then took out the refrigerated batter from the refrigerator, poured the batter into the mold, and then put it in the preheated oven.

When the baked cake came out, the room was filled with the fragrant aroma of chocolate, and Sister-in-law Zhou and Xiaohui invariably sniffed.

"Ye Xiaojing, what kind of cake are you making? It smells good, but it doesn't look good. When Xiaohui came over to see what the cake looked like, she was very disappointed.

Ye Xiaojing was originally sprinkling powdered sugar on the cake, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Xiaohui, although this cake does not have a gorgeous appearance, there is another mystery inside!" ”

"Mystery?" When they heard this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Ye Xiaojing nodded and said, "That's right!" This chocolate lava cake must be served hot, so try it! ”

Xiaohui, who was in a hurry, couldn't wait to get the spoon, and immediately picked up a piece of cake and took a bite: "Wow-"

Seeing that Xiaohui didn't speak for a long time after biting the cake, Ye Xiaojing asked anxiously, "How about Xiaohui?" There's nothing wrong with the taste, right? ”

Xiaohui pouted, "I'm burned!" However, it turns out that there is really a mystery! ”

Ye Xiaojing hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you!" ”

At this time, Sister-in-law Zhou also came over and tasted it: "Well, the chocolate syrup is breaded in the cake, sweet and bitter, and there is a little bit of wine, it tastes very good." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou's words made Ye Xiaojing feel at ease, and she quickly selected the two most perfect cakes from the remaining cakes, and then put them on a plate and sent them to Cheng Qixin.

"You're going to let me eat this?" Uncovering the lid, two small dark brown snacks appeared in front of Cheng Qixin, and the unsightly appearance of the lava cake made him frown.

Ye Xiaojing listened and said: "Maybe this cake looks a little ugly, but everyone has already eaten it just now, and there is no problem with the taste, I just sent it, young master, please try it first, right?" ”

Cheng Qixin glanced at her: "It seems that you are very confident in your work this time?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and gently dug a piece of cake from top to bottom, and suddenly, the hot chocolate sauce hidden in the cake slowly flowed out like lava, seeing this scene, the corners of Cheng Qixin's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

When you gently put the cake in your mouth with chocolate sauce, your tongue is immediately filled with a mellow and fragrant taste.

After just two bites, Cheng Qixin put down the spoon: "It's too tired!" ”

"Huh?!" Ye Xiaojing looked at him in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Although she has worked hard, the young master still doesn't seem to be satisfied, what should she do?" Ye Xiaojing thought dejectedly.

"I said I'm so tired that you don't understand? Go pour me a glass of water! ”

Cheng Qixin's words brought Ye Xiaojing back to her senses: "You, you're not dissatisfied with the cake, are you?" ”

Cheng Qixin said angrily: "Who said I was satisfied? You are embarrassed to serve such an ugly snack, and next time you make such an ugly thing, you will directly deduct your salary! ”

"I, I know!" As soon as she heard that her salary would be deducted, Ye Xiaojing was suddenly startled and hurriedly assured.

Seeing that she was still stunned and didn't move, Cheng Qixin had to glare at her again: "Do you know why don't you hurry up and pour water?" ”

"Oh, I'll go!"

Before leaving, Ye Xiaojing thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say, "Young Master, your way of speaking like this will scare people to death-"
