Mei's family left behind the stove, hanging stove, lattice frame, iron pot, panel, flour, filling, seasoning, and oil that she needed to solve by herself.

In the past five years, she has saved some scraps of silver, but it is a drop in the bucket.

She didn't plan to open her mouth to Wu Zhaorong, and she was ridiculed when she opened her mouth, and she was just bored.

She decides how much silver she has, how many raw materials she buys, and sells a few of the first ones.

It's a bit hard and time-consuming, but there's a beginning.

The cost is limited, and it can't be like the Mei family, there are various flavors, she thought about it and decided to make only one flavor - egg yolk lotus paste.

Egg yolk lotus paste raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, the taste is not only easy to accept by the public, but also can highlight the flavor, is the best signature cake.

The Mei family's previous signature was also lotus paste shortbread, but since she got started, of course, all of them have been improved.

She replaces well water with distilled water to remove astringency from the local water; Honey is used instead of sugar to ensure that the shortbread is sweet but not greasy; Replace dough with hot dough to prevent dough from peeling; Replace rapeseed oil with lard to make the cake fragrant; Then use a charcoal fire with a higher temperature instead of firewood, so that the dough can reach a full and crispy temperature under high temperature.

Then, she grinds the lotus paste with her own hands. Crack the lotus seeds first, then add oil and sugar to grind. In August, she was ingenious and added osmanthus flowers, which tasted fragrant.

Finally, she pickles the egg yolk with salt and white wine and yellow sand.

After all the ingredients were prepared and the inside and outside of the Meijia Cake Shop were cleaned, it was five days later, on the ninth day of August.

Without further ado, do what you say.

Mix the noodles, mix the filling, light the fire, brush the oil, bake, in one go, after a furnace of fragrant shortbread is made, unitary.

She was extremely tired, coupled with the high temperature in August, sweating profusely, shaking her clothes and fanning the wind with one hand, and picking up a shortbread with the other hand and putting it in her mouth to taste.

It's so fragrant.

"Xiaonuo, this shortbread is so fragrant, how do you make it?" Cong Hao ate with a mouth full of oil.

Yuan Xiaonuo smiled, "What do you do as a big man who knows about these kitchen matters?" Eat quickly, Tingting will come over later. ”

Cong Hao put down the shortbread and frowned, "What is she doing here?" ”

"Let's learn how to make shortbread." Xiao Nuo blinked, "She said that she wanted to learn cooking, probably because she had a sweetheart, thinking about how to catch a man's stomach." ”

Cong Hao smiled slightly, grabbed another shortbread and stuffed it into his mouth, "She is good at making financial statements, but she can't cook." ”

"How do you know she's not good at cooking?" Arnold asked casually as he put away the dishes.

"Hmm......" Cong Hao swallowed the cake in his mouth hard, "Listen to what my colleague said." ”

Shen Yueran took a big bite.

There is something that has been foreshadowed for a long time, why does she have to be stupid until the last one to know?!

"The old girl sells cakes, and the more she sells, the older she gets."

A flirtatious voice reached her ears.

Looking up, a man in a royal blue brocade robe stood in front of the cake shop at some point, shaking a butterfly pendant silk fan and sneering.

This is Yang Jiali, the eldest young master of the silk village in the city, relying on the wealth in the family, although there are groups of wives and concubines, he dresses magnificently all day long, and he is a prodigal son with a very bad reputation.

The world is as black as a crow, and there is no man who is not windy!

Shen Yueran glared at him, puffed out her cheeks and swallowed a mouthful of shortbread, pointed to the shortbread in front of her, and asked angrily, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

"Tsk." Yang Jiali said with a smile, "It's not good for you to sell cakes so fiercely, you have to learn from the little girl of the Mei family, delicate, shy to answer, low eyebrows and pleasing to touch the little hands, there are many people who come to buy like that." ”

"Phew!" Shen Yueran took a sip, "If you buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, you don't buy it, you don't care how I sell cakes?!" You are a prodigal, but you want to slander others like you, filthy! ”

"Haha." Yang Jiali smiled, "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I have an appetite for this young master." Okay, you have to sell, what this young master has is silver. ”

He punned on his words and threw off a penny of silver.

"Come, get two for Young Master Ben to taste, you don't need to look for them."

Silver.

Bright silver.

Shen Yueran's eyes lit up.

How can there be a reason not to do a business?

It's like swallowing a dead fly.

She suppressed her anger, accepted the silver, took out the oiled paper bag, picked up two with chopsticks, and handed it to him.

Yang Jiali didn't answer, straightened up, "Send it out." ”

Shen Yueran rolled her eyes, walked out of the counter, and handed it to him, "Give." ”

Yang Jiali closed the silk fan and stretched out his hand, not to catch the cake, but to grasp Shen Yueran's hand.

Shen Yueran didn't move, and raised her eyes to look at him.

Yang Jiali seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction, and he became even more emboldened, rubbing the back of her hand obscenely.

"Girl, that's right. Young Master Ben smelled the fragrance of cakes from afar, thinking that the clever Mei family girl was back. When I took a closer look, I realized that it was an old girl from the Shen family. The old girl of the Shen family is also good, not only does the cake smell better than the Mei family, but this little hand is also smoother than the Mei family. In the future, don't look fierce anymore, please the young master, the young master has silver. Others don't want you, but the young master loves you. After Yang Jiali finished speaking, he leaned towards Shen Yueran's noodles.

You can endure swallowing a dead fly, but how can you endure swallowing a basket of dead flies?

Shen Yueran remained silent, and clasped Yang Jiali's Waiguan acupoint (the back of the forearm, the horizontal wrinkles of the hand and neck three fingers wide) with her backhand, and used her strength fiercely.

The Waiguan acupoint is the place where the Qi and blood of the Sanjiao meridian are dissipated by the layman, and if you exert force, the other party will immediately break an arm.

The Yang family had a few pieces of silver in their hands, and they were idle all day long, and under the banner of buying things, they teased all the girls from the hawkers' families in Wenchi County. Ordinary people don't want to offend him, a big customer, so they either swallow their anger, or when they see him coming, they quickly let their girl hide, so Yang Jiali never expected Shen Yueran to have such a hand.

"Whoa, whoa, you, you loosen, let go—" He twisted his arm back, struggling desperately.

Shen Yueran took the opportunity to pull out her hands and forcefully buckle his unguarded eyeballs.

"Ahh

Yang Jiali covered his eyes and made a sound like a ghost crying wolf.

He stumbled out of the bakery, dazed, unable to open his eyes for a long time.

Shen Yueran took out the silver that was not yet warm, smashed it on Yang Jiali's body, pinched his waist and stood, and scolded loudly, "The surname Yang, I sue you, don't rely on a few stinky money to buy it, just think that everyone else is as cheap as you!" This time it's light, let me see you talking nonsense and molesting women in broad daylight, and it's strange if you don't hit you all over the ground looking for teeth. ”

"Stinky girl!" Half an hour later, Yang Jiali's eyes were still burning and hurting. He picked up the silver and scolded, "No wonder no one wants it, no wonder everyone scolds, it turns out to be a!" Lao Tzu is willing to tease you, because he looks up to you, but you have picked up your temperament. Hmph, you wait, you wait......"

"Phew, I'll just wait, wait to see that a stinky man like you doesn't end well!" Shen Yueran was disdainful and picked up a broom.
