Chapter 132: Selling at a Loss
An Yixin said that Chef Chen's dim sum was so well done, and he still needed to praise himself, while picking up an osmanthus with cream roses on top and handing it to Shen Yu.
In her opinion, the combination of osmanthus cake and cream flower is really nondescript, and it is completely because she had no other place to put cream flowers at that time. However, since Yiyuan hadn't said that she would give another two hundred taels of silver to learn other dim sum, she had to endure not teaching how to make real cakes first, and let this dim sum go on and on.
"This is the flower you taught last time?" Shen Yu held the osmanthus cake and didn't eat it, but looked at it carefully, "It's really good-looking, it's worth two hundred taels of silver." ”
Yuling was also reaching out to take the osmanthus cake, and when she heard Shen Yu's words, her hand shook, "Yixin, you came to Yiyuan to teach the chef to make dim sum?" ”
Although she was basically not discharged from the hospital, she had heard of Yiyuan's reputation in the capital.
"I taught me how to make this flower, and Yiyuan gave me two hundred taels of silver!" An Yixin said with a smile.
Seeing An Yixin's face full of pride, Ah Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Yixin, your two hundred taels of silver are sold for less, do you know how much such a piece of dim sum costs?" ”
"How much?" An Yixin and Shen Yu asked in unison.
"Three taels of silver." Ah Ling raised three fingers and shook it in front of An Yixin, "This is still in short supply, Chef Chen is so tired that his arm is swollen every day, and now Yiyuan has announced a limit, and fifty will be sold every other day in the future, so you have to order it as soon as possible." ”
Yuling 'ah', the snack in his hand completely fell on the table.
She wanted to cry and look at the roses on the table that had broken into a mess of cream, three taels of silver!
An Yixin smiled, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Yuling, "Don't feel distressed, you eat this." As she spoke, she stretched out her index finger and scraped it on the cream on the table, picking up a lump of cream and sending it to her mouth.
An Yixin nodded with satisfaction, only to find that several people around her were looking at her in surprise, especially Yuling, who was holding a snack in her hand, and was so moved that she was about to cry.
An Yixin shrugged, a group of little things who love to be moved, I don't know how beautiful the cream is, no matter how beautiful the shape is, does it taste the same in your mouth?
However, An Yixin thought about it and felt distressed, her craft only sold for two hundred taels, Yiyuan sold three taels for a piece of dim sum, and her patent was only worth more than 70 pieces of dim sum, isn't it a loss!
"Go and see if you have any of this flower dim sum, or tell Chef Chen to make some more." On the other hand, Ah Ling instructed the maid.
An Yixin hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, I just try Chef Chen's skills." Now it seems that it has been better than what I did. ”
She was distressed that she had lost money, and would rather not eat it than see this cream flower.
"I also think this flower dim sum is getting better and better, but I don't dare to say that it is better than you." As he spoke, Chef Chen walked in with the curtain.
"It's really ...... than me" An Yixin said modestly, and when she saw the waitress behind Chef Chen, the second half of the sentence choked in her throat, and she couldn't say it anymore.
Shen Yu, Lu Yunwan and Yu Ling also saw the maid behind Chef Chen, and at the same time let out an 'ah'.
"I've never seen such a beautiful pastry." Yuling's eyes were as big as walnuts, and she said in surprise and joy.
The waitress held a large plate of sweet white porcelain flowers and birds, and a large round piece of dim sum on the plate was arranged with roses to form a big birthday character. The roses are colorful, and the word longevity looks ...... It can't be said that it is chaotic, it can only be said that it is very festive.
In addition to the place that should be the cake blank at the bottom, it is estimated that it is still osmanthus wow, which is simply the birthday cake of the future generations!
"How's it going, isn't it a surprise?" Seeing An Yixin's eyes widen and staring at his big invention, Chef Chen raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile.
"Uh-huh, yes, pleasantly surprised." An Yixin echoed and said, after all, Chef Chen has developed so many colors of roses.
"Actually, this idea was conceived." Chef Chen said with a smile, "He felt that those small flower dim sum were too small to make three taels a piece, so he asked me if I could make it bigger, and then spelled out the word 'Shou' with roses on it, so that it looked fresh and noble." Don't you say, the birthday banquet originally held in Yiyuan are all students and merchants living in Beijing, since the launch of this big flower dim sum, there are people who want to do longevity in order to show off, specially come to Yiyuan to order. The abacus stipulates that the big flower dim sum is not taken out, and many people have to arrange the birthday banquet in Yiyuan for this big flower dim sum. ”
"Small flower dim sum is three or two, so how much does this big flower dim sum cost?" Yuling couldn't help but ask.
"Guess?" Chef Chen asked with a smile.
Chef Chen devoted himself to making dim sum, he didn't care about people's feelings, and he didn't give Shen Yu and Lu Yunrou a gift when he entered the door, so he directly talked to An Yixin, and he was talking happily at the moment, when he saw Yuling interjecting, he asked with great interest, he didn't expect that it was Miss Lufu's personal maid, he couldn't laugh so casually.
Fortunately, everyone was in high spirits, and no one cared, but they didn't wait for Yuling to speak, and even Ah Ling and a few maids followed the random speculation.
"One hundred taels."
"Impossible, I just counted, there are a total of nineteen roses on it, it should be fifty-seven taels."
"Then it's better to sell it for sixty taels." Someone said with a smile. "But sixty taels is too cheap, I remember what kind of fish sells for sixty taels of silver!"
"You're underestimating the calculations." Shen Yu clapped his hands vigorously, interrupting the gossip around him, "Since it's an abacus idea, it must not be cheap, I guess five hundred taels." ”
The child's voice is crisp, and there is both admiration and laughter in the tone.
"You guessed wrong, little boy." Chef Chen smiled, "The abacus personally set the price for the big flower dim sum, which is 1,000 taels each." ”
An Yixin 'ouch', "It's so expensive, you can take it quickly, we can't afford to pay for it." ”
The room burst into laughter.
Shen Yu smiled so hard that her little fat face flushed, "The abacus is really dark." He laughed as he remembered one more thing, "It's all sold for a thousand taels, why don't you give this dim sum a name, it's called big flower dim sum and small flower dim sum, it sounds worthless." ”
"I don't know how to read, where would I think of taking a name, at first I looked at the flowers on it, so I called a small flower dim sum, and then the dim sum sold too well, when Prince Jiang said that he wanted to take a name, the small flower dim sum has spread, and many young ladies and ladies will order small flower dim sum when they enter the door. Later, this big one was launched, and before we could name it, the guests called it a big flower dim sum. Chef Chen said with a smile.
Hearing him say it was so smug and funny that the whole room laughed.
was smiling and happy, and the chief steward walked in, "Wang Gongzi has arrived, I will let him accompany him to drink tea in the front restaurant, Miss Yixin, when will you invite him over?" ”
Yuling's heart tightened, and she was about to go out with Lu Yunwan.
An Yixin hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't worry, it's warm in this room, you help Miss take off her cloak first." (To be continued.) )
