Chapter 129: A private interview with Weifu
"Thank you for what I did, yes, we're friends." Mo Simin smiled open-mindedly, and as she spoke, she suddenly remembered what she had brought with her when she left the Lu family, "Oh, I forgot to bring you the pastry I took back from Xia Bai just now, she made it today, saying that she was concentrating and purifying her heart, so she wanted to try it for you." ”
The prince's heart moved, and he followed Mo Simin downstairs.
"Don't you really need to rest?" She was a little worried.
Unexpectedly, in order to show his state at this time, the prince, who has always been elegant, patted his chest and said, "I'm fine." ”
Looking at his appearance, he had obviously cheered up, so Mo Simin was no longer worried.
The two of them went downstairs together, and at the counter in the bookkeeper saw the pastry that Mo Simin had been missing.
Thinking that the pastries were made by An Xiabai himself, the prince had some expectations in his heart, after all, An Xiabai's craftsmanship, he had tasted it with his own mouth, and it was very different from the pastries made outside, and it was not ordinarily delicious, so how could he not look forward to it.
They all went into the kitchen, where Mo Simin arranged the pastries.
The appearance of the pastries is exquisite, the aroma is so strong, even the pastries made by the imperial dining room are slightly inferior, the prince is so moved, twist one of them and put it in his mouth.
It is estimated that it was because of the effect of Mo Simin's calming words just now, after he ate the pastry, he really felt a lot calmer, and wanted to continue to eat another piece, but Mo Simin patted her hand defensively: "Okay, I'll bring back such a portion, I am still reluctant to eat it myself, you can eat a piece of it." ”
The prince raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly: "Didn't the mud just say that he brought it back for me to taste the taste, why did it suddenly change again?" ”
"I was going to let you taste it, but you made a mistake of principle today." Mo Simin's eyes rolled, and he took out one of the pastries, then rearranged it and pushed it in front of the prince.
"What does that mean?" The prince was full of doubts. "Have you changed your mind again?"
Mo Simin gritted his teeth and said: "What are you thinking, pushing the pastry in front of you, purely because I want you to serve it to the guest just now, you think, you miscalculated someone's account just now, and Mu Mu didn't apologize, even if I give the guest a free order after I come back, the anger in his heart must still be there, at this time, shouldn't you do something practical to express your apology?" ”
It seems to be right, too.
It just so happens that the effect of the pastry made by An Xia Bai today is calming and calming, and if you try it for the guests, it may be able to reduce the anger.
"You're thinking." The prince nodded.
Then he slowly took a plate of pastries under Mo Simin's reluctant gaze.
The reluctance on Mo Simin's face was undisguised, and he almost didn't grab what he liked, and followed the back of the prince and muttered silently: "Next time, let Xia Bai make a little more, such a delicious pastry is just right for this season, eat more!" ”
And on the other side at this time, the guest who had just accused the prince was eating silently, and when he saw the prince coming over out of the corner of his eye, he was really startled, and thought that the other party was here to find fault, because he did scold people too hard just now, so he was a little flustered: "What are you doing again, are you not convinced?" ”
When the prince heard this, not only was he not angry, but the corners of his lips also hooked a very shallow smile: "Don't be afraid, guests, I'm here to apologize." ”
He slowly put down a plate of delicate pastries under the anxious gaze of his guests.
The guests are regular customers, and they have eaten almost all the pastries in the building, and when they saw the novelty of the pastries on the table, they suddenly became a little more interested.
"What is this pastry?"
The prince smiled and said: "It's my apology to you, this kind of pastry is a new style just made in our restaurant, others may not be able to eat it even if they want to, why don't you try it?" ”
He really wanted to try.
The guest is not like Mo Simin, nor like the prince, who made the pastry in front of him, he doesn't care, he wants to try it again after tasting a piece, and soon there is only a little bit of pastry left on the plate.
The prince had a smile on his face, but he was extremely sorry in his heart.
Delicious pastries should be tasted carefully, and the guest in front of him really doesn't know how to appreciate it, three times five divided by two, all the pastries are eaten,
He even felt that eating like this was not enough fun, so he looked at the prince expectantly, and asked, "The pastry is good, can you bring me another one?" ”
The prince tried to keep himself calm, and then said, "There is only one pastry, it is for eating, and it may be a few days before it is actually put on the market, so please forgive me." ”
The prince said politely, and he said that the pastry was the only one, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the tricky guest, and the other party smiled and nodded and said: "That's okay, I'll come back to eat it in a few days, and when this kind of pastry is on the market, I also invite my friends to come and try it, the pastry is delicious, and it has to be well promoted." ”
"Thank you for your help." The prince remained silent, then put away the empty plate and slowly retreated.
What he didn't know was that what he had done just now was all seen by several guests.
The Emperor had planned to leave the restaurant, but he had already left the box and was about to go downstairs, but when he walked up the stairs, he happened to see the prince coming out of the kitchen with pastries.
The style of pastries is exquisite, even the pastries made in the imperial dining room may not be comparable, and then seeing the guests who have eaten the pastries and are full of praise, the emperor can't help but be moved: "I want to try the taste of pastries." ”
A group of them came directly to the counter, tapped on the table of the counter and said to Lu Liu'er, "Can you also give us a copy of the novel pastry just now?" ”
Lu Liu'er looked dazed, she patronized the accounting, but she didn't know anything about pastries.
"We saw it upstairs just now, girl, why don't you go to the back kitchen and ask?" The Emperor said patiently.
Lu Liuer asked him to wait outside for a while, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to find Mo Simin: "Recently, there is a new pastry in our restaurant, and a guest outside asked me, but I couldn't answer." “
She wasn't in charge of the kitchen in the first place.
"Yes, Xia Bai just made a new style today, and I brought it to the restaurant." Although Mo Simin was a little strange how the guests outside would know about the new pastry, he still decided to go out and explain to others, "Let me tell him, you don't know much about the kitchen, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain." ”
Lu Liuer cast a grateful gaze.
The two of them came out of the back kitchen together, stood behind the counter and said apologetically: "Sorry guest, I've kept you waiting, the pastry just now is a new style made in our restaurant, and the back kitchen can't make it for the time being." ”
"Why can't you do it?" The emperor was puzzled, in his impression, the development of pastries, can make the first part, can make the second part.
"It's not that you can't do it, it's just that the people who can do it aren't here." Mo Simin said apologetically, "The person who developed the pastry is the big boss of our restaurant. ”
The emperor's eyebrows raised slightly: "Mrs. Lu is not here?" ”
He was familiar with Mrs. Lu's words, and Mo Simin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it: "Do you know the big boss of our restaurant?" ”
Not only does he know, An Xiabai is only respectful in front of him.
The Emperor smiled, and before he could reply, he heard an exclamation.
The prince happened to come down from the second floor, and when he saw his face, he was so frightened that the expression on his face was a little stiff: "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see you." The emperor said kindly and gently.
This time, the surprised person became Mo Simin, others didn't know the identity of the prince, but she knew that the person who could make the prince show such a respectful and surprised expression was either a nobleman in the palace or a nobleman in the court, both of which she would never be able to provoke, "It turns out that the guest knows Gongzi Feng." ”
The prince nodded again and again, acting very nervous: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mo Simin confessed: "This guest wanted to try the new pastry just made, but there were really no pastries in the kitchen, so we were a little embarrassed. ”
Knowing that the emperor wanted to eat it, he didn't bring the pastry to the other guest.
Mo Simin quietly pulled the prince halfway, and asked with a full of doubts: "Who is that guest, do you know him with honorifics?" ”
The prince lowered his voice and replied, "It's my father." ”
Mo Simin's eyes widened, and the feeling of panic made her feel very uneasy for a moment.
An Xiabai told her about Feng Siqi's identity before, Feng Siqi is the prince, so isn't the old man outside.....
Mo Simin shuddered: "What should I do, the distinguished guest outside said by name that he wanted to eat a new style of pastry, but we don't have this kind of pastry here, how can we get one for him?" ”
The prince didn't know what to do, so he said embarrassedly: "I don't know what to do, I'll go and talk to him." ”
He walked quickly to the emperor, lowered his face and said apologetically: "We really don't have this kind of pastry in our store, do you want to change one, other pastries taste very good, do you want to try it?" ”
The emperor shook his head and insisted that he would eat this pastry.
Mo Simin and the prince glanced at each other, and suddenly remembered that when the pastry came out, she took a piece of it: "But wouldn't it be good to take out this pastry and give it to him?" ”
But there is no other way now.
The prince secretly gritted his teeth and asked her to take out the remaining piece of pastry on a plate, and then bring it to the emperor himself.
"There's only one piece left, if you don't dislike it, try it first, and if it tastes good, we'll send it to you in a few days." The prince said softly, he was afraid that the emperor would be displeased if this piece of pastry was delivered.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't look unhappy at all, and after nodding, he directly picked up the last piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and nodded appreciatively: "This pastry tastes good, compared to the royal and no, compared to the pastry made in our kitchen." ”
His praise made Mo Simin and the prince breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good if you like it." ”
"This pastry was made by Mrs. Lu herself?" A thought suddenly occurred in the emperor's heart, "Is there a name?" ”
"I don't have a name yet, this is just developed by Mrs. Lu, and I haven't had time to choose a name yet, if you don't mind, you can help pick one." Mo Simin smiled.
