Chapter 54: The Pastry Workshop
After Li Chuxia followed Liuniang into the kitchen, he saw that there were other people busy in the kitchen, so the two found a relatively empty place to make pastries for Li Chuxia.
"Just show me a hand right here." Liuniang likes this girl's unpretentious appearance at all, and she also thinks that this girl just said that she naturally has the ability to dare to come over, and she also wants to see what kind of ability this girl has.
Li Chuxia looked at the tools placed in these places with his eyes, but they were still complete, so he directly took a clean basin next to him and prepared to start making noodles.
After Wei Jingran watched her start to meet, the momentum on her body changed a lot, which showed that she was ready to concentrate on starting to do what she was doing.
Liuniang looked at Li Chuxia in front of her with bright eyes, but she didn't think too much in her heart.
Busy with noodles and leaven powder, and busy beating eggs, Li Chuxia enjoys the time of cooking things in the kitchen the most, although he is the head chef, he usually cooks big and hard dishes, but if he wants to make a small pastry on weekdays, it is still difficult to make himself.
She also went to take the pastry chef certificate at the beginning, so naturally she also passed the test.
After being busy in the kitchen for a while, some slight sweat rose on Li Chuxia's forehead, and Wei Jingran, who was originally watching from the sidelines, quickly stretched out his handkerchief to wipe her sweat at this time, but she didn't expect her to stop herself, but wiped it with her sleeve.
While Liuniang was helping others again, her eyes also noticed that Li Chuxia and Wei Jingran were like this, but they felt that these two people were a little interesting.
Wei Jingran was not sad, he was used to her gradually alienating himself, but he maintained the relationship between friends, in this state, he was not too sad in his heart, and the handkerchief was withdrawn into his sleeve.
"Jing Ran, please hand me the pair of chopsticks over there."
Li Chuxia didn't notice the changes in Wei Jingran around him, but instead took care of himself to arouse the people around him.
Of course, Wei Jingran would listen to her relentlessly, and handed her the chopsticks beside him.
After getting the chopsticks, Li Chuxia directly put the small cake that he had steamed and baked on the stove, and inserted the chopsticks into it to try the softness.
Seeing that the heat is almost now, there is no need to continue steaming, if you add another fire, I am afraid that this cake will not taste good.
Li Chuxia took the handkerchief next to him and started directly, and brought down the cake on the steamer, looking at the appearance of the cake in front of him, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, after all, he didn't play the best effect.
Because there was no such thing as an oven in ancient times, so the steamer generally relied on the steamer, but although the steamer was very good, it would cause a lot of water droplets to be attached to the surface of the cake because of too much water vapor, which would affect the taste a little.
"It's so fragrant......"
A cook standing in the kitchen smelled this fragrance from all directions, and felt that his saliva was about to run down, and his eyes followed the fragrance, and found that it was from the strange woman's hand, a plate, some of which looked like a large piece of pastry, the smell of something.
"Wow, that smells too good, isn't it?" The other cook couldn't help but exclaim, the rich aroma contained the flavor of flour and eggs, and a little sweetness.
Li Chuxia did not stop the movements in his hands because of these exclamations, but took two eggs and knocked them up, put the egg whites and yolks of the eggs in two bowls separately, and used a specific mold to make softer bubbles.
Soaking this bubble on top of the cake that had been made before, that is, to make the whole cake a little more smooth, Li Chuxia wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then looked at the things in front of him, and it was barely done.
Wei Jingran stood next to him and looked at the small cake in front of him, it didn't look like Li Chuxia had made it before, but the shape was similar, but it looked more exquisite, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Early summer, this cake, you haven't made it before."
Li Chuxia smiled slyly, "That's natural, of course I have to keep a backhand." ”
Wei Jingran smiled silently, looking at her smug appearance, he loved her more and more.
The pastries on the cage drawer were taken down, and the smell of fresh fragrance was wanton in the kitchen, attracting everyone's noses, and at this time, the entire kitchen gathered around Li Chuxia.
Curious eyes lit up the towering layer of things on this plate, like flour but sweet, not like the taste of flour.
"Miss Li's has eggs added to it, so it makes your thing look good in color and taste, right?"
Liu Niang's eyes also flashed with a look of amazement, after all, this is a method they have never thought of, and they have also observed it on the side just now, Li Chuxia added a lot of things that he had not added before when making this plate of pastries.
"Liuniang might as well taste what has been added here." Li Chuxia just smiled faintly at this time, and didn't tell Liuniang what she put in it at all, some things are not interesting to say, so she has to taste and feel by herself.
Looking at the circle of people around him, drooling over this small piece of cake, Li Chuxia felt very helpless, so seeing that everyone wanted to eat, he went to get a kitchen knife and divided a small piece for everyone.
Everyone held the small piece of cake in their bowl and tasted it very carefully, because Li Chuxia not only added eggs to the cake, but also spread a layer of fruit in the middle, so that when everyone ate it, they felt another layer of sweet and sour impact on their taste buds.
Originally, Li Chuxia wanted to pour a layer of sweeter jam on the cake, but because he was in a hurry when he came out today, he didn't bring the jam, which made me feel a little regretful, but it wasn't in the way.
"It's delicious!"
"It's sweet and sour, and it's fluffy, it's the best pastry I've ever tasted!"
"It's soft and glutinous, I've never eaten anything so delicious."
Several cooks in the kitchen couldn't help but sigh at this time, even those who rarely spoke in the kitchen, Liuniang couldn't help it at this time, and looked at Li Chuxia in front of her with strange eyes.
Li Chuxia naturally received Liuniang's gaze, and understood that her eyes were full of praise for herself, so she smiled faintly at this time.
"So Liu Niang thinks she can cooperate with me?" Li Chuxia didn't bother to beat around the bush at this time, and directly stated his purpose, and even said again, "If Liuniang cooperates with me, I will not only make this kind of cake in the future, but also write down the secret recipe of this cake to tell you, and I will also contain other styles of pastries for you to choose." ”
"Good!"
Liuniang just ate two bites of the snacks on her plate, and decided to cooperate with Li Chuxia, after all, this girl's confident appearance is very admirable, not only the natural momentum, but also the admirable courage on her body.
And Li Chuxia's advantages are not only these, but also the ability to make such a sweet and delicious pastry, not to mention, and once this kind of pastry is sold, it will definitely be able to cause a rush in the market in the future.
Of course, Li Chuxia was naturally happy to be able to sign a contract with such a big pastry shop, and he signed a note with Liuniang very happily, and because he was in a good mood, he went into the kitchen to make a small pastry.
Once again, the taste in the mouth was shocked by the brand-new pastry, and Liuniang was satisfied with eating this time.
Wei Jingran knew that if people wanted to achieve their goals, they naturally had to show their strength, but he didn't expect that Li Chuxia would be able to obtain it again and again just by relying on his own ability, and whether or not the trust of others would support it.
Looking at Li Chuxia's appearance in front of her, Wei Jingran couldn't help but once again firmly believe that she liked the person in front of her, it was a very correct choice and decision, she was a radiant girl herself, she just needed to be discovered and recognized by the world.
After the two came out of the pastry shop, they immediately received a notice from the government that the carriage had been found, and all the money had been recovered.
However, the coachman died in the middle of the road, and the carriage was found by the officers and soldiers in the suburbs.
Li Chuxia looked at it with a faint expression, there was no silver in the carriage that had been touched, but what he thought in his heart was that the silver should be stored in the money bank to make money.
Wei Jingran had been worried in his heart that the girl in front of him would be frightened by the silver stained with the clear silver of the dead man, but he saw that she was thinking about things very calmly.
For a while, I felt that I was thinking too much.
The boss of the money village happily came to Li Chuxia, deposited all the silver in the village, and got the note of the development of the money village, and Li Chuxia was also relieved in his heart.
"However, I think it's a little strange that the title would die for no reason."
Li Chuxia walked out of the money village, looked at Wei Jingran beside him, and thought of the death of the coachman he said before, and always felt that it revealed some kind of weirdness.
Wei Jingran's face was not much better at this time, because he had already felt that something was wrong with this matter, if someone stole the silver, then he should have stolen the silver after leaving the city, why did the coachman drive to the suburbs, and the person was already dead?
"I also think there's something wrong with that." Wei Jingran pinched the fan in his hand and fanned it to his side one by one, but he felt a chill from his back.
Li Chuxia glanced at Wei Jingran beside him lightly, and kept thinking about the cause of the coachman's death in his mind.
"That's not right! Someone is trying to harm me! ”
