This can be regarded as a polite refusal.

"Yes, yes, this is nature, this is nature." Meng Weisheng nodded in agreement.

It's just that the sentence "Thank you Brother Meng for my mother" has been lingering in my ears, and finally got in, and it hurt a little.

After Meng Weisheng left, Shen Xiangmiao began to think about the pastry, thinking about what it would be more appropriate to start doing.

When she went back in the evening, Shen Xiangmiao told the Lu family about wanting to open a pastry shop with Meng Weisheng.

"This is a good thing, Meng Weisheng can endure hardships and has a good character, and it is not bad to do business with him, you taught him to make pot helmets, I heard that they sell very well." Lu Shi smiled: "In this way, you don't have to work too hard in the future, and you can also collect another share of money, which is also a good thing." ”

"That's it." Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Meng specially sent half of my commission today, it is not bad at all, and he also bought this extra." ”

Shen Xiangmiao took out the small box from the money bag and handed it to Lu's hand: "This is a snake oil hand polishing cream, rub this in autumn and winter, your hands will not dry or crack, Brother Meng said that this is a special honor for you." ”

Lu Shi suddenly smiled from ear to ear, stretched out his hand to take it, opened the box and smelled it: "The fishy smell is quite heavy, the thing should not be bad, Meng Weisheng is a kind person, and he can rest assured to do business with him." ”

"Hmm." Shen Xiangmiao nodded: "I think the same way, these days, Brother Meng will go to see if there is a suitable shop to rent, and I have to think about what skills to teach Brother Meng to learn." ”

Lu Shi also nodded.

Another few days flew by in a flash.

Counting the days, the number of volts has been counted, but the sky is still very hot, and there is no coolness in the slightest.

"This year's weather is cooler than usual, I'm afraid it's August 15, and it's not cold yet." Lu Shi compared the material in his hand and said: "This autumn coat will not be so long, otherwise look at the heat, and when you grow taller in the next year, you will weave a circle of cloth on the sleeve and embroider a circle of flowers on it, just like a deliberately made clothes, but it will not feel dazzling." ”

Lu Shi said and raised his head: "Xiangmiao, what do you say?" ”

Shen Xiangmiao was busy researching a new method of making pastries, and she didn't raise her head: "Mother's craftsmanship will not be bad, and Mother will do it when she looks at it." ”

Lu Shi looked at Shen Xiangmiao absent-mindedly, put down the fabric in his hand and went over to see what she was doing.

I saw Shen Xiangmiao standing in front of the pot, took the chopsticks with bated breath, and carefully turned over the round biscuit the size of the palm of his head in the pot, until the small cake was fried to golden brown on both sides, Shen Xiangmiao took the cake out of the pot, controlled the oil, and put it on the plate.

"What is this, it smells weird." Lu Shi sniffled.

And it's not just an ordinary incense, there is a faint hint of sweetness in the fragrance, these two flavors are mixed together, it smells very good, and it is easy to arouse the cravings in the stomach.

Shen Xiangmiao took a cake and sent it to Lu's mouth: "Mother taste it?" ”

Lu Shi opened his mouth and took a bite.

Hot, soft, glutinous, sweet......

All in all, it's delicious.

"It's delicious." Lu Shi couldn't help but praise: "It tastes glutinous and sweet, and it tastes better than the donkey rolling that I bought in the town." ”

"What is this?" Lu asked.

"What does my mother think it looks like when she eats?" Shen Xiangmiao didn't answer, but pursed her lips and asked with a smile.

"Well......" Lu Shi took another bite, tasted it carefully, and then opened his eyes and looked at the appearance of the cake carefully, this is with a filling, the outside is a golden skin, wrapped in the black and brown filling inside, the filling tastes very sweet and thick.

"Here's red bean paste." Lu replied with a smile.

"Where's the outside?" Shen Xiangmiao asked again.

Looking at it this way, the red bean paste inside is right, but as for the outside......

Lu Shi licked his lips and said with a smile: "It tastes like pumpkin." ”

"Mother's tongue is really dexterous, this is made of pumpkin, and it is coated with bean paste filling, which is called pumpkin pie." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.

"It's really made of pumpkins." Lu Shi just guessed casually, but he didn't expect that this cake was really made of pumpkin, and he was a little surprised: "This pumpkin can also make such a delicious cake?" ”

Lu Shi turned over the small cake in his hand and looked at it carefully: "How is this made?" ”

"It's not difficult to do it, steam the pumpkin and mash it into a puree, mix it with glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, knead it into a dough, wrap the bean paste filling in it, knead it into a round cake, and fry it in an oil pan to fry it on both sides." Shen Xiangmiao replied with a smile.

Lu Shi listened carefully and said with a smile: "This method is indeed not difficult, but it is indeed delicious, but what are those scraps on it?" ”

The minced powder on the top tastes fragrant and has a crispy texture, which makes this soft and sweet pumpkin pie more fragrant and delicious.

"This is the slag of dry steamed buns." Shen Xiangmiao stuck out her tongue.

Originally, breadcrumbs should have been used as an ingredient, but in this era, there were no ready-made white bread or toast bread slices in Shen Xiangmiao's portable kitchen, so I had no choice but to take steamed buns and dry them in a storage room with the temperature up, and grind them into minced dust to replace breadcrumbs.

Lu Shi laughed when he heard this: "That is, you, who are ingenious, can come up with this strange method." But speaking of which, you specially handed Shen Ji to Wen Tao to see alone, and you went home first to get these things, did you plan to sell them in the newly opened pastry shop? ”

"Hmm." Shen Xiangmiao nodded: "And Fang Cai has just made two other things, and my mother can also taste the taste." ”

Shen Xiangmiao said and brought over the two cakes she had just made.

Lu Shi took a look, it was the same round small cake, but it was different from the flattening of the pumpkin cake, this cake was more like a small steamed bun, but it was different from the small steamed bun, the skin looked very crispy, and the raised place was even more golden to attract (harmonious) people's color. After taking a bite, the same bean paste filling, the skin is crispy, the inside is soft and sweet, and the aftertaste is endless.

On the other hand, it is cut into two-inch square pieces, a thin cake, which looks as thick as a scallion pancake, but the surface of the cake is brushed with reddish sauce, and it is evenly sprinkled with sesame seeds and green chopped green onions, which is very beautiful when it looks red and green. I took a bite to taste, the taste was thick and mellow, and the crisp was a little soft, although it had some spicy taste, but this spicy was not choking spicy or dry spicy, but that kind of spicy, I couldn't stop eating a bite, and then I wanted to eat a second bite......
