Chapter 408: No Soul
Under the coercion and temptation of the system, Xia Yan had no choice but to be the wronged leader, and took out the silver ticket as if he was fated.
The man didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the thick pile of silver tickets, he couldn't help but swallow.
He is also knowledgeable, and rich people have seen a lot, but it is the first time he has seen a local tyrant with 100,000 taels with him.
This girl obviously decided to buy a shop on the spot, and it was impossible to prepare it in advance.
After all...... He didn't plan to sell the shop yesterday.
"Uncle, did you bring the house deed and land deed?" Xia Yan waved the silver ticket in his hand, "As long as we go to the government to transfer a household, all this silver will be yours." ”
"With ...... Bring. The man swallowed again, staring straight at the stack of silver tickets.
With Anzhi's help and the active cooperation of that person, the shop soon arrived under Xia Yan's name.
Seeing that the task could be completed as long as the plaque was hung, Xia Yan simply decided to do it together, so he found a carpenter shop nearby.
"Big brother, can you make a plaque for me?" Xia Yan half-squatted next to the carpenter who was busy, "I'm in a hurry to use it, just simply engrave three words." ”
"No problem." Seeing that the business came to the door, the carpenter hurriedly stopped what he was doing, stood up and smiled innocently, "Miss, you can write down the words that need to be engraved." Leave your address, and when the villain finishes the plaque, he will send it to you. ”
"Can you do it in one day?" Xia Yan took the pen and paper handed by the carpenter, found a flat place, and wrote word by word, "I'm willing to add money." ”
"Don't worry!" The carpenter patted his chest, "I'm the best craftsman in the neighborhood, and I wouldn't dare to take over your business if someone else else changed." ”
As he spoke, Xia Yan had already finished writing and handed it to the carpenter.
The carpenter took it, lowered his head and glanced at it, and his smile suddenly froze on his face: "Xiao ...... Miss, your business...... The small ones still don't pick up. ”
"Why? Is there anything wrong with these three words? Or is there something taboo committed? Xia Yan was puzzled, it was fine just now, why did he refuse as soon as he saw the word "Sweet Island"?
"It's not true, and it's not taboo." The carpenter smiled wryly, "It's just...... It's just that there is already a sweet island in the capital, and the plaque is still made by me, so if you open another one, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate. ”
The carpenter said, paused for a moment, and smiled slightly apologetically at Xia Yan: "Or...... Think about it, would it be nice to change the name? Or would you like to make the plaque with someone else? ”
"Nope." Xia Yan put away the piece of paper, "Please show me the way, I'll go there first and take a look." ”
Such a coincidence is rare, after all, the three words "Sweet Island" are the inspiration that Xia Yan drew from his previous life, and Chinese people generally do not have such modern thinking.
So...... She became more and more curious about this sweet island, and she wanted to see if this was the so-called fate or the legendary "piracy".
I'm not afraid of the same name, I'm afraid that the things in it are similar.
It's just that in the whole of China except for her, I'm afraid that no one can make those novel desserts.
According to the route told by the carpenter, Xia Yan took Anzhi to the "legendary" sweet island.
This "sweet island" is not far from the shop she just bought, only one street away.
There are two identical shops on two adjacent streets, which is not appropriate by any means.
Xia Yan came here on purpose, firstly, to take a look at this shop, and to have an understanding of it. Second, if possible, she can buy it directly, and she doesn't have to do any more plaques, let alone worry about having the same name as someone else.
With a decision in his heart, Xia Yan walked in with An Zhi.
"Miss, what do you need?" As soon as he entered the door, the well-dressed guy greeted him with a smile, "I look at you a little unexpectedly, it's the first time I've come to our Sweet Island, do you need me to introduce you?" ”
"I'm tired." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Your side, please." The guy stretched out his hand in the direction to his right, "What is in this cabinet is a special snack for our shop: snowflake cake, you can't find a second shop with snowflake cake even if you search the entire capital." ”
The guy said, with a proud face: "This is researched by our shopkeeper himself, and even the ladies in the palace are full of praise." ”
This familiar name made Xia Yan stunned. In her previous life, snowflake crisp was very popular, and it was also one of Xia Yan's favorite snacks.
For this reason, she also deliberately learned the method of snowflake cake, which can be said to be one of her specialties.
Could it be ...... Is there her fellow countryman in the capital?
Xia Yan couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
"Little brother, bring me a copy of this snowflake cake." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Okay." Xu was because he had done a business, and the smile on the guy's face was even better.
He led Xia Yan and the others to the small round table on the left side of the shop and sat down, bowed down and said, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll wrap it up for you." ”
Seeing that the guy turned around and entered the counter, An Zhi approached Xia Yan's side and said in a low voice, "Miss, don't you think this shop is a bit similar to ours?" ”
"Where?" Xia Yan smiled.
"The same dim sum, the same tables and chairs in the shop, and even the layout is similar." Anzhi frowned, "I don't know if you're learning from us?" ”
"This is just your guess, what is the real evidence?" Xia Yan smiled, "Selling snacks and setting tables and chairs is not exclusive to me, Huaguo is so big, there will always be a few people who have the same idea as me." As for the name, it's the same as ours, and it can be explained by the word 'coincidence'. ”
"But ......"
An Zhi was about to speak, and the guy came over with a beautiful wooden box.
He lightly placed the wooden box between the two of them and said with a smile: "Two young ladies, do you plan to take it away, or enjoy it directly in the small shop?" ”
"What's the difference?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.
"It's a big difference." The man's eyebrows raised, "Take it away, the two of you just ate a box of good snacks." But if you enjoy it in a small shop, you can not only enjoy the fun of getting together with friends, but also choose your favorite dim sum at will, and take whatever you like to eat. ”
"Let's go right here, then." This was exactly what Xia Yan wanted, and she immediately responded.
Today, she had planned to taste all the dim sum here. Knowing herself and knowing her opponent, she will not be defeated in a hundred battles, she wants to explore the bottom of this shop first.
Seeing that Xia Yan had made a decision, the guy stepped forward politely and helped her lift the lid of the snack box: "Two young ladies, please use it slowly." ”
After saying that, the guy calmly retreated.
This guy's performance is good, he is well-trained at first glance, and the owner of this shop should also be a person with a background.
Xia Yan sighed at the guy's ability to attract guests while looking into the box.
It's okay not to look at it, but when she saw it, she was stunned.
What is it? Snowflake crisp?
As the name suggests, something that can be called a snowflake cake should at least be white, but what is this pile of yellow things?
It looks like peach cake, but I don't know how it tastes......
Looking at the dim sum that was made in the shape of a snowflake and seemed to be a peach cake, Xia Yan reached out and took a piece, no longer hesitated, and bit it directly.
Well, it's crispy and sweet, and it tastes pretty good.
But this thing is clearly a peach crisp, how can it be called a snowflake crisp, it's simply not the right thing.
No biscuits, no butter, no almonds, no milk powder, no alflake crisp, it's simply soulless.
"Anzhi, you taste it." Xia Yan sighed in disappointment and pushed the box of dim sum in front of An Zhi.
Anzhi obediently picked up a piece and bit it: "It's delicious, but it's not as good as the dim sum you made, Miss." ”
"How is it compared to what Mu Fan ate before he knew me?" Xia Yan really hasn't touched much Chinese dim sum, and he really can't evaluate it for a while.
It's no wonder that she is so ignorant, her family was too poor in the past, and she finally had some accumulation, but she had to study those desserts often, and she didn't have the opportunity to touch other snacks at all.
The only two "local tyrants" Xia Yan knows, one has never seen him eat other snacks since she started making desserts, and the other seems to be a non-sweet.
Therefore, even after coming to this world for so many years, she has no knowledge of the dim sum here.
"Pretty much." As he spoke, a piece of peach cake had already entered Anzhi's stomach, "It feels like the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace." ”
"You've even eaten the dim sum in the palace?" Xia Yan couldn't help but be stunned, "It seems that the Mu Fan family is quite powerful in the capital, otherwise how could this kind of royal dim sum fall into his hands?" ”
An Zhi knew that she almost leaked her mouth, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss, don't you know, although the royal food is expensive, it is not so difficult to get. The imperial dining room will make a large number of dim sum every day, and the saint and the ladies can't finish it, either they are rewarded to the next person, or they are secretly sold by some well-intentioned people. Therefore, as long as there is money and a way, it is easy to get these things. ”
"You mean to say that this shop has something to do with the palace?" Xia Yan paused, "Or maybe which imperial chef opened it?" ”
"It's possible." An Zhi stared at the remaining dim sum in the box, "Most ordinary people only pay attention to taste, and only those dignitaries and nobles will pay special attention to the appearance, and the ladies in the palace have extremely high requirements for this." Miss, look at this dim sum, it is so exquisite, I am afraid that only the imperial chefs in the palace can make it. ”
Anzhi said well, although this dim sum is not the right one, it is not picky in terms of appearance or taste.
The ordinary peach cake is simply made into a circle, and this dim sum called "snowflake cake", except for the wrong color, is exactly the same as the hexagonal snowflakes in other details, and even some extremely thin branches are made. When the sun shines on this peach cake, it can reflect a crystal yellow light, which is really like a snowflake.
It's a pity that the snowflakes are not brown and yellow. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Ugly Girl Makeover: Gao Leng Wangye, Please Respect the Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
