Chapter 511: Carefully Prepared

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao rarely slept lazily, and when she stretched her waist and woke up naturally, the position around her was already cold.

I took my phone from the bedside table and looked at the time, it was already half past nine in the morning, Lu Hongshen had already gone to work, Lin Xiaoxiao scratched his hair, and sat up from the bed.

At noon, she had to cook food for Lu Hongshen, and the time was a little tight, so she had to hurry up.

Stepping barefoot on the solid wood floor, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the bathroom.

After Lin Xiaoxiao took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes, she went downstairs and baked two slices of bread for herself, and warmed a glass of milk, which was regarded as breakfast.

Yesterday, I promised Lu Hongshen to make him a traditional Chinese dim sum, and I was going to send food to Lu Hongshen at noon, Lin Xiaoxiao thought that he would simply make it together, or let Lu Hongshen eat it as afternoon tea when he was hungry in the afternoon.

Just do it, Lin Xiaoxiao searched in his mind, and finally decided to make a lotus cake for Lu Hongshen.

The lotus crisp with a delicate appearance is the traditional snack of H City, the lotus crisp is like a lotus flower, it is quite similar to the lotus flower in the pool, the layers of crisp are distinct, plus the color embellishment, it is very vivid, exquisite, and elegant, visually it is simply a kind of enjoyment, just can be matched with Chinese tea, as an afternoon refreshment, it is very suitable.

If you want to make this lotus crisp, the most important thing is the filling and puff pastry, Lin Xiaoxiao prepared the materials for the filling and puff pastry, and began to roll up her sleeves and do a big job.

Wash the wok and heat it first, then put in the cooked lard, wait until the lard is almost forty percent hot, put in the sugar, and boil until the sugar is completely melted, put in the lotus mushroom, and then continue to push and stir-fry with a hand spoon, which is a more physically demanding step, Lin Xiaoxiao not only has to keep stir-frying, but also have to always pay attention to whether the heat is appropriate, and adjust it at any time.

In this process, it is necessary to continue to add sugar, stir-fry until it does not stick to the spatula, and then add the cooked lard and stir-fry until the lotus oil is bright and white, and the lotus paste filling is completed.

The next thing is the puff pastry, Lin Xiaoxiao adds half of the flour to warm water and lard, stirs and kneades it into a water and oil dough, and then mixes the other half of the flour with lard, and begins to rub it repeatedly until the dry puff pastry is completed.

Finally, Lin Xiaoxiao wraps the puff pastry dough into the water and oil dough, rolls it flat, rolls it out into a rectangular sheet, then folds it into three layers, then rolls it into a thin sheet, folds it into three layers, then rolls it out, folds it, and then rolls it into a thin sheet of uniform thickness, and uses a round die cut to take out 20 round embryo skins.

After that, divide the finished lotus mushroom filling into 20 parts, put them in the center of the embryo skin, close the mouth and pinch it tightly, and then place the closing part downward, and use a knife to cut out the same five petals evenly at the top to the periphery, and the prototype of this lotus cake is born.

When all this was done last night, Lin Xiaoxiao put the lotus crisp into the oil pan one by one and fried it until the petals opened, and the lotus crisp was completed.

As a decoration, Lin Xiaoxiao also put a small crystal cherry on the top of the lotus cake, which is very beautiful.

Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't made this lotus cake for a long time, and he has been carrying a heart in the process of making it, for fear that his hands will be broken, but he didn't expect that this body memory is still very strong, and Lin Xiaoxiao has been doing it all the way very smoothly.

Carefully put the lotus cake into the special packing box, and Lin Xiaoxiao began to prepare Lu Hongshen's lunch.

Today's menu is saliva chicken, boiled shrimp, oyster sauce lettuce, braised coconut white, and crab roe tofu soup, and with fragrant white rice, it is nutritious and appetizing, which can be said to be a very hearty lunch.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Lin Xiaoxiao made all the preparations and prepared to go out with a large bag.

"Madam, Mr. arranged for a driver to take you there." When Lin Xiaoxiao was about to go out to call a taxi, the housekeeper came over, and while carrying a large bag from Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, he walked out with Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Driver?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while, it was just a meal, and Lu Hongshen actually arranged for a driver to send him over, which was too grand.

However, the housekeeper had quickly put everything into the trunk of the car, and the driver also got out of the car very attentively, opened the door of the back seat of the car for Lin Xiaoxiao, and stood aside very gentlemanly, waiting for Lin Xiaoxiao to get into the car.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the housekeeper, then at the driver, and finally touched his nose embarrassedly and sat in the back seat of the car.

It was the first time she had enjoyed such treatment, and she was always a little unaccustomed to it.

After the driver closed the door for Lin Xiaoxiao, he trotted around the driver's seat, got into the car, fastened his seat belt, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, hit the steering wheel, and slowly drove the car away from the villa in one go.

About half an hour later, Lin Xiaoxiao smoothly appeared in the lobby of the Lu Group Building.

Today's front desk lady is still the one from yesterday, after seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, she immediately cheered up 120,000 points: "Hello Mrs. Lu!" "Yesterday, the secretary specially told her, including all the front desk ladies, that when she sees Lin Xiaoxiao in the future, she must be respectful, and she must call Lin Xiaoxiao "Mrs. Lu".

Originally, because Lu Hongshen came down to pick up Lin Xiaoxiao yesterday, and took special care of her, Lin Xiaoxiao would go up directly after she came, and the front desk lady was already very panicked, coupled with the secretary's advice, so the front desk lady was extremely nervous today.

"Hello." Lin Xiaoxiao naturally didn't miss the nervous expression of the front desk lady, so she unfolded a warm smile, hoping that the front desk lady could relax a little.

"I'll pick it up for you." The front desk lady saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was carrying two bags in her hands, which looked a little heavy, and immediately stepped forward to reach out to take them.

"It's okay, I'll just carry it myself." Lin Xiaoxiao is not used to bothering others, and although these two bags are not light, she just needs to carry them upstairs, and it won't take too much time, so she can bear it.

"Mrs. Lu, let me come, I'll take you upstairs." The front desk lady was a little anxious when she saw that Lin Xiaoxiao refused to give her things.

"Then what if you send me up here?" Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that there was only such a front desk lady today, so she shouldn't be able to leave her job casually.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao said this, the front desk lady was very embarrassed.

When she saw Lin Xiaoxiao at first glance just now, all she thought about was that she must treat Lin Xiaoxiao well, and she actually forgot that she couldn't leave her job for a while.

"Why don't you take me to the elevator?" Lin Xiaoxiao saw that the front desk lady was embarrassed, so she came up with a compromise solution.

It's not very far from the elevator entrance, so the front desk lady is not considered to have left her job.
