Song Ziyu said worriedly: "That Lord Zhou is impartial and holds a big birthday at this juncture, it won't be such a coincidence!" ”

Lu Caiqing smiled when he heard this: "Brother Song, you have a long heart, and you know that he is not really holding a big birthday, he just wants to find a reason to mediate the grievances between the two families, so this matter started because of me, and I had to go." ”

"It's not dangerous, no! I won't let you go, I'll go! If you want to fight, you want to kill me, my skin is rough and my flesh is thick, and it is forbidden to carry it. Song Ziyu said worriedly.

Liu Fu listened to it and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyu, I'm afraid you won't be able to help this time, the people just said that the Ma County Order only invited the young girl, this time it is estimated that you will not be able to enter the prefect's yamen." ”

Song Ziyu listened, stood up anxiously, walked back and forth, Lu Caiqing saw him and grabbed him and said, "Brother Song!" Don't worry, isn't there still Brother Lin? Let's go together, it's fine, it's a good thing to have the prefect mediate, so as not to cause another incident between the two families in the future. ”

"Don't worry! Brother Ziyu! With me, Cai Qing will be fine. Lin Huaijin patted his chest and reassured.

Lu Caiqing saw it and said: "Okay, it's a good thing that someone mediates, otherwise I always don't want to go, but in order to express the timely appearance of Lord Zhou last time, no matter whether he really has a birthday or an excuse, I have to bring some decent gifts to express my gratitude." After all, people have helped more than once. ”

On the second day, Lin Huaijin rushed to Manjinglou in a hurry, saw Lu Caiqing, Song Ziyu and others, and said happily: "Caiqing!" Good news! Finding a store is done! ”

Lu Caiqing listened, put down the things in his hand, hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Where is it, we didn't find it after looking at it for a long time yesterday?" Brother Lin still has a lot of people and does things quickly! ”

Lin Huaijin sat down, listened to Lu Caiqing's praise, and was very happy, and took a sip of tea to warm up his body before saying: "Just at the corner of the south of the busy road, his family's name is Sihai Restaurant, where Boss Hu claimed that he couldn't do it anymore, he was losing money every day, and he couldn't make ends meet, so he wanted to sell it and go back to the countryside to farm." Before his notice was announced, a friend found out that I was looking for a store. So they gave it to me at a very low price. ”

"Four Seas Restaurant! How is it so familiar? Is the little daughter-in-law the restaurant that often buys our lotus roots? It can't be such a coincidence! His house is just around the corner! Song Ziyu said in surprise.

Lu Caiqing was also puzzled, the last time I went, it seemed that the boss was really strong, no wonder it seemed that there were not many guests in the hotel when he was about to arrive, it turned out that he couldn't support it, and he was clever enough to fight for it, pit him so many lotus roots, think about it, it really shouldn't be.

Since his restaurant is also yellow, isn't the lotus root out of sales?

Just thinking about it, Lin Huaijin suddenly said: "That shopkeeper is very good, knowing that my intention is to continue to open the restaurant, he introduced me to a few old customers, it turns out that your lotus root is supplied to him, so I brought the supply to Juxian Building, don't you mind!" ”

When Lu Caiqing heard this, he knew that he was helping himself in disguise, and he was afraid that his lotus root would be cut off, thinking that if he was looking at a restaurant, such as Malatang materials, he would use lotus root, and it would be enough to produce and sell it himself.

"Brother Lin! Thank you for your kindness, aren't we going to open a restaurant now? Isn't it a cost to supply your own materials, and when the time comes, I will count them in the account books, and I can sell them for money, so don't worry about me. Lu Caiqing explained.

"Pick green! To do business, you must first learn to use your brain, your lotus root is less than my purchase price, we are close to home, you don't want to sell it to me, don't you want me to save money? ”

"Okay, okay! Then according to the agreement with Boss Hu, how about the same procedure? Lu Caiqing didn't argue with him, normal business dealings were still beneficial to him, but it was a bit too serious to argue.

Bai Xiaoran listened and asked suspiciously, "Wait! I heard the lotus root thing clearly, what's going on with finding a store and opening a restaurant? Isn't it my sister who opened it, Huai Jin, what are you mixing with? ”

Lin Huaijin was puzzled, looked at Lu Caiqing and said, "Didn't you tell him that it was a restaurant that we opened together?" ”

"What? Close, I don't agree! When you carry it, you will decide such a big thing. Do you have that big brother of mine in your eyes? Bai Xiaoran was angry, Yun Ge sat beside him, tugging at his clothes to make him less impulsive.

Bai Xiaoran saw it, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yun Ge, so he did it, and muttered, "Don't pull me!" I just can't be angry, yesterday I said that I wanted to help in the restaurant at home and didn't listen to me, and in a blink of an eye I opened a restaurant with him, it turned out that my brother was an outsider. ”

Yun Ge listened and said softly, "Big Brother Bai! Don't be angry, you sit down first and listen to Sister Caiqing! ”

"Look at it! Your temper is not as good as the ten-year-old child next to you, you listen to me, I opened a restaurant with her for the benefit of both parties, you are a family, what do you say? Lin Huaijin knew that this person's temper belonged to that of a donkey, and he had to follow him.

Bai Xiaoran listened, and said from his mouth that he and Cai Qing were a family, and he was happy in his heart, and the anger just now was swept away, and he said: "This is about the same, then how much silver did you say the restaurant spent?" ”

"Not much! Four hundred and fifty taels? Lin Huaijin said quickly.

"Sister! Look at how much he has paid, I, the eldest brother, will give you five hundred taels if you don't want it? Bai Xiaoran said childishly.

"Yes! I think it's better for the two of you to open one, and I'll go to the countryside and live on those few acres of fields. Lu Caiqing said angrily.

Bai Xiaoran was naturally not stupid, and when he heard that his sister was angry with him, he was afraid that Cai Qing would be angry, so he quickly stood up and said, "Then otherwise, didn't Huai Jin come out of the house?" You still partner in the restaurant, how about my eldest brother in charge of decoration? You won't refuse me now! I can't back down anymore, or we can just open up the three of them, I think it's not bad. ”

"The beauty of thinking! Since you're going to contribute, why don't you help me find a few diligent guys. The shopkeeper let Brother Song learn to take care of it temporarily. Lu Caiqing said to his eldest brother.

"That'...... What about the decoration? Bai Xiaoran asked expectantly.

"I'll do the decoration style myself, can you help me?"

"No! Otherwise, I will pay the young man's salary in the future, and there is not much money for this, if you don't let this, I will ......! ”

"Listen to you, the people you are looking for, you are responsible for it!"

Bai Xiaoran finally followed his mind when he heard this, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Huaijin is responsible for leaving the venue, Bai Xiaoran is responsible for recruitment, and Lu Caiqing is responsible for decoration and everything.

There are rich people, and there will be no ambiguity when it comes to work, so I found Wang Lin, who was originally employed, and contracted the work, Lu Caiqing drew the drawings that night, because the two had contact, Wang Lin is also a professional in the industry, and he understands it at a glance.

Lu Caiqing drew the drawings, and after dinner, he began to prepare the cake for Zhou Ru's birthday.

Spend your own money to prepare gifts, not to mention the more money and less money, the cake you make yourself is sincere.

Just do it, she found the back kitchen of Manjinglou, after all, it is a big local restaurant, and the ingredients needed are very complete.

First of all, separate the egg white from the egg white, there can be no egg yolk or water in the egg white, and add a small amount of salt and maltose to the egg white.

Use chopsticks to start beating the egg whites. Tilt the bowl a little and maximize the contact of the chopsticks with the egg white, until the egg whites are hard and blistered, and they cannot be turned over.

Then add sugar to the egg yolk, add milk to it, add flour and stir well.

Finally, pour the egg white paste together and stir it into a paste, put it in a container and smear it with lard to prevent the bottom from sticking to the pan.

After adding firewood to the steamer and steaming it out of the pot, Song Ziyu hurriedly opened it to take a look, and a fragrance of eggs came to his nose, and he touched the round dough cake softly.

When Lu Caiqing saw it, he said, "Taste it, and see if it's delicious?" ”

Song Ziyu nodded, happily broke off a piece of the dough and put it in his mouth, it was fluffy and soft, and a little sweet.

Bai Xiaoran and Yun Ge also tasted a piece, Bai Xiaoran couldn't help nodding and said: "The taste is soft but not greasy, and the taste is even more fragrant, with an endless aftertaste, but this cake cake is a little unsightly?" ”

Lu Caiqing listened to it and said with a smile: "I haven't finished it yet, I see I'm adding some ingredients to it." ”

So Lu Caiqing started to make simple cream again, first beating 4 egg whites and beating them into small bubbles with a small layer on top.

Add a little more salt, a drop of white vinegar, and a spoonful of sugar to continue beating the egg whites.

When it is a little thick, when you see that the egg white is like the foam of bath gel, add another spoonful of sugar and continue to beat.

After that、When you feel that the egg whites are thicker, add a spoonful of sugar and continue beating。 It wasn't until she tried to pick up the egg whites and saw that the egg whites could stand up that she knew the cream was ready.

She made the dough again, then spread the cream evenly, wrapped the cake, and improved it herself with a suitable prop.

Dotted with some flowers, the single eye color is not good-looking, so she found a way to blanch the spinach in the water and take it out to become green spinach juice, put it in the cream and stir it evenly to become green cream.

She garnished the cream into grass and topped it with some fresh strawberries. The combination of red and green eye colors is very dazzling.

Watching a beautiful work of art come out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lu Caiqing saw it and said: "This is just one of them, I still think that when the restaurant starts to open, I will make a small portion of the cake for one person and the dessert after cooking, do you think it's good?" ”

Song Ziyu was the first to react and said: "Little daughter-in-law! There is something else in your mind that we don't know, this cake is really good, tomorrow to celebrate Lord Zhou, after sending it, it will definitely be overwhelming. ”

"That's not it, I'll make it a little more delicate, and tomorrow I promise to be the highlight of the scene!" This cake is the first finished product I have made, so I'll give you a taste first! Later, I'll make a better congratulatory gift for Lord Zhou. ”

Lu Caiqing smiled, watching the three of them competing to eat the cake first, she was very happy, fortunately she used to be able to, but now she is so handy, otherwise she would really have to put some effort into preparing a congratulatory gift.
