Chapter 60: Cakes
Xiaowu's words seem to be just casually said, but in fact, they are already the highest praise for An Juan's craftsmanship.
An Juan also sensed the little girl's praise for her, so she turned her head sideways and smiled softly at him, her smile full of gratitude.
The little girl was just a young man, and when he saw such a stunning woman smiling at him, he only felt that half of his body was numb.
He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a gaze not far away.
The look was like a gun, and it stabbed him hard in the back.
Who's this?
The little guy was shocked, and quickly looked in the direction of the man.
It's just that after seeing this person, the dissatisfaction and depression on the little guy's face all disappeared.
…… It turned out to be Lord Ye!
The little guy was just a subordinate of the Ye Palace, and when he saw Luo Yelin looking at him, he immediately remembered the relationship between Luo Yelin and An Juan.
He was actually in a daze with the future princess, didn't he kill himself?
The little guy's heart was pounding.
Although he still thought about An Juan's smile in his heart, he didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Seeing that the little girl quickly lowered her head to pack up her things, An Juan didn't pay attention to her words at all, so she was no longer bored.
After this feast, the name of the Yuanju Pavilion quickly changed from "only a few people know" to "most people know".
What followed was a better and better business, and even the original helpers of Yuanju Pavilion couldn't cope with it, so An Ju could only ask Luo Yelin for help again, and recruited a few more diligent helpers to come in.
Seeing that An Juan's restaurant was thriving, and the relationship between Luo Yelin and An Juan was also known and appreciated by more people, Liu Mingxi couldn't sit still.
She originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while, so that her figure and name would be erased from Luo Yelin's memory.
But because her restaurant is located opposite Anjuan, as soon as Anjuan's business improves, her prospects become worse and worse.
Liu Mingxi's face is not obvious, but his heart is actually burning, and he is restless every day.
Even in recent days, a huge fire bubble has grown on her lips, and pus flows in it, making her cry out in pain every day.
Since Luo Yelin knew that she sent someone to make trouble in front of the Yuanju Pavilion, he should also tell An Juan the truth.
Liu Mingxi didn't believe that An Juan was a kind person...... How can a truly kind person make a restaurant prosperous?
For Liu Mingxi to do something that will completely collapse her career, how can An Juan not hold a grudge?
Walking around the top floor of the hotel worriedly, Liu Mingxi's hands and feet were cold.
She looked down at the bottom of the restaurant, but saw only a few customers.
It's a lot of fun.
Liu Mingxi vaguely remembered the lively scene of her restaurant when An Juan had not yet opened here.
And now it's lively......
She thought as she moved her steps to the window, and finally stopped by the window, staring at the Yuanju Pavilion.
There are two entertainers standing at the door of the Yuanju Pavilion, and every time a wave of guests comes out, they must be courteous to send them off.
These two people are good-looking and have good voices, and Luo Yelin gave them a good salary.
And their job looks easy, but it's actually tiring...... After all, the business of Yuanju Pavilion is too hot, and they hardly have time to relax.
In front of Liu Mingxi's hotel, the two entertainers were much more relaxed.
The two of them leaned lazily against the door, and when they saw a guest coming, they stood up and helped pull the door open.
Just standing in the middle of the road and looking at the mental outlook of both sides, you can understand the situation of each other.
A passer-by can understand the truth, and Liu Mingxi understands it clearly.
And she not only knows, but also knows how empty her hotel looks like it is.
Anwan is really lucky.
Liu Mingxi will not admit that she is bad, so she will only be jealous of An Juan's good luck.
As soon as the store opened, it attracted so many diners, and it even won Luo Yelin's blue eyes.
Liu Mingxi has known Luo Yelin for so many years, and it is the first time she has seen him so attentive to a woman - this is all something she fantasizes about.
These things that Liu Mingxi had spent several years trying to get his hands on, but An Juan easily got them, which couldn't help but make Liu Mingxi jealous.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
But her facial features exposed to the light of day were still distorted and weird.
…… Since An Juan will definitely retaliate against her, then she Liu Mingxi will have to strike first.
Liu Mingxi's gaze An Wan didn't feel it.
Even she has "a vague memory" of the existence of such an opponent as Liu Mingxi.
At this time, she was making scallion pancakes.
Scallion pancakes are a delicious taste that people never get tired of eating in modern times.
Anwan has a soft spot for it, and thinks that no matter what you eat with scallion pancakes, the taste is not bad.
The flour used for scallion pancakes is semi-hot noodles.
An Wan deliberately boiled a pot of hot water and poured it into a basin where the flour had been placed.
After stirring well with chopsticks, use cold water to make the noodles well.
In the process of mixing the noodles, An Wan pinched a small handful of salt and put it in.
After kneading the dough into a round dough, Anwan reached out and patted it, then took a damp cloth and covered the basin, and woke the dough up for a quarter of an hour.
After a quarter of an hour, An Wan uncovered the damp cloth, put a small bowl of cold water in it again, and continued to knead it.
Then she woke up for another ten minutes.
After finally waking up the dough, An Juan took it out, cut it into two pieces with a kitchen knife on the cutting board, rolled it into a long dough by hand, and then cut it into small pieces one by one.
Nie Ying watched from the side and curiously asked An Juan how to make it next.
An Wan glanced at him and saw that the curiosity in his eyes was indeed very strong.
"Roll out the dough into thin slices and brush it with lard." She reached out and threw a piece of dough in front of Nie Ying.
Nie Ying quickly completed all these steps.
An Juan got up and looked at the shape and thickness of the dough sheet, and thought it was good.
So she took out the chopped green onion from a small bowl next to her and sprinkled it evenly on top.
After sprinkling it all over, An Wan cooperated with both hands and rolled up the dough sheet from both sides to the middle, and finally turned it into a long strip.
After making the next few pieces of dough into such shapes, Anwan placed them neatly together and continued to cover them with a damp cloth to rise.
Ten minutes later, An Juan took them out, took out one, and went from both sides to the middle socket, and suddenly looked as if they were making a picture scroll.
After rolling it, Anwan flattened it and rolled it out.
Then let it rise for another fifteen minutes, and the cake is ready to be baked.
The pancakes always have to face the oil smoke, An Juan doesn't care about it, but Luo Yelin is next to him, Nie Ying pushed An Juan to talk to the prince, and he went to the pot to put the pancakes.
Luo Yelin has been watching the whole process from the side, and the curiosity in his heart is like a wave surging, which cannot be suppressed.
At this time, seeing An Juan sitting beside him, Luo Yelin hurriedly asked, "Juan'er, will the cake made here be delicious?" ”
Receiving Luo Yelin's questioning eyes, An Juan remembered the taste of scallion pancakes and smiled slightly: "Of course it's delicious." ”
Seeing that Luo Yelin still looked like he wanted to say something, he probably wanted to say something but was afraid that she would be angry.
At this time, Nie Ying had already put a piece of cake in the pot, An Juan took a deep breath, and turned to look at Luo Yelin: "The prince will know how it tastes in a while." ”
"That's fine." Luo Yelin nodded, and waited with An Wan for the scallion pancake.
An Juan took advantage of this time to think about the soup that should be served with it.
She didn't have any requirements for soup, after all, there were more and more refined recipes of this kind in ancient times.
So she leaned into the kitchen and asked Nie Ying, "Brother Nie, can you help make a soup with cakes?" ”
Nie Ying didn't think about An Juan's request, and directly turned around and made a gesture of "yes", and replied at the same time: "No problem." ”
The speed of the pancakes is very fast, and the aroma of scallion pancakes spreads in a small space.
Luo Yelin was still thinking about how weird the taste of the cake made of green onions should be, but now when he smelled the fragrance of green onions, he felt hungry.
…… Obviously, he had just finished eating.
Nie Ying quickly took out a plate of scallion pancakes, and then turned around to make soup again.
Several other people gathered around the table, each with a small piece of cake, and everyone tasted it together in the hot heat.
The scallion pancake is fragrant and refreshing, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it is so delicious that people's tongues will melt when you bite into it.
Song Qin saw that Nie Ying was still chopping vegetables, so she went to hand him a piece of scallion pancake.
After Nie Ying opened his mouth and swallowed it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's delicious!" ”
He watched An Juan finish the process, so he also had a rough consideration in his heart.
It's just that he never thought that the taste of scallion pancakes would be even better than he imagined.
It's a pity that a soup is missing, otherwise it will be more delicious.
Nie Ying smacked her lips and sped up to make a soup.
Everyone just stood at the table and finished the meal.
As soon as the scallion pancake was eaten up, and before the plate could be removed, Nie Ying wiped his mouth casually, and couldn't wait to say to An Juan: "Girl, is this scallion pancake also going to be added to the recipe?" ”
Seeing Nie Ying's anxious appearance, An Juan's heart was amused and warm.
So she looked at Nie Ying and nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”
With An Xuan's approval, Nie Ying's face obviously showed a happy expression.
He got up to clean up the table and plates, and diligently cleaned the kitchen again.
Then he returned to his room.
Luo Yelin has been sitting on the chair and cleaning up the counter with An Juan.
Seeing Nie Ying's actions, Luo Yelin looked at An Juan and said softly: "The chef you chose is very interesting." ”
Hearing Luo Yelin's praise, An Juan's beauty was picked: "This is not the chef I selected, it was obviously chosen by the prince." ”
Although Nie Ying's group of people was only ordered by Luo Yelin and selected by the housekeeper, Luo Yelin was still very happy after listening to An Xuan's words.
Complimenting Luo Yelin, An Juan looked at the kitchen: "Brother Nie is indeed a good person, after becoming the chef of Yuanju Pavilion, he thinks about how to make business better every day, how to make the food more delicious, and even studies how to make several dishes at a time......"
…… Although in the end, he didn't figure out why.
