After returning, Gao Dian opened his doors as usual.

The days were uneventful, and a while passed like this.

During these years, the progress of Gao Dian's cooking skills is also extremely impressive.

He has really reached the upstream level, not the kind that can only be achieved by relying on super-level play, but normal performance is also the upstream level.

Now, Gao Dian is also a powerful first-class pastry chef.

At the same time, he is also making up for his shortcomings and slowly thickening his accumulation, and now his accumulation is still a little worse than that of a senior first-class pastry chef.

But now he is not bad at all compared with pastry chefs of the same age who have been in contact with pastry since childhood.

You must know that people have been in contact since childhood, and now it has been many years, and how long has Gao Dian been in contact with pastries?

Being able to catch up in such a short period of time is already quite impressive.

The improvement of the level of cooking skills drives the depth of accumulation, and at the same time, the depth of accumulation also drives the improvement of the level of cooking.

The two complement each other, and Gao Dian has his current achievements.

Although the progress is not slow, Gao Dian is not complacent, he understands that his current level has not yet reached the level of pride and complacency.

He is still far from the level of a first-class pastry chef, don't look at him to the upper level of a first-class pastry chef, but to reach the level of a first-class pastry chef, it is not just hard work to achieve it.

As for how to reach the special first-class pastry master, Gao Dian is still not very clear, but he vaguely heard Wei Qiaoyi mention two sentences.

……

In the evening, a customer came to the store.

Seeing the visitor, Gao Dian was very surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Li Dongyang's face was heavy and said, "But I'm still here." ”

Gao Dian: ???

What are you doing here? And the lines don't match at all, okay.

Gao Dian was a little speechless in his heart.

"Let's sit down first." Gao Dian said.

Li Dongyang was not polite, sitting on the stool, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"Are you just here as a guest, or is there something going on?" Gao Dian asked.

"I've got something going on, huh? Didn't you say that your business in the store was very good, why was there no one? Li Dongyang looked at it and said.

Gao Dian said: "I'm already closed, if you hadn't come, I guess the doors would have been closed." ”

Li Dongyang: ............

"It's only past eight o'clock, and you're closing so early?" Li Dongyang asked.

"yes, everything is sold out, why don't you close the door and leave it open? Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me? Gao Dian said.

Li Dongyang hasn't appeared for a long time, and although they are in the same city, they rarely see each other.

"My lifelong enemy, have a bloody duel with me!" Li Dongyang said with hot eyes.

Gao Dian: ......

Yes, it's still the same Form 2, it really hasn't changed at all.

"Ahem, try it or something, forget it for the time being, I can't do it here." Gao Dian politely refused.

He didn't want to have a bloody duel with Li Dongyang, he still had to practice, today he learned a new kind of pastry, and he was about to try to see if he could make it.

"Nope! My lifelong enemy, have you flinched? No, I won't allow it! Li Dongyang said seriously.

Gao Dian heard this expressionlessly, and he was embarrassed and was about to pull out the three-bedroom and one living room.

Suddenly, Gao Dian felt that something was wrong, he looked up at Li Dongyang and asked, "Have you reached the level of a first-class pastry chef?" ”

Li Dongyang gave a thumbs up and said: "It is worthy of being my lifelong enemy, you can guess this." Come on, I can't wait. ”

"Can you please be normal?" Gao Dian said.

However, he was also a little surprised in his heart, Li Dongyang had reached the level of a first-class pastry chef silently, and his progress was very fast.

Among the few of them, Gao Dian can only have such a fast progress by opening the hanging, if he doesn't open the hanging, although he has a little talent, he will not progress so fast.

"Congratulations." Gao Dian said.

"Thank you, but I want to have a competition with you more than your congratulations, I've been waiting for this competition for a long time." Li Dongyang said.

This time, he spoke with an unusually serious attitude, and he worked hard to practice his cooking skills, in order to try to catch up.

You must know that there are two worlds between the first-level pastry chef and the second-level pastry chef, and after the same first-level pastry chef, the gap is not so big.

Gao Dian was silent for a while and said, "It's okay to compete, but I don't have any ingredients here." ”

"Don't worry, I brought it." Li Dongyang said.

Gao Dian was speechless, you are really well prepared.

"Okay, then let's have a fight." Gao Dian said.

"Good!" Li Dongyang agreed with some excitement.

At this time, a person walked in outside the door again, it was Wei Qiaoyi.

"Gao Dian, I'll give you ...... Li Dongyang is also there? Wei Qiaoyi was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Li Dongyang.

Gao Dian saw Wei Qiaoyi and smiled: "Thank you, I'll just wait for this." ”

What Wei Qiaoyi was carrying in his hand was a package, and inside was a small stone mill, the package looked small, but the weight was not low, and Wei Qiaoyi was half-lifted and half-pulled in.

This is what Gao Dian bought to make pastries, originally he thought about buying it online, but Wei Qiaoyi said that the stones used on the Internet are not good, and the workmanship is rough, and the grinding effect is also poor.

It just so happened that she knew someone who specialized in this and could buy one for him.

Gao Dian naturally agreed, Wei Qiaoyi could buy a better one, and he naturally welcomed it.

Now Gao Dian likes all kinds of kitchenware, and stone grinding is also a kind of kitchenware.

Li Dongyang looked at the two suspiciously, and his intuition told him that there must be a problem between the two people.

However, he didn't think deeply, the purpose of his coming was not to explore Gao Dian's private life, he came to have a fight with Gao Dian.

Gao Dian got up and mentioned it, the thing was very heavy, he almost didn't mention it, he practiced cooking every day, basically every day, and the strength of his arms was not small.

Gao Dian opened the package, revealing the stone mill body inside, and just at a glance, Gao Dian fell in love with this stone mill.

The polishing is very exquisite, and many places are done in great detail, and the stone material is also very good, although Gao Dian can't recognize it, but the feel and weight are very good.

One of the drawbacks of a small stone mill is that it is not heavy enough.

Stone grinding is to rely on its own weight, if it is too light, then the ink will not be fine enough.

And this stone mill is very heavy, of course, it is not as good as a large stone mill, but in the same volume of stone mill, it is also very good.

Li Dongyang looked at the stone mill and wondered, "What are you going to do when you buy this?" ”

Gao Dian smiled: "You'll know later." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, and suddenly remembered that he had just been interrupted by Wei Qiaoyi, and he almost forgot.

"Let's start the competition quickly." Li Dongyang said.

Wei Qiaoyi on the side heard this, and said with a smile: "You want to compete? ”

Gao Dian explained: "Li Dongyang has reached the level of a first-class pastry chef, and he wants to learn from me. ”

Hearing this, Wei Qiaoyi's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? That's hello. ”

Li Dongyang said: "Thank you. ”

Wei Qiaoyi paused and said, "Since you want to compete, why don't I be the referee for you?" ”

Li Dongyang responded: "No problem. ”

Gao Dian shrugged his shoulders and said that he was fine.

Wei Qiaoyi looked at the kitchen and said, "The kitchen shouldn't be able to accommodate two people cooking together, so let's come to the kitchen one by one, which of you comes first?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "I'll come first, no opinion." ”

"No, you go first." Gao Dian said with a smile that he didn't care who came first and who came after.

Li Dongyang nodded and walked into the kitchen with the ingredients.

Outside, the two were chatting.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"What's the matter?" Gao Dian asked in surprise.

"Do you want to open a more upscale restaurant?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"I definitely want to, but I don't have much savings right now, and I guess the rent is a bit difficult." Gao Dian said.

In these days, he has made money through the pawn shop, but he doesn't make too much, after all, his ability is limited alone, and the noodles sold are not very expensive.

Don't look at Gao Dian's business here is booming, but in fact, he doesn't really receive many guests.

Wei Qiaoyi said seriously: "Otherwise, we will open a hotel with half of the funds per person?" ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you think of opening a restaurant together?" ”

"This is kept secret for the time being, I'll tell you later, anyway, I have my reasons." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian heard this, pondering, he didn't agree immediately.

It can be said that he has not been able to do it with great difficulty now, whether it is to give it up and go to Bo, it is good to win, but it will be miserable if he loses.

If he starts all over again, he may not be able to make the pawn heart shop what it is now.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "You should think about it first, and it will not be too late to tell me when you figure it out." ”

Gao Dian nodded and did not speak.

Wei Qiaoyi's thoughts flew far away, and Gao Dian was thinking about whether to gamble.

According to his original idea, he did it step by step, first using the pawn shop to save enough money, then expanding the store little by little, and finally making it a high-end restaurant.

Now that Wei Qiaoyi came to let him take many steps at once, Gao Dian didn't know whether to agree for a while.

However, looking at Wei Qiaoyi's appearance, he was not in a hurry, Gao Dian decided to think about it.

Li Dongyang finished making his pastry, which was the lily cake!

He also entered the level of a first-class pastry master with this pastry, but the pastry he learned was not the same formula as the one he learned from Gao Dian.

One of Master Li Dongyang's best pastries is lily crisp, which he passed out at the beginning, but it was only a low-profile version.

The real high-profile version, he passed it on to his son, and his son passed it on to Li Dongyang.

It can be said that in terms of formula, it is much more powerful than the lily cake of the Gaodian Society.

Seeing the lily cake made by Li Dongyang, Wei Qiaoyi and Gao Dian both picked it up and tasted it.

Gao Dian tasted it carefully, this lily crisp was delicious, and the taste was different from what he made.

The lily cake he learned at the beginning was a simple version of this dish, and the taste was worse.

Li Dongyang has only just entered the level of a first-class pastry chef, but the lily cake he made is more delicious than the lily crisp made by Gao Dian when he entered the level of a first-class pastry chef.

The level of the two is about the same, and the reason why Li Dongyang makes it more delicious is because of the formula.

After tasting it, Gao Dian sighed a little in his heart, is this the high-end version? Sure enough, it's very different.

Of course, he only sighed, and did not appear jealous.

After all, this is the master's unique skill, and it is normal to pass it on to Li Dongyang, so why pass it on to an outsider?

"How?" Li Dongyang asked.

"Good, it looks like you've really gotten to the level of a pastry chef." Gao Dian said.

"That's for sure, if you don't enter, I won't dare to come to you to compete." Li Dongyang said.

Gao Dian smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Wei Qiaoyi had eaten this version of the lily cake, but compared to what she had eaten before, Li Dongyang's cooking was too bad.

Of course she didn't say anything.

Li Dongyang looked at Gao Dian and asked with some expectation, "What are you going to do?" ”

Gao Dian said: "Have you run out of ingredients you brought?" ”

Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "No, I brought more than one copy, what's wrong?" ”

Gao Dian smiled: "Then I'll borrow it." ”

With that, he went into the kitchen.

Li Dongyang still can't hear it, Gao Dian is also making lily cakes!

A gleam flashed in his eyes, as the opponent who knew Gao Dian best, how could he not know what Gao Dian was good at?

Along the way, Gao Dian has become famous for two pastries, one is lily crisp and the other is knife-cut noodles.

Among them, the knife-cut noodles he made are better than the lily crisp.

And now, Gao Dian wants to do the same as himself, which of course has no problem.

But is Gao Dian so confident?

Li Dongyang was a little puzzled.

The lily crisp he made today is a high-profile version, not comparable to the low-profile version that Gao Dian learned before.

He is also a first-class pastry chef now, and the high-profile version he makes, Gao Dian is confident that he will win with the low-profile version?

At this moment, the emotions in Li Dongyang's heart were extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he hopes that Gao Dian will come up with his strongest pastry chef, and on the other hand, he also hopes that he can win.

Li Dongyang is self-aware, although many people say that he is arrogant, but he understands it.

Gao Dian's current record is far from being comparable to his first-level noodle level.

The reason why he couldn't wait to come to learn from Gao Dian was that he meant to show off, he worked hard for so long, and finally became a first-class pastry chef.

On the other hand, Li Dongyang also wanted to see how big the gap between himself and Gao Dian was.

If he wants to catch up with and surpass Gao Dian, then he must know the gap between the two, and only by knowing the gap can he know how to work hard.

With an extremely complicated mentality, Li Dongyang was waiting outside, he didn't talk to Wei Qiaoyi, in his opinion, there was nothing to say, and the two were not familiar with each other.

Wei Qiaoyi didn't speak, he looked cold, in fact, he himself belonged to a relatively cold person, but in front of familiar people, he would show another side.

Although the two were not far apart, they were quiet, and no one spoke, just waiting there.

Unbeknownst to him, he was concentrating on making pastries.

Today, he didn't prepare the ingredients for the lily crisp, thanks to Li Dongyang who brought it.
