"What?! Childe knows? Shopkeeper Zhang almost didn't bite his tongue.

Although everyone's tastes are different, the inhabitants of a certain region often show similar food styles due to factors such as environment and culture.

For the shopkeeper Zhang, it is enough to understand the general preferences of the Li people, and he can also have a specific direction when he is ready.

"It's just what the envoys of the Li State generally like to eat, I have had some dealings with them, and I know a thing or two." For Chen Zhishu, these things encountered today are very interesting, she was going out casually, who knew that she could catch up with so many coincidences.

As his sister, Chen Zhishu knows very well that Chen Pu is not a picky eater at all, but if he has to say that he likes it, he may like those fresh delicacies that he has never seen.

Hearing Chen Zhishu say this, Situ Xi looked at her, and was even more sure that she was the noble child of a certain high-ranking official's family, after all, Chu and Li attached great importance to this exchange, even if it was a person with a lower status among the envoys, it was not something that ordinary officials could contact.

And Lao Zhangtou was also secretly surprised, this boy is not an ordinary person, too, after all, he came with Brother Xi.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhangtou wanted to ask Chen Zhishu for advice, but he was too embarrassed to speak, he looked at Chen Zhishu and rubbed his hands.

"Really? That child...... Can Childe ......?"

"The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite, your dish is quite delicious, thanks to the hospitality, I should tell you about it."

"Old Zhangtou, if you eat fatter, you can become lucky, your luck is really good, you have to thank Brother Chen." Situ Xi was a little envious of the shopkeeper Zhang, and when he thought about it, it seemed that someone had always sent him a pillow when he was asleep recently.

"That's natural, if Chen Gongzi's news really works, he will definitely repay him afterwards." He actually kept an eye on what he said, after all, it was not easy for him to judge the truth of what Chen Zhishu said, and he was also a new acquaintance with this Chen Gongzi today, and it seemed that Brother Xi and he were not very familiar with him.

"In fact, the main envoy of Li Guo's visit this time is quite fond of eating some pastries, so these snacks from the shopkeeper alone may be enough." The pastries on the table now taste good, and I haven't seen them anywhere else, they should be the original creations of this Yu'er girl, and he should be very happy to bring some back to Chen Pu today.

"Pastry? Sure enough, it's no wonder that the announcement specifically states that each restaurant should prepare at least three snacks. Lao Zhangtou was very pleased to hear this, which was similar to what he pondered, and now it has been confirmed, and he is even more happy. After finishing speaking, he looked at his daughter again, and said happily: "Yu'er, this time our restaurant depends on you, and my father believes in you." ”

The pressure suddenly came to her, Zhang Yuer was a little embarrassed, she looked at her father and said, "Three snacks...... But Daddy, my daughter doesn't have many pastries to get her hands on, and it's approaching, so I'm afraid I can't think of any new ideas now......"

"It's okay, just let it go, if you really can't do it, you can just gain some experience."

Situ Xi on the side was secretly thinking about it at this time, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart. The craftsmanship of this father and daughter is really good, his wife likes sweets, and he just wants to do some business, and he currently has some capital in his hands.

It seems that now is a good time, so it is better to simply propose to them to open a dessert shop in partnership, with the various delicious desserts and marketing methods that they know that are popular in later generations, they should not lose money, and if there are many benefits, they will find a way to attract some powerful people to join them, so that there is some security in terms of safety.

"Actually, I have a secret recipe for making new pastries. It's sweet, and it may be loved by many people, but do you want to try it? Thinking of it, Situ Xi is going to put forward a plan first, and then everyone will discuss it slowly.

Secret recipe? The father and daughter of the Zhang family were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other, with a look of hesitation in their eyes.

"This ......"

"Is there a problem?"

"That's not it, since you even said that Xige'er was good, the pastry you said was naturally good. But after all, we have just received your favor, and now we have obtained the secret recipe from you...... Since it is a secret recipe, it should be a secret that cannot be passed on, and Xige'er should keep it for himself, but don't take them to others easily. ”

Craftsmen pay the most attention to what they eat, Old Man Zhang stared at Situ Xi's eyes, his words were sincere, and Situ Xi realized that he was thinking about himself.

"Ha, I didn't say I was going to give it to you. The next thing to talk about is business. ”

Desserts should be the food that most powerful people like to see, but the real market situation still needs to be known in practice, Situ Xi is ready to take out one or two common pastries in the later generations to test the water at the spring food party, if the response is good, the guests are willing to pay, then it is not too late to pay for the business bigger.

This first kind of cake is set to be a Western-style cake first, last time I saw a lot of foreign merchants selling candied fruits and nuts on the roadside, and there are many kinds of local fruits in Xuan'an, so you only need to make a simple manual whisk to beat the egg whites.

Remember to add some almond flour to the batter and bake it at the right temperature to make a cake.

Anyway, it's still early, give them a general direction, let the Zhang family father and daughter slowly explore and try, mainly dedicated to the pursuit of that fluffy taste, which is actually a business opportunity.

When the time comes, if the effect is good, then casually decorate some names in front, what birthday cake, wedding cake, even if the child goes to school, you can buy a school cake to taste, which is very good.

"Business? Xige'er, don't destroy your future! Although I don't know where you come from, but with your talent, it must not be comparable to ordinary students. Who knew that Lao Zhangtou was terrified when he heard Situ Xi's words, and he hurriedly reminded Situ Xi not to put the cart before the horse and ruin his good future.

"I'm just a shareholder, you do the business, I'll share some money from it, how about it?"

"What is a share?"

"You simply understand that I give you some pastry recipes, and then invest some money in you, but try not to participate in your business, and I am only responsible for drawing the corresponding dividends when making a profit in the end." Situ Xi explained briefly to Lao Zhangtou.

"Partnership?"

"Almost." You can explain the details to them later.

"If Xige'er didn't participate in it, it would be fine." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, if it is only to this extent, it should not be a big problem.

"Interesting, how much money does it take to buy a stake? Can you add one to me? Chen Zhishu also wanted to experience the experience, but she would be returning to Li Guo soon, so it was best to invest less silver.
