Ye Jiayao went to make food, and Xia Chunyu took her brochure and leaned on the bamboo couch to read it.
I saw that it was written in densely written small letters, and the characteristics of each dried fruit, candied fruit, and cake were recorded in great detail.
Xia Chunyu admired her serious attitude. If it were anyone else, she would have gone to Baiweizhai or Juxiangyuan to buy a few random items. The customers would not say anything. There are not many people who demand perfection like her.
Before he was a little worried that she would not do well, but now he believed that she could do well.
Ye Jiayao made Yangzhou fried rice and walked to the stairs on the second floor when she heard someone shouting: "Are three kings amazing? I will kill you with the Seven Immortals..."
Uh, isn't this Song Qi's voice
Ye Jiayao followed the sound and looked over. She lay down in the crack of the door and saw Song Qi and a few guards playing cards.
OK, this guy said to make tea, but he got a double dunk here.
Ye Jiayao remained calm and returned upstairs.
Xia Chunyu smelled the aroma of rice and hurriedly stood up and removed the things on the couch: "Eat here, by the window, cool."
"There is no beef in the kitchen, so pork is used. There are no green vegetables. I added some pickled vegetables. Don't be dissatisfied." Ye Jiayao stated first, this guy is very picky.
Xia Chunyu said disapprovingly: "What's the point? Before you went up the mountain, my food was much worse than this. Didn't you come here anyway?"
"You also said that I make delicious food for you every day, but you are always mean to me." Ye Jiayao became angry just thinking about it.
Xia Chunyu said: "I didn't know your details at that time. I thought you were the boss's spy! They kidnapped such a beautiful woman. Don't give it to me. Of course I have to be suspicious. You know, the boss has always been You don’t trust me, I have tested you several times.”
When Ye Jiayao heard him compliment her on her beauty, her anger calmed down again, she glared at him and muttered: "Excuse."
Xia Chunyu didn't defend himself, he told the truth, and there was nothing he could do if others didn't believe him.
Although the ingredients are not rich enough, only diced pork, pickled vegetables and eggs, Yaoyao's cooking is delicious.
In fact, he wasn't hungry, he just missed the egg fried rice she made so much that he ate it to the hilt and saw that not much was left in her bowl.
"If you don't want to eat, give it to me." Xia Chunyu stared at her bowl.
Ye Jiayao hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "You have eaten so much, and I specially filled a big bowl for you."
"Who said that every meal is hard-earned and cannot be wasted? Besides, I took a trip to the Purple Mountain today. It took a lot of energy, so I should eat more." Xia Chunyu snatched her job away without explanation. He went over and poured half of it into his bowl before returning it to her.
Ye Jiayao said depressedly: "If there is a famine, everyone who is with you will starve to death."
Xia Chunyu looked at her and smiled, his obsidian eyes shining softly: "Then you don't have to worry, I can't make you hungry even if I cut myself off."
Ye Jiayao was slightly embarrassed. What do you mean? Is she so important in his heart
Ye Jiayao was eating her rice in silence, and she always felt a hot gaze falling on her face. She couldn't help but raise her eyes, and met a pair of black eyes as deep as a whirlpool, with a faint smile in them.
"Why are you staring at me?" Ye Jiayao glanced at him.
Xia Chunyu pointed to her cheek: "There are grains of rice."
Ye Jiayao hurriedly went to wipe it, but there was nothing!
"Did you lie to me?" Ye Jiayao asked suspiciously.
Xia Chunyu pretended to lower his head to eat, and said calmly: "It was there just now, but it's gone now."
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips, enjoying such a warm moment. He once thought that he would never have the opportunity to sit face to face with her and eat like this again in his life. The scene in front of him was so similar to the night they got married, when they were competing like this. Eat, but at that time she dared not speak out and was cautious.
"Chun Yu, where do you think Song Qi will go?" Ye Jiayao asked.
Xia Chunyu said slowly: "It's not next door, let alone sitting in the lobby downstairs. I guess I'm hiding somewhere to hit double dunks."
Ye Jiayao was stunned, he really knew his men.
Xia Chunyu looked at her with a faint smile: "Are you going to Juxiang Garden tomorrow?"
"Yes! You said it so well, so naturally I want to go and see it."
"I'll ask Song Qi to accompany you. I'll pay for it. You can buy more, and then let Song Qi try it until he has no energy to play cards." Xia Chunyu said.
The boy, becoming more and more lawless, dared to leave the drudgery to him and sneak away to play cards.
Ugh, this is too cruel! However, why does she think this method is good!
The rain stopped outside the window and the food was full.
"You should go back, it's very late." Ye Jiayao urged.
Xia Chunyu sighed and said, "Yes, it's time to go back."
It's time to leave, but he doesn't want to leave, but he doesn't dare not to leave. Finally, his relationship with Yaoyao has improved, so he can bear with it a little longer!
"Then I'll go back first. I don't know if I'll be free to come over tomorrow." Xia Chunyu stood up and said, hoping to see some disappointment in her eyes. Unfortunately not.
Ye Jiayao said: "You are busy with your business, I am fine anyway."
Xia Chunyu felt gloomy in his heart. Did something have to happen before he would think of him? Can't you think of him when you have nothing to do
"Go, go, I'm sleepy too." Ye Jiayao kept urging.
Xia Chunyu's face is so stinky! Walking out quickly, Ye Jiayao politely followed him to see him out.
Suddenly, the person in front of him braked suddenly. Ye Jiayao didn't stop and bumped into him.
Ye Jiayao covered her sore nose and complained, "Why did you stop suddenly?"
Xia Chunyu said thoughtfully: "I forgot one thing."
Just when Ye Jiayao was about to ask him something, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead like a dragonfly.
Ye Jiayao was about to get annoyed when she heard his gentle whisper: "I'll come back tomorrow."
Then he turned around gracefully and strode away.
Ye Jiayao stared at the door of the empty basement and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Why did I just let him kiss me? Why didn't Mao have a big mouth to slap him at that time? Isn’t that how it’s done in TV dramas? He thought he was qualified to ask for something in return after helping her a little? Do you think she has completely forgiven him by being nice to him
Even if she has forgiven him, that doesn't mean she will accept him.
There were too many problems between them. They were not in the right family. At least they had a family. She didn't even have a family, and she didn't want to be his concubine. Then she would look at his wife's face every day and live a life of dependence. It was boring.
Ye Jiayao angrily closed the door forcefully. Will you dare to take advantage of her next time? I am not a vegetarian.
Early the next morning, Ye Jiayao went to Juxiang Garden and bought a bunch of pastries. Song Qi's expression became very painful when she walked into Juxiang Garden.
"Brother Yao, why do you buy so many pastries every day? Do you want to open a pastry shop?" Song Qi asked cautiously.
Ye Jiayao smiled secretly: "I have this plan!"
Song Qi was about to cry. He was still hoping that his sister-in-law would open a restaurant in the future so that he could have a few meals. If he opened a pastry shop, would he be often called to taste it
"Brother Yao, I think opening a pastry shop is not as good as opening a restaurant. You see, I only buy one or two boxes of pastries at most. When I eat, I only have a table of dishes. I can make more money. Pastries are only what women like to eat, and men like to eat them." Most people can’t get used to these sweet and greasy things.”
Ye Jiayao said leisurely: "Then we can open restaurants and pastry shops. We can do whatever we want to make money."
Song Qixin said: You have a really big appetite.
"Song Qi, take all these pastries later..." Ye Jiayao said deliberately slowly, watching Song Qi's face slowly turn into the word "bad".
"Brother Yao, please forgive me. I ate too much last night. Now when I see the cakes, I feel like I don't have to eat for seven days. How about I help you find some girls to try them?" Song Qi collapsed. Begged with a straight face.
Ye Jiayao couldn't help but laugh: "I haven't even finished what I said. Why are you anxious? I asked you to take all the cakes to the Heaven Bureau. Today, I will treat the brothers to eat."
Song Qi straightened up immediately and grinned: "I obey, Brother Yao."
After finishing their work at noon, Ye Jiayao called everyone to a meeting again, but this time the treatment was improved. Not only were they provided with tea, but they also brought their own pastries.
"Come on, let's all have a taste. After you've tasted it, let's talk about the characteristics of each pastry." Ye Jiayao opened the food box and took out about ten plates of pastries.
Deng Haichuan wondered: "Brother Yao, why do you make so many pastries? Isn't the most important thing the dishes?"
Ye Jiayao patted him on the shoulder: "Haichuan, I'm thinking about a problem. You can't be too one-sided and simplistic. Of course, the food must be good, but there are many people in Jinling who cook good food. It's good if the guests praise it for being delicious, but pastries It’s different. If you can come up with new ideas, new tricks and new flavors, it’s easy for guests to remember. The excitement often lies in the details. There is a saying that details determine success or failure. This time we are not saying that we don’t seek no success but only no mistakes. What we want is a blockbuster.”
Everyone seemed to understand somewhat and nodded thoughtfully.
“Dishes are the key to a banquet, but the combination of tea, dried fruits, pastries, and desserts is also very important. Even the plates, chopsticks, and spoons used may be factors for failure or success. We must pay attention to every detail. Aim for perfection.”
Ye Jiayao continued.
Zhong Xiang silently distributed the pastries: "Eat it, taste it carefully, and discuss it together if you have any opinions."
Sincerity and sincerity are no longer enough to describe how he feels about Li Yao now. He feels that compared with Li Yao, he is really far behind. Li Yao's thinking can not only control the overall situation, but also pay attention to details, just like a strategizing general.
Ye Jiayao had already planned the dishes for the birthday banquet, and the dried fruit preserves were decided yesterday. Only this pastry, she could not make up her mind. After everyone had eaten, after discussion, she finally decided on the four pastries: pea yellow, Walnut puff pastry, mille-feuille cake, and kidney bean rolls.
"Li Yao, these are common pastries. You said you want to come up with something new. How do you make this?" Zhong Xiang was unsure.
Ye Jiayao pursed her lips and smiled: "New ideas are made by people. Everyone should go back and think about it. I will go to Prince Helian's Mansion later. If the menu is finalized, we will start preparing it tomorrow."
