If you want to generate income for nearby shops, it has to be your own, right
This cake shop located near Taoxi Road is not only the main store, but also because it is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, and has a giant Buddha named Yuan Zhou sitting there, so its business has always been top-notch.
Even the first branch now opened on Chunxi Road can't compare with it. The store here is also the most popular one. It's definitely not because it's closer to the Chef's Shop and it's easier to queue up for dinner.
In fact, she had already grasped the time when she brought Lillian to the shop very accurately. There would be a ten-minute break between the end of breakfast time and Yuan Zhou's knife practice or other exercises, so as to ensure that Yuan Zhou's extra time would not be wasted.
After meeting Yuan Zhou, there was still a lot of time left before queuing up at lunch time, so he took Lillian to the main store and then Manman discovered that she had made a miscalculation.
Taking a person with a severe sweet tooth to a cake shop is no less than catching several mice and putting them directly into a rice vat.
This is how Lilian feels. She wishes she could have a portion of each cake. Each portion looks very exquisite and gorgeous, and smells sweet. You can tell how delicious this cake is just by smelling it. .
In the past, Manman made cakes in a small way, but after being given some advice by Yuan Zhou, his skills have doubled. I don’t know if it was influenced by Yuan Zhou. Not to mention the taste of the cakes here, Manman’s cakes are also very beautiful in appearance. It's much more exquisite than other cake shops.
Even though Lillian is used to eating desserts with three Michelin stars, looking at these cakes and other Western desserts, her heart keeps churning with joy.
Every cell in her body was clamoring for the idea of eating. If it weren't for the need to maintain the last bit of stubbornness as a woman, Lillian felt that she could eat from one side of the store to the other, which would be comparable to sweeping a cafeteria.
People who don't like sweets can't imagine how a person who likes sweets feels in such a sweet world.
Anyway, Lilian felt that she must have come to China at the right time.
Lilian's family background allows her to eat many Michelin-starred dim sums. Her grandfather is the president of the French Pastry Evaluation Association. Both her parents are experts in making dim sum, and they have also received the Blue Emperor's Medal, the highest rating for dim sum. With so many people making dim sum, it’s natural that they have been raised to hold their mouths since childhood.
Lilian, who grew up in such a wealthy family, is immune to ordinary cakes and snacks. If she eats too many delicious ones, she will not be able to eat the lower quality ones.
Many people say that after eating too much abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe, they want to change the taste by eating porridge and side dishes. This is indeed true, but changing the taste does not mean eating it all the time.
Although Manman's cake, which was instructed by Yuan Zhou, cannot meet the evaluation of those three-star Michelin dim sum, and is far from the dim sum rated by the Dim Sum Association, it still has an inexplicably attractive taste. Even if it is not very rich, it is enough to arouse Lillian noticed that she thought this was the concept of a new type of snack.
But even with Lilian's strength, she couldn't figure out what it was.
Wanting to understand this was the reason why Lilian came to Chengdu without hesitation. The red velvet cheese cookie was definitely just an accident.
Although Lillian is young, she has a very sharp tongue. She is known as the most talented person in their Bruce family, and is also recognized as the most promising person to take over the position of her grandfather, the Blue Emperor.
Although the association’s highest-level medal for pastries is the Blue Emperor, there is currently only Lillian’s grandfather, Joan Bruce, who is the only Blue Emperor of pastries in France.
The highest pastry achievements are also due to him. Although this is an association with a short history, its influence in the French pastry industry is increasing day by day. At least many French pastry masters are able to obtain the association's honors. The Order of the Blue Emperor is the highest honor.
Having a grade certificate certified by the Dim Sum Association is also a must-have tool in daily job hunting. Many star-rated restaurants will recognize the certificate issued by the association.
In addition to studying pastry skills, Lillian has an outgoing and cheerful personality, and is also tasked with discovering potential pastry masters. Only by constantly absorbing new blood into the association can the association grow stronger, and this can be done regardless of nationality.
This last point was brought up by Lilian after she gained some of the right to speak. Of course, many people in the association opposed it, but Grandpa still tried his best to suppress the opposition and also proposed that Lilian must make some achievements before it can be considered official. The proposal was settled.
Manman is the first pastry chef with potential that Lillian discovered. Lillian hasn’t mentioned this to Manman in detail yet. Looking at the way Lillian’s eyes lit up when she looked at the cake, Manman also didn’t expect that Lillian was still interested in poaching him. The idea comes.
Since he said that he would take Lillian to experience the charm of the Chinese pastries made by Yuan Zhou, naturally Manman would not let Lillian eat more, but would only let her eat the store's signature rose cake and then be quiet. Waiting for lunch time to arrive.
Manman was already an expert at queuing at a pinch. Considering that she was queuing with a newbie, Manman was a little ahead of schedule. As expected, by the time the two of them lined up, it was almost the same as when she usually queued alone.
In order to let people see Yuan Zhou's strength, this was the first time Manman brought someone to queue up together. Fortunately, Lillian was invited by Yuan Zhou to taste dim sum, which did not break the boundaries she had set for herself.
"Do you all know each other?"
Lilian watched Manman queue up from the beginning to the end. No less than ten people had greeted her before and after her. She said hello to so many people while having a meal. She must have too many acquaintances, right
Lilian, who had never experienced such a battle, was a little uncomfortable.
"They are all diners who come to boss Yuan's place to eat together. Let's say hello when we meet," Manman said.
"Don't you know each other?" Lilian felt confused.
"I saw him when we were eating here in the shop, but we didn't talk much. We don't know each other very well." Manman didn't think anything of it.
While talking, another person nodded and said hello as he passed by.
Lilian: “…”
Is this the basic operation of eating in a Chinese restaurant? Lilian thought about it and thought that she had never encountered such a situation when she went out to eat when she was in school here. She was a little confused.
But one advantage she has is that she puts aside things that she can't figure out. She might figure it out one day, so there's no need to waste time now.
Because they were accompanied by Manman, Lilian and the others were in the first echelon. After Su Ruoyan announced the start of lunch time, the two of them went in smoothly with the flow of people, and did not wait for a particularly long time.
To put it simply, Lillian could already enter the restaurant to dine before she could feel the excitement of queuing at the God of Cooking store. However, she had seen that there were many people coming to eat.
