Liquor Chocolate's success exceeded Su Tang's expectations.
It can only be said that the quality of the cocoa beans bought by Zuixiaolou is really good, so it is possible to make such a good wine chocolate.
And Zuixiaolou's wine is of course even more top-notch.
Combining the two, plus Su Tang's ability, naturally there is a liqueur chocolate that amazes everyone.
Let alone Su Tang, the remaining three people immediately judged it after eating this snack.
This thing called liqueur chocolate will definitely sell well.
Maybe it will exceed the popularity of Jingshuilou crucian carp.
It is both dessert and fine wine. These two completely different things can have such a taste.
Jing Liang looked at Su Tang, feeling extremely shocked.
He watched Su Tang do things step by step, and every time Su Tang did things, he was amazed.
Jing Liang came back to his senses, and used Huang Yuetong's excuse to sit in the courtyard.
Zhu Jinyuan and Su Tang were left in the room.
Zhu Jinyuan took a deep breath, he just looked calm, but in fact he couldn't hold back his excitement.
Zuixiaolou is in his hands, at most it will maintain the appearance of his mother when she was there, but now with the appearance of Liquor Chocolate, Zuixiaolou will definitely be able to improve to a higher level.
They can even make such snacks in batches and then sell them.
It's okay if you have other snacks.
But this dim sum not only has the characteristics of Zuixiaolou, but also has novel ingredients.
Zhu Jinyuan believes that this liquor chocolate must be their new signature in Zuixiaolou in the future!
It will also allow him to better control Zuixiaolou.
In the future, no one would dare to try to take Zuixiaolou away.
"Miss Su, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to make such delicate dim sum, and you told me all the recipes." Zhu Jinyuan originally wanted to give Su Tang money for Buyout cookbook.
But after tasting the liqueur chocolate, Zhu Jinyuan knew that no amount of money he gave was enough.
After all, the taste of this thing is too little.
Su Tang scratched her head: "Actually, it's nothing. It's nothing to me. I didn't create this recipe myself, but an old fairy named Hua Guo. Seeing that my family is pitiful, he taught me these skills."
Su Tang continued: "Besides, I don't have nothing. Didn't you promise to provide me with cocoa in the future? This is enough."
The current cocoa beans are all on the island thousands of miles away. With their own ability, it will take a few months to buy them. Now Zuixiaolou promises that they will send the prepared cocoa powder. What else is there? easy to say.
It's been great for her.
Zhu Jinyuan shook his head: "Miss Su may not care, but this is a great favor to us at Zuixiaolou. I am willing to share 30% of all the income from Liquor Heart Chocolate with you. delivered to your home."
?
Divided into again
Su Tang thought that last time Jingshui Building was also divided.
But she felt very guilty about taking the money, how could she just accept the three-cent bonus, and it seemed that she would continue to give it.
Su Tang only felt that she hadn't made friends. None of her friends were taking advantage of her.
But she really can't accept the money. If it's the food she made herself, then she has no problem making money. Now she just provides a recipe she learned online, and she has to share 30% of the profit. She can't do this kind of thing .
Su Tang thought for a while and said, "How about this, I remember that there is a Shangqing Temple in the north of the city, they donate porridge every month, so donate 10% of the profits to them, and treat it as it is for me."
After finishing speaking, Su Tang said again: "Don't say that I donated it, just donate it secretly."
Zhu Jinyuan frowned. In fact, he had vaguely heard about the Lingyin Temple in the south of the city. It seems that Jingshui Tower now gives incense money every month, which is not uncommon.
Those who do business will burn incense and worship Buddha, but I heard that the figures given by Jingshuilou are quite a lot.
And I started donating after the day I made crucian carp soup.
Could it be that she donated the money Jingshuilou wanted to give to Su Tang
Su Tang didn't know that Zhu Jinyuan had already guessed about Lingyin Temple, and thought that his little vest was well hidden, but in fact it had been exposed long ago.
So repeat the old trick and ask Zhu Jinyuan to give the money to the Taoist temple.
Isn't this just right
Donated to the temple last time, this time to the Taoist temple!
Zhu Jinyuan's heart was greatly shocked, and he bowed to Su Tang, if Su Tang had something to do in the future, it would be his business and Jingshuilou's business.
He will never forget Su Tang's great kindness.
When Su Tang and Zhu Jinyuan discussed this matter, it was almost dark outside.
Today, I have been busy here all day with wine chocolate, and now it has finally come to an end. I believe that when Zuixiaolou launches this snack, the whole capital will be shaken.
After all, in the ancient times when the recipes were not so rich, if there was a fashionable food, it would be popular in the whole capital, and even the whole Cangqin country.
Seeing Zhu Jinyuan's expression, Jing Liang basically guessed what happened.
This is Su Tang, she is too smart and too different.
If it was someone else, she would probably want to hold the recipe and eat it for a lifetime, but she doesn't seem to care at all.
Even puffs, so many people like it, but she just doesn't want to do it if she doesn't want to do it.
It's useless to anyone.
The four of them had dinner, and Jing Liang sent Su Tang home.
Both of them were a little silent on the road.
The main reason is that Su Tang felt that Jing Liang was a little weird, and he couldn't tell what was weird.
Along the way, Jing Liang was actually thinking about one thing.
According to the past, he wanted to get in touch with Su Tang slowly, and then express his heart.
But now, he always feels that Su Tang will go further and further away in the future, and he can no longer grasp it.
If we say that when they first met at the God of Cooking Competition, he seemed to be better than Su Tang, regardless of his family background or other places.
But after several rounds of the God of Cooking Competition, Jing Liang has discovered that he may not be able to catch up with Su Tang even if he flatters him.
Her cooking skills, as well as her character, are what he doesn't have.
Therefore, the original plan of Xu Xu has changed his mind now.
Seeing that the small restaurant was right in front of him, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, Jing Liang summoned up his courage and finally called Su Tang to stop at the back door of the small restaurant.
"Su Tang, I have something to tell you." Jing Liang said.
Su Tang listened to her words and always felt that something was wrong, but Jing Liang continued to speak.
"I'm asking you today, do you have any plans for the future?" Jing Liang said, but he didn't have the courage, but he really wanted to say it, to express his heart, "If I say, I have thought about the future, and in this future There's someone there."
Su Tang subconsciously wanted to refute, you have someone in your heart, so what does it have to do with me.
But she didn't ask, because even a dull person would find something was wrong.
Jing Liang carefully told her what to do.
It doesn't make sense.
Jing Liang continued: "If I tell the person in my heart, Miss Su, are you willing to listen?"
Su Tang took half a step back subconsciously. Is this a tactful confession
So what is she going to do
She never thought of such a thing!
Jing Liang saw the hesitation in her eyes, and smiled: "Don't worry, if you don't want to listen now, you can stop listening for now, wait until later."
Before Jing Liang could finish his sentence, another voice interrupted him.
"Su Tang, it's so late, why are you still outside?"
When Su Tang heard this, he looked at it subconsciously, and saw that half of Mr. Qi's face was hidden in the darkness. There was a smile on his mouth, but it always made people shudder.
"Something happened just now."
Su Tang answered Mr. Qi, subconsciously realized, why did she tell him.
But Mr. Qi's aura made her speak out.
Qi Tianyun nodded, Shi Dingren beside him was already stupid.
The last time I saw Master Hou laughing like this was when we wiped out the rebel army and killed the head of the enemy.
He went to work in the military camp during this time, what happened to make Lord Hou look like this.
But Su Tang heaved a sigh of relief, subconsciously walked to Mr. Qi's side: "It's so late, what's the matter with you?"
As he spoke, he winked at Mr. Qi.
Fortunately he is here! That way it can be less embarrassing.
If Mr. Qi hadn't come over, she would still have to find a way to reject Jing Liang.
I have always regarded him as a friend, and never thought of being with him.
Jing Liang also knew that it was inappropriate to say such words at this time, so he reluctantly looked at Qi Tianyun, not wanting to show weakness to him.
But who is Qi Tianyun, who has been on the battlefield, seen blood, and is the identity of Lord Hou.
The two looked at each other for a few times, and Jing Liang was defeated.
Only then did Qi Tianyun slowly say: "It's nothing, just passing by. I heard that someone went to the Xicheng Restaurant today to make trouble?"
Shi Ding murmured in his heart, didn't you come to see Su Tang because of this matter.
Moreover, he was in a hurry to finish his official business, so he came here in a hurry, but he didn't expect to meet a young couple to talk about love.
Yes, Shi Ding could see the scene just now.
The young owner of the Jingshui Building in front of him might like Su Tang, but in his opinion, the two are actually a good match
Even if Su Tang's family background is not as good as Jing Liang's, Su Tang is capable.
Such a good thing, why did Lord Hou interrupt him
Shi Ding didn't say what was in his heart, if he did, he would only be severely beaten by Qi Tianyun.
After listening to Mr. Qi's words, Su Tang smiled and said, "It's all right, I've sent him away anyway."
Even if those people come to make trouble again, she can handle it.
Qi Tianyun nodded and handed Su Tang a jade pendant: "If they come to make trouble again, just show me this jade pendant."
Qi Tianyun no longer intends to hide his identity, take his time, or his wife will run away with others.
Su Tang glanced at the jade pendant against the moonlight. Although she had not seen many jades, such moist jade must be priceless.
Su Tang quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I can handle it, I don't need your jade pendant."
She refused so much, so Shi Ding couldn't help but say: "You can just take it, with his jade pendant, no one in the whole capital dares to provoke you."
Shi Ding thought she didn't understand the function of this jade pendant.
But Su Tang knew it and didn't want it.
Su Tang shook her head: "It's really nothing, thank you."
Qi Tianyun didn't force it, and nodded: "Okay then, you should go back to rest early, it's already late, and it's not safe outside."
Shi Ding, who is in charge of public security in the capital:? What? Do you doubt my ability to work
But Shi Ding didn't say anything, and continued to watch the play.
He seemed to find something was wrong.
Why does Lord Hou look weird
When Su Tang heard Mr. Qi's words, she nodded quickly. She wanted to leave a long time ago!
It's really embarrassing to be here.
Su Tang looked at Jing Liang and said embarrassedly: "I'm going home first, we'll talk about it later if we have something to do."
Su Tang will talk about it later, even Shi Ding can see that this is an excuse, and obviously he does not intend to talk about it.
ah
This Su Tang actually doesn't like Jing Liang
Even though she has some skills, few people can accept the scar on her bald head.
A talent like Jing Liang, how could she look down on him
No one knows what Shi Ding thinks.
At this moment, Qi Tianyun and Jing Liang were looking at each other.
Qi Tianyun said lightly: "You must already know who I am."
Jing Liang reluctantly nodded, if he had guessed before, but now he is sure.
Every time Qi Tianyun, no, every time Lord Hou went to Jingshui Tower, as the young master, he couldn't get close.
So when he saw Mr. Qi in Su Tang's mouth before, he didn't recognize him as the well-known Marquis of Weiyuan in Cangqin Kingdom.
But this time was different, this time he knew the person standing next to Master Hou.
Shi Ding, General Shi, unexpectedly appeared in their restaurant.
Besides Marquis Weiyuan, is there anyone else who can make Little General Shi so respectful, and his surname is Qi
Jing Liang didn't know what he was thinking at this time, but just now he dared to look at Lord Hou.
This is disrespectful.
Jing Liang reluctantly said, "Understood."
"Since you know, stay away from Su Tang." Qi Tianyun didn't hide his intention at all, "If you see you pestering her again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Then what if we are in love? Will Marquis Weiyuan want to separate us?" Jing Liang gritted his teeth.
"If she really liked you, she wouldn't make excuses to run away, wouldn't she?" The anger in Qi Tianyun's heart had dissipated when Su Tang was in a hurry to leave, so he said a few words in a good-tempered manner.
The last hope in Jing Liang's heart was broken by Qi Tianyun, yes, if he really likes it, according to Su Tang's character, he will never find an excuse to go home.
"Then does she like you? I heard that she doesn't allow you to eat in small restaurants. Marquis Weiyuan, even though you are a famous Marquis, in her eyes, you are just a diner. And you are a dignified Marquis, One person is less than ten thousand people, she is just a little cook, and a little cook with a disfigured appearance, Master Hou should not provoke her."
After Jing Liang said these words, he had exhausted all his strength, but he just wanted to say, just to let Lord Hou know that he was no better than himself.
Qi Tianyun said indifferently: "This is not something you worry about, I have made up my mind, who else can stop it?"
Jing Liang's heart sank even more, and it was exactly what he thought.
This Mr. Qi had the same idea as himself, and he also took a fancy to Su Tang.
"How do you match up? She is just a little cook, but you are the high-ranking Marquis. And you have been hiding your identity to get along with her. With Su Tang's temper, if she knows the truth, she will forgive you? She is so afraid Troublesome personality, I'm afraid it will run faster."
"I said before, this is not something you worry about." Qi Tianyun said lightly, "If you dare to say a word about today's matter, then your family's Jingshui Building will not need to be opened. As for my identity, then Of course I'll tell her."
Qi Tianyun's face turned dark, he didn't know that Su Tang was afraid of trouble.
If she was really greedy for vanity, he would have revealed her identity a long time ago and asked her to go to the Hou's mansion obediently.
But she isn't, isn't that what she likes too
Watching Jingliang leave, Qi Tianyun said to the guards beside him: "Find two people to keep an eye on the Xicheng Restaurant and the small restaurant. If anyone comes to cause trouble again, report it to me immediately."
It's too late to know today, otherwise Jing Liang will accompany Su Tang to solve the trouble
Qi Tianyun was upset, but seeing Shi Ding's dumbfounded eyes, he said calmly, "Ask if you have anything."
"Ask, how should I ask this? Master Hou? What Jing Liang said is true?!" Shi Dingren was already stupid, he knew that Jing Liang liked Su Tang, so did Master Hou? !
"Master Hou, do you want to take Su Tang as a concubine? But you are not married yet, how can you take a concubine room." Shi Ding couldn't help but said, "Even if you are a concubine, Su Tang's status is too low. And with her Will you be my concubine if you have such a character?!"
Why go to the military camp by yourself, the sky will change.
Master Hou actually likes this little cook
At most, Su Tang is better at cooking, what else is better, his appearance is damaged, and his family background is low, how can he match up with Lord Hou
Hearing this, Qi Tianyun said without changing his expression: "It's not about being a concubine, it's about being a wife."
Qi Tianyun looked at the back door of the small restaurant, and said seriously: "She is much better and smarter than she thinks."
After saying this, Qi Tianyun no longer looked at Shi Ding's face, and went back to the house directly.
But Shi Dingren was already going crazy.
Does this really exist? !
Marquis of Weiyuan, Qi Tianyun wants to marry a little cook? !
You know, among the rich and noble daughters in the capital, who doesn't want to marry Qi Tianyun.
Lord Hou is good-looking, with an extraordinary bearing, and even more capable. He said one thing in the court, but no one dared to say another thing.
I don't know how many people stared at Mrs. Hou's position.
But Hou Ye has never married a wife, he must have looked down on those people.
Now Lord Hou finally has a woman he likes, but she is a little cook from West City
And a woman with a scar on her forehead
If this news gets out, won't Su Tang be finished? !
I'm afraid she will be surrounded by people wherever she goes!
Seeing Master Hou looking over, Shi Ding immediately shut up: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell about this!"
How dare he say it! ! !
Qi Tianyun nodded: "Yes, Su Tang agreed to marry me, and then tell the story."
It's just that this road is very difficult, and he will definitely protect Su Tang carefully.
Su Tang will also agree.
Su Tang, who was about to go to bed, didn't know that she was being targeted by wolves, and she was the kind who would never let go if she didn't bite into her mouth.
She was thinking about Jing Liang right now.
ah? ?
If Mr. Qi hadn't appeared, Jing Liang would have confessed his love.
Was she not ready at all.
Thinking about it, Jing Liang was hesitant to speak during the day, and that is the expression of wanting to chase her
Jing Liang was born with a dignified appearance, and he was considered a gentleman.
According to the current era, it is actually a good match.
Su Tang thought about it, but she really didn't intend to marry.
Now that she doesn't get married, she is more free. If she really gets married, she probably won't have such a relaxed life.
And she is a modern person, she really can't stand the ancient customs of three wives and four concubines.
So Su Tang decided very early not to marry.
As long as she saves money well and takes good care of her younger brother, she will naturally have a comfortable life in the future. It's not like she can't live without a man in this world.
Su Tang sighed.
Monogamy, which is readily available in modern times, turned out to be a luxury in ancient times, which is really too difficult.
Even if Jing Liang swears not to take concubines, is that really possible
Su Tang didn't bother to think about it anymore, her eagerness to escape just now explained everything, I hope Jing Liang can retreat in spite of difficulties.
Jing Liang did retreat in spite of the difficulties, but it was not because she had just escaped.
But Su Tang didn't know this, she had already fallen asleep!
I'm going to make puffs for everyone tomorrow. This is something I promised you a long time ago!
Waking up the next morning, Su Jinhang went to school as usual, and there was already a queue at the breakfast shop in front of him.
Su Tang had a good night's sleep, and she didn't get up to make puffs until the shops were closed earlier.
She was cooking and eating leisurely here, and sent someone to Xicheng Restaurant to fetch some ice cubes.
The ice mirror that Mr. Qi put here last time worked again.
But as soon as Su Tang opened the door to the clerk Bing Jian, she saw a little girl sitting at the door, she had seen this little girl before.
Seeing Su Tang, Sun Qiaoshan immediately stood up, "I was just about to knock on the door!"
This is nonsense, if you really intend to knock on the door, will you sit here
Seeing that there was no one following her, Su Tang asked strangely, "You came here specifically to find me? Where's your family?"
The last time I saw this little girl at the God of Cooking Competition, there were at least seven or eight maids by her side, and now it's too abnormal to come here by herself.
Sun Qiaoshan's face was embarrassing: "My family didn't know that I was here, so I wanted to apologize to you."
Su Tang was a little strange, and asked, "Apologize? Why do you want to apologize to me?"
Because of me, I just said something casually, which made your Xicheng restaurant surrounded by people.
Sun Qiaoshan couldn't say it out, so she could only say: "Anyway, it's an apology, this is an apology."
Saying that, Sun Qiaoshan handed several strings of pearls to Su Tang.
Su Tang can't laugh or cry, what's going on recently, why everyone is giving her money.
This pearl is very round, no matter how you look at it, it is worth a lot.
Of course, Su Tang wouldn't accept it, so she took the little girl into the house first, and asked her to sit down and talk slowly: "What's your name, where is your home, I'll ask someone to send a message to your home, you keep this pearl, you alone It's too dangerous for the little girl to run out by herself and bring such a valuable thing with her."
Sun Qiaoshan nodded: "My name is Sun Qiaoshan, it's okay, I'll be back in a while, I have money, I can take a sedan chair."
How could this be possible? Su Tang saw that she was only eleven or twelve years old, so he met a kind person and did not deceive her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Su Tang couldn't secretly report to the officials. After all, Sun Qiaoshan was from a young girl's family, and if the girl's family got lost, she was afraid that her reputation would be damaged.
Su Tang thought for a while, and said, "I happen to be making puffs, do you want to come together? I'll bring you more than a hundred puffs and send you home, okay?"
Sun Qiaoshan's eyes lit up immediately: "There's also that drink that day, I'll give you the money, I can buy it!"
"It's all right, I still have some cocoa powder here, but after it's done, you have to let me take you home, okay?" Su Tang immediately negotiated terms with her.
Sun Qiaoshan also knew that she couldn't sneak out for too long, so she nodded immediately.
What Sun Qiaoshan didn't actually say was that she had a quarrel with her parents, and then she ran out secretly, and then thought that Su Tang was being made things difficult for her own reasons, so she directly rented a sedan chair and asked someone to take her to the West City.
Fortunately, Su Tang is well-known. After coming to West City, she can know where her home is just by asking.
But when she got here, she didn't dare to knock on the door, so she was a little scared.
But Su Tang also noticed it, probably a child who ran away from home.
However, the family must be in a panic when the child runs away from home. She needs to make puffs quickly and send them home.
Fortunately, the materials are all available, and one or two hundred can be made in less than half an hour.
As for the hot cocoa Sun Qiaoshan wanted, it would be even faster.
But just as the puff embryos were placed in the oven, there was another knock on the door.
As soon as Su Tang opened the door, he saw Qi Tianyun with a dark complexion, beside him was an anxious maid and a handsome young man.
She has seen this boy before, he seems to be Qi Tianyun's cousin
That time I fried soybeans and green beans and gave them to him.
Qi Tianyun nodded slightly towards her: "Someone in the family ran away from home, I guess she came here."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Qiaoshan turned her head to the side.
Sun Qiaoshan looked at the people in front of her, subconsciously wanted to run away, but Qi Tianyun directly raised it: "Do you know how worried the family is?"
The Shangshu Mansion is in a mess! Even the little emperor was shocked!
Fortunately, his subordinates rushed to report that they saw the future empress go to a small restaurant!
Only then did Qi Tianyun bring people here.
The emperor also followed, even if Shang Shu and his wife were still looking elsewhere, otherwise they would rush over.
Su Tang, look at them, what's going on!
Why are there so many relatives in Qi Tianyun's family, and they all ran to her small restaurant!
But what Su Tang didn't know was that in the courtyard of her house, there stood the little emperor, the future empress, and the powerful minister Hou Ye.
And she patted her head: "It's over, it's over, the puffs are going to be baked!"
Chapter 51
