Su Tang never thought that things would turn out like this.
Mr. Qi's cousin and cousin are actually sitting in the courtyard of her house, waiting to eat puffs
But no matter what, Su Tang looked calm.
No matter what you do so much, let's cook by yourself. Anyway, with this idea in mind, Su Tang went straight to the kitchen.
Qi Tianyun followed in.
Qi Tianyun apologized: "I guess they all heard about you, so they came here."
Su Tang nodded without asking further questions.
Qi Tianyun continued: "Don't you have any doubts?"
Of course there are, such as why these people are so extravagant, why did the little girl called Sun Qiaoshan apologize to her, saying that she caused trouble.
And the boy who looked at Twelve Thirteen, why did everyone respect him.
All this made Su Tang puzzled, and even had an unbelievable thought in his heart.
But as long as she pretended not to know anything, nothing happened!
She doesn't want to know the truth!
Su Tang replied directly: "There is no doubt, the puffs will be ready soon, and you can take them home in a while."
This is short of saying directly, after I finish making the puffs, you should leave quickly!
Qi Tianyun chuckled: "You're so smart, don't you have any doubts?"
After hearing this, Su Tang pretended to be stupid: "I'm just a little cook, of course I don't understand anything."
As he said that, Su Tang smiled: "It's ok, the puffs will be ready soon, you should go out and stand for a while."
Qi Tianyun looked at her for a while before walking out.
Su Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoever he is, he can't stay at her house all the time.
Soon Su Tang made all the puffs needed, and asked Qi Tianyun and the others to take away two or three hundred puffs, and sent the rest to the previous judges' homes, which they had pre-ordered.
After finishing these things, Su Tang watched Qi Tianyun and the others leave.
I thought it was over like this.
But Qi Tianyun got off his horse and turned back.
Qi Tianyun approached slowly, looked down at Su Tang, and said, "Su Tang, I have time, I can wait for you to ask me all the questions."
Su Tang looked at Qi Tianyun's handsome face, and was a little dazed for a moment, oh my god, don't get too close if you are handsome!
"No problem, Young Master Qi, please go, everyone is waiting for you."
Indeed, both Sun Qiaoshan and the boy on the carriage looked over curiously, with gossip expressions on their faces.
Su Tang was very embarrassed by them, but Qi Tianyun seemed to see through her mind, chuckled, put the previous jade pendant directly into Su Tang's hand, turned and left.
Su Tang didn't have time to react, and couldn't help but said, "Are you a money-scattering boy? I haven't returned the bank note I gave you last time, and now you give me the jade pendant? Are you afraid that I will sell it?"
Qi Tianyun sat on the horse and said without looking back: "Sell this jade pendant, and I will give you another piece. This is to keep you safe."
Okay, I have said all the words to keep you safe.
Just say his identity directly.
But Su Tang made up her mind, she had to pretend that she didn't understand, that she didn't understand anything.
No matter what the true identities of the group of people were, she just had to pretend not to know!
Whoever they are, just guard the small restaurant by yourself.
Qi Tianyun and the others left, and Su Tang's place became quiet again.
But Su Jinhang couldn't help but asked Su Tang: "Sister, who are they? They seem to be very important officials."
Even Su Jinhang, who was seven or eight years old, could tell that Qi Tianyun was almost a clear card.
Su Tang said casually: "It doesn't matter who they are, as long as we open the restaurant properly, the rest has nothing to do with us."
Su Tang thought about the upcoming sixth round of the MasterChef Competition.
The sixth round will start in mid-June.
There are still twelve days, during which she can take a break, but now Su Tang is thinking whether she should continue the competition.
There's enough limelight right now.
If you continue to compare, no matter how stupid you are, you will inevitably know Qi Tianyun's true identity.
Would that be a problem
But she is not a character who gives up halfway, it is not her character to leave halfway.
never mind.
How about love.
As long as she pretends she doesn't know anything.
Who can wake up a person who pretends to be asleep!
After Su Tang figured it out, she continued to drink tea and read books, and after she rested for a while, she made other desserts!
Now she is a person who has cocoa, mousse cake, tiramisu, everything can be made!
Even if she doesn't sell it, she can eat it herself.
The healing of desserts is unmatched by others!
While Su Tang was at home, Zui Xiao Lou was ready to launch their newest dim sum.
Originally because of Zhu Jinyuan's mistake in the God of Cooking Competition, his stepmother and younger brother kept clamoring for him to share some rights.
Fortunately, most of the buildings in Zuixiaolou belonged to Zhujinyuan, so they didn't snatch them away.
But think about it.
In the God of Cooking competition, Zhu Jinyuan originally wanted to use cocoa to make a blockbuster, but he didn't expect to use stuffed cherries as a snack to barely win.
Some people complained about Zhu Jinyuan.
The main people in charge of Zuixiaolou, in addition to the shopkeeper, are also the accountant and the chef of the back kitchen.
Then there is the management of the buddy.
Originally, Zuixiaolou was in the hands of Zhu Jinyuan's mother, and she took care of it herself, and the people of Zhu's family didn't bother much.
But now Zuixiaolou's business is getting better and better, and it is still in charge of half of the wine industry in the capital, and people from other Zhu families have also joined in.
Zhu Jinyuan looked at the person in front of him, and said calmly: "I don't know what's the matter with father, stepmother, second uncle, and aunt coming over."
Zhu Jinyuan's father looked livid: "If your mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had lost your master in the MasterChef competition! Your mother worked hard to find drinks for overseas nobles, and wanted you to compete in the MasterChef competition." You were brilliant in the contest, but what about you? You ruined it! You were almost eliminated!"
"Yeah, Jinyuan, how could you be so careless, don't you know? I heard that the emperor even asked about this competition, and the daughter of Minister Hubu also said that she likes the puffs in the Master of Cooking competition. Now such a competition is so important, How can you make mistakes." The second uncle of the Zhu family also began to criticize.
Even Zhu Jinyuan's aunt was saying that he almost embarrassed Zuixiaolou.
There was a smile on the corner of Zhu Jinyuan's mouth, but it was the shopkeeper behind him, and the stewards were a little angry.
This Zuixiaolou is in the hands of the eldest son, and it is also thriving. It has finally managed to operate on such a scale, and these people have come to criticize. Haven't they spent the money of Zuishiaolou
Zhu Jinyuan had already expected what they said, and said lightly: "So? How do the elders plan to deal with this matter."
"What's your attitude? Why are you talking to the elders? Your stepmother is looking after you, don't you know?" Zhu Jinyuan's father said coldly.
The stepmother next to him persuaded: "It's okay, that ingredient is difficult to handle, it doesn't matter if the eldest son can't handle it, our second child will handle it."
"In this case, let Zhu Jinkun and your second brother also work in Zuixiaolou. It will definitely be better for the two of you to run Zuiziaolou together." Zhu Jinyuan's father said directly.
Zhu Jinkun has already begun to secretly rejoice, he is confident that he can drive Zhu Jinyuan out of Zuixiaolou!
But Zhu Jinyuan said slowly: "What does the second brother come to Zuixiaolou? Do you make cocoa tea? According to the way overseas nobles eat? I'm afraid this thing doesn't match with Zuixiaolou. What Zuixiaolou sells is wine, even if It’s because the dishes are also related to wine, how can we launch such a thing.”
"This is why you don't know how to work around! Don't you know that the current emperor, Marquis Weiyuan, is looking forward to new food every day, and encourages everyone to find food that has never been seen before. If Zuixiaolou first has unheard of food , then you will be famous in the capital immediately!" Zhu Jinkun said anxiously, "Don't you know? Zhenxiu Restaurant, Jingshui Building, have sent people overseas to find food? If I can make cocoa tea, it will definitely It will fall into the eyes of officials!"
Zhu Jinyuan shook his head: "No, I have also tasted cocoa tea, that is, cocoa and sugar are boiled together, and the bitterness of cocoa is forcibly suppressed with sugar. According to the practice of overseas nobles, chili is added in it, which is not in line with the people of the capital. taste."
"You talk so much! Isn't it because I know how to make cocoa tea, and the cocoa tea you make is embarrassing in front of everyone!" Zhu Jinkun didn't expect that Zhu Jinyuan would still defend himself. Jinyuan clamored.
Zhu Jinyuan looked at the faces of everyone.
Knowing that they are not good people, it turns out that they still want to get a piece of the action from him when they come here today.
Zhu Jinyuan said lightly: "I say that because of another reason."
"Cocoa is very good, but the cocoa tea you make is too rough and doesn't have the characteristics of Zuixiaolou. If you can combine the characteristics of Zuixiaolou and improve the cocoa tea, then I agree."
Hearing what Zhu Jinyuan said, Zhu Jinkun sneered: "You said that I made it rough, so can you do it? Combined with the characteristics of Zuixiaolou, can you do it?"
Zhu Jinyuan said: "Give me some time, of course I can."
"Don't be ridiculous, look at you, you didn't even make cocoa tea in the MasterChef Competition, are you still thinking about something else? It's just a dream." Zhu Jinkun sneered, almost saying that you are not as good as me.
That's it, Zhu Jinyuan's father still didn't say a word, there was nothing to say about this partiality.
Zhu Jinyuan said meaningfully: "Since this is the case, if I make novel dim sum with Zuixiaolou's characteristics, what do you want?"
"I will never step into Zuixiao Tower again!" Zhu Jinkun was provoked by Zhu Jinyuan and said directly.
Zhu Jinkun's mother, that is, Zhu Jinyuan's stepmother, didn't have time to stop her.
Seeing that he had fallen into a trap, Zhu Jinyuan said lightly: "I hope you keep your word. Father, and all the clan elders, you must have heard what my second brother Zhu Jinkun said. I hope he keeps his word. Not half a step into Zuixiao Tower."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and even Zhu Jinkun noticed something unusual.
But Zhu Jinyuan didn't give him this chance at all, and said directly: "Shopkeeper, please bring out the new food from Zuixiaolou."
Cocoa was something that his stepmother and second brother came here to embarrass him. After all, most people in Cangqin couldn't get used to it.
It's just that Zhu Jinkun has been studying for more than two months, which is interesting, but there are not many people who can taste it, and at most it's a novelty.
Zhu Jinkun and the others didn't believe it, could it be possible that Zhu Jinyuan could make flowers
But when Zuixiaolou really served flowers, everyone couldn't believe it.
Especially Zhu Jinyuan's father, frowning at the dark flower-like dim sum, frowned and said: "It's dark, what is this?"
Zhu Jinyuan said directly: "The one made by Coco is called Liquor Chocolate."
Liquor chocolate? What is this
The name has wine, but so what
How can this thing work with wine? It's impossible, okay
They have already experimented countless times.
Mixing cocoa powder with wine is really not good.
Not even cocoa powder can be kneaded together like flour, how to do that.
Everyone looked at the thing in the shopkeeper's hand, their eyes full of distrust. This thing is dark, can it be eaten
Or cocoa
Although the color of the cocoa tea made is already dark, how come this thing is even darker.
Fearing that they would not dare to eat it, Zhu Jinyuan brought another thing.
White chocolate, dare to eat this thing.
That's right, this is the Bai Qiao made by Su Tang.
Because she discovered it last time, it seems that many people are a little afraid of black chocolate, so they immediately make white chocolate.
This is easier for the people of Cang Qin to accept. Baiqiao means that there is more milk, and the taste of cocoa butter is used to make such chocolate.
And the inside is still Jiuxin, which has the characteristics of their Zuixiaolou.
Sure enough, after Bai Qiao brought it up, everyone showed less resistance.
But what does this have to do with wine
Is it made of wine
Zhu Jinyuan said directly: "You just have to taste it, and you will know what it is. But I also hope that the second brother can fulfill his promise, and leave Zuixiaolou directly after eating."
When he said that, he almost broke his face with his stepmother, not even the last bit of decency.
But what's the use of being decent, it's better to fight with them directly.
The Zhu family is relying on him now, not on this group of people.
In the past, Zhu Jinyuan always forbeared, but Su Tang's words made him enlightened. If he really broke up with the Zhu family, I'm afraid these people will be afraid first.
Blind tolerance will only make these people worse.
When Zhu Jinyuan said that, everyone was surprised and uncertain.
He can say with certainty that this thing is really delicious? He really worked out how to make cocoa powder during this time.
Many people feel sorry, especially the second uncle and aunt's family, they don't really care who is in charge of Zuixiaolou in the Zhu family, as long as they can come to share a share of the pie.
Although they are begging for some errands to do now, Zhu Jinkun said that as long as they help them to take power, they will definitely give them more money.
That's why they came to make a fuss.
Everyone on the field had different thoughts, but they all had smiles on their faces, pretending to be eating chocolate happily.
And they took Bai Qiao at the same time, after all, the dark things really didn't fit their aesthetics.
But as soon as they bit down, they were all stupid.
It has a taste that has never been tasted before. It is delicate, silky, and has a hint of sweetness, but it is not greasy at all. It seems to melt in your mouth immediately.
When you thought it was over like this, the smell of wine in Bai Qiaoxin had already reached your mouth.
It is a specially brewed wine, mixed with the aroma of cocoa, obviously the two things are not integrated, but they echo each other.
So sweet and delicious.
It also makes people feel a little happier after eating.
Liquor chocolate is the food that makes people happy!
After eating one, they didn't feel satisfied no matter what. These people ate up Bai Qiao and looked at Hei Qiao at the same time.
Now they didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately grabbed it and ate it.
This time, the black chocolate has a greater impact on them. If it is white chocolate, it is more sweet and milky.
But the black cocoa is different, and it still has the unique fragrance of cocoa.
It is an indescribable feeling that you will know what kind of happy food it is only after eating it.
These old foxes, after tasting the liqueur chocolate, immediately smiled at Zhu Jinyuan.
Sure enough, Zuixiao Tower is still more suitable in his hands!
Just this kind of food called wine heart chocolate, I am afraid that the whole capital will come to buy it!
Not to mention the novelty of the ingredients, the taste is still excellent.
As for Zhu Jinkun
They all regretted coming over to help Zhu Jinkun speak.
"As expected of Jin Yuan, only you can come up with such a method."
"Zuixiaolou is only suitable for you to manage."
"The family will still rely on you in the future, it's better for others to get out of the way."
Zhu Jinkun and his mother were so angry that they were dying, but there was nothing they could do, who made Zhu Jinyuan really make such a good dim sum.
They just ate it too, which is much better than their cocoa tea with some chili!
Those overseas nobles are really stupid, cocoa beans have been in their hands for so long, why didn't they think of eating like this!
They knew the situation was over and they were ready to leave.
Even Zhu Jinkun's father had an ugly face.
But Zhu Jinyuan stopped them, and said to the relatives on the field: "As we all know, this Zuixiao Tower left to me by my mother has nothing to do with the Zhu family, or with you?"
"I let you work here now, because I think about the face of my relatives, but if you have a next time, I don't know how long the relationship between relatives can last."
It was the first time that Zhu Jinyuan said such harsh words, but everyone couldn't refute him, he was right.
It was indeed the restaurant in his mother's dowry, no one could argue with that.
Even Zhu Jinyuan's father yelled a few words, and dared not say anything else.
Save Zhu Jinyuan from really losing his temper.
After dealing with these matters, Zhu Jinyuan closed his eyes deeply, he was very grateful to Su Tang.
The reason why he can stand here confidently today is because of the two chocolates made by Su Tang, and he even made white chocolates directly to help him promote them better.
This is all with the help of Su Tang.
If something happens to Su Tang in the future, Zui Xiao Lou will pay back for their efforts.
Zhu Jinyuan took a deep breath, and said to his opponent: "When the market opens at noon, put up the menu of wine chocolate, we will be the main push!"
"Good boss! We all listen to you!"
The people below stopped calling Young Master, they all called Master.
Anyway, the young master just said that this is his own shop!
Whoever dares to refute, then don't follow Zuixiaolou to make money!
Zhu Jinyuan has already brought a few chefs who have signed a death contract to learn how to make this recipe, and they are waiting for the chocolate to sell well!
As long as the first copy is sold, they will sell countless copies.
Zhu Jinyuan will also promise to give the portion of the wine heart chocolate to Shangqingguan. Shangqingguan doesn't know yet that a large amount of donations will come soon.
Su Tang studied ice cream at home.
Ice cream is really easy to make, just grasp the time and make the bubbles.
For Su Tang, it can be made very quickly.
But every time he used Bing Jian, Su Tang would always think of Mr. Qi.
I have to say that this ice cream really played a big role here, otherwise she would have to go to Xicheng Restaurant to make ice cream.
You can go there, but it's not as comfortable as her home.
When the Su Tang ice cream was ready, the news of Zui Xiao Lou also came.
Su Tang heard someone talking at the door.
"Zixiaolou made a new snack, I heard it's very delicious."
"That's right, many dignitaries went to buy them, and those who love to drink also bought dozens of them back."
"Dozens? Isn't this thing cheap?"
"Not only is it not cheap? Because the raw materials of this thing are shipped from overseas, it is extremely expensive."
They were listening, and Su Jinhang also came back, and asked his sister curiously: "Sister, what are they talking about?"
Su Tang smiled: "It's just liqueur chocolate."
The alcohol used here is not high, so children can also eat it.
As soon as Zuixiaolou made the first batch, a lot of them were sent to Sutang.
It's just that this thing is not easy to preserve, so the sugar can only be put in the ice cream.
Thinking that Mr. Qi's two ice mirrors were being used by her, Su Tang felt a little troubled.
no.
She also wants to buy ice cream.
Or build a small ice cellar under your small restaurant
But it is estimated to be expensive.
Su Tang was still thinking about these things, and Su Jinhang felt a little awkward: "Sister, when I go to school tomorrow, can I bring some liqueur chocolates? I want to share them with the students."
Of course, Su Tang would not object: "When you go out tomorrow, you can just take some with you."
After finishing speaking, Su Tang said again: "Tomorrow I will find you a gift box, and you bring some puffs and liqueur chocolates to Master."
Recently, she was busy with the restaurant, but she forgot to send some gifts to the wife from time to time.
Something fresh to eat should be missed.
It was rare for Su Tang to enjoy a few days of peace.
Li Fan took good care of Xicheng Restaurant, and she even considered giving him a salary increase.
When the monthly money is distributed tomorrow, I must give some bonuses.
Yes, it's time to pay the monthly money again.
The day before yesterday, I sent money to Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife in the small restaurant.
I'm going to Xicheng Restaurant tonight.
There are currently 30 employees in Xicheng Restaurant, but some of them have been working for less than a month.
Anyway, the time is very complicated, but the accountant has already figured it out, and brought the list yesterday. When these guys joined the job and how long they have been working, it is clearly written, and the monthly payment is also calculated.
In modern terms, this would be a payroll.
After a while, the monthly money will be paid according to this salary slip.
And looking at the total number, there are a total of about ten taels to be sent out.
Some small restaurants don't make so much profit in a month.
A few days ago, Su Tang paid half a year's rent of thirty taels, as well as daily ice consumption and daily mess.
That is to say, the business of Xicheng Restaurant is really good, otherwise it would not be able to sustain it.
When Su Tang took his younger brother to the Xicheng restaurant, the guys inside were even more excited when they saw the owner.
Because they all know it!
Today is pay day.
It's time to get paid!
Can you not be excited!
And according to the monthly money given by the boss, even if it is less than a month, it is still a lot of money.
Anyway, working in Xicheng Restaurant is the best job they have ever done.
Even if he is a bit busy on weekdays, but the owner is not polite, eating on weekdays is just like the guests.
And they do things after they are full, not to mention how comfortable they are.
Even the guys and chefs' clothes they wear every day are made by the owner, three sets for each person, enough to replace.
Many of them are wearing unpatched clothes for the first time.
Even the words Xicheng Restaurant written on the hem of the clothes are more stylish than others.
They went out in the clothes of Xicheng Restaurant, and even the vegetable vendor was much more polite to them.
Who doesn't want to do business with Xicheng Restaurant? The owner gave the money fairly and neatly, as long as it was reasonable, he would never counter-offer.
It would be great if someone could do business with their restaurant.
That must be good for the guys.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Tang felt a little emotional. She could do her best to make everyone's lives better, so why not do it.
She is not one of those black-hearted capitalists.
Obviously, it is best for everyone to make money together.
Su Tang started handing out money in the order of everyone, first handing out some odds and ends, and being a buddy for a short time.
In this way, they still have a lot of money in their hands.
And the dishwashing aunts all said that it was the first time they got so much monthly money.
Usually they just wash vegetables and dishes, and they can chat together, as long as they don't delay their work, the boss doesn't talk about it.
So the kitchen is very kind.
Besides, they also do these things at home, but they can't get so much money.
When it was sent to Li Fan, Hao Quankun and the accountant, Su Tang added another red envelope to them.
The three of them looked at each other and quickly declined.
They've got enough money!
How can I ask for it again!
But what the boss said made them all stunned at the same time.
"A little red envelope is nothing. If you do well, I will give you three dividends at the end of the year."
Dividends
Did they hear correctly
The boss wants to give them dividends for these things
Chapter 52
