Su Tang went around the dessert shop carefully again. It was Sun Qiaoshan who led her around and told many details.
Only now does Su Tang feel like she and someone have opened a store together
Originally, Su Tang thought that she was just creating a technique, but Sun Qiaoshan's current attitude is obviously the cooperation between the two of them.
In Su Tang's previous cognition, she thought that a lady from such a wealthy family would not be so approachable, but Sun Qiaoshan made her change a lot.
In this case, Su Tang also came up with a lot of ideas sincerely.
For example, there are more dessert decorations in the dessert shop, and some details can be further optimized.
But Su Tang asked again: "Is it possible to supply it in time? I heard from Zuixiaolou that the newly sailed big ship will take more than three months to return. This is all under the condition of favorable wind."
Sun Qiaoshan couldn't answer this question.
Qi Tianyun said: "It's ok, your store doesn't follow the quantity, but the price."
price
Su Tang knew that the items in this store would be very expensive, but after seeing the menu, he still took a deep breath.
Damn, even though they are all in the capital city, the price difference between the west city and the east city can be so far!
Qi Tianyun laughed and said: "The merchants in this street are famous and inherited merchants, so the prices are naturally quite expensive, and your store is actually a bit higher than the prices in other places."
Good guy, this is a leek for the rich.
But think about it, desserts are actually about quality.
Now sugar, milk, and cocoa powder are all scarce things, so they can naturally be sold at high prices.
Of course, there is one more important point.
That is to pack this store in a very high-end and tasteful way.
Entering is a symbol of honor and wealth. In that case, even if a dim sum sells for ten taels of silver, someone will buy it.
Although Su Tang knew it in his heart, when he saw the price, he still couldn't help but asked, "A small piece of tiramisu costs three taels of silver. Is there anyone really buying it?"
"Yes, and there are a lot of them." Qi Tianyun said lightly, "Except for the puffs you made, other things are almost at this price."
There is also milk tea, a cup of the most basic milk tea is five coins.
Is this milk tea? This is drinking money.
But Su Tang can understand why it is expensive to sell, the materials, the location of the store, and the people it caters to, it is destined to be a high-end store.
Su Tang took a deep breath: "How about I teach you how to make milk tea? It can make the milk tea smoother and the price will be more beautiful."
Sun Qiaoshan's eyes lit up first: "Okay! Can I try it first?"
"Yes." Su Tang said, "There are also some desserts. In fact, we can use glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice flour cakes, which are also delicious."
The most famous dessert made of glutinous rice flour is Xuemei Niang, which has a soft and delicate skin and a lingering chewy texture.
The delicious Xue Mei Niang will make everyone unable to resist eating more.
If you add ice cream to Xuemei Niang.
That taste, absolutely.
Qi Tianyun reminded from the side: "Serve new desserts slowly, you don't have to roll them out all at once."
Su Tang looked at him and couldn't help but said, "If you are in business, you must be a profiteer."
Sun Qiaoshan laughed outright, showing admiration to Su Tang: "Sister Su, you are the most courageous person I have ever seen!"
She doesn't even dare to say that about Lord Hou, okay
Although the emperor's elder brother said that there is no need to be afraid of Weiyuanhou, Weiyuanhou looks scary.
At the suggestion of Qi Tianyun and Su Tang one afternoon.
The dessert shop is getting bigger and bigger, and before it even opens, Su Tang can smell silver.
Tsk tsk, sure enough, this kind of high-end store is huge profits.
Everyone is looking forward to this store.
Then it was time to come up with a name for the dessert shop.
Sun Qiaoshan said directly: "I've thought about it a long time ago! It's called Tangtang Pavilion!"
Tang Tang Pavilion, what name is this
Su Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Forget it, I don't really want to use my name as the name of the shop."
Otherwise, nothing would have such a name as an early shop or Xicheng Restaurant.
She is best suited to be a salted fish!
Forget about the chance to be famous.
That being the case, Sun Qiaoshan can't force it.
But Qi Tianyun looked at Su Tang again.
Seeing this, Su Tang was all hairy, and felt that something was wrong.
But in front of Sun Qiaoshan, Qi Tianyun didn't say anything.
When Su Tang and Sun Qiaoshan decide on the name of the store and go to order people to do things.
Qi Tianyun finally found an opportunity, and whispered in Su Tang's ear: "Actually, Tangtang is pretty good, what do you think?"
?
What the hell? ?
Qi Tianyun continued: "You're right, Tangtang."
?
Sugar Man is stupid!
Why is there such a person!
Fortunately, Sun Qiaoshan came back soon, and said happily: "In the future, our Mengjing Pavilion business will be very good! I can also eat a lot of desserts!"
Su Tang agreed deeply: "Yes, I don't have to do it myself anymore, and I can have dessert anytime."
Su Tang and Sun Qiaoshan looked at each other.
Good guy, the two of them opened a dessert shop just to eat delicious food!
Can!
Don't just open it, the store will be ruined by the two of them!
These things are settled.
Next is the most important part.
That's the menu!
Although the three chefs in Mengjing Pavilion have already learned how to make seven or eight kinds of desserts and four or five kinds of milk teas, they will definitely not launch so many desserts at first, and people will look forward to it only by introducing them little by little.
It's the best kind. Let's make a preview on the 15th of this month, and there will be new products released on the 15th of next month.
Then countless wealthy nobles in the capital lined up to buy it.
That's what makes it interesting.
This idea only flashed in Su Tang's mind for a second, but he didn't expect it to come true in the future, and Su Tang didn't expect it.
But this is after the opening, she now has to finalize the product list!
First of all, the list of Mengjing Pavilion is divided into dream list and scene list.
Dream list is dessert.
The bill of lading is the drink.
Why such a name? To look taller, of course.
Do you even need to ask
Qi Tianyun didn't expect that Su Tang could make such high-quality and cheap menus in Xicheng Restaurant very easily, and it was even more convenient to make such fancy menus.
Is not this nonsensical!
In modern times, who hasn't been to an Internet celebrity restaurant or an Internet celebrity milk tea shop to eat and drink!
Haven't been there or seen it.
Su Tang is the most proficient in these things.
First of all, there are only three kinds of desserts.
Tiramisu, Wangyou cake, and cream puffs with tea.
There are two kinds of drinks.
One is milk tea with taro balls added, and the other is plain milk tea.
In the eyes of many modern people, such a list may be too simple, but this is the ancient times when desserts just appeared. After everyone gradually gets used to these cakes, desserts such as Xue Mei Niang will be slowly introduced.
As for why tiramisu was chosen, and the name was not changed at all.
That's because Su Tang decided to tell the story of tiramisu!
Delicious food, of course, must be accompanied by a good story. This story that can make a lot of tears in modern times must also be possible in ancient times.
Many people know the story of tiramisu. It was a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield saying goodbye to his wife. At that time, there was basically nothing to eat at home.
For the safety and smoothness of her husband's journey, the wife worked hard and used all the materials available at home.
So I made this kind of pastry, with a layer of biscuits sandwiched between the soft and glutinous pastry. This is the deep love of the wife, and she hopes to give all the good things in the house to her husband.
Every time the soldier eats tiramisu, he thinks of his beloved wife.
The meaning of tiramisu means "take me away, I love you" in their language.
When Su Tang told this story, Sun Qiaoshan and the maidservants standing behind her were tearing up, almost crying.
Sun Qiaoshan cried: "Sister Su, did that soldier go home at last? Did he take his wife away?"
In fact, Su Tang also remembered the follow-up, but everyone cried at this meeting, so he had to say: "He returned to his hometown safely and lived happily with his wife."
After saying this, the atmosphere at the scene was visibly relaxed.
"That's great, just go home." Sun Qiaoshan rubbed her tears, "I must eat more tiramisu, but sister Su, what language does tiramisu speak?"
this.
Of course it is Italy.
But in this time and space, China doesn't even exist, and Italy certainly doesn't.
Su Tang had no choice but to say: "I don't know, I just heard this story at the time."
They were talking here, and Su Tang said to the maid in the shop: "Everyone must remember this story. If a customer asks why the name of this pastry is so strange, you must remember to answer."
This will increase customer stickiness.
Who doesn't like a sad and romantic story inside a delicious pastry
Qi Tianyun kept listening, with deep meaning in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Su Tang's introduction of the second dessert.
That is Wangyou Cake.
In fact, it is the practice of rum cake.
Rum is the name of the wine, and Wangyou is also the name of the wine. Wangyou wine is used instead of rum, and the name is also changed to their own.
As for the name Wangyou, it is better explained, because the taste of this cake is soft and healing, after eating, it can make people forget worry.
listen.
What a great means of packaging.
Qi Tianyun listened beside him, already admiring him.
As for milk tea, I don’t need to introduce too much. Cangqin also has places where milk tea is drunk. For example, in the border areas, there are herdsmen who drink milk tea and eat butter. In fact, they are all similar.
However, threose sugar is more suitable for the public's taste according to the modern improved method.
Needless to say, the puffs with tea.
Su Tang intends to promote puffs as a classic of Mengjing Pavilion, as long as you come to drink milk tea, you must order a puff.
So puffs are also the cheapest food here. You can buy a small dish for one penny.
The price is really not low.
You should know that with one puff and five Wen, you can have a box lunch with two meat and two vegetables in Xicheng Restaurant!
Even if the price gap between the two sides is very large, this is exaggerated enough.
But there is no way, who made sugar and milk rare, this cannot be changed for the time being.
And it was packaged very tall.
The remaining dessert, Wangyou Cake, costs one tael of silver.
Tiramisu, two taels of silver a piece.
Original milk tea, five coins and a small pot.
Taro ball milk tea, seven qian silver in a small pot.
The small pot here is basically the amount for one person.
If you want to eat here, it is definitely impossible, just a refreshment.
But Qi Tianyun, Su Tang, and Sun Qiaoshan didn't doubt the spending power of Dongcheng people.
Those rich and powerful families still have money to eat this little food.
Once the list is finalized, Sun Qiaoshan will find someone to design it.
The rest is easy.
Su Tang calculated the time and found that it was open for business.
As expected of a capable lady Shangshu, if it were an ordinary person, she would definitely not be able to drive so fast.
Su Tang didn't know, in fact, the emperor subsidized Sun Qiaoshan with some money, and even allocated people from the palace to use it for her, that's why the progress was so fast.
But in this way, even if Sun Qiaoshan didn't say anything, the famous families in the capital would know that the future empress opened a shop, and the signboard looked fresh and elegant from the outside, but they didn't know what it was for.
No matter what you do, it's right to join in the opening when the time comes.
This is the thinking of those rich and nobles in the capital.
The matter of Mengjing Pavilion was finally settled, and Su Jinhang was also full of desserts.
To put it bluntly, in fact, he is not that keen on desserts anymore. There is no way, if your family has a sister who can cook everything, you will also think that the desserts in this shop are not interesting.
Su Tang left, and Sun Qiaoshan continued to find someone to decorate the Dreamland Pavilion.
Originally, Su Tang wanted to help, but seeing Sun Qiaoshan yelling and hugging, she didn't need to intervene at all, and let alone Sun Qiaoshan's young age, she was raised as a future queen since she was a child, and she is already very sensible.
I can only feel that children in ancient times were precocious.
Just as Su Tang said her farewell, she saw Qi Tianyun still standing beside her, subconsciously glanced at him, and then wanted to slip away.
But how could Qi Tianyun give her this chance, Qi Tianyun looked at her and said: "The east city is far from the west city, how do you go home?"
"Hire a carriage." Su Tang said immediately.
Qi Tianyun pointed to his carriage: "You hired me?"
?
No need!
she has money! You can hire yourself!
But Qi Tianyun continued: "I still need to discuss with you about the Mengjing Pavilion."
Since it is a business, Su Tang will not refuse.
And she actually had something to say.
Guard Li in front said to Su Jinhang: "Do you want to ride a horse, Xiaohang? I'll take you with me?"
Su Jinhang looked at his sister, then at the horse.
Su Tang knew that he wanted to drive Xiaohang away, so he nodded, "Go ride the horse, and return to the car in a while."
For a while, only Su Tang and Qi Tianyun were left in the carriage.
It was the first time they were so close, Su Tang inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
Qi Tianyun seemed to have found out, and in order to relieve Su Tang's nervousness, he directly chatted about the business: "What I want to tell is your story."
"The story of tiramisu?" Su Tang wondered.
"Well, I want to change the soldiers inside to Cangqin soldiers, and his wife is a woman from Cangqin." Qi Tianyun thought for a while, "Let's put them in Yungui. As for the language, let's say that. It’s the dialect of their hometown, and the translation is these words, the language has been lost, and there is no way to verify it.”
"As for the husband, it should be changed that he disappeared on the battlefield, and the wife never waited for him again."
?
Good guy, the Italian transliteration has suddenly become an unverifiable native dialect!
And the happy ending, turned into a tragic ending? ?
If you write novels, you will definitely be sent a blade!
Good for you!
These things don't matter at all, and Su Tang's telling the story is just to increase the stickiness of customers.
And sad stories are easier to remember.
She just needs to tell everyone that she coaxed everyone into the previous ending, and that this is the real ending.
Su Tang nodded: "It's okay, just talk to the buddies and maids in Mengjing Pavilion."
But suddenly changed to this, why
Is it because of soldiers? Or is it about the war
This kind of story is the most inspiring, and it is also a very anti-war story.
What is Qi Tianyun going to do with such a story
Su Tang was subconsciously alert.
Qi Tianyun suddenly said: "Don't think too much, Cangqin will live in peace and prosperity."
Su Tang's heart immediately settled down.
Don't look at her business is booming now, if you want seafood, you can have seafood, and if you want cocoa thousands of miles away, you can also have cocoa.
Maybe we can get coffee, potatoes, corn, cotton in the future.
This is all because the Cangqin Kingdom is very stable, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
If these guarantees are lost.
She is still in business? She should hurry up and have a good pregnancy.
"Well, as long as there is no harm, change it." Su Tang said directly.
Qi Tianyun's eyes were deep, and just when Su Tang was about to call Su Jinhang back, Qi Tianyun said abruptly: "You are very sharp, some officials who have been in the officialdom are not as far ahead as you."
I just want to change the story, and Su Tang can immediately sense something.
This sharpness is really amazing.
Su Tang pretended not to understand: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"What I mean is, you are more powerful than I imagined." Qi Tianyun raised the curtain of the car to let Su Tang look over, "If you can make the whole Cangqin Kingdom like this, what do you think?"
That is of course very good.
Needless to say!
The entire Cangqin Kingdom has developed in the same way as Dongcheng.
Honey, then it's not a dream for her to go to sea by boat, is it
Seeing the excitement on Su Tang's face, Qi Tianyun said in a low voice, "But it's not easy. The West City, which is also in the capital, is a different scene, and the borderlands are even more unimaginable. I fought there for two years, and the people there , I dream of living the life of the Upper West Side."
"At that time, there was a mother who had no milk and no water, so she let the baby drink blood. When I saw her, she was dead, and the baby was also dead. At that time, I was thinking, if she could have a bite to eat Yes, will it last until we find her?"
"But she didn't make it." Qi Tianyun said calmly, "There are countless people like this in Cangqin, and there are also countless mothers and children like this. What they ask for is just one meal."
Su Tang frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.
She had never heard of such a thing, and couldn't help asking: "Is the border so bitter?"
"Well." Qi Tianyun said, "There are barbarians harassing there all the year round, such things are normal. However, it will get better and better."
Su Tang nodded fiercely, and suddenly understood why Qi Tianyun wanted to change that story.
He must have heard that the story seemed to be about love, but it was actually an anti-war story.
Without that war, the husband and wife would not be separated, let alone such a sad ending.
The last "take me away" did not take away after all.
Who doesn't scold a warfighter in his heart after listening to it!
Amazing, Qi Tianyun would actually take advantage of public opinion.
And it can also predict the reaction that this story will bring to people in advance.
Su Tang was a little afraid of him!
After saying this, Qi Tianyun looked at Su Tang again: "Tangtang is also very good. If it weren't for you, the living standards of many people in Xicheng would not have improved."
?
What the hell is Tangtang.
Su Tang immediately said: "Don't shout!"
"No yelling." Qi Tianyun said with a smile, "Isn't it nice to yell like Tangtang?"
Su Tang hurriedly said to the guard Li outside: "Xiaohang, come and take the carriage, we will be home in a while!"
Su Jinhang must sit in the carriage before arriving home.
Otherwise, what would happen if she and Qi Tianyun were alone in the carriage!
Qi Tianyun didn't stop him, his eyes were still on Su Tang, and he didn't hide it.
Seeing this, Su Tang directly turned the scarred side to Qi Tianyun.
Let you see let you see!
Look at the scars she painted!
Qi Tianyun clicked his tongue: "It's also pretty."
?
There is such a person
When Su Jinhang came in, he felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
But Su Tang grabbed him and let him sit between Qi Tianyun and himself, to cut off the look!
go home go home.
Ignore this stinky rogue!
In the next few days, there was no news from Xicheng, but many people in Dongcheng knew about it.
That is the daughter-in-law of the Shangshu family of the household department, who is also the emperor's fiancée, opened a dim sum shop, which will open in a few days.
Regardless of whether the opening is good or not, they must go to join in the show.
So all kinds of news about this store slowly spread.
What sells puffs made of sugar, and a whole piece of transparent glass.
There are also exquisite snacks.
It seems that they are still cooperating with Su Tang.
Many people have doubts in their hearts, does the name Su Tang appear too frequently
But soon these people knew that Su Tang's name would accompany the capital for many years until it became famous overseas.
But now, most of them are going to have a try in the name of the future queen.
Just as everyone expected.
Dream Pavilion finally opened.
The opening time is on July 2nd, which is an extremely auspicious day, so I just need to ask Si Tianjian to do it himself.
It happened to be three days after the God of Cooking Competition, so it was just right for the opening.
When it opened, Su Tang was sitting in the box, with Su Jinhang beside him.
Su Tang looked at the exquisite patterns everywhere, as well as the soft and beautiful carpet.
Is it really like coming to a dream
She actually opened a dessert shop with the little girl
Su Jinhang whispered: "Sister, did you really drive this?"
Su Tang also wanted to ask, did I really open it
no!
She just provided ideas and recipes!
This time, the gorgeousness of the store has directly risen to another level.
So delicate, so beautiful.
Even the patterns she randomly drew were printed on soft tissue paper.
Yes, soft paper towels were used here at Su Tang's suggestion.
There are ancient technologies, but no one has thought of using writing paper to make rags. After all, it is too wasteful and expensive.
But this is Dreamland Pavilion!
Come to Mengjing Pavilion, are you still worried about waste and cost
Don't even think about it, the ladies and gentlemen who come here to eat don't even dare to ask the price, for fear of showing cowardice if they ask.
Sun Qiaoshan, who was opposite Su Tang, said, "Sister Su, I will follow what you said. On the first day, only 20 people are allowed to come in by appointment, and they must be people with noble status and prominent family background. The rest will be rejected." It's outside."
Su Tang nodded: "This is the way to do it, first raise the grade, and then take it slowly."
With Sun Qiaoshan to screen, the guests who can enter the Dreamland Pavilion on the first day are, at least, the households of second-rank senior officials, which is the lowest.
There is also an appointment for the Earl's Mansion, and the appointment is until the day after tomorrow.
As soon as such a system came out, some households became angry.
They are decent anyway, why are they not allowed to enter on the first day
But as soon as I inquired.
Good guy, there are a total of 21 people who can enter the Dreamland Pavilion on the first day, and they belong to seven families.
What is the wife of the duke's mansion and the first lady.
There is also the wife and son of the cabinet scholar.
The second-rank official with the lowest official position, he used to be the prince and Taifu, okay, he brought his wife and grandchildren to enjoy it together.
Which of these households is not famous.
In other words, they could enter the Dream Pavilion on the first day.
At this time, the Duke's wife sat in one of the boxes and looked down indifferently.
It's great that she can sit in the box. Didn't you see that everyone in the Hou Mansion sat on the first floor
The lady of the Duke's family couldn't help but said: "Mother, Sun Qiaoshan didn't show up, so how can I be sure she drove it?"
Mrs. Duke pointed to the colored glaze on the display stand below: "See, this was given to the Sun family by the former empress. It is naturally the store opened by the future empress for fun. The emperor's respect for the Hubu Shangshu's family. Everyone can see her attitude, Sun Qiaoshan will definitely be a queen in the future, and no one in the capital is eager to curry favor with her."
"Don't look at the fact that this item is not cheap. People who want to buy it are queuing up."
Miss Guogong sighed: "I hope the food is not bad."
Anyway, her family is not short of money, so she ordered everything and tried it first.
As for the others, they thought about the same as the Duke's family.
Just try it, it's a compliment.
But after taking a sip, there seems to be something wrong!
Surprisingly delicious
wrong.
Not delicious.
It is very delicious, this silky texture, the taste of dreams.
Sweet but not greasy, smooth and delicate.
The taste of this Wangyou cake is just like its name, Wangyou, so delicious that it can make people forget their worries!
Mrs. Guogong and Miss Guogong were shocked by this taste that they had never experienced before.
Human beings' love for sweets is engraved in genes.
Su Tang has seen people who don't like sugar very much, but rarely see people who refuse desserts.
Especially the cake made with good milk, the taste is as soft as a dream.
This is also the origin of the name of their dessert shop.
People who want to eat Mengjinge desserts will always be sweet and wonderful like swimming in a dream.
These twenty guests instantly understood what Mengjing Pavilion meant!
Really worthy of the name
