Seeing the anxious look of Butler Zhao, Yu Qingze asked, "Butler Zhao, what's the matter?"

The others also looked at Butler Zhao suspiciously.

Butler Zhao said anxiously: "We have a cook. He was originally in charge of making the last peach buns, but he suddenly fainted. His two apprentices only had one skilled hand and couldn't finish it. I really can't find anyone. That's why I came to help you, Boss Yu. Look, have you finished making the dim sum? Can you spare someone to help you make the birthday peach buns?"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that the cook who made the peach buns fainted.

Today, the grandfather of Zhao's house is celebrating his sixty-sixth birthday. This birthday peach bun is indispensable and can be said to be the most important dessert. No matter how good or bad it tastes, the blessings contained in it are of great significance.

If a birthday banquet does not have a birthday peach bun, it will be an incomplete birthday banquet, and it will be regrettable.

No wonder Butler Zhao was so anxious.

Hearing this, Yu Qingze said, "We just made the green body here, and now we are starting to steam, but we have freed up our staff, but it's almost time to start the table, it's too rushed, how can you faint?"

Butler Zhao also sighed, "Isn't it, I can only ask you to think of a way."

Yu Qingze thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the last snack served at the birthday banquet?"

Butler Zhao nodded: "Yes!"

Yu Qingze said: "Then it's almost three quarters to half an hour before the food is served, which is a bit rushed. But we don't have enough ingredients here, and how do you make your longevity buns? Maybe it's different from mine. ."

"The ingredients are in the kitchen. As for the method," Butler Zhao called in a young man outside the door and said, "Quick, tell Boss Yu."

The young man repeated the practice.

Yu Qingze heard that, isn't this just an ordinary bean paste bun with a red dot on it? Even the shape of a peach is also called a longevity peach

He asked, "Are you doing this kind of longevity bag?"

The young man nodded.

Upon hearing this, Butler Zhao immediately asked, "Boss Yu, do you have any other methods?"

Yu Qingze said, "I can look like a longevity peach."

Hearing this, Butler Zhao immediately said: "Oh, Shou Tao is good, Shou Tao is good! Then do it according to your practice! Can you make it in time?"

"I'm in a hurry, let's talk as we walk. Brother Le and Xiaohao, look over here, don't over-steam. Everyone else will make peach buns with me." Yu Qingze arranged things here , and then took the others and followed the housekeeper Zhao.

When they got to the kitchen in the other courtyard, there was another person making noodles. Seeing that Butler Zhao had brought someone, he stopped and waited for Butler Zhao's orders.

"You two, listen to Boss Yu's instructions, do whatever he tells you to do." Butler Zhao immediately said to the two apprentices of the original cook.

"Yes, Butler Zhao." The two replied.

Yu Qingze went in and looked around, and found that the ingredients were all there, the noodles were half mixed, and the red dyed juice was also there, but the green dyed juice for the leaves of the peach was missing. He hurriedly said to Butler Zhao, "Butler Zhao, please look for it. Bring some green vegetables, like spinach, if you want to be able to squeeze out the green juice, there really isn’t any, but you can also get sweet potato leaves.”

"Okay, do you want anything else?" Butler Zhao asked.

"No need for the rest." Yu Qingze said, and Butler Zhao quickly ordered people to prepare.

Afterwards, Yu Qingze asked the two apprentices to continue kneading the noodles, and asked Brother Chang's father and Jiabao to mix and make red bean paste, which was then kneaded into small balls when it cooled. Then he taught Grandpa Chang how to make longevity peach leaves, and taught Brother Chang and him how to make longevity peach.

After a while, Butler Zhao brought people over with a lot of green vegetables. Yu Qingze asked them to wash them, then smashed the leaves to filter the juice, mixed them into the dough and kneaded them into green dough.

A group of people were so busy that they were sweating profusely. Yu Qingze also asked Butler Zhao to let the other dishes be served at a slightly longer interval, so as to delay as much as possible.

In the end, hurry up and hurry up, they finally made the longevity peach buns at the last minute.

"Okay!" Yu Qingze lifted the lid of the steamer, looked at it, and said.

When everyone heard it, they all looked over to the steamer. Chang Le and Chang Hao also came over at this time, and the dim sum over there was already on the table.

Butler Zhao watched with worry and anticipation, feeling uneasy in his heart.

I don't know if this longevity peach bun made by Boss Yu will work

The steaming heat dissipated, and the longevity peach bag revealed its true appearance.

When everyone saw the longevity peach buns in the steamer, they couldn't help but exclaim.

The tip of the peach and a small part below it are pink, like a newly ripened peach, tender and dripping; the shallow groove on the side of the peach below is also alive, and there are two peach leaves at the bottom.

This longevity peach seems to have just been picked from the peach tree in the early morning.

"It really looks like a longevity peach!"

"Wow! It looks like the peaches we eat!"

"Just like the real thing!"

"Wow, brother, look, there are leaves!" This is Chang Hao, who just came here. Neither he nor his brother saw the production process. They didn't know that Yu Qingze and the others also made leaves.

The two apprentices were also dumbfounded. What they made before could not be called Shou Taobao at all, so it was really called 'Shou Taobao'!

Butler Zhao was very excited when he saw it, and kept saying, "Okay! Boss Yu, you have done a great job!"

Yu Qingze said, "Housekeeper Zhao, call someone to serve the food."

Only then did Butler Zhao react, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, hurry, hurry up, serve the longevity peach bun!"

Yu Qingze said: "Brother Le, Brother Chang, come and help. Put a big one in the middle, and ten small ones in a circle on the edge, with the tip of the peach facing the big birthday peach in the middle. In addition, Butler Zhao, Tell them that the biggest one is at the main table, make no mistake."

Brother Le, Brother Chang, and Yu Qingze began to load the plates, and each servant walked to the banquet hall with plates of lifelike longevity peach buns.

On the way, they couldn't help staring at Shou Taobao. They had never seen such a Shou Taobao before, but it was so beautiful. Looking at it, one of the servants almost fell, but fortunately he was pulled by another person, otherwise the plate of longevity peach buns would be gone.

In the birthday banquet hall, everyone exchanged cups, laughed and laughed, and it was very lively.

"It's served! Longevity peach buns! I wish the old man a long life, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen!"

Following the shout of the little servant Chuancai, the servants with longevity peach buns slowly entered.

Longevity peach buns are available at birthday banquets, and many people don't care, they are still drinking and talking, and the little servant's shouting did not attract their attention.

The guests' eyes widened until the servant placed a plate of peach buns that looked like fresh peaches on the table.

"What's this? Are there still peaches this season?"

"It's not Taozi, I saw it clearly, and it's still steaming. Didn't you hear the name of the dish just reported by the servant? It's Shou Taobao! Steamed buns!"

"It's too similar! Look at the ditch on the peach, and the ripe red, and the leaves! What a resemblance!"

"Have a taste!"

"… "

Everyone immediately stretched out their chopsticks, one for each person, and ten small birthday peaches disappeared at once, leaving a big one in the middle.

The next moment, this big birthday peach was taken away by a pair of chopsticks again, and the rest of the people glared at the guy who ate one more!

How are the hands so fast!

On the main table, this table is filled with prominent figures in Tongshan City, representatives of great families.

Grandpa Zhao was very happy when he looked at this longevity peach. Especially looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the other old men, he felt even more proud and felt that Bei'er had a good face.

This kind of longevity peach is still the only one in the entire Tongshan City.

Right at his birthday banquet! Hahaha!

With a smile, he beckoned to the housekeeper and asked, "Zhao An did a good job today, reward!"

Butler Zhao replied quietly in the ear of Mr. Zhao: "Master, this was not done by Zhao An. He fell ill before."

Grandpa Zhao asked in surprise, "Who did that?"

Butler Zhao replied, "It was made by Boss Yu Qingze with his people, the boss who specializes in custom-made dim sum."

"The one that makes the moon cake?" Mrs. Zhao asked.

Butler Zhao nodded: "Yes, it's him!"

Seeing Butler Zhao nodding, Mrs. Zhao happily said, "Those snacks are also very good! All are rewarded!"

"Yes, sir." Butler Zhao replied with a smile.

In the kitchen, Brother Le and the others are also tasting this kind of longevity peach bun. In fact, the taste is the same as the bean paste bun, but it looks good, and it seems to taste particularly delicious.

When Butler Zhao brought people over, he saw that they were eating a longevity peach bun happily.

Butler Zhao said with a smile: "Boss Yu, everyone, thanks to you today, our birthday banquet didn't go wrong. Our grandfather is very satisfied with the longevity peach buns and the dim sum you made, so I came here to thank you. This is too much. Please accept a little bit of your master's thoughts for you."

With that said, Butler Zhao gave each of the crowd a tael of silver, while Yu Qingze's gave a silver ingot.

Everyone knows that this is Mr. Zhao's pleasure, and those who rewarded them all happily thanked them for accepting them.

A coin or two! The crowd is happy!

Chang Hao and Jiabao also had both. The two youngsters looked at the silver in their hands and laughed from ear to ear.

Smiling and smiling, Jiabao suddenly burst into tears.

Chang Hao was right next to him and quickly asked, "Brother Jiabao, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying?"

Jiabao wiped his tears and said, "I'm fine, I'm just too happy."

Several adults knew in their hearts that he must be thinking of him again. They lived too hard before, and they couldn't collect the money for the medicine no matter how much money they made. Now that they got one or two silver coins, he definitely didn't know how to feel.

Chang Le walked over, took out a handkerchief to dry his tears, and gestured.

Chang Hao translated: "My brother told you not to cry, it will get better and better in the future."

Jiabao nodded, wiped away his tears, sucked his nose, and said, "I know, Brother Chang Le, Boss Yu, thank you, thank you very much." After speaking, he gave Yu Qingze another bow.

Yu Qingze patted his head and said, "Don't cry, today is Grandpa Zhao's birthday. It's not good for people in Zhao's house to see it, you know?"

Jiabao nodded and said, "I see, Boss Yu." After speaking, he really controlled his emotions and stopped crying.

After lunch, in the afternoon, they made some snacks for Zhao's afternoon tea. When the dim sum was over, they packed up and got ready to go home.

Yu Qingze checked the amount with Butler Zhao, made an appointment to settle the bill tomorrow, and went home with the group.

In the evening, Yu Qingze went back and settled the bill. It was only Zhao's order this time, after deducting the cost, they made about 32 taels, mainly because the three kinds of snacks made more money.

This does not include the person who made the birthday peach bag for the emergency rescue of the Zhao family later, because he did not know how the Zhao family would calculate the price of the peach peach bag. At that time, things were urgent, and it was not easy to bargain with others. It was probably selling personal favors to Zhao. Government, you can see how they settle the bill.

"Wow! So many! Is it possible to open a small shop?" Chang Hao asked with bright eyes.

Yu Qingze nodded with a smile, and said, "It should be enough to rent a storefront!"

Hearing this, several people laughed happily.
