Chapter Forty Two Hundred Two
On another plate was filled with a plate of white pastries. It did not have the oily aroma of lotus crispy, but it had the fragrance of the food itself and the faint sweet fragrance was so irritating that it was hard to try it.
Xu Shaoyan stared at the plate and the pastries on the plate. He saw that it was as white as jade, cut into pieces, with a thin hole like a needle, and a faint fresh fragrance came to his nose.
Xu Shaoyan took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, for fear of diluting the flawless pastry.
He raised his hand and picked up a piece, his fingertips sank on the pastry, and his eyes widened: "This, this pastry is so loose!"
I sent it to my mouth, took a bite, it was soft and sweet, and tasted it carefully. It was sweet but not greasy, and it was not sticky but just right for his taste.
“What kind of pastry is this?”
Seeing that he was satisfied, Su Qingma smiled and said, "This is a white jade cake, and there is also a name called Nianfa cake, which means every year and every year to grow high."
"Baiyu Cake? Nianfa Cake? Well, both names sound good. That plate just now is lotus crispy?"
Su Qingma nodded.
Xu Shaoyan also ate two white jade cakes. Seeing that the fat shopkeeper next to him stared at the pastry, she asked her to take them down and eat them with the chef.
The fat shopkeeper happily took it and left, and his fat body walked quickly.
Xu Shaoyan tapped his fingers on the table, his mind spinning rapidly.
Su Qingtai looked at him and said, "Xu Dongjia also saw that the two kinds of pastries use different techniques. Let's talk about white jade cake first. The fermentation process is used to make the dough loose and the pastries made are soft and delicious, and are most suitable for the elderly and children to eat. This process can make a variety of pastries, similar to white jade cakes, which can be made of hair cakes, date cakes, chicken cakes, etc.."
"The lotus crispy process is complicated. I used oil pastry and several different doughs inside, and finally fryed. After kneading the grease in the dough, some pastries on your shop are also heavy oil, but none of them are so good and so many layers. And they can be kneaded into a variety of colors, and they will not fade during the frying process, and they will not fade. I think you have very few varieties of this kind of pastry."
Seeing that he was silent, he said, "Actually, I would rather sell you another kind of baked snack. This baking process makes the dessert shaped, it will not break if it is left for a long time, and it will not dissipate if it is left for a long time. It can be made from a long way, sweet and salty, or compound flavors. But you don't have the tools."
"What tools do you want?" Xu Shaoyan asked.
"Stove, oven, or oven."
“We can make the stove.”
Su Qingtai smiled and said, "That's another thing. Today we will only talk about the craftsmanship of lotus crisps and white jade cake. In addition to lotus crisps, there is also a kind of swan crisps, which is made into a swan singing with its neck. The feathers bloom layer by layer, and they are about to fly, exquisite and beautiful, and have a better taste. These two things should help you enter the high-end market."
Xu Shaoyan was very interested and leaned over and asked, "How to make swan crisp?"
Su Qingma smiled faintly: "Today we will only talk about lotus crisps and white jade cake."
Xu Shaoyan glanced at her: "I want lotus crisps and white jade cakes, and I want the baking craftsmanship and swan crisps you mentioned."
"That depends on how much money Xu Dong's family can pay."
"How much money do you want?"
"It's not how much I want, it's how much Xu Dongjia can give."
Xu Shaoyan looked at Su Qingtai steadily, feeling that the woman in front of him was well versed in negotiation skills. He couldn't help but knock on the table again, and he thought about it in his heart...
Su Qingma slowly picked up the tea and drank it. She was not in a hurry, the other party was more anxious than her. If he really wanted it.
Xu Shaoyan felt that the woman in front of him should have more than these things in her belly. After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't Miss Su invest in Jixiang Shop and give her suggestions on the shop's pastries? If there is any new product, you can also teach the masters to make it, and you can get a dividend of silver in a season or six months a year?"
Su Qingma smiled and shook her head.
The dividend is too unsafe, and she can't see the account book, and she doesn't know whether it is true or not. The other party has the final say on how much profit is. Once the other party closes the door and changes the name of the store and the person in charge, who will she ask for to reason?
When will ordinary people compete with high-ranking players for strength and connections?
It is more important to put the bag in order to ensure security.
Both sides can also leave a good impression and meet each other in the future. When it comes to money, if there is any unpleasantness in the subsequent dividends, it will not be worth the loss.
He said to the other party: "No, I don't have much idea, I just want to be safe and peaceful, just be a fair wife."
Xu Shaoyan looked at her with some surprise, and felt that this woman was not simple. After thinking about it, he said, "That one hundred and fifty taels. Let's teach us the baking process."
Su Qingtai shook her head: "Two hundred taels. Two more classic baked snacks are included."
Xu Shaoyan smiled and shook his head.
The women from this countryside don’t know how many 200 taels are. One hundred acres of fertile land, even if the year is good, there are less than 200 taels left.
Su Qingma saw that he seemed to be smiling, and was not afraid, and said, "Two hundred taels, I will teach you the swan crisps, and I will give you two more gadgets, separating egg whites, and stirring eggs and dough."
Seeing Xu Shaoyan looking over, he said with a smile: "With these two tools in your kitchen, you can save a lot of time for the pastry chefs. Not only can the amount of cakes be increased, but it can also save a lot of labor costs."
This woman actually knows how to manage. Xu Shaoyan tapped her fingers again, frowned for thinking, and nodded: "Yes. But you promise to only pass on our Jixiang family."
Su Qingma also nodded: "I promise."
Xu Shaoyan looked at her steadily, feeling that this woman could not see through. She was obviously a poor woman in the countryside, but it also made people feel that there was a gap in her heart. He guessed that she should not only know these things in front of her. If she made a good relationship, she might have surprises in the future.
After thinking it through, the two quickly made an agreement.
Seeing Su Qingma's handwriting was straight, she couldn't help but look up at her. This woman was literate! And the terms of the agreement could be said a little bit. As expected, we can't underestimate it.
Finally, Su Qingma asked for some small amount of silver notes. Xu Shaoyan had investigated her before, but thought that she must have given her small amount of silver notes to her husband who went to Zheng, so she couldn't help but look up to her again.
The two made an appointment with the master of Pingchuan County to come tomorrow and asked Su Qingma to come and teach. Su Qingma responded and turned around and left.
She didn't expect Xu Shaoyan to be so happy and gave two hundred taels at once. It was far higher than her expectations, which made her unexpected.
Originally, she thought that if the other party didn't give that much money, she would prepare to teach the other party how to refine food color. The pastries in his shop were single in color and should be used to refine plants, but the craftsmanship was simple, so they should just use food to refine food, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But she didn't expect that the other party gave her two hundred taels readily, which surprised her.
Su Qingma carved the silver notes and walked towards the street alone.
I walked along the way and saw where there were rented shops. I finished looking at several main streets, and also looked at the side streets and the slightly off-the-spots. Until I walked like I was filled with lead, I found a tea shop and ordered a pot of tea and ordered a plate of snacks. I sat and rested.
I was thinking about how to distribute the 200 taels of silver.
One hundred taels were taken away by Lu Bocheng, and the other hundred taels she wanted to find a shop to do some small business. Su Qingma has never lived a life based on people's faces. It is absolutely impossible to ask her and her in-laws to reach out to get money to spend it.
She likes twins very much. Both of them are six years old and still don’t know big words. Xiao Qingyang is very spiritual. She is planning to send him to study for a few years. If he has talent, he will get a good fortune in the future. Even a scholar can avoid the fate of going to the battlefield.
If Su Qingsong cannot come back, only Xiao Qingyang will be left. If Xiao Qingyang will also go to the battlefield to make a fortune in the future...their big room cannot disappear, but look at the prosperous generation of step-grandmother, right? Thinking that Xiao Qingyang may have a different body in the future...
Su Qingma shivered. No!
Such a sensible and cute child cannot let him have such a fate in the end. He must send him to study.
As for Lu Bocheng... Well, I'll go to the blacksmith shop later to see if there is any protective thing.
