Hai Mingxian is waiting for this moment!

But when someone asked at the beginning, he said that the other party could make such a cake for him because of friendship, but he didn't want someone to disturb his peaceful life. But in the end, those people patted their chests and promised that they would not disturb the master. At most, after asking the other party to make a cake, Hai Mingxian barely spoke.

"The one who made this pastry was my friend. Originally, he wanted to send a gift when he learned that my grandfather was about to celebrate his birthday, but he didn't know what to give. So after discussion, we decided to send such a big birthday peach together. However, he is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune and is unwilling to show off, so he asked me to deliver it in my own name."

Everyone heard that this person was so indifferent and clear-headed. It would be very difficult to get the Shanghai family line and give Mr. Hai a gift. If he could give a gift, he would want everyone in the world to know that he had a relationship with the Hai family.

But this person doesn't care about these fame and fortune at all. Even after knowing that this cake will amaze everyone, he still chooses to let Hai Mingxian show off.

He is really a master of folk!

But the more this happens, they become more curious!

"Mr. Hai, can you reveal the name of this person? We are just curious and will never disturb you."

Hai Mingxian nodded. This time the person who spoke was also an adult in the court. The other party was a fourth-rank official from Daxia and worked in the Ministry of Works.

"My friend is named Chen Nian. There is a dim sum shop at home, which is the Lu Wanxing dim sum shop written by His Majesty before. There is only a pair of siblings in this shop. The elder sister is gentle and virtuous. Although she is not old, the dim sum skills at home are also inherited from the ancestors. My friend Chen Nian is my younger brother. Although she has just arrived in the capital, her craftsmanship is extremely exquisite and her ideas for making dim sum are also imaginative."

Everyone secretly wrote down the information in their hearts when they heard it, but Li Zhao, who was sitting in the table, suddenly looked stunned.

Is this cake actually made from old?

Didn’t this kid just make Qianguo cake before? Why did he suddenly create such a big longevity peach? And this longevity peach is really delicious!

Especially the white cloud-like thing outside, he had never seen this thing before. It tasted obvious milky, but it was not fishy at all, but it was very sweet and delicate.

But isn't milk liquid? Why does it become like this again?

After thinking for a long time, Li Zhao couldn't figure it out, but in the end he just came to a conclusion: Chen Nian hid his private parts! When he went there, there were some good things that were not taken out.

Thinking of this, Li Zhao planned to wait a while before having a meal and go to Lu Wanxing’s dim sum shop to take a look. After all, Chen Nian said that everyone was friends at the beginning, so why did these friends hide each other?

What's more, Chen Nian was able to get the signature handwritten by Emperor Daxia because of his contribution.

After Hai Mingxian said Chen Nian's name and the name of the snack shop, everyone planned to ask someone to go there to take a look.

But after all, today is Mr. Hai’s birthday, so we still have to distinguish between the main and the secondary. Although I was still full of satisfaction after eating the cake, I had to continue to follow the process of the birthday party.

Soon they started talking about Mr. Hai again.

Chen Nian stood at the door and looked at the disparate expressions of everyone. The smile on his face could not stop. As a result, the servants next to him stood a little further, fearing that Chen Nian would have some serious illness, and the wind would blow up and affect them later.

But at this moment, the servants who had offered their birthday peaches came out and prepared to have dinner together, but as soon as they left the yard, they saw the old woman.

"Master, why are you here? The banquet has begun. Let's take you to dinner!"

Before Chen Nian could agree, the eyes of those people just now were wide open. They looked at the four people coming out of the yard: "What are you talking about? He is a master? What master?"

"What other master can there be? He must be a master of the longevity peach, otherwise what do you think they are here for? Do you think they are the same as you?" They have the same status, so there is no need to be so polite to speak.

"He?" The man was still a little unbelievable, but when he turned to look at Chen Nian, Chen Nian had already started nodding: "Then let's go to have a meal first. After breakfast, I'll have to go back to the store later. There may be more customers in the afternoon, so I have to go back to help."

"Okay, master, let's go quickly. I'll take you to the child's place to sit."

In the end, Chen Nian went to the mat with the messy and unbelievable eyes of those people.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that I have eaten a mat in ancient times.

When I was in Yangzhou, Fu Xin went back to find Xiao Mudan after high school. They did have a meal, but it was mostly common. Nowadays, the real food for such a wealthy family is called a meal.

And Chen Nian could see that they were very particular about this table.

Four dried tangs, four fresh tangs, four candied fruits, three sweet bowls, four snacks, and more than twenty dishes were served first. Four dried tangs refer to black and white melon seeds, walnut dip and sugar almonds, and four fresh tangs refer to apples, peaches, lychees, horse hooves, and four candied fruits refer to green plums, orange cakes, round meat, and melon strips.

There are four cold meats at the back: whole lamb liver, crab legs, white chopped chicken, and fried pork ribs. These are all meat menus, and the finished products are all cold, so they are called four cold meats.

There are also three sweet bowls, which refer to lotus seed porridge, almond tea, and sugar-steamed eight-treasure rice.

As well as hibiscus cake, lama cake, fried stew, fried lantern festival, these four desserts.

Each portion is not large, basically only enough for most people on the table to eat one or two bites. If there is something that they particularly like, the remaining one or two people will eat more.

However, those present are mostly used to eating such noodles, so they naturally know the rules and order, and know that the real good is still there, so they don’t rush to eat enough. At most, they just pick up some favorites to eat for a few bites to make an appetizer.

However, this situation will only occur in guests' banquets. There is no such harmony in the banquets later. Everyone works and has a big appetite. After the meal comes, you can eat whatever you can. When you can't finish the meal, you will grab two more handfuls of melon seeds when you eat them, and eat them slowly when you go back.

Looking at the battle situation on the table next door, Chen Nian found that he was particularly harmonious here.

There were ten people at a table, and the rest of the table besides myself were five children and four little girls.

Each one has a very small appetite. As soon as the previous dishes were old, they could even ask them to eat them all, and then eat them slowly.

The scene is very harmonious.

The girls behind him felt a little embarrassed, and even started to take the initiative to greet Ao Nian and put the delicious meat directly in front of Ao Nian.

There was constant laughter and joy. After chatting for a while, everyone became familiar with each other, the little girls felt that Ao Nian was handsome and had fun talking, so they began to take the initiative to help Ao Nian pick up food.

This way, Ao Nian even saves the effort of moving chopsticks by himself.

The girls here are all maids from Hai Mansion, and they are very good at observing their expressions. After a while, they can see what they like to eat or not.

Gu Xi

The meal was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the life of a young master who was served by a wealthy family.

As a result, the servants around him felt extremely unbalanced, but they didn't know Chen Nian's identity. Just as he was about to come over to inquire and ask, Hai Mingxian suddenly walked in outside, stood at the door and looked around, and found that Chen Nian was chatting and laughing with the little maids, and came straight to the front with big strides.

"How about Brother Chen? Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to add some to you."

"Enough is enough, how can we finish so many dishes?" Chen Nian said.

Hai Mingxian nodded, then looked at the maids on the table: "You guys have arranged him, this is my brother. If you want to eat, just pick it up. If you don't have enough food, go to the kitchen to pick it up, and say it's what I said." After that, he turned his attention to the children: "If you have anything you want to eat, just take it yourself, don't yell, do you know?"

"I know." Those children are all children from the family. Although they are not old, they are destined to be present to the current people of the Hai family when they grow up. Therefore, they have been instilled since childhood that they must listen to the Hai family no matter what.

Hearing Hai Mingxian say this, they quickly replied.

"It's okay, these are things that the children can't eat much, and these children are all very good. Don't talk like that and scare them."

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen said, then Brother Chen, you eat here first. I have something to do. If you have anything, just go to me in front or ask someone to go to the front and tell me."

"No problem, I'm here to Mr. Hai."

Then Hai Mingxian left, and the others were stunned.

He immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking for trouble for Chen Nian. He is a brother to the third son of the Hai family. He is still asking for trouble for others and doesn’t want to live anymore?

No wonder this guy was arranged to sit with women and children, this is related to the background!

Forget it, it’s better to just focus on it and eat more than you can.

After that, the maids took care of Chen Nian and tried their best.

...

After the banquet, Chen Nian asked someone to bring a message to Hai Mingxian and said that he had gone back, and then left Hai Mansion.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an City, the sun is shining brightly and warmly shining on your body. Even though this is the north, the weather gradually becomes hotter in April and May.

The surrounding shops have been negotiated, with a total of two yards, which cost more than 600 taels of silver, and the rest will have to be used for decoration.

However, even if they bought it, they only used it to make workshops, so there is not much change, so the decoration is just a simple decoration.

And now the cream can be made, and the production method is not difficult. There are special machines for olive oil. Although it is a little rougher, it can be used.

Just walking back to the store, Lu Kezheng sat bored at the counter. The snacks in the store were ready. She also took a bite at noon, and now she was waiting for customers to come to buy them.

"I'm back." Lu Ke said with a smile.

"yes."

"How is the food? Is it lively there?" Lu Ke asked again.

"The food is pretty good. There are a lot of people, and most of them are officials. However, there should be many people coming here in the afternoon. We will be more busy these days."

"It's better to be busy, and make more money by busy. Then I'll buy you a big yard in the capital so that you can live in it."

"No, just keep the money for me. I have no interest in making money."

"Look at what you said, it's useless for me to ask for so much money. I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy in this life and witnessed everything I should see. In addition to not having children of my own, but when you get married, my sister can help you take care of the children." Lu Ke said with longing.

Seeing this, Chen Nian sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, many people from Haifu came directly to Lu Wanxing's dim sum shop. When they looked up at the door of the store, they saw His Majesty's imperial pen plaque, and then looked at the two siblings in the store.

Then he walked in and started asking about the longevity peach. Chen Nian said that the longevity peach needs to be booked in advance and the price is not cheap.

They all said that the reservation was fine and the price was fine.

Then after asking for a while, I found that the popular Qianguocake on the market is actually from this store, and in two days they will launch a pastry wrapped in cream.

Everyone expressed their expectations. After all, they had already eaten cream at the birthday party. If they could eat some in normal times and don’t have to buy that big one, it would be the best.

Of course, some people like to eat sweets, while others plan to buy them for their wives, concubines, children, etc.

But what Chen Nian didn't expect was that Li Zhao also came in the afternoon. When the other party came, he asked Chen Nian why he made the butter cake. He basically came here once every two or three days, but he didn't know.

"Don't you treat me as a friend?"

"How could I do this? It's just that this cake is made and it is not sold to the public. If you want it, you have to book it in advance. And that way, I can't help in the store for at least one morning."

When Li Zhao heard this, he saw that Chen Nian was not like a false statement.

"But after you made a splash in Haifu today, there must be many people planning to recruit you and ask me to tell you to go to my place, otherwise those with identities will come over and if you refuse, their faces may not look very good, and they will inevitably target you."

But Chen Nian was prepared for this: "I'm sorry, I've been bothering you, but I've already negotiated a cooperation with Lord Fu Xin and Mr. Fu. Now I have bought the shops on both sides. Then Lord Fu will send some people to my side to study and help and occupy some shares."

After hearing this, Li Zhao sighed helplessly, thinking that it was indeed the relationship between them. It seemed that he was still one step late, so he bought some thousand fruit cakes and went back.

In this way, people came one after another, and at night there were fewer people coming to ask, and it was time for old people to sell snacks.

There are still many people queuing outside.

They just waited until all the snacks were sold out before they closed.
Chapter completed!
