It just so happened that Dong Wen sent a lot of wild honey today. Although Dong Qian hadn't decided what to do yet, she felt very fulfilled with the idea in her heart.

Qin Hao had already fallen asleep, and Dong Qian had no choice but to call Qin Han and ask him to take Qin Hao back first.

Dong Qian was the last one to leave the restaurant after everything in the restaurant was settled.

Since we are going to put the soothing pastries in the gift box, the contents of the gift box need to be reset.

The next day, Dong Qian came to Qinghe's shop without stopping and told him her thoughts.

"This gift box is divided into two layers, upper and lower, and is made like a drawer." Dong Qian planned to put duck eggs on the upper layer and snacks on the lower layer.

Qinghe could understand Dong Qian's meaning instantly, but the two of them continued to discuss some details for a long time, and soon Qinghe made a simplified version.

After reading it, Dong Qian nodded repeatedly, "This is what I want, but isn't it a little too difficult? If you do it alone, it will take a long time."

This is indeed a bit difficult for Qinghe. After all, he doesn't have any extra money to hire someone for help.

"Otherwise, you can take these coins first and treat them as if they were bought by me." Dong Qian expected that she would need this gift box for a long time.

She didn't give much, she invited two or three more people at most.

Qinghe was stunned for a moment. Dong Qian handed over the silver in his hand, but he didn't move for a while.

"This money is not for you alone. I'm just thinking about the future." Dong Qian had already made it so obvious. If Qinghe didn't follow up, it would seem that he was wrong.

Then Qinghe vowed to Dong Qian that he would definitely make the gift box on time and with the right quality and quantity.

Dong Qian nodded and went back, and Qinghe immediately started looking for someone.

After returning to the restaurant, Dong Qian was a little worried. Most people really didn't use this kind of gift box much, so how to sell these salted duck eggs at a very favorable price without appearing to be so low-end.

"Of course we're going to Fucheng!" Qin Hao told her directly without thinking.

Dong Qian was stunned for a moment. Fucheng is indeed a good place. Fucheng is adjacent to Yancheng, but because it is close to the waterway dock, many merchants will pass through Fucheng, so it is also a place with greater commercial development.

However, there is only one dock in Yancheng, so it is still inferior compared to Fucheng. Because of its relative prosperity, many noble people choose to live there.

However, Dong Qian had never been in contact with people from Fucheng, and she didn't know much about the situation in Fucheng. Moreover, she definitely had no connections when she first went there, so Dong Qian felt a little withdrawn.

Qin Han suddenly stepped forward and held her hand.

"I'll go with you then."

He stood aside, his eyes never moving from her body from the beginning to the end, and he was very keenly aware of her emotional changes.

When Dong Qian heard what he said and the warmth from her palms, she couldn't help but feel very moved, as if the cowardice she felt just now had disappeared.

Qin Hao was also very happy to see the two of them getting along so well. Anyway, as long as he was here alone in Haohan Restaurant, Dong Qian could go out without worries.

After having the goal of development, Dong Qian soon began to make the pastries in the gift box.

Because it is eaten with salted duck eggs, the taste must not be too strong, but it can be well integrated with the salty flavor of salted duck eggs.

But Dong Qian had been thinking about it for a long time without any clue, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"I'll deliver the wine." After Dong Qian said hello to the people in the restaurant, she found a stable driver and moved all the wine brewed in the restaurant to the oxcart.

Then they set off to the Fu family's mansion. Dong Qian originally thought that she could just ask the servants of the Fu family to help carry her in. Unexpectedly, Fu Qiuyue heard the news of Dong Qian's arrival and hurriedly asked Huiyue to invite her.

It happened that just after the move was completed, when Dong Qian was about to leave, Huiyue hurriedly called her.

"Chef Dong, please stay!"

Dong Qian immediately stopped and signaled the driver to go back first, while she walked to Huiyue.

"Our lady has something to ask you." Huiyue didn't know what it was, but when she saw that her lady was also anxious, she ran over.

Dong Qian was confused. When she first walked into the yard, she saw the color on the table, which was the gift box of salted duck eggs.

"You're finally here. Did you pickle the duck eggs in this gift box?" Fu Qiuyue seemed to like it very much.

Dong Qian nodded and asked curiously: "Why is this gift box here with you?"

They only sent it to those suppliers. After asking, they learned that one of the suppliers gave it to Mrs. Fu.

"Grandma, she likes these salted duck eggs very much!" Fu Qiuyue hoped that Dong Qian would understand what she meant.

But Dong Qian looked at her a little apologetically, "I sell these salted duck eggs in gift boxes, so the price will be much higher than these duck eggs. If Miss Fu doesn't mind it, I will wait for the next batch of gift boxes to come out." Let me get you a few boxes first.”

Of course, Fu Qiuyue knew Dong Qian's difficulties and had no intention of only asking for salted duck eggs from the beginning. She nodded excitedly. With these salted duck eggs, Mrs. Fu didn't need so much fishy food in her meals.

Dong Qian nodded, talked to Fu Qiuyue for a while, and planned to leave when it was getting late.

But when I passed by the door of another courtyard, I smelled a fresh fragrance.

"Do you like this, Chef Dong? This fragrance comes from the sweet-scented osmanthus." Huiyue said at the side.

Dong Qian suddenly nodded as if inspired by something.

"If Chef Dong likes it, I'll have someone pick some off." Just as Hui Yue was about to find someone, Dong Qian waved her hand and left.

After coming out of the Fu family's residence, Dong Qian went directly to the market. Because it was the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom, there were many people selling sweet-scented osmanthus in the market.

When Dong Qian smelled the fragrance, she thought of what to do with the pastries in the gift box.

Osmanthus has a unique aroma, and naturally there are osmanthus cakes in pastries, but Dong Qian's method is different from the traditional one, and the taste is not as sweet as the pastries.

Normally, after eating two pieces, she would have no idea of ​​eating any more. What she wanted was to make the cakes soft and soft, similar to steamed cakes.

After buying fresh osmanthus, Dong Qian carefully washed it with warm water, then dried the soaked glutinous rice in the sun, and then ground it into powder.

Mix glutinous rice flour into appropriate amount of flour, add water, wild honey, sugar and osmanthus.

Stir until the batter is in the state and pick it up with chopsticks. The batter can hang on it but not break off. This is good.

Pour the batter into the mold, put it in the steamer and wait for a quarter of an hour.

Cover the cooked osmanthus cake with a wet steamer cloth, and turn and knead it with your hands to make the surface of the cake very smooth.

Finally, apply a layer of oil on the pastry to prevent it from sticking.

Then cut it into cubes of suitable size, so that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is completed. Dong Qian straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
