Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Years later, the registration documents for the Qin Guan were completed, and it was named the Silk and Bamboo Guan. The layman Zhemei returned to secular life in advance.

Two days before the opening, she came to Mao Xi's Liuxiang Snacks.

"Miss Ah Miao, my piano studio will open soon. It's located in Laoshu Lane, Beixunmen. You must come to support me on that day."

"I will definitely go there then." Mao Xi lamented Zhemei's initiative in opening the piano studio.

Zhemei told Shu Xi her worries: "I'm a little worried that no one will show up at the piano hall on the opening day."

Mao Xi remembered that before time travel, he had seen that many music stores would hold opening ceremonies or large-scale events such as live performances when they opened, so he suggested:

"Miss Zhemei, why don't you play some music in the piano hall on the opening day to attract people to come in and watch. The museum will also provide some tea and hire some people to entertain the guests and introduce the guzheng you sell."

"That's a good idea. I'm going to practice the music and get ready!"

"Wait a minute!" Su Xi suddenly had an idea. She took out a pen and paper and drew a square opening cake.

The words "Si Zhu Guan Happy Opening" are written in the middle of the cake, and one corner of the cake is decorated with plum blossoms and fruits.

"What is this? This pastry is too big!" Zhemei exclaimed.

"This is a shortbread cake to celebrate your opening. I combined the small pastries into one large pastry. On the opening day, after all your songs have been performed, I will cut the cake into small portions and distribute them to the guests who come to the hotel to taste."

Zhemei was puzzled: "Why should this pastry be made into a large portion?"

"To increase the sense of ceremony, you can ask a friend to help you divide the pastries into small portions and distribute them personally."

"A sense of ceremony?" Although Zhemei didn't understand much, she still spent 200 Wen to order an opening cake from Shu Xi.

Two days later, Mao Xi started baking sponge cake early in the morning. She went to the space to use a butter machine to whip cream.

Since the cake was relatively large, she divided it into two pieces and put them in a food box. After taking them to the piano hall and putting them together, she framed and wrote on the cream on the spot.

The smell of the cake attracted the attention of some children, who were originally brought by their parents to listen to the guzheng.

The child was playful, but in order to eat the cake, he quietly listened to Zhemei playing all the songs.

Zhe Mei's best friend, Mr. Sima Yuan, was on good terms with Master Su, and specially invited him to help with the opening of the Silk and Bamboo Pavilion and cut the opening cake.

Mao Xi watched the ceremony end and was about to go back to the shop to work.

She was stopped by an old woman who was the head of the Kaitang magistrate's family.

"Miss Mao Xi, my master will hold a family banquet to celebrate his birthday in three days. I would like to invite the young lady to help prepare the birthday banquet and make plain cakes and birthday cakes."

"Plain cake? Is it the Yuqingguan kind?"

The woman nodded, indicating that her wife and master both liked the plain cake.

"Today's opening cake, I will ask you to make a similar one, but the wording on the frame will be changed to the word 'longevity'."

Mao Xi was a little hesitant. It would take half a day to make cakes in Kaitang County.

"In addition to the money for the customized cakes, I will give you twenty taels of wages per day. Miss Mao Xi can consider it."

This is a good deal, and Mao Xi nods in agreement.

The woman gave Shu Xi a 300-wen deposit and a badge to enter and leave the prefecture, and then went to find Zhe Mei again.

This custom-made pastry service also includes labor fees, which is a really good deal.

After Mao Xi returned home, she drew three different birthday cakes from memory on paper and asked everyone to help choose.

The framed cream includes three-dimensional peaches, cranes and pine trees.

"Which one do you think looks better?" Shui Xi asked.

Chen thinks the red birthday peach is festive, but Xiaoqing and Lou Laner like the crane.

Finally, Mao Xi merged the three elements together, using two rows of small birthday peaches instead of the skirt to surround the cake, then painted pine trees and cranes on the surface, and wrote a big red word "longevity" in the middle.

On the day of Zhouzhi County's birthday, Mao Xi baked the cake base in advance at the restaurant, whipped the cream and put it in the refrigerated space.

Early in the morning, she took Xiaoqing to the prefecture to help in the kitchen.

The servant saw the waist badge and allowed only Shui Xi to enter.

"Brother, she is with me. Those are the prepared materials."

Mao Xi signaled Xiaoqing to open the food box for the servant to check. After the servant checked that everything was correct, he took the food box and said, "I will help you get the food box. Only one person can enter."

The two couldn't argue, and the nun in charge came to the door.

"Why don't you come in? Hurry, we have to prepare the cakes before noon."

"Mother in charge, the plain cakes and cakes need to be made fresh. I am short of manpower alone, so she is my assistant cook."

Mammy glanced at Xiaoqing and said, "I can help in the kitchen, but I will only pay the labor fee as agreed before."

Mao Xi nodded, and then the two of them entered the house.

Arriving at the kitchen of the house, the lady in charge also went about her business, and Xiaoqing started making cakes in the kitchen.

Since the cake was not easy to move, Mao Xi decorated the banquet table with flowers on the spot under the watchful eyes of the guests.

She took out the cake slices she had prepared in advance, first covered the outer layer of the cake with white cream, then used pink cream to squeeze a circle of peaches on the bottom, then painted peach leaves, pine trees, white cranes, and finally made it with strawberries. Red jam, with a big Chinese character "longevity" written on it.

Among the guests, there were not only regular customers of Liuxiang Snacks such as Xu Xueshi, Mi Yuan, and Zhe Mei, but also some old gourmets from Kaitang County. They gathered around to see how the white cake turned into a shape with Mao Xi's decoration. A "painting".

"Miss Ah Miao, what kind of new pastry is this? Is it a puff pastry?" Xuexianshi asked.

"This is a custom-made butter cake, with egg pastry inside and butter cake on the outside."

Mi Yuan, who likes painting, saw that this cake looked like a landscape painting, and praised it: "I didn't expect that you can also paint on this cake."

Zhou Zhixian came to the banquet and invited everyone to sit down and eat.

"Dear friends, please take your seats. The banquet is now open."

Mao Xi returned to the kitchen and helped Xiaoqing make vegetarian cakes.

The nun in charge asked Mao Xi to make more: "In addition to using these plain cakes for today's banquet, the house also needs to prepare some."

The servants began to serve the dishes, and after the last dish was served, the magistrate began to cut the cake.

He held the bamboo knife left by Ma Xi, but he couldn't get it for a while.

Academician Su stood up and said with a smile: "Haha, I have experience in this."

He picked up the bamboo knife and demonstrated it to Zhou Zhixian on top of the cake.

When the grandma in charge saw that the master and the guests had finished the cake and there were no problems, she settled the wages together with the money for cakes and plain cakes, and gave her two to five hundred cash.

After Mao Xi and Xiaoqing packed up their food boxes and tools, and were about to leave, Zhemei called out to Mao Xi from behind.

"Miss Ah Miao, wait for me!" She was holding a guzheng and walking towards the door of the prefecture.

"Miss Zhemei, did you come to the magistrate to perform today?"

Zhemei nodded and asked Mao Xi and Xiaoqing to ride in the carriage with her.

"On the opening day of the Silk and Bamboo Pavilion, the lady in charge invited me to play the piano to congratulate the county magistrate on his birthday. At the banquet just now, your birthday cake stole the show! There were several gentlemen at the banquet who said they would like to visit you in the future. I’m ordering a birthday cake for you!”
