The villains seem to be intimidated by me
Chapter 46 She Said Depends on Your Performance
001.
Under the dim light of lanterns, on the boat, everyone was laughing up and down, the only one who was able to stabilize his figure a little bit was Shan Yucheng who was sitting beside Bai Moru.
But even if it was him, his back was crooked with a smile, and he threw his whole body on Bai Moru's shoulder, laughing incessantly.
The others were even more over the top, all turned upside down, holding their stomachs and laughing mercilessly.
Amidst the bursts of laughter, Bai Moru remained calm. He only glanced at the crowd, and then continued to take the teacup on the table and drink the tea in it calmly.
No one is perfect, there will always be imperfections of one kind or another, and his imperfection lies in this.Although Bai Moru didn't feel it himself, someone had said that he was tone deaf before.
Compared with himself, his body is actually much better now, at least all the tunes of the sentence just now are in tune.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone didn't know how long they laughed before finally recovering.
It's just that the people sitting on the small boat looked up at the sky and the earth and didn't dare to look at Bai Moru, for fear that if they looked at Bai Moru again, they would burst into laughter again.
The sound of laughter, piano and singing in the distance is still the same, except for a small muffled laughter from time to time on the boat here, everything is still the same.
"Okay, next one." Li Jiu raised his head and glanced at Bai Moru. He was going to divert everyone's attention, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When the rest of the people saw it, they quickly continued the conversation with a smile.
After several turns, the boat was full of laughter.
Wang Du, Li Jiu, and the proprietress suffered disasters one after another, but because of the precedent of Bai Moru before, no one mentioned singing again.
Seeing everyone's playfulness, Bai Moru focused his attention on the tea pot in front of Lao Xu on the table. The tea pot in front of Lao Xu was the same pot of tea when he was in his shop. Still Pu'er.
Taking advantage of Lao Xu's inattention, Bai Moru took the tea pot and looked at it, then emptied the water in the cup and chose some tea leaves to put in it, and took out some tangerine peels from the snacks he brought, and put them together put in it.
Finally, he took the kettle from the side and poured tea.
"This is?" Old Xu on the side had already noticed Bai Moru's hand reaching out to the teapot in front of him. If it were someone else, he would have snatched it away, but because the other party was Bai Moru, he waited patiently. What did Bai Moru want to do.
Seeing Bai Moru brewing Pu'er tea and tangerine peel together with boiling water, he couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression. Bai Moru would not be a person who spoils tea, but he put this thing together with the tangerine peel ...
"Pu'er tea and tangerine peel both have the characteristics of getting better with age, so they are very suitable for drinking together." Bai Moru said, while talking, he took the lid from the side and put it on the teacup, just waiting for the tea to be brewed.
Everyone was still playing around, but that old Xu followed Bai Moru's appearance, got the tea and the tangerine peel ready to brew, but was stopped by Bai Moru before pouring the water in.
"Dried tangerine peel can be paired with raw Pu'er tea or cooked Pu'er tea, but the ratio should be about four to one, neither too much nor too little, otherwise it will affect the taste." I said a few words to Lao Duo, "The amount of water injection can be adjusted according to your own taste, and you can also add some goji berries. You can try it in the future."
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Lao Xu hurriedly took the cup and carefully calculated the portion, and then flushed it into the water.
"Dried tangerine peel is warm in nature. It can reduce the coldness of raw tea when paired with cold raw tea. It is suitable for people with hot constitution and easy to get angry. It can help digestion. If it is mixed with cooked tea, it will be milder and can nourish the stomach and moisten the stomach. The throat clears phlegm, and the taste is sweeter." Bai Moru said.
It was a cool night and he was on a boat on the river, so Bai Moru had to be more careful.
The tangerine peel has the effect of moistening the throat and clearing the phlegm, which can prevent him from coughing after catching the wind.
After a cup of tea was brewed, before Bai Moru had time to lift the cup, Old Xu who was beside him couldn't wait to pick it up and sniff it.
Different from the usual taste of Pu'er, the taste of Pu'er with this layer of skin is a bit bitter and sweet, which made Lao Xu's dignified expression more comfortable.
"In my opinion, Boss Bai, if you can't keep this dim sum shop going, why don't you just open a tea house?" Old Xu half-closed his eyes and drank tea, but said something seductive, "If you open Teahouse, I have invited my friends to stay there to ensure that your teahouse is full of business."
The sharp-eared Wang Du on the side heard Lao Xu's words, and immediately refused to obey. He looked at Lao Xu on the side and said, "It's a beautiful idea. He made this dim sum well. In my opinion, he should make more dim sum. Why? Do you want to change to something like opening a teahouse?"
"What is that kind of thing?!" Old Xu Dang was even annoyed.
How could Wang Du be someone who would give in easily? Needless to say, the two immediately had a quarrel.I just feel sorry for those people caught between them, who are dizzy from the two of them arguing with each other.
After another moment of commotion, everyone quieted down.
Those who were interested tasted Bai Moru's tangerine peel Pu'er brewing method, while those who were not interested watched the flower boats in the distance.
Later, for some reason, the topic came back to the proprietress.
Today's boat trip was thanks to the proprietress, but everyone disturbed her plan, so they inevitably made some jokes.
At the beginning, the crowd restrained a little because the boss was there, but after seeing that the boss lady was generous and didn't mind, they talked more.
I don't know if it's tea intoxication, but the man who has been quietly following behind the proprietress talked a lot more after getting acquainted with everyone. From his mouth, everyone heard the story between him and the proprietress.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and their family was not considered wealthy in the early years, but because their fathers often had contacts, they made a baby marriage early.
When the two were in their teens, his father suddenly fell ill, and he couldn't afford it, and the family fell down because of this. At that time, he was obsessed with exams, and he only read sage books and didn't hear anything outside the window.
The proprietress never left, and helped to take care of his father and mother in the family. He went to Beijing to take the exam, and the proprietress raised the money for his journey.
It's just that he is not a person who eats this bowl of rice, so he didn't pass the exam. At that time, he just felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling. I took a job as a writer in the government office.
He wanted to gain a reputation in the exam, so he took the exam again and again, and spent nearly ten years in it.
It wasn't until a few years ago that he gave up and continued the exam and went back to the town, and then married the proprietress who had been waiting for him until nearly thirty.
After that, the two rented a shop on the street and opened a cloth shop.
The things between the two were not considered dramatic, but he remembered the proprietress well. Although the proprietress was a bit too casual, she never left him, even though he spent many years before and still failed to get any fame , the proprietress didn't say anything more, she just said that if he wanted to take the exam, he would continue to take the exam. With her at home, there is no need to worry.
If you have not personally experienced many things, you are not qualified to point fingers, and everyone is not qualified to talk about whether the two are stupid, but judging from the results, the two are living happily now.
Guarding a small cloth shop, every day welcomes and sends to do some small business.
When the proprietress was unhappy before, the boss said that if she likes, he will accompany her on a flower boat for a month. At that time, everyone thought it was a deceptive joke, but now they don't think so.
But Bai Moru felt that if the proprietress didn't always try to lean her body towards him, her persuasion would probably be stronger.
By the time everyone finished talking, it was getting late, the flower boat was a bit more exhausted, and the pedestrians on the shore gradually decreased.
Everyone collected their things, docked, and then returned to the town.
They came back late today, and most of the houses in the town had closed their doors and turned off the lights, and fell into a dream. There were only red lanterns left on the street, accompanied by the deserted footsteps of the people, it seemed a little creepy.
When they got to the street, Wang Du and the others bid farewell to Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng because they lived in an inn, so there were only two people left on the street.
Walking on the deserted street, Shan Yucheng became emboldened because of no one.
He held Bai Moru's hand affectionately, and occasionally took a bite closer to him, only to make Bai Moru's face drooling and push him away impatiently, before he backed away and walked aside.
Then it didn't take long before they came together again.
After returning to the small courtyard, Shan Yucheng quietly went to the kitchen to put a basket of snacks, and by the way brought warm hot water to find Bai Moru, and Bai Moru went back to the room and lit the lamp.
Everyone in the small courtyard had already fallen asleep, and the food that Liu Ru thoughtfully left for them was warm in the kitchen pot. After Shan Yucheng brought hot water, he took some food to Bai Moru's room.
After staring at Bai Moru dutifully and seriously as he ate the warm rice, he pushed the bowl aside, then straddled Bai Moru's lap and bowed his head to kiss it.
After the kiss was over, Shan Yucheng couldn't help babbling a few times, as if he was not used to making out with Bai Moru so boldly, but in the end he didn't get up and push Bai Moru away, but relaxed his body and let it go. Bai Moru put his arms around his waist.
He reached out and grabbed Bai Moru's skirt, and untied his belt bit by bit, revealing Bai Moru's fair skin, "Why don't you get married?"
Bai Moru put his arms around Shan Yucheng's waist, not understanding why he suddenly remembered this matter.
But Shan Yucheng leaned down slowly, and gently pressed his cool soft lips to Bai Moru's collarbone under the placket.
The slightly cool and warm touch made Bai Moru tremble slightly, and almost couldn't help humming softly.
"Why do you think of this?" Bai Moru leaned back on the chair, without any resistance, he let Shan Yucheng take off his clothes and put his whole body on his chest.
"Because I don't want to let go, I don't want to part with it." Shan Yucheng's deep and hoarse voice revealed a bit of uneasiness and trembling.
The more he was with Bai Moru, the more he couldn't let go, the more he wanted to take over everything from this person.
From the beginning to the present, just because he saw the proprietress approaching Bai Moru frequently, and seeing the old man talking to Bai Moru, he couldn't help but wish he could pounce on them in front of them. Go up and hug this person and tell them not to come near.
No, not even a glance.
Bai Moru raised his head, but broke into Shan Yucheng's amber pupils, which were filled with misty gaze at the moment.
Shan Yucheng lowered his head and gnawed on Bai Moru's collarbone, wanting to leave his own marks there, but he didn't want to hurt anyone, so he had to gnaw with his teeth bit by bit.
Bai Moru noticed the small movements on his body, he stared down at Shan Yucheng's obstinate look full of domineering, all kinds of thoughts kept churning in Bai Moru's heart, this person...
Shouldn't his meat be edible?
002.
Just as Bai Moru was about to make a move, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Ru walked in wearing a coat, "You can be regarded as coming back, the night is windy and you—"
Seeing Bai Moru sitting on the chair and Shan Yucheng sitting on Bai Moru's lap, Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and turned around to look elsewhere.
Seeing this, the two people in the room quickly stood up, turned their backs and straightened their clothes.
After tidying himself up, Shan Yucheng looked back at Liu Ru, "Auntie, I..."
"It's getting dark, you should go back to rest earlier." Liu Ru interrupted him, she didn't know if it was because of the light, her face was a little pale, and she didn't look at Shan Yucheng when she spoke, but looked aside.
Shan Yucheng looked back at Bai Moru, then at Liu Ru anxiously, and then walked out the door.
It's not the first time that Liu Ru met two people doing such a thing, the last time was in the store, but that time Liu Ru turned around and ran away, and didn't mention it again afterwards, and the two of them didn't know what kind of woman she was. She didn't mention the idea, so the two of them didn't mention it again.
Now Liu Ru didn't seem to be going to pretend not to know, Bai Moru also cheered up after seeing him.
"Mother." Bai Moru put the stool back on the table, and collected the scattered bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Seeing this, Liu Ru hesitated a bit, but after a while, she still came forward and took the bowls and chopsticks on the table, planning to take them away when she left later so that Bai Moru could rest.
"Your brother was getting married a few years ago, you..." Liu Ru lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to say.
Although Liu Ru has never seen other people like this, he has heard of it after all.She knew Bai Moru's character, and also knew that Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng were not just playing around.But because of this, it was even more difficult for her to say some words.
Bai Moru has been in poor health since she was born. In the early years, because he was young and weak, the doctor said several times that he could not be cured, but he still survived.
After all, she still felt that she owed Bai Moru. If she had been tougher towards Lin Xuecui when she was pregnant, or she could have been able to please Bai Fude more, maybe Bai Moru would not have suffered from illness in the womb for a lifetime.
So after so many years, Liu Ru has already taken some things away, as long as the child is well, everything will be fine.
If Bai Moru felt good, she would let him go, but Liu Ru also knew that if such a thing spread in this small town, it would probably attract a lot of gossip.
And she felt in her heart that she owed Bai Moru, but she also felt the same way towards Bai Xuening!
Because of having a younger brother like Bai Moru, Bai Xueming has been more sensible and hardworking than others since he was a child. He has been helping her to take care of Bai Moru without any complaints. Even the marriage has been delayed for so many years until recently. .
Now that Bai Xueming's marriage is about to come to an end, although she knows that she owes the girl a little by doing so, she still doesn't want this matter to break out at this time and ruin Bai Xueming's marriage.
"Be careful in the future, don't, don't do this, if you let outsiders see..." Liu Ru held the bowl and chopsticks, her heart was full of struggle and complicated emotions.
If things spread and Bai Xueming's marriage was ruined, Bai Moru himself would feel bad too.
She knew the people in the town, this place is so small, and there are people with bad mouths, and everyone knows about any rumors, and once it spreads, Bai Moru will become the target of public criticism.
"Mother, you're just a little tired." Bai Moru stepped forward and grabbed the bowl and chopsticks from Liu Ru's hand, and put them back on the table.
Seeing that Liu Ru was still frowning when he turned around, he sighed softly and said again: "Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, and I won't mess around."
After hearing this, Liu Ru looked up at Bai Moru apologetically, "Mother knows I have wronged you, I..."
"Okay, don't think about it, go back and rest earlier, the store will open tomorrow!" Bai Moru pushed Liu Ru to the door, and said as he walked: "The weather has been a bit cold recently, why don't we go tomorrow?" Go to the street to see if there are any suitable quilts, and then buy some thick ones."
The weather is getting colder, but there is no thick bedding at home. If you really wait until the cold is unbearable before buying, it will be too late.
"Could it be that you fell asleep at night?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ru turned back nervously to look at Bai Moru behind him, don't let him freeze to death.
"It's not cold, I'm warm!" Bai Moru said with a smile, Shan Yucheng was always warm, but he was really not cold.
"You..." Liu Ru didn't understand at first, until she saw Bai Moru's teasing smile on her face, then she gave Bai Moru an angry look, "I don't even know you kid Who learned to be so shameless..."
"Okay, go to sleep." Bai Moru pushed the person out of the door, and then pulled the door to close it.
Liu Ru who was standing outside the door hurriedly asked again, "Is it really not cold?"
"It's not cold." Bai Moru shook his head, even if it was cold, someone would come to warm him up soon.
After Liu Ru heard this, she was willing to leave and went back to her room.
Bai Moru put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them back in the kitchen, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Just as he was in a daze of sleep, there was a sound of movement around him, and then a whirring thing slipped into his arms after a while.
The man seemed very disturbed. After getting into his arms, he loosened his head and asked what happened just now, "Auntie, what did she say?"
Bai Moru fell into a drowsy sleep, and after hearing this, he said in a low voice: "She said it will depend on your performance..."
In the early morning of the next day, when the first glow illuminated the small courtyard, everyone had washed up and was ready to go.
In the corner of the yard, under the sun, the things planted by Bai Xueming's loose soil before have grown to knee height, and they are still green and full of vitality in this autumn.
Because Bai Moru casually mentioned it last night, Liu Ru is not planning to go to the store today, but is going to buy some household items, such as bedding and clothes for several people.
Autumn is coming and winter will come soon. It snows in their town in winter. Once it gets cold, people shy away from it. Thick clothes need to be prepared in advance.
Liu Ru couldn't handle these things alone, and originally planned to bring Bai Xueming to help lift the heavy objects, but Shan Yucheng suddenly stood up and volunteered.
"I've been in this town for a while, but I've never visited it carefully, so I'll go with you, Auntie!" Shan Yucheng looked at Liu Ru with a smile, with flattery and anticipation in his eyes.
That Shanyu was good-looking at all times, and now she was smiling like this again, Liu Ru looked back at Bai Moru with some hesitation, seeing that she really couldn't find a reason to refuse, she had to take him along.
Shan Yucheng had accompanied Liu Ru to the place where clothes, fabrics and quilts were sold in this town, and it was some distance away from their shop, at the end of the street.
A group of people parted ways after they reached the street, and went their separate ways.
After Bai Moru entered the shop, he looked for Zhong Qing, and the two plunged into the kitchen.
Zhongqing and Zhongjiang are also living in their small courtyard now. Liu Ru and Bai Xueming have tidied up the remaining room in the courtyard where the sundries are stored for them to live in. They eat and live with them on weekdays. Together.
That Zhongqing was young, and he was a quick learner. After Bai Moru taught him one or two basic dim sums, he was able to make them decently soon. Although the taste was a bit poor, he had a high comprehension ability.So Bai Moru asked him to follow him in the kitchen and make snacks with him.
Because the previous cake was very successful, it proved that the oven could be used, so Bai Moru invited Bai Xueming and the two to set up an oven in the backyard of the store, but this oven is slightly smaller than the one in their yard .
After the oven was successfully made, Bai Moru began to prepare and try to make several cakes, one of which was the crispy cake.
"Go get some low-gluten flour and eggs." Bai Moru's commander, Zhong Qing, rummaged through the storage room in the yard behind the kitchen, and he himself went to the cabinet in the kitchen and took out the sugar And honey.
After Zhongqing brought the things, Bai Moru directed him to break out the eggs, took the eggs and opened them all.
Zhongqing should have never been in the kitchen before, and his movements were a little clumsy. After Bai Moru took out a proper amount of other things, his side was only halfway through.
Seeing this, Bai Moru stepped forward to take the egg in his hand, and quickly cracked the egg open and took it out.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing showed a bit of apology on his face, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands, and quickly helped Bai Moru get the utensils to serve them, "After the eggs are beaten, add sugar and honey, and then beat until Thick."
While speaking, Bai Moru purposely put the amount of sugar and honey he had taken on the basin for a moment, so that Zhong Qing could see clearly.
After pouring everything into the plate, the slave handed the eggbeater and the basin to Zhong Qing.
The latter realized it immediately. After receiving the object, he started to turn his arms with all his strength. It is an extremely laborious thing to beat a whole egg, and it takes even more effort to beat it until it becomes sticky. Bai Moru Except for showing Zhong Qing the first time he did it, after that he shamelessly handed over all these things to Zhong Qing.
While waiting in the kitchen, Bai Moru looked at Zhong Qing who was sweating profusely with some guilt, and couldn't help coughing lightly to cover up his guilt.
After Zhongqing beat the eggs, Bai Moru took over and whisked the air bubbles in the finishing basin at a low speed, and stopped until the egg liquid dripping from the egg beater would not disappear immediately, "Remember, this step is very fast. important."
While talking, Bai Moru looked back, and when he turned around, he saw Zhong Qing retracting the arm he was kneading just now.
The smile on Bai Moru's face froze, and a guilty expression appeared on his face, but after a while, he turned his head away and ignored it.
Zhongqing is still a little hypocritical, or next time he tricks Wang Du over to beat the egg?
That old boy's physical strength is pretty good, as long as you lie to him that he has a snack, he will definitely run faster than anyone else.
003.
After making up his mind, Bai Moru turned back and asked Zhong Qing to take the low-gluten flour next to him, and then took the prepared amount and asked Zhong Qing to help sift it into the basin.
After Zhongqing finished, Bai Moru took the spatula and stirred it gently until it was evenly mixed.
After finishing these, Bai Moru asked Zhong Qing who was on the side to take the small paper cups made of greased paper that he had already prepared, and put them on the desk one by one, and then he himself took out the funnel and began to fill them carefully.
After a while, the yellow and colored paper cups were filled with some light brown liquid powder. At this time, Bai Moru reminded: "Remember not to fill it too full, usually it's almost half full. Because the cake will expand when it is steamed, and if it is too full, it will expand."
Zhong Qing nodded and wrote it down seriously.
"We are using paper cups made of oiled paper now. If we use a mold, we need to put a layer of oil on the top, otherwise it will be difficult to get the cake out after it is done." When Bai Moru was talking, he went to the counter next to him to pick it up. Two things come out.
The same is almond flakes, and the same is white sesame.
After taking a part of each, Bai Moru appropriately sprinkled some in each cup.
"These two things can be replaced by other things at that time, and you can try them if you have a chance in the future." Bai Moru said.
Once that's done, the pair put everything back in the oven, and all that's left is to bake.
Zhong Jiang, who came to the store with Zhong Qing, had already started the stove in the yard, and when he saw Bai Moru approaching, he hurried over to help.
However, his short hands and feet are not as tall as an oven, so Bai Moru only asked him to watch the fire by the side, and he didn't pick anything. I went to watch the fire in front of the oven.
The little guy was well-behaved and obedient, since Bai Moru used to give it to his own people in the store after baking cakes or pastries every time before, the little guy listened to Bai Moru even more.
After about half a cup of tea, the little guy couldn't be quiet anymore, his eyes were rolling between the oven and Bai Moru, because there was already a bit of cake aroma in the oven.
What Bai Moru made was a small cake. Although it was not as laborious as the previous cream cake, it was far better than the cream cake in terms of fragrance.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the aroma of this small cake has just been baked, but it has not been released yet, but the aroma can no longer be suppressed.
The people from the Guang family who settled accounts in the front store sniffed the smell, and those who were more courageous also looked towards this side, but Shan Yucheng's lingering prestige was still there, so no one took the initiative to come up to ask anything.
After another moment, Bai Moru got up after counting the time. Under the expectant eyes of the little guy, he opened the oven, took out the contents and put them on the table in the yard.
It was a fist-sized golden cake. The cake was slightly raised above the oiled paper cup, and some almond flakes and white sesame seeds were sprinkled on it. A sweet smell was coming from it.
The little guy stood on tiptoe in front of the table, staring longingly at Bai Moru, and swallowed wave after wave of saliva.
Zhong Qing, who was at the side, saw the cute appearance of the cake and smelled the aroma of the cake that could not be kept in the yard, and couldn't help swallowing.
After taking out all the cakes and putting them on the plate on the table to cool down, Bai Moru took out two and handed them in front of them, "Taste it."
Zhong Jiang, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately stretched out his small hand, but was stopped by Zhong Qing who was next to him, "Master Bai, is this going to be bad, we..."
"If you don't eat it, I'll read it to Wang, that guy can eat anything." Bai Moru said while blowing on the cake in his mouth.
When Zhong Jiang heard the words, he immediately became anxious, and trotted forward to wrap his hands on the table to protect his cake, "I'll eat it, brother, if you don't want to eat it, can you give it to me?"
Seeing Zhongqing, he quickly stepped forward to snatch his own cake from his younger brother's arm. His cheeks were a little red, and he was a bit unacceptable to the childish way of grabbing food between himself and his younger brother, but he also didn't want to miss this tasting Opportunity.
Soon, Bai Xueming in the store smelled the fragrance and walked towards the backyard one after another.
He hurried into the backyard, and when he saw the newly baked cake on the table, his eyes showed some anticipation and joy.
"The person in front asked me to ask, do you sell this dim sum today?" Bai Xueming asked a little inarticulately while tasting the soft and crispy cake in his mouth.
The taste of this small cake is delicate and soft, and it is just out of the oven, and it still has a boiling temperature. After one bite, the rich aroma seems to be eaten directly into the stomach, which is inextricable.
Hearing this, Bai Moru glanced at the person behind the door who was looking this way, then shook his head, "This is a trial work, and it will not be sold outside."
After hearing Bai Moru's words, the people behind the door walked away disappointed.
However, Bai Moru underestimated the power of this little cake, and a few people were sitting in the yard eating it. Not long after, a message came from the servants of the Guang family, saying that the proprietress from across the street had come.
Bai Moru got up and greeted the person, but he didn't expect the person to run straight to the back of the small courtyard. After looking for the small cake on the table, he couldn't wait to find a place to sit down, and tasted it with satisfaction. .
While eating, the proprietress talked to Bai Moru with some slurred words, "How about you take this snack to participate in the competition in a few days? I think if it is this thing, no one will be able to win against you." .”
Even half a street away, she could smell the aroma of this little cake, and the winning rate can be said to be obvious.
Bai Morujing, who had almost forgotten about it, remembered it after she mentioned it, and he asked with some doubts: "What are you all trying to do?"
Speaking of this incident, Bai Moru couldn't help showing a steamed face. This was originally just a trivial matter, but now it has been tossed so much by everyone, and he is the one who is in trouble in the end.
The proprietress smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, this idea was suggested by Wang Du, and we just followed what he said."
Bai Moru puffed his bun face angrily, expressing his displeasure with silence.
"The end of the year is coming soon. At the end of every year, there will be some big events in Beijing, most of which are big gatherings, and there are also many food courts. Wang Du is a frequent visitor in the food street. Every year he I will receive countless invitations, I hope he can go to town." The proprietress said slowly.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Those who can go there are people like Wang Du, Lao Xu and Li Jiu. Ordinary people can't go there, and even if they go, they can only be tourists. Wang Du hopes that you can go with him this year, but the place invites people The selection criteria are well-known local diners or chefs, and ordinary people cannot enter."
Bai Moru was silent.
"So Wang Du hopes that you can get the invitation post before the end of the year, but he doesn't want people to think that you were invited because of them." He and several nearby towns are not well-known, so this time he intends to make the incident as big as possible."
Bai Moru knew something about what the proprietress said, so it was not surprising.After all, there are related places in almost every place. On the surface, it looks like a business gathering, but in fact it is a place where chefs or other craftsmen communicate with each other.
For laymen, such a place is very rare, but for insiders, such a place is an opportunity.
If you can participate in the gathering that only people with Wang Du's status can participate in, then among other things, it is at least an affirmation of the chef's cooking skills.At the same time, I believe that this line of work can also learn a lot of things that cannot be learned elsewhere.
"By the way, there is one more thing." The proprietress said again, "Do you know a person named Ding Qi?"
"do not know."
"Ding Qi is a well-known chef in our neighborhood. He is a little different from you. He is from Wang Du, but his specialty is Hunan cuisine." The proprietress said, "Do you know why Liu Fang dared to agree to compete with you? "
Bai Moru shook his head again, but he had roughly guessed what she was going to say.
The full name of the little Rui who was in his shop before was Ding Rui.
"Since you have already guessed Xiaorui's relationship, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess that Qian Yanyan brought someone to find him for help. Seeing her plan, Qian Yanyan is going to let Ding Qi compete with you." The proprietress said rather He looked at Bai Moru worriedly.
Ding Qi is a well-known chef in their area, and the Guang family master invited him to be the chef when he celebrated his birthday.
"But since it's a match between me and Xiaorui, why should he intervene?" Bai Moru was a little disgusted, although even if he had a one-on-one match with that Ding Qi, he would still be suspected of bullying if he competed with a chef for dim sum. .
"Did you forget that you are allowed to bring an assistant in this competition." The proprietress reminded sweetly, "Although Xiaorui is the chef, if Ding Qi prepares everything, he will always be by the side to guide Xiaorui. Rui, isn't it equivalent to him doing it himself?"
Hearing the boss lady's words, Bai Moru fell into silence.
He was not prepared to lose this match from the beginning, but now it seemed that he had to consider more than just this match.
As a dim sum chef, he is naturally curious about other dim sum chefs, especially the dim sum chefs here.This place is different from where he was before, there are many snacks here that even he has never made or seen.
When he was learning dim sum, some things had already been lost over time, and many things could only be called by names, but there was no record of what they looked like, and even the names had been lost, so he could only learn from some things. glimpsed in the biography.
Now that he has such an opportunity to see and open his eyes, Bai Moru is inevitably a little curious and concerned.
But if he decides to go, there will be a lot of trouble afterwards.Let alone the present, he doesn't think that by defeating a chef, he can get Wang Du's so-called invitation post.
If it was true that he could get that thing just like this, Bai Moru would probably be full of doubts about those who sent him invitations.
"Can you be more specific about how to get the invitation?" Bai Moru asked.
The proprietress shrugged her shoulders with an expression that she didn't know, "You'd better ask Wang Du and Lao Xu about the specific situation. I heard that several of them have participated in it. If you want to Go, I think Wang Du will be very happy."
Under the dim light of lanterns, on the boat, everyone was laughing up and down, the only one who was able to stabilize his figure a little bit was Shan Yucheng who was sitting beside Bai Moru.
But even if it was him, his back was crooked with a smile, and he threw his whole body on Bai Moru's shoulder, laughing incessantly.
The others were even more over the top, all turned upside down, holding their stomachs and laughing mercilessly.
Amidst the bursts of laughter, Bai Moru remained calm. He only glanced at the crowd, and then continued to take the teacup on the table and drink the tea in it calmly.
No one is perfect, there will always be imperfections of one kind or another, and his imperfection lies in this.Although Bai Moru didn't feel it himself, someone had said that he was tone deaf before.
Compared with himself, his body is actually much better now, at least all the tunes of the sentence just now are in tune.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone didn't know how long they laughed before finally recovering.
It's just that the people sitting on the small boat looked up at the sky and the earth and didn't dare to look at Bai Moru, for fear that if they looked at Bai Moru again, they would burst into laughter again.
The sound of laughter, piano and singing in the distance is still the same, except for a small muffled laughter from time to time on the boat here, everything is still the same.
"Okay, next one." Li Jiu raised his head and glanced at Bai Moru. He was going to divert everyone's attention, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When the rest of the people saw it, they quickly continued the conversation with a smile.
After several turns, the boat was full of laughter.
Wang Du, Li Jiu, and the proprietress suffered disasters one after another, but because of the precedent of Bai Moru before, no one mentioned singing again.
Seeing everyone's playfulness, Bai Moru focused his attention on the tea pot in front of Lao Xu on the table. The tea pot in front of Lao Xu was the same pot of tea when he was in his shop. Still Pu'er.
Taking advantage of Lao Xu's inattention, Bai Moru took the tea pot and looked at it, then emptied the water in the cup and chose some tea leaves to put in it, and took out some tangerine peels from the snacks he brought, and put them together put in it.
Finally, he took the kettle from the side and poured tea.
"This is?" Old Xu on the side had already noticed Bai Moru's hand reaching out to the teapot in front of him. If it were someone else, he would have snatched it away, but because the other party was Bai Moru, he waited patiently. What did Bai Moru want to do.
Seeing Bai Moru brewing Pu'er tea and tangerine peel together with boiling water, he couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression. Bai Moru would not be a person who spoils tea, but he put this thing together with the tangerine peel ...
"Pu'er tea and tangerine peel both have the characteristics of getting better with age, so they are very suitable for drinking together." Bai Moru said, while talking, he took the lid from the side and put it on the teacup, just waiting for the tea to be brewed.
Everyone was still playing around, but that old Xu followed Bai Moru's appearance, got the tea and the tangerine peel ready to brew, but was stopped by Bai Moru before pouring the water in.
"Dried tangerine peel can be paired with raw Pu'er tea or cooked Pu'er tea, but the ratio should be about four to one, neither too much nor too little, otherwise it will affect the taste." I said a few words to Lao Duo, "The amount of water injection can be adjusted according to your own taste, and you can also add some goji berries. You can try it in the future."
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Lao Xu hurriedly took the cup and carefully calculated the portion, and then flushed it into the water.
"Dried tangerine peel is warm in nature. It can reduce the coldness of raw tea when paired with cold raw tea. It is suitable for people with hot constitution and easy to get angry. It can help digestion. If it is mixed with cooked tea, it will be milder and can nourish the stomach and moisten the stomach. The throat clears phlegm, and the taste is sweeter." Bai Moru said.
It was a cool night and he was on a boat on the river, so Bai Moru had to be more careful.
The tangerine peel has the effect of moistening the throat and clearing the phlegm, which can prevent him from coughing after catching the wind.
After a cup of tea was brewed, before Bai Moru had time to lift the cup, Old Xu who was beside him couldn't wait to pick it up and sniff it.
Different from the usual taste of Pu'er, the taste of Pu'er with this layer of skin is a bit bitter and sweet, which made Lao Xu's dignified expression more comfortable.
"In my opinion, Boss Bai, if you can't keep this dim sum shop going, why don't you just open a tea house?" Old Xu half-closed his eyes and drank tea, but said something seductive, "If you open Teahouse, I have invited my friends to stay there to ensure that your teahouse is full of business."
The sharp-eared Wang Du on the side heard Lao Xu's words, and immediately refused to obey. He looked at Lao Xu on the side and said, "It's a beautiful idea. He made this dim sum well. In my opinion, he should make more dim sum. Why? Do you want to change to something like opening a teahouse?"
"What is that kind of thing?!" Old Xu Dang was even annoyed.
How could Wang Du be someone who would give in easily? Needless to say, the two immediately had a quarrel.I just feel sorry for those people caught between them, who are dizzy from the two of them arguing with each other.
After another moment of commotion, everyone quieted down.
Those who were interested tasted Bai Moru's tangerine peel Pu'er brewing method, while those who were not interested watched the flower boats in the distance.
Later, for some reason, the topic came back to the proprietress.
Today's boat trip was thanks to the proprietress, but everyone disturbed her plan, so they inevitably made some jokes.
At the beginning, the crowd restrained a little because the boss was there, but after seeing that the boss lady was generous and didn't mind, they talked more.
I don't know if it's tea intoxication, but the man who has been quietly following behind the proprietress talked a lot more after getting acquainted with everyone. From his mouth, everyone heard the story between him and the proprietress.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and their family was not considered wealthy in the early years, but because their fathers often had contacts, they made a baby marriage early.
When the two were in their teens, his father suddenly fell ill, and he couldn't afford it, and the family fell down because of this. At that time, he was obsessed with exams, and he only read sage books and didn't hear anything outside the window.
The proprietress never left, and helped to take care of his father and mother in the family. He went to Beijing to take the exam, and the proprietress raised the money for his journey.
It's just that he is not a person who eats this bowl of rice, so he didn't pass the exam. At that time, he just felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling. I took a job as a writer in the government office.
He wanted to gain a reputation in the exam, so he took the exam again and again, and spent nearly ten years in it.
It wasn't until a few years ago that he gave up and continued the exam and went back to the town, and then married the proprietress who had been waiting for him until nearly thirty.
After that, the two rented a shop on the street and opened a cloth shop.
The things between the two were not considered dramatic, but he remembered the proprietress well. Although the proprietress was a bit too casual, she never left him, even though he spent many years before and still failed to get any fame , the proprietress didn't say anything more, she just said that if he wanted to take the exam, he would continue to take the exam. With her at home, there is no need to worry.
If you have not personally experienced many things, you are not qualified to point fingers, and everyone is not qualified to talk about whether the two are stupid, but judging from the results, the two are living happily now.
Guarding a small cloth shop, every day welcomes and sends to do some small business.
When the proprietress was unhappy before, the boss said that if she likes, he will accompany her on a flower boat for a month. At that time, everyone thought it was a deceptive joke, but now they don't think so.
But Bai Moru felt that if the proprietress didn't always try to lean her body towards him, her persuasion would probably be stronger.
By the time everyone finished talking, it was getting late, the flower boat was a bit more exhausted, and the pedestrians on the shore gradually decreased.
Everyone collected their things, docked, and then returned to the town.
They came back late today, and most of the houses in the town had closed their doors and turned off the lights, and fell into a dream. There were only red lanterns left on the street, accompanied by the deserted footsteps of the people, it seemed a little creepy.
When they got to the street, Wang Du and the others bid farewell to Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng because they lived in an inn, so there were only two people left on the street.
Walking on the deserted street, Shan Yucheng became emboldened because of no one.
He held Bai Moru's hand affectionately, and occasionally took a bite closer to him, only to make Bai Moru's face drooling and push him away impatiently, before he backed away and walked aside.
Then it didn't take long before they came together again.
After returning to the small courtyard, Shan Yucheng quietly went to the kitchen to put a basket of snacks, and by the way brought warm hot water to find Bai Moru, and Bai Moru went back to the room and lit the lamp.
Everyone in the small courtyard had already fallen asleep, and the food that Liu Ru thoughtfully left for them was warm in the kitchen pot. After Shan Yucheng brought hot water, he took some food to Bai Moru's room.
After staring at Bai Moru dutifully and seriously as he ate the warm rice, he pushed the bowl aside, then straddled Bai Moru's lap and bowed his head to kiss it.
After the kiss was over, Shan Yucheng couldn't help babbling a few times, as if he was not used to making out with Bai Moru so boldly, but in the end he didn't get up and push Bai Moru away, but relaxed his body and let it go. Bai Moru put his arms around his waist.
He reached out and grabbed Bai Moru's skirt, and untied his belt bit by bit, revealing Bai Moru's fair skin, "Why don't you get married?"
Bai Moru put his arms around Shan Yucheng's waist, not understanding why he suddenly remembered this matter.
But Shan Yucheng leaned down slowly, and gently pressed his cool soft lips to Bai Moru's collarbone under the placket.
The slightly cool and warm touch made Bai Moru tremble slightly, and almost couldn't help humming softly.
"Why do you think of this?" Bai Moru leaned back on the chair, without any resistance, he let Shan Yucheng take off his clothes and put his whole body on his chest.
"Because I don't want to let go, I don't want to part with it." Shan Yucheng's deep and hoarse voice revealed a bit of uneasiness and trembling.
The more he was with Bai Moru, the more he couldn't let go, the more he wanted to take over everything from this person.
From the beginning to the present, just because he saw the proprietress approaching Bai Moru frequently, and seeing the old man talking to Bai Moru, he couldn't help but wish he could pounce on them in front of them. Go up and hug this person and tell them not to come near.
No, not even a glance.
Bai Moru raised his head, but broke into Shan Yucheng's amber pupils, which were filled with misty gaze at the moment.
Shan Yucheng lowered his head and gnawed on Bai Moru's collarbone, wanting to leave his own marks there, but he didn't want to hurt anyone, so he had to gnaw with his teeth bit by bit.
Bai Moru noticed the small movements on his body, he stared down at Shan Yucheng's obstinate look full of domineering, all kinds of thoughts kept churning in Bai Moru's heart, this person...
Shouldn't his meat be edible?
002.
Just as Bai Moru was about to make a move, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Ru walked in wearing a coat, "You can be regarded as coming back, the night is windy and you—"
Seeing Bai Moru sitting on the chair and Shan Yucheng sitting on Bai Moru's lap, Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and turned around to look elsewhere.
Seeing this, the two people in the room quickly stood up, turned their backs and straightened their clothes.
After tidying himself up, Shan Yucheng looked back at Liu Ru, "Auntie, I..."
"It's getting dark, you should go back to rest earlier." Liu Ru interrupted him, she didn't know if it was because of the light, her face was a little pale, and she didn't look at Shan Yucheng when she spoke, but looked aside.
Shan Yucheng looked back at Bai Moru, then at Liu Ru anxiously, and then walked out the door.
It's not the first time that Liu Ru met two people doing such a thing, the last time was in the store, but that time Liu Ru turned around and ran away, and didn't mention it again afterwards, and the two of them didn't know what kind of woman she was. She didn't mention the idea, so the two of them didn't mention it again.
Now Liu Ru didn't seem to be going to pretend not to know, Bai Moru also cheered up after seeing him.
"Mother." Bai Moru put the stool back on the table, and collected the scattered bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Seeing this, Liu Ru hesitated a bit, but after a while, she still came forward and took the bowls and chopsticks on the table, planning to take them away when she left later so that Bai Moru could rest.
"Your brother was getting married a few years ago, you..." Liu Ru lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to say.
Although Liu Ru has never seen other people like this, he has heard of it after all.She knew Bai Moru's character, and also knew that Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng were not just playing around.But because of this, it was even more difficult for her to say some words.
Bai Moru has been in poor health since she was born. In the early years, because he was young and weak, the doctor said several times that he could not be cured, but he still survived.
After all, she still felt that she owed Bai Moru. If she had been tougher towards Lin Xuecui when she was pregnant, or she could have been able to please Bai Fude more, maybe Bai Moru would not have suffered from illness in the womb for a lifetime.
So after so many years, Liu Ru has already taken some things away, as long as the child is well, everything will be fine.
If Bai Moru felt good, she would let him go, but Liu Ru also knew that if such a thing spread in this small town, it would probably attract a lot of gossip.
And she felt in her heart that she owed Bai Moru, but she also felt the same way towards Bai Xuening!
Because of having a younger brother like Bai Moru, Bai Xueming has been more sensible and hardworking than others since he was a child. He has been helping her to take care of Bai Moru without any complaints. Even the marriage has been delayed for so many years until recently. .
Now that Bai Xueming's marriage is about to come to an end, although she knows that she owes the girl a little by doing so, she still doesn't want this matter to break out at this time and ruin Bai Xueming's marriage.
"Be careful in the future, don't, don't do this, if you let outsiders see..." Liu Ru held the bowl and chopsticks, her heart was full of struggle and complicated emotions.
If things spread and Bai Xueming's marriage was ruined, Bai Moru himself would feel bad too.
She knew the people in the town, this place is so small, and there are people with bad mouths, and everyone knows about any rumors, and once it spreads, Bai Moru will become the target of public criticism.
"Mother, you're just a little tired." Bai Moru stepped forward and grabbed the bowl and chopsticks from Liu Ru's hand, and put them back on the table.
Seeing that Liu Ru was still frowning when he turned around, he sighed softly and said again: "Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, and I won't mess around."
After hearing this, Liu Ru looked up at Bai Moru apologetically, "Mother knows I have wronged you, I..."
"Okay, don't think about it, go back and rest earlier, the store will open tomorrow!" Bai Moru pushed Liu Ru to the door, and said as he walked: "The weather has been a bit cold recently, why don't we go tomorrow?" Go to the street to see if there are any suitable quilts, and then buy some thick ones."
The weather is getting colder, but there is no thick bedding at home. If you really wait until the cold is unbearable before buying, it will be too late.
"Could it be that you fell asleep at night?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ru turned back nervously to look at Bai Moru behind him, don't let him freeze to death.
"It's not cold, I'm warm!" Bai Moru said with a smile, Shan Yucheng was always warm, but he was really not cold.
"You..." Liu Ru didn't understand at first, until she saw Bai Moru's teasing smile on her face, then she gave Bai Moru an angry look, "I don't even know you kid Who learned to be so shameless..."
"Okay, go to sleep." Bai Moru pushed the person out of the door, and then pulled the door to close it.
Liu Ru who was standing outside the door hurriedly asked again, "Is it really not cold?"
"It's not cold." Bai Moru shook his head, even if it was cold, someone would come to warm him up soon.
After Liu Ru heard this, she was willing to leave and went back to her room.
Bai Moru put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them back in the kitchen, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Just as he was in a daze of sleep, there was a sound of movement around him, and then a whirring thing slipped into his arms after a while.
The man seemed very disturbed. After getting into his arms, he loosened his head and asked what happened just now, "Auntie, what did she say?"
Bai Moru fell into a drowsy sleep, and after hearing this, he said in a low voice: "She said it will depend on your performance..."
In the early morning of the next day, when the first glow illuminated the small courtyard, everyone had washed up and was ready to go.
In the corner of the yard, under the sun, the things planted by Bai Xueming's loose soil before have grown to knee height, and they are still green and full of vitality in this autumn.
Because Bai Moru casually mentioned it last night, Liu Ru is not planning to go to the store today, but is going to buy some household items, such as bedding and clothes for several people.
Autumn is coming and winter will come soon. It snows in their town in winter. Once it gets cold, people shy away from it. Thick clothes need to be prepared in advance.
Liu Ru couldn't handle these things alone, and originally planned to bring Bai Xueming to help lift the heavy objects, but Shan Yucheng suddenly stood up and volunteered.
"I've been in this town for a while, but I've never visited it carefully, so I'll go with you, Auntie!" Shan Yucheng looked at Liu Ru with a smile, with flattery and anticipation in his eyes.
That Shanyu was good-looking at all times, and now she was smiling like this again, Liu Ru looked back at Bai Moru with some hesitation, seeing that she really couldn't find a reason to refuse, she had to take him along.
Shan Yucheng had accompanied Liu Ru to the place where clothes, fabrics and quilts were sold in this town, and it was some distance away from their shop, at the end of the street.
A group of people parted ways after they reached the street, and went their separate ways.
After Bai Moru entered the shop, he looked for Zhong Qing, and the two plunged into the kitchen.
Zhongqing and Zhongjiang are also living in their small courtyard now. Liu Ru and Bai Xueming have tidied up the remaining room in the courtyard where the sundries are stored for them to live in. They eat and live with them on weekdays. Together.
That Zhongqing was young, and he was a quick learner. After Bai Moru taught him one or two basic dim sums, he was able to make them decently soon. Although the taste was a bit poor, he had a high comprehension ability.So Bai Moru asked him to follow him in the kitchen and make snacks with him.
Because the previous cake was very successful, it proved that the oven could be used, so Bai Moru invited Bai Xueming and the two to set up an oven in the backyard of the store, but this oven is slightly smaller than the one in their yard .
After the oven was successfully made, Bai Moru began to prepare and try to make several cakes, one of which was the crispy cake.
"Go get some low-gluten flour and eggs." Bai Moru's commander, Zhong Qing, rummaged through the storage room in the yard behind the kitchen, and he himself went to the cabinet in the kitchen and took out the sugar And honey.
After Zhongqing brought the things, Bai Moru directed him to break out the eggs, took the eggs and opened them all.
Zhongqing should have never been in the kitchen before, and his movements were a little clumsy. After Bai Moru took out a proper amount of other things, his side was only halfway through.
Seeing this, Bai Moru stepped forward to take the egg in his hand, and quickly cracked the egg open and took it out.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing showed a bit of apology on his face, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands, and quickly helped Bai Moru get the utensils to serve them, "After the eggs are beaten, add sugar and honey, and then beat until Thick."
While speaking, Bai Moru purposely put the amount of sugar and honey he had taken on the basin for a moment, so that Zhong Qing could see clearly.
After pouring everything into the plate, the slave handed the eggbeater and the basin to Zhong Qing.
The latter realized it immediately. After receiving the object, he started to turn his arms with all his strength. It is an extremely laborious thing to beat a whole egg, and it takes even more effort to beat it until it becomes sticky. Bai Moru Except for showing Zhong Qing the first time he did it, after that he shamelessly handed over all these things to Zhong Qing.
While waiting in the kitchen, Bai Moru looked at Zhong Qing who was sweating profusely with some guilt, and couldn't help coughing lightly to cover up his guilt.
After Zhongqing beat the eggs, Bai Moru took over and whisked the air bubbles in the finishing basin at a low speed, and stopped until the egg liquid dripping from the egg beater would not disappear immediately, "Remember, this step is very fast. important."
While talking, Bai Moru looked back, and when he turned around, he saw Zhong Qing retracting the arm he was kneading just now.
The smile on Bai Moru's face froze, and a guilty expression appeared on his face, but after a while, he turned his head away and ignored it.
Zhongqing is still a little hypocritical, or next time he tricks Wang Du over to beat the egg?
That old boy's physical strength is pretty good, as long as you lie to him that he has a snack, he will definitely run faster than anyone else.
003.
After making up his mind, Bai Moru turned back and asked Zhong Qing to take the low-gluten flour next to him, and then took the prepared amount and asked Zhong Qing to help sift it into the basin.
After Zhongqing finished, Bai Moru took the spatula and stirred it gently until it was evenly mixed.
After finishing these, Bai Moru asked Zhong Qing who was on the side to take the small paper cups made of greased paper that he had already prepared, and put them on the desk one by one, and then he himself took out the funnel and began to fill them carefully.
After a while, the yellow and colored paper cups were filled with some light brown liquid powder. At this time, Bai Moru reminded: "Remember not to fill it too full, usually it's almost half full. Because the cake will expand when it is steamed, and if it is too full, it will expand."
Zhong Qing nodded and wrote it down seriously.
"We are using paper cups made of oiled paper now. If we use a mold, we need to put a layer of oil on the top, otherwise it will be difficult to get the cake out after it is done." When Bai Moru was talking, he went to the counter next to him to pick it up. Two things come out.
The same is almond flakes, and the same is white sesame.
After taking a part of each, Bai Moru appropriately sprinkled some in each cup.
"These two things can be replaced by other things at that time, and you can try them if you have a chance in the future." Bai Moru said.
Once that's done, the pair put everything back in the oven, and all that's left is to bake.
Zhong Jiang, who came to the store with Zhong Qing, had already started the stove in the yard, and when he saw Bai Moru approaching, he hurried over to help.
However, his short hands and feet are not as tall as an oven, so Bai Moru only asked him to watch the fire by the side, and he didn't pick anything. I went to watch the fire in front of the oven.
The little guy was well-behaved and obedient, since Bai Moru used to give it to his own people in the store after baking cakes or pastries every time before, the little guy listened to Bai Moru even more.
After about half a cup of tea, the little guy couldn't be quiet anymore, his eyes were rolling between the oven and Bai Moru, because there was already a bit of cake aroma in the oven.
What Bai Moru made was a small cake. Although it was not as laborious as the previous cream cake, it was far better than the cream cake in terms of fragrance.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the aroma of this small cake has just been baked, but it has not been released yet, but the aroma can no longer be suppressed.
The people from the Guang family who settled accounts in the front store sniffed the smell, and those who were more courageous also looked towards this side, but Shan Yucheng's lingering prestige was still there, so no one took the initiative to come up to ask anything.
After another moment, Bai Moru got up after counting the time. Under the expectant eyes of the little guy, he opened the oven, took out the contents and put them on the table in the yard.
It was a fist-sized golden cake. The cake was slightly raised above the oiled paper cup, and some almond flakes and white sesame seeds were sprinkled on it. A sweet smell was coming from it.
The little guy stood on tiptoe in front of the table, staring longingly at Bai Moru, and swallowed wave after wave of saliva.
Zhong Qing, who was at the side, saw the cute appearance of the cake and smelled the aroma of the cake that could not be kept in the yard, and couldn't help swallowing.
After taking out all the cakes and putting them on the plate on the table to cool down, Bai Moru took out two and handed them in front of them, "Taste it."
Zhong Jiang, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately stretched out his small hand, but was stopped by Zhong Qing who was next to him, "Master Bai, is this going to be bad, we..."
"If you don't eat it, I'll read it to Wang, that guy can eat anything." Bai Moru said while blowing on the cake in his mouth.
When Zhong Jiang heard the words, he immediately became anxious, and trotted forward to wrap his hands on the table to protect his cake, "I'll eat it, brother, if you don't want to eat it, can you give it to me?"
Seeing Zhongqing, he quickly stepped forward to snatch his own cake from his younger brother's arm. His cheeks were a little red, and he was a bit unacceptable to the childish way of grabbing food between himself and his younger brother, but he also didn't want to miss this tasting Opportunity.
Soon, Bai Xueming in the store smelled the fragrance and walked towards the backyard one after another.
He hurried into the backyard, and when he saw the newly baked cake on the table, his eyes showed some anticipation and joy.
"The person in front asked me to ask, do you sell this dim sum today?" Bai Xueming asked a little inarticulately while tasting the soft and crispy cake in his mouth.
The taste of this small cake is delicate and soft, and it is just out of the oven, and it still has a boiling temperature. After one bite, the rich aroma seems to be eaten directly into the stomach, which is inextricable.
Hearing this, Bai Moru glanced at the person behind the door who was looking this way, then shook his head, "This is a trial work, and it will not be sold outside."
After hearing Bai Moru's words, the people behind the door walked away disappointed.
However, Bai Moru underestimated the power of this little cake, and a few people were sitting in the yard eating it. Not long after, a message came from the servants of the Guang family, saying that the proprietress from across the street had come.
Bai Moru got up and greeted the person, but he didn't expect the person to run straight to the back of the small courtyard. After looking for the small cake on the table, he couldn't wait to find a place to sit down, and tasted it with satisfaction. .
While eating, the proprietress talked to Bai Moru with some slurred words, "How about you take this snack to participate in the competition in a few days? I think if it is this thing, no one will be able to win against you." .”
Even half a street away, she could smell the aroma of this little cake, and the winning rate can be said to be obvious.
Bai Morujing, who had almost forgotten about it, remembered it after she mentioned it, and he asked with some doubts: "What are you all trying to do?"
Speaking of this incident, Bai Moru couldn't help showing a steamed face. This was originally just a trivial matter, but now it has been tossed so much by everyone, and he is the one who is in trouble in the end.
The proprietress smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, this idea was suggested by Wang Du, and we just followed what he said."
Bai Moru puffed his bun face angrily, expressing his displeasure with silence.
"The end of the year is coming soon. At the end of every year, there will be some big events in Beijing, most of which are big gatherings, and there are also many food courts. Wang Du is a frequent visitor in the food street. Every year he I will receive countless invitations, I hope he can go to town." The proprietress said slowly.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Those who can go there are people like Wang Du, Lao Xu and Li Jiu. Ordinary people can't go there, and even if they go, they can only be tourists. Wang Du hopes that you can go with him this year, but the place invites people The selection criteria are well-known local diners or chefs, and ordinary people cannot enter."
Bai Moru was silent.
"So Wang Du hopes that you can get the invitation post before the end of the year, but he doesn't want people to think that you were invited because of them." He and several nearby towns are not well-known, so this time he intends to make the incident as big as possible."
Bai Moru knew something about what the proprietress said, so it was not surprising.After all, there are related places in almost every place. On the surface, it looks like a business gathering, but in fact it is a place where chefs or other craftsmen communicate with each other.
For laymen, such a place is very rare, but for insiders, such a place is an opportunity.
If you can participate in the gathering that only people with Wang Du's status can participate in, then among other things, it is at least an affirmation of the chef's cooking skills.At the same time, I believe that this line of work can also learn a lot of things that cannot be learned elsewhere.
"By the way, there is one more thing." The proprietress said again, "Do you know a person named Ding Qi?"
"do not know."
"Ding Qi is a well-known chef in our neighborhood. He is a little different from you. He is from Wang Du, but his specialty is Hunan cuisine." The proprietress said, "Do you know why Liu Fang dared to agree to compete with you? "
Bai Moru shook his head again, but he had roughly guessed what she was going to say.
The full name of the little Rui who was in his shop before was Ding Rui.
"Since you have already guessed Xiaorui's relationship, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess that Qian Yanyan brought someone to find him for help. Seeing her plan, Qian Yanyan is going to let Ding Qi compete with you." The proprietress said rather He looked at Bai Moru worriedly.
Ding Qi is a well-known chef in their area, and the Guang family master invited him to be the chef when he celebrated his birthday.
"But since it's a match between me and Xiaorui, why should he intervene?" Bai Moru was a little disgusted, although even if he had a one-on-one match with that Ding Qi, he would still be suspected of bullying if he competed with a chef for dim sum. .
"Did you forget that you are allowed to bring an assistant in this competition." The proprietress reminded sweetly, "Although Xiaorui is the chef, if Ding Qi prepares everything, he will always be by the side to guide Xiaorui. Rui, isn't it equivalent to him doing it himself?"
Hearing the boss lady's words, Bai Moru fell into silence.
He was not prepared to lose this match from the beginning, but now it seemed that he had to consider more than just this match.
As a dim sum chef, he is naturally curious about other dim sum chefs, especially the dim sum chefs here.This place is different from where he was before, there are many snacks here that even he has never made or seen.
When he was learning dim sum, some things had already been lost over time, and many things could only be called by names, but there was no record of what they looked like, and even the names had been lost, so he could only learn from some things. glimpsed in the biography.
Now that he has such an opportunity to see and open his eyes, Bai Moru is inevitably a little curious and concerned.
But if he decides to go, there will be a lot of trouble afterwards.Let alone the present, he doesn't think that by defeating a chef, he can get Wang Du's so-called invitation post.
If it was true that he could get that thing just like this, Bai Moru would probably be full of doubts about those who sent him invitations.
"Can you be more specific about how to get the invitation?" Bai Moru asked.
The proprietress shrugged her shoulders with an expression that she didn't know, "You'd better ask Wang Du and Lao Xu about the specific situation. I heard that several of them have participated in it. If you want to Go, I think Wang Du will be very happy."
