Chapter 609

He was praised by his master, but he did not dare to be complacent. They knew that the reason why the shop was able to revive itself was the result of a combination of various factors.

Xu Qing made a great reputation in Shengzhou City in his early years. With Ji's support, qingtingfang's pastries sold so well.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the cool. They were totally touched by the light.

In the evening, when he went to Li's house for dinner, Xu Qing made a big table of delicious food. Even Fu Xitang and Fu Laodu came. The people at the table were extraordinary. They sat in it peacefully, as if they were two young plants illuminated by the light of the Buddha, and they were going to ascend to heaven in the next second.

After a meal, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves and left at night.

The next day, Li Changting went to Doujiu hall to learn how to make wine. Duanmu Xiang took a Ying everywhere to play, while Xu Qing took a dragonfly to Fu's house.

It's time to discuss the cooperation with Fu Xitang.

Although we met last night, Xu Qing did not forget to bring some gifts to Fu Xitang and Fu Lao.

"Are these gifts, too? So much? " Fu Xitang pointed to two big food boxes and asked.

"These are not." When he came over, Xu Qing brought a lot of things, and bothered the servants of the Fu family to bring them in.

Fu Xitang waved back and opened the food box. Seeing the cakes inside, he immediately laughed. In another food box, it was really a bottle of jam.

These cakes are different from those supplied to wangyuelou before. Fu Xitang asked curiously, "what are their names?"

Xu Qing used to introduce everything: "steamed cake, egg tarts, waffles, cheese bread, cookies, plus eight kinds of jam."

Fu Xitang: "the name is still so strange..."

Xu Qing: "whatever it's called, it's delicious."

Fu Xitang: "how to eat these things, dip in jam to eat?"

Xu Qing: "yes, it's OK not to dip in sauce. It depends on personal taste."

Fu Xitang tasted one by one, either egg flavor or milk flavor. No matter the taste or taste, it was really different from traditional cakes.

Fu Xitang asked: "these cakes can also be sold like ordinary cakes. I always feel that they are not enough."

The taste is not familiar to the public. Fu Xitang really worries about how to sell it.

Xu Qing: "do you want to listen to my advice?"

Fu Xitang: "you can't be better if you have suggestions."

Xu Qing: "then you go to prepare some plates, white porcelain, wooden, 6-inch, 8-inch, spoons, big and small,

when these things are ready, Xu Qing puts the little dragonfly on the warm Kang and asks the maid to help watch.

Then he went to the kitchen and told Fu Xitang the meaning of putting the plate.

She used to see the setting of Michelin restaurant. She was so amazing. Later, she went back to buy some books about setting of Michelin restaurant and studied them as a hobby.

Watching Xu Qing with chopsticks, spoons and even brush dipped in jam sauce on the plate painting, after a few simple strokes, and then put on a small cake, decorated with a few fruits, mint leaves.

Xu Qing went on to make the second dish. She even lit a small stove and fried the poached eggs, sliced the cheese bread, sandwiched the poached eggs and green tender vegetable leaves. The jam inside was not smeared, but quickly drawn into a vertical and horizontal shape when it was poured.

Or slice, put a small plate of jam in the middle, or sprinkle with powdered sugar and Matcha powder, just like snow.

The waffles seem to overlap randomly, but they are immediately different after being sprinkled with jam and embellished with fruit. They are even cut into triangles, with jam in the middle, pressing each other in a row.

After making seven or eight pendulums in succession, Xu Qing put all the cakes together for a while. During that time, she wanted to spend a little fish with a brush. However, her technique was limited, so she simply gave the pen to Fu Xitang and asked him to draw.

A small red fish, with apricot sauce to draw fins, looks even lifelike.

Half an hour later, the table was full of plates, large and small. Seeing this, Fu Xitang fully understood the function and significance of setting up plates.

He was a young man of literature and art. He liked poetry and painting, especially porcelain. Painting on porcelain has always been his strong point. Xu Qing's swing of the plate hit his "cute point".

Xu Qing said: "I'm just casting a brick to attract jade. Anyway, you can understand the meaning. It's better for you to use it or think about it yourself. But I suggest that you change some whiter and brighter dishes, and the edge should be slightly raised."

Then Xu Qing drew several kinds of plates for Fu Xitang, from porcelain plates to wooden plates, round and square plates, and even grid plates.

Xu Qing, who has been used to modern aesthetics, of course draws modern versions of dinner plates. In fact, it's mainly a color matching, which is pleasing to the eye.

After that, they went back to the room and talked about cooperation.

Xu Qing hugged the little dragonfly and said, "I can't make Yu Boming's cakes. It's the same with you here. Otherwise, you can give me a pastry chef just like Yu Boming. I'll let him take charge of the cakes in Wangyue tower."

Fu Xitang poured her a cup of tea and nodded: "of course, I'm ready for the candidates. I'll sell one for two free."Xu Qing: "what do you mean?"

Fu Xitang: "some time ago, two Bakers came to Wangyue building to apply for jobs. They were originally imperial chefs in the palace. They were run down by yupinzhai, and they had all kinds of craftsmanship but nowhere to go. So I want to recommend them to you."

Xu Qing: "don't you keep this talent for me?"

Fu Xitang: "wangyuelou mainly sells wine. Cakes are just icing on the cake. Now that you have your cakes, you don't need them. They are young and cynical because they can't show their ambition. How delicious can they make cakes? "

Xu Qing: "these two people are now in Shengzhou City?"

Fu Xitang: "it's in the moon tower."

Xu Qing: "let them come to qingtingfang tomorrow. Will they be willing to come?"

Fu Xitang laughed: "they want it."

Fu Xitang also said: "apprentices can be cultivated slowly, but you'd better have a few confidants under your hand. You are weak now, and you need someone to support you. Li Changting can protect you, but he can't protect qingtingfang. With confidants, you can also take more time out of making cakes to develop shops."

Xu Qing knows that it's hard to find a pastry maker with good craftsmanship now. If there is a suitable person, she certainly wants to recruit her own.

At last, Fu Xitang said, "what series are these cakes?"

Xu Qing: "Western pastry, the west of things."

Fu Xitang: "since it's a series, there must be more than five."

Xu Qing: "of course, but how much you can learn depends on the skill of the pastry maker you give."

Fu Xitang nodded to show that he understood.
