Making more cakes is more time-consuming and labor-consuming than making more cakes, not to mention it's freezing now. However, Xu Qing agreed without hesitation. She has been an old friend for several years, and she is very happy to help.
30 tables, 10 guests per table, 10 cakes.
They decided five kinds of cakes for each table. As for what kind of cakes to make, Xu Qing was free to play.
But there may be more or less guests on that day, and the final reservation is 350.
Xu Qing thought, "thirty tables Are you too few? There are more than 30 tables in Jizhou city
In addition, some people came with their families, so it was impossible to count the number of people in the end.
Yu Po Ming: "only those who receive the invitation will come. This time, I've already said that we should only entertain our own family. Otherwise, we can't have a hundred tables just because of the Yu family's contacts. The old people don't want to spend a lot of time celebrating their birthday. Some people who don't sincerely wish to celebrate their birthday can't come."
Xu Qing nodded clearly: "very good."
Yu Po Ming looked at Xu Qing's basket and said, "what good things have you brought, I can smell a fragrance."
Speaking of this, Xu Qing quickly took out the coffee beans in the basket, and there was a small can of coffee powder that she had ground.
"I've brought you something delicious. It's either something precious or something I haven't eaten. It's fresh."
Yu Boming never eats things given by outsiders, but Xu Qing and he are his own family, not included in outsiders.
Xu Qing asked him to prepare a teapot, a cup and a small stove. He personally made two cups of coffee for him, one with sugar and one with milk.
Yu Po Ming saw two cups of black stuff in front of him. To tell the truth, he didn't really want to try it. Things like this kind of decoction make people have no appetite.
And he has smelled the bitterness in the fragrance, but looking at Xu Qing's expectant eyes, he still took a sip of a cup with sugar.
The taste is not strange, but it's not bad.
Yu poming: "what kind of medicine is this?"
Xu Qing: "it's not medicine. It's a kind of drink made from ground bean powder. It's called coffee. It can refresh the mind and relieve alcohol. When you are sleepy, you can drink a cup to refresh the mind. But don't drink it at night, or you won't be able to sleep. One or two cups a day will be enough. Here, I've already dealt with these coffee beans. They can be ground into powder and then boiled directly. "
Xu Qing just wants to share the delicious food with her friends. As for whether Yu Boming drinks or not, she doesn't insist.
Yu Po Ming tasted another half cup with milk. At first, he was not used to it, but later he thought it was ok, and it was really refreshing.
Then Xu Qing went to see Mrs. Yu, Gu Mingyue and Xu Yue, and gave them some new beef jerky and fresh honey.
After having lunch at Yu's home, Xu Qing returns home in the afternoon and goes to the park to find Molly.
Molly in the dormitory processing ingredients, because promised Yu family to prepare 300 cakes at the birthday party, while there are still two days, finish early.
It's warm in the dorm, with Kang and stove burning. The pastry division's dorm is more spacious than the ordinary single dormitory. It can put a long table in the middle of the room for Molly to make cakes.
"Why are you here on such a cold day?" Seeing Xu Qing, Molly was surprised. "What's the matter?"
With Xu Qing's character, when it comes to winter, he won't visit everywhere.
Xu Qingshun came to the door with his hand. "I heard that you took the list from the Fu family. Today I went to the Fu family and told Fu Xitang about the supply of cakes..."
Xu Qing talks about the result of the discussion. Molly has no opinion. With Xu Qing's help, 350 cakes can be made in one day.
Molly said: "since we have to do it, let's go to the studio. Chunhua and the primary school students are also free, and ask them to help with the food."
Xu Qing: "have all the workers on this side of the park gone home?"
Molly: almost all of them are back. It seems that there are two left
The situation is getting better and better year by year. Everyone is looking forward to going home for the new year when they earn money outside.
Xu Qing went to call Chunhua first, and then asked Chunhua to call all the apprentices. Everyone moved the ingredients in Molly's room to the studio.
When Chunhua goes to shout, Xiazhi is teaching xiaya to read in the canteen. Wenyan brings xiaya with him.
Chunhua asked Shifu if she wanted to call the rest of the workers in the park. Xu Qing saw that there were enough of them. Instead of asking her to call, everyone got ready and began to work.
This year, Xu Qing was not at home. Looking at the six apprentices, he suddenly found that they would be 18 years old in a few years.
"How time flies." Xu Qing sighed.
After two years of moistening, the young girls who were yellow, thin, confused and helpless at the beginning are all green and watery now. Their appearance has changed greatly, and even their temperament is not the same.
After two years in qingtingfang, they learned a lot. The more they learned, the more confident they were.
Molly: what's the matter Why do you feel so suddenly.Xu Qing: "nothing. By the way, when will Ping'an come back?"
Chunhua: "Shifu, they should be here on the way. They have a holiday on the same day as us."
Xu Qing nodded: "that thought is coming."
After two hours of work in the afternoon, it was dark outside. Xu Qing asked everyone to go back to dinner and come back tomorrow morning.
Winter night is very cold, we put on thick cloaks to go back to the park, Xu Qing also went back to the house to cook.
At dinner, Xu Qing asked everyone what snacks they would like to eat for the new year. After attending the Yu family's birthday party, she almost began to prepare new year's snacks and new year's gifts.
Duanmu ring: "as in previous years on the line, how much to do, do not worry about eating."
Li Changting nodded and agreed: "I'll go out and buy what I need."
Considering that there is a pregnant woman at home, Xu Qing plans to make more dried fruits, preserves and nuts.
"Ma Ma, I want to eat ice sugar gourd." Little Dragonfly asks for Tao.
Xu Qing brow slightly twist, think of new year, or nodded: "OK, do it for you."
Little Dragonfly: "and cookies, steamed buns, lollipops..."
Xu Qing: "if you have ice sugar gourd, you can't have lollipop. You can only choose one."
Little Dragonfly pouts, but Xu Qing doesn't like her.
In the end, the little guy chose the ice sugar gourd.
Xu Qing picked up a big stick and asked her, "do you want it?"
"Yes, yes!" The little Dragonfly couldn't wait to reach out her hands and salivated at the meat on the big bone.
Gnawing bones is one of the hobbies of little dragonflies. This stick of bone is stewed with white radish and seasoned with salt. It is suitable for pregnant women and children.
In fact, since a Ying became pregnant, the family's diet has been much lighter. Only when two men were greedy, Xu Qingcai opened a small stove for them to make some thick oil red sauce or spicy meat dishes.
