Chapter 923 Landscape Cake
Zhou Guo tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here when the shop wasn't ready yet. It'll be at least half a month before it opens. We can use this time to think about it together. It's summer now, and there are still a lot of wild fruits in the mountains and fields. There are often kids selling them in the market. We can think of some new things with these things. I'll think about it with you."
The last sentence was a reassurance, and the two felt much more at ease after hearing it.
Although they are good at making pastries, they don't have the ability to create so many things that others have never eaten in one breath.
The master has this ability.
Zhou Guo actually had no idea. There weren't that many things at the time, so many things couldn't be made. He could only try everything.
Melons and apricots are already available on the market at this time. Although they are not cheap, if they are really produced, they will only be sold at a higher price!
You can also try vegetables.
Especially those wild fruits bought from the vegetable market, which can be crushed and added to the noodles to add flavor and color, and the taste is quite good.
The two chefs were very surprised, "I didn't expect that these fruits and vegetables can also be made into cakes?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This cake is also made of grain, what's so special about it?"
The two of them thought it made sense. All food is made of grain, and fruits and vegetables can become more delicious if cooked in a different way.
During the Great Heat and Lesser Heat, I went to the vegetable market early in the morning every day. I also found a few country kids and asked them to go to the mountains and forests to pick wild fruits. I took all kinds of wild fruits and paid for them.
In the past few days, we have collected as many as five or six baskets of wild fruits every day.
Zhou Guo’s favorites are wild berries and weights.
The one she dug up from the wild that year was planted in the yard. Over the past few years, it was moved around the yard as the house was built, and it survived. It produced enough fruit every year to fill several baskets.
The taste of the weight is a bit complicated. She originally thought that it was not suitable for making small cakes, but she didn't expect that it would have a unique flavor after being made. The two pastry chefs liked it very much.
"This is good, not that sweet. I used to like sweet food, but after eating too much sweet food, I feel it's just so-so. Although the taste of this is a bit complicated, it's still delicious."
Erpang and his friends were happily eating a piece of cake each, and they kept nodding their heads after listening to the comments. Although they didn't get to eat that much sweet food, they still thought the cake tasted good.
Zhou Guo also painted many patterns, including colorful flower paintings, longevity peaches, blessings and fortune, and even landscape paintings. However, it is not easy to make beautiful landscape paintings.
Zhou Guo worked on it for five days and ruined more than twenty of them before he finally made this one that was barely presentable.
When Erpang and his friends came in and saw what was happening, they were stunned.
On this large round cake, there is a real painting with mountains, water and birds. The mountains are standing upright.
The two pastry chefs were amazed. “Oh my god, you can actually paint on pastries?”
It's just so beautiful, who can do it?
They can't draw.
Dashu pointed at the inky landscape and said, "Master, what is this black thing made of? It looks like charcoal. Can it be eaten?"
Zhou Guo pointed at Erpang and said, "Let your Erpang manager tell you."
Er Pang laughed and said, "You probably don't know this, this is made of bamboo, it's called bamboo charcoal powder, I didn't know it could be used like this before, it's not easy to make this, after all, it's something you eat, you can't be careless..."
Erpang kept muttering that it was reasonable to sell such a round pastry for five taels of silver each, but it was too much trouble.
Zhou Guo looked at the landscape painting cake with satisfaction. With this prototype, he could have any kind of cake with any kind of painting he wanted. Guests could also customize it according to their own requirements.
Now, the pastry shop’s main dish is complete, and the remaining small fruit and vegetable cakes and breads are just for accompaniment.
Zhou Guo ordered the main cake, and the rest of the work was taken over by the two pastry chefs.
For such a big shop, only two people would definitely not be enough, so two more people were transferred from the farm.
There were two men and two women. The two men were tall and strong, with some skills, and they came down from the mountains.
Yunzhou University, if the shop is full of women, it is inevitable that people will target them. Although it is hard to say who will bully whom, it is better to avoid it if possible. Her shop is going to be high-end.
The people I’ll be interacting with in the future might be ladies and young ladies, and it would be bad if I were bumped into by them.
A few of them had been staying in the village, farming and raising mushrooms all day long. Seeing that many of their brothers had gone out, they couldn't help feeling anxious. Now that they finally came out, they felt so relieved.
Zhou Guo looked at the joyful faces of the few people and said, "Don't be too happy yet. I asked you to come here to be assistants and guards. Our shop is divided into two floors. The upstairs is the private room. The noble ladies will go to the second floor. You must ensure their safety and not let anyone bump into them, otherwise our shop will not be able to operate."
Several people nodded heavily. They had finally managed to get out of the village, and they would definitely work hard.
After about ten days, Erpang's situation had also come to an end.
"Master, the shop is almost done. Please go and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."
As soon as Zhou Guo walked in, he felt the place was bright, clean and comfortable. The surroundings were elegantly decorated, and there were lights everywhere, both big and small. He thought it would look even better at night, and the shop would be as bright as day.
There are six private rooms upstairs.
Each box is separated and has large windows, but one side faces the street and the other side looks out at high and low roofs.
She sat inside and asked Erpang to go to the nearest boxes to talk.
Well, the sound insulation is also good. As long as you don’t speak loudly, the people in the other private rooms won’t be able to hear you.
The entire exterior of the house was repainted, and a rockery, flowing water and fish pond were built in the yard. Although it will definitely freeze in winter, you can still enjoy this beautiful scenery for a few months in summer and autumn.
Such a large scale of the event made passers-by very curious. If it was a restaurant, it didn't look like one as it wasn't that big. If it was a silk shop, it didn't look like one either.
A few days later, when everything was ready, the dim sum shop finally opened.
On the opening day, Zhou Guo invited the storyteller who had come to the village before. She wrote down the stories she had told about Journey to the West and gave them to him for free.
I have made a lot of money over the years by relying on this story. There are so many people vying for the job, but I can't get anyone to do it.
As soon as he heard Zhou Guo's invitation, he came without saying a word.
In order to save face, Zhou Guo added another section against his conscience. Although it was impossible for him to remember every word, his general idea was still pretty good. He had read a lot of books over the years, so he had some basic skills.
It will be very good after a little polish, and look presentable.
This storyteller has become quite famous in Yunzhou in recent years.
