Gourmet Food Supplier
It was said that people were always in high spirits when happy things happened. Zhou Shijie was definitely happy to have such a good thing as getting a slot to drink. Therefore, he specially brought his old friend along.
Of course, Yu daoyi was also among them. Previously, Zhou Shijie had wanted to treat Yu daoyi to a meal, but the timing had always been bad. In addition, Yu daoyi was entertaining Liao wenkai. Zhou Shijie only had the chance to invite Yu daoyi for a drink today when Yuan Zhou served the new pastry platter.
What he wanted to say was the same whether it was eating or drinking. He wasn’t picky. Besides Yu daoyi, Zhou Shijie also invited Ji Yi and tan kuohai for a drink. These two didn’t come for the wine, but mainly for the desserts.
As the two most influential Masters in the pastry industry, they had always held a very appreciative attitude towards Yuan Zhou, especially after he had made the real perfume. The only regret was that Yuan Zhou couldn’t focus on the pastry business. Of course, even if he was working part-time, no one could beat him.
Sometimes, people were just so strange. Even though Yuan Zhou had already left many people in the world of desserts far behind, he still couldn’t help thinking about how brilliant his position would be if he could concentrate on studying desserts.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs. Ji Yi, tan kuohai, and the other big shots of the pastry industry felt a little indignant.
However, they wouldn’t say that in front of Yuan Zhou for fear of affecting his mood. In front of the big shots of the cooking circle led by Zhou Shijie, they didn’t show any good expressions. It was them who had robbed Yuan Zhou of his food. It would be strange if they showed any good expressions.
Usually, they wouldn’t stick together as they were afraid of fighting. But today was the day Yuan Zhou would serve the new pastry platter. Therefore, as soon as they got the news, Ji Yi and the others contacted Zhou Shijie and asked for two places.
Usually, this number of people was enough, but it was obviously not enough today. Wang Huai was also here, and head chef du of Shandong cuisine happened to be in Chengdu. If he didn’t make a trip, he would definitely lose money.
Therefore, Zhou Shijie’s team of five plus his team of six was considered a relatively small number. At a glance, there was no one else who had brought eight people.
Mao Ye was shocked by the number of people today, but as a veteran waiter in the tavern, he was a mature waiter and could calmly deal with such a scene.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mao Ye began to call a group of drinkers to walk over to Sakurai shrimp wall. Everyone carried a small bench. In order to be able to sit down, everyone chose a particularly small bench. Whether it was the tall big guys with long legs or the petite small guys, they all chose the same bench. The style was quite neat.
Although everyone was well-prepared, the space in the pub was only so big. After they went up, they still squeezed for a long time. In the end, under the overall planning of li mu, who was better at statistics and calculus, they managed to arrange so many people.
This time, it was really crowded. As long as I didn’t feel it was crowded, it really wasn’t crowded.
The sobering set meal, cold glasses, and various types of alcohol were served. Everyone tacitly did not start eating, but waited for the last dish to be served.
“Ta ta ta.”
They didn’t have to wait for long. Very soon, Mao Ye came up with the tray. However, this time, there were two of them instead of one. Yuan Zhou was also carrying the tray with both hands. There was one plate per table. He carried three plates while Mao Ye carried two.
In fact, before the two of them walked up the stairs, anyone with a sharp nose could smell a faint sweet fragrance.
First, it was Wu Hai, then Lillian, followed by Ji Yi and tan kuohai, who had been dealing with desserts for their whole lives.
As they got closer, the sweet fragrance became stronger. Lilian couldn’t be bothered to make a leg accessory anymore. She stretched her neck. If they weren’t in the African savannah, no one would believe that she had nothing to do with giraffes.
Just as Lilian was about to snap her neck from the sight, plates of desserts were placed on the table.
It was a very large plate, and the shape of this plate was not quite the same as usual. It was shaped like a curved willow leaf, and there was only one of each pastry. However, the plate that was half an arm’s length was packed full of pastries. Some of them were fried or fried, and some were just steamed.
It was particularly eye-catching. Almost every pastry was in a thousand different forms. Among them, the most eye-catching one was definitely the Lotus pastry.
As a famous pastry in the palace, the Lotus crisp was not only beautiful and eye-catching in color, but also had a rare charred fragrance.
The Lotus flowers in full bloom exuded a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, which was more distinct than the Begonia crisp.
Lillian’s attention was immediately attracted. Everyone liked beautiful things and naturally couldn’t bear to look away.
In fact, the most eye-catching thing was a palm-sized white pastry that looked like a small round mirror. Its color was also quite beautiful.
Unlike the deep and light red and yellow lotus pastry, the color of this pastry was like a dye factory.
The White main pastry was fluffy, soft, and looked very beautiful. On the smooth mirror surface, there were green, red, black, yellow, and other colors mixed together. It looked like a random embellishment, but it looked very unified. With the combined fragrance, Lilian picked it up immediately, intending to have a taste.
Unfortunately, before he could stuff it into his mouth, his arm was pulled back.
“Lilian, there’s only one piece. Let’s cut it up and share it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for everyone to eat all the flavors together.”
Man man pulled Lilian’s arm hard, afraid that she would accidentally send the delicious pastry into Lilian’s mouth. That would definitely not be worth it.
Lilian, who was intoxicated by the delicious food, finally came to her senses. She looked at the plate and confirmed that there was nothing similar to the cake, so she could only agree to put the cake back on the plate.
“Xi Xi suo suo”
Tang Xi fumbled around in her pocket and took out a small bamboo knife. It was only the length of a palm and the width of a finger. If it weren’t for the fact that it was polished exquisitely, one would think that it was just an ordinary bamboo piece.
“Qianqian, you even brought a knife?” Meng Meng was amazed.
As a food streamer, she didn’t even bring such a thing. She didn’t expect that Tang Xi would bring a bamboo knife without saying a word. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.
“Hehe, I originally came here to share the pork trotters. I didn’t expect to use the Rose Mirror cake before the pork trotters.” Tang Xi laughed in embarrassment.
“Is this Rose Mirror cake? it looks really beautiful.” Man man also didn’t know this cake.
“Didn’t I go to Chang ‘an some time ago? this is a famous snack there, the full name is Eight Treasures Rose Mirror cake. It tastes quite good. Of course, it’s definitely not as good as boss Yuan’ s. ” Tang Xi said the last sentence firmly.
“You’ll have to try it. I’ve heard of it but haven’t tried it yet.”
Jiang Changxi was leaning against the wooden fence beside her with an elegant posture. Even though she was sitting on an extremely narrow small bench, it didn’t affect her temperament.
Usually, Jiang Changxi had an imposing manner. However, when she was with young girls like Meng Meng, she was quite relaxed and didn’t look much older than them.
