Chapter 135: Leaving Her In The Li Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was no wonder that Boss did not have time to take care of things like Xijiang County. Boss was different from some people. Compared to gold and silver, he cared more about kinship and family.
“Forget it. We can’t help with finding the miracle doctor, and those people in the Imperial Capital won’t listen to our advice. Then, we’ll help Boss take care of the business here in Xijiang County. It’s good to make Boss worry less.”
Shopkeeper Xu sighed. “I’m afraid Miss Ning can’t wait that long. What if…”
Shopkeeper Liu glared at him. “Who do you think Ning Xiaoxiao is? She said that she would wait, so she will definitely wait. If she was that person who forgot her principles when she saw benefits, she would have turned around and gone to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant 800 years ago. Lei Wanjun is cunning, but as long as there are benefits, he is willing to spend money.”
Shopkeeper Xu nodded repeatedly. He was also worried. After running the restaurant for so many years, he could naturally see the benefits that Ning Xiaoxiao could bring them. It was not that the two recipes were impressive. He had always valued Ning Xiaoxiao as a person and her talent in cooking.
How many chefs have never been able to create a famous dish worth passing down in their lives, but Ning Xiaoxiao… How old was she?
Shopkeeper Liu narrowed his beautiful eyes. “To be honest with you, 1 not only want to continue working with Ning Xiaoxiao on the business of the cloth shop and restaurant, but I also want to suggest that we think of a way to keep her in the Li Family when Boss comes back.”
“It’s just that Boss isn’t around now, and Eldest Young Master is a fool. After handing the business to Eldest Young Madam, those people from the He Family are getting more and more outrageous just because they’re Eldest Young Madam’s maternal family. I’ll wait and see how they can jump around when Boss comes back!”
Before Shopkeeper Xu could reply, he suddenly smelled a sweet smell that he had never smelled before. The two of them drank tea for the entire morning and ate a few pieces of snacks. However, they felt hungry because of this smell. They didn’t hesitate for long before pulling open the door and walking towards the small kitchen with a clear target.
Xiaoxiao was removing the cake that she had just made.
The simple version of the oven made by the blacksmith was quite useful. As long as she tried a few more times to control the temperature, baking in the future would not be a problem.
The first time, it was a little dry and the surface was a little charred. After Xiaoxiao removed the black parts, the plate was filled with 10 neat and square cakes with different ingredients.
She was writing and drawing on paper to record the amount of materials and charcoal used just now when two figures suddenly appeared outside the small kitchen. Shopkeeper Xu said in a surprised tone, “There’s a new dish again?” Shopkeeper Liu said concisely, “I want to eat it!”
Xiaoxiao cut a small piece from each test piece and gave the rest to the two of them. After Shopkeeper Liu tasted the first piece, he happily instructed that there was no need to prepare her lunch. Shopkeeper Xu looked at Xiaoxiao eagerly. “Miss Ning, can this be sold in our Fragrance Restaurant?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. “This is not convenient. It’s a gift I prepared for my friend.”
“Moreover, strictly speaking, it’s not considered a dish. It’s not suitable to be sold in a restaurant. If you really want to sell it, you have to put it in a snack shop.”
Shopkeeper Xu, who had made her wait for a month, said awkwardly, “Soon, soon. Boss will definitely give us an answer soon after he’s done with his current job.”
Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile and did not rush him.
She tasted all the test items just now and already knew the adjustments to the ingredients. Hence, she turned around and began to beat the eggs. The two shopkeepers were also self-aware. Seeing this, they silently left the kitchen. Of course, they did not forget to take the food away before they left.
Xiaoxiao was so happy that someone helped her eat the test items that she continued to patiently beat the egg mixture. The sugar was added three times. When the egg mixture became fluffy and sticky, she could sieve in the prepared flour. After mixing it evenly and patting it a few times to eliminate the bubbles in the egg mixture, she could start the second round of baking..
