Chapter 58 Silk Tofu Milk Tea
The clerk ran back to Wuweilou in a panic, Si Li didn't take this incident to heart, Wu You came to her last time with bad intentions, not to mention that this time it was obviously an excuse to inquire about the Yue Palace.
On the other hand, Ah Sheng and Ah Xiang seemed to be stimulated, and they helped with this and that with great enthusiasm, and even wiped the tables in the lobby twice in a row.
Just after noon, the two Ashengs who came to work had already left, and the commuters entered their leisure time. Meng Taotao read a book and took a plate of tofu from the back kitchen shelf.
The newly made silken tofu has been pressed for half a morning, and it is much softer than the old tofu made of champion tofu. It is like a puddle of milky white water in the frame, glistening and glistening. After bringing silken tofu milk tea yesterday, shopkeeper Tang bought several kinds of tofu and tried them out, but the results were not satisfactory. It was not until Meng Taotao couldn't stand the worry of the two of them that he made a plate of tofu, which solved the problem. However, relying on Meng Taotao is not a long-term solution. After asking Meng Taotao to teach others the method, Si Li asked her for a wage of ten cents per plate of tofu. The share with shopkeeper Tang is also calculated after deducting the cost. It was the first time to try selling silk tofu milk tea. Shopkeeper Tang didn't do much, so he brought milk tea cups over after a while. A straw that has been boiled and dried is inserted obliquely into it, and the light tea fragrance and soft milk fragrance waft slightly, the milky white milk tea and the light yellow-green straw complement each other, and the painting on the body of the cup is just a boat with a snowy leaf in the cold river, It doesn't look like much fun. Holding a cup of milk tea in your hand, you can feel that the weight is different from the past. The tender and smooth tofu cubes hidden under the milk tea are faintly visible, as if covered with a layer of gauze, which is very beautiful. Si Li felt a little regretful, the price of glazed products in Daning was still high, and buying them to make milk tea cups was a bit of a waste of money, otherwise, just putting some flower petals on it would definitely be a sharp weapon to kill a girl's heart. However, if milk tea takes the middle-level route, candied sweet potatoes and ice powder take the high-level route. The consumption of one and a half taels of silver is not something ordinary people can afford. Thinking about the colorful ice powder to be made later, Si Li calculated his wallet and decided to buy a few glass bowls. The transparent cups are filled with colorful ice powder, which looks great just thinking about it!
Just as they were counting the expenses, Xiao Qi came in angrily, which startled Si Li, "What's the matter?
" Judge high and low for the adults in the court, who knows how many calligraphy and paintings will be sent by the Imperial College, and I heard that there are two items of calligraphy and painting in the exam, if they leave their names first in the eyes of the adults, isn’t that cheating?!”
Fraud This was quite a serious accusation, although Xiao Qi was angry, she knew the seriousness, so she lowered her voice so that only a few people around her could hear it.
Si Li pulled her to sit down, Meng Taotao's face sank, and he
spoke first, "Is Du Kuang's one among them?" The wine is boasting so much that there is nothing in the sky." Xiao Qi curled her lips, quite unconvinced.
Meng Taotao took the book and left without saying a word. Since it was time for her to read, Si Li didn't think much about it. Seeing that her friend was upset, she contributed the first glass of new product that shopkeeper Tang sent, "Drink it Clear the fire and calm down."
Unlike Xiao Meng and Xiao Meng, when she heard that her ice powder was painted and praised, her first reaction was whether she should pay her copyright fee, and then she realized, such For the second creation, she couldn't receive money no matter where she was, so she immediately lost interest in this matter. "Actually, it's not a bad thing." Si Li comforted, "Originally, the two students of Beijing Zhonghua Zijian and Qunying Academy are famous for their school exams every year, and they have a kinship relationship between the court and China. No matter whether they send the paintings or not, who are they actually? , Who are capable, everyone has a general impression. Sending the paintings over like this, although they left a deep impression before the winter test, but the adults are afraid that they will lose their impressions, and maybe they will lower their impressions. What ?" There is a basis for this statement, Si Tang's title as the most talented woman in the capital is because she is the top in the girls' school exams every year, so she has such a reputation. The capital city is only so big, and the students in the official schools, Guozijian and Qunying Academy, have not changed much, and they already know everything they need to know about any powerful people. "What kind of fallacy are you talking about?" Xiao Qi rolled her eyes, her anger dissipated a lot.
Si Li continued her efforts, "Besides, they used such a method, does it mean that they are afraid?"
Xiao Qi laughed, "You're right." She picked up the cup and was about to drink when she suddenly saw an I was a little surprised, "What are you doing with this?"
"Poor." Si Li sighed half-truthfully, "Take this as a habit, and please take care of me, Missy, don't think the shop is not good enough. "
"Hey."
Xiao Qi took a sip of the milk tea, and the smooth tofu slid into the mouth along the hollow tube. "This is... tofu? How can tofu be put into tea?"
"Just say whether it's good or not." Si Li didn't answer her question, but only asked.
"It's delicious." Xiao Qi nodded. She grew up at the border without much restraint. She was just surprised and quickly accepted this new attempt. She drank while chatting, and waited for her to suck a few When he didn't drink anything, he looked down and found that he had finished drinking without knowing it.
Xiao Qi said regretfully, "I'm still thinking about taking the rest to drink."
"How can I miss yours?" Si Li just asked Xiao Que to go to shopkeeper Tang to ask for another cup of milk tea, "Here, take it away and drink it." "
"Thank you, Xiao Si!"
Xiao Qi stepped out of the door, turned her head while walking, and almost bumped into a middle-aged man. She took a closer look, her face changed drastically, and she said in surprise, "Mr. Qin?!"
"Huh?" Si Li looked at her and Mr. Qin, "You know Mr. Qin too? Some new products, which one do you want to try?"
Xiao Qi was dumbfounded, watching Master Qin nodded slightly to her, and was welcomed into the door like an ordinary diner, thinking of the brothers and sisters of Yue Wangfu who were still going back and forth. , and clicked his tongue for a while: Why are all the guests that the Jingcheng restaurant most hopes to attract gather here? This is a great honor. A poem or a word written by Bachelor Qin is enough to make the merchant famous.
Thinking about it again, no, before she noticed Changlaiju, didn't she just hear that Master Qin likes to eat his French fries? It's just that there were no more rumors later, and she thought it was fabricated by others. It turned out that Lianlaiju had been in contact with the Qin University scholar so early! Xiao Qi's shock was buried in her heart, and Si Li didn't know it at all. It was only when she entered the lobby that she remembered that Meng Taotao was going to read a book. She asked nervously, "Sir, do you want Xiao Meng to introduce you?" Si Li, an old client who came over when she was still in Huang's house, maintained a lot of respect. "Is she busy?" Si Li nodded, "It's dawn in the afternoon, and she's reading in the backyard." "Then there's no need." Mr. Qin said casually, "Ice powder is a new thing, give me a portion together with today's milk tea Right. Which book is she reading?" "I was reading "Shui Jing Ce" a few days ago, and today I switched back to "On Geometry." Si Li sighed, and she could still talk about geometry to Meng Taotao, like others. She doubted that she was illiterate at a glance, so she couldn't help. Because she was an acquaintance, she spoke more casually, "She studied hard every day, and only made one or two paintings when needed in the shop. I heard that the genius of the Du family in the Imperial College painted, ate and drank every day, I don’t know when to read a book, the world of a genius is really difficult to understand. If I have a chance, I’d like to see whether his paintings are good-looking, or my ice powder is good-looking.” Mr. Qin smiled, and the corners of his eyes twitched Laughing lines, looking elegant and gentle, answered her complaints seriously, "It's good to be eager to learn. As for ice powder, you have to taste it before you can judge. However, if you are talking about Du Kuang, then you are not a genius." " You Are you in a hurry to leave?" Si Li has heard Du Kuang praise these days, and even Xiao Qi admitted his intelligence even though she was angry, but she didn't expect to hear another way of saying it, and she was especially curious at this time, even the customer's order I'm not in a hurry to do it, I just want to listen to the story first. "Sit down and listen." Mr. Qin seemed to have read her thoughts, and said gently, "I have seen a child who could write poems at the age of three, calculate at the age of five, and talk about strategies at the age of seven. I took the exam, so I took the test case. I still remember that article." "Wow——"
If this is true, it can be compared with those famous child prodigies and geniuses in history books. At Mr. Qin's age, someone who can be called a child must be a teenager. Si Li asked, "What about now? Who is it?"
Since it's not Du Kuang, then such a stunning and brilliant person should have some reputation now ?
Mr. Qin sighed, "She is a very hardworking girl named Du Xinran. The last time I heard about her was four years ago. I think she should be living a good life just like Miss Xiaomeng." Before The raised curtain between the hall and the backyard trembled and fell down completely. Mr. Qin looked away.
It is always a pity that a genius dies. Si Li followed his words and nodded, "No matter what, if you live a good life, there will always be good news. Sit down for a while, sir, and I'll bring the ice powder right away."
Si Li pushed and stood in front of the door, hesitating to speak Wang Ting went to find shopkeeper Tang to get milk tea, and went into the backyard by himself. The scene where the two brothers and sisters are pasted in place in the backyard will no longer fluctuate as the backyard enters and exits. The corners of Meng Taotao's eyes were slightly red while reading a book, Si Li told her to go to rest if she was sleepy, and after getting an affirmative answer, she walked quickly into the back kitchen.
When she returned to the lobby with the ice powder, Mr. Qin had already sucked up the milk tea. Xiao Qi looked a bit pissed when she held the straw in her mouth, but Mr. Qin acted as leisurely as a wild crane. Mr. Qin waved his hand, "The tofu is light, the milk flavor is strong, and the tea fragrance is light. The blend of the three is just right, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and mellow. The shopkeeper has ingenuity." Si Li was a little embarrassed by the compliment, after
all The idea didn’t come from her, so she quickly put down the ice powder and said, “Look at this.” The ice powder
was made with a lot of effort. Although it was still evaluated as mediocre by the system, everything from the newly added dried osmanthus to the honey water She strives to do her best in terms of the quantity and quantity of taro balls. Maybe it was because this was a customer who had been there from the very beginning, or maybe it was because his demeanor made people unconsciously trust and convince her, Si Li nervously waited for his comment.
Mr. Qin picked up the spoon and lightly touched the tip of the ice powder, the halo was very beautiful.
"It's not as good as this in case."
Si Li smiled.
