Chapter 218 Preference
"Manager Jiang, I'm making a new Sweet Morning Scroll. What shape would you like it to be?"
The cook's words brought Jiang Lili's thoughts back to the present, as her lips curled up unconsciously.
Jiang Lili asked in surprise: "Oh? Can I choose it myself?"
The chef replied respectfully, "Yes, this dish has not been officially put on the menu yet. We are also thinking about how to carve this icing roll. You are the one in charge, so of course we want to hear your opinion."
The cook just heard from the waiter who was serving the dishes that this young female shopkeeper took the main seat for He Xiuzhu as soon as she arrived, and it seemed that she had all the twelve shopkeepers in check and obeyed her in no time.
Thinking about what the cook said, Jiang Lili looked at the frosting on the frosting roll that looked like snow, and couldn't help but think of a poem about pear blossoms: "The moon at midnight, the courtyard is shining like pear blossoms and snow."
The moonlight at midnight makes the pear blossoms in the courtyard look like white snow in winter.
Jiang Lili touched her chin and said, "The icing on this dessert looks like snow. Why not make it into pear blossoms with snow..."
Before Jiang Lili finished speaking, the cook paused when he heard the poem Jiang Lili was reciting, and then a look of enlightenment appeared on his face: "I know, I know what this icing roll should look like!"
Even a crude man like him who can barely read was amazed when he heard Jiang Lili's poem. Just a few words brought out the picture. He clapped his hands and said, "Manager Jiang is indeed Manager Jiang!"
After the chef finished speaking, he began to make the dim sum with a grunt, as if he was making a piece of art.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Fuzhu Restaurant happened to enter the kitchen. When he heard the poem Jiang Lili said, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "What a wonderful poem, what a beautiful artistic conception!"
Jiang Lili blushed at the compliment. She was about to say something but stopped herself. It was over. She seemed to be misunderstood as a cultured person. "You are too kind. This poem was written by our ancestors. It's just that the collection of poems is not very famous and is not widely known."
The restaurant owner shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, no, this just proves your talent. You can even write unpopular poems easily. It's true that talented women are different. You can even combine food with poetry and compare icing sugar to snow. It's so clever!"
Jiang Lili smiled awkwardly, wondering if the restaurant owner could praise her for just a random doggerel.
Recalling the poems she knew, Jiang Lili suddenly remembered some dark history, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened.
In fact, it was not that she was familiar with many poems, but when she applied for QQ for the first time, she chose a screen name and signature based on her own name, and read many poems related to pear blossoms.
She especially remembers her first online name, which was very non-mainstream: Her Royal Highness Princess Lihua*^_^*.
This online name has been ridiculed by the class league secretaries in the same junior high and high school as her until now.
The League Secretary was also on the bus returning to school to see the teacher.
Jiang Lili couldn't help but wonder where the League Secretary had traveled to now.
However, the League Secretary is engaged in criminal investigation. He has a careful mind and excellent skills, so he will not do so badly.
Just as she was thinking about it, Jiang Lili saw the chef put a plate of brand new Honey Dawn Rolls in front of her: "Boss Jiang, I'm ready, please take a look and give me some pointers!"
Jiang Lili looked down and was stunned by the dim sum on the plate. He was worthy of being the chef of Fuzhu Restaurant. If he were alive today, he would be comparable to the dim sum chef of a five-star hotel.
In the moonlit porcelain plate on the table, there were five sugar-coated flowers rolled into the shape of pear blossoms.
Honey flows out from the bottom of the icing roll, just like the branches of a pear tree, or like white pear blossoms blooming on a moonlit porcelain plate.
The petals have a slightly pink edge and are colored with dye made from fresh flowers. They are edible and have a floral scent.
The center of the icing roll is dotted with tiny red beans, like the red stamens of pear blossoms. The extra icing on the plate looks like crushed snow, so beautiful that Jiang Lili, a foodie, can't bear to eat it.
The owner of Fuzhu Restaurant has seen so many dishes, but he was also amazed by this dessert. It has been a long time since their chef has developed a new dish, and this time he broke through the bottleneck with the help of the owner!
The other chefs were also attracted by the commotion here. When they saw the icing rolls that looked like the 3D paintings, they praised them highly and asked Jiang Lili for advice: "Boss Jiang, I have a new dish too. Can you help me take a look?"
"Shopkeeper Jiang, you don't know that the pastry chef has been racking his brains to research new dishes recently. Your inspiration is really great!
Jiang Lili quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, the chef's skills are still better. Cooking is like painting."
The shopkeeper was very excited: "Shopkeeper Jiang, you are well-read, why don't you give this sugar-frosted roll dessert a new name."
Jiang Lili, who was labeled as a talented woman, had no choice but to dig out the names of the products given by those modern online celebrity tea shops from her memory. Jiang Lili thought that red beans symbolize lovesickness, so she made up a name called "Smashed Snow Relying on Lovesickness."
The shopkeeper and the cook of Fuzhu Restaurant already had a filter for Jiang Lili. Now they thought everything Jiang Lili said was good: "Great! Wonderful!"
The owner of Fuzhu Restaurant had a serious and affectionate look on his face: "Manager Jiang, how about this, every time our restaurant serves a new dish, we will ask you to taste and give us your advice. You will be paid for it. If you have any instructions, just let me know."
Just by giving it a name, you can get free drinks and you get money in return. Jiang Lili thinks this is a good deal.
"it is good!"
After finishing the cleanup in the kitchen and packing up all the snacks and dishes to be taken away, the three waiters, each carrying a food box in each hand, brought Jiang Lili to the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Jiang Lili began to distribute the dishes in the food boxes to her accomplices in red envelopes one by one.
Guan Yue doesn't like sweets. Thinking that she is now on the sea with the He family fleet, Jiang Lili specially packed some fruit platters and meat dishes.
As for the sweet frosting rolls for Xin Che, she asked the waiter to pack them in a separate single-layer food box.
He put another sticky note and said this one was for Xin Che.
Jiang Lili sent a QQ message to Guan Yue, and gave Guan Yue a red envelope along with the pastries she had given to Guan Yue and Xin Che.
It was lunch time, and Guan Yue was cheered up when she saw the message from Jiang Lili.
Li Li is so thoughtful. She thinks of me every time I eat!
As Guan Yue was expecting, two food boxes, one large and one small, appeared on the table in her cabin. The large one had three layers, and the small one was only a small portion.
Guan Yue saw that the smaller food box was for Xin Che, and she felt a sense of joy due to the contrast.
[@关悦（山匪一姐）：Li Li, you love me so much! The one I got was a three-layered food box, and the one you got for your cheap husband was a single food box (starry eyes)]
