2587 Different from the outside
Although Lillian had been to the restaurant before, her main attention was on Yuan Zhou and the cake shop. She didn’t have much feeling about the interior of the restaurant. Only now did she realize that the store was really a little small.
However, Lilian wasn’t a pretentious person. She sat with man man at a two-table table near the door and then couldn’t wait to say,””Manman, let’s order some desserts. Are we really not going to order any cakes?”
Lilian still didn’t want to give up. She really wanted to try the cake made by the chef who could make such a dreamy Cake House.
In order to make Lilian give up the idea of eating lots of cake and Western desserts and in case she couldn’t eat anything at noon, man man specially asked Meng Meng for the original video of the previous Cake House and showed it to her. Lilian, who was almost drooling, really couldn’t believe why Yuan Zhou couldn’t make cakes and sell them. It was simply a waste of his cake-making skills. It really made her feel regretful.
“I really don’t have any. Recently, boss Yuan has been serving new Fujian cuisine. Let me ask if there are any snacks of Fujian cuisine.” Man man was also a little speechless at Lilian’s stubbornness.
However, desserts couldn’t be eaten at will. Most of them had to be pre-ordered because it took a long time to prepare the ingredients. It was impossible to make them in one meal.
“Then anything is fine. Just keep an eye on the food. I’ll just wait to eat.”
As soon as Lillian heard man man’s negative answer, she felt so bored that she half laid on the table. She felt that life without cake was not perfect, especially without the cake made by Yuan Zhou. Her anticipation could be halved.
The remaining half was due to Yuan Zhou’s great fame in France and The Cake House he made.
At the sight of Lilian’s expression, man man knew what she was thinking about. However, the only thing that the small restaurant didn’t lack was the true fragrance theorem, so she wasn’t worried about it at all. What she was more worried about was what she should order.
Even if they had reserved a range of choices before they left, there was not much time. The desserts were usually reserved a day in advance.
When su Ruoyan came over with her order, man man asked directly,””Xiao Yanzi, what kind of min cuisine snacks can be ordered at noon?”
There was nothing faster than asking su Ruoyan. Even for man man, she didn’t know how long it would take to prepare any of the desserts. However, su Ruoyan definitely knew. Asking her would definitely be the right thing to do. This was called ‘every profession has its own specialty’.
“Sister man man has a lot of them. For example, many cream-based desserts can be made and eaten on the spot. They taste quite good and many people like them. And this, these are also okay. Also, the boss specially told me that if sister man man brings people here for a meal and wants some desserts, I can tell you to order mung bean cakes and Longjing tea pastries.” Su Ruoyan explained what Yuan Zhou had told her before clearly.
Previously, Yuan Zhou had prepared two kinds of desserts after Lillian and the others left. After all, they were his friends from afar. It would be embarrassing if he let them leave before they had even experienced the charm of Chinese pastry culture.
Therefore, he prepared two kinds of desserts for Yin ya in advance. In this way, they would be useful regardless of whether she came or not.
Because of the two desserts, Wu Hai performed the story of begging again in the morning. The plot was touching and the tricks were old-fashioned. However, he had exhausted the power of the Black Beast. In the end, he only got the sentence that he could order one serving at lunch. This was also a great harvest.
Under the suppression of the hairy bear, Wu Hai didn’t cause much trouble. In fact, ever since he had the hairy bear, he rarely did things that didn’t care about the beast’s face anymore. The main reason was that Yuan Zhou would always give him some food every time he came here to eat.
It was also because of the quantity and the time, plus Wu Hai came here alone, that Yuan Zhou only allowed him to order the dishes at noon. By the time the bear arrived, Wu Hai had already finished all the procedures.
“Boss Yuan, that’s so nice. I’d like a mung bean cake, Longjing tea pastries, Poria Cocos cake, a vegetable cake, a pan-fried cake and a conch meat bowl cake.” Man man ordered six desserts in one go. She planned to eat these first and then order them later.
Man man still understood the principle of ‘a little water flows a long way’. In fact, if she was not afraid that she would not be able to finish it, she could order it all in one go without any hiccups.
Of course, man man also felt quite warm when she saw Yuan Zhou’s actions. She felt that Yuan Zhou was really a good boss and was indeed worthy of being her idol.
Although Tang Xi was the number one fangirl, man man was not inferior to her. It was just an external appearance and an internal appearance.
“Alright, please wait a moment.” Su Ruoyan took the menu to the kitchen after memorizing it.
Although Lilian could understand every word that man man said, she didn’t know the deeper meaning behind it. The first part was easier to understand. For example, mung bean cake was definitely a pastry made of mung beans. She knew that. Longjing tea cake was probably a pastry made of Longjing tea. However, the latter part was very unfamiliar, which really poked her blind spot in knowledge.
“Manman, are these things delicious?” Lillian was curious.
The unknown represented infinite possibilities. Even though Lilian only had half of her expectations, it was still very high.
“It’s definitely very delicious. There’s never anything boss Yuan cooks that isn’t delicious. Moreover, it looks very good. ” Man man suddenly recalled the snacks that Yuan Zhou had cooked before.
“I’ll be waiting then. ” Lilian was still lying on the table.
The mung bean cake and Longjing tea pastries had been prepared in advance, so it didn’t take long for them to be served.
The fragrance of the desserts was not as rich and alluring as that of the dishes. It was quite fragrant and elegant, especially the mung bean cake and Longjing tea pastries that were served first, which had a light fragrance.
A plate of green bean cakes and a plate of Longjing tea pastries. The first thing Lilian noticed was the beautiful shape of the two pastries.
Not to mention the Longjing tea pastries, which were as green and lovely as fresh tea leaves, even the ordinary mung bean cake had been played with by Yuan Zhou in a new way.
It was still in the square shape that the traditional green bean cakes liked the most. The mold carved by Yuan Zhou himself was still unique and ingenious.
The green bean cakes were arranged neatly. At a glance, not only were their shapes uniform, but the simple floral patterns on them were also very comfortable to look at. Coupled with the light yellow color of the green bean cakes and the faint sweet fragrance, Lilian’s eyes and mouth were immediately captured, and she wanted to eat them.
“Why does it feel different from the green bean cakes I used to eat?” Lilian’s eyes widened even more.
In the past, a classmate had given her a box of mung bean cake, which was sweet and dry. She didn’t like it very much as it wasn’t as fragrant and soft as a cake. This was also the reason why Lilian asked man man if the desserts she ordered were delicious.
“It’s freshly made, so it’s naturally different from the ones sold outside. Besides, boss Yuan’s dishes can’t be compared with those sold outside. You can try it,” Man man said proudly.
