It just so happened that she got to know Manman during that period of time and was quite interested in the cakes she made. When she got the news that Manman and Yuan Zhou were in the same city, she decided to come here. Even if the cake house was fake, Manman's cakes were real. If she could trick Manman into opening a shop in France, it would be a great harvest.
She would be able to eat delicious cakes anytime and anywhere. Just thinking about it made her excited.
Of course, what made Lillian decide to come to Chengdu wasn't the illusory cake house or the goal of opening a shop. Instead, it was a box of red velvet cheese cookies that Manman developed based on the red velvet cake made by Yuan Zhou.
Simply put, Manman used a box of cookies to lure Lillian over from the faraway Toulouse. Even if the box of cookies was a brand new product, the price was still rather cheap.
Due to the fact that Meng Meng had recorded a video of them tasting the cake house, it was originally only spread on the domestic websites. However, the attraction of sweet food to humans was not small. Thus, someone climbed over the wall and saw the crazy spread of the cake house. Then, it was introduced to the internet.
Of course, Yuan Zhou was unaware of this. Lillian's question had caught his attention. He didn't expect that someone would still come to ask about the cake house after he and Yin Ya had spent so many sweet days together.
"I'm sorry. The cake house is a proposal gift for my fiancée. There is only one. This small restaurant is a restaurant and a place to eat. It doesn't sell anything as big as the cake house," said Yuan Zhou.
Lillian's eyes instantly lit up. She almost blurted out, "She is beautiful and rich. She is both salty and sweet. Why don't you consider changing your fiancée? The kind that only needs half a cake house." Fortunately, she remembered the implicit nature of Chinese culture and didn't like to make such jokes. It took her a while to stop herself.
"Head Chef Yuan, your fiancée is truly a blessed girl," Lillian said as she stared at Bu Ling.
One look was enough to tell that she was truly envious of Yin Ya. Only Yin Ya could express such happiness.
"Thank you," Yuan Zhou said.
Lillian addressed Yuan Zhou as Head Chef Yuan not because she knew how amazing Yuan Zhou was, but because that was how everyone on the internet, magazines, and newspapers addressed Yuan Zhou. Hence, it was a form of respect.
"Head Chef Yuan, do you sell cakes here?" Lillian asked, unwilling to give up.
Previously, Manman had told her that Yuan Zhou's restaurant was a restaurant and not a cake shop. However, Lillian felt that perhaps the head chef would sell her a cake because she was beautiful.
Manman had said that the delicious cakes she made were not even 30% as delicious as the cakes made by Yuan Zhou. Although she couldn't imagine how delicious it was, she knew it was delicious.
It could be said that not only was she beautiful, but her thoughts were also beautiful.
It was a pity that Yuan Zhou could even turn a blind eye to Jiang Changxi, who was charming and had a strong aura of a queen. Compared to Jiang Changxi, Lillian was still lacking.
It wasn't a matter of appearance, as each had their own merits. What was lacking was the life experience and fragrance accumulated over time.
Sometimes, a beauty was not only beautiful on the surface. Since ancient times, there was a saying that beauty was in the bones, not in the skin.
However, Lillian was not only beautiful on the surface, but she also exuded an air of elegance and nobility. She did not look ordinary.
It was a pity that in Yuan Zhou's heart, culinary skills were the most important, followed by the system and Yin Ya.
"No," Yuan Zhou said.
When he thought about the reward from the Sea King's mission, he immediately added, "Actually, there are many pastries in China that are very delicious. They are not inferior to Western cakes. On the contrary, there are many better ones. You can try them."
Of course, although Yuan Zhou had mastered the pastries rewarded by the Sea King, he had not thought of a new one.
Most pastries required time to make, and almost every time a new cuisine was released, there would be a matching snack. This was the system's usual practice.
The Sea King's reward was more like a supplement and extension of the matching snack reward. Many pastries that had been lost or were on the verge of being lost were included, which made Yuan Zhou happy for a few days.
When Ji Yi and the others came again, there would be new things to share with them. Naturally, Yuan Zhou was happy about this.
Although the reward had not been released yet, to Yuan Zhou, the matching snacks from different cuisines were enough to let Lillian experience the dessert culture of China.
"Okay, thank you. I will consider it." Although Lillian was disappointed, she still thanked him politely.
When it was about time, Manman tugged on Lillian's sleeve. This was the secret signal they had agreed on before, which meant that they shouldn't disturb her anymore.
Manman brought Lillian here, but she thought that Lillian was just a fangirl of Yuan Zhou. As a senior fangirl, she naturally understood the feeling of wanting to meet her idol. Therefore, she took advantage of the fact that Yuan Zhou might be free to bring her over to have a look.
Five minutes of disturbance was more than enough. Any more and it would be a real disturbance. As the backbone of the Queuing Committee, they wouldn't disturb the business hours.
Lillian wanted to continue pestering them, but she was a person of her word. Therefore, after receiving Manman's secret signal, she left reluctantly.
"Manman, do you think the Chinese desserts that Head Chef Yuan mentioned are delicious? I remember the steamed buns and steamed buns I ate in the past tasted okay, but they weren't as delicious as cakes and biscuits."
Lillian couldn't help but ask Manman the moment she stepped out of the door. Although she had studied in China and was fluent in the language, there were still many deeper meanings that she didn't understand. In China, she mostly ate steamed buns and steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, which tasted good to her.
At least, they tasted better than sandwiches, milk, and hamburgers. But compared to cakes and freshly baked biscuits, Lillian would definitely prefer cakes.
"Lillian, the steamed buns and steamed buns made by Head Chef Yuan will definitely taste good, better than anything you've ever eaten. But the desserts he mentioned are not these. Why don't we have lunch here at noon? I will introduce you to the Chinese desserts and you can compare them with them," Manman suggested after thinking for a while.
This was also because she had a feeling that she couldn't walk anymore the moment she arrived at the restaurant. If she didn't eat here, she would be like a real man who didn't reach the Great Wall of China.
Manman was the owner of a cake shop, which sold western-style desserts. But this didn't hinder her recognition and love for Chinese desserts. It was just that the threshold for Chinese desserts was high and it was really difficult for her to achieve anything. It wasn't as easy to learn as western-style desserts. That was why she had chosen to run a cake shop.
"There is an old saying in China, 'What you hear is false, but what you see is true'. I think what you said makes sense, Manman. We should try the desserts first before making a comparison," Lillian said solemnly.
If one didn't know better, one would think that she had decided on something important in her life.
Since the decision was made, Manman brought Lillian to the main store at Taoxi Road first before coming back to line up. If they walked too far, they might not be able to make it back in time. Having a shop here was indeed an advantage. At least, it was easier to control the time.
