Although Lillian had been to the shop before, her attention was mainly on Yuan Zhou and the Cake House. She really didn't feel much about the interior of the shop. It was only at this moment that she realized that the shop was really a little small.
However, Lillian wasn't a pretentious person. She sat with Manman at a table near the door and couldn't wait to ask, "Manman, what kind of pastries do we want to order? Is there really no cake?"
Lillian still didn't 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 Lillian give up on the idea of eating a lot of cakes and pastries, in case she didn't have an appetite for lunch, Manman specially asked Mengmeng for the original video of the Cake House to show her. Lillian, who was almost drooling, really couldn't believe that Yuan Zhou couldn't make cakes to sell. It was simply a waste of his cake making skills. It was really a pity.
"I really don't have any. Recently, Boss Yuan has been serving New Fujian Cuisine. Can I ask if there are any Fujian Cuisine pastries?" Manman was also a little speechless at Lillian's persistence.
However, pastries couldn't be eaten as they pleased. Most of them needed to be reserved because it took a long time to prepare the ingredients. It was impossible to make them in one meal.
"Whatever. Just order as you see fit. I'll just wait to eat it."
When Lillian heard Manman's negative answer, she felt weak all over. She half-leaned on the table, feeling a little bored. She felt that a life without cake was not perfect, especially without a cake made by Yuan Zhou. Her anticipation was really reduced by half.
The remaining half was because of Yuan Zhou's huge reputation in France and because of the Cake House he made.
Manman looked at Lillian and knew what she was thinking. However, the shop didn't lack the most fragrant things, so she wasn't worried at all. What was more troublesome was what to order.
Even if they had reserved before they left, the range of choices was very small. There was not enough time, so the pastries were usually reserved one day in advance.
When Su Ruoyan came to order, Manman asked directly, "Little Yanzi, what kind of Fujian Cuisine pastries can we order for lunch?"
Nothing was faster than asking Su Ruoyan. Even Manman didn't know how long it took to prepare the pastries, but Su Ruoyan definitely knew. It was definitely right to ask her. This was called specialization.
"Sister Man Man, there are many of them. For example, many kway snacks can be cooked and eaten on the spot. The taste is quite good and many people like them. Also, these can be eaten on the spot. Besides, the boss specifically told me that if Sister Man Man brings people here for a meal and wants to order snacks, you can order mung bean cakes and Longjing tea cakes." Su Ruoyan explained clearly what Yuan Zhou had told her before.
Previously, Yuan Zhou had prepared two kinds of pastries after Lillian and the others left. After all, they were friends from afar. If they didn't see the charm of the Chinese pastry culture and let them leave, it would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, he thought of preparing the afternoon tea pastries for Yin Ya in advance, so he prepared two kinds of pastries in advance. In this way, no matter whether people came or not, they would still be useful.
Because of these two pastries, Wuhai staged another scene of begging for food in the morning. The plot was moving, and the tricks were old-fashioned. However, it exhausted the strength of the black beast. In the end, it only got one sentence, "I can order one for lunch," which was a great harvest.
Under Mao Xiong's suppression, Wuhai didn't cause too much trouble. In fact, ever since Mao Xiong appeared, it rarely did things that disregarded the beast's face. The main reason was that every time it came to freeload, Yuan Zhou would give it some pastries.
Due to the quantity and time, and the fact that Wuhai came alone, Yuan Zhou only gave it a lunch. By the time Mao Xiong arrived, Wuhai had already finished his series of operations.
"Boss Yuan, you're so nice. I'll have a mung, bean cake, Longjing Tea cake, poria cake, vegetable cake, pan-fried cake, and a field snail meat bowl cake." Manman ordered six pastries in one go. She planned to eat these first and order more after she was done.
Manman understood the principle of thin water flowing over a long period of time. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish them, she would have ordered all of them without stumbling.
Of course, Manman also felt that Yuan Zhou's actions were very heartwarming. She felt that Yuan Zhou was really a good boss. No wonder he was her fan's idol.
Speaking of which, although Tang Xi was the number one fangirl, Manman wasn't inferior to her either. It was just that one was superficial, while the other was elegant on the inside.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Su Ruoyan took the menu to the kitchen after memorizing it.
Although Lillian could understand every word that Man Man said, she didn't know the deeper things. The front part was still easy to understand. For example, mung bean cake was definitely a pastry made of mung beans. She knew this. Longjing tea cake was probably a pastry made of Longjing tea. However, the latter part was very uncommon. This really poked at the blind spot of her knowledge.
"Manman, do these things taste good?" Lillian was a little curious.
The unknown represented infinite possibilities. Although Lillian only had half of her expectations now, it was still very high.
"They'll definitely be delicious. There's nothing that Boss Yuan doesn't make, and they look very good." Manman recalled the pastries that Yuan Zhou made in the past.
"Then I'll be waiting." Lillian continued to lie on the table.
The mung bean cake and Longjing Tea cake were prepared in advance, so they didn't have to wait for long before the two desserts were served.
The fragrance of the pastries wasn't as rich and tempting as the dishes. It was quite refreshing and elegant, especially the mung bean cake and Longjing Tea cake, which were served first.
A plate of mung bean cake and a plate of Longjing Tea cake. Lillian first noticed that the two pastries were very beautiful in shape.
Putting aside the fact that the Longjing Tea cake was as green and cute as fresh and tender tea leaves, the ordinary mung bean cake was also made in a new way by Yuan Zhou.
It was still the traditional square shape that mung bean cake liked the most. The mold that Yuan Zhou personally sculpted was very original.
Each and every one of them was arranged neatly. At a glance, not only were the shapes uniform, but even the patterns on the surface were simple floral patterns, but it was very comfortable to look at. Coupled with the light yellow color of the mung bean cake and the faint sweet smell, it really captured Lillian's eyes and mouth, making her want to eat it.
"Why do I feel that it's different from the mung bean cake I ate in the past?" Lillian's big eyes widened even more.
In the past, a classmate gave her a box of mung bean cake. It tasted sweet and dry, so she didn't like it very much. It wasn't as fragrant and soft as a cake. This was also the reason why Lillian asked Manman if the pastries she ordered were delicious.
"This is freshly made, so it's naturally different from the ones sold outside. Besides, the ones made by Boss Yuan can't be compared to those made outside. You can try it," Manman said proudly.
