The old man put down a pastry he had bitten into twice, and patted his fingers that were afraid of cake crumbs.

"It is said that eating in the south of the Yangtze River is expensive in the imperial capital.

If you want to make this pastry famous, you need to study a lot and spend some effort. "

As the old man said, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea soup to relieve his boredom.

He is sweet by nature, and he especially likes all kinds of sweet food.

When he was in the capital, he could taste delicious snacks with different local characteristics from time to time.

Now that he has resigned from office and returned, he has his mouth full, and he even despises the things from Sixi Bakery.

The old man sighed and felt that the days to come would be much less fun.

Shopkeeper Li knew that the former Jijiu lord was a gourmet with a good tongue, so he didn't dare to question his evaluation, so he had to say yes repeatedly.

At this time, the young man came over and told shopkeeper Li that a woman wanted to see him and talk to him about the business.

Shopkeeper Li just got the order from the county government to entertain the old Jijiu well. How could he abandon the nobleman at this time and run to see a woman?

"Since she is going to do business, you just need to greet her." Shopkeeper Li waved his hand.

The young man smiled dryly and said, "The villain just said that, but the woman said that the villain can't make decisions, and she wants to meet and talk with you, the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Li was just about to let the young man dismiss people casually, but he heard the old Jijiu on the opposite side smile indifferently: "There is nothing left and right, so I just invite that woman over."

Seeing this, shopkeeper Li followed the old Jijiu's wishes and asked the young man to lead the man here.

Yang Mei was carrying a basket on her back, and when she followed the boy to the back yard, shopkeeper Li was making tea for the old Jijiu.

Yang Mei's eyes wandered around the two of them, and she stepped forward and bowed briefly.

Shopkeeper Li put down the teapot, and asked Yang Mei with a smile what business he wanted to discuss with him.

Seeing that the other party was straight to the point, Yang Mei naturally spoke directly and got to the point.

She put down the pannier and took out an oiled paper bag from the pannier.

There is only one moon cake in this oil paper bag.

Yang Mei handed the mooncake to shopkeeper Li and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, take a look at this."

When Shopkeeper Li opened it and saw the round cake bait carved with patterns, he was surprised.

He subconsciously wanted to ask: 'How can the cake bait be made so delicate'?

But after all, he is also the shopkeeper of Sixi Pastry Shop, so naturally he also knows how to make it.

After careful consideration, he quickly realized that this was probably pressed out of a mold carved and polished from wood.

What a clever idea!

"This is a moon cake, made by a little woman.

This time I want to come to the shopkeeper to discuss the business, which is the recipe for making this mooncake. Yang Mei said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li thought it was a little funny, but the woman's tone was quite loud.

He glanced at the old Jijiu with an 'interested' face on the opposite side, and asked Yang Mei: "Sister, do you know what I'm talking about?

We are Sixi Bakery here, a big cake shop that can be counted in Jinzhou.

You come to us to sell prescriptions, what do you think? "

Yang Mei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since the shopkeeper wants to know the answer, the little lady has no choice but to tell the truth.

Two days ago, the little lady bought a catty of moon cakes in your store. After I went back and tasted them, I found that the taste was mediocre, and it was not as good as the ones I made myself.

So the little woman made some at home.

I was thinking about selling my ancestral secret recipe. Firstly, it can save more money for my son who is preparing for the imperial examination. Second, it can improve the lives of the children in the family. Thirdly... "

Shopkeeper Li asked unconsciously, "How about San Lai?"

Yang Mei hooked her lips, and continued: "Thirdly, it also benefits Sixi Bakery and helps the bakery to become famous, so that more people can eat this mooncake that combines beauty and deliciousness!"

Yang Mei's tone was too loud, and shopkeeper Li didn't know how to answer it for a while.

The old Jijiu couldn't help laughing, "It's very interesting, this is the first interesting thing that this old man has encountered since he came back."

Shopkeeper Li just came back to his senses, feeling that he was being tricked by a woman, and he lost face.

He just wanted to sneer at Yang Mei and say, "Don't be greedy for big words".

But he didn't want to, the old Jijiu's eyes seemed to have hooks, and he stared at the very delicate mooncakes, salivating.

"I don't know your surname?" Old Jijiu asked with a smile.

Yang Mei replied: "The little lady's husband's family name is Ma."

These days, when a woman marries and obeys her husband, she must bear her husband's surname, and she will only report her husband's family name to the outside world.

The old Jijiu nodded, and asked with a smile: "Miss Ma, can I try your mooncakes?

The old man is not good at anything else, but he has two opinions on food, especially on sweets.

If the old man says it's delicious, you won't have to worry about selling this recipe. "

Yang Mei smiled more sincerely when she heard this.

Even if it's not simply a 'seller', just the title 'Ma Niangzi' instead of 'old woman' or 'old woman' is enough to move Yang Mei to tears.

God is sorry, she is only 38 years old, she is considered middle-aged in modern times, but in ancient times, she was directly included in the ranks of the elderly.

It was the first time that someone called her "Ma Niangzi", and Yang Mei was in a very happy mood, feeling her eyes and brows flying.

"Of course it can.

This mooncake is big and suitable for sharing.

If there is a knife here in the shopkeeper, you can cut it directly with the knife. "Yang Mei said.

Shopkeeper Li saw that the old Jijiu was eager to try, and he didn't refuse, so he asked the boy to fetch a knife for cutting fruit.

Yang Mei stepped forward and cut the mooncake into four pieces, inserted a piece with a silver pick on the coffee table and sent it to the old Jijiu.

"Try it, sir."

The old Jijiu took it with a smile, his eyes swept over Yangmei's face, and suddenly felt that this woman seemed similar.

Yang Mei then handed a piece to shopkeeper Li and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, please!"

Shopkeeper Li was slightly surprised when he saw the delicate, flat and grain-free fillings.

He said 'thank you', took a sip, and couldn't help admiring: the taste is amazing!

It is indeed much more upscale and layered than the moon group they make.

Shopkeeper Li hadn't opened his mouth to express his opinion, but the old Jijiu over there couldn't help but praise first.

"This mooncake is well made, well done!

Oops, this is the most delicious pastry I have tasted today.

Madam Ma, the mooncake stuffing you made with lotus seed paste is ingenious!

The filling slowly melts at the entrance, sweet but not greasy, with a silky, dense and delicate taste.

The crust is a bit soft and elastic, and it will not fall off, which is a good product! "The old Jijiu gave a thumbs up, and the hand holding the silver stick reached out to the oiled paper package again.

Yang Mei saw that he was getting older, and he was over 60, so she wanted to persuade him to take the right amount and pay attention to the three highs.

No, he raised his head and said to himself with a smile: "Miss Ma, don't you mind eating another piece?"
