Even if she didn’t say it, Su Changsheng would have known what to do. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”
With that, Xiaoguo led him to a long stone table in the cellar. This was the preparation table. There was no better place to do the production other than the cellar because the temperature was stable.
“I still don’t understand how to use these tools.”
Su Changsheng followed her to the preparation table and shook his head regretfully. Although he had been to many places and seen many things, he couldn’t figure out these things after looking at them for a long time. He was feeling a little disappointed with himself.
When she was in the capital, Xiaoguo had visited him to pass him a few sketches. She asked him to find someone to build two sets of tools based on the sketches, without specifying their use, only mentioning that they were necessary for making dairy products.
Even after playing around with the two sets of strange appliances in his hands, he could not think of a single way to use them.
Xiaoguo smiled. She didn’t say anything because it was hard to explain their usage in words. It was better for Su Changsheng to see it with his own eyes.
…..
“Do you know what cream and butter are?”
Xiaoguo asked.
Su Changsheng frowned slightly. Looking into her eyes, he shook his head in embarrassment.
“Remember the recipes I gave you a few days ago, most of the desserts require two ingredients—cream and butter. They can both be extracted from milk,”
Xiaoguo explained everything in detail and even demonstrated the process herself. Su Changsheng and Shu Botong watched her every move carefully, not daring to blink.
Seeing that they were so eager to learn, Xiaoguo delved deeper into the details, breaking down each step and explaining it thoroughly. Fortunately, the two students were very smart and understood everything she said.
Xiaoguo carefully demonstrated how to use each tool. Su Changsheng and Shu Botong also tried it out themselves to get a feel for how they worked.
The entire process was very smooth and interesting, and both students became happier and more motivated the more they learned. If it weren’t for the fact that Xiaoguo was feeling exhausted, they wouldn’t have let her off.
The three of them spent the entire day in the cellar, only coming up for breaks when they couldn’t stand the cold or when it was time to eat. The rest of the time, they were completely immersed in the world of making desserts.
As the sky turned dark, the few of them returned home with the fruits of their labor.
Although it was a little late, Xiaoguo made it a point to rush home.
In the next few days, Xiaoguo spent most of her time in the shop. It was the same for Su Changsheng. He only rushed back to the capital with all the milk after making sure that he had understood everything there was to learn.
Su Changsheng had his own special route, which allowed him to reach the capital quickly. Sure enough, in less than four days, he had successfully stored the milk in his cellar.
After that, he eagerly started on the preparations.
He stocked up on all the ingredients that were missing in his kitchen, and carefully selected a few trusted employees, teaching them all the techniques he had picked up from Xiaoguo. Of course, their indentures were all in his hands, so he wasn’t worried about any slip-ups that could occur in the future.
Su Changsheng was well-prepared to begin with. After another half a month of preparations, his dessert shop was finally open for business.
On the day of the opening, many friends came to support him. Even Jiang Danhe showed up. Although he was reluctant, he still followed Xiaoguo’s advice and came to offer his support for the store opening.
Su Changsheng was surprised to see him, but he quickly welcomed him into the house with excitement. It was quite apparent that his “rival in love” had not come out of his own will. Some woman must have persuaded him to come.
Although he had many friends who turned up on this day, they had come out of goodwill. It was obvious that they didn’t think that cows’ milk was edible. It was already good enough that they weren’t turned off by the idea.
Some of them started off by ordering some items randomly off the menu, with zero expectations for the desserts. But who would have thought that the turnaround would come so quickly.
At first glance, they were attracted by the unique presentation of the dishes. The unique design and novel names of the items really whetted their appetites.
The desserts were exquisite and delicious.
No one could have imagined that cow milk could taste so good and that so many food items could be made out of it.
The desserts were delicious, and the beverages were refreshing. The group of so-called well-traveled young gentlemen had never tasted anything like this before.
Those who came for the event were all wealthy people. After tasting the desserts and drinks, they were all enchanted by the items. Some ordered more, while others packed some to bring back home for their family…
For a moment, the shop became even busier and the news spread like wildfire. There were more people coming in than going out.
Su Changsheng was sitting in front of the cashier. He was collecting so much money that he was on the verge of passing out. His smile never stopped, and his mouth was turning dry.
Although he had money, he was still happy to see other people’s money coming to him, even if it was just one copper coin.
He weighed the heavy purse in his hand and almost fainted from happiness.
Seeing the crowd in the shop, Su Changsheng nodded silently and decided that he would expand this business!!
Jiang Danhe was different from the others who had come to the shop. As soon as he entered the place, he ordered all the desserts and drinks on the list. When other people saw him, they thought that he was an inexperienced fool. Later on, they realized that he really had foresight, unlike them now, unable to order anything even if they wanted to.
Helpless, this group of people could only stare at his table with burning eyes, hoping that the other party would be kind enough to share a little of his desserts with them. Even a tiny little bite would do…
Seeing this, Jiang Danhe quietly moved his table away from them and savored the desserts that were conceived by Xiaoguo. With just one bite, he couldn’t help but smile, knowing that his wife never fails to impress.
The more he ate, the more uncomfortable he felt. No! He missed her even more now. He had to take leave this month and go home! Even if he wasn’t allowed to go home, he had to sneak his way back!
While things were going smoothly for Su Changsheng, it wasn’t the same case for Xiaoguo.
An unexpected and enormous surprise suddenly fell upon her, leaving her startled and unsure of what to do next.
The story goes back to two weeks ago…
As soon as Su Changsheng left, Xiaoguo started the preparations for her shop.
Since it was a small shop, she didn’t plan to offer too many varieties. After careful consideration, she shortlisted six items from each category, since the number six signifies good luck.
There were six desserts and six beverages.
Egg tarts, puffs, brioche, iced bun, tiramisu, cookies.
Pearl milk tea, fruit tea, lemon black tea, yam paste, milk-topped Matcha, green tea.
What she didn’t expect was that Shu Botong actually enjoyed making desserts.
Before the official opening, when they gathered together to discuss the need for more staff and what roles they should take on, Shu Botong volunteered to make desserts. He was a little embarrassed when he made the suggestion.
Xiaoguo agreed to it after some consideration. Among the three, he was the fastest learner compared to Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu. Moreover, he was pretty good with his hands. Having mastered all the desserts and drinks in the shop, he was definitely the perfect candidate for this job.
“Okay, you’re up!”
With that, Xiaoguo continued to look at Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling. “Are you two going to make desserts or work at the shop front?”
The two of them quite liked making desserts, but there was no need for so many people doing the same job. Hence, Yu Ling spoke first. “I’ll be at the shop front.”
Xiao Zhu quickly waved her hand. “No, no. I’ll stay in front. You go to the kitchen since you are a better learner than me.”
“You’re better than me. I think you should stay at the back.”
“You go to the kitchen. I’ll be right in front.”
Both of them enjoyed making desserts. Seeing how they were both modest and accommodating towards each other, Xiaoguo smiled and said, “You are both good at making desserts.”
The three of them didn’t quite understand what she was saying, so they looked at her at the same time.
Xiaoguo was amused by their synchronized actions. After having a good laugh, she continued, “How about you take turns? If you’re tired of working in the kitchen, you can go to the front. If you’re tired of manning the shop front, you can retreat to the back. How about that?”
The three of them nodded in unison. “Okay!”
They are a family, so there’s always room for discussion and negotiation.
In the end, it was decided that Shu Botong and Yu Ling would make desserts at the back, and Xiaoguo and Xiao Zhu would man the shop front. There was no need to hire new employees in the shop. The four of them should be able to manage everything..
