There is no doubt about the efficiency of the Duke's Mansion. The room was tidied up in just a few days.
Because the cakes still needed some advice, Ning Jiayin moved the store first. She gave the store a name: "Jiawei". She originally planned to cook some Lao Ganma, who will be a household name in later generations, to add new products to the store, but it was too much. Since they were short of manpower, they had no choice but to give up and ordered Wang Erhu and Liu Jin to move the original items into the shop. When everything was packed up and the small room was clean and tidy, Wang Erhu couldn't stop laughing when he saw the same clothes as Liu Jin. It’s great to follow the four girls.
Liujin teased him: "Erhu, is your mother going to give you a wife?"
"How do you know? Mom just told me last night." Wang Erhu touched the back of his head.
Is this really happening? Everyone laughed, and Erhu was even more embarrassed.
What Ning Jiayin saw when she arrived was the scene of customers and clerks laughing together.
She encouraged everyone: "If you work hard, you will all live a good life."
Erhu and Liujin looked at their girl with admiration. Everything the girl said was true.
Mrs. Du, the shop owner of the Duke's Mansion, asked Ning Jiayin to give her a name: "You made everything, so it's natural for you to pick the name."
Naturally, she was very happy to be close to Ning Jiayin, and she didn't hesitate to give it a name from her previous life: "Cake Shop"
After staying in the store for a few days, the store not only had cakes and bread, but also something called a birthday cake.
Every step of baking the cake base, whipping the cream, and decorating is taught extremely carefully.
The cake base is easy to bake, just follow the size and place it on a large white porcelain plate when making it.
Ning Jiayin asked a woman to separate the egg whites and yolks of the eggs. She chose an energetic young man to use the hand mixer she had prepared in advance to add sugar and milk in batches and stir vigorously. Stirring vigorously, the contents in her hands gradually It became as soft as a white cloud. The ladies and waiters in the shop were so surprised that their eyes widened. The bolder one took up the spilled liquid with his fingers and carefully put it to his mouth. Hey, it's so sweet. eat.
When the shop is drying up, a lot of cream will be needed, so Ning Jiayin prepared a few more stirrers, and those who are more energetic can take turns stirring, but this is not her business, she only needs to teach them how to do it.
The next step is to decorate the cake embryo, which is only one foot square. The upper and lower layers are covered with two layers of white cream. Ning Jiayin mixes some cream with the vegetable juice and rose juice prepared in advance, and puts them on triangular oil paper. In the bag, cut off the tip a little, Ning Jiayin picked it up, held it in the palm of his hand, and moved the word "shou" back and forth, and it appeared in the middle of the cake, and then moved several small peaches back and forth to appear around the word "shou".
Everyone around them exclaimed, and Ning Jiayin said: "Choose someone who is skilled in painting this. You can paint whatever you think of. When guests order birthday cakes, you can also ask the guests in advance, and you can paint whatever they want." Whatever you want to draw. As for the color, you can use vegetable juice, fruit juice, or flower juice."
She took out some small animal models and asked the assistant to test them on the spot. The small animals that came out were really lifelike. The guys all admired the girl in front of them. There are many noble ladies and princesses in Beijing, and they are guaranteed to like these things.
Mrs. Du looked at the girl with a faint smile in front of her: I don’t know how much money she could make from this thing, but she taught it without any secret.
She stepped forward and took the little girl's hand: "You can do this business yourself."
Ning Jiayin's smile remained undiminished: "Madam, don't worry too much, it's just a business that can't compare to Madam's love for the Ning family and me."
Mrs. Du stopped talking for a moment. In fact, it was she who saved her life first, and then they had the intention to protect them. However, this little girl never mentioned her life-saving grace, and the Duke's Palace protected them with a single effort. She But it gave back so much.
Based on the experience of the previous life, the cake shop opened on a trial basis for a few days. Firstly, the guys can practice their skills, and secondly, they can look for shortcomings. Some things need to be done in practice to find problems.
But she didn't want to accept a big advertisement on the day of trial opening. It turned out that the Queen Mother's birthday was coming. King Jin knew that they were making birthday cakes and came to customize one. After receiving the news, Mrs. Du sent a message to Ning Jiayin and asked her to come and check it in person. After all, It's the Queen Mother's birthday, and the people who go there are all noble people. It's the first time to give this gift to someone, so don't be careful.
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Ning Jiayin came to the shop early. She had already thought about it and made a four-layer cake with a diameter of two feet. In the middle of the upper layer was a big pink peach with the words "Fu Ru Dong Hai Shou" written in red on it. In Binan Mountain, the big peach is surrounded by a circle of small peaches. The small pink peaches are very cute next to each other. The two layers in the middle are filled with seasonal fruits, and the bottom layer is full of flowers in different colors, which is very lively.
The guys surrounded the girl and exclaimed one after another. This is what King Jin saw when he arrived. The girl was wearing a green outer robe today. Because of her hurry, a drop of cream splashed on her left cheek. Jin Wang's hand was itchy, and he wanted to wipe it off with her fingertips, but she smiled sweetly at him: "Your Majesty, please check and accept it. If you are satisfied, I will frame it."
He retracted his outstretched hand secretly: "Very good!"
Hey, words are cherished like gold, Ning Jiayin muttered softly. While taking out the special box, he carefully put the cake in it, tied it with a ribbon and a bow like later generations, and then handed it to King Jin.
Prince Jin took it and was about to turn around and leave when Ning Jiayin shouted again, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
King Jin turned around and saw the girl handing over some food boxes: "The Queen Mother is old and needs to eat less sweets. These boxes are specially made for her old lady without sugar and only contain honey. The other boxes are made for her." It can be given to children.”
King Jin thanked him: "You're interested!" He signaled Fufeng to give him the money, and Ning Jiayin waved his hand and said, "Although the shop is not mine, I can decide whether to accept the money for this little thing, so it's just an advertisement."
"Advertisement?" King Jin was confused.
Ning Jiayin just took advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to promote it, and Ning Jiayin had an awkward smile on her face. Chunni was really embarrassed to look at her master next to her.
King Jin left expressionlessly, but his heart was in turmoil. This little girl was really an unsolvable mystery.
"Wait a minute." Just thinking about her cute smile just now, King Jin stopped when he heard her call again. "My lord, you have to watch these food carefully. There are so many people today, so don't let others get into trouble. Please take it." He left cleanly.”
After hearing this, King Jin's lips trembled and he left without raising his head. He is so naive at such a young age!
Later, I heard from Mrs. Du that when the banquet started, King Jin presented the birthday cake, and everyone exclaimed. Just looking at the appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't close her mouth. She said that King Jin had intentions, and King Jin cut the longevity peach with a wooden knife. Then he put it on a porcelain plate and presented it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took a bite and it melted in her mouth. It was soft and sweet, and she smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
He quickly ordered to go down and share it with everyone. It was the first time for all the ladies to eat such delicious food, and they all asked where they could eat it. The result of the inquiry was that Mrs. Du had become the envy of everyone, and the shop had not yet opened. It became popular among the rich.
