The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 58: Opening of the Art Gallery
Zhong Gao was very efficient. The oven that Mu Xiyue wanted was delivered to the art gallery in just two days, and he also hired two chefs who were good at making pastries.
After Mu Xiyue found out, she immediately went to the art gallery to try making it with the pastry chef. The cake still needed to be in the mold, so she could only try it the next day. Biscuits are actually similar to walnut cakes, peach blossom cakes and other crispy pastries. However, the traditional way to make walnut cakes and peach blossom cakes here is to bake them on an iron plate and then cover it with a lid. The principle is similar to that of an oven.
Mu Xiyue and the two pastry chefs spent the whole day making several new kinds of pastries. In the evening, when Xiao Yibai finished his work, he heard that she was still at the art gallery, so he came to see her.
Mu Xiyue was a little surprised to see Xiao Yibai, "Didn't you say you've been busy these days? How did you find time to come over?"
"I heard you've been here all day. What kind of unique snacks did you make?"
Mu Xiyue asked someone to bring over the newly made pastries. "Try them. This is a thousand-layer pastry, this is an almond biscuit, and this is crispy fresh milk. It's made with goat's milk inside, coated with potato flour outside, and then baked in the oven. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This is also called crispy potato balls, and this is called red date pastry. These are not new styles, but they have been improved in craftsmanship, and the taste is better than the traditional method."
Xiao Yibai tried every snack Mu Xiyue introduced to him. They all tasted really good. Even though he rarely ate sweets, he thought they were delicious. It seemed that the art gallery would be able to make a lot of money from these snacks in the future.
"That's right. How come you can come up with such a novel snack?" Xiao Yibai felt like he had found a treasure. Looking at Mu Xiyue's smug expression, he had the urge to hug her in his arms, but he just thought about it in his mind. He didn't dare to do such an extraordinary thing.
Mu Xiyue was very modest this time. "It's all thanks to the two chefs. I just provided an idea. The recipe and production method were tried by the two chefs several times before they achieved the current taste. Are you busy tomorrow? The cake mold will be ready tomorrow. We are going to make a completely different pastry from today, one with a soft and fluffy texture. Qiyun, come and try it too. It tastes pretty good."
Qi Yun didn't dare to go forward until he saw his master nod. He felt hungry just by smelling the fragrance.
Xiao Yibai ate a few more snacks, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow when I'm done. Leave some for me to try."
The next day, Xiao Yibai came over at the beginning of the afternoon. Mu Xiyue was still in the kitchen watching the two chefs tinkering with the food. She only had a general idea of what was going on. The two pastry chefs were testing the ingredients themselves. After trying three batches of pastry in the morning, Mu Xiyue still hadn't achieved a satisfactory result.
When Xiao Yibai arrived, the second batch of the afternoon's hot pot was almost ready, and the aroma filled the entire kitchen.
"You came so early today, isn't it fragrant? Try this. This one came out of the previous batch. I think it's a little too sweet. I've adjusted the recipe for the one I'm baking now, so it'll be ready soon."
Mu Xiyue took a small piece of cake that was set aside and brought it to Xiao Yibai's mouth. Xiao Yibai's eyes tightened and he opened his mouth to hold the cake, "It's really sweet!"
The voice was a little hoarse, with a double entendre, and he felt his heart melted. How could the snacks fed by Yueyue herself not be sweet?
Mu Xiyue didn't notice anything wrong at all. She would put a piece of cake into Xiao Tao's mouth every time she took it out of the oven. Just now, she habitually put a piece into Xiao Yibai's mouth. However, when she saw Xiao Yibai staring at her with an ambiguous look, she realized belatedly that her action was a little inappropriate.
Fortunately, a new batch of cakes came out. After tasting them, everyone agreed that the taste of the freshly baked ones was the most suitable.
Mu Xiyue told the two chefs her suggestions on what kind of cake they could make. Unfortunately, she only knew that flour was needed to make bread, and she had no idea what else needed to be done. Otherwise, if she could make bread, someone would definitely like it.
The pastry issue was resolved. There were still two days before the art gallery opened, and Zhong Gao had arranged everything. All the tickets for the three-day trial operation had been distributed, and Mu Xiyue had been busy for a few days and finally had some free time.
We finally waited for the art gallery to open. A lion dance performance started in front of the gallery early in the morning and quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue jointly unveiled the plaque. The red silk cloth covering the plaque was pulled down, and the five large gold-plated characters of "Xie Yijiao Art Museum" appeared before everyone.
Previously, Zhong Gao asked Mu Xiyue what the name of the art gallery was, as he was going to arrange for someone to make a plaque. Mu Xiyue was too lazy to think, so she just said "Art Gallery". It sounded nice and was easy to remember. The most important thing was the name. Everyone knew that this was still the property of Prince Jin, so no one dared to make trouble.
A private room on the second floor was reserved for their own people. On the first day of opening, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue naturally stayed to see the effect. Xiao Yixuan and two other scholars who wrote manuscripts were also invited to the private room. Mu Xiyue wanted them to see the effect on site, which would help them write better manuscripts in the future.
Mu Xiyue used two hosts, one male and one female, to announce the show in a modern way. The hosts of today's first show were the elder sister Yan Ruyi and Xiao Douzi.
Xiaodouzi looks young, but he has a talent for being a comedian at such a young age, and he works very well with Yan Ruyi.
The first show was a magic trick created by Xiao Douzi. He said that this little trick was taught to him by a beggar, but the beggar went to beg somewhere else, and Mu Xiyue felt sorry for him for a while. Later, she thought about finding a magic artist, but magic was rare in this dynasty, and there were no professional magicians, so the idea was put on hold.
Xiao Douzi showed everyone a piece of red silk cloth in his hand. The cloth strip was about two palms long. He stuffed the cloth strip into the palm of his right hand, which was clenched into a fist. After stuffing it in, the red silk cloth could be clearly seen at the base of his right hand.
Then he covered his right ear with the palm of his right hand and spread out his left hand to show everyone that his left hand was empty.
A magical scene appeared. Xiao Douzi used his thumb and index finger to pull a few times in his left ear, and then as if pulling hard, he actually pulled out a corner of the red silk from his left ear. He continued to pull, and the red silk became longer. He pulled it again and a little more, until the whole red silk was pulled out. It was actually one foot long.
At this time, Xiaodouzi put down his right hand and spread it out, and the red silk in his right hand had disappeared.
There was applause and cheers in the hall.
Such a wonderful magic was something no one had ever seen before. It was novel and mysterious. Even Xiao Yibai was amazed. Xiao Yixuan even pestered Mu Xiyue to ask how she did it.
Mu Xiyue just smiled and said, "I can't decipher this. It won't be fun if I do. There will be new magic tricks tomorrow. You can come and see them again. They are all very interesting."
