Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The sun is shining brightly today, and around noon, more and more people are walking on the road.

The warm sunshine sprinkled on the earth, giving people a warm feeling. From time to time, passers-by were attracted by Tao Jiuxi's stall and took the initiative to sit in front of her.

Tao Jiuxi asked people to shake the lot. If a good lot was drawn, she would praise it endlessly; if a bad lot was drawn, she would break it decisively. In this way, there were fewer and fewer bad lots in the lot bucket.

However, the amount of silver did not increase. This was because Tao Jiuxi only said that the amount should be paid according to the wishes of the seekers, without stipulating a specific amount.

"Sir, I'm here to deliver some cakes."

Li Dachun came to Tao Jiuxi hurriedly with a lunch box.

He skillfully opened the food box and neatly arranged the plates of exquisite snacks.

This is the time Tao Jiuxi looks forward to most every day. Li Dachun's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. His dim sum is made with great delicacy, which makes people's appetite increase at the first sight.

"Today I asked you to work on the theme of plum blossoms, and your work is indeed better than yesterday." Tao Jiuxi picked up a piece of dessert, looked at it carefully, and then tasted it one by one.

Li Dachun nervously observed Tao Jiuxi's expression, hoping to satisfy him.

"Brother Li, please make this more exquisite. I told you yesterday that this is sold to rich people. The taste of your dish should be lighter. Officials eat well and don't like the kind that is too greasy." Tao Jiuxi commented while eating snacks.

Li Dachun listened carefully. He knew that although his pastries were exquisitely made, they did lack some unique features.

"Sir, you're right. Try this set of yellow winter plums."

Li Dachun picked up another plate of pastries from the lunch box. On the pure white plate were cakes with pure yellow stamens, truly resembling delicate yellow wintersweets.

"This is not the yellow wintersweet. This kind is called: Hanxiangke. The one we just ate is called: Jiangxuemei." Tao Jiuxi had already thought of these names yesterday, and asked Li Dachun to echo the names when making pastries.

She picked up another piece of cake and tasted it, then said affirmatively, "This set has just the right sweetness. When you go back, try experimenting with a few more styles. For Jiang Xuemei's set, add two white cakes and shape them into snowballs."

"Okay, sir. I'll make it again tomorrow and show it to you."

"Tomorrow you will make another set of 'Persimmon Ruyi'. The drawings are right here. As for the materials, you can decide for yourself."

Li Dachun took notes carefully and was full of admiration for the young man.

On the first day, he made almost all the pastries he knew how to make, but after tasting them, Tao Jiuxi said that although these pastries were exquisite in style, they looked very messy.

It's okay to set up a stall on the roadside to sell it, but if you really open a dim sum shop, it will be difficult to sustain.

So, Tao Jiuxi gave Li Dachun an idea.

First, according to the distinct four seasons, seasonal snacks were made for each season; several sets of pastries with themes of music, chess, calligraphy and painting were also made for use in gatherings of literati; and two drawings were drawn to design some pastries that children would like.

Not only that, Tao Jiuxi also wanted to make several sets of pastries for different scenes, such as coming-of-age ceremonies, New Year, birthdays, etc., with different pastry styles.

Li Dachun was already impressed by the idea of ​​appearance, and Tao Jiuxi could also give some advice on the taste.

Pastries with high prices and relatively complex styles should be light in taste. It is said that rich people have no shortage of food and drink and like to eat lighter food.

Poor families have very little oil and water, so their pastries should be sweeter to be more popular.

Li Dachun felt that Tao Jiuxi had simply opened the door to his knowledge. It turned out that there were so many tricks to making pastries.

Tao Jiuxi picked up a few more pieces of snacks and chewed them slowly.

Li Dachun was really very perceptive. He hurried to the tea shop nearby and soon brought a bowl of tea, which he presented to Tao Jiuxi with both hands.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal." Li Dachun's tone was extremely respectful, and his expression was full of attentiveness.

"Brother Li, I know your wife just gave birth a few days ago, but it would be best if our shop could open before the New Year. Business is always the most prosperous time before the New Year. If the business is booming right from the start, it will naturally be more popular in the future." After Tao Jiuxi finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, as if imagining a bright future for the shop.

"You are absolutely right, sir. My ten-year-old daughter can help with household matters, so you don't have to worry about me." Li Dachun was filled with panic, fearing that Tao Jiuxi would be dissatisfied with him.

Now, he was in awe of Tao Jiuxi's abilities and only wanted to cling to him tightly. He felt that by following this young man, his life might change dramatically.

After eating, Tao Jiuxi carefully put the remaining cakes into the food box, then reached into his waist and took out his purse, took out ten taels of silver from it, and handed it to Li Dachun.

"Take this money and buy a suitable piece of clothing from the clothing store on your way back. Then go to East Street and look carefully to see if there is a suitable shop." Tao Jiuxi's eyes were full of expectation, as if he had already seen the prosperous dim sum shop in the future.

Li Dachun was reluctant to take any more money from Tao Jiuxi, but when he looked down at the coarse linen clothes on his body, he knew that if he went out to look for a shop like this, the owners of the bigger shops would certainly ignore him.

"Sir, how big a shop do you need?" Li Dachun asked respectfully.

"A shop with three rooms is a bit small. You can go and look for a shop with five rooms, preferably with two floors." Tao Jiuxi put his hands behind his head, slightly raised his face, and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

"The dim sum shop has to be so big?" Li Dachun widened his eyes, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"The dim sum I want to make will naturally be different from those sold in ordinary dim sum shops. Just go and look for it, and don't worry about anything else. After you find it, I will negotiate the price with you." Tao Jiuxi's tone was firm and confident, making people involuntarily believe that her plan would succeed.

"I will definitely do as you say, sir."

Li Dachun held the food box and bowed respectfully.

Tao Jiuxi waved her hand with a smile, indicating that he could go back.

Li Dachun turned and left, his heart full of anticipation and enthusiasm. He secretly made up his mind to find a shop that would satisfy the young master and make him feel that he was a reliable person.
