Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

What?let me do odd jobs

Early the next morning, Tangyu was brought by Shen Lie to this flagship store named Black Swan Supreme Dessert.Shen Lie's shop takes the route of high-end desserts, so the design of the whole shop is dominated by black and gold, which is very gorgeous.The various decorations, layouts and details in the store also show the elegant and luxurious style of this leading high-end dessert shop in China, and the ubiquitous Black Swan LOGO makes people feel a noble and mysterious atmosphere.

Such a grand store, with such big and bright glass, is rare even in the imperial palace, which made Tang Yu speechless.The top teahouse Yipinyuan in the capital, the decoration inside the store can be described as carved beams and paintings, which can be regarded as first-class luxury, and it is hard to compare with the shop in front of Shen Lie, let alone those streets and alleys that sell rice cakes, shortbread and steamed stuffed buns A nest, a small dim sum shop full of oily smoke.

This made Tangyu, who was still a little worried about her craftsmanship being buried in a mediocre shop, suddenly cheered up, and thought happily in her heart that such an expensive shop must pay a lot of money.

Because it was early, the shop was not open yet, but there were already several waiters in the lobby doing cleaning preparations. When they saw Shen Lie coming in, they all smiled respectfully and said hello.And Shen Lie didn't put on airs, and greeted the employees good morning with a smile one by one, even the cleaning aunt who was in charge of the window glass didn't ignore it.He was already good-looking, and he was even more charming when he smiled, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Tangyu had never seen such a sincere and cheerful smile from him. In front of himself, he was extremely stingy with even a small smile, but to others, he could smile so warmly and pleasantly.At this moment, Tangyu had to admit that there was a little jealousy in his heart.

"Let me show you a few major series of products sold in the store first. After you understand these main products, you will have a basic concept in your heart when you enter the back kitchen to study." While talking, Shen Lie took it from the office. After reading a product catalog, she pulled Tangyu to pick a sunny seat by the window and sat down.

Black Swan's products can be divided into four series, most of which are expensive.The price of the most high-end celebration cake series ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; the mid-to-high-end classic cake series, even the cheapest style, costs more than [-] per pound; There are also many designs and colors, and the price is basically around a hundred yuan, or even hundreds or thousands.

However, because similar high-end dessert brands in China are still relatively rare, Shen Lie’s store can be regarded as supplementing the lack of market demand. Given the large demand for luxury goods by Chinese people, the happiness and satisfaction that desserts can bring are actually not Not too expensive.

And because Shen Lie has the internationally renowned title of Dessert Master, and is the first Chinese national to obtain this title, the high-end dessert shop founded by him has also been shrouded in a golden halo, and soon became popular in China. The brand has been launched and the popularity has been launched.Although the products it sells are at least three or four times more expensive than similar products in other brand chain stores, they are still widely praised for their excellent quality assurance and perfect supreme experience.

However, Tangyu's heart grew colder the more he looked at it, not because of the series of zeros on the price tag.His concept of money is not very clear, but because he doesn't know these snacks with weird names at all.What "Bavarian Rose Cake", "Caramel Chocolate Mousse", "Vanilla Mango Pudding" completely puzzled him.

And the ingredients used in these desserts made him even more confused. What are "French top chocolate", "New Zealand top whipped cream", "Venezuela top cocoa", "American almond powder"... What are these things?Never even heard of it!

The originally smug little imperial master froze for a moment. He thought that within a few days he would be able to amaze everyone in the shop and make Shen Lie look at him with admiration. He began to worry a little.

Closing the album, Tangyu rubbed her hands uncomfortably, and asked Shen Lie who was sitting opposite her shyly, "Why... doesn't my brother's shop sell tea and food? Such as crystal cold cakes, rice dumplings , spring pancakes..."

Shen Lie was drinking the freshly brewed hot cocoa, and almost spit it out. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to sell rice dumplings and spring pancakes in this shop, just thinking about it made him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. "Don't be joking." The man glanced at him, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said casually: "Cocoa doesn't taste good when it's cold, drink it while it's hot."

Tangyu was so anxious that her palms were sweating, she didn't have the heart to drink some hot cocoa, she asked again without giving up: "Then...you don't even sell all kinds of fresh soup and fancy shortbread?"

Seeing the young man's flustered and anxious appearance, Shen Lie seemed to have thought of something, so he asked calmly, "Tang Yu, do you only know how to make Chinese-style dim sum? Can't you make Western-style pastry?"

Tang Yu, who was poked at the sore spot, blushed slightly in embarrassment, and she was bragging in front of him last night, saying that she could do anything, and now being slapped in the face, it was really hard for her to step down.

"I... I can learn!" Tang Yu was afraid that he would go back on his word and would not allow herself to work in the shop, so she tried her best to assure Shen Lie: "I can learn everything very quickly, otherwise, you don't need to pay wages when you are an apprentice !"

The little guy in front of him looked eager and full of longing. Although he was sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa, he still sat upright with his back straight.For some reason, it reminded Shen Lie of the seductive appearance of his body blooming under him that night, which made him really want to touch Tang Yu's tense and serious face across the table, and even more want to touch Tang Yu's nervous and serious face across the table. He pressed under him and bullied him fiercely.

"Then let's do odd jobs first." Shen Lie looked at him with a smile on his mind to test him deliberately.Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, I saw the little guy's pink and tender lips first pouted and then squeezed tightly. Why did he never see such a rich, vivid and loving expression on Tang Yu's face before? Pass?

Shen Lie rested his chin, and watched his big watery eyes blinking at him aggrievedly, and slowly stirred the cocoa with the small silver spoon in his hand, which gradually dissipated the heat, and said leisurely: " What, you don't want to? If you don't want to, I won't force you, and I'll send you to boarding school tomorrow."

"Who says I don't want to!" Although she was really unhappy in her heart, Tang Yu knew that Shen Lie was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she didn't want to be taken lightly by him.Do odd jobs, as long as you put your heart into it, you can still watch the masters' craftsmanship and learn to make those new-style dim sum. He has confidence in himself!

Shen Lie nodded with a smile, saw a pastry chef in overalls passing by the back kitchen, and beckoned him over.

"Brother Lu? Why are you working here too?" Tangyu couldn't help being extremely pleasantly surprised when she saw that it was Lu Shi who she had met at the Huasha Hotel that day.In this world, this is the only person I know on my own initiative.

"It's you! You cut your hair like a junior high school student, and I didn't recognize you all at once!" Lu Shi scratched his head naively, and said embarrassedly: "Just because of the work that day in the competition, Mr. I'm hired."

"You two met in Huasha?" Shen Lie thought of the example of the clear water and white lotus that impressed him deeply, and his heart moved, his sharp eyes glanced at the two of them, and then he ordered: "Lu Shi, help Tang Yu get an employee handbook , let him change into another set of work clothes, and let him do odd jobs in the back kitchen for the first month."

"Yes, Chef!" Lu Shi responded respectfully, and when Shen Lie was gone, he asked in a low voice: "Xiao Tang, you were taken away by President Shen that day, and you were said to be his younger brother? Why, come here to talk to you Do you want to learn crafts?"

"En." Tangyu knew that the relationship between herself and Shen Lie was really embarrassing, and it was difficult to explain it clearly to others, so she could only answer vaguely.Fortunately, Lu Shi was honest and didn't ask any more questions.

Putting on the white uniform that Lu Shi handed him, the young man stepped into the back kitchen of a top dessert shop for the first time.This is a place completely different from the imperial dining room. The shiny silver equipment and desks are clean and bright under the light, and there is a faint sweet fragrance floating in the air, which seems to make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts. Feel.

Tangyu suddenly felt that it was a blessing among misfortunes that he could meet Shen Lie when he came to this world.Even if Shen Lie bullies him again, he can still stand in a place no worse than the imperial dining room, and he can still do what he likes the most.

Just as I was thinking about it, my heart was surging, and suddenly I got a thump on my forehead.Tang Yu turned her head angrily, and saw Shen Lie's domineering and cold face in front of her eyes.At this moment, he has changed into a black executive chef uniform inlaid with gold. A gold silk satin scarf has been punched into a beautiful shape around his neck. The buttons and cufflinks printed with the Black Swan LOGO are shining golden, which complements his His eyes were shining brightly.

"Why are you in a daze? Still not working!"

Tangyu touched the head that had been beaten for no reason, and responded angrily.This person is really not a good thing!Whenever I started to have the slightest liking for him, he would immediately jump out and crush this feeling unceremoniously.

"In my kitchen, no matter at any time and any place, no matter what I say to you is order or guidance, reprimand or praise, you need to immediately answer Yes loudly, Chef!" Shen Lie reprimanded , in front of so many pastry chefs, she showed no mercy to Tangyu.

"Choke to death...crab man!" Tangyu followed suit, and gave a big mouthful from the bottom of her heart, unable to choke.
