The manual filling process is complicated, and it takes a long time from material selection to processing to baking and shaping.

"I haven't decided on the taste of this year's mooncakes." Lu Xiangyang took out the sealed food box containing the fillings from the fresh-keeping cabinet, "The big brother of the supplier also sent me some commercially available finished fillings, try them all. Try it."

Although Lu Xiangyang's shop is small, it works carefully.For the filling plans produced every year, he has to confirm the taste of the fillings in advance, choose the best plan, and then customize the contents of the mooncake gift box.

Sunflower products must be carefully selected.

The two stood next to each other at the workbench.Zhou Xi looked at the filling bowls lined up in front of him, and instinctively wrinkled his nose.

"This is red bean." He closed his eyes and smelled it, "Purple sweet potato, lotus paste...is there another one?"

Zhou Xi hesitated for a moment and stopped, he lowered his head and made a serious move.

This is an unusual aroma.Gentle and indifferent, harmonious and soft, with a faint elegance.

The taste was too gentle, Zhou Xi couldn't guess it.

Lu Xiangyang seldom saw him in trouble, so he changed into a disposable glove and put it on with a smile, then grabbed a small ball of stuffing from the bowl and handed it over: "Taste first?"

Probably in a good mood.Without even thinking about it, Lu Xiangyang put his hand to Zhou Xi's mouth.

Zhou Xi tilted his head reflexively.He froze for a moment, blinking his eyes quickly.

——Lu Xiangyang was feeding him.

The small handful of lavender stuffing was right in front of Zhou Xi's eyes, close at hand, exuding a faint smell in front of the tip of his nose.As long as he leaned forward a little, he could taste the fragrance on his fingertips.

"Eat? This is delicious!" Seeing that he didn't move, Lu Xiangyang rushed forward to give it away again, "Ah..."

He looked anxious.

There was a sincere and expectant light in Lu Xiangyang's eyes, as if he was hoping for some praise and recognition, he stretched out his hand to Zhou Xi with enthusiasm.

Zhou Xi's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down slightly.With a heartbeat, he stretched his neck and opened his mouth to grab the food in his hand.

However, Lu Xiangyang was impatient again, and his hand moved towards Zhou Xi's mouth before Zhou Xi left.

The originally proper distance balance was broken by him.It was too late for Zhou Xi to retreat, his lips opened and closed, and the stuffing and Lu Xiangyang's fingertips were put into his mouth together.

The world of the two is only separated by a thin layer of plastic gloves.

Lu Xiangyang's focus suddenly spread out.The blood from the fingertips surged straight up, and half of his arm was numb like an electric shock.The nerve endings keenly captured layer after layer of touch, layer upon layer, like roaring waves, violently lifted and smashed, and white flowers bloomed all over the ground.

Those warm, cold, soft, slippery, inexplicable feelings all exploded on his fingertips at once.

He touched Zhou Xi's mouth, Zhou Xi's lips and tongue, and his concealed and concealed inside of the body.

Zhou Xi was also stunned for a moment, he only felt his eyebrows twitch suddenly,

Before he had time to withdraw, the stuffing he was holding with his fingertips spread out in his mouth in a second, and it melted in his mouth. It was soft, waxy and warm, and creamy like coagulation. The light and gentleness was indisputable, just like a gentleman. Modesty, only the original and light fragrance quietly reveals.

The taste of the world.

Zhou Xi suddenly couldn't bear to let go, he wanted to taste a little more, a little more.

He swallowed silently.The taste buds on his lips and tongue were stimulated, and he even tasted the coolness of fresh snow on Lu Xiangyang's fingertips.

Maybe it's because I just picked up all kinds of fillings in the fresh-keeping cabinet, and the cold temperature of my fingers came out through the thin plastic film.Zhou Xiyi lowered his head and stared at him, gently hooked the wet tip of his tongue, and wiped it from the fingertips in his mouth.

The world is crazy.

Lu Xiangyang's whole body burned up, his fingertips trembled, and his eyes widened loosely.Zhou Xi clearly heard his disordered breathing.

"Hand in hand, hand in hand..." Lu Xiangyang was so panicked that he didn't know what to say. He took a step back and tried to pull his finger out, but Zhou Xi leaned forward, pushing him back to the workbench. edge.

The stuffing bowl behind him was pushed and bumped into each other crisply.

Lu Xiangyang's breathing was in a mess, his fingertips were wrapped in hot and humid warmth, soft and lingering, he didn't use any force for a while, and neither did he.He opened his eyes wide in a daze, looking at the person above.

Zhou Xi's pupils were pitch black, piercing like an abyss, bottomless.Lu Xiangyang vaguely saw a faint light in the deepest part of the black ink that had never melted for thousands of years. It was extremely cold and bright, like a burning embers.

He looked at Lu Xiangyang like a hunting wolf.

But he just blinked his eyes, and the light was hidden intact and disappeared without a trace.When he opened his eyes, it was the gentle and upright Zhou Xi again.

"It was delicious."

Zhou Xi let go of his fingers contentedly.While backing away, he bit the edge of the glove with his teeth and pulled it lightly, taking the disposable glove off the opponent's hand.

Lu Xiangyang only felt that his fingertips loosened, and the temperature dissipated, and finally regained his senses.He stared blankly at Zhou Xi with stiff arms, and saw that the other party was looking at him with a glove in his mouth, showing his neat and white teeth.

Usually do not see.Lu Xiangyang was thinking in a daze.

When Zhou Xi smiled, he just curled his mouth, and when he smiled, he just pursed his lips.Lu Xiangyang searched carefully, and there are all kinds of pictures in his memory, it seems that there is no time for Zhou Xi to laugh.

With bright eyes and bright teeth, he must look good when he smiles.

Lu Xiangyang took a hasty and steady breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his arm, and replied blankly: "What's delicious?..."

It's so embarrassing that I even put my hand in someone's mouth.

Lu Xiangyang tightened his apron.The touch on his fingers seemed to be still there, and he could still clearly recall the warmth and softness of Zhou Xi's lips, the sinking temperature.

Lu Xiangyang rubbed his fingers vigorously, so as to force himself not to think about it.

Zhou Xi took the glove off with two fingers, and smiled calmly: "The taro paste is delicious."

The smell he didn't smell just now turned out to be mashed taro.

As a classic role in traditional fillings, mashed taro has a good reputation, but it will definitely not be the first choice for making fillings.Due to the high moisture content, the volume of taro paste is extremely easy to expand in the high-temperature baking environment of processing, which may easily lead to accidents such as cracking of the outer skin and revealing the stuffing.

The failure rate of taro paste filling is several times higher than that of red bean paste and lotus paste.The higher the failure rate, the greater the cost and difficulty of production, so it is difficult to see similar products on the market.

In addition, Boss Lu's own taro paste is low in oil and sugar for health considerations, and the taste is lighter.

"Would you like to try something else?" Lu Xiangyang pushed the stuffing bowl that had just been messed up in embarrassment, "Try a few more?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Xiangyang wanted to bite off his tongue.

There was only one glove left in his hand, in order to avoid embarrassment from happening again, Lu Xiangyang changed his strategy, he turned around and went to get chopsticks from the disinfection cupboard.

Definitely by accident.Lu Xiangyang comforted himself while holding the chopsticks and closing his eyes.

Zhou Xi must have thought the mashed taro was delicious, so he licked it again.

He must have found nothing.

Fortunately, there is an apron body protection.Lu Xiangyang squatted in front of the disinfection cupboard with his head buried, taking deep breaths over and over again to force himself to calm down.

Zhou Xi took a look, and could easily see the faintly red tips of his ears hidden under the hair on his sideburns, which he had tied up casually.

Suddenly there was a jingle at the door, and Comrade Xiaohua, who was at work, walked in with a stretched waist. She saw Zhou Xi and the stuffing bowls lined up on the workbench, and waved her hand in amazement: "Mr. Zhou! Why are you here?" gone?"

Zhou Xi nodded to the little girl: "Well, Boss Lu called to try mooncake stuffing."

"Which do you think is delicious?" Xiao Hua immediately became interested, she hung the backpack on the shelf, her starry eyes were eager to come over immediately, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the stuffing cooked by Boss Lu can be delicious." It's delicious, it's completely different from the finished products bought from outside, it's super delicious."

Huo Xiaohua's words were particularly interesting.She speaks with its own accent and emphasis, and sometimes a word can be dragged on for a long time.

"Wait, I haven't finished trying yet!" Lu Xiangyang quickly took the serving chopsticks and stood up and walked back, "I just tried a mashed taro..."

"You don't need to try it." Zhou Xi tapped the workbench with his fingers with great interest, and made two short clicks, "This is the most delicious."

"Mr. Zhou is indeed an insider." Xiaohua has learned Rainbow Fart more and more fluently recently, "Mr. Lu himself also thinks taro paste is the best. Last time, Mr. Lu gave taro paste a name——"

Lu Xiangyang trembled as if remembering something, he shouted to Huo Xiaohua to stop quickly: "You can't say it!"

But the little girl couldn't bear the quick talk, so she yelled crisply with the end of Lu Xiangyang's mouth: "Yo Mui Bobo——"

echoed loudly in the store.

Zhou Xi frowned, and he looked at Lu Xiangyang with unclear meaning, his eyes were focused and innocent, and he followed and said: "Bobo?"

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

Just ask the heavens, and the earth, is there anyone who can rush over and kill him immediately, and inherit his ant flower by the way.

Maybe it was the sequelae of Teacher Miaomiao's birthday cake list, but Zhou Xi's Q-version cartoon image completely appeared in Lu Xiangyang's mind, pouted with a crucian carp mouth, and made strange noises at him.

Damn taro mash bobo.

Lu Xiangyang stopped the car in his head, dumbfounded, and quickly said, "It's not what you thought..."

"..."

The atmosphere of the topic became more and more strange, and Zhou Xi gave him a meaningful look.

"Yo mash is hard to fry." Lu Xiangyang explained bravely, "When frying fillings with high moisture content, the bottom of the pot will easily burn, so you have to keep on the side of the pot and turn it to ensure that it is heated evenly. This is especially the case with mud. After frying to a certain extent, the air inside will be squeezed by the high temperature, and it will go up. When the air bubbles break through the surface of the stuffing, it will make a popping sound, so..."

Huo Xiaohua continued happily and said, "That's why it's called taro bo—bo——."

"Potato paste." Lu Xiangyang corrected with a sullen face, "It's called taro paste."

"That's it." Zhou Xi nodded clearly, he directly filtered out Lu Xiangyang's opinion, and calmly followed up, "Boss Lu, then I want to eat mooncakes made with taro paste."

Very good, I also learned Huo Xiaohua's key syllable emphasis on procrastination and vocalization.

"..." Lu Xiangyang gritted his teeth with the humiliation, "Okay."

Lu Xiangyang, the owner of Sunflower Dessert Studio, has paid too much for making money.

As soon as he turned around to wash his hands, the message notification tone on his phone rang.Xiao Hua wisely went to help Lu Xiangyang pick it up.Lu Xiangyang clicked on it, and he seemed to have looked back and forth several times, and he was stunned for a long time without any movement.

A look of horrified astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xi's heart twitched, his brows furrowed again, "What happened?"

"It's so sudden." Lu Xiangyang took a deep breath, "There's a big order. If this order is completed, I will almost have all the money to replace the oven."

He put down the phone, and Xiaohua couldn't bear to go up to look at it, and she also exclaimed: "My God! 300 boxes of mooncakes!"

This is a group order requested by a company in the west of the city. It is arranged in advance to distribute welfare gifts to employees. The other party said that they were very satisfied with the sunflower mooncakes they ate by chance last year, and they are very willing to cooperate this year.

"What if?" Zhou Xi keenly caught the point of his words, "Why, can't you answer?"

Lu Xiangyang rubbed his temples with a headache: "I want it the day after tomorrow, but my plan and quotation haven't been finalized yet..."

"The product plan hasn't come out yet, so the cost hasn't been calculated." Zhou Xi raised his eyes, "Let the customer wait a moment. I'll help you after the order."

The author says:

Roast leg of lamb hahahahahaha! ! !

I want to tweet! ! !It's so exciting. A whole leg of lamb! ! !Slice the first layer and return to the oven to bake!And you can slice the second layer!Eat layer by layer!

Attachment: A few words about the description of taro paste were excerpted from the literature before, and now I found it.

These words and descriptions once refreshed my understanding of taro. I was deeply impressed. I didn’t copy it but still borrowed the wisdom and ideas of the literary predecessors. I hereby declare~!
