NOVEL NEXT Chapter 173 Strawberry Tower
In addition to chili peppers, Mao Xi also brought back a lot of strawberries from the small orchard in the hot spring.
Ajiao liked fruits and butter cakes, so Maoxi took some strawberries into the kitchen and started pouring them.
The two baskets of strawberries may not be sold out today. Mao Xi first took one basket and arranged for Xiaoqing to make strawberry jam. He also made more than 20 bunches of strawberry candied haws and asked Brother Ying to take it with the fruit cakes to sell on the streets. .
I still have a big basket of strawberries, what should I do with them? Can't everything be made into jam?
"Sister, sister, I want to eat butter cake!" Sister Ajiao was greedy.
Although no one ordered cakes today, making some small cakes decorated with strawberries should sell well.
When Mian Xi was about to go to the fruit cake workshop, Ajiao grabbed the corner of Mian Xi's clothes again.
"Chicken cake, butter cake, sister, I want to eat it!"
Of course, my sister’s wish must be fulfilled first.
Mao Xi returned to the kitchen first, entered the space, whipped some cream and stored it.
The sponge cake was then baked in the kiln.
She originally wanted to make a simple naked cake using cake slices, cream and strawberries, but when she saw the freshly made bunches of strawberry candied haws, she suddenly had an idea.
Putting strawberries on the cake cup, wouldn't it be the "strawberry tart" I had before?
She brought two bamboo cups and started making them.
To make a strawberry tart, you need to put cake and butter in a bamboo cup, and then insert three bunches of strawberries into it to form a tower-shaped fruit.
After the cake is baked, cut into slices that can fit into the cups.
Stack a piece of cake, a layer of ghee, and a layer of strawberry jam until it reaches the top of the cup, then cover it with a piece of cake and compact it tightly.
Seeing that Mao Xi had made a large cup of butter cake, Ajiao thought it was ready to eat and stretched out her little hand to eat.
Mao Xi brought a diabolo cup to Ajiao: "Ajiao, sister will teach you how to make your own strawberry cake tower."
Ajiao washed her little hands and, under the guidance of Mao Xi, first spread the cake slices, squeezed in ghee, and then spread strawberry jam. She was very talented in making desserts.
Then start skewering the strawberries. Four large strawberries can be skewered on each long bamboo skewer.
Insert the three skewered bamboo skewers into the cake cup, and secure the strawberries with the small bamboo skewers.
Finally, decorate the strawberry tart.
Use the remaining cream to fill the gaps between the strawberries on the bamboo skewers with ghee.
Pour on the ghee, add biscuits and two cups of strawberry tart and it's ready.
Little Ajiao happily carried her own strawberry tart into the house and started eating it.
The strawberry tower was so red and festive that Mao Xi thought it looked like a small potted plant, so he placed it next to Zhang Xiucai's cash register.
When customers like it, Zhang Xiucai can also promote and sell strawberries.
Ajiao has already gone to the coffee room to find Mu Zhiyuan to share her work.
"Brother, does the cake tower I made with my sister look good?"
Ajiao took a strawberry off the bamboo stick and ate it happily.
Then, she took off the second strawberry and gave it to Mu Zhiyuan.
While eating strawberries, Mu Zhiyuan saw Mao Xi going to the fruit cake shop alone with the remaining strawberries.
He called to Shu Xi from the window: "Ah Shu, are you going to the fruit cake shop in Kaitang County later?"
"Brother Mu, let me go to the fruit cake shop in the market first. When I come back, let's go together."
After hearing Ma Xi's words of "wait for me to come back," Mu Zhiyuan's heart felt as sweet as butter.
Mao Xi came to the shop, brought some baked cake slices and butter, and made several bamboo tube cup cakes, garnished with butter and strawberries on top. Each cup was sold for 10 Wen.
Xiaodouzi went to school and came to the shop with Xiaopang. When the two little kids saw the exquisite strawberry cake cups, they circled around Mao Xi, so Mao Xi gave them a cup each.
The two children sat at the door of the shop and ate happily.
The strawberry cup attracted other students who had just left school and poured into the shop.
Mao Xi brought the ingredients to make only ten cups, which were quickly sold out.
Using the remaining strawberries, Mao Xi made some strawberry candied haws and sold them at 5 cents each to the other dolls who couldn't buy the cake.
Xiaodouzi and Xiaopang had only finished half of their cake cups when several students from the academy threw pebbles in their direction.
The leader was a tall and thin boy, followed by four small followers.
When the pebbles hit Xiaopang and Xiaodouzi, how could they be convinced?
Xiaodouzi ran over, dug out the ghee and strawberry jam from the cup with his hands, and spread it on the tall and lanky boy.
The fat boy was very strong. He and Xiaodouzi worked together to grab the lanky boy's arm with their backhand and shouted at him: "Why are you throwing stones at us?"
Although the tall and lanky boy was subdued, he vomited lotus flowers from his mouth and cursed: "Let me go, you two sons of merchant women are not worthy of studying with us. My parents said that people who set up stalls and do business are the most despicable people." , you two little bitches, let me go."
The tall and lanky boy's followers saw that they were no match for Xiaodouzi and Xiaopang, so they dispersed in a hurry.
When Mao Xi heard the noise, he ran to the door of the shop and pulled the three of them away.
As soon as the lanky boy's arms were released, he jumped back, pointed at the three of them and cursed: "I'm not done with you! You bitches, just wait for me."
After saying that, he ran away angrily.
Mao Xi stepped forward and asked with concern: "The stone didn't hurt you, did it? Is it your classmate from the same academy?"
Xiaopang added: "Today, Master praised Xiaodouzi for memorizing books well and criticized him. He must be jealous of Xiaodouzi, so he came to scold us. This is not the first time they hit us with pebbles."
Xiaodouzi is already as tall as Mao Xi, and he did not show any weakness when he was bullied today: "Sister, I am not convinced. Why do they say that the son of a merchant woman is a bitch? The food they eat is not all from the hands of merchants." Why do you want to discriminate against us if you buy it online?”
Xiaodouzi said, tears were about to fall.
Mao Xi wiped the corners of Xiaodouzi's eyes with his sleeve and comforted: "If Xiaodouzi doesn't cry, we won't play with them in the future. We can eat with our own hands and feel at ease."
After saying that, he took Xiaodouzi and went to Kaitang County with Mu Zhiyuan.
On the carriage, Mu Zhiyuan heard that Xiaodouzi was fighting with someone: "Xiaodouzi, Uncle Luda taught you good kung fu!"
Mao Xi pretended to cough.
Mu Zhiyuan said, "Xiaodouzi, do you think your sister is good at opening a shop?"
"My sister is so awesome. She knows how to open a shop and cook, and she even bought a new house."
"That's okay. Let's ignore him. The people who bully you are jealous that you study well and have such a good sister. No one else has it!"
Xiaodouzi finally burst into laughter.
In the sugar shop, he helped Mao Xi make strawberry butter cake in a bamboo tube cup.
On the cup cake, the butter is in the shape of a torch, decorated with two strawberries and some biscuits, and the shape is appetizing.
Xiaodouzi and Mu Zhiyuan took the finished products and hawked them beside Lu Da.
Luda was grinding coffee beans at the outside food window to make hand-brewed coffee.
Whenever a coffee buyer comes to pick up the coffee, they will shout to the diners: "Strawberry butter cake, our new product, costs 10 cents per serving. If you buy it with coffee, it only costs 8 cents!"
"Hey~ handsome brother, you don't sell coffee now, you sell strawberries instead~"
A soft and bubbly female voice came, making the tea smell like tea.
Ma Xi, who was standing aside, shuddered.
It turned out to be a young lady who used to come here every day to buy coffee.
She was wearing a pink gauze skirt, and her slender hands had already stretched out towards the bamboo cake cup in Mu Zhiyuan's hand.
