Shopkeeper Li shouted to the inside: "Master Peng, come here."
Master Peng looked about fifty years old, with some gray hair combed shiny, and looked at Very energetic.
He is a master chef in the teahouse. With his good skills, he has won the love of many customers. Shopkeeper Li liked him very much and gave him the cakes this time.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"
"Master Peng, this is the person who made the pastry yesterday." Shopkeeper Li pointed at Chen Wanbai and introduced.
Master Peng was a kind man and did not look down upon Chen Wanbai because of her young age. He was just stunned for a moment and then praised: "The little girl is amazing and her skills are extraordinary."
yesterday.
After Chen Wanbai left, shopkeeper Li asked Gouzi to go to the back kitchen to invite Master Peng. Shopkeeper Peng followed Gouzi to Shopkeeper Li's study for no apparent reason. As soon as he entered, he noticed a small plate of pastries on the table.
Eye-catching is not a craft made in one’s own teahouse.
Without waiting for Shopkeeper Li to speak, Master Peng took the lead and asked: "Shopkeeper, which pastry shop bought this?"
The teahouse is also a partnership with other pastry shops. Some, such as Wangji’s plum blossom cake in town, are a must-have. In winter, they are just the best-selling cakes in teahouses.
Shopkeeper Li took his time, smiled and said nothing, and gently tapped the plate of pastries with his finger: "Try it before you talk."
Master Peng looked at what was on the plate. There are pastries in three colors, white, yellow and green. He reached for a piece of white pastry and took a bite.
As soon as you enter the mouth, the soft and waxy texture has a hint of sweetness, and the light fragrance spreads in your mouth. Master Peng narrowed his eyes involuntarily, his expression showing approval.
"The pastry tastes really good," he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The most important thing is that I can't taste the raw materials."
Shopkeeper Li He smiled and nodded, as if he had expected Master Peng to have such a reaction. He said slowly: "This is made of yam."
"What is yam?" Master Peng had never heard of it.
"I don't know either, but I'll find out tomorrow. Also, come and take a look, this is the pastry recipe I bought today."
.. ....
When Chen Wanbai heard Master Peng's praise, he quickly said humbly: "Master Peng, thank you very much. I just tried to make it according to the recipe handed down from my ancestors. It's not really a real thing." Skill."
Shopkeeper Li added with a smile: "She just delivered the raw materials today. I saw that this thing was not easy to handle, so I asked her to come in and demonstrate it, so that we would not have to figure it out ourselves. ”
Master Peng nodded, it is indeed the case. Demonstration is more understandable than what they can understand by looking at the recipe.
"Come with me to the kitchen."
"Okay, then follow me to the small kitchen. "Master Peng said, then he got up and left the kitchen and entered a small kitchen next to it. Chen Wanbai didn't say much and followed Master Peng into the kitchen. Shopkeeper Li also followed in, wanting to see with his own eyes how the tree roots turned into For pastries.
The small kitchen is more compact than the kitchen, but it is fully equipped. The stove, chopping board, steamer, etc. are all arranged in an orderly manner. Chen Wanbai took a quick look in his mind and started to make preparations. /p>
She first washed the two yams she just picked up, broke them into pieces and steamed them directly in the steamer without peeling them.
It is the same whether the yams are peeled and steamed, or peeled after being steamed. However, Chen Wanbai doesn't want to peel it after steaming it. He usually steams it and mashes it directly. In addition, shopkeeper Li doesn't have a paring knife here, so peeling it with a knife is too laborious.
Shopkeeper Li and Master Peng stood aside, somewhat speechless.
Should we steam the tree roots directly?
But they still didn’t ask and planned to take a look. < /p>

“Is there any sweet potato? Or pumpkin would work too. "Chen Wanbai turned around and asked.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you. "It was Shopkeeper Li who spoke. After all, he was just watching the fun, not learning the craft.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Li brought a small basket of sweet potatoes. There were not many other things in winter, but there were still a lot of sweet potatoes. .
Chen Wanbai quickly washed and peeled the food and put it in the pot, very neatly.
Shopkeeper Li didn’t think anything was wrong. Most of the farm children were neat at work, but Master Peng’s eyes were a little bit sharp. No, I don't know what I was thinking about.
There was everything in the small kitchen, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and all kinds of noodles. Chen Wanbai only looked around and found what he wanted.
In about a quarter of an hour, the yams and sweet potatoes were steamed.
Chen Wanbai took out a set of molds from the small cloth pocket he carried with him and started making yam cakes.
At first, shopkeeper Li and Master Peng didn’t understand what she was taking out. They just saw her sprinkle some glutinous rice flour into the mold, then put a small ball of yam paste, and then pressed it. Push, and a printed pastry is formed.
Shopkeeper Li and Master Peng's eyes suddenly lit up when they saw this scene, their faces full of surprise and excitement. This must be something better than what they had in the kitchen. The one used is much better, you have to control the intensity and knock it out gently.
Master Peng took a few steps closer and stared at the mold. If Chen Wanbai hadn't been using it, he would have done it directly. He took it away.
Chen Wanbai couldn't ignore the hot look in his eyes. If he didn't stop, he would probably be shot through by Shopkeeper Peng.
"Master Peng, this town. The Chenji Woodwork Shop on the Internet sells it, and I bought it there. ”
Before he finished speaking, Master Peng could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart.He was so excited that he couldn't wait a moment. The pastries seemed to be finished, so he turned around and left the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and said to Chen Wanbai: "Master Peng is that kind of person. When he sees good things, he can't wait for a moment."
Chen Wanbai nodded and brought the pastry to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper Li, try it."
Shopkeeper Li took a piece and it was not too hot. When he ate it, it tasted the same.
"I wonder what the name of this cake is?"
Chen Wanbai thought for a while, wouldn't it be a bit simple to just call it potato cake? It does not conform to the ancient style, and it cannot be sold at a high price.
"Shopkeeper Li, I think you can try it as a new product for regular customers, and then let them name the pastry."
Before he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Li clapped his hands. cheers.
Shopkeeper Li didn't need to think carefully to understand such a wonderful idea.
Firstly, it builds momentum for the new pastries; secondly, it makes regular customers feel that they are different from others, and they must rack their brains to think about it. Especially if they adopt it, they will be even happier; thirdly, the reputation of this teahouse will also be spread.
It’s really wonderful!
"Okay, okay."
Chen Wanbai just said casually, this kind of routine is common in modern times, and collecting names is just an opportunity to gain traffic.
"Shopkeeper Li, what shall we call the yam in the yard?"
Shopkeeper Li came to his senses: "Let's go, let's go."
