038: Uncle Dessert

"Do you want to say this seriously?" Li Jianghe raised his forehead.

"This is called starting with appearance," Tong Shuyao curled her lips, "But that uncle's Japanese desserts are indeed pretty good, compared with some in Pingjing."

"OK OK, thank you then", Li Jianghe clasped his hands together.

"If you are really sincere, rehearse well." Tong Shuyao saw the actors gradually coming, and straightened up from the podium where she was leaning, "Don't let your guard down."

"You must memorize your lines. If I see you repeating your lines with your script book again, I will..." Tong Shuyao said.

"Just what?"

"I told Ruan Xiang that you molested me in the drama club."

"She won't believe it"

"real?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I promise to complete the task." Li Jianghe spread his hands.

...

The dessert shop Tong Shuyao mentioned is in Jiangli District.

A very Japanese-style shop.

Night falls.

Simple wooden decoration, two lanterns hung at the door, lighting up with red light.

The store is not very big, but there are quite a lot of people.

Li Jianghe lined up outside the store holding a wooden token-style number plate.

However, although the store inside is not big, there is an area outside that is surrounded by parasols with cherry blossom patterns.

"I feel like a perfectionist." Li Jianghe patted the small stone bench under his butt. The style of this shop is considered unique among Yingtian dessert shops.

The background of the menu is the snowy Japanese Mount Fuji.

"One piece of dorayaki, one piece of matcha mille-feuille roll, and one piece of strawberry daifuku." Li Jianghe read from the menu: "One piece of kudzu sakura, one piece of habijuori, please excuse me."

"You can't eat so much, do you want me to pack it for you?" The uncle was a little surprised.

This uncle looks very "tasteful", and his facial features cannot be said to be outstanding, but when combined together, he gives people a very comfortable feeling, mainly because of his gentle temperament.

"No need, I'll make it for dinner." Li Jianghe did have this plan.

"It's not good to use dessert as a staple food. I'll make it for you this time." The uncle in the apron shook his head and wrote down Li Jianghe's request.

The seats in the store are Japanese tatami mats, and the trays are made of exquisite porcelain.

Kudzu Sakura is a transparent jelly made from arrowroot powder, wrapped in a cherry leaf, and filled with red bean paste.

Very sexy.

Habijue weaving, Habijue weaving is a kind of fabric, Habijue weaving means that this kind of confectionery is very similar to Habijue weaving process, it is shiny, it is not sweet, and it tastes sweet.

"This is dessert," Li Jianghe said with emotion, touching his belly.

Even after eating so much, I didn’t feel tired. The cream in the matcha mille-feuille roll tastes like milk, not margarine.

"This is dessert," Li Jianghe sighed again.

By this time, there were fewer people in the store, and Li Jianghe sat there for a while. When it was almost time for the store to close, Li Jianghe confronted his uncle.

"So you bought so many desserts earlier because you wanted to take care of my business first and make it difficult for me to refuse?" The uncle looked surprised.

"Ah..." Li Jianghe held his forehead, "Uncle, you have such a rich imagination."

"Only by keeping a young heart can you make young desserts," the uncle smiled.

"Uncle, are you willing to do a part-time job?" Li Jianghe asked.

"Ha, although I'm quite happy that someone recognizes my production level, the store you mentioned is too far away. I'm afraid I don't have time." The uncle shook his head, "and the taste of desserts will also change after being stored for a long time. "

"Uncle, how can you condescend to help me?" Li Jianghe sighed.

"If your coffee shop could open next door to me, maybe I would consider it," the uncle said jokingly, "Actually, I quite liked drinking coffee when I was in Japan."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you," Li Jianghe thanked him, "Can you pack me another 20 pieces of strawberry daifuku, divided into three bags, two bags of six, and one bag of eight."

Li Jianghe plans to bring a copy to each of 305, Ruan Xiang's dormitory, and the leading actors of the drama club tomorrow morning.

"Small question", the uncle suddenly remembered something and asked: "How much are you going to pay the pastry chef?"

"800, no, 1000," Li Jianghe said in surprise, "Are you willing to do it?"

"No, what I mean is that I happen to have an apprentice here. If you are willing, you can invite her over at this price." The uncle smiled apologetically: "That child has learned very well. It would be a waste to help me here.

.”

Li Jianghe thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's it. She's in the store now."

"Yes, I'll call her out right now."

After a while, the uncle led out a girl with a ponytail from the backstage.

The girl looks young, only twenty-twenty-three years old at most, her skin is a bit dark, her facial features are average, and there is a sense of tenacity in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The uncle told the girl what happened.

"Thank you, master." The girl bowed to her uncle, her eyes already moist, "Master, you are the only one who has been helping me."

Later, Li Jianghe found out that the girl's father was a bad gambler and owed a lot of debt. As a result, he ran away without saying a word, leaving the girl and her mother behind. The debtor took everything he could and still didn't pay.

Fortunately, the girl was average-looking, otherwise something even more depressing might have happened.

The girl's name is Wu Liling. She came to the city from the countryside, but because she really didn't know anything, she couldn't find a suitable job. It wasn't until her uncle Lu Pengnian returned from Japan and wanted to open a shop that he accepted her as an apprentice.

But even so, the gambling debt has not yet been paid off.

That's why Lu Pengnian asked her to take over Li Jianghe's job.

"Liling, please make a strawberry daifuku and give it to Mr. Li to try." Lu Pengnian was worried that Li Jianghe would doubt her skills, so he asked her to try it first.

Li Jianghe didn't say anything.

Definitely have to try it.

"Famous teachers make great disciples." After finishing a piece of strawberry cake, Li Jianghe gave a thumbs up and said, "If uncle has any proud disciples in the future, he will definitely recommend them to me."

This solves the problem of dine-in desserts.

.......

"Third brother, you finally think of your brothers." Wang Yunli, who was eating strawberry daifuku, said with emotion on his face, "It's delicious."

"No, you are older than me, second child." Li Jianghe rolled his eyes.

"Brother is the one who has something to eat." Wang Yunli said matter-of-factly, "If you can eat such delicious food every day, I can call you daddy."

"Second brother's words make sense," Liu Junhua also said with emotion, "This dessert tastes really good."

"Okay, it depends on your luck. Maybe I will bring you some in the future." Li Jianghe spread his hands.

"Third brother is a real man!" Guo Ce extended his thumb.

"Now do you know that your third brother is a real man?" Li Jianghe picked up another bag of fortune and said, "I'm going to find Ruan Xiang."
