The new shop is called Jiangji Pastry. It sounds like an ordinary name, but it has her own mark.
Jiang Miao worked hard for three days to open the shop. Shen Yingxue was absent-minded at first, but gradually became attracted to the snacks in her hand.
"What kind of snack is this? It's so exquisite."
The dough blooms in the hot oil, and the layers are as beautiful as petals.
Jiang Miao took out the fried ones and put them on a plate to control the oil, and replied with a smile.
"This is lotus cake. It has a crispy skin and sweet and glutinous bean paste inside. Can you try it, sister?"
Shen Yingxue shook her head, this was what Jiang Miao wanted to sell, how could she be willing to eat it.
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Jiang Miao didn't force her. She waited for her to finish making the snacks and let her family members taste one.
In addition to lotus cakes, Jiang Miao also made osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes, wife cakes, and peach blossom cakes. Seeing Daya and Zhou Ling playing in the yard, Jiang Miao used the oven to make some small puddings for them.
If it weren't for the difficulty in buying milk, she would have thought of making cakes to sell.
Platefuls of dim sum were placed on the table, and the Shen family was surprised to see them, especially the lotus cakes and peach blossom cakes, which really looked like two flowers.
"If you hadn't told me this was a snack, would I have really thought it was made of flowers?"
"That's right, Miao Ya is so skillful with her hands." Mrs. Zhang and others praised her profusely. Jiang Miao blushed at the praise and said with a smile.
"Everyone, please try it for me and see if it tastes good." Whether the business will be a success tomorrow depends on these snacks.
"Miaoya's cooking must be delicious."
The Shen family admires her craftsmanship so much that every ingredient is delicious in her hands.
The mung bean cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, the peach blossoms are crispy and fragrant... Each pastry has a different taste and each one is delicious.
"Mom, try it."
Zhou Ling took a spoonful of the pudding in her hand and handed it to Shen Yingxue's mouth. She opened her mouth subconsciously, and the smooth and delicate pudding melted in her mouth. It tasted like custard but sweeter than custard.
"It's delicious." Shen Yingxue smiled at her daughter, feeling better after eating the sweets.
Zhou Ling saw that her mother finally smiled and stood on tiptoes to feed her everything in the bowl.
"Just eat, mother is already full." Shen Yingxue touched her daughter's head, her daughter was sensible and considerate. Zhou Ling pursed her lips and smiled, hugging the pudding and eating like a little hamster.
Jinxiu Pavilion
Shopkeeper Qin opened the door early today. She stood at the door and looked across the way several times. The customers in the shop all looked curious. There was something on the other side that she was longing for.
"Ms. Jiang's dim sum shop is opening today, and I'm waiting to support her."
"Ms. Jiang, who makes incense beads?" All the regular customers of Jinxiu Pavilion knew Jiang Miao, and shopkeeper Qin nodded with a smile.
"It's her."
"Hey, Mrs. Jiang can also make snacks, so I'll buy a few later."
They only knew that Jiang Miao's fragrant beads were good, but they didn't know how good the dim sum was. They thought they would support them and sell them more fragrant beads in the future.
So when Jiang Miao opened the door of the shop, there were already many people standing outside, and all of them had familiar faces.
"Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Li, Madam Chen... why are you all here?"
"Ms. Jiang opened her shop and didn't even know we were there."
"That's right, if shopkeeper Qin hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known about it yet?"
Jiang Miao was moved when she heard that Shopkeeper Qin was helping her attract business. Shopkeeper Qin and Xu Zilan were the best friends she met in ancient times.
"It's my fault. All ladies will get a 50% discount on your purchases in our store today."
Her dim sum business is inherently high-end, and these are her potential customers, so she needs to maintain them well.
"Then thank you Madam Jiang."
When they heard that there was an advantage, several ladies became excited.
The decoration of the snack shop is somewhat similar to that of a modern dessert shop. There are two rows of shelves in the room, with various snacks placed in different categories. Jiang Miao gave them a tray and wooden clips to choose from on the shelves.
The ladies were dazzled by what they saw. This was not a snack, it was clearly a work of art.
"I didn't expect Lady Jiang to not only make fragrant beads well, but also make snacks so exquisite."
Mrs. Qi originally only wanted to buy two pieces to try, but she couldn't help but pick up a few pieces of each, piling the plate full. Mrs. Chen behind her looked at her eagerly.
"Mrs. Qi, don't take them all away. Leave two pieces for us. There are so many people behind us!"
"It's just that you can't finish it even if you buy so much. It will go bad if you leave it alone."
"Why can't you finish eating? I can't give it away." Mrs. Qi retorted, but the movements of her hands stopped. She also found that she had taken a little too much. It was all because the snacks made by Mrs. Jiang were so beautiful.
She is not willing to let go of any of them.
Jiang Miao chuckled, "How can I attract you to buy it if I don't make it nice?"
Jiang Miao referred to the prices at other dim sum shops in the town. Each piece of dim sum was fifty cents, which was considered a sky-high price in dim sum.
She had originally thought about setting the bar low, but now she was the only one making the dim sum, and Jiang Miao was too busy. Fortunately, Shen Yingxue was there to help her.
Shen Yingxue has been busy with her in the past few days, and when she is busy, she doesn't care about the spring and autumn. When Shen Yingxue returns to normal, Jiang Miao discovers that she has some talent in cooking. In the future, she can also be good at cooking when she and Zhou Shui'an reconcile.
Support yourself and Zhou Ling.
She worked all day and three days to make ten plates, each with thirty pieces, and these ladies alone bought half of them.
"Walk slowly, come again if it tastes delicious."
Jiang Miao sent the people away one by one and rubbed her sore waist. She was almost exhausted after standing for a long time.
The business of the dim sum shop was better than she expected. The shop was tidy and clean, and the dim sum was exquisitely made and fragrant. Everyone who passed by wanted to come in and buy two pieces to try.
So just after noon, all the snacks she prepared were sold out.
Jiang Miao counted the silver and made a full ten taels. However, it looked like a lot, but it was enough for her in three days. She would definitely not be able to sell so much every day in the future. Jiang Miao would be satisfied with only two or three taels of silver.
The Shen family, Mrs. Zhang and others were upset and angry, "Old man, do you think Miaiya's dim sum can be sold? Why haven't you come back yet?"
She had warmed the rice in the pot twice, and she hadn't seen Jiang Miao come home yet. It was obviously not the first time that the Shen family had done business, but Mrs. Zhang's heart had not dropped yet.
"Please calm down for a while. How can no one buy the skills of the third daughter-in-law?" Father Shen smoked his dry cigarette, not worried at all.
Shen Yingxue twisted her handkerchief and felt a little nervous. She also participated in making the snacks, and she was also looking forward to the result.
"How's it going? Is business going well?"
As soon as Jiang Miao entered the door, she was pulled by Granny Zhang. Looking at her eager face, Jiang Miao's face broke into a smile.
"Mom, everything is sold out, business is great!"
"Mother knows, Miao Ya can definitely do it." Mrs. Zhang smiled with an old face and held her hand tightly.
"Hey, I don't know who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot just now." Father Shen glanced at her sideways and was kicked by Granny Zhang.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
"Pfft." Jiang Miao tried her best to hold back her laughter. These two were just kidding.
Shen Yingxue also pursed her lips and smiled. It was the first time in the past few days that she was so happy.
