Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 412 New Dessert Shop

Lu Wan'er went on a business trip these days.

There was a TV series that had been filmed previously and she was required to reshoot a few scenes. As soon as she came back, she came to find Liu Huizhen to ask how the dessert shop’s preparations were going.

It was she who took the initiative to partner with Liu Huizhen in the dessert shop. She couldn't just open a shop and not take care of anything else. She had to at least come and help and see if they encountered any problems.

Especially when she saw how popular Lin Qingyan's clothing store was when it opened, she was full of expectations for the dessert shop that she and Liu Huizhen were partnering to open.

It was just that she smelled a special fragrance when she just arrived near Lin Qingyan's house. However, she didn't think much about it. She could only sigh in her heart that this fragrance made her feel a little hungry.

As she got closer to Lin Qingyan's house, the fragrance became stronger. When she walked into the yard, she saw freshly baked egg cakes.

“Aunt Lu!”

Lin Qingyan felt someone entering the yard, turned around, and saw Lu Wan'er standing there with a bag in her hand.

When Liu Huizhen heard her daughter's voice, she turned around and greeted her.

"Big sister, come on, you came at the right time. This is our new product, fresh out of the oven. I failed in the two batches I made before, but this is the first successful batch."

Lu Wan'er walked to the oven and saw a few yellow cakes on the table next to the oven. She asked:

"What is this? It smells so good, is this what you just made?"

"Aunt Lu, this is an egg cake. It's delicious right out of the oven. Please try it."

Lin Qingyan motioned for Lu Wan'er to take it herself. Lu Wan'er then put her bag aside and went to wash her hands by the well. When she picked up the egg cake, she took a closer look. It was yellow and fragrant. She gently pinched the egg cake and it was soft and chewy.

Lu Wan'er suddenly felt even hungrier. She gently broke off a piece with her hands and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste immediately hit her taste buds.

She couldn't help but break off another piece and put it in her mouth. Before she knew it, she had already eaten half of the egg cake in her hand.

When Lu Wan'er realized that Lin Qingyan and Liu Huizhen were still staring at her, she smiled embarrassedly.

"I just came back from another place. I only left my luggage at home and rushed here. I just happen to be a little hungry now."

Liu Huizhen said to Lu Wan'er in a hurry: "Then you eat something to fill your stomach first, I'll get you something to eat."

"Don't worry, just eat two pieces of egg cakes." Lu Wan'er stopped Liu Huizhen.

"Then I'll serve you a portion of taro balls. They're freshly cooked and ready for the kids to eat when they get home in the evening."

"Okay, thank you, big sis!"

Lu Wan'er did not refuse the taro balls.

Liu Huizhen turned and went to the kitchen. Lin Qingyan was sitting in the yard with Lu Wan'er.

Lu Wan'er finished the last piece of egg cake in her hand, then she looked at Lin Qingyan with a smile.

"Qingyan, this cake you made is much more delicious than those cakes in pastry shops."

"Aunt Lu, do you think this can be sold in a dessert shop?"

"Just for the aroma, we can attract a lot of customers. But if everyone comes into the store to buy egg cakes, will it affect other people who eat desserts? Should we open another store?"

Lu Wan'er imagined that she was quietly eating dessert, and suddenly a lot of people were clamoring to buy things in front of the counter. She might not go to such a store again even if it suited her taste.

"There is no need to open another store for the time being. When decorating a store, don't you open a small window at the door?

At that time, the egg cakes will be sold from this small window, and people who buy them will buy them outside, which will not affect people eating in the store. "

Lu Wan'er thought of the window at the door of the store. It turned out that it was used for this purpose. She thought that the window was for ventilation, but she didn't expect it to have this use.

"I got several cake recipes, this egg cake is just one of them. I will try them one by one with my mother in the next few days.

When the time comes, you and my mom will select a few to sell in the store, so that the dessert shop will have desserts and pastries, and it won’t be monotonous.”

Lu Wan'er smiled when she heard this. She became more confident in the dessert shop. Just based on these pastries and desserts, the business would not be bad. Lu Wan'er was quite confident about this.

Most people in this era were very poor and could barely eat enough to get half full. But no matter which era it was, where there were poor people there would be rich people.

In the past few years, people could not buy and sell freely, and those who had money could only hold back and did not dare to buy openly. It was not that they did not want to buy, but they just lacked the opportunities to buy.

Now that they have the opportunity, I believe they will not miss it.

"I have seen a kind of pastry in a western restaurant. It is also soft and looks more delicate than this egg cake.

There is a layer of white stuff on top. The waiter in the western restaurant said that it is called cream. The pastry tastes sweet but not greasy and is very popular.

Several of my friends like it very much, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else except in Western restaurants.”

While eating the taro balls that Liu Huizhen brought to her, Lu Wan'er introduced them to Lin Qingyan and her daughter.

"I have the recipe for the pastry Aunt Lu mentioned, but I haven't had time to try making it yet, and I don't know if I can make it successfully.

Aunt Lu, let's try it together and see if we can make it."

After listening to Lu Wan'er's description, Lin Qingyan knew that this should be the most common kind of cake in modern cake shops.

In fact, this kind of cake is very easy to make. The most important thing is to bake the cake base at the bottom layer, whip the cream, and then put it on.

As for making cake cream and other tools, she bought a lot of them and changed them into transparent packaging without words, which are now placed among the pile of materials next to her.

Lin Qingyan took out a notebook from the pile of materials. The notebook recorded the materials and production process that she had searched for on the Internet in modern times.

Lin Qingyan found the steps for making the cake in the notebook, then stood up and started working.

After Lu Wan'er finished eating the taro balls in her hand, she stood up and stood beside Liu Huizhen.

I helped Lin Qingyan and watched her operate step by step. I failed two furnaces and finally succeeded with the third one.

Lin Qingyan took out a round cake base from the oven that was many times larger than the egg cake.

"Qingyan, is this done?"

Lu Wan'er felt a great sense of accomplishment at this moment. Although she was just helping out on the side and occasionally passing things around, she felt as if the cake was made by her own hands.

"Not yet, just wait and see, there will be a surprise later!"

Lin Qingyan was still keeping the secret, which prompted Liu Huizhen to pat her on the shoulder.

"You kid, why don't you just do it quickly? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
