The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 166 The Decision Just Made (9)
Shopkeeper Zhang has already prepared all the things that Mu Jinxi ordered to prepare, whether it is customized molds or various ingredients for making mooncakes, they have piled up a large space in the back kitchen.

In order to make mooncakes, the kitchen also specially vacated an open space for Mu Jinxi to show off her skills.The chefs of some positions in the back kitchen also came over, ready to observe how this new moon cake is made.

Having said that, there is one point that needs to be explained.The last time the custard stewed carambola and eating dead people finally found out a little traitor in the Peach Blossom Restaurant, who was a person who helped with chores in the back kitchen. Naturally, this person was kicked out of the Peach Blossom Restaurant.

After this incident, Mu Jinxi came up with an idea, let everyone in the back kitchen sign a contract, a confidential contract, after signing, the wages will increase and the treatment will also improve a little.But they had to keep everything about the back kitchen of Peach Blossom Restaurant a secret, and they couldn't tell anyone, not even their family members.If one day the affairs of the back kitchen of the Peach Blossom Restaurant were leaked, not only would he have to accompany Yin Zi, but he would also have to bear certain responsibilities.Those who are willing to sign the contract will sign, and those who are unwilling, Taohua Restaurant will immediately settle the wages and let the person leave.

As expected by Mu Jinxi, no one was willing to leave, and all the people in the back kitchen signed a confidentiality contract.

So now she doesn't worry that the people in the back kitchen will leak out the recipe of the moon cakes after seeing it.

Mu Jinxi put on a white chef's suit specially sewn by someone, and a hat of the same color on her head. Shopkeeper Zhang was terrified when he first saw her wearing it like this. It looked like she was going to a funeral.Later, Mu Jinxi explained it all before reluctantly accepting it.Now I am used to it, not only I am used to it, but sometimes I think it looks good.

Mu Jinxi said some things to pay attention to and started to make mooncakes. The first thing to do was Cantonese-style mooncakes. In fact, the recipe was almost the same as that of the mooncakes here. The people at Taohua Restaurant soon understood.

Cantonese-style mooncakes are considered traditional mooncakes. Mu Jinxi doesn’t intend to talk too much about how traditional mooncakes are made. Her focus is on snow skin mooncakes, ice cream mooncakes, fruit mooncakes, seafood mooncakes and health-care mooncakes.

When the people in Peach Blossom Restaurant heard her mention the names of these mooncakes, they felt extremely novel, and when they heard her explain them in detail, they felt even more excited, wishing they could make a finished product right away.

Mu Jinxi demonstrated that she made the latter three kinds of mooncakes once, and tried the first two kinds of mooncakes later. She made the simple ones first, and when they were familiar with them, she would make the first two kinds again.

Fortunately, the people in Peach Blossom Restaurant are more flexible in their brains. Although they looked a little clumsy at first, they soon got better after getting used to it. See how it tastes after it's cooked.If the taste reaches the standard, it is considered a pass, otherwise you have to continue to try and improve.

After they got started, Mu Jinxi concentrated on making snow skin mooncakes and ice cream mooncakes.She thought about making these two kinds of mooncakes for the time being. After all, both materials and man-hours are more expensive. If they are not successful, they will be wasted and it is not worthwhile.

She was busy with her work, and the others were busy with other things. After a while, the kitchen was busy and quiet, only the slight sounds and occasional discussions when everyone was concentrating on their work.

After some time, Mu Jinxi finally made the first snowy mooncake.Looking at the finished ice skin mooncake, Mu Jinxi let out a heavy breath, only to realize that she finished it with her breath held in the end, which shows how worried she was that she would fail.

Looking at the small and lovely mooncakes on the table, Mu Jinxi was in a good mood, and said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Treasurer Zhang, take this mooncake to the ice cellar immediately."

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned.

"Hurry up! Just do as I said, take it to the ice cellar." Mu Jinxi stared.

"Oh, oh, I'll go right away." The shopkeeper Zhang didn't even understand why the mooncake was taken to the ice cellar, but his body was already moving, and he picked up the small moon cake and quickly went to the ice cellar according to Mu Jinxi's words.

A quarter of an hour later, Mu Jinxi asked shopkeeper Zhang to go to the ice cellar to take out the mooncakes, and brought them to the private room upstairs.

Xiao Xiao and Jue Lin had been waiting in the private room for a long time, and Mu Jinxi took off her chef's uniform and sat beside her. When shopkeeper Zhang brought out the snowy mooncakes, she could still see a faint white puff of smoke from the mooncakes.
