《Little chef》5-Be a personal chef?

"It's really delicious."
"Why can't our family make such a good cake?"
"So this is steamed egg sponge cake? Why is it so soft? Even my 80-year-old mother can eat it."
"The taste is also delicious, this chef Su really has talent ah."
Listening to the praise from the person next to him, Qi Tian Yun thought of the information sent by the Mayor. Wasn't the girl chef also surnamed Su?
Looking at the surrounding shops, he didn't expect she was the same woman who made spring onion mixed with tofu.
Everything she made was so different.
Fortunately, after lining up they could buy the cakes quickly. The woman in front of him worked with her head down and her brother collected the money while packing the egg sponge cake. Both of them worked efficiently.
Qi Tian Yun only saw the pointed little chin of the little chef. He tried to look at her face by glancing over a few times.
The little chef seemed to sense something, so when she raised her head she saw his painting-like face.
It stunned Su Tang for a moment.
There was only one thought in her head.
Such a handsome man!
He was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
His face was like a knife with eyes painted in black and sharp jaws coupled with a high bridge nose.
Oh my God! This kind of face would have been a big star in her world!
This face was absolutely beautiful!
Su Tang glanced at him without stopping the work in her hands.
When it was Qi Tian Yun's turn, the imperial guard opened his mouth and said: "Two pieces of soft cakes."
Actually, Su Tang already said it many times! It's called steamed egg sponge cake!
However, everyone still called them soft cakes. They said that this differed from the usual egg sponge cake.
Su Tang finally accepted this name.
Forget it. The customer was the king and what the customer said was always right.
When the imperial guard finished speaking, he saw a piece of soft cake left on the plate.
The golden soft cake looked exquisite, but there was only one piece left!
The people on the back wailed. They were here for the cakes, but they were all gone.
Su Tang didn't expect this as well and had to apologize to everyone. She stated that more egg sponge cakes would be prepared, and those who wanted to buy could come tomorrow.
The imperial guard numbly paid the money and handed it to the Marquis.
Marquis didn't like to eat, so this type of snack normally couldn't even catch his eye. Thus, the Marquis will definitely don't want this cake!
However, the imperial guard saw the Marquis, who was usually very picky, break off a piece of the soft cake to eat.
Qi Tian Yun frowned and subconsciously squeezed the soft cake. It was very soft, just like it was a cloud. It melted in his mouth, leaving only the sweet taste of eggs.
There were such delicious pastries?
He has never liked sweets, but at the moment he has to admit that this soft cake was worthy of its name. It was indeed soft and sweet.
Before he knew it, he had already eaten this piece of soft cake.
It was rare for his stomach to feel full.

It turns out that eating was not a difficult thing.
The imperial guard was already crying without tears! Whoo-hoo-hoo he could feel how delicious this soft cake was!
This picky prince has actually finished it all by himself!!!
He was not on duty tomorrow, so he must come over and buy a piece to taste it.
Damn it! He was hungry now.
Thinking about the cake, the imperial guard's stomach let out a gurgling sound.
Su Tang and Su Jin Hang were preparing to close the stall when they heard a sound and it caused them to subconsciously look over. This caused the imperial guard's face to blush.
Su Tang opened a stall in front of her restaurant to sell the pastries. After they finished they needed to move things back inside.
Su Tang knew that the two of them had only bought one soft cake. She smiled and said: "We siblings have not eaten breakfast yet. I'm going to make pancakes. Do you want to have some?"
The clothes of these two people looked expensive, so maybe they were big customers!
Pancakes? The dry and hard ones?
The imperial guard was just about to refuse but then thought about the craftsmanship of this little chef. He looked at the Marquis to let him decide.
Qi Tian Yun indeed wanted to try her cooking skills, so he nodded his approval.
Su Tang asked her little brother to buy some meat and spring onions.
She invited Qi Tian Yun and the imperial guards into her small restaurant.
The restaurant looked pretty good and clean. Apart from the light peeking out from the roof and the old furniture, there were no stains. Usually, restaurants would have some stains, but even though this restaurant's furnishing was worn out, it was all spotless.
That was why Qi Tian Yun didn't mind sitting down, but it was a little strange because there was obviously a restaurant. However, there were only two tables and four chairs.
Su Tang made two cups of tea for them and said with a smile: "Wait a moment."
Qi Tian Yun saw that even if she was a young girl, she was very polite. If it wasn't for the scar on her face she would be quite beautiful.
They lived in the marketplace, so Su Jin Hang soon returned with meat and spring onions.
According to Su Tang's instructions he only bought a child palm-sized fatty and lean meat back.
The imperial guard's eyes widened, and he whispered to Qi Tian Yun: "Marquis, how can this family be so poor when they have such craftsmanship?"
That small amount of meat wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Those who can become imperial guards of the Marquis are naturally from wealthy and powerful families. They absolutely don't know the way a normal family eats. How could he imagine that this amount of small meat could be divided up to fill four people?
Even if the little chef's brother was very small, this would be barely enough for just him. Let alone enough to make pancakes for three more people.
It's over. Maybe this little girl could only make soft cakes.
Qi Tian Yun was relaxed. He had eaten spring onion mixed with tofu made by the little chef before, so in his heart, he was still looking forward to her other dishes.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the smell of minced meat burst out of the kitchen.
Normally, this kind of smell would make Qi Tian Yun uncomfortable, but the meaty smell was not fishy. Instead, it was mixed with the seasoning, along with the smell of freshly baked bread.
It was definitely not just an ordinary pancake.
The smell alone makes people restless.
Su Tang didn't want to keep the guests outside waiting for too long, so she made something fast to cook to serve them soon.
A golden pancake. However, there was a combination of pork, spring onion, and ginger in the middle of this pancake.
Qi Tian Yun could see that this was minced pork and spring onions. They were mixed and rolled into the thin dough. The thickness of the dough was about the width of a finger. Such thinness could be filled with so much stuffing!
The pancakes were cut into bite-size pieces so people could keep their grace while eating. As soon as the pancakes were served the imperial guard almost couldn't help but move his chopsticks.
Su Jin Tang added one more dish called egg tea with sesame oil for them to go along with the pancakes and neutralize the fishy smell.
What seemed like a simple meal had turned into a feast for the imperial guard.
Su Tang sat at the other table with her brother and ate along with the guests.
The imperial guard heard the crisp sound of the two siblings next to them biting the pancakes and looked eagerly at his own master.
Qi Tian Yun was somewhat tempted by the smell, so he nodded his head, signaling to his guard to eat.
The imperial guard stopped being polite and rushed directly to the pancakes. After taking a bite of the crispy pancakes and melted minced meat he said, "My God, I haven't eaten such delicious minced meat. No, could this still be called a pancake? I have never eaten a pancake-like this."
And did not forget to drink the egg tea too.
!!!
Egg tea was also delicious.
The sesame oil was the main reason, but there was also a hint of wine?
The imperial guard saw that the Marquis had not moved his chopsticks. He couldn't help but try to persuade him: "You try it, it's very delicious."
Then he went back to pick up another piece of pancake with his own chopsticks.
Qi Tianyun looked at him lightly. The imperial guard looked so proud to have already eaten it before the Marquis.
He originally thought that the smell of pork would be unbearable, but this pork tasted delicious and there was no other smell.
It was the most delicious minced meat he had ever eaten.
He obviously has eaten all kinds of precious delicacies, so why was it that this simple pancake tasted so delicious?
Seeing the imperial guard drink egg tea with such a satisfied expression, he also took a sip.
After taking a sip, the greasy feeling from the oil was completely solved and the combination of the two turned out to be wonderful.
Qi Tian Yun enjoyed his tea carefully and asked, "Is there wine in this egg tea?"
"My lord has such a great sense of taste, this girl added a little rice wine so it could get rid of the fishy egg taste. The sesame oil is used to cover the aftertaste." Su Tang replied with a smile.
It amazed her that this person could taste it. After all, she only added a tiny amount of wine for this purpose.
She heard that some people have a better sense of smell and taste than others. Maybe this handsome man was one of them?
Qi Tian Yun did not expect that these simple foods would be so delicious when combined.
What was he eating before?
The imperial guard didn't expect that a small shop they accidentally stumbled into would actually match the Marquis' appetite.
If the emperor knew about this, he might jump for joy.
Their Marquis actually ate a lot!
Marquis has been picky about eating since he was a child.
This has always been a problem for everyone else.
If this little chef was really so talented, why not try to invite her back?
The imperial guard immediately spoke: "Girl, do you want to work for a rich household?"
Qi Tian Yun was stunned, but he didn't stop him.
It was rare enough for this woman to make four dishes that match his liking.
There were so many chefs in the family home anyway, so one more wouldn't be a problem.
Su Tang didn't expect them to ask this, but she smiled and answered, "I'm sorry. Although I'm just a merchant, I'm still a good citizen and am unwilling to go to be a slave."
One could only be a slave when they joined this kind of rich household as a normal person.
She came from modern times, she can't afford to act lowly.
The imperial guard tried to explain: "You will not need to be a slave. You are just going to make some food. A generous monthly payment will be given, and the servants also treat each other with courtesy."
Su Tang shook her head: "No, I can't compromise with these rules. It's good enough for me to keep my little restaurant."
What this person was asking for was for her to be someone else's private chef. She honestly did not see the point in doing so. What would be the benefit of that overrunning her own shop?
Besides, she still has a younger brother to raise, so how could she become a private chef for someone? There was nothing else to talk about with that being said.
The imperial guard looked at his Marquis while putting the money on the table. He felt reluctant, but he failed to change Su Tang's mind.
The imperial guard thought about it and said: "Marquis, why don't you reveal your identity? She can't refuse the marquis even if she doesn't want to go."
Qi Tian Yun frowned: "After staying so long with your master, you have not learned good things but learned how to bully people?"
Qi Tian Yun could see that the little chef was determined in her heart and mind, and could not be moved by materialistic things. Naturally, he could understand these feelings too, so how can he approve of such bullying?
"Since her house is a restaurant, wouldn't I be able to come here anytime I want to eat?" Qi Tian Yun raised his eyebrows and looked back at the sign of the small restaurant. He was obviously in a good mood.
