Chapter 413 Cake
"Mom, don't be anxious. Good things are worth waiting for. We can wait for Ye Yi and the others to come back and have them as a midnight snack." Lin Qingyan glanced at Liu Huizhen who was about to take action again.
He quickly took out something that looked like a knife but had no blade, cut off the browned parts around the freshly made cake, and sliced the cake horizontally into three slices.
He took out a bottle from the box below, from among a pile of materials and tools, poured some white stuff out of the bottle, added some sugar into it, and finally picked up the electric whisk and started whipping the cream.
"Qingyan, what's in here?"
Liu Huizhen looked at the thing that started out like milk and became thicker and thicker with the operation of the whisk, and asked with interest.
"Mom, this is cream."
As Lin Qingyan answered, she added some sugar and continued beating.
"Cream? Is it delicious?"
As soon as Liu Huizhen finished asking, Lin Qingyan picked up a little cream with the chopsticks beside her and put it next to Liu Huizhen's mouth.
"Mom, try it. You'll know if it tastes good or not after you try it."
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she was about to use the other chopstick to pick it up for Lu Wan'er, but was rejected by Lu Wan'er.
"I don't want to eat it now. I'll taste it when you're done."
Seeing that she sincerely refused, Lin Qingyan did not force her.
She put the whipped cream aside temporarily, spread a layer of the diced fruit Liu Huizhen had cut in the middle of the cake, and then placed the cake slices one by one.
Then spread the whipped cream evenly on the cake base, take out a bag from inside, pour the remaining cream into the bag, cut a small hole at the bottom of the bag, and gently squeeze it on the cake to make various shapes.
Lin Qingyan's action not only surprised Liu Huizhen, but also Lu Wan'er.
"My dear, how come you made such a mess on this cake? I can't bear to eat it just by looking at it."
Liu Huizhen spoke fluently in her hometown dialect.
“This is called framing!”
Lin Qingyan continued to work without stopping, and she completed the decorating work in one go.
She looked at the fruit that she had asked Liu Huizhen to cut, and there was only a little left, so she put down the piping bag.
"Mom, wait a minute, I'll get some more fruit."
Lin Qingyan quickly ran to the kitchen, took some grapes and blueberries, washed them, and put them on the cake.
Liu Huizhen saw fruits she had never seen before.
"What kind of fruit is this blue-purple one? When did you buy it? Why don't I see it?"
"These are blueberries. They're in the kitchen, where you usually keep fruits. Why didn't you see such a big box of them sitting there?"
Not only did Lin Qingyan lie without batting an eyelid, she also asked Liu Huizhen questions in return, leaving Liu Huizhen confused.
"Really? That might be because I didn't see it."
Lin Qingyan continued to make the final decorations on the cake. After she finished decorating the cake, she stood up straight.
"It's finally done. Mom, Aunt Lu, do you think this finished product is okay?"
"It's OK, more than OK, my daughter is really skillful, this cake I made is the first time I've seen it, it's really beautiful."
Liu Huizhen stared at the cake. She felt that she would not be able to eat it later.
Such a beautiful cake took so much time to make. If Lu Wan'er hadn't been here, she wouldn't have let Lin Qingyan eat it.
When Lin Qingyan heard her mother's praise and looked at the cake in front of her, she felt a sense of accomplishment. However, she was still looking at Lu Wan'er, waiting for her reply.
"I think our dessert shop will have good business just because of this one pastry."
Lu Wan'er didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She had a hunch that going into business with Liu Huizhen might be the best thing she had ever done.
Just as the three of them were gathered around the cake, Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan finished their work in the store and returned home.
"Godmother, Aunt Lu!"
"Come here and see what we did today." Liu Huizhen called the two children to her side.
"Wow, what is this?"
Wang Lanlan was amazed and exclaimed repeatedly. Ye Yi also looked at the things on the table with bright eyes.
"cake!"
"Cake? Something edible?"
Lin Qingyan glanced at Wang Lanlan, who looked like a fool at this moment.
"Yes, I will make one for you on your birthday."
"Why wait until my birthday?" Wang Lanlan looked at her friend puzzledly.
"It is said that people in Hong Kong now call this kind of cake birthday cake!"
"Does that mean I can only eat it on my birthday?"
"Not really. You can eat it whenever you want, as long as you can make it."
Lin Qingyan went straight to the kitchen, took out a few plates, cut the cake into small pieces, the kind sold in modern cake shops, and placed them on the plates.
Lu Wan'er looked at the cake on the plate in front of her and said to Lin Qingyan:
"Qingyan, this is what I was talking about before. It's sold in Western restaurants. A small piece like this sells for 8 yuan. It's very expensive."
"What? What the hell? Just this small piece for 8 dollars."
Liu Huizhen didn't expect the Western restaurant to be so shady. She saw what her daughter did and knew how much ingredients she used and could also calculate the approximate price.
The cake made by her daughter was cut into 6 small pieces by her. If sold at the price of a Western restaurant, this cake could be sold for 48 yuan.
Lin Qingyan directly told the approximate cost of this cake.
Because she bought all the cream from Hyundai, she had no idea how much the cream cost in 79, and she didn't even know where to buy it.
Everyone present was not stupid and quickly calculated the profit. Their ordinary dessert shop could sell a piece for less than 8 yuan.
Finally, Lu Wan'er and Liu Huizhen decided to make this cake the main product of the store and set the price at 3 yuan per piece. A large cake would be sold for 18 yuan, or at a discount for 16 yuan.
After choosing the main products to be promoted by the dessert shop, we just wait for the dessert shop to open.
The dessert shop was designed by Lin Qingyan based on the style of modern dessert shops. Now the shop has been decorated and is waiting to open.
When the shop was being renovated, it attracted a lot of passers-by. In fact, the onlookers didn’t know what the shop was doing. At first they just wanted to watch the fun, but in the end they were attracted by the design of the shop.
So much so that now there are many young and curious people who are looking forward to the opening of the store.
Lin Qingyan, who has been busy recently, had no idea that her roommates were having a discussion about her at the moment.
Ever since Chen Fanghua saw Lin Qingyan in the clothing store that day, she has been a little absent-minded, especially every time in the dormitory, she always looks at Lin Qingyan's bed.
Lin Qingyan's bed was made, but she seldom came back to rest, and now she was rarely seen even at noon.
Chen Fanghua suddenly asked the people who were talking, "Have you seen Lin Qingyan recently?"
