Nie Ling'er lowered his head to look at the Luo Songcake that he had taken a bite of, and at a glance he saw the half-bitten nut inside.

It is indeed a hazelnut.

"Hazelnuts are too hard." Nie Ling'er said bluntly: "I accidentally bit it in the middle and broke my teeth."

"Pfft..." Yu Sangqian couldn't hold it back after hearing this and chuckled: "This is the first time I've seen you knock your teeth while eating."

Nie Ling'er also laughed. She didn't expect that there were whole hazelnut kernels in the sponge cake.

"Miss Nie, are your teeth okay?" Song Ren quickly asked with concern and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I should have informed you in advance."

Nie Ling'er didn't care much, but the issue still had to be raised, so he said: "My teeth are good, so it won't be a problem. But if you encounter someone with bad teeth, if you don't protect them properly, something will happen."

"Hazelnuts are one of the harder fruits among nuts. Even if they are fried, they are still very hard. If you want a nutty aroma, I suggest Master Song grind the hazelnuts into powder. If Master Song wants to pursue a grainy nutty flavor,

, you can also replace it with fried walnuts."

"The fried walnuts are very crispy and will not scratch your teeth. The aroma is also very consistent with the cake. I think it is more suitable than hazelnuts."

This is the first opinion Nie Ling'er put forward today, and he even gave out the solution.

Song Ren couldn't help but think about it carefully after hearing the words, and finally nodded with a smile: "What Miss Nie said is true, I should have considered it long ago."

After all, he is a professional pastry chef. Just by thinking about it, he can think of whether it is feasible to replace hazelnuts with walnuts.

Nie Ling'er said it right. In terms of taste and aroma, walnuts are more suitable for use in cakes than hazelnuts.

After that, Nie Ling'er tasted all the new products one by one. It has to be said that most of them are almost impeccable. Song Ren is really good at craftsmanship and should be the best pastry chef in Huaiyang.

There were only a few minor flaws in the pastries, and Nie Linger pointed them out one by one, and discussed with Song Ren to come up with a reasonable and feasible solution.

It wasn't until the evening meal at the restaurant was approaching that Nie Ling'er and the others stood up to say goodbye.

Song Ren personally sent him to the gate of Song's house and said to Nie Ling'er: "Miss Nie, I have benefited a lot from meeting you today. Many bottlenecks that have been bothering me for a long time were solved instantly by the girl.

."

"I hope I can get some guidance from Miss Nie if I have the opportunity in the future."

Song Ren has good abilities, but he is very humble and shows no trace of arrogance.

Nie Ling'er had a very good impression of him, and both of them loved food, so they thought they would become friends in the future.

Nie Ling'er said: "Guidance is not to mention, Master Song is extremely accomplished, and my suggestions are just the icing on the cake. Since we are both in Huaiyang, we will definitely have the opportunity to communicate again in the future."

"The girl is right. If I still have something that I can't figure out, I will have to bother the girl." Song Ren actually vaccinated Nie Ling'er in advance.

Nie Ling'er smiled, nodded and said: "I'm waiting for you at any time. My house is in the west of the city. Master Song can come and sit in my house when he is free."

Because Master Song Ren is already a married man, Nie Linger does not have to avoid suspicion. The invitation means that Nie Linger is willing to make him a friend.

Song Ren was even more delighted when he heard this and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely visit you personally."

Seeing that it was getting late, Nie Linger was afraid of delaying the restaurant night market, so she said goodbye.

On the way back, Yu Sangqian was a little excited and said to Nie Ling'er: "Ling'er, I see that you and Master Song Ren are very close to each other. You don't have many friends in Huaiyang. Who can discuss this with you?"

It's very rare. In my opinion, you should walk around with him more and you can definitely become a good friend."

Xie Luzhu also thinks it should.

"That's right, making friends requires not only having similar personalities, but also having common topics. The way I saw Master Song Ren look at you just now was the kind of look that makes you regret meeting someone late and meeting a close friend."

Hearing this, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but smile and said truthfully: "I also meant so. Before that, I thought Master Song Ren was an uncle, but I didn't expect that he would have such exquisite pastry skills at his age. He is indeed

Rare."

"Don't say that. How old are you now? Compared with you, it's no surprise that others in their twenties have such skills." Yu Sang said lightly.

Nie Ling'er laughed: "In short, I feel like old master Song at first sight, and he has a gentle personality and is not burdensome to get along with. I think we will become friends in the future."

A tasting session that Yu Sangqian invited him to, and Nie Ling'er got to know Song Ren, a friend, which was an unexpected bonus.

In the evening, Baolai and Fulai followed Chuncha's instructions and came to take Nie Ling'er home.

It happened that we had to pick up two food boxes today, so Nie Ling'er handed them over directly to them.

After entering the mansion gate, Nie Ling'er said to them: "This food box contains some snacks. You men will keep one box and share it. The remaining box will be sent to Xia He and the others."

The snacks were the ones left over from today's tasting meeting. They wouldn't taste good overnight. Nie Ling'er thought of bringing them back and sharing them with the servants in the house to have a fresh taste.

"Thank you, miss!"

Baolai Fulai looked happy and quickly saluted and thanked her.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest." In order to say more, Nie Ling'er dismissed the two of them and went straight to the backyard.

There are lanterns on both sides of the path of the house at night, but they are not very bright, only a faint light.

When he was about to reach his yard, subtle footsteps suddenly came from the distance, and the light of the lantern cast a long shadow in the distance, but Nie Ling'er didn't recognize who it was for a moment.

He just tentatively called out: "Spring tea?"

Because at this hour of the week, only Chun Cha would be waiting for her return in the yard, so she subconsciously thought it was Chun Tea.

Unexpectedly, the figure paused for a moment when he heard the voice, and then a soft voice came out: "Miss."

Nie Ling'er heard it with just one sound, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Xiang Tao?"

As these words fell, Xiangtao's small figure came within the visible range of the lantern and candlelight. She lowered her head, still looking submissive.

Seeing this, Nie Ling'er frowned lightly and instinctively looked towards the darkness not far away. In that direction was the back door of the house, which was usually bolted and locked. Outsiders could not get in.

No one can get out.

"What are you doing?" Nie Ling'er asked.

Xiang Tao's shoulders shrank, as if she was very afraid of Nie Ling'er. Hearing the words, she said: "I felt a little bored at night and was afraid it would rain at night, so I went to the back to give the beans that Brother Jiang Ming had dried.

Put it away."

Jiang Ming usually takes time to prepare some ingredients for the kitchen at home. Although there is space in the front yard, it doesn’t look good to dry these things, so he moves them to the open space at the back door to dry them.
