Xiao Cheng in the back kitchen is preparing some materials to make Little Zhen's ration Little Fish Biscuits.
After coming over for a while, Xiao Cheng clapped his hands and looked at the neatly arranged materials in front of him and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"Now the ingredients are all ready, Little Zhen, I'll give you Little Fish Biscuits later."
Looking at Little Zhen sitting beside him, he smiled and said.
Little Zhen meowed a few times, seemingly very happy, and even rubbed the corner of his trousers.
Seeing Little Zhen so happy, Xiao Cheng smiled and started making Little Fish Biscuits.
The first step is to make the dough.
When kneading the dough, add butter, some sugar, an egg, and a little salt.
But it should be noted that the dough must be kneaded evenly, otherwise it will be embarrassing if some of the Little Fish Biscuits produced have a light taste and some have a strong taste.
The next step is to roll out the dough. The thinner the dough, the better, so that the baked Little Fish Biscuits will appear crisper.
Then use a round object similar to a bottle cap to fasten it one by one on the rolled out tissue paper, cut out each small round dough, and then use a fork to make a few small holes on it.
This is to prevent the dough from puffing up while baking.
Next, make the shape of the small fish, place it in the baking pan, and brush a layer of egg wash on the surface, and you're done.
Then set the temperature of the oven to 180 degrees and it will be ready in about fifteen minutes.
Just wait for fifteen minutes, take out the Little Fish Biscuits, let it cool down a little, and then you can eat it. This can actually be eaten by people, but it is quite troublesome to make Little Fish Biscuits just once.
Moreover, Little Fish Biscuits is only for internal consumption, mainly Little Zhen's rations.
Meow~ (it smells so good)
Seeing Little Zhen called out, Xiao Cheng smiled.
"It seems that you little guy has already smelled the fragrance of Little Fish Biscuits. Don't worry, you can eat it after a while."
As if he understood what Xiao Cheng said, Little Zhen sat elegantly on the side, staring at the oven without blinking, his eyes full of longing.
"This looks like a foodie cat too."
He shook his head helplessly and took a look at the oven. It would be ready in five or six minutes, so he waited patiently.
Five or six minutes later, the oven beeped, indicating that Little Fish Biscuits was ready.
Xiao Cheng put on heat-proof gloves and took out Little Fish Biscuits.
Each Little Fish Biscuits is just like a real fish, lifelike.
Moreover, the aroma of butter and eggs emanating from the Little Fish Biscuits that was just brought out made him salivate.
Little Zhen walked to Xiao Cheng's feet and kept meowing. His paws kept grabbing Xiao Cheng's pants, looking very eager.
"Little Zhen, don't worry, it's still very hot. Wait a while and it will cool down a little. I'll give it to you to eat."
Seeing that the owner said this, Little Zhen meowed, and walked to the side and sat down a little disappointed.
But those little eyes were still staring at Little Fish Biscuits in Iron Tray on the chopping board, as if they would wander away in the next moment.
Little Zhen like this makes Xiao Cheng dumbfounded. There is no doubt that this little guy is really a foodie, and he is still a serious foodie.
After about a few minutes, Xiao Cheng put a few pieces of Little Fish Biscuits on a small plate, brought it to Little Zhen, and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's eat. You're starving."
Meow~ (Looks delicious)
Then Little Zhen began its journey of eating Little Fish Biscuits.
Seeing that Little Zhen was eating so deliciously, Xiao Cheng also took a piece of Little Fish Biscuits, threw it into his mouth, and started chewing.
It tastes pretty good and is suitable as a snack to eat when you are bored.
At this time, the task prompt of Xiao Dian sounded.
Does the host receive the temporary task Quest Reward?
"That's it, get it"
As Xiao Cheng silently thought about receiving it in his mind, a luxurious cattery in the shape of a cabin appeared on the ground in front of him in the kitchen.
After looking at this luxurious cattery, I have to sigh.
This cattery is really luxurious and you don't need it.
There are cat litter boxes, cat scratching posts, etc., as well as some toys, such as yarn balls, cat teasing sticks, etc., which are quite complete.
"Xiao Dian, you can't help but regret this time, it's quite true."
Thank you host for the compliment. Although Little Zhen is smarter than other cats, it is still a cat in essence.
Therefore, the procedures for raising a cat must be followed, and these things are naturally necessary.
Meow~ (full, satisfied expression)
Little Zhen came to Xiao Cheng and meowed several times.
"You're full, it's delicious."
As if in response to Xiao Cheng's words, Little Zhen meowed.
Then Xiao Cheng began to introduce its home to Little Zhen, which was the luxurious cattery of Quest Reward.
Because this cattery is not large, it can be placed in the corner next to the glass counter in the front.
As for the toys inside, you can take them out and put them in a separate place, and take them out when needed.
Just leave the litter box, the cat's small plate, and some necessary things.
Little Zhen is very satisfied with this cattery and even goes in and out from time to time, seemingly telling Xiao Cheng.
Master, take a look at my house, it's so beautiful.
"Okay, you just stay in the cattery, I'm going to take a rest."
Although making Little Fish Biscuits is not tiring, tinkering with the cattery of Little Zhen is also quite laborious.
At this time Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have seen the luxurious cattery, and couldn't help but curiously asked Xiao Cheng.
"Shop Owner Xiao, is this Little Zhen's home? It looks so exquisite."
"Yes, this is his cattery. I have put Little Zhen's toys in the cupboard under the glass counter. You can play with them when you have time."
"This way, rice is fine. I like Little Zhen the best."
As for Yue'er, she had stars in her eyes for a long time, but the first time Little Zhen resisted her made her feel uncomfortable now, so she still ignored Little Zhen arrogantly.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Cheng shook his head helplessly and didn't care too much. He closed his eyes and rested.
In the lobby of the Xiao Clan.
Ao Ba Pa, Xiao Zhan and Three Elders of the Xiao Clan gathered together to discuss cooperation.
Of course, they originally wanted the two of them to go directly to Shop Owner Xiao to discuss, but considering that this would disturb the normal business of the Shop Owner Xiao store, they simply discussed it together and just went to Ruyi Zhai to discuss with Xiao Cheng.
"Xiao Clan, the purpose of my coming this time is to achieve cooperation with the Xiao Clan. I don't know if Xiao Clan has this intention."
Xiao Zhan smiled.
"Why does Ao Ba Pa patriarch want to cooperate with the Xiao Clan?"
Although the Xiao Clan people sitting here knew the main purpose of Ao Ba Pa's cooperation with them, they acted as if they didn't know what they were doing and watched Ao Ba Pa say it himself.
"It's like this. I know you have cooperated with Ruyi Zhai. I also know the magic of the pastries sold by Ruyi Zhai, so I want to cooperate with the Xiao Clan. To be precise, it is a three-party cooperation with Ruyi Zhai and Xiao Clan."
He paused for a moment, seeming to formulate his words.
"Now that guy Jia Lie Bi has cut off all business dealings with our city. Although it will not have much impact on my city in the short term, problems will still arise, so I want to seek cooperation with the Xiao Clan to cooperate with each other to make the two businesses more prosperous."
After Ao Ba Pa said these words, Three Elders looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
"Since Patriarch Ao Ba Pa wants to cooperate with the Xiao Clan, I wonder if Patriarch Ao Ba Pa can offer any conditions that would allow me to cooperate with him."
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.
"I can open my market and welcome all businessmen from Xiao Family Market to enter, and I will also give them certain discounts. I wonder if Xiao Clan is satisfied with this condition?"
"It seems that this guy really came here with sincerity. He even let people move into his own city."
Xiao Zhan, who was secretly giving up, said with a smile on the surface.
"This is indeed a good offer that I can't refuse, but we still have to discuss it with Shop Owner Xiao before we can decide on the final cooperation plan."
"That's natural. As long as our two families are unified, we can immediately go to Shop Owner Xiao to discuss it."
Ao Ba Pa nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's go find Shop Owner Xiao now."
Xiao Zhan proposed.
Ao Ba Pa nodded and followed Xiao Zhan to find Xiao Cheng to discuss the three-party cooperation.
