Chapter Eighty-Three: And the Fruit

Shen Anyan chatted with Chen Chuyi in the lobby, and when the two women were together, it was nothing more than cosmetics and bags.

When talking about her ex-boyfriend's mask, Su Zifang came out with a delicate tray with two rows of finished strawberry Daifuku and Xue Meiniang.

There is also a pot of black tea in the tray, which is just right to drink.

"I'm getting more and more sensible, and I know that tea needs to be served with refreshments. Chen Chuyi did not hesitate to praise Su Zifang for the opportunity, and pretended to be surprised to look at Shen Anyan: "An Yan, what kind of dessert is this, it always feels like your little girl likes to eat." ”

"It's neon refreshments, snow and strawberry Daifuku. Shen Anyan explained seriously, and also told Chen Chuyi the origin of these two kinds of refreshments.

As early as the Muromachi period, many missionaries from Portugal and the West came to Neon across the ocean, and they were accompanied by food they carried, including many Western desserts, such as chicken cakes and konpeito.

Inspired by cakes, Neon invented a food called "quail cake". The same is wrapped in glutinous rice skin, but the filling is only red bean paste. It is much larger than the current Daifuku, and somewhat similar to the size of a domestic pie.

However, because of the high price of sugar in the early days, the taste of quail cake is salty, and the red bean filling inside is also very grainy, which is not exquisite at all, just a food used by ordinary neon families to satisfy the stomach.

After the monk Jianzhen traveled to the east and brought the sugar extraction technology, the sugar gradually became popular, and this was the second development of quail cakes.

It is said that an ordinary woman made improvements in the making of quail cakes, not only reducing the size, but also adding sugar to the red bean paste and glutinous rice skin. As a result, the taste of the quail cake has improved by leaps and bounds, and it has become the prototype of Daifuku today.

Because the newly made quail cake is a reference to the Tang Dynasty's fruit technique, it was named Wagashi in honor of this tradition.

After the introduction of the tea ceremony, tea drinking became a symbol of the nobility, and Sen no Rikyu, the originator of the neon tea ceremony, combined the tea ceremony with the sweets, and established a system of elegant and common appreciation according to different solar terms, festivals, and sacrifices.

This gives more meaning to the sweets, which were originally only used as refreshments.

For example, in order to reflect the sense of luxury of the literati and nobles, the fruit should pay attention to color matching, the seasons change, and the scenery can be metaphorized by food.

Under such requirements, Wagashi also developed from a single white glutinous rice skin to a colorful skin, which is cherry pink in spring, kudzu green in summer, maple red in autumn, and snow-white in winter.

Later, in order to reflect the craftsmanship of Wagashi, the water content of Wagashi was derived from the classification of raw fruits, semi-raw fruits, and dried fruits.

Because the raw fruit has a delicate and soft taste, it melts in the mouth. It also specially gave birth to high-level fruit making artists, who imitate the flowers, birds, fish, scenery and other forms of different seasons, and do it beautifully, which can be called the art of tea scenes, and is also known as the most refreshment.

Shen Anyan finished explaining seriously, and looked at the tray on the table again: "The two kinds that Zifang makes are actually not suitable for black tea." It would have been better if it had matcha. ”

"An Yan knows so much. Chen Chuyi praised with a smile.

"What's the matter, I just happened to learn flower arrangement with Ye Zheng for a period of time, and it happened to be part of the tea ceremony with fruits and flower arrangement, so I learned more. ”

"Nowadays, young people are not willing to learn much. Chen Chuyi said, looking at Su Zifang intentionally or unintentionally, "Anyway, Miss Shen is much better than my son." ”

Su Zifang: ......

"Can you be slapped in the face? Lie down and get shot? Also, it's not advisable to step on one hand! Be cautious, Mom!"

The inner drama is not over yet, and Shen Anyan's words have already been spoken.

"Auntie, you really misunderstood Su Shuai, he has a high talent in cooking, and I believe that he will inherit his grandfather's wish and carry forward the food. ”

Su Zifang listened to the conversation between the two and was confused.

How do you eat afternoon tea and talk about yourself to carry it forward?

And how did Shen Anyan know about her grandfather, it seems that Chen Chuyi and Shen Anyan brought a lot of private goods when they chatted.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Chen Chuyi said that he had asked his old classmate to go shopping, and asked Su Zifang to sit with Shen Anyan for a while.

"Mom, when did you have an old classmate in Jingling?" Su Zifang was shocked! He didn't even bother to contact his classmates when he came to Jingling, but his mother already had old classmates who could go shopping.

Are the relationships between middle-aged and elderly square dance troupes so strong?

"It's strange? I advertise for you every day in the circle of friends, and my old classmates came from Linzhou to play with me after seeing it. ”

Su Zifang: ???

My mother advertised food in the circle of friends, and I didn't know if the boss was unqualified or the employees were too powerful?

The fox suspiciously opened Chen Chuyi's WeChat circle of friends.

A horizontal line.

The Moments is only open to designated people.

Yes, it's very dear to Mom.

Su Zifang silently raised the phone and gave Chen Chuyi a look that you experienced.

"I obviously set it up for you to see it, wait, I'll take a look. Faced with ironclad evidence, Chen Chuyi still didn't believe it and wanted to struggle for the last time.

"Hehe, woman!" Su Zi tilted his head, indicating that he didn't want to hear this explanation.

Helping Chen Chuyi reopen the circle of friends, Su Zifang finally saw the advertising content that his mother said.

A little longer when I first opened the store.

The old lady bought a shop for her son in Jingling, hoping that he could inherit his father-in-law's craftsmanship and carry forward the restaurant. But this kid doesn't know about our shop yet, so he has to keep a low profile. ”

"My son has graduated, I don't know how I will feel when I see his shop?

"It's opened, it's opened, everyone near Jingling will go to eat for me, and the old lady will be reimbursed!"

"Yesterday, I cleaned up the warehouse and sent all the dry goods at home, and I don't know how my son's business is, the mortgage pressure is not small, tsk?"

"The old lady has arrived in Jingling, what about the person who swore that Dandan's would invite me to dinner?

This article has a plenary comment: "Revision is an oath, not an egg." ”

Su Zifang couldn't help but hold his forehead, his mother was really heroic and uninhibited.

A cursory sweep, and the latest ones.

"I just talked to China Merchants about the cooperation of Qingtuanzi, bacon, shrimp, salted egg yolk...... It's all meat! I want to eat and talk to me privately, and it's good and cheap. ”

"The refreshments made by my son, Japanese-style Japanese sweets, what are the strawberry Daifuku and Xue Mei Niang, the name is very good, it should be delicious, if there is anything you want to eat, leave a message and I will eat it for you. ”

......

During the period, there were also many friends with their father's messages below.

"My wife is the best!", "Old South graduated, yes, now he has opened his own restaurant." "It's very popular now, it's very prosperous!"

Full of dog food and show off.

I don't know why, looking at Chen Chuyi's circle of friends, Su Zifang's eyes were a little moist.

This damn wind and sand, squint!
