Chapter 65: Osmanthus Cake
Fuyue pushed Zhu Nian to the stone table, and then pointed to the plate on the table: "Oh, that's it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhu Nian was a little tired, and slowly sat down on the stone bench with the corner of the table.
"Miss!" Mama Xu walked in from outside, and saw Zhu Nian looking at the osmanthus cake she made, and she was very happy.
"Mama Xu, come here. Zhu Nian beckoned to Mama Xu.
Zhu Nian pinched up a piece of osmanthus cake and looked at it carefully.
The color of this osmanthus cake is yellow and white, there are no spots, no impurities and the edges and corners are very complete.
Zhu Nian doesn't even need to put it on his nose to smell, he can smell a rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance is fragrant.
Zhu Nian opened his mouth, gently bit down the corner of the osmanthus cake, and found that it has a delicate and soft taste, no sugar, and the taste is sweet and delicious.
This special fragrance, even after eating, the aroma still lasts for a long time, and the fragrance is cool.
Zhu Nian closed his eyes and chewed the soft osmanthus cake carefully, with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and enjoyed it very much.
The osmanthus cake made by Mama Xu is considered to be some years.
Because it is made of natural osmanthus taken out after 3 years of slag removal and cellaring, it is refined into osmanthus sauce with traditional Chinese medicine spices such as cinnamon, woody fragrance, musk, and peilan.
Then mix it into the glutinous rice flour that is fried, grinded, steamed, and sieved, and then mixed with sugar, sesame, and salt water, so as to make osmanthus cake.
This is not the end of the story, at this time it is also necessary to moisten the osmanthus cake with water vapor, so that it can be left for a long time without breaking, and become a sweet and delicious pastry.
"Miss, are you okay eating osmanthus cake?" asked Mama Xu expectantly.
"Hmm. Zhu Nian took another bite, nodded and replied, "It's so delicious!"
"Really?" Mama Xu smiled in surprise, "That's really good, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it, Miss!"
"Let me guess what you have in this osmanthus cake. Zhu Nian said with a smile.
She picked up the second piece of osmanthus cake, took a gentle bite, and then closed her eyes to savor it.
"There seems to be musk, female cloves, incense. Zhu Nian said.
Then she opened her eyes, tilted her head and asked Mama Xu, "Mama, am I guessing right?"
"Ouch, Miss, your mouth is really amazing!" Xu Mama gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "This is the popular practice of osmanthus cake in our hometown, adding these Chinese medicine spices can strengthen the spleen and dissolve qi." ”
"Hehe, Mama, you've won the prize. Zhu Nian replied with a smile.
At this time, He Dachuan and Red Candle also walked into the bamboo garden, and Zhu Nian's eyes were sharp, and they were the first to notice them.
"Red Candle, Da Chuan, come and try the osmanthus cake made by Mama Xu!" Zhu Nian stretched out his hand and beckoned to the two.
"There are also me and Cai Ning who make osmanthus cakes!" Fu Yue added excitedly.
It was her first time cooking food, and although she didn't help much at the time, she was satisfied.
"Yes, yes, yes, and we Fuyue. Zhu Nian quipped to Fuyue, "Look at my memory, how can I forget you!"
"It's okay, it's okay, Fuyue forgives Miss. Fuyue looked innocent and replied seriously.
Red Candle and He Dachuan walked to Zhu Nian's side, and Zhu Nian directly pinched two pieces of osmanthus cake, stuffed one for each of them, and motioned for them to taste it.
Red Candle blinked, then took a bite of the osmanthus cake.
After chewing it twice, her eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically: "Mmmmmmmm
"I didn't expect that there was such a powerful chef hidden in our bamboo garden!" Zhu Nian said with a smile and looked at Mama Xu.
"Ouch, don't dare to be!" Mama Xu covered her mouth and replied embarrassedly, "Don't you dare to be, how can I compare to Miss!"
"Hehe, Mama, don't be modest, I really don't know how to make this osmanthus cake, you must teach me when you have time one day." Zhu Nian said.
She really doesn't know how to make osmanthus cakes, although her cooking skills are worthy of the name of the master, but there are also areas and types that have never been touched.
"Hehe, good!" Mama Xu happily closed her mouth.
Seeing such a big reaction from the red candle, He Dachuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and directly stuffed a whole piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, and ate a piece in one bite.
Undoubtedly, he is also full of praise for osmanthus cake.
"Oh, young man, eat slowly, don't choke!" Mama Xu said to He Dachuan.
She was very happy that the osmanthus cake she made was affirmed by everyone, and she kept chuckling.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhu Nian chatted with everyone again, then got up and went back to the room to rest.
..........
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Nian woke up late, and Zhu Anyou had already gone to school.
Zhu Nian got dressed, walked out of the room, then stretched and took a deep breath of fresh air.
A sentence suddenly flashed in her mind: The years are quiet, and the present world is stable.
Fuyue was playing with the fish by the pool, and when she saw Zhu Nian coming out, she quickly ran to Zhu Nian's side: "Miss, are you awake!
"Well, bring me a side dish and two hard-boiled eggs. Zhu Nian nodded slightly and began to stretch.
"Okay, I'll go to the big kitchen!" Fu Yue replied and trotted out of the bamboo garden.
After breakfast, Zhu Nian asked Fuyue to accompany him to wander around the Zhu Mansion.
Zhu Nian has two purposes: one is to soothe the mood, and the other is to see if the subordinates in the house are slack.
Because he had been busy with Tianxiang Pavilion for a while ago, circling around it, Zhu Nian had no time and energy to manage and beat the subordinates of Zhu Mansion.
After walking around, Zhu Nian was still quite satisfied, and there were two or three lazy subordinates, and everyone else was dutiful.
And those two or three subordinates were all fined a month's monthly money by Zhu Nian to set an example.
Walking to the back garden, Zhu Nian sat down in the gazebo and quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Although the back garden of Zhufu is not as grand as that in the palace, it is also a sparrow with all kinds of organs.
"Da Da Da" A messy footstep came from afar, and it was getting closer and closer to the back garden.
Zhu Nian looked in the direction of the footsteps, it turned out to be Zhu Yanran and her personal girl Bai Lian, followed by two eyed maids.
Zhu Nian stared at Zhu Yanran's figure from far and near silently, secretly guarded.
When Zhu Yanran walked past Zhu Nian, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Zhu Nian, her eyes shining with a gloomy and hateful light, like a sharp sword shining with cold light.
Zhu Nian looked back at Zhu Yanran suspiciously: When Tao was first arrested in prison, although Zhu Yanran always stared at him with resentful eyes, he was not as ruthless as he is now.
Is something going to happen?
At this moment, an old woman appeared in the direction where Zhu Yanran came.
Zhu Nian beckoned to her, "Mama, come over for a moment." ”
"Miss, do you have anything to do with me?" the old lady came over and asked respectfully.
"Do you know what Second Miss is going to do?" Zhu Nian asked.
"I don't know. The old lady shook her head and said, "But just now I heard the two little maids from outside talking to her, as if it was for Madame...... Dow's thing. ”
"Oh yes, then you can step aside. Zhu Nian nodded, thoughtful.
