Chapter 44: Sweet Tooth Strategy 2

Almond tofu is made by grinding sweet almonds and boiling them with water, and then cutting them into pieces after freezing and coagulation, and is named because it resembles tofu.

Wash the sweet almonds, soak them in boiling water and peel them, then grind them into a slurry with a blender, and then filter the slag with gauze to get almond juice, filter them and put them in a hot pot, add milk to boil, and set aside. The scallops are boiled into gelatinous juice, and sugar is boiled with water to make sugar water. Add gelatin, sugar water and almond juice to the net porcelain and stir well, cool and put it in the refrigerator to freeze and condense into a tofu-like shape.

When eating, cut the tofu into a diamond shape with a knife, put the iced sugar water and crisp cheese in the ice cellar in the large soup bowl, push the almond tofu inside, and add oranges, cherries, honey osmanthus.

Sweet almonds are partial to nourishing and have a certain tonic effect on the lungs. Correct consumption will quench thirst, moisten the lungs and relieve asthma, especially in the hot summer season, a mouthful of smooth and soft, like an initiation, cool air along the mouth to the root of the tongue, and along the throat to the top beam door, down to the entire viscera.

With a whole bowl, the anxiety in my heart is swept away unconsciously.

"Huh......" Qu Jincun, the master of the East Palace, didn't speak for a long time after using this sweet.

It seems to be a taste, and it seems to be an inference.

"Pass on the person who made this dessert." He commanded the high steward who stood beside him.

Manager Gao answered, and a moment later, a big fat man with gray hair and a shiny face walked in nervously and excitedly.

"Zhang Xingwang, the head chef of the white case in the slave maid's imperial dining room, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The big fat man bowed to the ground with difficulty, and it could be seen that his intentions were extremely pious.

Qu Jincun, the prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, had the title of "evil god" at the age of fifteen, resisting the barbarians invading the northern country and killing all directions.

Because he had no brothers or sisters, his position as the crown prince was extremely secure, and the emperor favored him very much, and almost obeyed him.

In the folk word of mouth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom is the heavenly Erlang God of War, born beautiful and heroic, and his great power makes other countries dare not come to attack, and he is able to assist his father to adjust a number of national policies, reduce taxes, be diligent and love the people, and is a rare good master.

But in the palace, the narrative is completely different.

-- Anyone who begs for a living in the palace knows that the prince is gloomy and irritable, loves sweets and hates people, and often gets angry because he doesn't like what he eats or is unintentionally bumped into.

For the palace people and servants, they were afraid and loved him.

In the imperial dining room, because many people are from poor backgrounds, they have a lot of reverence for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who can let the people eat, especially the white case chefs of Zhang Xingwang's faction.

"Almond tofu is well done today," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qu Jincun sat high in the shadows at the top, making it impossible to see his expression, "Reward." ”

Zhang Xingwang, the master of the white case who fell to the ground, was overjoyed and lowered his body a little more.

"However, there is a fly in the ointment," only to hear the indifferent, cold and soothing voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sound above, "the appearance is not very good, and a few pieces of tofu are not neatly cut." ”

Zhang Xingwang, who had just felt a sense of accomplishment, changed his face in fright, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Highness, this bowl of almond tofu was made by the slave's apprentice, and the slave and maid didn't notice it for a while and gave it to His Highness, begging His Highness to spare his life!" ”

On the main seat of the study, there was a faint cold snort.

"Passing the buck? What a big dog guts. Qu Jincun scolded softly, "How many heads do you have?" ”

Poof, Zhang Xingwang was frightened by the majestic momentum of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Your Highness spares your life...... "In addition to begging for mercy, Zhang Xingwang didn't dare to ask for merit to say a word.

On the side, Manager Gao Hui Zhenlan saw His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, lowered his voice and drank Zhang Xingwang's words: "Good dog, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a good mood today, go and find your apprentice to come over, so that His Highness can ask him in person!" ”

Like catching a handful of straw when he was drowning, Zhang Xingwang was like being amnestied, crawled backwards, and after going out, he led his little apprentice over as quickly as possible, and pushed "him" into the prince's study with his own hands.

-- At this time, who cares about inheriting the mantle, it is only right to find someone to take the blame, this white case master is so calculating.

Molly stumbled into the study, and a sweet aroma was so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe.

It was as if someone had poured several pots of pots of pots of potpourri honey into this room, making the atmosphere of the whole room feel like fish jelly about to solidify.

And Molly felt that she was the little fish that was slowly solidifying by the fish jelly.

"Look up." Someone above said indifferently, his voice was thick and silky, sounding like a person in his thirties.

Molly, who was lying on the ground, blinked quietly, and then slowly straightened her waist, but her eyebrows were lowered, and she did not "unruly" boldly watch the people in the seat.

Qu Jincun, who was sitting on the top and hanging his hands, couldn't help but let out a soft "pout" when he saw her face.

"Have you seen you before?" He asked.

"......," Molly's eyelashes drooped and she almost closed her eyes, and she replied softly, "No, Your Highness." ”
