The pregnant fish and Mama Lin were excluded from the people who turned over the cabinets, but they were not excluded from the people who learned to make pastries. All new skills are put in the forefront, the best to listen to the class, and the most difficult to be touched, not to be special or afraid of squeezing their stomachs.

Yun'er decided to start making Western pastries officially, and there were already Westerners opening Western restaurants in the bustling streets of the capital. However, the Qing people were relatively conservative, and few people went in generously to taste Western food and pastries. It may be that the price of Western food and Western pastries is relatively expensive, and the taste is not the same as that of Chinese food, so few people know what the taste of big-nosed food is. And at that time they also had very few varieties of pastries.

"Today we are learning how to make anhydrous honey cake. The main ingredients are: flour, sugar, salt, eggs, oil, ......"

Yun'er explained while demonstrating, and when the time for the cake to bake came, Yun'er turned off the heat and turned on the oven. Everyone smelled the cake. Everyone sent a piece to taste, sweet, fluffy, melted in the mouth, and all of them had smiles on their faces.

The first time I made twenty pieces of cake, I didn't count enough points, and I made another thirty pieces. This time, it was Mama Jiang, Mama Lin, Yu'er, Shui'er, Qing'er, and Ji'er who operated it, and Yun'er gave him time. After it came out of the oven, it felt basically the same as what Yun'er did, so it was mixed together, two pieces for each of the four children of Daddy and Mother, six pieces for Yu'er and Mama Lin, and the rest were all sent to Wang Ye Fujin.

This time the snacks were sent by Yun'er and Yu'er, and the little eunuch Lehe, who carried the food box, arrived at Yiran Tower.

After tasting it, Fu Jin said: "Sister, you are really a capable person, what do you look like." ”

"This is the simplest of the pastries, and there are many of them. Western dim sum is mostly fluffy, while Chinese dim sum is crispy. ”

"If my sister has more time, tell her the recipe, my sister also has an oven here, I want to try it."

"Okay, which sister brought me pen and paper?"

The beard hurriedly brought her pen. Yun'er wrote the recipe for making waterless honey cake to Fu Jin, and came back with Yu'er, Jixiang, and Lehe. Let's see if there is still time, let Shui Er find the fish, and Mama Jiang, Mama Lin, and the little maids Qing'er and Ji'er. I made a tiger skin cake. It is also fluffy series, and it feels much higher than the grade of waterless honey cake. In particular, the shape of the roll and the taste of the taste are different. Then I made a small biscuit. This is made for baby babies, add a little biscuit to their milk, and it will melt when they enter the water, which is hungrier than simple milk. The two children are becoming more and more fond of food, probably because the food is smelly.

Yun'er instructed Shui'er to send a tiger skin cake to Fu Jin, and Fu Jin wanted to eat it when he saw it, but he ended up eating a large piece. Zheng, Liu, Mustache, and Bun, the four grandmothers who served closely, each received half a piece. As soon as I finished eating, I couldn't help it: "Fujin, the slave wants to make pastries with Master Yun." ”

"Don't make fabrics? Shouldn't you teach Mama? ”

"The one that doesn't delay! The mustache just looks at the process, and doesn't rush to do it with others. ”

"When Master Yun comes, you can tell her."

When Yun'er and Yu'er delivered the tiger skin cake and small biscuits to the old lady's room, Bei Bei smelled the fragrance, and when Yun'er just lifted the handkerchief on the plate containing the biscuits, Bei Bei stretched out her fat hand and grabbed a biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth.

"This kid, why is he so close to eating?" Yun'er said.

Mrs. Chen explained: "This is almost the case for a child of this age, he can smell the aroma of the food. Hey, what kind of dim sum did you just bring? ”

"It's the tiger skin cake and biscuits that Yun'er tried to make today. When you give baby Beibei a small piece of milk, you can soak a few pieces in the milk, and it melts when you enter the milk, and you scoop it with a spoon with the milk for them to drink, which is more hungry than drinking milk alone. ”

"Are you okay, how many kinds of dim sum have you made?"

"Didn't you learn from your eldest sister in a foreign land? The children are asleep, you and Dad have a taste, give Feng Mama and Yang Er, and Miss Liu Er a taste, and I'll go back. ”

Yun'er left, and Mrs. Chen said to Mama Feng distressedly: "Seeing that Yun'er is busy, I don't have the time to say a word." Let's try her dim sum. Oh, it's so delicious, Miss Liu'er, you can send a few pieces to the study for the master. ”

"Sir, this is the cake that Master Yun just made, and Madame asked the slave maid to bring it to you to taste." Liu Er placed the cake on the table in front of Mr. Chen.

"Okay, you put it down, I'll taste it right away." The gentleman's attention was on the book, and he didn't pay attention to what Liu Er was brought. But he smelled the fragrance, put down the book, and looked at the dim sap, the surface was crimson, and the inside was tender yellow. The gentleman was a little greedy, picked up a piece of tiger skin cake, took a bite, and said in his heart, "It's delicious!" And he began to eat it. If this fluffy snack is too big, it's really easy to choke, and the gentleman chokes on "Ugh! Belch! "Ground hiccups.

When Madame heard this, she hurriedly came over and beat Mr. on the back: "Master, you are choking, hurry up and take a sip of tea." ”

"Yelling what? Belch! It's all right, uh! ”

Mrs. Chen wanted to laugh, afraid that her husband would be annoyed, he was the person who loved face the most.

After a few sips of tea, I went down. Self-deprecatingly said: "Such a big person can still choke on eating." ”

"It's you who are in a hurry and have a big mouth. Bei Bei also choked. ”

"Be careful, I'm choking, it's dangerous for children, but this snack is delicious. Leave some for the Liangzi. ”

"Needless to say? I set it aside a long time ago. Our girl is becoming more and more capable. ”

"Our son is not bad, calm and patient, the prince likes him very much. But I lost it since I was a child, and I suffered a lot. Madam, do you think he hates us in his heart? Aren't we just two fools? How can there be a child who doesn't know if he's lost? ”

"You didn't expect your sister-in-law to do that kind of thing. I see that Ryoko is very good to us, and she has no hatred. He doesn't like to talk because he doesn't hate anyone, haven't you heard that he is in the mountains at such a young age, who is he talking to? ”

"Also, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism both talk about cultivating the mouth, that is, they talk less and don't speak. Do you think Yun'er will feel uncomfortable? ”

"You're a person who thinks about things and wants to think about things. People tell you snacks, you are good, say son. ”

Yun'er's tiger skin cake is right to Fujin's thoughts: it is in good condition, it looks like a high-end food, and if it is sold, it will definitely be loved by the official eunuchs. Chao Yun'er asked for the recipe, and started to try it out in her small kitchen, and the people who participated in the trial were naturally Fu Jin and Mama Liu, Mama Liu, Bun'er, Master Xu, as well as Mama Dong and the four little girls who helped the cook. Of course, the little girl's responsibility is to make a start, and it is also an opportunity to learn if she can do it. The first time I made it, it looked a bit like a tiger skin cake, but it tasted like a hair cake. Yun'er asked for advice, Yun'er asked every link, and the result was that there were fewer eggs, and there was no egg beater, and then the heat did not arrive, and the color turned white. Yun'er told Fujin what to pay attention to in every link, and Yun'er quickly recorded it on the side. Yun'er didn't have a whisk there, so he sent one to Fujin and taught her how to use it. Fujin's style of doing things is that he will not lose, so he started the second round of experiments. There is nothing wrong with either link, but the baking time is a little longer, and it is hard to eat.

So the third test was finally done, and it was cut like a cloud and became a thick disc. Soft, soft, fragrant, melts in the mouth.

When the prince came back, he smelled the fragrance of West Pastry when he entered the house, and praised him: "You can embroider it, and you can also come to West Point?" ”

"The concubine has failed several times."

"There is a very classic saying in the foreign land, called 'failure is the mother of success', a success is mostly a fluke, do it a few times, the impression will be very deep, the lesson will be remembered, and you will not do it again next time. Normal, huh? Who fetches some water? I'm going to wash my hands and taste the masterpiece of our housewife. ”

"This was learned by the concubine from Yun'er, and I don't know if Yun'er has any other styles? If you have a little more variety, you can open a dim sum shop. ”

"Your proposal is very good, Yun'er has a lot of pastries in her hands. Do one kind a day, and you can't do it for half a year. ”

"That's good, we can make a fortune just by making pastries. Why don't you change the concubine's Huang Shop's store into a pastry shop? ”

"The hero sees the same thing, but the person who runs this time must be reliable, don't you have an aunt? Let her family come out to make snacks and sell them. ”

"Isn't that okay? As soon as there is something good, you think of the concubine and the relatives of the concubine. Dim sum is a ...... that Sister Yun learned to come back from."

"You're weird, don't we do business to make money for ourselves, aren't we sending it to the emperor's treasury? Your aunt's family is to contribute, and let them be franchised stores or consignment stores, and when the government is ready to send them to them, they will sell them. By the way, who is in your aunt's house? What do you do for a living? Where to stay? ”

"This aunt of mine is my mother's youngest sister, and her family has been in the customs for a long time. has been on the side of Xishan, he used to be a farmer, and then his eldest brother was admitted to the lifting of people and did not enter the jinshi, so he taught in that area. The second brother has been farming, and life is not very difficult. They've never been in business, so I think forget it. ”

"You say you're a person, why do you talk to me? Even if their lives are not difficult, there is nothing wrong with making a little more money, right? If it is not obvious, there is really a lack of businesses in the West Mountain. Do you have concerns? ”

"The concubine can't bear it, the skills that Yun'er brought back from afar have been used by the concubine's people......"

"You're thinking a lot. They can sell Chinese dim sum and then bring it with them to sell Western dim sum. However, a dim sum is not illegal to make guns or sell smuggled salt. is also the same as Nalan's department store and Yulong Cloth Village, and sends a few personal soldiers to protect them. The profit sharing has the emperor's work for the emperor. When you turned around, you ordered someone to go to your aunt's house and invite the old lady to come, and my aunt is a close relative, just because I, the prince, don't move around, I understand this. ”

"Lord Wang, you defend your concubines so much, your concubines ......"

"Okay, okay, it's not too careful. Isn't that a distraction from me? Yun'er has no problem there, you don't have to worry. Didn't she come back just to use the art after learning the craft? It would be nice to have our own business in the future. ”

Fujin's aunt rarely came to the house, because she felt that the threshold for her niece was too high, and she was an old lady from the countryside, for fear of offending the prince by her inconsiderate words.

Fu Jin instructed Mang Ge to invite his aunt, and the aunt had seen Mang Ge and knew that it was a relative of the prince, so she followed with confidence. The old lady's mother-in-law's surname is Shen, she is in her fifties this year, she is the youngest sister of Fujin's mother, and her appearance is really similar to Fujin.

When I met my niece, I burst into tears: "Xiu'er, look at what you live and wear, it's really not the atmosphere of ordinary people." If your mother were alive, she would have been able to help you. ”

"Yes, my mother left too early. You don't come to visit the door, and you see Xiu'er very much. ”

"It's not that my aunt is out with you, this is the palace, how can you just come and bother casually?"

"What's the bother? Qin Hui still has three poor relatives, not to mention that you are not poor. I wonder how life is going at my aunt's house? ”

"It's okay, your eldest brother runs a private school and teaches twenty or thirty children, and his life is okay."

"He doesn't want to be admitted to the Jinshi anymore?"

"Don't take the test, he said that the officialdom is too dark, so it's better to be a child king. Your second brother used to farm the land, but his daughter-in-law fell seriously ill and almost died. In order to treat his daughter-in-law's illness, he sold all his land, and now he works part-time. ”

"Then why don't you come to find Xiu'er?"

"How can I keep causing you trouble? Isn't there a saying? One hunger cannot provide a hundred to be satisfied. ”

"Look at what you said, you are Xiu'er's aunt! In this way, Xiu'er also has a shop, not far from you, the prince wants to open a dim sum shop, let the second brother be the shopkeeper, and two more people from your family will learn to make dim sum. ”

"How good is that? Making dim sum is a craft, how much silver does it cost? ”

"In the past ten years, Xiu'er hasn't helped you much, and now you are in difficulty, how can Xiu'er be worthy of her mother if she doesn't reach out and pull it? Don't think about it so much. The craft of making dim sum was learned by Fang Fujin when he traveled with the prince, so you can rest assured that your family will learn it, and don't pass on the recipe. ”

"Side Fu Jin Xue? Is this good? ”

"Don't worry, our sisters are doing well, just come."

Of course, Aunt Fujin and her niece are not outside, and her niece has given her a chance to learn art and make money, how can she not want it? When I got home, I told my second son. The craftsmen of that era were much more popular than the coolies who carried sacks, and my aunt's second son was called Shen Li, a simple young man, who had studied etiquette at home for several days before coming to the palace to recognize relatives and learn crafts. He was supposed to belong to the farmer's class, but he often worked in the city for a short time, and was more knowledgeable than the farmer who seldom went into the city. Under the leadership of the old lady, I went to the palace and met the prince's brother-in-law for the first time. Without saying a word, he kowtowed when he met, and the prince hurriedly helped the two aunts and brother-in-law up, for fear that he would be too nervous, so he chatted with him very kindly.

Shen Li's academic career began.
