Du Guogong's mother's old lady's 60th birthday is the sixth day of the first month, a very good day, this old lady is indeed a blessed person, the biological father is the official department of Shangshu, the biological mother is the county lord of the prince's family, the husband married is the hereditary Guogong, and a son is also the Guogong, the daughter of the birth is married to the son of the county lord Ruihe, and the granddaughter is even more amazing, is the queen of the main palace today.

The ancestral home of the Du family is in Mengzhou, the old lady came back two years ago to help the old man's corpse, and Du Xiaobawang only came to Mengzhou from the capital at the beginning of last year to accompany his grandmother, and by the way, he was preparing for this year's 60th birthday.

Probably because Young Master Du's cousin is the queen's mother, so as soon as he came to Mengzhou, he became the head of the gentlemen here.

When I learned that Young Master Du only came more than half a year earlier than Zhang Yi, he was not a native of Mengzhou, let alone grew up watching "Liu Yiyi", Liu Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she and Young Master Du had not directly clashed, and Young Master Du said that "I haven't seen you for a few months" It is estimated that she has met from afar.

It has been less than three years since the death of the old prince of the Du family, so the old lady's birthday banquet is not a big one, and only some relatives and friends are invited to get together in the form of a family banquet.

Therefore, it is a great honor to receive the invitation of the Du family, which is equivalent to being regarded as his own person by the royal relatives and relatives, and Master Liu never imagined that he could also receive the invitation of the Du family, so he was overjoyed and prepared a generous gift to take his daughter together.

Liu Yiyi didn't dare, although Lin Yuxiao would definitely be seen at the Du family's banquet tomorrow, which was really a great temptation, but it was estimated that Qian Bao would also go, and the young masters of other families, it was written in the novel that "Liu Yiyi" beat up the children of Mengzhou City, so that as the first beauty in Mengzhou City, the family could not marry even if she was rich.

I was very happy when I read the novel, but now the consequences are all borne by her, Liu Yiyi can't be ridiculous, she doesn't know what those people look like, and she doesn't know how to make a feud, how will she deal with the other party if she wants to talk about the old things? Is it too late to pretend to have amnesia?

Liu Yiyi regretted that she didn't pretend to have amnesia when she found out that she crossed at the beginning, but there was no need at the time, Master Liu was the only relative of the original heroine, and the father and daughter just met to say hello, she didn't come to see her when she didn't go out of the embroidery building for a day, and no one blamed her for not being filial piety when she didn't eat in the house.

Liu Yiyi guessed that there was a difference between men and women in ancient times, and the father and daughter would not be too close, to be honest, she was quite glad to have this ancient ceremony.

Another one that has the closest relationship with "Liu Yiyi" is the personal maid Huan Ying'er, who is more worried about letting Ying'er find a flaw than Liu Yiyi, but fortunately, she is not surprised at all by the change in Ying'er's simple personality.

Wouldn't anyone who knows "Liu Yiyi" in the entire Mengzhou City find her different? Liu Yiyi didn't dare to imagine that her luck could be as good as this.

"Can I not go?" Liu Yiyi reluctantly gave up the opportunity to see Lin Yuxiao.

"How's that going to work?" Master Liu disagreed, "This is the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Du family, how can someone who has a wife and daughter in the family not bring it over to pay homage to the old lady, if you don't go, what's the difference between you and us not going?" The same is not to give face to the Du family, not to give face to the queen, do you still want to marry Lord Qincha in the future? ”

This Qin cha is not Bi Qin cha, using the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, Liu Yiyi told stories and jokes, coaxing Old Master Liu very happy, she implicitly hinted that she had a fancy for Lin Yuxiao, although Old Master Liu did not approve but did not object, after all, whether the surname Yue or the surname Lin are Qin Cha, the status is the same.

No matter which Qincha lives in the palace, especially Lin Yuxiao and Li Mu...... Growing up with the emperor since childhood, if she offends the queen's mother's family, there will be one more obstacle to chasing Lin Yuxiao, and even if she chases her, she will definitely have to enter the palace after returning to the capital with Lin Yuxiao, can she avoid not seeing the queen?

"I'll go!" Liu Yiyi took out the courage to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, and she was willing to do anything for Lin Yuxiao.

"That's good." Master Liu was very happy, "By the way, Yiyi, your cooking skills are so good, why don't you make a snack for the old lady of the Du family, this sincerity is more valuable than anything else." ”

She is not afraid to go, why is she afraid to send snacks? Liu Yiyi promised: "What does Daddy think I should do?" If you don't want to try Jiangmi roasted wheat again, Young Master Du said that the old lady likes to eat this. ”

"The old lady likes to eat, Jiang Mi Roasted Wheat will definitely be indispensable at the birthday banquet, it will be a little redundant for you to do it again, more detailed, it is better to say that the Du family chef will lose face, and it will make the master lose face than the Du family cook, it is better to do what everyone has not eaten, as for Jiang Mi Roasted Wheat, it will be made privately for the old lady to taste in the future." Master Liu said thoughtfully.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Liu Yiyi fully agrees with Master Liu's analysis, it seems that Master Liu can occupy a place among the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, not only because of his weight.

After making up her mind to go, Liu Yiyi wants to please the old lady of the Du family, so what kind of snacks to make? Shou peach? People must have prepared for longevity, I don't know if there are 100 peaches in this world, a large longevity peach contains ninety-nine small noodles longevity peaches, and everything is absolutely shocking, but it is a pity that she will not do it whether there is a time and space or not.

The local people know the local situation best, Liu Yiyi went to the big kitchen to consult a few masters, and finally figured out that Jiangnan people like to be fine, and the old people's delicate and soft and auspicious dim sum are the most popular.

The big kitchen of the Liu family has a lot of molds engraved with auspicious patterns, and there is no need for Liu Yi to look for it in a hurry.

No better, when Liu Yiyi was still Zhang Yi, the hotel where she worked undertook the 80th birthday of a big boss's mother, and the dim sum at the famous wine banquet must be handmade, and the rice, flour, oil, sugar, etc. are checked by a special person to check the invoices of the purchase, proving that it is indeed a green and environmentally friendly origin before letting it be used.

For the sake of money, the hotel owner invited a few retired old chefs and asked them to cook in the old way.

I didn't expect her to really come to ancient times, and she really had to use the old method to make the best fruit cake she learned in her previous life.

The so-called pulp extraction is to use protein liquid or soy milk to bring out the impurities of the syrup used to make cakes, but if the sucrose used is of the highest quality, this step can be omitted if the texture is pure.

First, the granulated sugar is dissolved in water, the starch syrup is added to the syrup, and then added to the flour when it is cooled, and the oil and alkaline noodles are stirred evenly.

It is called a hundred fruits, and the filling is indispensable, cooked flour, sesame oil, green plum, osmanthus, raisins, walnut kernels, pine nut kernels, melon seed kernels, sugar winter melon, and ...... The stuffing for the elderly should be fine, and there should be no things too hard and too big.

The crust is filled with a wooden mold to press out an auspicious pattern, and then it is baked on the stove, and the cake is ready.

The first stove, Master Liu, Ying'er, and the master of the big kitchen all tasted it, and they all applauded, and Master Liu even ate three in a row, of course, these three were equal to a drop in the bucket for him, and he asked his daughter to do it again.

These ancient people all praised it, proving that she could handle the dim sum, Liu Yiyi baked eight more furnaces, and as a result, Master Liu ate five more in a row!

Too much! Liu Yiyi was not distressed about the cakes, but was afraid that Master Liu would be injured, but fortunately, Master Liu had nothing, and he ate two bowls of rice and three dishes for dinner half an hour later, and he was a little regretful because he ate Baiguoti Pulp Cake first and ate one bowl of rice and two dishes less than usual.

Liu Yiyi was surprised by the amount of food he ate every time she had dinner with Master Liu, and she still didn't get used to it, but she didn't dare to say anything about persuading Master Liu to lose weight.

The next morning, Liu Yiyi got up early and baked two furnaces of Baiguo pulp cakes, one for her own breakfast, and the other for the high-grade lacquer food box, for the old lady of the Du family as a birthday gift.

Since crossing over, Liu Yiyi still went out with Master Liu for the first time, and the two took a sedan chair respectively, Master Liu's sedan chair was extraordinarily wide, and the four sedan chairmen were also particularly powerful.

Liu Yiyi calculated the time, about 20 minutes or more they arrived at Du Guogong's mansion, probably because the old Guogong had passed away for less than three years, and the old lady's birthday mansion was not decorated with lights, and the Du Mansion was not wearing red, Du Guogong was only wearing a dark blue new robe, standing at the gate with a smile to welcome guests.

"Du Guogong, congratulations!" Master Liu took his daughter forward to say a few polite words, and then asked Liu Yiyi and the female housekeeper of the Du family to go inside to see the old lady, while he stayed outside to chat with the familiar male guests.

In ancient times, banquets were separated from men and women, and Liu Yiyi still had this common sense, so she didn't insist on staying in front, although she really wanted to see if Lin Yuxiao was here.

The first thing the housekeeper took Liu Yiyi to see was a middle-aged lady, she was lucky, there happened to be a young lady in front of her to salute the middle-aged lady, and when it was the turn of the housekeeper to introduce her, she had a good fortune to say goodbye: "The daughter of the Liu family in Mengzhou Baoying has seen Mrs. Hu." ”

"This is the number one beauty in Mengzhou City?" Du Guogong's wife looked her up and down with a smile, and with Mrs. Hu's words, a few deliberately disdainful sneers sounded next to her.

This Duchess doesn't like her, and is suspected of using her as a target, Liu Yiyi is vigilant, and her face makes herself a little more innocent: "Mrs. Hu said that she laughed, what is the first beauty in Mengzhou City, if the sisters let me coax me to play, if nothing else, which of the daughters that Mrs. Hu saw today is not a beauty." ”

“…… Yo, this little mouth is powerful enough...... Mrs. Hu's smile did not change, but her eyes looked at Liu Yiyi a few points, Miss Liu heard that she was a brainless crazy girl, she has always been faster than she spoke, but it is not the same when I saw it with my own eyes today.

"Who's here again?" An old lady was helped by two young men, one left and one right.

"Mother......" Mrs. Hu bowed her head first, and the ladies present understood that it was the main person who appeared today, so the older ones made their smiles more kind and close, and the younger ones made their appearances more cute......
