"Don't worry, this is fresh cream, and it needs to be refined to get butter."

Xia Qingyun took a few small spoons and let them all taste them.

"Well, it's fragrant and slippery!"

With only a small spoonful, Qingguo didn't eat enough, so he smacked his mouth and tasted, "Sister Qingyun, let's also raise a few cows in the treasure pavilion, and we have fresh cream to eat every day!" ”

"Okay, when the cow on Yao's shopkeeper Zhuangzi gives birth to calves, you can go and catch a few." Xia Qingyun replied casually. Unexpectedly, Qingguo took it seriously, and later really encircled a cattle farm in the treasure pavilion.

Two large barrels of milk only made two small pots of fresh cream, Xia Qingyun asked Qingju to bring a pot, go to the small kitchen and boil it over low heat, stirring while cooking.

After the fresh cream is heated, a layer of light yellow grease gradually precipitates, and the grease is collected in a small jar, covered with a lid, and placed outside the house for half an hour, when it condenses and hardens, and looks pale yellow, which is butter.

"What about the rest of the milk?" Qingju asked, Qingguo and Qingye got it from afar, and it would be a pity to make so much cream and butter, and to throw the rest away.

Xia Qingyun waved his hand, "Put them all in the treasure pavilion and keep them to drink slowly." ”

These are skim milks, nutritious and fat, anyway, they won't spoil if they are kept in the treasure pavilion for a long time.

"By the way, put the whipped cream in as well."

Whipped cream is different from butter, butter can be frozen, and whipped cream will not be good if it freezes and then melts.

"That's it!" Xia Qingyun stretched his waist, "It's the third watch, go to bed early." Let's start making cakes early tomorrow morning! ”

As soon as the sky was bright, she took Qingju to work in the small kitchen.

The jujube is boiled, peeled and pitted, finely ground into a puree with the boiled wolfberry, sifted into flour, and added beaten egg yolk, butter, whipped cream and sugar to form a batter.

Qingju dipped it with chopsticks and tasted it, the taste was sweet and sweet, with the mellow aroma of milk, "Sister Qingyun, is the next thing to steam the batter?" ”

Xia Qingyun shook a finger. "It's steamed and it's caked. It's not the cake, the key steps are behind. ”

She took the remaining egg whites, added a few spoonfuls of sugar, and added two drops of fruit vinegar. Whip vigorously with a whisk.

The bright egg whites gradually turn into snow-white foam. The foam is getting thinner. Until the egg whites at the bottom of the basin swelled into a small half basin of snow-white meringue with a satin-like sheen. It was upside down and firmly stuck to the basin and didn't fall off at all.

"Wow!" Qingju was stunned, Xia Qingyun tugged at her braids, "Don't be stunned, help me get a small shovel." ”

She dug out a small half of the meringue from the basin, mixed it into the batter, quickly stirred it with a spatula, and then poured it back into the basin containing the meringue, and handed it to Qingju, "Mix it as I did just now, don't draw circles." ”

Qingju glanced at the batter and mixed it well, Xia Qingyun had already heated the prepared stone pot slightly, took the batter and put it in, fastened the lid tightly, and baked it over low heat.

At the time of half a pillar of incense, a strange fragrance floated out of the pot, Qingju squinted and sniffed, just smelling the fragrance, it made people salivate.

After the cake was baked and cooled, Xia Qingyun cut it into a large square piece with a knife, and then divided it into two layers from the middle and cut it into two layers.

Whip the whipped cream into a thick cream cream, sandwich it in the middle of the cake, and spread a layer on top of it.

She tilted her head and thought about it, and then cut a whole piece of cake into inch-square pieces, exactly one bite at a time.

On the top of each piece of cake, a little jam is ordered with a spoon, and the light brown cake is lined with snow-white cream cream, and the snow-white is lined with a little red, which makes people appetizing when they look at it.

"Come, open your mouth." Xia Qingyun pinched a piece and sent it to Qingju.

"Ah, let me eat?" Qingju was surprised, "Isn't this made for the Queen Mother?" ”

"The first time we do it, we have to taste it ourselves." I can't help but stuff it into her mouth.

The sweet and sour jam, the creamy cream, and the sweet, mellow and delicate cake melted together in Qingju's mouth, "Hmm! Not! Qingju closed her eyes and jumped straight to her feet with two small fists, "It's so delicious!" It's so delicious, it's so delicious! ”

Xia Qingyun took a food box with vermilion lacquer painted with gold, put a thin layer of cotton paper on it, and placed the cake neatly inside, "Let's go, let the two mothers taste it!" ”

As soon as she entered, Mrs. Zhenguo's eyes widened, she had never eaten such a delicious thing in her life. The mother also nodded again and again in surprise, "I'm afraid that even the gods have to applaud this taste, the Queen Mother likes it!" ”

"Qingyun, you're too capable!" Mrs. Zhenguo couldn't help but eat another piece, "What's the name of this snack?" I eat it like it has the aroma of cow's milk, but it doesn't smell, it's much stronger than cow's milk. ”

"Mother is really amazing, it is added with fresh cream and butter extracted from milk, well, it is the essence of milk. As for the name, it's called Zizhi Cream Cake! ”

Fresh cream and butter are nutritious, can nourish blood and soothe the nerves, as long as they are not consumed in excess, they are very good for the human body, especially suitable for people who are weak after illness. Xia Qingyun added red dates, wolfberries and purple mushroom spore powder to it, which had a more promoting effect on the recovery of the Queen Mother's disease.

Mrs. Zhenguo said again: "It's my turn to enter the palace after tomorrow, I don't know if this Zizhi cream cake is delicious after a long time?" ”

"It's best to eat and cook now, my mother can rest assured, and I'll bake another one when the time comes!"

With that said, there was not much whipped cream and butter left, and she went back to her room, ready to let Qingguo run to the river again.

Qingguo and Qingye smiled: "Sister Qingyun, you just have to wait." ”

The two of them had already agreed with Yao Xili, and for the next three days, the newly squeezed milk every day was sent to the palace quickly.

Sure enough, in the evening, fresh milk arrived. Without Xia Qingyun's orders, Qingmei and the others made fresh cream and butter in the same way and put them in the treasure pavilion for preservation.

Although the cream cake is delicious, it has a high fat content, and you can't eat too much, which is enough to last until the queen mother recovers. As for the two mothers, there is a seven-star spring water to recuperate, and the effect is a hundred times better than that of cow's milk.

On the day when Mrs. Zhenguo entered the palace to sleep, Xia Qingyun got up early to bake the cake, cut it into small pieces and put it in the food box, and repeatedly instructed that even if the Queen Mother liked it, she should eat at most three pieces per meal, and she must not eat more.

After waiting for a day of anxiety, Mrs. Zhenguo rushed back the next morning.

"The Queen Mother likes it very much! It's a total of nine pieces, and it's gone this morning, urging me to come back and get some more. Mrs. Zhenguo's face was full of spring breeze, and she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she asked Xia Qingyun to hurry up and bake another one, and she had to rush back to present it to the Queen Mother.

In the next few days, Xia Qingyun baked fresh cakes every day, Si Hongrui asked people to send them directly to the palace, and the wife of the province worked back and forth.

Mrs. Zhenguo asked someone to bring a message, saying that the Queen Mother had already seen her and could take the medicine, and she would be back in two days.

When she returned to the palace from the palace, she lost a lot of weight, and taking care of the sick was the most tiring, not to mention that it was the queen mother who took care of her, Xia Qingyun was busy asking Qingju to make soup for her mother.

The days flickered, and it was the day of the canonization ceremony of the lord of Taiping County. (To be continued......)
