Chapter 17: Dim Sum
Cui Wanqing was pondering carefully in her heart at the moment, "Is it better to give a copy of the Lotus Sutra to my grandmother, or a copy of the Diamond Sutra?" ”
"In addition to a pair of shoes embroidered by yourself, a forehead wipe, and two handkerchiefs, what else should I add?"
It stands to reason that this is indispensable for the elders to worship longevity, peaches, fruits and the like, these are all exquisite, this way down, there is no twenty taels of silver, I'm afraid I can't take it, I just sigh that I don't have money in my hand now, and I can only think of something else.
For example, if you can't afford this longevity peach, you can draw a pair!
If you can't afford the fruit, you can cook it yourself and make some fresh snacks to eat as gifts, which can show a piece of sincerity and not cost any money.
"Why don't you come up with a few dim sum that are not quite the same as the house, tomorrow early in the morning, I will personally go to the small kitchen to try it, the old lady has just made the decision to leave himself, how to say that he has to inherit the love of his grandmother, just make some delicious snacks to honor her old man." Here she was thinking about things when she heard a commotion outside.
I couldn't help but be surprised, what was going on? There was a commotion in the old lady's house.
Cui Wanqing went out by herself, but it was not suitable, so she sent Ah Tao out to have a look.
"It's the old lady who wants to organize a wedding banquet for Sister Lilac and Sister Furong, aren't the mothers who have the face in the back room, you listen to the excitement, but it's the mothers who are flattering the old lady and happy."
Ah Tao also had a smile on her face, and she was still holding a few pieces of snacks in her hand, afraid that the mother would reward her.
Cui Wanqing relieved her heart at this time, and couldn't help but think: "I want to give gifts and talk about filial piety on my grandmother's birthday, but I forgot about it, and now I have lived in my grandmother's room. Can you cross the road before your grandmother? ”
The next day, Cui Wanqing didn't want to join in the excitement of the wedding, who knows if there is anyone in Songcui Courtyard for the second lady of Cui, she is making do with it, isn't it nothing?
She took Ah Tao, followed the magnolia that her grandmother had just given her, and the three of them went to the small kitchen in the backyard.
Cui Wanqing thought of two soft and sweet snacks according to the preferences of the old man last night, one is the crystal rose osmanthus cake, which is made of fresh rose petals, glutinous rice, honey and fine sugar, and now the roses are blooming just right, which is the pastry of the season.
The other is a nine-layer cake with red dates and ginger juice, Cui Wanqing also added codonopsis and honey to it, which has the effect of dissipating cold and stomach, nourishing qi and nourishing blood, and the old man's home is very good.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Cui Wanqing looked around and saw that there were fresh prawns, so she asked her mother in the kitchen to help deal with them, chop them into shrimp paste, and plan to make some shrimp small pot stickers later.
I also made a mille-feuille peanut salty snack to make four dishes, the combination of these two sweet and salty is the most suitable, sweet and salty, and it will not be too greasy to use.
The people in the small kitchen were all Mrs. Cui's henchmen, Cui Wanqing didn't plan to show favoritism at all, and asked clearly who was best at making small snacks to eat, so she only moved her mouth, and in less than an hour, she sorted out the four kinds of dim sum.
I saw the osmanthus cake cut into a diamond shape, crystal tender white, mixed with red rose petals during the period, looking at it makes people have an appetite.
And the small one, which can almost be eaten one by one, is browned in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the small pot stickers of shrimp meat are even more hooked.
The nine-layer cake with red dates and ginger juice, as well as the mille-feuille peanut salty snacks, are also to be sold and tasteful, and the mothers of the three chefs are happy enough.
Cui Wanqing asked Yulan to pick those that were in good condition, hit a box, and personally held it for the old lady, and asked Ah Tao to send one to Mrs. Cui, as for Yulan, she gave it to Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui San and Mr. Kong did not fall behind.
The rest is the people who have cheapened the kitchen.
Mrs. Cui had already heard that Cui Wanqing personally cooked for her, thinking that her granddaughter wanted to show filial piety, but she really didn't think about how good a child could make dim sum.
Who really thought, Cui Wanqing opened the lid of the box with a smile, and personally served four plates of dim sum with white jade lotus plates.
Mrs. Cui's eyes were immediately attracted by these snacks with good color and flavor.
She only felt that she smelled this fragrance and looked at this appearance, and her tongue was full of appetite.
After tasting it in the service of Hibiscus, it is even more admired from the heart.
Speaking of which, Cui Wanqing's four dim sum, except for shrimp pot stickers, the Cui family often makes them, but they have gone down in details.
For example, in this osmanthus cake, more milk and rose petals are added, and the taste is immediately different, with more milk and floral fragrance, the color and luster are beautiful in red and white, and the taste is also rich in milk, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, which can be regarded as full of color and flavor.
Mrs. Cui used every kind of dim sum, especially the red date and ginger juice nine-layer cake, which actually used more than half of it.
couldn't help but praise: "Nine girls have good skills, it's really surprising, when did you learn this ability?" Tell me about it, and let my grandmother hear it. ”
Cui Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, and said honestly: "Good grandmother, where does the granddaughter know what to do in the kitchen?" It's just that after reading a few more books, my horizons and thoughts have broadened a bit, and I wondered what it would be like to add some other ingredients to ordinary pastries. ”
"You see, for example, take the red dates and ginger juice nine-layer cake you just like to eat, our family usually makes ginger cake, and my granddaughter thinks that you are older, it should not only be to drive away the cold, but also to nourish the blood and qi."
"So I added red dates and codonopsis to it, removed the caster sugar, and added honey, so that not only the ginger juice is light and does not rob the taste, but also the entrance is sweet and not greasy, is it refreshing to eat now?"
Seeing that the old lady nodded again and again, Mo Lianxuan changed her words and begged with a smile: "The granddaughter is just talking on paper, these snacks are still made by your mother in the small kitchen, if you feel good, you can reward them." ”
After hearing her words, Mrs. Cui was a little touched in her heart: "This child was so suppressed by his mother-in-law that he couldn't even go to Jinghui Academy, which he should have gone to a long time ago, why did he learn so many things in private?" ”
"The most rare thing is not a dead reader, I know how to use my own brain, I used to be afraid that I was ruthless by my mother-in-law, and I always wished that everyone couldn't see her, but now she is much more dexterous." Old Madam Cui couldn't help but think silently, "When did it start to change?" ”
At the beginning, Mrs. Cui also helped Cui Wanqing in private, think about it, if it wasn't for Mrs. Cui secretly signaling, how could the Cao family see Cui Wanqing?
It's a pity that Cui Wanqing is not angry, and because she is afraid of things, she even turned away her uncle's house.
In the end, the Cao family was cold-hearted, and Mrs. Cui was too lazy to bother with a useless person.
Now that I saw an unexpected Cui Wanqing, Mrs. Cui's mind was opened, "The ninth girl is a serious concubine in the second room, and her uncle's house is still the Ming'an Hou Mansion, if she is a promising person, her future prospects are unlimited!" ”
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui was in a good mood, and said to Mother Shu with a smile: "Go, give three hundred big money to the people in the small kitchen, and say that Miss Nine asked for it for them." ”
After speaking, he beckoned to Cui Wanqing, asked her to sit beside her, and asked with a smile: "Good boy, although you only moved your mouth, but grandmother also inherited your filial piety." Tell me, what do you want your grandmother to reward you? ”
