Chapter Thirty-Eight: Amazing Snacks
"Master, what is this called, it's so beautiful!"
"This is called rock sugar gourd, not only beautiful, but also delicious, you try it!"
Dingyu listened to Chen Fang's words, bit down a rock sugar gourd, the air-dried maltose and the hawthorn wrapped in maltose quickly fused in Dingyu's mouth, the sugar coating was broken, and the two completely different tastes of sour and sweet stimulated the taste buds, giving Dingyu two different taste sensations.
Simple snacks, simple fusion, but just present a wonderful feeling of taste buds. This flavor blends and explodes on the tip of the tongue, and the double taste stimulation is irresistible.
"How?"
"Delicious! Master, you can eat one too! ”
Dingyu handed the string of sugar gourds he had bitten to Chen Fang, Chen Fang didn't dislike it, and ate one, it felt so familiar, just like the taste of childhood memories.
Such a simple and authentic rock sugar gourd, in fact, Chen Fang has not eaten it for a long time, he is from the last era, and many other things are added to the rock sugar gourd. The palate is rich, but it's actually messy.
"My lord, can we taste it too?"
At this time, several cooks also came over, looking at the strings of red sugar gourds, watching Dingyu and Chen Fang eat with relish, and couldn't help asking.
Chen Fang has always treated these cooks very well, and there is no official arrangement, so they dare to ask at this time.
Chen Fang took the sugar gourd that Ding Yu had already eaten two in his hand.
"Of course!"
The cooks bit down the sugar gourd in Chen Fang's hand one by one, and they were full of praise.
Since Chen Fang came to Shang Shi Bureau, they have not only worked more easily on weekdays, but also have delicious and wonderful food to eat from time to time.
In the past, Shang Shi Dingyu occasionally scolded them, but since Shang Shi recognized Master Chen as his master, he has never scolded them again.
In the Shang Food Bureau, at this time, these cooks all like Chen Fang very much, and a few small cooks in private will even say that it would be great if they could marry Lord Chen, and then be ridiculed by the rest.
Can you marry an adult?
Then it's okay to be a concubine!
Do you know what it takes to marry a man?
Adults can do whatever they tell them to do!
On weekdays, a few small cooks are playing around, and they have also been seen by Chen Fang a few times, and they have been caught blushing and lowering their heads, which is very good-looking. Chen Fang even couldn't help pinching the little chef's blushing face a few times, the young chef's face was really easy to pinch, especially the ones who were slightly fatter and had fleshy faces.
Among these cooks, being pinched by Chen Fang's face can make them proudly hold their chests up and raise their heads, like a proud rooster.
At this time, a string of sugar gourds was divided between Chen Fang and the cooks, Chen Fang had already seen the two little princesses bring people over, and just now they went to Chen Fang's residence to find Chen Fang, but they were not there, they all ran to the Shangshi Bureau.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Seeing the princess, the cooks hurriedly dispersed, and Shang Shi Dingyu and Chen Fang hurried to meet the driver.
"Chen Aiqing, what is in your hands?"
"It's a little snack that Wechen just made!"
"Then let me taste it!"
Princess Anding desperately wanted to maintain her princess upbringing, but for some reason, when she saw the rock sugar gourd, she still couldn't help it.
And Taiping was more direct, he took a string directly from Chen Fang's hand, and didn't care about 3721 and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
This string of red rock sugar gourds is too tempting for a seven-year-old girl to bear.
A rock sugar gourd was entered, and Princess Taiping's eyes lit up.
"It's so sweet and sour!"
"Taiping, is it sweet or sour?"
"Sister, you can taste it, it's so delicious!"
Taiping had already eaten the second one at this time, and after Princess Anding ate one, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stuffed them into her mouth one by one.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, they were all the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them, as well as Chen Fang and Dingyu.
Otherwise, the two princesses are really a little inconsistent with their identities.
"No, I'm going to bring it to my father and mother!"
Taiping ate the remaining two, looked at the sugar gourd at this time, resisted the urge to continue eating, and said.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, there are a lot of things in this rock sugar gourd food bureau."
At this time, Dingyu said, Taiping heard it, and happily ate the last two.
"Chen Fang, get me another string!"
"Your Highness, you can't eat too much of this thing!"
"Will I get sick if I eat too much?"
Xiao Taiping looked at Chen Fang with a pair of beautiful big gurgling eyes, and his eyelashes fluttered.
"Not really!"
"Then hurry up and give me another string!"
"Your Highness, you really can't eat more, after eating too much, Your Highness is afraid that you won't even be able to bite the tofu."
"I don't eat tofu again!"
Chen Fang reluctantly handed a string of sugar gourds to Taiping, where Anding also finished eating his own bunch and looked at Chen Fang.
Chen Fang was helpless, forget it, let them eat, you can't blame yourself for not reminding your teeth for a while.
"Chen Aiqing, you take a few more strings, we will go to your place, and listen to your story while eating."
"Wechen obeys!"
Chen Fang took a few strings of sugar gourds, and then instructed Ding Yu to present the sugar gourds and breakfast to His Majesty and Niangniang in a while.
When they arrived at the residence, Taiping and Anding were holding a string of sugar gourds, and Chen Fang began to tell them the story of the stone monkey going out to sea to the world to find the method of immortality.
The two princesses listened with relish, and their mouths were not idle.
Looking at the extra bamboo sticks on the table, the two princesses found that they would not be punished if they couldn't bite the tofu.
I persuaded him, but Chen Fang could only comfort himself.
After talking for a while, Dingyu outside brought two cooks to here.
Seeing that the two little highnesses were still there, they didn't dare to come over.
"Your Royal Highnesses the two princesses, I'll go out for a while and ask Shangshi what's going on!"
"Well, go and get back!"
Dingyu saw Chen Fang and asked the two cooks to show Chen Fang the reward given by His Majesty's mother.
It's soap, toothbrushes, toilet paper, etc., and His Majesty loves to reward these things. Wouldn't it be nice to give something else? For example, gold and silver!
"I can make a set of zodiac signs with a toothbrush!"
Chen Fang was very depressed, but His Majesty gave a reward, so he must have liked the rock sugar gourd very much.
This was not what Chen Fang expected. After all, that thing can be famous, but it is by taste and appearance, there is no reason why the snacks that will be so famous in later generations are not liked by people in this era. Especially Ding Yu also said that Wu Meiniang likes sweets the most.
"Dingyu, you take these rolls of paper, and you can see which cook hasn't already done it with a toothbrush, so give it to her."
"Master, I have several rolls of paper you gave."
"That's for the other cooks!"
"Since Master came to the Shangshi Bureau, they don't have a shortage of paper!"
Chen Fang smiled, girls should take care of themselves...
Uh, no, girls have to take care of themselves, and their bodies have to be taken care of everywhere.
"The two little highnesses are still waiting, I'll go back!"
