Qian Shan stood aside a little anxiously, urging Ning Nan to worry: "Why doesn't the lord say anything from the side... The lady likes it so much, don't you tell me how this tassel cake was obtained? ”

Ning Nan lowered his head, obviously embarrassed to say.

Qian Shan continued: "The female monarch doesn't know... A few days ago, the lord had asked the slave maid to go to the market to buy the ingredients needed for the tassel cake. And because the tassel cake is completely different from the pastry next to it, it is soft and sweet, so a special food is carefully prepared and added to it. ”

Jiang Chengjia blinked, looked at Ning Nanwu, and saw that he was silent, so he asked Qianshan: "What special food guide?" ”

"The reason why the tassel cake has a unique natural aroma is precisely because the water used in the process of making it is the dew that stains the petals of the flowers in the morning. The dew is dyed with aroma and nectar, and then added to the flour and kneaded into a ball, and the natural scent of nectar dew is integrated into it, so as to make a tassel cake with such a rich aroma. Qian Shan said step by step, and then added: "There is a taste of ingredients in the tassel cake The initial brewing is very troublesome, you need to soak the petals in the rice brew, precipitate for five days, and then mix and stir with the thick honey juice that has been mixed and stirred for a day, add fabric, in order to form a soft and glutinous petal mud, and then let it stand for a day to evaporate the wine in the rice brew, and finally take this soft flower mud to make a tassel pad to cut out such a fine tassel spike." ”

The process is very complicated, but Ning Nan has patiently taken the maids to do it one by one, it is precisely because of this intention that Qianshan feels that maybe in this life, Jiang Chengjia can be happier than in the previous life, and maybe the ending of the two of them will be different.

"Don't talk about it... If this pastry is to take the dew of the petals in the early morning... It's even more difficult to collect it, let alone collect the dew that can make so many tassel cakes..."Jiang Chengjia listened to Qianshan's narration and knew how carefully Ning Nanwei wrote down her preferences and the taste she missed.

Her nose was sour, and she said sadly, "Thank you." ”

Seeing her staring at him with such grateful eyes, Ning Nan quietly blushed, cleared her throat a little unnaturally, coughed twice, turned her face, looked at Qian Shan, raised her chin and pretended to be indifferent: "Nonsense, where is it so complicated?" ”

Qian Shan was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

The atmosphere suddenly calmed down, Ning Nan glanced at Jiang Chengjia worriedly, wanting to see her expression of surprise and tears, but not wanting to show it too obviously, so his eyes drifted elsewhere, but his face turned sideways, and he said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't be too moved, this is just a trivial matter for me." ”

Jiang Chengjia was amused by his pretending not to care, and said with a grin: "Okay, okay, Erlang is calm and fixed in everything he does, these are naturally trivial things, Zuo is just an ingredient that can only be prepared after several days of thinking." ”

She quipped a little mischievously.

So, the young man in front of him didn't know what to do like a child, lowered his eyes, closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Men and women, hurry up and eat, the slaves and maids are hungry and hungry with the food table, it's really not good!"

Qian Shan watched from the sidelines, knowing that Ning Nan was ashamed to express the strong emotions hidden in his heart, so he hurriedly relieved him.

Jiang Chengjia also knew the significance of Qianshan's round at the moment, so he followed her words and said: "Even so, there are so many pastries, and I can't finish it with Junhou, so it's better for you to take a few tassel cakes and eat them together." ”

Ning Nan was withdrawn by nature, he didn't know how to say sweet words or do anything to make people happy, he was so careful that he treated Jiang Chengjia so gently, which was enough to show how much he liked her.

The master and servant had a lively breakfast, and the laughter and laughter coming from the courtyard to the north made the servants who came and went curious.

Jiang Chengjia seemed to have forgotten what had just made her unhappy, and after Qianshan led the servants and maids to remove the food table and leave the north courtyard, she gradually restrained her smile.

"Erlang, you... How do you know how to make this tassel cake? She was curious about that.

Tassel cake, how, exactly? There are only two people in the world who know, but one of them has long lost the memory of his previous life, and he is just an ordinary mortal. This man is the doom. And Jiang Chengjia was sure that after Ning Nan became a mortal, all his divine power was dissipated, and it was impossible for him to remember the events of his previous life, even if his nature made him very familiar with the method of this pastry, he would never make the taste of this pastry exactly the same as she remembered. Besides, the end of this life is a person who never touches the things of cooking....

Another person in the world who knows how to make tassel cakes is the only one left with his mother, He Yuyang.

The signboard of the tassel building was made by He Mu.

In order to gain a foothold in the vast Kyushu land, she built a water pavilion, and He Mu built a restaurant on both sides of the water river in the south of the Yangtze River, named the tassel. The unique tassel cake and its unpredictable magical aroma have been the main source of attraction for thousands of years.

It's just that later, Hemu suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where she went. Jiang Chengjia once came to the tassel building on the bank of the Jiangnan River alone, wanting to find her whereabouts, but heard that the Jin family who guarded the building said that the owner of the original tassel cake had left Jiangnan many years ago, leaving only the title deed of the tassel building and the secret recipe for making the tassel cake, asking them to stay in this restaurant for generations.

The Kim family, keeping their promises, guarded this old restaurant year after year, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant has also changed from generation to generation. Regardless of whether the Kyushu continent is fragmented and full of wolf smoke, or whether it is peaceful and the world is one. Under the protection of the Water Pavilion, the tassel building has stood for thousands of years. fifth

It's just the tassel cake in the tassel building, but it's not really the taste of the tassel cake. Even if the Jin family inherited the secret recipe of the pastry, they couldn't make it have a unique taste. Perhaps, the slightest change in the pastry is something that the world can't taste. But she still remembers it vividly.

She couldn't mistake the taste of the tassel cake, after all, it was her most unique memory with Cover.

"When I was a child, I remember... There was an old lady who taught me how to make tassel cakes. My mother also loved to eat this pastry, and in order to please her, I used to ask people to buy the necessary ingredients for this tassel cake and make it myself. Ning Nan said lightly, unconsciously, a trace of sadness flowed out of his eyes, and he laughed at himself: "Later, my mother was very disgusted with this pastry. ”

Jiang Chengjia was dumbfounded, knowing that he had inadvertently touched his wound again.

"Are you wondering, why did the old lady who appeared next to me when I was a child make tassel cake that is unique to the Jin family of Tassel Lou?" He asked suddenly.

Jiang Chengjia froze for a moment and nodded.

Ning Nan sighed: "I'm also puzzled. The taste of this pastry is still fresh in my memory. After the old lady disappeared for some reason, I once happened to pass by the Tassel House and bought a pastry there to taste. I found that the taste was almost exactly the same as the pastry I had eaten as a child. I didn't know it when I was a kid... The pastry that my wife made for me was tassel cake. After tasting this world-famous dim sum, I was also shocked, and I specially inquired about the golden shopkeeper of the Tassel Building. I thought the old lady was from the Jin clan. I also wanted to find her, thank you well. But the gold shopkeeper said that his family has a single lineage, and there are only a few veins under the ancestors, and the women in the clan can only carve, while the men inherit the craft of kneading noodles. There can never be the old woman I am talking about who can carve and knead dough.

I didn't ask any further. With a hint of intuition, I don't think the old woman has anything to do with the Kim family. Because, in my impression, I vaguely feel... The pastries made by the old lady do not seem to be exactly the same as those in the Tassel House. I don't remember where the old lady made the pastries for me, I just remember that I was very fond of tassel cakes and liked them very much, but she said she couldn't stay with me all the time. She taught me how to make this pastry very seriously. And told me that if I think of her one day, I can make a pastry and taste it, which is equivalent to being by my side. ”

The rare warmth in this memory came from a stranger, so Ning Nan remembered it very clearly.

Because of these words, Jiang Chengjia was surprised in his heart.

Could it be that He Yuyang, who disappeared, has reappeared in the world?

It's just that... Why did the mother disappear over the years?

Jiang Chengjia couldn't figure out the connection, his brows furrowed tightly, and he lowered his head.

Ning Nan was worried about seeing her hanging her head motionlessly, so she felt strange and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Jiang Chengjia replied, "It's nothing. ”

The young man stared at her for a while, not reading anything from her gloomy countenance, so he slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "The hour is not early, although we have just had an unpleasant quarrel with Song Zong, we still have to prepare for a discussion with him this afternoon. Rest in the garden. ”

He told him seriously.

Jiang Chengjia laughed at him and said, "You know, why are you as verbose as my brother?" ”

Ning Nan dropped a light kiss on her forehead, smiled slightly, and got up and left the North Chamber.

After he left, Jiang Chengjia leaned on the futon and pillows, and fell into a round of deep thought.

This round of contemplation didn't know how long, so long that she didn't even hear Qianshan's call.

After Ning Nan worriedly left, it didn't take long for Qianshan to turn back from the small hall in front of her, bypass a few corridors, and come back to the north of Fuyuan.

When she entered the private room, she saw Jiang Chengjia sitting on the bed in a daze.

After several calls in succession, Jiang Chengjia sat motionless, as if his hearing was closed.

"Girl!" Qianshan tried to call again.

The woman sitting at the head of the bed finally had a hint of movement, and looked at her uneasily, so that the words that Qianshan had just prepared to say were choked in her throat.
