Chapter 415: Why is that newcomer so familiar
Before Zhao Xiaoxi could react, the arrival of the seventh aunt strangled the two of them into their swaddling clothes.
Needless to say, Aunt Seven is here to taste the new cake. In the end, what is going to be sent to the palace, no matter how much she believes in Zhao Xiaoxi, she has to taste it herself.
Just looking at Zhao Xiaoxi and Liu Er's disappointed little appearance, Aunt Seven was still a little puzzled: "Did you not figure it out or did not do it well?" It's okay, Xiangguo also said, I can stay in Fengle Town for a few more days, and Zhao Xiaoniang doesn't have to worry. ”
"It's not about the cake." Zhao Xiaoxi sneered, a little embarrassed: "I heard just now that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, and there is a Huling Town not far from our Fengle Town, and there is a draft girl who has been determined. Growing so big, we haven't seen a show girl yet! Liu'er and I thought about taking advantage of this rare opportunity to take a look. But Aunt Seven, you're here, so we'll go again tomorrow. ”
"Show girl?" Aunt Seven obviously didn't know that a small ravine like Fengle Town could still have people who were qualified to run for the draft, and she was quite surprised: "Huling Town? Do you know which girl it is? ”
"I don't know yet!" Zhao Xiaoxi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Aunt Seven was like them, she was a group of gossip-loving little Kenai. She immediately felt that she had a common language with Aunt Seven, and the relationship between the two was miraculously closer because of the same love and gossip: "We also feel rare, I didn't expect that a small town like ours could have such an amazing good person." ”
"In the last draft, we all chose women from big cities. Although the family is not an official, the family is very wealthy. ”
Also, Suiyang County has had a famine in recent years, which is really up to the standard of "poor and destitute". The sudden appearance of a show girl is indeed big news. Even Aunt Seven, who is not shocked at all times, showed indescribable shock in this matter, which shows how rare this thing is.
"I've never heard of any good people in Huling Town." Liu Er puffed out his mouth, shook his head, and spread his hands: "I only have a money clerk, but he only has a few straw bale sons, and his only daughter is only three or four years old." Their family has a lot of money, but they are not benevolent to the rich, and they are used to robbing people's daughters. In this emperor's draft, why do you have to check the family background of the show girl, right? For example, Qian Yuanwai, even if she accepts her goddaughter, the people in the yamen can't just give her the qualification of a show girl, right? ”
"There are so many doorways here!" Aunt Seven smiled in a low voice, and she liked Liu Er very much: "In this world, how can there be so many black and white things?" If you want to say that the officials in the yamen rely on a few loads of money, it is not enough to support their families. The local squire was willing to stuff them with a few pieces of silver, and he didn't know how happy he was. For the sake of silver, it is not difficult for those people in the yamen to compile an innocent life experience for those women. ”
"Is there anything like this?" Zhao Xiaoxi was also a long time to see, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Could it be that others can't find out the clues of this kind of deception?" ”
"If you investigate thoroughly, you will definitely be able to find out." When Aunt Seventh saw Zhao Xiaoxi's more serious appearance, she couldn't help but be a little funny: "But officials protect each other, layer by layer, as for what the truth is, no one can tell clearly." ”
It seems that Aunt Seven is by Le Beiqi's side and has seen a lot of such things.
At this time, I really didn't treat them as outsiders, so I said them so frankly and directly.
"When are you going to see?" The seventh aunt was also very curious, I don't know which girl, I don't want to prevent such a clear and clean landscape, I have to go to a pickled place like the harem.
There are as many people in the palace who died for no reason. There are many lonely ghosts wandering around the mass graves. If you don't have a few brushes, it's better not to enter the palace. What outsiders can see is nothing more than some flashy and dazzling appearances.
"Ming'er, right? Today, the pastry chef at the cake shop is still making cakes. Zhao Xiaoxi pulled Aunt Seven to sit aside and eat tea, and in his words, he was quite respectful, "We hope that the cards can have today, all rely on the support of the big guys." Xiangguo's great help this time, great kindness, and unforgettable. “
"It's your own thing." Aunt Seven took a few sips of tea, and the more she looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, the more she liked it in her heart: "If people in the business field are like you, they are all like you, work hard and study hard." Do practical things, don't tell lies, anyone's life is better, isn't it? Some businessmen only earn a temporary amount of silver, just like the freshness of the picture, which cannot last long. ”
These are all good words! Zhao Xiaoxi listened carefully, and inexplicably thought of Xu Zhiji.
Didn't that person just play a good deck of cards in a daze? But she didn't plan for the long term, that is, she wanted to complete the task quickly.
After a while, the pastry shop man brought a cake, and it was still chocolate fruit cake. The fruits on top of this are all wild fruits, but these wild fruits are very sweet, and the people of Fengle Town are rare.
Most of the sour fruits are used to make jam and sell them in supermarkets.
"What are these black things?" Aunt Seven had never seen such a strange cake, and laughed in a low voice: "Little Lady Zhao is really a virtuous person, and she can always make many good things that people can't figure out." ”
"It's called chocolate, and it's melted and then put on it." Zhao Xiaoxi carefully cut a piece, and he could see the delicious nuts inside.
The color combination is also beautiful, with a layer of chocolate on the outside, a variety of small fruits on top, and a lot of nuts on the inside. These nuts are cut into small pieces that are more suitable for consumption.
"You taste it." Later, Zhao Xiaoxi cut many pieces and gave them to the big guys to try them.
Without exception, they all say it is delicious. Especially Shun Niang, this little village woman who loves sweetness like her life, squinted her eyes and smashed her mouth while holding the child, looking like she was satisfied.
"Delicious, sweet and not greasy, fluffy on the palate. The chocolate on the outside makes this little piece of cake even more delicious. Aunt Seven squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, and ate a few more bites: "Little lady Zhao, whoever you eat this for, you will like it." ”
Later, several different ones were sent, and the raw materials were almost the same, but because of the different combinations, completely different flavors were made. Aunt Seven praised while tasting it, as if Zhao Xiaoxi had done this, and she didn't need to be transformed at all, and she could be sent directly to the palace.
"Really good, Zhao Xiaoniang is really a genius." The seventh aunt stretched out her thumb at Zhao Xiaoxi and was full of praise: "If these cakes are tasted by our wife, they will definitely be eaten every day." ”
"Cakes can't be stored for too long, they can go bad easily. On a hot summer day like the one now, it's even harder to preserve. So I've written down all the methods, let's still have the old rules, let the pastry chef in the capital make it and send it to the palace, or let the master in the palace do it well, and give it directly to the palace maidens. Aunt Seven, what do you think? ”
"It's good, but there are no two things, chocolate and butter, in the capital." The seventh aunt looked at Zhao Xiaoxi with a smile, thinking in her heart, this girl looks like a little Hanhan, but in this heart, she doesn't know how much splendid beauty is hidden.
What is done and what is said is worthy of scrutiny.
There is no chocolate and butter in the capital, no matter whether it is a lady in the capital or a lady in the palace, or someone else, as long as you want to eat these delicious cakes, the pastry chef must think of buying them from Zhao Xiaoxi.
Coming and going, it is equivalent to Zhao Xiaoxi earning two aspects of silver. The first is the production method of this cake, which is also required for them to pay for it, and the second is these raw materials, which are undoubtedly also to be bought, which is still a long-term income.
If the ladies in the palace like it, they will buy it very hard. How much will you get by then? This is simply immeasurable.
While Aunt Seven was tinkering with these things in her heart, Zhao Xiaoxi thought of the taste of tempura. After all, eating seafood is good for children, and if the lady in the palace is tired of eating those ordinary dishes, she can try tempura shrimp!
The approach is different, and the feeling is completely different. I don't know how the red case master in the palace dining room makes seafood and steamed? Teriyaki? Or is there another secret recipe?
In the past, when Zhao Xiaoxi ate tempura, he would also pair it with a special tempura sauce, which was extremely delicious, and he still had a mouth full of interest when he recalled it.
"Did the lady in the palace only say that she wanted pastries? Didn't say anything else? ”
"At present, as long as there are pastries, if Zhao Xiaoniang has other ideas, she can also write them. I can show Xiangguo a look, if the lady in the palace is interested in Zhao Xiaoniang's thoughts, let's talk about it later. ”
It was already late after talking about this, and Zhao Xiaoxi was still thinking about the show girl in Huling Town.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaoxi went to Huling Town with Liu'er. There are many people who have the same gossip psychology as them, and the girls and mothers-in-law and old and young masters in Huling Town all gathered in the Yamen.
It's always good to follow the crowd.
"Where are you going?" Liu Er glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, and asked with a smile, "Is this a market?" ”
"You're not from our Tiger Ridge Town, are you? We all went to the Yamen to see the show girls. "That woman smiled, and she was very honored.
For the first time, a golden phoenix was born, who could enter the palace and be a mother, and they also followed the beauty in their hearts, and they were honored: "What is this called?" It's not the same as it used to be, isn't it? It is said that Fengle Town is now the most lively place in Suiyang County. But in such a lively place, there is no show girl, right? ”
Yo, the breath is really big. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything, and walked slowly behind. When she arrived at the yamen and saw the show girl, she was completely stunned.
