Chapter 157: Cake
"What?" Concubine Zhou said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Take it out!" Zhu Song tilted his head sideways and instructed Zhou Kang.
Zhou Kang nodded slightly, and took out four thin colored candles from under the small cart.
Zhu Song took the candles from Zhou Kang's hands, inserted them in the top layer of the cake with his own hands, and then lit them with a fire breaker.
Zhu Song then said: "Mother, you must light these candles before eating the cake, today is your fortieth birthday, and one candle represents ten years old."
While speaking, Zhu Song walked to the front and helped Concubine Zhou down, saying:
"Mother, make a silent wish in your heart before the lit candle, and then blow out the candle! According to the narration of the man of Fanbang, it seems that in this way, your wish will come true! ”
It seems that this has become the custom of later generations to celebrate birthdays, and if it is a birthday, they must make a wish.
This wish still has to be had, what if it comes true one day?
Concubine Zhou was surrounded by happiness at the moment, and when she heard Zhu Song's words, she just nodded with tears in her eyes, and then according to Zhu Song's words, she subconsciously closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart.
As for what she wants, only Concubine Zhou herself knows.
"Poof!"
After making a wish in her heart, Concubine Zhou blew out the candle in one go, and then Zhu Song handed her a slender wooden knife and asked her to cut the first knife herself.
Speaking of which, Xu Miaojin and the others were also full of curiosity about this cake, but the sweet taste was so charming that Xu Miaojin couldn't hide that he wanted to eat it.
After the first knife, Zhu Song took the wooden knife again.
Whew!
Cut it neatly with dozens of knives, and the five-foot-high cake was directly divided into dozens of pieces, and was arranged by the next person to deliver it to every guest.
"What's this white stuff? It's so soft to the touch and so slippery! ”
As soon as the cake was distributed into the hands of a group of little guys, Zhu Huixuan tried to smear a handful of cream on the cake and rubbed it with his hands.
"Hey, I said don't rub it on me!" Xie Zhen was just about to taste it, but at this time, his face was cold, but Zhu Huixuan directly applied the cream on his hand to Xie Zhen's face.
"Hahaha, Brother Qi, it's really funny that you look like this now!" Zhu Zhanji turned his head and glanced at the period and said with a smile.
But he saw a piece of white cream on his face, which looked like a piece of white hair on his face.
It seems that smearing cream on each other on birthdays was not invented by adults in later generations, but by children.
"You two boys!"
Xie Zhenqi's face darkened, and he didn't care if his uncle was not there, so he took out a handful of cream from the plate and smeared it on Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Huixuan's little faces respectively.
"Wow, look at me!"
This can be said to have stabbed the hornet's nest, Xie Zhenji, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Huixuan later joined Zhu Taihe, the four little guys wiped each other, you wiped me, I wiped yours, and then they all became little flower faces.
Well, it's a good cake, it's been spoiled by this group of little guys.
Zhu Yang and the others were originally tasting the cake, but when they saw a group of little guys in the lobby, all with small flower faces, their faces darkened when they chased each other and played with each other.
"You see, you see, this is your child." Zhu Song glared at Zhu Yang and said.
"Hey, you still have the face to talk about me." Zhu Yang took a sip of fruit wine and said, "Hui Xuan has always lived with you, and those little guys are also from your house, you still have the face to talk about me?"
Zhu Song looked at it, there was no Zhu Huixuan among the few playful little guys, and Zhu Huixuan next to him was just sitting there, looking at Zhu Huixuan and them with disdain, as if he was disgusted.
"Zhenji, don't mess around again!"
Just when Zhu Song was about to stop these little guys, Xie Jin, who was sitting on the left side and had a short beard under his chin, stood up and said with a gloomy face:
"Messing around so much in public, I think you're really undisciplined during this time."
Xie Zhen, who was smiling and running between the cracks in the table, heard this familiar voice, subconsciously stood up straight, and looked in the direction of Xie Jin.
"Sit down for me!" Xie Jin's face darkened and he scolded.
"Yes!" Xie Zhen was silent, and it could be seen that he was very afraid of this uncle.
"Bachelor Xie, Zhen is still young, it's the time to play, today is Concubine Zhou's birthday, let these little guys have fun!"
At this time, Queen Xu, who was about to taste the cake, spoke.
"Yes, Master Xie, it's only once a year, so let the children have fun!"
Zhu Neng, who was sitting next to Xie Jin, reached out directly, poured a bowl of wine for Xie Jin, and said:
"Today, you have less drinking, this bowl must be drunk, otherwise you will look down on me Zhu Shihong!"
"Shihong, just spare me!" As soon as he heard Zhu Neng's words, Xie Jin's dark face suddenly became bitter, and he said: "It's okay to drink a sip, if this bowl goes down, I won't be able to leave today!"
"If you can't go, don't go!" Zhu Neng said: "There are so many courtyards in King Han's Mansion, isn't it enough for you to live?" Do you say, Your Highness?"
"Huh?"
Zhu Song was frowning, wondering whether to strengthen the discipline of these little guys from tomorrow, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhu Neng's question, before he smiled:
"Shihong is right, I don't have many other things in Han Wangfu, but there are many houses, and Master Xie can live as long as he wants!"
"Alright, leave those little ones alone, let's drink, drink!"
Zhu Yang came over, poured wine, and toasted.
……
After Xie Jin's trouble, the little ones finally quieted down, and a maid wiped their faces for them, and then they sat down at the table and began to enjoy the food.
"Well, this cake is really delicious, Uncle Fang Caisong said that the cake is called cream, and it is made of milk, I didn't expect it to taste so good!"
The next person cut a piece of cake for Zhu Huixuan again, and Zhu Huixuan immediately tasted it impatiently, but was immediately conquered by the sweetness and taste of the cake.
For the little ones, this sweet tooth is simply a godsend, they have no resistance at all, you know, the main consumer group of cakes in later generations is children except women.
"Really?"
Zhu Zhanji reconciled the period, and when he heard Zhu Huixuan's words, he also came back to his senses, lowered his head and began to taste it, and praised it again and again.
The top position.
"Song'er has a heart, she has never eaten such a delicious pastry for her mother!"
Concubine Zhou was full of emotion and told that what she ate was not only delicious, but also from Zhu Song's fist and filial piety.
"Concubine Zhou Niangniang said very much, this cake is indeed delicious in the world!"
Empress Xu also opened her mouth and praised, "That's right, Brother Song." You said that this cream is made of milk, so can other milk be made into cream?"
"This is naturally possible."
Zhu Song nodded and said, "But although this cream is delicious, it is only a part extracted from milk, and compared with milk, this thing is okay to eat occasionally, and it is easy to gain weight if you eat too much."
"Huh?"
Xu Miaojin, who was eating the cake with her head down, immediately put down the cake in her hand after hearing Zhu Song's words, and her face was still stained with white cream.
Women love beauty the most, whether they are ugly women or beautiful women, no one wants to become a big fat girl because of eating cream.
Zhu Zhanji and the other little guys don't care if they are fat or not, they can eat beautiful anyway.
Therefore, after eating the cream cake in their hands, Zhu Zhanji and the other little ones all ran to the cart and took another piece, and ate it endlessly.
"Hahaha, look at these little guys, they are really full of oil!"
At the end of the birthday banquet, the guests and friends who came to pay their respects left one after another, but the little ones were still eating there, and their little bellies were bulging, and they seemed to be eating.
Compared to others, Zhu Song drank for more than two hours, and he actually woke up.
"Today, thank Your Highness for your hospitality, I'll leave first!"
Xie Jin, Zhu Neng, Mu Su and others jointly bid farewell to Zhu Song.
Zhu Song looked at Fenghua Hall, except for Queen Xu, Concubine Zhou, Zhu Yang and Zhu Hu, there were not many people left.
"What are you talking about, you can come to congratulate the princess on her birthday, it should be this king who thanks you!"
Zhu Song bowed his hand to everyone and said, "Since you want to leave, it is inconvenient for this king to stay." In this way, this king has arranged for people to prepare some small gifts, which are not good things, just the cake we ate just now, you can take it back and let the family members try it. ”
"So, thank you!"
If it was really gold and silver treasures or something, Xie Jin and the others really didn't dare to accept it, after all, there were those royal historians from the Inspectorate staring.
If it's a cake, it's much easier to say, but it's just some food, and at most the production process is a little more troublesome, but it's actually not worth a few dollars.
……
Sending Xie Jin and the others away, everyone in Fenghua Hall was all close to Han Wangfu.
Zhu Di gave Concubine Zhou only one day to leave the palace, and now it is almost time, and it will be a little late if she doesn't return to the palace.
Besides, do you think Empress Xu really just came to celebrate her birthday?
To put it mildly, I didn't come to supervise Concubine Zhou, if Concubine Zhou didn't go back when the time came, I was afraid that there would be soldiers coming over immediately and 'invited' Concubine Zhou back to the palace.
Although she was very reluctant in her heart, Concubine Zhou still had to stand up and said to Zhu Song:
"Luo'er, Song'er, it's late today, and my mother is going back to the palace with the queen."
"So fast?" Zhu Song looked at the time and said reluctantly: "Fourth imperial sister-in-law, can you let the concubine stay for another hour?"
"Brother Song, there is still time to get together in the future, and today is indeed not early, so let Concubine Zhou go back to the palace first!"
Empress Xu also stood up and began to persuade Zhu Song.
At this moment, although Concubine Zhou was reluctant in her eyes, she didn't want her two sons to worry, and she still had a smile on her face.
Seeing Concubine Zhou at this moment, Zhu Song suddenly had an impulse to use his pen to leave a portrait of Concubine Zhou. (To be continued.) )
