Li Bao watched Ling'er and them excitedly busy making chiffon cakes, so he let them do it. His focus now is on milk, which is made from whipping cream, and the percentage of cream is very low, and the method of making it is not very easy. The simplest and most efficient is to use centrifuges, in this era of slow development of natural science, centrifuges are hopeless, can only think of other ways.

In later generations, Li Bao learned a simple method of making whipping cream on the Internet, which is to use lemon juice or white vinegar as a flavor agent and catalyst, heat and boil fresh milk, and filter it to obtain a small amount of whipping cream. Li Bao has no other way now, so he has to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

He first poured about a pound of milk into the iron pot, added an appropriate amount of white vinegar, and then put it on the stove to heat the milk, and then stirred it after boiling, and then used clean fine silk to make a filter cloth. The white lumps must be creamy. In a hurry, after the milk in this pot was strained, the cream was placed in a porcelain jar and cooled outside.

After doing this, Li Bao looked up at the sky, which was still cloudy. I guess it's noon. He looked back at Ling'er, who were still busy making chiffon cakes. Li Bao said: "You only care about the ** cake, do you want to eat it for lunch?" ”

When Ling'er heard Li Bao's words, she thought badly, she only cared about trying the ** cake, forgot to prepare lunch for Lang Jun, and hurriedly said to Li Bao: "Lang Jun forgive the sin, the slave family and others just ate a lot of chicken cakes and are not hungry now, but I didn't expect Lang Jun to be hungry, Lang Jun waited, and the slave will prepare lunch for you." ”

Li Bao looked at Ling'er anxiously and panicked, and she was also guilty, she was not very old, she was playful for a while, and it was understandable, and she was not angry, so Li Bao stopped Ling'er, "Your cakes are already ready, why are you still preparing lunch, I will also taste your craftsmanship, and see if you have learned home." ”

When Ling'er saw that Li Bao was going to taste the cake she made, she was worried for a while, afraid that she would not do well and disappoint Lang Jun. But he was embarrassed to stop Li Bao from letting him taste it, so he lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes, waiting for the result after Li Bao tasted it. Li Bao picked up the chicken cake made by Ling'er and tasted it, the taste was okay, and he could master the heat after making it a few more times.

He said to Ling'er: "It's good, it tastes good." Do it a few more times in the future, you will definitely be able to surpass mine, come on! Zheng Ah Li and Hu Sanbao also made a piece each, Li Bao tasted them one by one, or Zheng Ah Li made the best, basically on par with Li Bao's craftsmanship, Li Bao couldn't help but look at Zheng Ah Li a few more times.

This fat cook has been waiting in the palace of his mother, Wang Jieyu, since Li Bao was born. Since Wang Jieyu's death, Zheng Ah Li has followed over to wait for Li Bao. Li Bao has any fresh dishes, as long as he does it in front of her, Zheng Ah Li will basically be able to do it. In terms of culinary skills, Zheng Ah Li does have an amazing talent. Li Bao thought that his restaurant was almost, and he must let Zheng Ah Li become the chef of the pillar at that time.

Li Bao ate some chicken cakes, filled his stomach, and asked them to come over and learn how to make cream. And explained to them again how to make cream. As for the hands-on test, since the amount of milk is not large, I will wait for tomorrow to try it again.

Li Bao took the cooled whipping cream back to the kitchen and showed them how to whip the whipping cream. Since it is the middle of winter and the temperature is very low, Li Bao asked Hu Sanbao to bring a basin of cold water as cooling water in order to increase the success rate. Pour the whipped cream from the porcelain bottle into a clean copper basin, and slowly add a small amount of sugar, cheese and a small amount of milk in turn, so that the whipped cream will be at least better in terms of durability and taste.

The methods and steps are clearly explained, and the rest of the whipping cream is a hard work. Li Bao's arm was still sore, so he assigned Hu Sanbao and Zheng Ah Li to take turns to send it, Li Bao pointed out on the side, and it took almost two quarters of an hour for the two of them to make the cream smooth and textured. Li Bao dipped some cream with chopsticks and tasted it, the taste was good, very slippery, and it melted in your mouth! I was very happy, and then let Ling'er and the others taste it. Everyone was amazed at how delicious the food made from milk was. The admiration for Li Bao in my heart is more like a mountain and a surging river.

Li Bao took advantage of the fact that the cream had just been whipped, and immediately ordered Ling'er to bring the cake embryo here, Li Bao used a knife to adjust the cake embryo to the basic shape of a small peach, today is just a trial to make, first make a small longevity peach, after all, the material is limited, test it first, solve the problems one by one, and when it comes to the right day, you can be confident.

After Li Bao fixed the cake base, he used a long thin wooden board to make a spatula, and after the peach base was covered with cream, Li Bao slowly trimmed the cake and made it smooth and firm. Once everything is complete, the next step is to paint. Li Bao began to scratch the blind, but he didn't expect that the edible pigment piece. The reason why I want to make longevity peach cake is to fit the reality of Datang, if you can't find food coloring, this cake still can't be sent.

Li Bao sighed at "Shou Tao", Ling'er and the others wondered, why did Lang Jun, who was still elated just now, suddenly sigh and hurriedly asked the reason, Li Bao was discouraged and told everyone about his problem. After listening to Li Bao's question, Zheng Ah Li asked, "Dare to ask Lang Jun what kind of color he wants?" ”

"Bright red and yellow, ripe peaches are basically this color."

"Lang Jun, don't worry, this color is wrapped in the slave family, the slave family doesn't understand anything else, this cooking is still not ambiguous, isn't it red and yellow, it's easy!"

When Li Bao heard that Zheng Ah Li could solve the problem of coloring Shou Tao, he felt as refreshing as drinking ice water in the hot summer. Busy asked, "How do I get these two pigments?" ”

"Making edible pigments is a know-how passed down from the master by the slave family, and it is also a must-have for every cook."

Li Bao understood as soon as he heard it, there were unwritten rules in all walks of life in ancient times, and the know-how in the industry was passed on by master and apprentice, father and son, and once there was an accident in the inheritance, many secret skills and know-how would be lost. At this time, what Zheng Ah Li said must be her secret skill as a cook. I don't want to know, as long as I can solve things. So he said to Zheng Ah Li: "Your secret skills don't need to be disclosed, you just need to help me decorate this longevity peach." ”

"Lang Jun don't misunderstand the slave family, make this edible pigment, the slave family is not afraid that Lang Jun knows, Lang Jun is so knowledgeable, how dare the slave family hide his secret here in Lang Jun, just beg Lang Jun to keep it a secret for the slave family. Otherwise, the slave family will be ashamed of their trust in the master. Li Bao naturally agreed.

As for the yellow pigment, the slave family has two ways to prepare it, one is to chop turmeric and soak it in wine and then filter it, and the other is simpler, that is, the soybean flour after crushing the soybeans is sprinkled on this cream, isn't it simple? ，”

When Li Bao heard this, the problem that plagued him was solved in front of the unattractive Zheng Ah Li. Thinking of the classic sentence "Analects" of "Threesome, there must be my teacher", Li Bao sighed in his heart: The ancients did not deceive me.

Then for how to color the cake, everyone studied for a long time, and finally adopted Li Bao's suggestion to make a small spray gun with a bamboo tube, which was a toy for Li Bao when he was a child, and the principle was the same as the syringe used in later generations. Nowadays, it is used here to spray a solution of pigment onto the cake and it can be easily colored. In order to avoid the cake being too moist, soybean flour is used to dye the yellow color, and red yeast water is used to make the red one. As for the peach leaves, the green leaf water of the green essence rice is used as a dye.

After the discussion was decided, Li Bao told Ling'er that before the official family's birthday, they had to practice making "Shou Peach" cake every day, as well as the decoration of Shou Tao, such as Shou Xing Lao and peach leaves, etc., and they should also practice more.

Li Bao took the decoration picture of the longevity peach cake he drew and handed it to Zheng Ah Li, and asked her to decorate the "longevity peach" cake according to the painting. And strictly ordered everyone in the hall not to leak half a sentence about making longevity peach cakes, and if there is a violation, it must be punished severely! After the severity, Li Bao promised that after the official's birthday, there would be a reward.

This kind of leniency and severity of the subordinate, Li Bao also learned from the seniors, as for the effect, Li Bao can't guarantee it, but this feeling of being above everyone is really good.

Everyone is used to hip-hopping with Li Bao on weekdays, and Li Bao became stern at first glance, which made everyone feel that they couldn't adapt to it. But thinking of Li Bao's benefits of treating himself on weekdays, they all said in unison that they would keep it a secret.

Li Bao is the most intimate with the slaves on weekdays, Li Bao is the prince, every month, the Xuanhui Yuan sent the example: five sheep, 50 catties of pork, 10 chickens, 50 catties of corn and white flour, and 20 pieces of money. Most of the dishes in these dishes went into the stomachs of the palace people. In addition, the servants in the other halls all ate two meals, and only Li Bao's Jinluan Hall ate three meals.

Li Bao has only saved more than 200 yuan in the past ten years, excluding his personal expenses. A large part of the money was used to buy the eunuchs of the deacons of the Xuanhui Yuan, so that they could allocate more food. Every festival, Li Bao will always give these slaves a "festival reward", no matter how many or less, all the palace people can understand that this is Lang Jun's intention.

These lowly slaves are in this cold Daming Palace, and only Li Bao treats them as equal people. He never beats, scolds, and abuses the palace people. There are a total of thirty-four palace people in the Jinluan Palace, and everyone is grateful for Li Bao's kindness. Besides, Lang Jun has promised that there will be rewards in the future. Therefore, after Li Bao issued the "gag order" today, everyone unanimously agreed.

Thinking of this huge Daming Palace, it is difficult to ensure that there are no ungrateful people hiding in his own palace, so Li Bao has always paid attention to such black sheep, in the early years, Li Bao and Liang Hongmei secretly paid attention, and once they found that they had a bad heart, they immediately found a reason to clean them up. After Liang Hongmei left the palace, this matter was handed over to Ling'er to be responsible. After all these years of cautious precautions, Li Bao felt that he should be able to rest assured that his secrets would not be leaked.

After Li Bao finished the gag order, he returned to the study and carefully calculated that this father's birthday was an opportunity for him, and he must perform well and strive to win his father's favor in one fell swoop.

For Yizong, a cheap old man, Li Bao's evaluation of him is: He is neither a good monarch nor a good father, but he is the most suitable for himself. Because Yizong is powerful and capricious!
