Chapter 772: Snow Skin Mooncakes
Sure enough, as expected by the four princes, Emperor Shengde was moved: "I heard that your aunt will spend this Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing." It's been a long time since I've been with this sister...... Or, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will have a reunion with my sister and nephew! ”
I don't covet the food in my nephew's house, I value family affection!
The fourth prince does not demolish his father, as long as he can let him go out of the palace for a good meal on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will be satisfied. The fourth prince counted with his fingers, his body, at most, more than two months, can be raised like ordinary people.
In the words of the doctor's cousin-in-law: "More alive than ordinary people!" "I'm looking forward to it! It's so boring in this palace, he's so bored that he even digs out the mouse hole in the cold palace!
The palace was a magnificent cage of gold and jewels, and he was trapped here and not free. The thought that he would have to spend the next few decades in this cage made him want to go to his cousin's house for a big meal.
Fortunately, after my father completely raised his body this time, it was no problem to live for one or two decades. He hurriedly married a wife and had children, and threw them to his father to raise him, and when his son can be on his own, he can be raised as the emperor! The four princes have a good calculation!
Gu Ye, who didn't know that he was worried about again, began to pour moon cakes. Crispy and delicious five-kernel mooncakes are indispensable. In addition to melon seeds, peanut kernels, almonds, sesame seeds and other ingredients, Gu Ye also tried to add walnut kernels, large almonds, cashew nuts, etc., which made the taste better and richer, and tasted more fragrant and crispy.
Gu Ye also tried to make snowy mooncakes. The skin of the snowy mooncake is more difficult to get, but this is not difficult for the all-round chef Aunt Yan. As soon as Gu Ye recited the composition of the ice skin in the book, Aunt Yan tried it twice and came up with the ice skin they wanted.
In addition to glutinous rice flour, they also added sticky rice flour. Sticky rice flour is not sticky, which can avoid the taste of ice skin being too soft and glutinous. The addition of clear noodles not only makes the snow skin look clearer, but also increases the toughness of the snow skin.
In addition to the more traditional fillings such as lotus paste, bean paste, and jujube paste, there are also fruit fillings such as strawberries, pineapples, bananas, apples, and roses.
When the first pot of snowy mooncakes came out of the pot, looking at the snowy mooncakes that were as white as snow, crystal clear, and like works of art, Gu Ye was reluctant to eat them. Pick up a piece of pineapple snow skin mooncake, the taste is soft and smooth, slightly elastic, and the filling is sweet and sour. A person as picky as Gu Yezui can't find fault with it.
The snow skin mooncake is small, one for two bites. Gu Ye ate three or four flavors in a row, if it weren't for the maids around her who were afraid that she would eat accumulated food and stopped her, she felt that she could still eat a few pieces.
Princess Rong and the eldest princess were also infected by her enthusiasm for making moon cakes, and she never went to the kitchen, so she also changed into a neat narrow-sleeved dress and came to the kitchen to join in the fun.
She is responsible for the simplest printing of mooncakes with molds. After the beautiful moon cakes came out of the pot, the eldest princess Rong He showed a rather complacent expression - these delicious and beautiful moon cakes also have her share of credit!
Of course, when eating, there are the fruits of your own labor, and I feel that mooncakes are more delicious - in this world, there is no better mooncake than this!
Mama Lu and Mama Chang finally saw their princess's face again, showing a long-lost smile, and their eyes were red with joy.
How many years! Since the death of the colt, the princess's heart seems to have died with it, and what a lively and cheerful person she used to be, she was born into a walking corpse-like shell. Since Miss Ye'er came, the princess's withered heart gradually sprouted new green shoots.
Miss Ye'er can always surprise them again and again, so that the princess gradually comes out of the cage she painted. Miss Ye'er seems to have a kind of magic power, which unconsciously infects the people around her.
At this time, although the eldest princess was stained with white flour on her body and face, her smile was so bright, her eyes were so bright, and her body exuded enthusiastic vitality, and she seemed to have returned to her carefree girlhood......
"Oops, this snowy mooncake has a crooked flower print. Eat it up and destroy the evidence! "The eldest princess Rong and the eldest princess saw that there were defective products in the new pot, so she quickly took it out, and ate it in two bites after blowing it cold.
Well! Strawberry stuffing, delicious! She, the future daughter-in-law, gave her wave after wave of surprises. How many treasures are in this little brain, I can't dig them out. Even if this little girl doesn't work as a doctor and pharmacist, she can't starve her. This snowy mooncake alone can make her stand out in the dim sum industry.
The eldest princess Rong He couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Ye'er, you have the potential to be a celebrity chef!" ”
Gu Ye said in shame: "It's Aunt Yan who is amazing, and she can help me turn all my wonderful ideas into reality." Don't hide it from Aunt Rong, I'm a person who can even cook porridge into a terrible lethal weapon! ”
"Really? Is it so exaggerated? "Rong and the eldest princess were amused by her.
There was no hint of joke on Gu Ye's face: "It's not an exaggeration at all." If you don't believe me, ask your son, he is the one who has been poisoned by my craft, and he has the most right to speak! ”
Ling Juechen's voice appeared at the door of the kitchen, and he happened to hear this sentence and asked, "What are you talking about?" What do I have the most say? ”
Gu Ye took a piece of snowy moon cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Aunt Rong praised me for my excellent cooking skills, I am really a little embarrassed." Brother Chen, you tell Aunt Rong, did you drink the porridge I cooked, drank food poisoning, vomited and diarrhea, and lost half of your life? ”
The eldest princess Rong He was almost choked by the moon cake in her mouth, raised her eyes, and looked at her son teasingly. She couldn't imagine that her frosty son would have such an embarrassing moment. But...... Such a terrible porridge, the son can also drink it. I must have loved this little girl miserably, and I can't bear her to be hit, right?
Ling Juechen knew that the little girl was talking about her previous life. The little girl has excellent talents in medicine and medicine, but she is a mess in cooking. That day, he took a huge risk to find the little girl the herbs she needed. The little girl was so moved to see him covered in bruises that she decided to repay him by cooking him a meal with her own hands. As a result, this is not retribution, but revenge. The only porridge that could be eaten tasted strangely worse than her potion. endured and endured, and finally drank it, but he was almost poisoned to death - he seriously suspected that this little girl was deliberately manipulating him!
Later, the little girl showed her "cooking skills" several times without believing in evil, and he believed that the little girl really had no talent for cooking. Later, he forced himself to practice a fairly good cooking skill, and every time he cooked, he rushed to do it, and he had to be scared, afraid that one day she would have a whim and poison his stomach!
Raising his eyes to meet the curious gaze of the princess's mother, he looked at the little girl softly, wiped the flour from the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "That was before. Your craftsmanship now is nothing more than it was back then! ”
Gu Ye remembered that when she was in Qingshan Village, she did help Brother Chen cook. When she walked through, she preserved the memory of the original owner. The original owner can't do anything else, but the skill of cooking porridge is still okay. Isn't it a hundred times stronger than her in her previous life! Gu Ye didn't blush and accepted Brother Chen's praise!
Snowy skin mooncakes identified six of the best flavors. Gu Ye began to try to make Cantonese mooncakes again. Among the Cantonese moon cakes, Gu Ye prefers lotus paste egg yolk. However, this side is located in the west, there are many mountains and little water, and there are not many ducks. Still Ling Juechen, mobilized the ability of the Hidden Soul Palace, collected hundreds of salted duck eggs, and replenished the ingredients.
Cantonese moon cakes are made of exquisite materials and fine craftsmanship. Aunt Yan pondered for two days, and finally made Cantonese moon cakes with thin and soft skin, golden color, exquisite patterns and convex patterns, beautiful shapes, and various fillings.
Among them, Gu Ye's favorite egg yolk and white lotus paste filling, with moderate sweetness and soft and delicate taste. The eldest princess of Ronghe likes fine bean paste and quicksand mooncakes. Cantonese moon cakes are also determined to have six kinds of fillings.
Suzhou-style mooncakes are crispy, crispy, and layered on top of each other, heavy oil but not greasy, sweet and salty. In addition to the five-kernel flavor, Gu Ye also poured out rose filling, crystal hundred fruit filling, sweet leg hundred fruit filling, pine nut jujube paste and water washed sand filling, and also made up six kinds.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the big kitchen and the small kitchen are mobilized, steaming what should be steamed, and roasting what should be baked. After the filling is ready, all the skilled subordinates in Ning Wangfu, both men and women, participate in the process of filling, printing, and baking. Even Gangzi, who finally had Xiu Mu's turn and came to Ningwangfu to eat and drink, was also pulled into a strong man.
Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old Zongling of the clan, the two Zongzheng, King Jing's Mansion, King Qin's Mansion, Princess Hejia's Mansion, and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which is slightly closer to Princess Rong He, all received a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from King Ning's Mansion - a box of moon cake gift boxes.
Exquisite gift box, after opening it, it is found that it is three layers up and down. The first layer is a white and clear snow skin mooncake, with a beautiful shape, beautiful color, and delicate pattern, which makes people can't believe that this is a dim sum rather than a beautiful work of art.
The second layer is Cantonese mooncakes, six palm-sized golden mooncakes, printed with auspicious and beautiful patterns, exuding a thick, alluring sweet fragrance.
The last layer is a Suzhou-style mooncake, with a crispy golden shell and dotted with crispy sesame seeds, which looks very appetizing.
Lao Zongling's most favored little grandson climbed on his grandfather's lap, stared at the tempting moon cakes in the gift box, and asked in a milky voice: "Grandpa, this is so good-looking, can you eat it?" ”
Lao Zongling's eldest son looked at the moon cake gift box with complicated eyes, and said, "Are you sure it was sent by Ning Wangfu?" Got me right? Isn't King Ning not close to anyone? Over the years, I have never heard of him giving a Boxing gift to anyone. The sun is coming out in the west today? ”
