As soon as she finished explaining, she heard the fourth elder brother put down his chopsticks and sighed slightly: "Fujin, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

He raised his hand and knocked on the edge of the table, signaling the servant next to him to help Fu Jin up.

The dinner was eaten in silence, except for the servants who went in and out lightly, and the whole room was silent—one too lazy to speak, the other afraid to say more.

Seeing that the soup in front of him was a little cold, the Wulanala clan was about to let the minions withdraw, but he heard the fourth elder brother say: "This time for the holidays, you haven't been idle, take a good rest tonight." ”

Fujin was overjoyed, thinking that he was going to stay, but the fourth elder brother threw the hot hand towel to the side, and the slave went out with the copper basin, the fourth elder brother stood up, his face was calm, and he said naturally: "I'll come to see you another day." ”

Fu Jin's face changed, he stood up at a loss, the hand in his sleeve was slightly raised, and said, "Fourth master......"

The fourth elder brother snorted, and went out with his back hand.

The minions stepped forward and silently hugged the fourth elder brother and left.

……

Early the next morning, in Ning Ying's courtyard, she was sitting in the stove room, facing a long table, cutting all the pastries from the Hundred Cake Workshop and studying them carefully.

Ting'er was next to her and gave her a hand.

Many of the pastries bought back from the cake shop have puff pastry - such as lotus cake, wife cake, lotus pastry, peach cake, mung bean cake, the fragrance is very fragrant, but it is all scum after eating a bite, and you have to use a veil to continue.

And it's too oily.

As a cooking enthusiast, Ning Ying had studied Chinese pastries before traveling, and knew that puff pastry required a lot of oil.

And at this time, there are no preservatives, and if the pastry is made, if you want to ensure that it will not deteriorate within a few days, you must have heavy oil and heavy sugar.

So it's not surprising.

However, at this time, most of the traditional pastries used lard in order to ensure that they were fragrant.

It's easy to get tired after eating too much.

Ning Ying tasted the same thing, but she didn't expect that what she had the most appetite for was a box of inconspicuous yam egg yolk crisp.

The yam is steamed and ground into a puree, which is the raw material, and then it is served with salted egg yolk, and when you bite into it, it is full of oil - very simple, but delicious.

While they were eating and studying, the little eunuchs came back with a lot of yams from the dining room.

Ning Ying looked at the yam and remembered the last Jinsha custard mooncake, which she and the fourth elder brother both liked to eat.

Ning Ying plans to make a salted egg yolk yam cake to try.

She hadn't done a combination of the two ingredients before the crossing - this was the first time she had tried it.

In the matter of "eating", Ning Ying never had any procrastination - immediately let the little eunuch make a fire, and then Ting'er helped her wash the yam, peel it, and steam it in the pot.

After letting it cool a little, press it with a spoon into a puree and add the boiled barley water little by little.

In fact, milk can also be added, but in order to make the taste clearer, Ning Ying specially used barley water instead.

After the yam puree is ready, she divides the yam puree into more than a dozen small balls like dumplings, and then fills it with golden sand yellow, and closes the bottom.

The salted egg yolk yam cake is ready.

In a hurry, coupled with the first time I did it, the strength was not properly controlled, and the appearance of the yam cake was inevitably ugly.

But the incense is really fragrant!

Ning Ying gave it to Qing Yang and Ting'er to taste, and asked them to take a few pieces to the little eunuchs in the courtyard, she just entered the hall with a plate, sat down and took a sip of tea, and sent the second piece of salted egg yolk yam cake to her mouth.

Wu Gege came over to visit the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she didn't say anything, she took a deep breath first, and then clapped her hands with a smile and said, "It's so fragrant!" It smells so good! ”

The weather is getting cooler now, but she is wearing a little more wealth than before - a bright peach-colored flag suit, and the hem pattern is edged with a touch of gray silver and navy blue, adding a bit of stability and elegance.

The combing method of the bun is also very chic, with a few beads hanging down from the sideburns, with earrings, between words, the treasure light flows, and the whole person is particularly smart.

Qing Yang looked at Wu Gege's bun, and always felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only give up.

As soon as Wu Gege sat down, he first asked the maid to hand over the gift box in her hand: "Sister Ning, this is a hometown specialty sent in by my mother's trustee in the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have a good relationship on weekdays, you take it!" ”

As she spoke, she leaned over her neck, lowered her voice, and whispered: "In this backyard, I have the best friendship with you, and I haven't sent anyone else, don't say that you leaked your mouth when you turn around!" ”

Qing Yang glanced at Ning Ying, and when he saw Ning Ying nodding, he took it.

Wu Gege stared intently at the salted egg yolk yam cake on the table, then covered his mouth and smiled, shook his head and said: "Although this cake looks a little ordinary, I know that my sister's craftsmanship is the best, let me try my sister's cake!" ”

She picked up the handkerchief, talked to herself, took a piece of salted egg yolk yam cake, put it in her mouth, tasted it carefully for a moment, and then nodded: "It's delicious—but the taste seems to be lighter." ”

Ning Ying followed and took a piece, and sent it into her mouth without hurry, and then said with a little mystery: "Is it light?" I think it's refreshing. The fourth master likes this kind of dim sum wrapped in egg yolk. ”

When Wu Gege heard the last sentence, his eyes suddenly shook slightly.

She smiled and propped her chin on her elbows, staring at Ning Ying without blinking, and asked, "By the way, Sister Ning, how is this salted egg yolk yam cake made?" ”

Ning Ying then said it simply.

Wu Gege listened without blinking, and when Ning Ying finished speaking, she suddenly stood up as if she had thought of something, and waved her hand again and again: "Sister, don't misunderstand what I mean!" I just think...... I felt that it was rare to have a simple pastry, so I asked casually, don't be careful! ”

Ning Ying picked up the teacup, took a sip, tilted her head slightly, and asked her with a smile: "What does my sister think I should be more concerned about?" ”

Wu Gege was choked by her question at once.

……

After Wu Gege left, Qingyang came over, and without saying a word, he lowered his head to clean up the tea cups and dishes, with a faint melancholy between his eyebrows.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room, Qing Yang held the tea cup in one hand, and leaned behind Ning Ying and whispered: "Gege, do you feel that Wu Gege's dress and behavior are not the same as before?" And Fang Cai - why did she ask Gege about the method of this salted egg yolk yam cake? ”

When she said this, she inevitably regretted it, stomped her foot lightly, and said in a low voice: "Gege, you should also be sincere!" Why tell her so much? ”

Ning Ying patted the back of Qing Yang's hand: "Such a simple pastry - it's the same whether I say it or not." If she had this thought, she just had to go to the dining room and ask a cook, and then ponder it, and she would naturally be able to do it. ”
