Chapter 225: Pastry Shop

The wisteria flower sauce was evenly placed on the wrapped fresh meat pastry and a small flower was drawn, and the two of them were satisfied with the dim sum put it in the steamer.

Lu Qingjin was full of interest and wanted to continue, but was stopped, Xiao Si smiled bitterly and said, "Let's rest, girls!" Now that the steamer is full, there are a lot of pastries, if you continue to make it, I'm afraid it will be wasted, you might as well try it first! ”

Before Lu Qingjin could speak, he heard Concubine Shu's voice not far away: "I heard that you are making snacks here after reading the account book in the palace!" It's so laid-back! But this is the first time I've heard of someone making dim sum to the point that the entire palace can't eat it. ”

Concubine Yun saw her coming and took a bite of half-truths and half-truths: "You know that when you come here, you're done at this time, aren't you here to eat?" This is a sarcasm before eating other people's food. ”

Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay!" Am I wrong? This pastry looks really peculiar, but I didn't expect the two of you to have this kind of craftsmanship. ”

Concubine Shu said as she picked up a piece of wisteria cake that had been cooled and ate it, the juice of the wisteria flower had penetrated the glutinous rice, 1 The whole thing was even more trembling like jelly, and it melted in the mouth with the refreshing light aroma of wisteria flowers, although it was less of the heaviness of ordinary pastries, but more of a cold and refreshing taste.

After eating, Concubine Shu nodded and looked at the two people in surprise: "How is this done?" How come I never ate it? ”

Lu Qingjin handed her the bowl with wisteria sauce and nodded with a smile: "It looks good, this is also a new method I came up with, the general pastry feels too thick in the mouth, even if the wisteria juice is added, it is much better if it is not directly made into wisteria sauce." ”

Concubine Shu took the wisteria sauce, tasted it, frowned, sniffed it, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Did you put mint in here?" ”

Lu Qingjin didn't expect her nose to be so easy to use, nodded and said: "You are quite powerful, this wisteria flower sauce itself has a little cool taste, but it is not obvious after combining it with glutinous rice, I deliberately added a little mint in order to restore the taste of wisteria flowers, and the taste is really heavy if you eat it alone." ”

Concubine Shu looked at the pastries slowly served by the little palace maids, and the corners of her mouth twitched, only to see that the long panel was full of dim sum, the left and right plates were dazzling, and even many of them were strange and strangely shaped.

Lu Qingjin didn't seem to notice the indescribable gazes of the people around him, and beckoned Xiao Si to put a little bit of all kinds of pastries on them and give them to Qin Zhao, Concubine Yun didn't expect that there would be so many in the end, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "Why don't you send it to Concubine Li and Concubine Xian!" There are so many of them, not to mention us, even if we add the three palaces together, we can't finish it. ”

This makes some sense, Lu Qingjin nodded nonchalantly, and stretched out his hand to the side of the milk cake, because it was the first time to try Yunfei's milk cake without sugar, I originally thought it would be very bland, I don't know if it is because of the wisteria cake, this milk cake has a different flavor, at least Lu Qingjin likes to eat it.

Concubine Shu looked at the other snacks that she hadn't eaten when she had almost eaten, and handed a piece to the palace people behind her from time to time, Concubine Yun is also a beautiful girl, she can't eat much in normal times, and now she eats almost, Lu Qingjin looked left and right and said helplessly: "You are not so much here to eat, but now you have only eaten a few pieces!" If it goes on like this, even if it is sent to various palaces, it will not be able to be divided. ”

Concubine Shu looked thoughtfully at the dim sum in front of her, and she didn't know what to think, and she didn't speak for a while, the excitement of Concubine Yun doing such a thing for the first time hadn't passed, and she waved her hand indifferently when she heard the words: "We are now the mothers of the palace, if you can't finish eating, you can send them home without saying anything, and if you can't do it, you can reward those ministers." ”

Lu Qingjin stuffed a piece of milk cake into his mouth and said vaguely: "Then forget it!" Those ministers didn't know what they wanted to do one by one, and they even impeached me every now and then, and even if they gave them these snacks to eat, they must collect money. ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Shu suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "That's it! Let's open a pastry shop! It's really not good if they are all sent to Shengshi Pavilion, and now Shengshi Pavilion's work is already hard to find, even if it is put in, the business will not increase much, if it is a pastry shop again, it will be different, and then it may be able to be equal to Shengshi Pavilion. ”

Concubine Yun thought about it and felt that it was a good idea, and before she could echo it, she heard Lu Qingjin's somewhat dull voice: "I'm not hitting you, it's really hard to say anything else at this time, if you are interested, you can only find another cover on your face, the courtiers' eyes are mostly in the harem now, let's be careful!" ”

This is not wrong at all, I am afraid that if the pastry shop is opened today, tomorrow the emperor will have the impeachment of everyone in the harem, and it may even affect the family.

Xiao Si on the side saw that Lu Qingjin's mood was dull and he was a little anxious to think of a way, and after a while, Xiao Si slowly spoke: "Listen to me, ladies, now most of the courtiers are staring at the harem, let's just find someone else to open near the capital, didn't there be people from the Western Regions to do business a few days ago?" If you find someone from the Western Regions to cooperate, it will be fine. ”

Lu Qingjin thought for a while and shook his head firmly: "After all, they are foreigners, and the ambitions of the people of the Western Regions are far greater than they show, and it is difficult to say the consequences of cooperating with them." ”

Concubine Shu clapped her face and stood up as if she remembered something: "What the queen said makes sense, but we don't necessarily have to find merchants in the Western Regions, there are a lot of refugees in the Western Regions at home, and it was just for the convenience of doing business with the Western Regions, but now it's not easy to go to the Western Regions, these people will come down first, if they open a pastry shop in their name, it will be much more reliable, after all, there is a deed of sale, and there will be no major disputes." ”

Lu Qingjin almost forgot that there was a deed of sale, and nodded happily when he heard this, and this pastry shop was beginning to take shape.
