Chapter 51 Lotus Cake
Mingyue Building is a newly opened green building after the collapse of Cuihuayuan, and it has gained a firm foothold in Wudong Mansion in a short time, a large part of the reason is because the girls in it are all beautiful as flowers, and they have unique skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking, female work, drinking, accompanying the wine order, a top master, no matter what hobbies you have, you can find the corresponding girl to accompany you.
Naturally, Mingyue Tower has become a gentle township for all men in Wudong Mansion.
Liu Xin'er saw that Mu Bangxiang came as agreed, she was relieved, compared to the bewitching dress in Cuihuayuan, she looked much more elegant today, and the whole makeup looked a lot more dignified, but she had a beautiful temperament.
Mu Bangxiang is more and more able to understand why men love to come here.
On the way here, Mu Wanxiang thought of a question, she quietly pulled Liu Xin'er aside and whispered: "If they find out that you cheat in cooking, will you be disqualified?" ”
Liu Xin'er smiled: "There are only wins and losses in Mingyue Tower, and no one will care what means you use." ”
Mu Bangxiang was quite surprised, and she was even more curious, who is the boss behind this Mingyue Building?
She specially lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Xin'er, who is your boss?" ”
Liu Xin'er walked slowly to the bronze mirror, constantly examining the makeup on her face to make sure that she was foolproof to win the flower tonight.
She took Qingdai and traced it on her eyebrows a few times, and then replied: "I don't know who the boss behind it is, but there is a Zhao steward here, and everyone listens to his arrangement." ”
After the makeup was fine, she opened a jewelry box, pointed to the contents and asked, "What do you think is the best?" ”
Mu Bangxiang glanced at it lightly, the jewelry in it is much better than that of Cuihuayuan, no wonder Liu Xin'er is desperately trying to compete for the Oiran, it seems that it is a money-making business.
She glanced at Liu Xin'er's makeup and pointed to a hairpin with a green body inside.
"I think the jade hairpin is the most suitable with your makeup today, and it looks fresh and moving."
If it was in the Cuihua Courtyard, Liu Xin'er would definitely not care about Mu Bangxiang's opinion, but this is Mingyue Building, and the play is fresh and refined, she inserted the hosta into the bun, and sure enough, a lot of fat powder tasted away.
Looking at the woman in the mirror, Liu Xin'er smiled with satisfaction, this may be the reason why she was able to gain a foothold in Mingyue Tower quickly, because she was very smart and knew what was most suitable.
After holding her hair bun, Liu Xin'er turned around and reminded: "I heard that the identity of the boss of this Mingyue Building is not simple, don't offend him, otherwise we will have a good result." “
Mu Bangxiang immediately understood, and she hurriedly said: "I'm here to cook dishes today, and I don't want to care about other things." ”
"That's good." What makes Liu Xin'er the most satisfied is that Mu Bangxiang is smart enough and doesn't need to say anything, "By the way, what dishes are you going to cook tonight?" ”
She thought for a while, and then said: "Mingyue Lou's kitchen ingredients are readily available, no matter what you want, Steward Zhao can get it." ”
From this point of view, the boss of this Mingyue Building really has the hands and eyes of the sky, and he is so generous.
Mu Bangxiang replied: "I plan to make pastry lotus cakes. ”
"Lotus Crisp ......" Liu Xin'er hesitated for a long time, but still said what she was worried about, "Lotus Crisp is indeed a more difficult pastry to make, but this is not the most chic, if you can't be ingenious, if you want to win among many girls, it's just a fool's dream." “
"Don't worry, my lotus crisp is definitely different from other people's lotus crisp. It's going to take a while to do this, so I'll go to the back kitchen and get busy." For her cooking skills, Mu Bangxiang is very confident, "By the way, you try to delay the time until the end." ”
Liu Xin'er nodded: "I took into account the particularity of cooking food before, so I told Steward Zhao that we would be the last to appear." ”
Hearing her words, Mu Bangxiang was also a lot more relieved.
After Liu Xin'er led Mu Bangxiang to the back kitchen, she turned around and went to the front yard, where she wanted to see how the other girls were doing.
Muwan Xiang peels and scatters the dried lotus seeds, then washes them and puts them in a steamer basket to steam, and after the lotus seeds are steamed, the lotus seeds are mashed into a puree with a stone mortar.
Mantou squatted aside boredly: "Sister, I want to help, but the ghost can't help at all, I'm really sorry." ”
Mu Bangxiang smiled: "It's good that you have this heart." ”
Wait until the iron pot is hot, then pour in the lard and wait until it is slightly smoking, add the sugar, boil together, and then pour in the lotus seeds just made, and keep stir-frying.
Until the spatula is not sticky, add ghee, and the lotus seed filling becomes oily and white.
Mantou sighed: "I can't imagine that making a small pastry would take so much effort." ”
"Of course, you must not test pastries, the more delicate the things, the more labor-intensive, but the easier it is to stir-fry." So Mu Bangxiang would rather stir-fry than make pastries, which is too abrasive.
When it is about the same, Muwan incense is poured into flour and warm water, and the lard is stirred together to form a water and oil surface, and the other half of the dry flour is kneaded into a dry oil puff pastry.
Put the puff pastry dough into the water and oil dough, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough into rectangular slices, keep rolling, cut into the same size of the agent, and then knead it into a round skin, and finally put in the lotus seed filling, throw it into the oil pan to fry, the fried dough is like a bright lotus, and the lotus cake is also named after it.
The steamed bun couldn't help but say: "This lotus is no different from the usual look!" ”
"yes, you'll find out later." Mu Bangxiang started the steps just now, but she added other things to the dough, and the steamed bun couldn't understand, so in order not to disturb Mu Bangxiang, he didn't continue to ask.
At this moment, Liu Xin'er hurried over: "I lost, I lost this time." ”
Mu Bangxiang asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What happened to the girl in front? ”
"It's Xiangxiang, she danced a flying fairy dance, which caused all the guests to chant Oiran." Liu Xin'er has a high spirit, if it weren't for the last resort, she would never bow her head and admit defeat, but today's dance of Xiangxiang is so beautiful, even if she is a woman, she can see it, let alone other men.
Liu Xin'er looked at the ordinary lotus cakes, and suddenly lost confidence, and couldn't help complaining: "Are you still holding grudges against our grievances in Cuihuayuan, so you deliberately made this thing to fool me." ”
This is why Mu Bangxiang has always disliked Liu Xin'er, but the money has been accepted, so she naturally can't leave the stall and stop working, so she has to persuade Liu Xin'er patiently: "Sister, don't worry about it first, the real show is still to come." ”
Liu Xin'er sat on the Taishi chair dejectedly, she no longer had any hope.
"That's it, I know you must still hate me for helping Fang Cuihua deal with you in the first place, but I was also forced to be helpless, now that we are all poor people, can't you help me win the game? Make another dish, even if I beg you. ”
Mu Bangxiang rubbed her eyebrows, she wanted to leave like this, but this was not her style.
There was no way, so she had to bow her head and silently knead the dough in her hand.
Seeing that Mu Bangxiang didn't care about herself, Liu Xin'er became more and more angry, and her voice suddenly rose: "Mu Bangxiang, what's so great about you, if it weren't for you, I would still be the Oiran of Cuihuayuan now, and everything is your fault." ”
Hehe, Mu Bangxiang couldn't help but sneer, she slandered in her heart, Liu Xin'er was already old and decrepit, Fang Cuihua had already made a wishful thinking in her heart and wanted to replace her, she was still cheeky to say such a thing, it was simply ridiculous.
No matter what, deal with this meal first, she will definitely not deal with Liu Xin'er in the future, no matter how much money Liu Xin'er pays, she will not care about it anymore.
Mu Bangxiang secretly made up her mind, and as she spoke, she had already made a specially made lotus cake.
When Liu Xin'er saw the blooming lotus flowers in her hand, her eyes widened instantly, where is this lotus cake, it is clearly a real lotus flower, what is going on?
Mu Bangxiang said with a smile: "Do you think this lotus cake can compete with her Flying Immortal Dance?" ”
At this moment, a smile appeared on Liu Xin'er's face.
