487 (Southern Regions: Gu Yue Flower Cake)
Zi Ling'er said: "We heard it from the conversation you just had, and when you talked about your senior brother just now, your eyes weren't quite right, so I guessed it." ”
Luo Xiaocui lowered her head and muttered, "Actually, it's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I'm always looking for my senior brother, she wouldn't be so disgusted with me as she is today." ”
Shen Feiyan shook her head and walked to Luo Xiaocui's side to comfort her: "Sister, you are too kind, you were bullied by her just now, and you are still talking to that morning dew." I think she's here to find fault at all, don't blame yourself too much! ”
Hearing Shen Feiya comfort herself like this, Luo Xiaocui felt a trace of warmth in her heart, she smiled, and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you for being willing to help me today, I don't know how to repay you, why don't I invite you to eat the snacks I made......
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaocui should go back and change into dry clothes first, otherwise you will catch a cold if you keep wearing soaked clothes like this." After Zi Ling'er said this, Luo Xiaocui realized that her body was still wet.
Thankfully, it's hot and there's not much wind blowing today, so she doesn't feel unwell.
Zi Ling'er and Shen Feiyan came to Luo Xiaocui's house at Luo Xiaocui's strong invitation.
Xiao Cui's home is located next to a tall periwinkle tree, which grows very tall, and the thick black bark of the trunk is covered with traces left by the water moon.
The leaves of the periwinkle tree are green all year round, as if in the eyes of the periwinkle tree, spring, summer, autumn and winter are all seasons.
Under the periwinkle tree was a sleek stone, the surface of which was as smooth as if it had been polished, and although it was not flat on the top, it could sit three people.
Next to the stone is a dilapidated bamboo basket made of bamboo strips, and there are some household utensils used for eating, although very shabby but very clean.
Next to this periwinkle tree, Zi Ling'er and Shen Feiya also saw a shop, and the sign of this shop had four big characters written on it'Gu Yue Flower Cake'.
"I think I've seen that name from somewhere...... It feels so familiar......" Shen Feiyan suddenly stopped, stood next to this shop, looked at this sign and thought.
Zi Ling'er asked, "Could this shop be the girl's shop?" ”
Luo Xiaocui smiled, "Yes......"
“!!!!!” Zi Ling'er immediately opened her eyes and looked at Luo Xiaocui's face with a look of disbelief.
Shen Feiyan pulled Zi Ling'er's cuffs and asked her, "Sister Zi...... What happened to you? ”
Zi Ling'er said: "It's a shame that you're still a snack, so soon you forgot about it, when we came to the Southern Regions, we saw a task on the notice board of the Mercenary Guild: In the west of the Southern Regions, the old shop 'Gu Yue Flower Cake' under the Changchun tree lined up to buy ten pieces of cake, and rewarded twenty taels of gold." That's the task. ”
"Ah!!h Shen Feiyan's memory suddenly emerged, she looked at Luo Xiaocui standing in front of her, and said in disbelief: "Sister, you are the shopkeeper of Gu Yuehua cake??? ”
Luo Xiaocui still smiled, "Yes......"
Zi Ling'er covered half of her cheeks with her hand in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Then wouldn't the snack you invited us to eat ......?"
Luo Xiaocui nodded, "That's right, it's the kind of pastry that everyone sells very similarly." ”
Immediately, Shen Feiya jumped up excitedly, looking like a bouncing little white rabbit, "Sister Zi, we are too lucky today!" I just ate the snow skin rose cake, and now I can eat the Gu Yue flower cake again! I'm so blessed! ”
After hearing Shen Feiya say this, Luo Xiaocui felt very happy, she took Zi Ling'er and Shen Feiya to her house, and just when she was about to change clothes, she put a plate of Gu Yue's flower cake on the table.
"You eat and rest first, and I'll go change my clothes." After Luo Xiaocui finished speaking, she walked into the bedroom door and began to change clothes.
Shen Feiya was not polite at all, she came up and took a piece of Gu Yue flower cake, and stuffed the Gu Yue flower cake that was not too big into her mouth in one go.
Just when she tasted this flower cake, her eyes instantly widened like copper bells, this flower cake compared to the previous snowy rose cake, it was almost a street of pastries.
Both the color and fragrance are of an excellent level, and although it looks very ordinary, this flower cake that is less than half the size of the palm of your hand gives people a very magical feeling.
The taste of this flower cake is not sweet, not salty, the taste is moderate, the skin is a little crispy, but it is not greasy, it feels a little cold and cold in the mouth, and there are many layers when you taste it carefully, which is really a kind of enjoyment.
After Zi Ling'er finished eating a piece, she quickly picked up another piece and put it in her mouth and began to taste it.
It turned out that this Guyue flower cake is more fragrant and easily addicted the more you eat it, and the more you taste it, the stronger the taste. It's so delicious that I can't stop it.
Zi Linger rarely eats this kind of pastry, after all, many of this pastry are polysaccharides and oils, and it is easy to get tired of eating, but this pastry is completely reversed, no matter how you eat it, it feels very fresh, and I don't know what ingredients are put in it, but I think it is delicious.
The two couldn't stop eating, and a plate of pastries was emptied by the two in an instant.
Obviously, before the two of them went out, they had eaten snowy rose cake, and they were not very hungry, but after coming here to eat this pastry, the two of them gave people the feeling that they were like little girls who had not eaten food for a few days and were hungry, and this feeling was really a little weird.
Soon Luo Xiaocui walked out of the house and brought out two plates of pastries.
After seeing Luo Xiaocui bring out two more plates of pastries, Shen Feiya said happily: "Great! I just haven't eaten enough......"
Luo Xiaocui smiled, "I guessed, everyone likes to eat my flower cake, so I'll prepare more for you." ”
When Luo Xiaocui put down the two plates, Zi Ling'er suddenly remembered a question, she looked up at Luo Xiaocui and said, "Miss Xiaocui, sit down, I am still curious about some things, and I want to ask you." ”
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask." Luo Xiaocui didn't mind what questions Zi Ling'er wanted to ask herself, after all, she was very happy to be able to get along with a beautiful girl like Zi Ling'er who respected herself.
Zi Ling'er asked: "We saw on the notice board of the Mercenary Guild that someone wanted to sell your pastries with a lot of money, so I asked the person next to me curiously, and someone said that you only sell a hundred yuan a day, no more, no less, why is this?" ”
Luo Xiaocui smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that it takes a long time to make this pastry, in order to ensure that the pastry is delicious, so I have to spend a lot of time preparing materials every time, and I don't have the energy to make too much, like what you eat, in fact, it is some failed defective products, in order not to waste it, so I will stay and eat it myself......"
Shen Feiyan's hand suddenly stopped, looked up at Luo Xiaocui opposite, blinked his eyes, and said incredulously: "Huh? Such delicious dim sum is considered defective? Sister, you have such high requirements for yourself! ”
Luo Xiaocui nodded, a little embarrassed and said, "I'm really embarrassed to let you eat the defective products I made......"
Zi Ling'er picked up a piece and said, "If we can make all the defective products so delicious, what do we mind?" ”
Shen Feiyan nodded in agreement, "Even if this is a defective product, it is also an excellent defective product!" If my sister didn't say it, we thought this was the real Gu Yue flower cake! ”
Zi Ling'er asked, "How long have you been making this flower cake?" ”
Luo Xiaocui said: "It's probably a year or two...... This flower cake was created when I found out that I liked my brother......"
Shen Feiyan asked suspiciously, "Huh?" What do you mean? ”
Luo Xiaocui said: "I remember when I was making pastries, I was kneading dough, and after kneading for a while, I remembered my senior brother, who was stunned at that time, and accidentally added some ingredients into it." At the time, I didn't know what I was adding to it, but the feeling of eating it in my mouth was amazing, like the skin of the pastry you were eating. ”
Luo Xiaocui broke open a piece of Gu Yue flower cake, looked at the flower cake and said: "After that, I found that the pastry made by this way was delicious, so I began to try to add some content to it to enrich the taste of this pastry, so the current Gu Yue flower cake appeared." ”
Zi Ling'er: "It seems that you created a new dim sum when you were in a hurry." ”
Luo Xiaocui: "It's true, after I made it that time, I couldn't find that taste for a long time, and after many failed attempts, I finally mastered the process of making this pastry, what needs to be added, and what needs to be paid attention to." ”
"Don't look at this pastry looks ordinary, but its workmanship is really cumbersome, with my current ability, I can make about a hundred ...... a morning at most."
Shen Feiyan: "So my sister wastes all her time making this snack?" ”
Luo Xiaocui nodded and didn't say a word.
When Zi Ling'er met Luo Xiaocui for the first time, she felt that Luo Xiaocui's personality was a little introverted, and she didn't like to talk to strangers she didn't know much, perhaps because her own appearance would make her feel inferior.
If no one takes the initiative to talk to her, she will never take the initiative to talk to others, and after a long time, I am afraid that everyone will begin to alienate her.
"So you haven't communicated with any men except for your senior brother?"
After Zi Ling'er said this, Luo Xiaocui nodded awkwardly.
"Because I was really afraid that they would dislike me for being ugly and drive me away, I chose to devote all my time and experience to making dim sum, at least dim sum will not dislike my looks, and I can also find fun in making dim sum."
Shen Feiyan nodded, "Indeed." ”
