Chapter 7 Making Pastries
Time in a flash to February 12th, this day is the day of the banquet of the young masters and young ladies of the Anfu family, on this day An Shuyao's eldest sister An Shuxue, the second sister An Shulan and the third sister An Shuyan are all back, An Shuyao got up early in the morning, and walked to Lan Xuetang without breakfast.
"Miss, although the weather is a lot warmer, you also have to wear a cloak." Cuiliu followed behind An Shuyao and said.
"Bring it." An Shuyao stretched out her hand helplessly.
Cuiliu didn't hand over the thin cloak, but took a few steps forward, put the cloak on An Shuyao, and smiled with satisfaction after tightening it.
"When you grow up, you'll be Mama Zhang." An Shuyao angrily pointed at Cuiliu's forehead with her fingertips.
"Miss, isn't it all for your own good?" Cuiliu said with a pout.
"yes, it's all for my good." An Shuyao's tone suddenly became low.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Cuiliu looked at An Shuyao nervously.
"It's okay, let's go over quickly, my father will go to the morning court if it's late." An Shuyao looked at the sky, stabilized her mind and said.
An Shuyao's pace sped up a lot, and when she walked to Xuelan Hall, An Huai also happened to come out of the house, wearing an official uniform and preparing to go out.
"Dad, why don't you add a cloak?" An Shuyao stepped forward and said with concern.
"Yao'er is here, it's been a lot hotter recently, so it's okay to wear one less." An Huai was also happy to see her daughter.
"Bring a cape, don't worry Yao'er." Qin Rushuang walked out of the house, holding a dark cloak in her hand.
"Okay, I'll go to the court first." An Huai also took the cloak and hurriedly left.
"Mother, when are the sisters coming?" An Shuyao and Qin Rushuang went into the house together and said.
"I'll come later." Qin Rushuang now feels in a good mood, and her daughter is willing to be close to her again.
"That's early." An Shuyao felt that she was too anxious today.
"You haven't had breakfast yet?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"Well, it's useless to think that I can come over early and see Daddy." An Shuyao sat on the small kang and said.
"Then I'll let Mrs. Liu prepare." Qin Rushuang happily asked Mrs. Liu to prepare breakfast for An Shuyao.
An Shuyao finished breakfast and read a book on the small kang, and suddenly thought that her nephew and niece were still young, should she prepare some good snacks.
"Mother, do you have cow's milk or goat's milk at home?" An Shuyao really doesn't know much about home use.
"If you have goat's milk, Chenxi has to drink it every day." Qin Rushuang wasn't curious about what An Shuyao was going to do.
"Then I'll go to the kitchenette first." An Shuyao is a hands-on person, "Mother, you have asked someone to send goat milk to my yard." ”
"Hey, go ahead, I'll have someone send it." Qin Rushuang said with a smile.
An Shuyao walked to her yard after leaving Lan Xuetang, changed into simple clothes and went to the kitchen in her yard, the kitchen in her yard was just a place to make breakfast and medicinal food for her, there were many things, An Shuyao went back to the study, picked up a pen and paper and wrote down what she wanted to use.
An Shuyao read a lot of books, in her previous life, she learned a lot of dim sum practices, and also created some new dim sum and pastries, all because she was embarrassed in her later life, so she had to do it herself.
"Cuiliu, you give the list to Mama Zhang, let Mama go to the big kitchen to ask for it, and if you don't have it, let the person who buys it buy." An Shuyao looked at it carefully and handed the list to Cuiliu.
After Cuiliu went out, An Shuyao raised her feet and walked out of the study door, went to the small kitchen, and instructed the cook to make the noodles.
"Aunt Xu, help me divide the eggs after you make the noodles." An Shuyao said with ghee in his hand.
"Oh, good." Aunt Xu has been in Anfu for many years, and was dropped into An Shuyao's yard by the Zhou family a few years ago.
An Shuyao looked at the things sent by the big bags and smiled with satisfaction, the pastry she made today was a new type of dim sum she created herself in her previous life, which was easy to restrain and was soft and glutinous and sweet.
"Miss, everything is ready." Mama Zhang said while standing in the kitchen.
"Well, Mama and Cuiliu should also come to help." An Shuyao said with a smile.
"Yes." Mama Zhang responded with a smile.
After An Shuyao got sick this time, she became different from before, but her current personality makes people like it more and cares about everyone in the family.
After making the snacks and pastries, An Shuyao put the pastries on a plate, packed them separately in boxes, and asked his subordinates to send them to each room and courtyard, and did not forget to let people send a copy to Zhongshu Province, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy.
"Miss, you're fine-minded." Cuiliu combed An Shuyao's hair and said.
"Okay, don't praise me, hurry up and clean up, my sisters are here." An Shuyao really couldn't stand Cuiliu's constant praise.
Zhongshu Province, An Zhihe brought the food box in with a happy face, and Liu Jingan saw that An Zhihe, who usually doesn't smile much, was happy to be like this today, so he stepped forward.
"Why are you so happy today?" Liu Jingan asked, his eyes did not leave An Zhihe's food box.
"Today, my granddaughter made a special pastry, saying that I should eat it, it is so restrained, and I should eat these things when I am old." An Zhihe looked at Liu Jingan with a smile.
"Four girls?" Liu Jingan asked curtly.
"The four girls in my family have a heart, come and taste a piece." An Zhihe didn't care about Liu Jingan's changed face.
Liu Jingan picked up the pastry and ate a piece, his face was even more ugly, how could this filial child be in someone else's house, he didn't want to think about his family's bad things.
An Zhihe was just about to divide the pastries to Zuo Cheng, You Cheng and two Lang Zhong for everyone to taste, when the prince Li Muyang heard the sound.
"What's so exciting?" Li Muyang entered the door with a fold in his hand.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." The crowd stood up and saluted.
"No courtesy." The prince smiled and said, "Tell Gu Ye what kind of happy event makes you so happy." ”
"Back to the prince, it was the granddaughter of the old minister who brought the pastries made by himself to the old minister, and the old minister is planning to eat it with his colleagues." An Zhihe came out and said.
"Oh? It's rare to have such filial piety, can you taste it together? The prince raised his eyes and said with a smile.
"That's nature." An Zhihe responded with a smile.
The prince picked up the pastries on the plate, put them on his lips and could smell a fragrance and milky smell, and the soft and glutinous sweet taste was even worse after the entrance, the prince squinted his eyes and tasted the pastries, he would not use the pastries outside, but today he would be relieved that it was sent by Prime Minister An's family.
"It tastes good." The crown prince praised, "Can Prime Minister An ask Gu to bring a few back to his father?" ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie appreciates it, and the old minister will pack the pastries." An Zhihe personally packed the pastries into a food box.
The prince put down the fold, took the food box and left.
The people in Zhongshu Province did their own things, and Liu Jingan was a pity that he didn't eat an extra piece.
