With the successful baking of these two cakes, there will be a return gift for Shen Zhongyi and the Li family.

Grandma Liu and Liu's are both ingenious women, during the day, the mother and daughter wrapped horn millet together, and braided the silk threads of various colors bought by Liu Qingshan into longevity threads, bracelets and anklets, as well as decorative auspicious ruyi knots, etc., plus two cakes that have never been seen on the market, although they are not as good as the gifts sent by Shen and Li on both sides, but the total amount of zero and zero also cost them twenty times, which is just a return gift for the two of them.

And on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, it is not a festival now, there are already such big human contacts, and in the future, when encountering these big festivals on the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, the specifications will inevitably be raised a little, so now such a return gift has taken out the greatest sincerity for their family, and the value is not enough, novel to make up, after all, there are these two cakes finale.

In order to ensure the taste of the finale cake sent the next day, Liu Chenxing also took up the time to practice calligraphy the next morning, and freshly baked two and four cakes.

Words need to be practiced diligently in order to write well.

The time to practice calligraphy in the morning was occupied, of course, to make up for it, Liu Chenxing was in the middle of the lunch break in the history museum, splashed ink for two quarters of an hour, completed the task of self-study today, and continued to sit in the history museum for this day, reading the rich collection of books in the history library.

Just when Liu Chenxing was immersed in the sea of books for another day, Shen Zhongyi had already enjoyed the privilege of leaving the palace early and returning to the Wei Palace.

The mansion of Prince Yipin has its own ice cellar.

It's just that the empress knew that Shen Zhongyi was greedy for cold, and she called Gao San's envoy to specifically instruct that before the palace did not appreciate ice, the Wei Wangfu should not open the ice cellar in the palace to take ice.

Although the master of the Gao San envoy is Shen Zhongyi, in such an innocuous trivial matter, he inevitably has to obey the empress, not to mention that this is also for Shen Zhongyi's good.

With the ice cubes rewarded by the empress, you can also take ice from the ice cellar of the Wei Palace, put the summer ice to cool off the summer in the corners of the room, the house is sitting in the north and facing south, the courtyard carries the towering ancient trees, the canopy is like clouds covering the sun, there is a large pond not far away, all kinds of geographical advantages are artificial, so that the interior is cool, the fan shakes up, and even a little cool.

Although the interior of King Wei's Mansion is cool, as soon as the weather is hot, Shen Zhongyi's appetite will still not be very good.

Thinking that Shen Zhongyi returned to the palace just after noon today, it is estimated that he left without a few mouthfuls of lunch in the palace, but now the hour is not dark, if he uses serious food, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat it, and secondly, the twilight food will be reduced again, so Gao Sanzhi asked people to prepare pastries.

For a while, Shen Zhongyi bathed and changed clothes to wash away the hustle and bustle, changed into a wide robe and big sleeves and came to the study, the coolness of the room and the clean clothes on his body made Shen Zhongyi's whole person comfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little hungry.

Shen Zhongyi and Gao San's master and servant will take too many years, and he also knows Gao San's habits, his phoenix eyes swept to the long case in front of the study, and sure enough, he saw that there was food on it.

The same pale yellow oilskin paper is like a smooth food, and you can see a milky white filling on the side, and after a little thought, it is true that I have never seen or heard of it, but I can also see that there is a pastry on the long table.

But he doesn't like pastries very much, and he is not very interested in sweets that people like at the time, in fact, he has never liked food too much, light is enough, and he will often eat staple foods and less pastries, also because staple foods can fill the stomach.

Yes, Shen Zhongyi paused and said to Gao San, who was beside him: "Take down the pastries, just take a bowl of porridge or cold tao." "I don't have the habit of eating on the bookcase, so I still walk to the long table in front of the main room and sit down.

Sure enough, he still let him go down, Gao San's envoy has served Shen Zhongyi for too many years, and there is no princess or widow in the house, Shen Zhongyi's food, clothing, housing and transportation are almost all done by himself, he knows Shen Zhongyi's preferences, and naturally knows Shen Zhongyi's words, and comes to the long case to stand, thinking that after Shen Zhongyi returned to the house yesterday, he asked him if he gave Duanyang's festival gift to the Liu family, and he replied that he had already sent it, and even asked him to find a more ordinary-looking makeup. even took the initiative to mention that he wanted to add simple rouge gouache and one or two worthless jewelry, although the reason was not said, it is not difficult to guess how the other party is willing to accept it?

If you are valuable, you are only afraid of Liu Chenxing's parents, and Liu Buque, who is not simple, will also think more.

Therefore, after letting him find a complete set of makeup, he asked him to find a reason for himself, so that the Liu family would not know that this was specially given to Liu Chenxing alone.

The matter of yesterday's gift flashed in his mind, and Gao San's envoy did not immediately take down the pastry, but finally had the courage to consider it and said: "The Liu family's return gift was delivered this morning, and one of them is this mille-feuille cake." ”

"Mille-feuille?" Hearing this, Shen Zhongyi looked at the mille-feuille cake that he had never seen before, and his phoenix eyes couldn't help but rise, as expected, most of Liu Chenxing's return gifts were strange food, so he asked, "Is this Liu Chenxing's own doing?" ”

Hearing that Shen Zhongyi no longer asked him to remove the pastry, but asked about the origin of this pastry, although he was a little surprised, Gao Sanenvoy was still stunned, and warned himself that Shen Zhongyi has always disliked people to interfere, and he can't think much about it, the main thing is to serve the master, so he put down his heart again and again, and replied as usual as much as possible: "This mille-feuille cake is made by Liu Nushi herself, I heard that in order to ensure the taste of the cake, Liu Nushi deliberately stopped practicing calligraphy this morning, and rushed to make it before entering the palace." As for why it is called a mille-feuille cake, it was taken by Liu Nushi, saying that this pastry is mainly made of eggs and flour, so it is named cake. And this pastry is spread with a total of nine layers, and it is named a thousand layers after Liu Nushi. ”

After explaining the origin of the mille-feuille cake, Gao San's envoy persuaded from the side: "In addition, the sandwich filling inside, the soufflé used by Liu Nushi, the villain sees that this soufflé is beneficial to the king, and the Liu family also mentioned it when it was sent, saying that this mille-feuille cake tastes better if it is placed in the ice cellar, and the villain has been putting it in the ice cellar after receiving it, and it was only when the king bathed and changed clothes just now that people took it out." After a pause, thinking of Shen Zhongyi's abnormality, he added, "Let it be chilled in the ice cellar, it is said that it tastes better when it is cold, and it is also what Liu Nushi said." ”

Hearing the origin of the "mille-feuille cake", and then looking at the pastry in front of him, it was quite a bit like its name, Shen Zhongyi raised his eyebrows, and only said that this pastry was a cold ice food, but it was against the appetite, so he said to Gao San: "Since it is cold, then stay here, no need to change." ”
