Soon, Li Yi found that she was thinking too simply: there was an unmistakable burst of "Gollum ......" from her stomach.

Xiao Cui saw that Li Yi's fever had subsided, and the person also came to his senses, his heart was stable, and his words and deeds revealed the liveliness and agility of the young woman, and he covered his mouth and smiled: "The slave maid asked people to bring another bowl of porridge, and the young lady should be calm and impatient." ”

Li Yi looked embarrassed: "Xiaocui...... Do you have...... I mean, are there any snacks or anything like that in the room? "She felt hungrier than when she first woke up! The three bowls of porridge that had just been drunk also evaporated as if out of thin air, leaving only an empty, hungry stomach. It would take at least five minutes to make a round trip to the kitchen, and she couldn't wait that long...... At first, she was a little embarrassed, the original owner was a big girl, how could she open her mouth to ask others for food. Later, the tone was faintly audible, and the urgency was faintly heard.

Xiao Cui brought Li Yi a black lacquered box, similar to a modern fruit bowl with a lid. Inside the box are some regular white pastries.

Li Yi hurriedly picked up a piece and bit it: "Why is this smell?" ”

In modern times, few people like to eat old-fashioned pastries.

A good pastry should roughly meet the following elements: full aroma, moderate sweetness, delicate taste, and beautiful appearance.

Antique pastries are often given as gifts, and although the packaging box says that they are handmade, they are actually machine-made. Machine-processed pastries destroy the original "aroma" of the ingredients. incense, it's a little less.

Sugar was a scarce thing in ancient times, and ordinary people rarely ate sugar. If the ancients bought sweet food, but it was not sweet enough, the ancients would inevitably have the idea that "this boss is reluctant to put sugar and buy it at a loss". Therefore, in the recipe of ancient pastries, sugar must be very sufficient. This kind of "sufficient" is too sweet by the standard of a modern person who has not eaten less sugar.

Half of the four points that a good pastry needs to do are not qualified.

A large part of the popularity of Western-style pastries is due to the way they are sold: they are made freshly by hand in a cake shop and have a shelf life of only two days. It is also because it is just an everyday food and is not used as a gift to carry more emotions. Imagine this: Mom and Dad have come back from France and brought you a beautifully wrapped gift, solemnly telling you that this is the most famous gift we brought you in France. You open it expectantly, and wow, it's ...... Tear off the plastic packaging outside the egg yolk pie of a certain garden! Will you be very disappointed at this time? When you taste it with great suspicion, you find that it doesn't have the bread aroma you bought with a pastry order downstairs! It's okay to eat the first bite, but it's not fragrant enough, and the second bite feels so sweet that it's greasy. You'll get angry and think, "Western pastries are nothing more than that!"

In the same way, when you carefully taste a local specialty, an ancient pastry, and find that it does not taste as expected, you will have the thought of "I don't like antique pastries".

The fact that people from the region still love old-fashioned pastries is a good proof of this. For example, Suzhou people still love Suzhou-style pastries. Even though there is a factor that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like sweetness, it is more because it is easy to eat handmade pastries in Suzhou. There are all kinds of pastry shops everywhere in Suzhou City, and everyone also regards it as a daily food, so it is very acceptable.

Although Li Yi rarely eats old-fashioned pastries in modern times, she also knows that it is definitely not the feeling in her mouth: it is very sweet and fragrant enough, but the graininess is obvious.

She finished eating one piece and didn't want to eat the second one because she didn't feel hungry! I was able to eat a cow just now, but now I'm full because of a snack that doesn't fit? Is the original owner's mouth too picky? Or maybe she has a stomach problem?

Li Yi used to frown lightly when thinking about problems, and after Xiao Cui finished instructing the people outside the door, she turned her head and saw Li Yi sitting on the bed with a puzzled face, mistakenly thinking that she was thinking about how she could have a fever and fall into a coma. Then he blamed himself: "It's all the slave and maid who are not good, and the young lady didn't know that she had a fever in the middle of the night, and she didn't find out until she woke up the next day." Punish the slave and the slave, and the slave will not blame herself at all. With that, he made a "poof" and knelt down.

Li Yi embarrassed her to get up. She has never been kneeled like this since she was a child, even though she wants to pretend to be graceful and generous, she still can't hide her panic. I smiled bitterly in my heart, when will I be able to adapt to this kneeling world?

It was not easy to explain to Xiaocui that she was a little worried about whether she had stomach problems. She stood up with a sense of relief. Li Yi finally relaxed and secretly let out a long breath. The little cui she saw in her dream has always been dedicated to taking care of the original owner. In addition, she is well-organized and thorough. In less than two years after entering the house, she became the big girl next to the original owner. The original owner really can't blame her for having a fever. If you want to blame, you can only blame Li Yi herself. It's the rejection reaction that occurs when you cross into the original owner's body.

Seeing that Li Yi really didn't blame, Xiaocui resumed her previous generosity and thoughtfulness: Since Miss doesn't eat anymore, do you want to rest for a while? Tomorrow morning, the elders of the family will come to see you when they hear the news that you are awake. If the young lady is worried about stomach problems, wouldn't it be better to ask the doctor invited by the lady directly than to guess by herself?

Li Yi really wanted to lie down for a while, not because she felt tired, but because she wanted to stay alone and digest the fact that she had crossed.
