Naturally, the situation is different.

Sudden death was naturally a little unacceptable, and it was betrayed by his companions, no matter what, Mu Ling couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

However, the last time she was in the submarine tomb, she had already gone back and started over again, witnessing all the results of the process, and it can be said that she had no worries.

In total, their current situation is more painful than before.

After the New Year, there is finally good news.

The envoy who sent the envoy to the country of Bailai has finally returned.

As for the specific situation, we will have to wait for the envoy to go to the palace to know.

Liang Chu also got the news a little late, and when he heard it, he chuckled and put down the teacup, and smiled: "It's good to be back." ”

As long as it is a living person who comes back, it means that the news is not so bad.

Mu Ling naturally guessed a little: "It must be good news, but although Bai Laiguo's attitude is good this time, it is a little unwise." ”

If there is a concession between countries, it must be the strength of one country that suppresses the other country, and the weak country is seeking refuge.

What the Zhang family did before was too absurd, and Bai Laiguo could accept it so quickly, I have to say that the intention in this is obvious.

It just depends on the specific situation this time.

Liang Chu didn't plan to interfere, as long as it didn't hinder him from sailing, there was no need to care about all this.

After the first lunar month, the Ministry of Rites began to purchase the things needed for the emperor's birthday, and the confectionery shop began to prepare the raw materials for the pastries.

The most eye-catching thing on the birthday is the main birthday cake that Shen Yuruo gave to Shen Qingling, which is to pay special attention to both the style and the shape of the piping.

It had already been said that Shen Yuruo should make this cake, and early this morning, Shen Yuruo went to the candy shop.

Today, the candy shop is closed, and other pastries are made by the dim sum chef in the shop, just a simple and fluffy cream cake, which melts in the mouth and is not greasy, and the taste is very good and not fancy.

On top of that, this cake is relatively simple and can only cope with such a large amount of demand.

"Specially left for you, you can bake three layers of cakes at the same time, I plan to be a six-layer cake, this is the drawings and specific details, today's decoration will be more and more difficult."

Mu Ling gave the prepared drawings to Shen Yuruo.

That's the pattern she designed, combined with the modern multi-layered wedding cake form, with a slight modification.

Shen Yuruo's eyes widened as soon as he got the drawings: "This ...... Is this what I'm going to do today, this ......?"

Is this something that is possible for people to make?

Mu Ling nodded: "Although the project of decorating is a little bigger, it is okay to be cautious." And it's not that hard, I'll be there to help you. ”

"......"

"If you want to do it, you can make it better, although the small cakes sold on weekdays are beautifully shaped, but if you take them at today's dinner, it will inevitably look too small, don't you want to shock the four seats?" Mu Ling raised his eyebrows, "There are envoys from other countries tonight, and if your princess's gift is so shocking, it can impress other countries as well." ”

In a certain sense, this is also a disguised form of propaganda of national strength.

Shen Yuruo felt reasonable when he heard it, and nodded with determination: "Okay!" Do it! ”

No matter how difficult it is, she has to do it well, so that she can give the royal brother a good long face!

Shen Yuruo is already very familiar with the production process of the cake embryo, and the egg whites are naturally sent by special people and used ready-made.

After more than an hour, the embryos of the six layers have been baked.

Mu Ling made the required cream and chocolate models and cooled them for later use, and then turned his head to teach Shen Yuruo to use the mold to emboss the shape of the cake embryo, and the six-layer cake embryo was placed on the prepared shelf, which had begun to take shape.

The various colors of cream were arranged, and Mu Ling pointed to these things and said: "Everything is ready for you, and you can also do it for decoration, you can do it slowly layer by layer." There are still a lot of cake embryos on the left and right, if which layer is not done, change the layer. ”

That is, tell her not to have too much mental pressure.

Shen Yuruo smiled and began to decorate according to the drawings.

In fact, cake decorating is not an easy guy, Shen Yuruo usually makes small cakes when he practices, and masters the skills of how to squeeze out the cream pattern, where is there such a whole big cake to make?

First of all, it didn't take long for Shen Yuruo to feel that his hands were already sore.

"Let's rest for a while, there are still five floors here!" Mu Ling took the chocolate and sugar molds made on the side.

Once the cake has been decorated, you can start with these molds, and then add some fruit and other decorations.

It's still spring, and the temperature is a little low, so it just so happens that the shape of these cakes and cream can be better maintained.

Shen Yuruo refilled the cream and couldn't help sighing: "I only think those things are delicious on weekdays, although many times I also feel that such a small piece is only a few bites, and it is more expensive to sell dozens of taels or hundreds of taels." Now I'm going to do it myself, I really know...... I'm afraid that in the future, I can't help but charge a few hundred gold. ”

"Poof-" Mu Ling couldn't help it, "This kind of price is already reasonable, if you make it more expensive, no one will buy it." ”

"It's true, I don't think we've made money again!"

Shen Yuruo pursed her mouth and continued to start framing the second layer.

Mu Ling watched quietly from the side, and couldn't help but like this little girl more and more.

A six-layer cake requires a lot of effort for a professional pastry chef, let alone a semi-novice like Shen Yuruo, so it naturally takes a lot of time.

It wasn't until the afternoon that a cake was formed.

Mu Ling had already prepared the gift box, and after insisting on the cake, he wrapped it and put it on the delicate cart that had been prepared for a long time, and Shen Yuruo himself escorted it into the palace at that time.

Eating something like this is too dangerous and is the easiest place for people to get their hands on.

What's more, this time the food was sent in from outside the palace, so you have to be more and more careful, if you are not careful, you will be unintentional but let others take advantage of the loophole and make them take the blame, which is really unpleasant.

It is most appropriate to hand over these things to Shen Yuruo.

Shen Yuruo participated in the whole process, even if something went wrong, Shen Qingling would not be severely punished.

The birthday banquet was in the evening, and Shen Yuruo entered the palace an hour in advance to bathe and prepare.

And an hour later, the ministers and nobles began to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

"I forgot, we have to give gifts on people's birthdays." Sitting in the carriage, Mu Ling suddenly remembered this stubble.
