Chapter Forty-Nine: Fresh Meat Mooncakes

Bai Tang has been doing well recently. The listing of Lanxue Tea has caused a shock in the tea industry, and celebrities in the city are all proud to drink Lanxue. The beautiful words and the recitation of poems continue. He also finally got the first large amount of money in return.

30,000 taels of silver, how much azusa can you buy! As long as Xu Qiu'an is dealt with and a big warehouse is found, what is 30,000 taels of silver?! 300,000 taels are also captured!

In front of Bai Tang, a special large plan was neatly laid out with several carved plates.

A carved plate in his hand was engraved with large bamboo leaves. Blowing off the sawdust, carefully closing the corner of the engraving on the case, picking up another engraving and looking at it for a while, making up a few knives, and contrasting it with the silk brocade bamboo painting that he put together under the carving. Position, size, stroke, artistic conception, there is no slightest difference.

Fortunately, this bamboo painting is not large, and the whole painting is mainly red. The dark red is the leaf surface, the light red is the leaf back, plus the branches, he only divided a total of five plates, which is a piece of cake for him who is used to doing big projects in his previous life.

A little more troublesome are the various signatures and seals on silk.

It doesn't matter, just like the painting, the handwriting and seal are engraved on the engraving respectively, and it will be difficult to argue whether it is true or false when the time comes!

Didn't Xu Qiu'an ask for Wen Tong's authenticity?

Bai Tang smiled smugly: the real work has been destroyed, and the painting imitated by the woodblock watermark is the real work!

Su Shi stretched his neck outside the study for a long time, but he couldn't hear the big movement in the room, and couldn't help sighing: I'm desperate again!

She walked to the kitchen and saw that Bai Lan was still studying the craft of mooncakes. couldn't help but smile comfortably: The girl's family should be like Bai Lan, learn good cooking skills, and in the future, she will have a good advantage in her mother-in-law's family.

Bai Lan didn't notice her mother's attention at all, but only thought that her eldest brother had said that it was recorded in the book that someone could make snowy skin mooncakes, crystal mooncakes, and soft salty and sweet flavor of flowing egg yolk mooncakes!

Last time, if the eldest brother hadn't insisted on kneading the pie crust harder, he wouldn't have been exposed again and again when pressing. In the end, she could only make solid moon cakes and bluff people, and every time she thought about it, she blushed. So in recent days, she has tried to make a few pie crusts, which are soft and moderate, coated in filling and molded, and never leaked again.

The eldest brother also said that fresh meat mooncakes also have a unique flavor. It is a dough to make a thousand layers of crisp, which takes a lot of effort, one layer of crust and one layer of lard, and knead until the tendons are raised. Bai Lan tried it a few times, and her hands were about to break, and finally made the perfect puff pastry. Wrap the marinated meat and put it in the oven. Half an hour later, the smell of salty meat wafted inside and outside the courtyard.

Even Bai Tang was shocked. He put down the work he was doing, sniffed the familiar fragrance and found the kitchen, and called out excitedly to Bai Lan: "Quick, come out of the oven." Smell this fragrance, it should be almost roasted! ”

The oven of the Ming Dynasty was actually a clay fireplace, which was more similar to a kiln for firing porcelain. The fire is full of power, and when it comes out of the oven a little later, the surface of the fresh meat mooncake will be scorched.

Bai Tang didn't care about the heat, he held his hand in his palm and puffed for a long time, took a bite, closed his eyes, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Bai Lan asked in an uneasy whisper, "Brother, isn't it delicious?" ”

As if it was an illusion, Bai Lan felt that the corners of her brother's eyes were a little red. Just when he was puzzled, Bai Tang had already cracked his mouth and smiled: "How can the dim sum made by Bai Lan be delicious?" ”

You can't blame him for being distracted instantly. Who makes this taste the taste of hometown?

Fresh meat mooncakes, also known as Suzhou-style mooncakes, originated in Suzhou as the name suggests.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Bake another stove, and ask the whole steward to help me send it to Lord Qin's mansion." ”

Bai Lan smiled slightly, and said busily: "Business has been so good recently, how can the whole manager and the little guy in the shop have time to run errands!" Why don't I send it? ”

Bai Tang didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

Bai Tang took out a few more months of cakes and went back to the study happily.

Now the conditions of the family are much better, the family has a comfortable carriage and a coachman. Bai Lan took the freshly baked moon cakes and sent them to Qin Xuan's house while they were hot.

She looked up with a food box and saw the gate guarded by Shishi in Qinfu, and her heart jumped suddenly: It is worthy of being an official eunuch! What a solemn momentum.

She was not timid, she greeted Fu Ding with a smile and asked: "This eldest brother, I am the sister of Lian Baitang in the east of the city, and my brother asked me to bring some food to Qin Gongzi." ”

The girl who practices Baitang!

How dare Fu Ding underestimate this family? The steward who committed the crime last time has been sent back to the old mansion by the adults!

Immediately, a person bowed down with a smile and said, "Miss Lian, please ask the porter to sit for a while, and the steward will come." ”

Bai Lan originally planned to hand over the things and leave, but she didn't expect to be politely arched into the gatehouse to drink tea. When she was in a daze, a girl who looked like a maid came after a while, and saluted her with a smile on her face: "Poria has seen Miss Lian." ”

Bai Lan panicked slightly, and hurriedly got up and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite. ”

Poria was grateful to Lian Baitang for her rescue, and was also very polite to her benefactor's sister: "My young master happens to be absent." Miss was very happy to taste the fresh meat mooncakes you sent, and specially called me over to tell you. The taste of this mooncake is excellent, and it is two points better than what our family makes. You and Lian Gongzi have a heart! ”

Bai Lan said embarrassedly: "Miss likes it." ”

Poria smiled again and asked, "Miss also asked me to ask, is this mooncake made by yourself at home?" ”

"My brother instructed me to do it. The first time, please forgive me if you don't do well. Bai Lan felt a little strange in her heart, and the eldest brother's taste began to become sweeter at some point. Before, he was more salty.

Poria couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lian Gongzi has not been to Suzhou?" ”

Bai Lan shook her head: "My brother and I have never been out of Nanjing City." ”

Poria was secretly surprised, and then thought as a matter of course: It was probably the master who practiced Baitang who taught him!

She also presented a food box and said with a smile: "It's rare that Brother Ling likes Suzhou's dim sum." This is what the cook at home does. Please also ask the lady not to go outside. ”

Bai Lan also accepted it with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Poria personally sent Bai Lan out, and watched her get in the car and leave before turning around.

"Miss."

The girl under the warm curtain looks like a fairy, she has been conditioning in the hot spring Zhuangzi for half a month, and the scabies are gone, and there is a hot spring water to wash and wash the cream, Qin Wu has already recovered her former snowy appearance.

Now that he has recovered, it is inconvenient for him to live in Wei Guogong's Zhuangzi for a long time. A few days ago, she returned to the Qin Mansion with her servants.

Poria said funny and angry: "My young lady, why did you eat so much?" Don't be afraid to choke! "Pour her a cup of tea," I was tired of eating. ”

Qin Wu said dissatisfiedly: "But I only ate two." ”

"By the way, Miss Lian Jia said, this fresh meat moon cake is a recipe given by Gongzi Lian. It's the first time Miss Lian has done it. ”

Qin Wu'e raised her eyebrows lightly, and said in surprise: "Can you make it so delicious the first time?" ”

Poria smiled disapprovingly: "Everyone has their own strengths. Maybe that Miss Lian might be good at making dim sum! ”

Qin Wu nodded, if this is the case, it is unexpected.

She married in Nanjing City, and she was not familiar with the place. Although he has a dowry, he always has to find some shops to do some business.

Nanjing snacks are everywhere, but there is a lack of pastries. It just so happens that Soviet-style dim sum is famous all over the world. Therefore, she had already thought about opening a pastry shop in Nanjing after marriage.

I had already started looking for a suitable candidate, and it just so happened that Bai Lan's fresh meat mooncakes were delivered to her.

Lian Baitang has a life-saving grace for her, and she can't repay it. As long as Bai Lan is willing, she is willing to ask her to open a shop together, so that she can get a little profit. so that she can get a rich dowry, and she can also find a good family in the future. This can be regarded as practicing some kindness from Baitang!
