"It's so beautiful." Someone couldn't help but admire.

"yes, it's beautiful." Beautiful things are always women's favorites. Rao is one of those girls who have thoughts about Yuan Tianye, and it is undeniable that Lin Xiaozhu makes this thing beautiful.

"Is it edible to eat the flowers painted on it?" Someone asked again.

Lin Xiaozhu raised his head and smiled slightly: "Back to the girl, this is something you can eat." After speaking, he seemed to see everyone's doubts, and said: "This is called a cake, make it into a big, round one, and have the meaning of reunion." On the birthday, everyone shares together, and it also has the meaning of blessing. He asked Princess Danyang again, "Princess, will you share it for everyone now?" ”

Princess Danyang herself was also greedy, seeing that everyone's eyes were flashing with longing, she looked at the boat over there and was about to speak, but she heard a coquettish voice from behind her: "Peony, go and see if Master Liu has done it well?" When it's ready, quickly ask them to bring it up. ”

Only then did everyone in the water pavilion remember that they only cared about admiring the magic of the cake just now, but forgot about the Duanwangfu competition.

"Wait a minute." Princess Danyang said, and then turned her head and instructed the maid, "Go to the boat over there and ask the horses whether these pastries are freshly made and eaten, or if they are ready to be tasted together." ”

"Yes." The maid answered. After a while, he turned around and said, "Returning to the princess, the concubine said, there is a discussion, and the rules have been changed, thinking that the ranking will be set based on only one pastry, and I am afraid that it will be biased." Now it's changed to one pastry at a time. That is, each family has a dim sum, everyone tastes it at the same time, and after tasting, it will be selected, and one of the two will be selected. In the three-game competition, the winner of two games is the first"

"That's a good idea." Princess Danyang nodded.

And the maid sent by the county lord of Wanhua to inquire about the news also returned. He said: "County Lord, Master Liu said that the first dim sum is ready." ”

"Tell them to bring it." Lord Wanhua said proudly.

Lin Xiaozhu said hello to Princess Danyang. beckoned Ah Sheng and handed the orchid cake down the water pavilion. Cutting cakes is a craft that Ah Sheng has been practicing these days. After a while, he will get on the boat and distribute the cake to everyone. Another Xiao Er held a large plate and chopsticks and followed him to the boat.

And the maid of the Duanwang Mansion also came up with two large trays. There are small plates on the tray, and the plates contain a small rose-colored flower, which is very delicate and beautiful. The maid put the small plates in front of everyone one by one, and said with a smile the name of the dim sum: "Rose Fruit Cake." ”

After the maid finished distributing the rose honey cake, Lin Xiaozhu cut the cake unhurriedly at the signal of Princess Danyang, put it piece by piece into the plate that Yuan Wuniang brought up, and distributed it to everyone. Each cake is also not big. That's what it looks like in two mouthfuls. It's easy to get tired if you eat too much of this thing, but it's not as good as rose fruit honey cake, which is a well-known food, and you can taste it better when you eat it. This is something new. There are also two more bites. in order to eat the taste.

Lin Xiaozhu wanted to seize the opportunity just now, because after the cake was cut out, it lost its original style. At that time, everyone couldn't wait to try the fresh food. I don't have time to pay attention to what it looks like. And once you eat it, under the impact of that delicious taste, only its original beautiful shape and delicious taste remain in your mind, and as for what shape it was before you eat it, you have no impression at all.

But at this time, Rao is her hand is steady. The cut cake is evenly proportioned and put on a plate with the rose fruit honey cake of Duanwangfu. The delicacy of the honey cake brings out the ruins of the cake more and more, and the contrast becomes stronger.

"Ah, hey, how did you get such a beautiful pattern just now?" The girl who liked the blooming roses cried out in pity.

Lin Xiaozhu was very grateful to this girl for giving her a chance to explain, and said with a smile: "Shen Yuan ordered dim sum in our dim sum shop to entertain all distinguished guests. In that pastry, the small cakes are made individually, just as beautiful as when they were not cut. And this one, the emphasis is on everyone sharing friendship together, and the meaning is different. The pattern is not complete, please understand. ”

Although Lin Xiaozhu has this explanation, the shape of the cake is not as good as the honey cake, which is obvious. The county lord of Wanhua felt that Bei'er had face, and said with a smile: "Come, let's try the craftsmanship of our chef." After speaking, he took the lead in picking up the honey cake and eating it.

The rose fruit cake was made so small that the girls had a bite to eat, even if they had cherry mouths. It is made of walnut kernels, pine nuts, dried green plums, orange red, etc., added to glutinous rice flour, red yeast rice flour and white sugar steamed, the entrance is sweet and glutinous, with the crisp taste and fragrance of walnuts and pine nuts, coupled with the unique slightly sour taste of dried green plums and oranges, the layering is very rich, the taste of sour and sweet, glutinous and crisp taste, these two opposite feelings, but organically fused together, complement each other, and fuse into a very wonderful taste.

This rose fruit honey cake, because of its beautiful shape and festive color, has always been a fixed cake when Beiyan makes a wedding banquet. But the chef of Duanwangfu made an article on this pastry: glutinous rice flour is very fine, the ratio of glutinous rice flour to red yeast rice flour, walnut kernels, pine nut kernels, dried green plums, and orange red are all used just right, and if you add one point or subtract one point, the taste will not be as good as this. This is a very skillful and special dim sum, that is, everyone usually eats a lot, and they can't help but praise it.

The county lord of Wanhua swallowed the honey cake, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain, and said a word to her maidservant, and the maidservant took a honey cake and put it in front of Lin Xiaozhu: "This girl, this is the reward that our county lord rewards you." Why don't you try our sweets? ”

Rose Fruit Honey Cake was taught by Yu Jiaoxi, and Lin Xiaozhu can also make it. I just don't know where this dim sum is so good. She regretted that she didn't have to eat, and the ill-intentioned actions of the county lord Wanhua at this time were in line with her wishes. At that moment, without a trace of annoyance, he blessed the county lord of Wanhua with a blessing and thanked him, and then took the honey cake and tasted it. After eating, he nodded secretly. This dim sum is really from the hands of the imperial chef, and it is really good.

Princess Danyang has always been close to King Rui and is a loyal member of King Rui's party. The news that Yuan Tianye was poisoned and did not die, but she did not know. But she always has an inexplicable good impression of Yuan Tianye; Yuan Tianye is also willing to be close to the two of them, and often goes to recuperate her body, and the relationship between the two parties is very good. So two days ago, when Yuan Tianye went to the princess's mansion and asked her to take care of Lin Xiaozhu and ask the concubine to administer justice for this competition, she was obsessed with Lin Xiaozhu. When we met today, I have been observing her.

At this time, seeing that the expression in her eyes was not jealousy, but sincere admiration, Princess Danyang nodded slightly, and her good impression of Lin Xiaozhu increased by two points. Seeing that such a performance shows that this Lin Xiaozhu girl is broad-minded and has a very positive heart. And this is exactly what the lord of Wanhua, who was born in the royal family, does not have.

Princess Danyang saw that everyone had finished eating the honey cake, so she smiled and said, "Come, let's try the dim sum on Doctor Yuan's house." He took the plate and ate it. As soon as the cake entered her mouth, she was slightly stunned like Qin Qingman that day, and then her eyes lit up, and the soft and sweet cream instantly conquered her.

"Oh my God, how is this done? It's delicious. Someone couldn't help but scream. The others who hadn't had time to taste it heard the cry and quickly picked up the cake and tasted it.

Lin Xiaozhu was slightly regretful. She chilled the cream in an ice bucket, and if she had eaten it as soon as it was ready, it would have tasted better than it had now. Right now...... It's a pity!

When I tasted the rose fruit cake just now, everyone had time to say a few words and comment on the deliciousness of the dim sum. At this time, the water pavilion was silent—it was not that everyone was afraid that Lord Wanhua would be unhappy and didn't dare to speak. Instead, his mouth was occupied by delicious food, and he had no time to speak. And the cake is exactly two bites, no more, no less, and the proportion of cream on top is just right. This not only makes everyone unsatisfied, but also does not make it like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and he has a stomach before he tastes it.

Lin Xiaozhu looked at the expressions of amazement and enjoyment on everyone's faces, and his hanging heart relaxed. The rose honey cake was so well done that she was worried that she would lose it. Now it seems that the charm of the cream is still good, and this snack is really novel, completely different from the snacks that the ladies are used to. In this regard, it must have a great advantage.

"Alright, let's vote." Princess Danyang didn't wait for everyone to react from the deliciousness, so she stood up and asked everyone to vote. With the cream in their mouths, everyone will vote on instinct rather than on the stakes.

A servant woman had already brought up a few cases and put them aside in the water pavilion. In several cases, there was already a bucket as described by the colt; Next to it are some small pieces of paper and the four treasures of the study. Princess Danyang walked there, wrote the name of the snack, and threw it in. After throwing in, she didn't return to her seat, but stood a meter away from the cases, and said, "The people who voted went to write the cases, and the others waited here." ”

When the county lord of Wanhua proposed this competition, he naturally felt that he had the chance to win - not to mention that the kung fu of the imperial chef was incomparable to Lin Xiaozhu, just that she and her brother sat here, and everyone would not dare not give the face of the Duanwang Mansion; Before you even taste the dim sum, the popularity will be one-sided. So the purpose of this competition is just to humiliate Yuan Tianye.

But I don't want today's game to be completely out of control!

She never expected that Princess Danyang, who was sick in bed a few days ago, would appear at the banquet refreshed. And the colt also came up with such a completely fair game rule.
