Chapter Two Hundred and Two: Autumn Fragrance
The prefect's protection of them was quietly concealed. Ye Tiantian didn't take this matter too seriously, recently she had a new idea for the dishes of the Zuixiang Pavilion, as long as it was implemented properly, it would definitely cause another wave of craze.
Around the end of the birthday festival is the day of the modern national day, osmanthus is a good time to bloom, Ye Tiantian took Ye Xiaozhou and Yaya to cut new clothes, Ye Tiantian just wanted to find a reason to make new clothes for the two of them, and fortunately used the reason for the end of the birthday festival.
"Since it is the occasion of the golden cinnamon, these two pieces of turquoise cloth will be used to make new clothes for the two of you." Ye Tiantian chose two satins of very good color, and the shopkeeper of the tailor's shop had long recognized this young but generous master, and hurriedly served them intimately.
After measuring the figures of the two little girls, the shopkeeper asked Ye Tiantian: "Miss Ye, I don't know if you will make new clothes for yourself this time, recently we have a lot of new fabrics in the store, I think Miss Ye has bought so many new clothes for her two younger sisters, and it is good to buy another one for herself." The shopkeeper's words are clever, which is exactly the routine of businessmen.
Ye Tiantian thought that he still had more clothes, so he excused himself.
"Sister, I see that you seem to be getting something in the kitchen recently, do you have any new ideas?" After sending Yaya home, Ye Xiaozhou asked his sister on the way.
Ye Tiantian is preparing for a big event recently, what she has to do is to launch a new product in every festival, so that there is a publicity gimmick, and things can sell better.
"The Chung Yeung Festival is coming, and it's time for Zuixiang Pavilion to launch new products, and I've been worrying about this matter recently, but now I have some ideas, maybe I can make Zuixiang Pavilion's business go to the next level during the Chung Yeung Festival." Ye Tian Tian revealed a little.
Ye Xiaozhou heard that there was something delicious again, and his mind suddenly became lively: "Sister, when something is made, I will be the first person to eat it." ”
"Okay, when did I make something new that wasn't the first one for you to eat? Little gluttonous cat. Ye Tiantian scratched Ye Xiaozhou's nose, his sister, is there any other way besides spoiling?
Ye Tiantian did exactly what he had in the Mid-Autumn Festival - the chrysanthemum feast.
However, the modern chrysanthemum banquet is divided into cold and hot dishes, and the chrysanthemum banquet is regarded as the first set meal of the Zuixiang Pavilion, but now she has to consider the selected new dishes.
It is necessary not only to set off the beautiful scenery of this autumn, but also to use this chrysanthemum as an embellishment.
Ye Xiaozhou went back to the prefect's house from Zhongjitang today, and saw his sister and godmother fluttering at the osmanthus tree in the yard, as if they were collecting petals.
"Sister, godmother, what are you doing here?" The aroma of osmanthus is already strong, and it is beaten all over the yard like this, which is really a bit fragrant.
When Mrs. Tian saw Ye Xiaozhou coming back, she hurriedly pulled Xiaozhou and said, "Your sister said that she was going to make osmanthus brewing, I was really curious, and I finally followed her out to collect these osmanthus petals. ”
Ye Tiantian put the collected osmanthus flowers in a pot to boil, and asked the servants in the house to buy a few jars of rice wine from the outside, saying that they would bury the wine under the osmanthus tree and wait until the Double Ninth Festival to take it.
Wash the prepared glutinous rice first, it is necessary to make this osmanthus stuffed glutinous rice, after all, osmanthus stuffed rice is also a kind of rice wine, put the glutinous rice in the steamer and steam it until it is eight ripe, and put the steamed glutinous rice loose in a bowl to dry it for a while, and wait until the temperature of the glutinous rice can make your hands completely touch, add water to the rice. There was no such thing as koji in this dynasty, so Ye Tiantian replaced koji with rice wine, and then put the osmanthus in the bowl, dug a small hole in the middle, and then sealed it and waited for the glutinous rice to ferment.
In addition to making osmanthus stuffing, Ye Tiantian is also collecting chrysanthemums everywhere, to say that Ye Tiantian wants to make a few dishes, or inseparable from the shadow of Sichuan cuisine, so the first dish is the flower white jade chicken slices, this dish is not very famous in Sichuan cuisine, but there is not only the shadow of chrysanthemums, but also the taste of the locals, so Ye Tiantian chose this dish.
The atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival is gradually heating up, and now there is still more than a month before the Double Ninth Festival, and the osmanthus stuffed can be drunk at that time. Ye Tiantian found the chrysanthemums that were waiting to be put in bud, and all of them were transplanted in the drunken incense pavilion and the ground outside the house, and the one-month shelf life was indeed a little unrealistic, so it was better to transplant some at hand.
First take a chicken and put it in the pot to boil slowly, the so-called broth, not only to the ingredients fresh, but also to match properly, Ye Tiantian also added a lot of mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum and mushrooms. It takes three hours to boil this pot of soup, the first one needs to be cooked on high heat, and the last hour is to be simmered.
In addition to making white jade chicken slices with flowers, Ye Tiantian also prepared several other dishes, one is chrysanthemum porridge, one is custard chrysanthemum-shaped shrimp, and another is chrysanthemum crab fat.
Chrysanthemums are used as the main seasoning, with the idea of chrysanthemum banquet, there are spring peach blossoms, summer green lotus, winter ice and snow this banquet with the theme of the four seasons, in this way, the business mode of Zuixianglou can naturally become a system, as long as the structure is established, Zuixianglou can continue to open even if there is no chef of its own.
This month's time, Ye Tiantian is busy to spend, she is extremely satisfied with her current state, there are goals to work hard, there is money to make, and there are family and friends by her side, before preparing the chrysanthemum banquet, Ye Tiantian specially found two cooks, specifically responsible for the chrysanthemum banquet, and now there are six cooks in Zuixiang Pavilion, and it is more than enough to run her small restaurant. However, the chrysanthemum banquet is a battle for fame, and she must prepare carefully.
After all, knowing the emperor's traces, even if he can't meet the emperor in person, at least he can ensure the emperor's safety.
However, he was worried about the emperor's safety, not because he was afraid that the emperor would check his political achievements, but because he didn't want to return to the capital, so he was able to stay in Quzhou, which is not only beautiful but also a place where people live and work in peace and contentment. The prefect never thought that Quzhou could use such an appearance now, which was inseparable from his own efforts.
"The prefect of Quzhou is doing really well, and the results after our secret visit are all about the same, and we must have put a lot of effort into governance." The emperor used this way of private visits to investigate corruption, which is also a more effective method, as long as this place is carefully governed, it will be appreciated by the emperor, and it is not a big deal to be an official in the court.
Nan Anbai seemed to remember something, and said to the emperor: "Son, the wife of this Quzhou prefect seems to be from the Li family. ”
