The majestic Liang Palace is separated from the palace and the outside of the palace with a vermilion wall. People on the outside can't get in, and people on the inside can't get out. Freedom is so precious to the people in the palace. Just like Princess Qingyuan, who is now dressed as a eunuch, stepped out of the idea of Liang Palace.

She took a deep breath, then spread her arms and stretched wide.

"Ahh The air is so fresh! ”

"Princess! Be quiet, we'd better hurry up and don't linger at the door. "Princess Qingyuan's personal palace maid is called Chu Tao, and there is a pair of mud nests on her round face, but now she is full of worries. It was the first time she did such a bold thing with the princess, and her palms were sweaty. She nervously stuck behind Princess Qingyuan, secretly glancing at the guards at the palace gate.

Qing Yuan laughed, pulled Chu Tao and swaggered away, and said as he walked: "You stupid Chu Tao, I told you, don't call me a princess." Call me Miss. ”

Chu Tao was used to being scolded by the princess, and felt that it was nothing to be scolded stupidly. As she walked forward, "Okay, okay, I know the princess, ah, no, miss." ”

"By the way, is the carriage you were told to hire be done? Also, I don't want to go out in a eunuch costume and change clothes? ”

"Princess, no, miss, ahead, here it is." Chu Tao is used to being a princess, and she can't change her mouth three or five times. Qing Yuan's pair of beautiful women frowned slightly, and Chu Tao Ke was even more nervous.

Soon, however, I saw a magnificent black-canopy carriage parked on the side of the road. The coachman recognized Hatsu Tao and hurriedly came up to greet him.

"Hey, that's good. Chu Tao also has a time when he can do it. When the time comes, when Chu Tao grows up, he will marry you with a handsome boy. Qing Yuan smiled and joked about Chu Tao, and without saying much, he jumped into the carriage. The car is very spacious, and there is a soft collapse and a small table inside, which is very comfortable.

Chu Tao was teased by Princess Qingyuan like this, Xiao Yuan's face turned red, and she got into the carriage with a twist.

The carriage then started. Qingyuan didn't expect to slip out so smoothly, so she went to all the places she wanted to go to, and ate all the food she wanted! What kind of tea shortbread in Huayue Pavilion, roast duck in Furong Zhai, and Yulu wine in the drunken Red Mansion, none of them can fall. It's better to do what you say. The coachman quickly sent them to their first destination, the Flower Moon Pavilion.

As soon as Qing Yuan and Chu Tao came out of the carriage, the coachman was dumbfounded. The original two skinny little eunuchs have become two girls who are like flowers and jade. The coachman froze and rubbed his eyes. I'm afraid that I'm wrong, and I'm afraid that I'm not good at remembering.

Qing Yuan didn't care about the coachman standing on the side, and shouted: "Chu Tao, let's go." Then he jumped into the Flower Moon Pavilion.

Before I even entered the door, an enticing smell of shortbread came. And there was a long queue at the door. There are old and young, men and women. Qing Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Hatsu Tao, what's going on? What do they do one after the other, don't they go in and eat? "Qingyuan, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, has always stretched out his hand for clothes and opened his mouth for food. Whatever she wanted, the palace maids and eunuchs sent it to her. Where have I ever seen such a battle?

Hatsu Tao explained: "Miss, this is called queuing. In the folk, things should be bought in order, one by one. ”

Qing Yuan nodded, with a clear look: "Oh! It should be on a first-come, first-served basis, reasonable and reasonable. Let's go to the queue too! ”

Qing Yuan, who came out of the palace, was curious about everything he saw. Even this boring queue for ordinary people is very interesting to her. happily pulled the first peach and began to line up. While lining up, I discussed with Chu Tao what this tea shortbread looks like. But the filling made of tea inside? Chu Tao shook his head, thinking to himself that if he used tea to make the filling, it would not be bitter, how could it be delicious.

The two of them said a word to me, and the people in front of and behind them looked at them with strange eyes. But they didn't notice it, and they didn't really care. Just smell the aroma of shortbread, which makes people salivate.

Finally, they were lined up. The shortbread shop was bustling. The oven is inside, and a middle-aged uncle is on the counter, pulling out a small ball from the kneaded dough and kneading it into a circle. Use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of stuffing that I don't know what to make and wrap it inside. Then use a rolling pin to grind into a cake.

The preliminarily prepared cakes were placed on a boxy metal plate on the side, one by one, neatly stacked, without touching each other.

A middle-aged aunt on the side brushed the oil on the cake that had not yet been put into the oven, and sprinkled black sesame seeds evenly on it. Finally, the metal plate was attached and brought into the stove at the back.

He poked through the stove and brought out a plate of baked shortbread. Suddenly, the rich aroma of baked noodles and sesame seeds came to my nose with the steaming heat.

It was the first time Qing Yuan had witnessed the process of making this shortbread, which made her feel very novel. The smell of shortbread makes your mouth water.

"Hey, you two, do you want to buy it or not?" The aunt standing in front of them crossed her waist and asked impatiently.

The man in line behind Qing Yuan also said unhappily: "That's it, if you don't buy it, leave quickly, the people behind us can wait." ”

Qingyuan has been queuing for so long, and seeing such tempting tea shortbread, how can he not buy it.

"Of course I want to buy it, I want ten!"

"Miss, isn't ten too many?" Chu Tao hurriedly reminded beside him.

"No more, no less, it's a big deal to bring it back for everyone to taste." Princess Qingyuan has always been used to squandering and doesn't care much. And she plans to bring a few copies for the queen mother to taste.

The aunt quickly packed eight shortbreads. The other two were wrapped in paper and handed directly to Qing Yuan. "My tea shortbread, it's best to eat it while it's hot, it's fragrant while it's hot!"

Qing Yuan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and took it expectantly. The fragrant tea shortbread is still steaming, and the skin is a beautiful burnt yellow color, which will break when touched. Qing Yuan and Chu Tao each took one, and they were extremely careful.

The aunt watched with a smile on the side and urged, "Eat quickly." How about a taste? ”

Qing Yuan followed his words and took a bite. The puff pastry on the surface is easily crushed, and the filling mixed with lard on the inside immediately brings out a layer of meaty deliciousness. Mixed with the soft skin and chewed together, I savored a faint taste of green tea, which just covered the greasy taste of the lard. Qing Yuan's eyes bloomed with color, and his eyebrows danced.

"It was so delicious! Better than the dim sum in the palace! Qing Yuan couldn't help but admire, and accidentally slipped his mouth. When Chu Tao heard the princess talk about the palace, she immediately became nervous, but fortunately, the people around her thought that Qing Yuan was just an exaggeration.

At this time, the busy uncle listened to everyone's discussion, and also raised his head: "The dim sum in the palace, make it, and then serve it in front of the masters, it will already be cold." How can there be freshness from the oven here, and it is still hot. This is called 'pot gas'. If this 'pot gas' is gone, whether it is a dish or a snack, it will have no soul. It's sure it doesn't taste much better. ”
