Chapter 621: Satisfaction (Addition)
There are as many as four layers of thin cake, the top is cream with matcha powder, and then the cake, and below the cake is a layer of peeled red bean paste...... The taste is particularly delicate, the two flavors of red bean and matcha are combined just right, light and a little thick, and not very sweet and greasy.
It just so happened that Mrs. Wang didn't like sweets very much on weekdays, and this snack was just right for her taste. A piece of cake is not big, she ate it all in a few bites, and she can't get enough of it!
Mrs. Liang of Zuo Zongzheng's family was attracted by the brightly colored and eye-catching "banana pudding cake". She loves the cream cake in Yu Ji pastry shop very much, but she will feel a little tired after eating too much cream. The top layer of the banana pudding cake is replaced by a bright yellow pudding, and it is served with pickled green grapes and red cherries.
After the entrance, the pudding is very tender and smooth, the fragrance of bananas is soaked in it, novel and delicious, plus the cake has a dense taste, more delicate than the one bought in the store, after eating this cake, Mrs. Liang's first thought is: If you can buy such a cake in Yu Ji, how good it would be! Even if it's sold in limited quantities, there's always a time to grab it.
Mrs. Du Yushi, who loves to eat fruits, first picked up the fork and aimed it at the fruit tart. This fruit tart, which is made up of eight ingredients, including red grapes, strawberries, oranges, green apples, red apples, watermelons, melons and cherry tomatoes, has a fluffy base and vanilla-flavored cream that melts in your mouth.
In ancient times, the technology of preserving fruits was not mature enough, and those who could get such a complete set of fruits in the winter were left behind. In order to be able to eat fresh fruits in winter, Xiaocao built a huge cellar on the Zhuangzi of Zhu Junyang on the outskirts of Beijing.
In autumn, when the fruit comes down, ice is used around the cellar to create the effect of cold storage, and the fruit is stored in it for a long time without spoiling. Coupled with the freshness effect of Lingshi water, the stored fruits will still be fresh after eating for a winter.
Coupled with the strawberries, cherry tomatoes, watermelons and melons grown in the greenhouses, there is no second home in the capital that is so rich in both types and quantities of fruits. Even the Imperial Palace can't eat such fresh fruits!
While eating, Mrs. Du Yushi smiled and asked tentatively: "These fruits taste very fresh, can Miss Yu still make the fruit trees bear fruit in winter?" ”
Since the "cold storage" was built on his son's Zhuangzi, Jingwangfu must have never lacked fruits. Princess Jing chuckled and said, "Xiaocao's girl, and she is not a fairy in charge of the season, how can it be so magical?" These fruits were stored little by little like a little squirrel in the fall. In order to toss this ice storehouse, she has worked a lot. Fruits are the most delicate, the temperature is too low, easy to frostbite, and the temperature is high, and it is easy to rot. The little girl tried many times to find the best temperature to preserve the fruit! ”
After Mrs. Du Yushi finished eating the small fruit tart, she gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Miss Yu is really capable!" Princess, you have such good skin, you must have eaten a lot of fruit this winter, right? ”
"Don't say it! That girl is the most filial, even if she is not in the capital, she has not forgotten to tell the people on Zhuangzi to send a basket every three or five days. Princess Jing's tone was not without showing off, of course, not to show off that she eats fruit every day, but to show off her son's good vision and find her a filial and considerate daughter-in-law.
Several ladies glanced at each other, and they no longer dared to despise the little girl of the Yu family, and echoed Princess Jing's words.
Mrs. Du Yushi's temper is very similar to that of her husband, she speaks upright and does not pay attention to skills, and she said with a little envy when she heard the words: "The princess is indeed very blessed!" However, if Miss Yu's method of preserving fruits can be made public, so that more people in Beijing can eat fresh fruits like you, Princess, it will not be a merit! ”
The other ladies gave her a meaningful look, not without disdain in their hearts. If you want to find out the method of storing fruits from Miss Yu, isn't this cutting off people's money? If there are fresh fruits to sell when it snows in Beijing, business will definitely be as hot as greenhouse vegetables. With money, who wouldn't earn it themselves? If the method is made public, whose money will people make?
Princess Jing ate another piece of fruit tart, and only after Mei Xiang's reminder had to stop eating the pastry in moderation. Hearing this, she didn't think much about it, just smiled slightly, and said, "Xiaocao, that girl, this is the first time to toss this this year." According to herself, the technology is not very mature. It is estimated that this storage method will be published in the autumn of next year. ”
Seeing that the faces of the other ladies were slightly abnormal, she smiled again, took a sip of sweet and elegant tea, and said softly: "You must think that the little girl tossed this, just like the vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, in order to make money, right?" Then you guys are like wrong! She's mainly there to satisfy her appetites. He also said that sitting on the hot kang during the New Year, missing cold and crisp fruits, is a big regret in life! I didn't plan to make money with this! ”
When Mrs. Du Yushi heard this, the smile on her face became a little sincere, and she asked eagerly, "That...... Does it mean that next year, we can send people to Zhuangzi to learn how to preserve fruits? ”
"Not bad! This lord, this concubine can still help her do it!! This winter, you have to store more ice, so that you don't have to give our grass money and buy ice from her! "Regarding the fruit storage method, Xiaocao has already mentioned this matter in front of Princess Jing. Princess Jing also did a favor and finalized the matter.
Several ladies had a plan in their hearts, and they had a good word for Princess Jing, and by the way, they praised the grass as a flower. A few people chatted and enjoyed the snow, while tasting unique and delicious pastries, and unconsciously ate all the boxes of pastries, and when it was time to say goodbye, they found that they had accidentally eaten too much. For the noble ladies who have always been restrained in their appetites, their faces can't help but feel a little confused.
Princess Jing had a natural expression. The craftsmanship of the little girl, even she, who often tastes it, can't resist, let alone others?
When the ladies left, Princess Jing asked the family to send a box of pastries as a return gift. Gifts don't need to be expensive, as long as they can satisfy the other party, it's enough! Looking at the satisfied expressions of several ladies carrying wooden boxes with their own hands, Princess Jing liked Xiaocao, an empathetic little girl, a little more.
After the guests left, she opened the box containing the chocolates and took out a black and round "candy" with a strong fragrance.
Mei Xiang saw it on the side, and said hesitantly: "Niangniang, you have already eaten two pieces of dim sum today...... Be careful that you don't have an appetite for dinner at night. ”
"I want you to talk more!" Princess Jing carefully looked at the black "candy" in her hand, which was not amazing, and glanced at her and said, "How big can a small candy take up a belly?" Besides, if you don't eat dinner, it won't make any difference! ”
As soon as Zhu Junyang, who had sent away his future brother-in-law, entered the door, he heard a sentence from his mother and said busily: "Mother, if my father knows that the reason why you don't eat dinner is because of these pastries and candies, I'm afraid you won't want to eat the snacks sent by the little girl in the future!" ”
"Got it! I'm not a prisoner in prison, and everyone controls me so strictly! Princess Jing snorted a little angrily, and continued, "I'll only taste one of this 'candy', okay?" ”
"Mother, this is called 'chocolate', which is made from cocoa beans brought back from the West and processed through a complicated process. You taste it to your taste, if you like it, let Xiaocao help you make it often in the future. Zhu Junyang saw that his mother was a little displeased, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"This raw material is rare, and it is troublesome to do, and the things under the hands of Xiaocao are not easy. Good stuff, just eat fresh once in a while! Princess Jing also felt sorry for the little girl who was too busy to see anyone, she just came back from the bitter cold outside the pass a few days ago.
Yang'er is really right, go to raise a horse outside the gate, and also pull the little girl together. He is like a delicate little girl like him, with thick skin and rough flesh, and can withstand the wind and sand and cold wind outside the gate! A few days ago, the little girl came to the house to greet her, and she looked thin, pitiful, thin, like willow branches.
Now, my son said that let the little girl do the complicated process for her! I don't know how to be considerate, if the daughter-in-law flies away, see where he is crying!!
"Mother, if Xiaocao knew that you felt so sorry for her, she would definitely be very moved!" Zhu Junyang sat down next to his mother and gently helped her squeeze her shoulders.
"My future daughter-in-law, who does she hurt if she doesn't care? Besides, the little girl is also a cute person, no matter what she does, she thinks about me, the future mother-in-law. A few days ago, the ferret fur cloak that was sent over, the color was pure! Princess Duan saw me wearing it once, and her envious little eyes were happy to think about it! "Princess Jing is not without pride. Princess Duan relied on herself to give birth to the emperor, and she wanted to suppress these concubines everywhere, although Princess Jing had an indisputable temperament, she still felt a little unhappy in her heart.
What if you are the emperor's wife? is a tribute in the palace, and it is not as high as the fur grade of her future daughter-in-law's filial piety! You are the emperor's mother, can you eat these snacks and candies made by the little girl herself?
Thinking so, his expression showed a little smugness. Princess Jing put the chocolate in her mouth, and her tongue gently rolled the round one. The chocolate gradually melts in the mouth, and the unique aroma of cocoa overflows between the teeth, and the rich and delicate and silky taste teases the taste buds between the lips and teeth, which is a new taste feast.
