When Master Su left home, he was still a gangster who didn't learn or know how to do it, and after returning home, he turned into a wealthy businessman, Master Su, in addition to helping his friends back then, the more important thing was to make new friends who matched his identity.

"Su Erzhen is really, tsk...... After returning home, everyone is rich! The gangster who was called for questioning sighed, "There is Master Zhai, who specializes in making vegetarian food for nobles, Master Zhou, who runs the silk business, and the owner of Linliuzhuang...... They are all nobles who we may not be able to reach even if we hold our feet in the past few days! ”

Although he doesn't know these nobles, he also knows that he is not short of money! Wei Fu nodded, and asked the gangsters again: "How did those nobles get acquainted with Master Su?" What do you do in the past day? ”

The thug scratched the back of his head and said, "Su Ri just feasted together, drank tea and ate something, they are all old, and they can't run out like young people to play horses, polo or something, if they fall and flash their waists or something, it won't be good." ”

This is reasonable, Wei Fu said "um", and said to the gangsters: "You report the names of these masters, what they do at home, and all the knowledge of the origin and the like to me, the more carefully the better!" ”

The gangster naturally didn't have a reason not to nod, and didn't forget to ask Wei Fu before he spoke: "How many masters have left in the past two years, can this deceased person still need to report?" ”

"Gone?" Wei Fu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted for a while.

The thug nodded and said, "Yes! These old men are old, and some of them are gone! ”

After saying this, before Wei Fu could speak, Lin Fei, who had never spoken out on the side, suddenly said at this time: "You said these old men are gone?" ”

The gangster glanced at Wei Fu and Lin Fei a little uncertainly, what happened to these two adults? Is it strange that people are old and gone? Especially this Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how old is it, and this ear is not very good?

Although he was slandered in his heart, he didn't know why he always felt a little worried about seeing him, so he nodded honestly and said, "Yes, let's go!" ”

This time it was not Wei Fu who asked aloud, but Lin Fei, he didn't know if he thought of something, and after being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said to the gangsters: "The situation of these old men who left needs to be written in detail. ”

Although the gangster didn't understand why Lin Fei asked for this, he still nodded honestly.

……

A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the Chongyang Festival on September 9, but there is no festive atmosphere in the whole Dali Temple.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the old people in Dali Temple led by Zhao Mengzhuo, the secretary of Dali Temple, consciously "do not get old" and do not celebrate the festival, but it is even more so that the atmosphere of this festival is so turbulent, or because there are eucalyptus at hand.

Dali Temple and other yamen are like this, when there are eucalyptus, it is the New Year can also be busy day and night in Dali Temple to spread a blanket and make do sleep; When there are no eucalyptus, there is no festival, and you can take an annual vacation. Everything depends on whether those villains and villains give face!

It's a pity that gangsters never pick a day when they commit crimes.

On the ninth day of September, Wei Wei, who has always loved flowers and plants, brought two pots of chrysanthemums at home and put them at the door of the lobby of Dali Temple.

The rest of the festive atmosphere is all in the chef.

September 9, Chung Yeung Festival, you want to eat Chongyang cake!

Today's chef naturally hasn't forgotten the Chongyang cake, compared with the dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival and the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wen Mingtang did not make any major changes in the Chongyang cake, and only made the Chongyang cake according to the practice of the imperial dining room in the palace.

The method of chongyang cake is much the same, and it is just rice cake with bean paste filling and various sprinkles such as red dates, raisins, pine nuts, etc., as long as the ingredients are sufficient, the sweetness will not be unpalatable.

At lunchtime, Yu Saijiu paced over as usual, and in addition to lunch, he also took a piece of Chongyang cake the size of the square to sit down and eat it slowly in front of the eucalyptus.

Because of the busy eucalyptus business, many officers and officials did not return to Dali Temple, and the kitchen ate a little less than in the past.

Looking at the Yu sacrificial wine that walked to the food and sat down in front of the eucalyptus with the food, Ah Bing whispered: "I'm afraid I won't buy a holiday gift box for Yu sacrificial wine today!" “

After all, Master Wen's Chongyang cake made today is quite traditional, and it is not impossible to buy it outside.

When Tang Yuan heard this, he glanced at him and said, "What?" Do you think that the Chongyang cake made by Master Wen is not as delicious as the outside? ”

Ah Bing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "How is it possible?" After all, Master Wen is a skill recognized by Zhao Sishan, who cooks for saints in the palace, how can it be worse than outside? ”

"Isn't that it?" Tang Yuan snorted, pointed to the back of Yu Saijiu and whispered, "Since it is not worse than outside, and it is cheaper than Hongyan Building, you can take a look!" Yu sacrificial wine will still be bought! ”

As he spoke, Tang Yuan glanced at Ji Caimai, who was sitting at the stall not far away: If not, why would Ji Caimai prepare so many boxes of chongyang cakes?

The two of them talked in a whisper, but the Yu sacrificial wine sitting in front of the eucalyptus did not hear it, but just focused on the chongyang cake cut into square sizes in front of them.

A piece of cake is divided into five layers, which is more innovative than the three layers sold in ordinary stalls outside, and is similar to the Chongyang cake sold in big restaurants such as Hongyanlou, and the practice is not as ingenious as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The top and bottom are the same as the middle is the steamed rice cake, the white rice cake mixed with the two layers of thick and rough at a glance, are dark red, like bean paste, but take a closer look, the same dark red but slightly different. Yu Xijiu temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart and looked at the things scattered on the top: sliced red dates, raisins from the Western Regions, almonds, pine nuts, and the scattered osmanthus in the middle.

Osmanthus is really interesting, it seems that with it, it can always add some inexplicable "autumn mood" to all kinds of pastries.

Judging from the appearance, it is not only not worse than that of Hongyan Building, but even because of that layer of osmanthus flowers, it has some "artistic conception".

Yu Saijiu saw the appearance of this chongyang cake, picked it up and bit it.

The rice cake is steamed very soft, the rich rice fragrance has a slight sweetness, the two layers in the middle look slightly different dark red really have their own merits, the bottom layer is the most used bean paste filling in the chongyang cake, the red paste fried delicate and sweet, with a unique aroma of red beans; The first layer of dark red filling has a delicate taste, but it is completely different from the bean paste, it seems to be softer, and with the rich red date fragrance in the mouth, Yu Saijiu can't help but raise his eyebrows: is it jujube paste?

The taste of rice cake, bean paste, and jujube paste is so compatible, how can it not taste good when mixed together?

The main body of Chongyang cake is soft and sweet, but it is not only soft, mixed with jujube meat, almonds, pine nuts and other sprinkles on the top, which is richer than the usual soft taste.

I really don't see that there is another way, but because of the meticulousness everywhere, it is completely different from the Chongyang cake outside!

A piece of Chongyang cake was in the stomach, Yu Saijiu got up and walked to the takeaway stall with great satisfaction, and said to Ji Cai: "Chongyang gift box and I will take a look, I want to take some out to give away!" ”

Since it is ready to be given away, this gift box cannot be bad! Ji Cai bought an "oh", handed over the Chongyang gift box behind him and looked at the Yu sacrifice wine, and said, "You can keep this at ease!" After this gift box was made, we Lin Shaoqing praised it! ”

Because of the poem "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" engraved last time, this time, Ji Cai also added a few words to the festival when he bought the gift box.

The words engraved on the Chongyang gift box are: "Six is set as yin, and nine is set as yang." On the ninth day of September, the sun and the moon are combined. The two nines are heavy, hence the name Chongyang. ”
