Chapter 219: The Matter of the Boudoir 03
Not long after Tang Ranyan finished speaking, the maids of the Feng Mansion came in outside. They first blessed the young ladies inside, bowed, and then exchanged a round of tea, and then came in with snacks, and then left.
Zhao Mingyun looked at the plates of dim sum brought in, each plate has several different colors and shapes of pastries, this plate is polished with ink-colored stones, and there are flowers and green leaves on it, it looks very good-looking, and said: "Zhirong, this plate is exquisite, is it at your mercy?" β
Feng Zhirong nodded and said, "Yes!" I fiddled with it this morning, and let people put it in the oven to bake, and now the skin is crispy. β
These pastries are a variety of different styles of post-life confectionery that do not exist in this timeline. Feng Zhirong learned some simple pastries from TV when she was bored in her previous life, and there are still a lot of pastries that can be practiced in this year, among them, the best one she made is egg yolk crisp.
Feng Zhirong was cute and miserable to the kiln outside the kitchen of Feng's Mansion - in her previous life, she had also learned to bake dishes with a foreign chef when she was not working, and this kiln in Feng's Mansion made her think a lot, so she could run to the kitchen openly and diligently, let the servants in the kitchen help her make many different snacks, and even baked pizza a few times!
In fact, Feng Zhirong lived in the countryside when she was young in her previous life, and her grandparents in her previous life abandoned gas and always liked to go to the nearby mountains to pick up firewood to open a stove.
Ge Yuening was very curious about these unseen dim sum, and immediately picked up the round spherical pastry with a golden and crispy crust and took a bite gently. Feng Zhirong secretly observed Ge Yuening's expression as a "master of refreshments", and felt a little nervous in her heart - although everyone in the Feng family was cheering, it didn't mean that she would meet other people's tastes.
Ge Yuening seemed to be thinking, took a sip of tea, took another bite, and then found the egg yolk filling inside. I saw Ge Yuening's face surprised, and only after the dim sum in his mouth was in his stomach did he ask: "Zhirong, I haven't eaten such dim sum!" Where did you learn this? β
The other three people were so surprised when they saw Ge Yuening, and they also picked up the same dim sum and bit it one after another, each showing different expressions.
Feng Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief, her skills had finally passed the test, and she said: "This is what I figured out by myself, because it is wrapped in duck egg yolk, let's call it this egg yolk crisp!" In fact, this is not a matter of indifference, the pastry made by Feng Zhirong is a real egg yolk cake.
Tang Ranyan took a sip of tea and said, "How is the egg yolk pickled here?" How can the flavor be so uniform and so intact in the inside? β
Feng Zhirong smiled: "Isn't it cold lately? I froze a basket of duck eggs with clean snow, then broke the eggshell, took only the frozen egg yolk, and then put the coagulated egg yolk in a plate of salt and rolled it to marinate for about two hours, and then washed it again to wrap it in the filling, which is also a trick, otherwise if you continue to do so, you can have to marinate for more than a month. β
Ge Yuening praised: "Zhi Rong said that she had never made dim sum at home before, but it doesn't look like a raw hand." β
"Naturally, it's not a raw hand." Feng Zhirong looked proud: "These days, I have let my aunt and uncle train in the kitchen every day!" β
Zhao Mingyun is a person who loves dim sum, and seeing Feng Zhirong like this, she also cherishes it a little more: "It's hard for you to be so lively and stay in the kitchen for a long time." β
Yang Ruai asked, "Zhirong, once upon a time, you once said that your uncle's snowflake cake is famous for being delicious, can you learn it?" β
"The one on the side sprinkled with powdered sugar is that."
Yang Ruai glanced at the plate in her hand and picked up the snowflake cake to look at it, while Tang Ranyan looked at Yang Ruai's plate, but she saw some clues: "Zhirong, not to mention that your dark gray round slate has a unique flavor, I see that if this dim sum is picked up properly, the powdered sugar left below will also have another trick!" β
"That's for Sister Ran Yan to guess!" Feng Zhirong said with a smile: "I have to put those leaves at the mercy of this plate first, and then I can put pastries." The powdered sugar, sesame seeds, and flower petals on top of these pastries were sprinkled later and then the flowers were inserted. If you pick up the pastry without sticking to the plate, the imprint of this piece of pastry is another painting. Feng Zhirong didn't know how to replace the words geometric figures these days, but she thought that her explanation was quite easy to understand.
Zhao Mingyun said: "To put it bluntly, even the imperial chef in the palace can't match your ingenuity Zhirong. β
Ge Yuening looked at the appearance on his plate, and a thought actually rose in his heart: "I know it's not etiquette to say this, but I really want to learn more about these pastries with Zhirong." β
Feng Zhirong said: "We are all girls of the same age, and we are all serious in learning, how can we be unruly?" β
Zhao Mingyun, who has always been the most guarded, said: "Although walking around diligently will make people outside talk, but if there is a serious reason and it is a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is okay." β
Tang Ranyan followed and said: "Looking at the entire capital, who doesn't know that there is a precious little granddaughter in the famous Fengzhu country, this little granddaughter has made good friends, and even if people outside want to talk, they have no chance!" β¦β¦ It's been during my time in the capital! Who wants to break their mouths more and see that I don't clean her up! β
Yang Ruai couldn't help but say, "Ran Yan, you are the Fu Yin!" β
As soon as Yang Ruai's words came out, Zhao Mingyun couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed too.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, even Zhao Mingyun laughed heartily, and everyone laughed for a while, until it was almost noon, when Feng Zhirong led everyone to the gate of Feng's mansion and watched everyone go back.
Before everyone left, in addition to Yang Ruai, who lived in Zhao's mansion, it was not so convenient, Zhao Mingyun, Tang Ranyan and Ge Yuening all made an appointment to hand over a post to Feng Zhirong later, saying that they wanted to invite her to sit in the mansion. Of course, Feng Zhirong was very happy, of course, in addition to going to the Zhao Mansion later for a purpose, she also really liked these little girls' homes - in terms of the mature souls in her body, they were like her own sisters, and it was also fun to watch them laugh and tease them; And at the age of only ten and a half years old, they are like their own sisters, who will always notice carefully and patiently that they are common sense idiots to the world when they are in the Feng Mansion, and teach themselves many concepts and knowledge well.
Feng Zhirong took a deep breath, feeling that today's full social gathering was coming to an end, but found that Ge Yuening didn't seem to have any intention of getting into the carriageβand the coachman of the Ge family seemed to be interested in his young lady's behavior and did not drive the carriage out of the carriage to His Royal Highness.
Feng Zhirong looked behind her with a puzzled face, and then watched the three carriages in front of her walk away, turned her head and asked Ge Yuening, "Sister Yuening, do you have something to say?" β
Ge Yuening nodded, showing a somewhat shy expression.
