All-purpose flour is often used in Chinese pastries, but cake rolls are cakes that are cake-like pastries. Feng Zhirong only understands the principle, but does not understand the types of wheat in this era, so later it took a lot of effort to use different varieties and even foreign tribute wheat flour configuration, but fortunately, Cao Zhenpei, who was born in the north, has a wealth of knowledge in this area, and finally the two also studied a lot of different varieties of wheat from Daye and even foreign countries to develop flour to make her ideal raw materials.

Feng Zhirong knew that the dim sum made by Ge Zheng'an was to be presented to the palace, and all the proportions and raw materials were not hidden. And Ge Zheng'an is also a quick learner and can draw inferences, so most of the time spent this whole morning is spent on controlling the heat at the end, just to avoid the fluffy dough being crumpled and burned.

When Feng Zhirong came back to her senses, even Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Ge all came out to help, and they wanted to pull out more recipes into her head with a jackal, tiger and leopard-like expression.

Feng Zhirong described the various possibilities of the cake roll with a kaleidoscopic filling expression, and then ran away from the Ge family with Ge Yuening's guilty but expectant expression, and didn't even have time to tell in detail what gifts were contained in the box that had been placed in Ge Yuening's room earlier.

When the Feng family's carriage slowly drove back to Feng's mansion on the capital road at noon, Feng Zhirong did not shy away from slumping to the side, looking at the roof of the carriage with empty eyes.

Yu Zhu wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh, after all, she and Fang Chun were also working hard to help with tiring tasks in the Ge family's kitchen—including how to make cream, setting up several stoves to control different temperature changes, etc., which was really tiring.

After the carriage was parked, Feng Zhirong stepped out of the carriage with the help of Yuzhu and Fang Chun, but she didn't expect to see Feng Xuji waiting for her at the door as soon as she got off the car.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Feng Xuji looked at Feng Zhirong with a tired face, and asked, "Xiao Rong is tired of playing?" ”

"No, it's not that I'm tired of playing." It should be said that it is tired of playing. Feng Zhirong has always been able to show her various postures very comfortably in front of her peers, so she also said with a sad expression: "Cousin knows my good friend Sister Yue Ning, right? ”

Feng Xuji nodded and said, "I know you're going to Ge's house today." Ge Yuening has been coming and going frequently these days, so even Feng Xuji, who spends most of his days studying in the courtyard of his male dependents, still has met Ge Yuening a few times, knowing that it is a quiet and docile girl's house.

Feng Zhirong complainingly briefly recounted what happened in Ge's Mansion today, and said: "I originally thought that my uncle's love for dim sum was the most powerful in the world, but I didn't expect that everyone in the Ge family could compare with my uncle, which was really eye-opening." ”

Feng Xuji looked at it and smiled: "That's also Xiaorong, you have the ability to make many praiseworthy snacks!" Feng Zhirong has made a lot of snacks these days, and she has sent them to the other side of the men's yard, so Feng Xuji has also eaten a lot.

"It's not that I have the ability, it's that the book has its own talent." Feng Zhirong has long found a good reason for stealing the knowledge of later generations for a while: "My mother's room has a lot of Chinese feeds, and many of the recipes can be changed, so I was so picky and fiddling with it, and it was unexpected." ”

Feng Xuji couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "I know that Xiaorong is smart, but I also know that this is your secret and not learned from the palace, right!" ”

Feng Zhirong blinked and said, "Why didn't you hide it from your cousin?" ”

"What can you hide from me when you are young?"

"If you think about it, don't think so?" Feng Zhirong's cousin is very keen, perhaps far more powerful than Feng Xu, Feng Zhirong thought several times that he could read minds, but he also knew that it was because Feng Xuji had trained his mother's frail and sick mind since he was a child.

"Don't talk about that." Feng Xuji put away his smile and said, "I'm waiting for you at the door, my mother wants to talk to you." ”

"Huh? Right now? ”

Feng Xuji nodded and said, "It's almost noon now, and my mother asked her to send your meal to the courtyard and asked you to eat with her." ”

Feng Zhirong nodded and said, "What about you, cousin?" ”

"I still have to be with you." Feng Xuji walked all the way to the front of the inner hall with Feng Zhirong, and then said: "At the moment, the two aunts are still busy, and they also said that you don't need to say hello when you come back, just go and accompany your mother." ”

Feng Zhirong knew that her mother and aunt took good care of Cao Xinpei's concubine and sister, so she said kindly: "Okay! Then I'll be gone. ”

After Feng Zhirong said goodbye to Feng Xuji, she walked all the way to the courtyard of the female dependent, and before she stepped into the gate of Cao Xinpei's courtyard, she saw Cao Xinpei's personal maid Ziyuan beckoning to herself: "Miss is back!" The Third Lady is waiting for you! With that, he took Feng Zhirong into Cao Xinpei's room.

As soon as Cao Jinpei saw Feng Zhirong come in, he brought a smile on his face and said, "Looking at you, you seem to be tired of playing?" ”

Feng Zhirong didn't want to say anything more about what happened in Ge Mansion just now, so she also nodded and said, "Yes, some." ”

Cao Zhenpei bowed slightly, although there was a smile on his face, his serious expression was a little more serious: "Accompany me to dinner today, but I still want to ask you something before eating." ”

Feng Zhirong looked at Cao Xinpei's expression a little serious, and then sat down and said, "Uncle, excuse me." ”

Cao Zhenpei said: "Did you see anyone from their family when you went to Gefu today?" ”

Feng Zhirong nodded. And Cao Zhenpei saw this, and said: "Not to mention your aunt and mother, I believe in your vision very much, their family is good?" ”

Feng Zhirong thought about it for a while, and then told Cao Xinpei everything she had seen and heard after entering Ge's Mansion, and then hesitated for a while before telling the Ge family's fanatical hobbies and appearance.

The expression on Cao Zhenpei's face, which she had already painted, relaxed, and said, "I won't hide it from you, but you can hide your words." You also know that in our entire Feng family, your uncle has the lowest official position, and the work of the Ministry of Industry is thankless, and he has to run out from time to time, and the letter I brought to him a few months ago has finally come back in the past few days, and I have decided to make a family appointment for your cousin. ”

Cao Xinpei looked at Feng Zhirong's stunned expression, and his tone slowed down a little: "Your cousin is also twenty years old this year, and he should be engaged, but the Feng family is not high or low when he arrives at our branch, and this family affair is difficult to find, plus my health has not been good, and I have not been able to pay careful attention to which girl is good." In the past few days, I have been thinking that although the father of the girl of the Ge family is only an official from the sixth grade, our family background is not as solid as theirs, if their family is good, this is not low, so I want to ask you what you think. ”
