Regarding how to set up a stall to sell pastries, Qi Zhenzhen has been observing the situation of the stalls of the people in the surrounding Nanding Town every day since she began to think about it.

Because of the diligent government of the first emperor, although Nanding Town is only a small town close to the border, it is not very prosperous, but the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they also have the leisure to figure out a few more tricks in eating.

Qi Zhenzhen followed Yusheng and Zhenya to visit the morning market and night market in Nanding Town many times, and the more she visited, the more she was amazed.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people setting up stalls in the market, and the various foods sold are also large and affordable, so although there are not as many patterns as now, the taste is also rich.

The boss is even more enthusiastic, and every time Qi Zhenzhen and them go to buy, he will always add a lot of weight to them.

Over time, whenever Qi Zhenzhen and them walked in front of the boss's shop, and then looked at each other's familiar and kind faces, Qi Zhenzhen was always embarrassed to pull her grandfather or mother's hand and let her buy more.

It seems that this is the only way to reward the other person for his hospitality.

In this way, Qi Zhenzhen's little belly ate roundly, and there were no bumps and haggardness on the road to exile.

It's just that her mood is not as sunny as her gradually round belly, for no other reason, just because people's market competition is too fierce now.

Even if Qi Zhenzhen wanted to break her head, she really couldn't think of anything that would allow them to outperform the other party.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the boss's hospitable attitude, even the cold-faced Second Master Qi was moved by the other party's enthusiasm, and bought several times of snacks, which caused Second Mrs. Qi to complain affectionately that the other party was going back more and more.

From this, we can get a glimpse of the way people do business at this time, and compared to them, the Qi family was once a first-class marquis, although it was defeated for a while.

But if you really let the men or women of the Qi family give up their faces and come out to show their faces, I am afraid that there will be a fainting of Qi people on the street, and their faces are too thin.

Although Qi Zhenzhen thinks she is thick-skinned, she can't rely on a child to take care of this huge stall.

If nothing else, I'm afraid that passers-by don't believe that a young child can make any delicious food, just think it's just a playhouse.

Therefore, this food must not only have the uniqueness of being different from the market, but also have the exclusive characteristics of the Qi family, and at the same time have the value of inheritance.

With so many superimposed requirements, Qi Zhenzhen only felt that she had broken her head, and she couldn't think of any unique food.

So its little belly became round day by day, but its face was not as cheerful and smiling as usual.

Even the always serious Master Qi couldn't help but tease her and said that Qi Zhenzhen had become an old pedant at a young age.

In this way, time passed abruptly, and the Qi family had been recuperating for half a month, and they were planning to go to the West Hammer one day, and it was on this day that Qi Zhenzhen finally found an exclusive pastry road suitable for the Qi family.

Although the current days are not peaceful, but the Yao family has gradually become idle, Qi Sanye has come over a few times, but he has been facing the cold faces of his wife and daughter, he is also guilty, just said a few rough words and left again.

The relationship between them was so blunt but inexplicably harmonious, and Master Qi seemed to let it go and didn't interfere much.

On that day, Yao's was bowing his head and calling his daughter literate, she was the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and although the Guogong Mansion started with martial arts, it paid great attention to the cultural education of its children.

Yao's family is also quite wise about this, and since she married into the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion, she has not been treated well by her husband, nor has any other superfluous entertainment.

In addition to gossiping with Li, Yao devoted herself to these things, so her handwriting and painting skills added a little more to her progress.

Qi Zhenzhen does not have a strong ability to appreciate, she only thinks that Yao's flowers, birds, bears and fish are quite realistic, and the hairpin flower is even more beautiful.

So Qi Zhenzhen's heart couldn't help but sigh, it was really a pity that her mother was so good but only trapped in the inner house, and it might have been very different if she had chosen another path.

But this is just a fantasy, and at this time, Qi Zhenzhen was being punished by the Yao family for practicing calligraphy because of her clumsiness, so as soon as the Li family entered the door, he saw such a scene.

The curtains opened slightly, and the soft wind blew the curtains beside the bed, and Yao Shi was concentrating on embroidering with his head down? Qi Zhenzhen was a little naughty, and she started to stay stunned again when her mother was not paying attention.

Li couldn't help but be amused when she saw it, she walked in with a plate of pastries, smiled at Yao and said:

"Okay, Zhen Zhen is still young, so you are holding him back from doing these things, is it possible that you really want to raise a female champion."

Hearing Li's words, Qi Zhenzhen knew in her heart that the other party was bored and excused her, so she first got up and bowed slightly, and then said to Li with a smile in her eyes:

"Second aunt, you are finally here, these days, Zhenzhen is restrained by her mother every day, and she has to write and copy, and she has to endorse books, even this walking step can't take one more step, and the steps on my head can't move, and my mother also let me walk there with a bowl, and I am really tired that my neck hurts."

Listening to her daughter's complaints, Yao's blushed a little, this is a little selfishness of hers, thinking that Zhen Zhen's appearance is quite good, if she knows a little more, why not have a good marriage?

saw Li intimately touch Qi Zhenzhen's head and said to Yao:

"Okay, Zhen Zhen is still so young, it's time to be playful, what do you just want her to do? Are you afraid that you won't learn the rules in the future?

Besides, we are no longer the marquis of Jingzhong, so as civilians, where do we need these red tape rules.

Look at the stalls on the streets of Nanding Town, the stall owner's daughters are all helping to shout, and some have already learned the craftsmanship of the family and set up stalls alone.

This is the folk customs of this place, and those things in the capital are called to be sealed, and there is no need to mention them, not to mention those rituals. ”

Qi Zhenzhen's heart was a little excited, but Yao's mood was obviously a little worse than just now, as for the reason, it was naturally Qi Zhenzhen's marriage.

The so-called feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and now, Yao's own heart has nothing to worry about, except for this little daughter.

If she relied on the powerful position of the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion in the past, she would have been able to carefully choose a son-in-law for her daughter, but now that she has won the title, they have all become concubines.

has fallen into such a situation, if the daughter does not learn something, then how should the marriage be handled?

Don't blame the Yao family for thinking early, now at the age of twelve or thirteen, they began to discuss marriage, and most of them waited until they chose a good person, and then it was time for the bride to marry the two surnames.

And Qi Zhenzhen is now eight years old.

Li Shi looked at Yao's reddened eyes, she naturally knew what the other party was worried about, but there were more important things in front of her than those, and besides, everything had to be looked forward.

People can't always stick to the old times, the so-called soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth, and it is the right thing to live a good time.

But this is obviously not the time for them to say this, Qi Zhenzhen is still there.

Although she is young, seeing that she is so smart, it is time to understand everything, and if she passes these negative emotions to Qi Zhenzhen, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Alright, I don't have to restrain her today, and I don't have to let her learn those rules anymore, you see, this is my new pastry made today.

It took a few hours, and these days, your second brother has somehow always been obsessed with snacks outside.

I had a good discussion with him, but he was just stunned and silent, even so. Naturally, I wanted him to try my craft.

I deliberately picked fresh flower petals to make shortbread, first developed the petals into a fine powder, and then steamed in a pot for three years to ensure that its floral aroma was not too sweet and greasy, and finally went through multiple steps to make such a small plate of potpourri cakes.

It also has a very elegant name, which is called Jinfeng Yulu.

No, your second brother doesn't have this blessing yet, so I brought it to you, come and try it. ”

Qi Zhenzhen stood on tiptoe to look at the plate in Li's hand, but when she saw the appearance of the pastry, she was a little stunned.

It's just too fine!

Even if he had eaten so many pastries in his previous life, it was the first time he had seen Qi Zhenzhen like the Li family, and he saw that the white pastries were as white as jade with a faint layer of pink, which made people appetizing.

The outermost layer of puff pastry is as crystal as snow, and the shape is a peony after the rain, blooming on the plate, that is, you don't have to taste it, you can already smell the fragrance. ”

This pastry Qi Zhenzhen can't even eat, isn't this a proper work of art.

Yao Shi also picked up a piece with a smile and praised it sincerely:

"The second sister-in-law is really skillful, this golden wind and jade dew is very good, speaking of which, I also have some pastry recipes handed down at home, but I am not good at cooking, so I can only put it on the shelf.

However, because the handwriting of the pastry recipe is quite charming, I also copied it a few times when I practiced calligraphy a few years ago, and some of the general practices were left in my heart, if the second sister-in-law is also interested, it is better to try it, so we also have a mouthful. ”

Hearing Yao's words, Qi Zhenzhen only felt that her mind was suddenly relaxed, and she suddenly opened up a little.

"The shape is elegant and beautiful, like a work of art, the color and fragrance are complete, and the appearance of the Li family who makes pastries is demure and soft, which is a unique temperament that is different from the pedestrians of Nanding Town, which has both the tactfulness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River and the arrogance of the daughter of the family, which is very beautiful."

Thinking that she seemed to have inadvertently discovered a way to make money, Qi Zhenzhen hurriedly pestered Yao's and asked about those pastry recipes, Yao's saw that her daughter was interested, so she lowered her voice and slowly told it.

It turned out that when the daughters of the big families learned the rules, they not only had to learn poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music, but also studied female workers and cooking.

Of course, this is not to say that these noble women of the family have to run the kitchen and take care of the family after they get married, this is just a kind of icing on the cake.

And those pastry recipes for marriage are all high-quality, and the more exquisite and rare they are, the more they show the heritage of the family.

And Yao, who was born in the Guogong Mansion, naturally has no shortage of these, but she is not very interested in cooking, and the pastry book is just shelved by her.
