Chapter 115: Lao Zhu is jealous
Wish?
Although Queen Ma didn't know why she had to make a wish before eating the pastry, she looked at Zhu Xiongying's expectation and serious appearance. And he is no stranger to making a wish, so he silently made a wish as he said.
looked at Zhu Xiongying again, and said with a smile: "Good grandson, I have already made a wish, and then!"
"Then blow out the candles, and your wish will come true, Grandmother Emperor!" Zhu Xiongying swore solemnly.
Queen Ma was stunned: "And this exquisite? Who taught you!"
"This is a secret for the time being, Grandmother Huang, blow out the candles!" Zhu Xiongying said mysteriously.
After thinking about it for a while, Queen Ma guessed who taught Zhu Xiongying. But she didn't light it, but cooperated, blowing out all the candles on the birthday cream cake in one go.
"Grandmother, now you can eat your birthday cake! Today you are the oldest, and you will share the birthday cake with the imperial grandmother!" Zhu Xiongying was not tall enough to reach the candles on the birthday cake, so he asked the eunuch to take the candles away, picked up the wooden knife prepared on the wooden cart, and handed it to Queen Ma.
Queen Ma took the wooden knife and gestured twice: "Good grandson, how do you use this?"
"Grandmother, you cut a piece of the birthday cake with a wooden knife and put it on top of this small wooden plate. There's also a small wooden fork to eat with a cake in it!"
Zhu Xiongying took out the wooden plate and wooden fork on the wooden cart, and explained it with comparisons.
This set of methods of dividing cakes was naturally taught to him by Lan Bin.
Although he himself didn't quite understand why he had to share the cake so much, he heard Lan Bin say that sharing the cake like this not only has a sense of ceremony, but also can share and convey happiness.
I wrote it down.
Queen Ma was confused when she heard this, and under the guidance of Zhu Xiongying, she cut off a piece of cake and put it on a wooden plate. He took a small wooden fork and stuck it on top of the cake.
Finally, the first cake cut off was handed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After doing all this, Queen Ma was a little ignorant, and couldn't help laughing, "Good grandson, what does this mean?"
"Share Happiness, Deliver Happiness!" Zhu Xiongying is serious.
"Well, that's right!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally holding a wooden plate with a piece of cake, and he was still a little unclear, but when he heard Zhu Xiongying's words, whether it was true or not, it sounded pretty good, and he said happily.
"It turns out that this cake has such a good meaning!"
Queen Ma suddenly cut off a piece of the cake with a smile, put it on a wooden plate, inserted a wooden fork, and handed it to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, come and try the birthday cake that my good grandson made for me!"
"Thank you for the mother's reward!" Zhu Biao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was holding the cake, listened to Queen Ma's words, and tasted a little: "Good grandson, in some time, it will be our birthday." You can make us a birthday cake, it's bigger than that!"
"You don't cultivate it, you eat all this vinegar, and you're not afraid of tiring my good grandson!" Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang squirmed his lower lip, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say it.
In the final analysis, he also felt sorry for Zhu Xiongying, and he was reluctant to tire Zhu Xiongying.
"I'm not tired!"
Zhu Xiongying looked at Queen Ma, then at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a smile: "If the imperial grandfather likes the birthday cake made by his grandson, the next time the imperial grandfather's Halloween, the grandson will also make a copy for the imperial grandfather!!"
"Good grandson, what a good grandson!" Zhu Yuanzhang was moved, and with a free hand, he touched Zhu Xiongying's head: "But good grandson, if you have this intention, the imperial grandfather is already content." Leave the kitchen to someone else!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Zhu Xiongying said it, but she made up her mind in her heart that when she waited for Hallomy, she would also make a birthday cake for the emperor's grandfather.
"Alright, I'm going to continue to divide the cake!"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiongying in front of her, and felt satisfied for a while, feeling that the best gift for today's birthday was to reunite with her husband, son, and grandson.
After stopping for a while, he cut the cake again, kept one for himself, and distributed it to the princes, princesses and others present.
Fortunately, Lan Bin expected it
In this case, let Zhu Xiongying's birthday cream cake be big enough, and Queen Ma is exquisite, when dividing the cake, master a degree, give children more points, and adults share less.
After a while, the three-layer cream cake was cleaned up.
"Imperial Grandmother, how about a quick taste? If you like it, your grandson will make it for you!" Zhu Xiongying watched Queen Ma finish dividing the cake, and hurriedly picked up the cake reserved by Queen Ma and handed it to the front.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and even everyone present were waiting for Queen Ma to eat cake.
The difference is that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are out of respect for Queen Ma, while other concubines, princes and others do not dare.
Just kidding, the emperor and queen are present, who dares to eat before they eat?
What's more, today is Queen Ma's birthday family banquet.
At the family banquet, Queen Ma was the largest.
"The birthday cake made by the good grandson is the best!"
Queen Ma took the cake, and before she ate it, she had already praised it. In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether the birthday cake is delicious or not, what matters is Zhu Xiongying's heart.
Zhu Xiongying urged, "Imperial grandmother, try it!"
"Okay, I'll taste it!"
Queen Ma smiled and held the cake, holding a wooden fork, forking a cake with cream, eating it, I felt strange, this birthday cake was actually quite delicious, melted in the mouth, sweet and delicious.
Is this really a good grandson doing?
Zhu Xiongying looked forward to it, "Grandmother Huang, how is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Queen Ma nodded and said sincerely.
She thought that Zhu Xiongying had never cooked, and she didn't even know that the kitchen door was open to that side. The birthday cake made must not taste very good, it is all ready, whether it is delicious or not, it is said that it is delicious.
I didn't expect the birthday cake made by Zhu Xiongying to be unexpectedly delicious.
It was a surprise.
Zhu Xiongying was looking forward to this answer, and when she was affirmed by Queen Ma, an indescribable sense of accomplishment emerged in her heart, and she smiled and said, "Grandmother Huang likes it, and my grandson will do it for you next time!"
"Good, good... The good grandson has grown up and knows how to honor the emperor's grandmother!"
The cream cake is sweet, Zhu Xiongying's filial piety makes Queen Ma even sweeter, and while she promised with a smile on her face, she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others hadn't eaten yet, and didn't forget to greet her: "Chongba, Biao'er, you also eat." The birthday cake made by the good grandson is delicious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, took a wooden fork suspiciously, forked a piece of cake on it, and ate it in their mouths, revealing a touch of disbelief, what Zhu Xiongying was like, they couldn't be clearer.
If you want to talk about Zhu Xiongying's character, reading and the like, they can say a lot, but when it comes to cooking, they can't say a word.
After all, Zhu Xiongying is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he doesn't need to cook.
It can be said that the birthday cake in front of him is the first pastry made by Zhu Xiongying.
It's just so delicious.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, "Good grandson, this birthday cake is quite delicious, who taught you?"
"My cousin taught me!" Zhu Xiongying said a little proudly.
"Lan Bin?"
