Chapter 440: Matcha Cake
Some of these ice sculptures come from skilled craftsmen, ordinary people, and children.
The combination of exquisite and simple and cute attracted bursts of applause and laughter from the audience.
The snacks in the food street are even more attractive to the stomachs of countless people, including snacks from all over the north and south, as well as pastries from the court.
The people who visited the city poured into the food to try the new ones, and the most popular of them were the exquisite court pastries.
Five to twenty yuan a piece, although a little expensive but very popular with the people, but unfortunately the purchase is limited, one person can only buy two yuan.
Hunger is consumed, so that the people who buy it are endless, and the vanilla who is responsible for collecting the money receives a soft hand.
But the smile on her face didn't disappear for a moment, and suddenly someone pointed at her and shouted.
"Mama, this is the grandma by the emperor's side! The pastries we bought were really from the palace.
I know this grandmother and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit the palace once.
At that time, I bought a delicate embroidered handkerchief from this mother, and my wife liked it.
Every time a distinguished guest comes to the house, he will show it out, and our husband and wife are also raising eyebrows because of this. ”
A young man who looked like a scholar pointed at the vanilla and shouted loudly, and the woman next to him held her cheeks and stared at the vanilla in surprise.
There was only a jeweled golden hairpin of vanilla in his hair, and he smiled generously at everyone.
"The pastries that everyone bought were all from the imperial dining room in the palace, and the matcha cake among them was the emperor's favorite dim sum.
This dim sum is the Imperial Dining Room Chef Qiu, specially developed for the emperor, very popular with the emperor, Chef Qiu also received a box of gems for this.
In this Spring Festival celebrated by the whole country, the emperor asked the imperial dining room to be made overnight for everyone to taste.
Although the price is more expensive, the materials are not easy to come by, and the quantity is limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
Everyone line up, don't crowd it!
Don't come to the queue if you have tasted it, please give the opportunity to the neighbors who have not tasted it. ”
"Good!"
The people at the scene applauded and welcomed, and they were all moved by this simple words, and some people who were reluctant to spend money just now lined up to pay for it.
This is the emperor's favorite pastry, and no one wants to try it.
The food in the imperial dining room of the previous dynasties was a level that the people could never touch, and now the emperor is sympathetic to the people, so they have the opportunity to taste the heavenly food.
People who were lucky enough to taste a piece of matcha cake were reluctant to swallow it for a while after taking small bites, which caused those who didn't buy it to swallow their saliva.
"Brother, what does it taste like, is it delicious?"
A man who didn't buy it really couldn't stand the sweet temptation, and asked the person next to him who was eating happily with a look of desire.
"Needless to say, one bite is refreshing and all illnesses are eliminated, which is even more useful than fairy energy."
The man with a full face carefully blocked the matcha cake with his hand, and he also wanted to leave two mouthfuls for the old lady in the family, so that the old lady could eat it and live a long life.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, the imperial court has to distribute silver and grain, which is the real family has an old man and a treasure.
It is not only filial piety that is preached, but also honor, and it is most popular with the people.
The people who didn't buy it almost regretted their intestines when they heard that they had eaten all kinds of diseases, and they only hated that they didn't grab it because of their slow hand, so they asked the people who closed the stall.
"Mama, will you come here tomorrow to sell?"
"Mama, we haven't tasted anything yet, we must come tomorrow!"
Vanilla heard the man's advertising words, pursed her lips and cleaned up the stall, and she was really going to laugh out loud if she didn't leave.
"There is only one good opportunity, if you miss it, you have to wait for next year, these materials are all from the emperor's share, and you must not do more.
Tomorrow on the first day of the New Year, there will be a big party in the palace, please go back! ”
"Alas, it's a pity, it's a year to wait."
"Yes, this is the emperor's favorite dim sum, it must be extremely precious, and twenty wen is really not expensive."
"I'm going to come early next year to get my spot, and I can't miss such a great opportunity again."
"Yes, we can't rob the emperor of food."
"Hey, I said your focus, shouldn't you have a big gathering in the palace tomorrow?"
People with different points of concern grasp the key points in the vanilla words at once, and their hearts are itchy and authentic.
"Mama, which generals and adults in our Yundu City are qualified to enter the palace for a party.
I don't know if we ordinary people are qualified to participate in the party. ”
"Hey, brother, what do you want!
It was a New Year's party in the palace, and it must have been the generals and adults who had made great contributions to the Great Xia State to participate! ”
"Yes, yes, we are all ordinary people, how can we compare with the generals.
I can only hope for my children and grandchildren, and when they become generals one day, I will follow with me. ”
"Pull it down! Return your children and grandchildren to become generals, and now the tribes around the Great Xia Kingdom have been wiped out.
In the future, there will never be a war again! ”
"What, those small tribes have been wiped out, why haven't I heard of it."
"Then don't we have to go through war again, thank you to the emperor and the national teacher, it's really a bodhisattva blessing!"
……
Everyone was attracted by this topic at once, and they talked about it a lot, and the festive color on their faces spontaneously appeared.
Not having to go through war is the deepest desire in everyone's heart, and who doesn't want to live in peace.
How bitter the previous wars were, the people who have gone through several dynasties are deeply touched, and they never want to do it again.
Only the Great Xia Kingdom can give them a sense of belonging, and it will also allow them to get out of poverty in just over two years.
Every family can have enough to eat, which is the best life for ordinary people who have experienced a lot of hardship.
As for the extent to which the Great Xia Congress will develop in the future, they really can't imagine that as long as they can maintain this kind of life, they will be satisfied.
…
Vanilla shook her head with a smile, the people were quite well-informed.
The two teams that went out to quell the chaos, because only the national teacher returned to the court, the imperial court did not deliberately celebrate the achievement.
It's only been a few days since there have been these rumors in the market, and sure enough, good things don't go out, and they spread thousands of miles away as soon as they come out.
"The emperor said that as long as they made important contributions to the Great Xia State, they were eligible to participate in the annual gathering in the palace.
Ordinary people will also have opportunities, for example, if you find a new variety with high yields, or if you discover a new vein.
As long as it is beneficial to the Great Xia Kingdom, it is possible to be selected, and it will be publicized throughout the country and recorded in history. ”
"What, go down in history, isn't that a matter of honoring the ancestors!" The scholar exclaimed loudly.
"Oh my God, then we don't have a chance to go down in history with the generals.
Ouch, no, it makes me excited to think about it.
I'll have to go back and think about what is rare around my house. ”
"Yes, yes, let's all go home and think about it, maybe one day it will really go down in history."
The more people talked, the more excited they became, and they longed to go home overnight to find a miracle.
