Chapter Eighty-Six: Xu De tastes Ollie
But the eldest grandson Shen didn't know this, and thought that Lin Yanchen hated being robbed of his position, and deliberately didn't give him good things.
Liu Fu and the others didn't dare to tell the eldest grandson Shen the actual cost of moon cakes, and when asked, they all nodded again and again and said, "What Lord Lin said is true, and even underestimated, only selling fifteen taels of gold a piece, and not taking into account the manufacturing cost of those large appliances." ”
Therefore, the eldest grandson Shen had been thinking about the moon cakes just now, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled down his old face and asked for it in person.
Under Lin Yanchen's instructions, the subordinates hurriedly went to the back kitchen to prepare and brought a large plate of moon cakes.
The eldest grandson Shen was happy at first, but after a general glance, he frowned tightly.
"Lin Xiaoyou, the old man just heard Liu Fu say that there are twenty-four flavors of moon cakes, why do you only have twenty-three pieces? Could it be that he is deceiving the old man? ”
"Eh, old master, you misunderstood, this mooncake is made into twenty-four flavors, but there is one of the most rare, only three pieces are made, two pieces are in His Majesty's place, and the rest are used as a reward for Shikui, so in fact, there are only these twenty-three."
The eldest grandson Shen frowned slightly, but still asked.
"This last one, but it's better in taste?"
Lin Yanchen shook his head, "No, if you are not proficient in sweets and pastries, you can't taste the difference, the difference between the three pieces is not in the materials, but in the workmanship and baking methods, if you want to taste it, old master, I will take you to Your Majesty." ”
"That's not necessary, listening to you, the old man can't taste the difference, and besides, the old man can't eat all the twenty-three yuan."
After saying that, the eldest grandson Shen waved his hand and disappeared.
At the same time, there was also the plate held by the next person.
When he arrived at the position, the eldest grandson sat down and rubbed Li Mu's head first.
After getting along just now, he still likes this kid a lot.
Speak directly and don't be afraid of him, it's very interesting.
"Liu Fu, you go and distribute this moon cake, leave some of each for the old man, and the old man can taste it."
In the face of a character like Changsun Shen, those craftsmen who didn't know his identity were already so frightened that they shrank their necks like quails, let alone Liu Fu, an imperial chef who knew who he was.
When Liu Fu heard this, he hurriedly got up and bent his old waist to death, and replied respectfully.
"Old Sect Master, you don't have to think about waiting for me to enjoy yourself, Lord Lin was very kind to me when I was in the imperial dining room, and I was dissatisfied with you and said, I have already ...... I can't eat it anymore. ”
"Oh? That's fine, Xiao Li Mu, you eat. ”
"Thank you, old man!"
Li Mu's eyes were bright, he had long been hungry, but he had never dared to say it, and now in the face of such a temptation, how could he resist as a child.
Grab one and stuff it in your mouth.
The eldest grandson Shen also tasted a bite of ice blue moon cakes, and he was amazed, it was really the best in the world.
He was about to instruct Liu Fu to make him a few pieces every day and send them to Yongshou Palace in the future.
But when he looked down and saw Li Mu stuffing a small bite of mooncakes into his dirty sleeves, his brows furrowed again.
"Little Li Mu, what are you doing?"
Li Mu, who was discovered, shook his head again and again as if he had done something bad.
"Grandpa, I didn't steal anything, this is the piece you asked me to eat!"
"Then why are you putting it up? Are you hungry? ”
"This mooncake is so delicious, my mother must have never tasted it, I want to take it back for her to taste......" Li Mu lowered his head and whispered.
Eldest Sun Yi's hand stretched out in the air suddenly stopped, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.
Yes, he has been in the palace for many years, and he is tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
I have long forgotten the five years when I went out of the palace to wander the rivers and lakes when I was young, and witnessed the fireworks and folk sufferings in the world.
At the beginning, he was already the peak of the seventh grade of cultivation, and in the years when he went out to travel, he punished the evil and cut the injustice, and the young man did many impulsive things.
It is precisely for this reason that he vowed to save the people of the world from fire and water and put down the war with his own strength.
But in the process of concentrating on cultivation, he gradually lost his heart, gave up his former ideals, and became the protector of the eldest grandson clan according to the requirements of his father.
Now that he was reminded of the past, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he hadn't agreed to his father's request to leave Hong'er and return to Kyoto, then his great-grandchildren might have been so old at this time......
As soon as he thought of this, he beckoned to someone not far away.
"You go and talk to the boy Lin, and say that it is the old man's order to pack all the food at today's poetry meeting and send it to Xiao Li Mu later."
"Yes!"
After the people left, Li Mu's eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
"Grandpa, is what you said true?"
"That's natural, the old man hasn't told a lie yet, hehehe......"
At this time, Xu De had already gritted his teeth.
"It's just a pastry, I will play some small tricks, and the real comparison will be the main dish later, but the original appearance will make you understand that these bells and whistles are useless!"
After speaking, he looked at the moon cakes on the plate in front of him again, and snorted disdainfully.
"Hmph, what a fuss, just pastries, I don't believe it can be delicious?"
Under strong curiosity, he had long wanted to taste it, but for the sake of face and hatred for Lin Yanchen, he had been holding back until now.
It's just that he picked it up and sniffed it, and he always felt that the taste was very strange, some familiar and some unfamiliar.
It's like... Like feces......
Then he dispelled this absurd idea, it was impossible, how could it be allowed to bring feces in a place like the imperial dining room?
And look at the exquisite pattern of this moon cake, if it is feces, isn't there still someone to pinch it with their hands?
But he didn't know that even if Lin Yanchen wore gloves, he would have to make this unique Ollie limited taste.
In terms of the whole person, there are only zero and countless times, and Lin Yanchen thinks that not doing laxatives or not taking medicine is already considered benevolence.
At most, the feces will be nauseous, and there will be no problems, and it can even make up for Xu Xiang's body.
Xu De didn't ink, he just put it in his mouth and took a big bite, then his teeth moved, and he chewed and tasted it.
"Well, the taste is soft and glutinous, not pure sweet, but also with a faint sourness and slight bitterness, there should be durian fruit from the South China Sea in it, the taste is relatively rich, but I have never eaten it before."
Xu De thought to himself, but he didn't say it explicitly, he wouldn't praise his opponent.
However, I secretly wrote down this moon cake and asked my subordinates to make some in the future.
Although it tastes strange, it has a strange taste.
IF LIN YANCHEN WAS HERE, HE WOULD DEFINITELY LAUGH AT THE FOOD HE ATE LAST NIGHT, AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD SEEN SOMEONE EAT SO MUCH!
At this moment, Xu De is not the only one who has the "Law of True Fragrance", there are also many aristocratic officials of Zheng and Jing.
They were arguing over the mooncakes that had been thrown on the ground and trampled on.
