Chapter 190 Mooncake (4)

Yu Jijiu and his family were not the only ones to open the mooncake gift boxes in advance to celebrate the "Early Mid-Autumn Festival". Looking at the beautiful mooncakes in the mooncake gift boxes, everyone in the Jingyun Marquis Mansion immediately became interested.

Because Lin Fei always brings back some evening food these days, everyone has long been accustomed to having some room in their stomachs to wait for the food Lin Fei brings back.

Although I didn't bring evening food today, I did bring moon cakes, so it's not a waste of time.

Unlike Mrs. Yu, who chose mooncakes stuffed with pork meat, most people stretched their hands towards the Cantonese-style mooncakes with ice skin.

Mrs. Jingyun Hou fell in love with the beautiful snow-white snow-skin mooncakes at a glance. Without thinking, she picked a "Ruyi" mooncake and picked it up.

Mrs. Hou couldn't put it down when she saw the beautiful jade Ruyi. It was probably human nature when seeing soft and waxy things. Mrs. Hou couldn't help but squeeze it when she got it in her hands.

I originally thought that the snow-skin mooncake would lose its original shape after being pinched by me, but I didn't expect that after the force was removed, the mooncake gradually returned to its original jade-like appearance.

Looking at this "rebounding" movement, one can already guess that the ice skin in the tentacles in his hands is cold and smells of milk and glutinous rice. It must not only be soft and waxy, but also have a little elasticity.

After pinching the snow-skin mooncake twice as a "fun" before eating, Mrs. Hou brought the snow-skin mooncake to her lips and bit it.

After biting into the soft, glutinous and slightly elastic snowskin mooncake, chewing the scent of milk mixed with glutinous rice, Mrs. Hou looked at the goose-yellow liquid filling and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've never seen that before.

Nothing better than a filling like this!”

"The filling is called custard liquid heart," Lin Fei heard and said, "It is made with eggs, milk and other materials."

"No wonder it tastes so rich in egg fragrance and frankincense!" Mrs. Hou sucked in the custard-yellow and cold texture, sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but said, "I really like this custard-yellow filling, it's better to say

Let the chef in the house learn..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible!" After saying that, meeting Mrs. Hou's gaze, Lin Fei explained, "I saw Master Wen making this custard liquid."

The filling was made from ice cream, and the milk was used to make butter. Even so, she still said that there were a lot of ingredients missing, and it was a little unsatisfactory! Such a troublesome filling would probably only be tasted once a year.

Just get something fresh!”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hou was immediately disappointed. Holding the snowskin mooncake in her hand, she sighed: "It's rare to find such a satisfactory mooncake. After trying this snowskin mooncake, I'm afraid I will never be able to taste anything else..."

Before she finished speaking, when she saw the filling of the "Kuafu Zhuri" Cantonese mooncake that Lin Fei bit open, Mrs. Hou's emotion immediately stopped and she turned to look at the red bean paste filling.

The long strands of jade-white filling made me surprised and asked, "What is this?"

Although she has never seen such a filling, for some reason, looking at the jade white filling that can be drawn, Mrs. Hou has an inexplicable premonition that the taste of this filling will not be inferior to that of the one she just sighed.

"Desirable" snowskin mooncakes.

Lin Fei turned the inside of the mooncake to Mrs. Hou and pointed it out to her: "The filling inside is red bean paste. The filling in the red bean paste is called mochi. It has a strong frankincense, can be drawn, and is softer and glutinous than others."

The rice cake has a little more elasticity. With this, it can reduce the sweetness of the red bean paste."

Of course, Lin Fei didn't say so many things on a whim for no reason. Zhimu Mo Ruozi, for people like Mrs. Hou who love sweet mooncakes but dislike mooncakes that are too sweet, this red bean filling with mochi added

The ingredients are simply perfect!

Sure enough, as soon as the red bean and mochi fillings were mentioned, Mrs. Hou, who had already expressed her appreciation for the delicious custard and liquid heart snowskin mooncakes, reached out to the red bean and mochi Cantonese mooncakes without even thinking about it.

After she finished the mooncake filled with red bean and mochi filling, and feeling her belly that there was no room left, Mrs. Hou said happily: "I just like this sweet mooncake that is not too sweet!"

Those who lamented that Wen Mingtang's mooncakes were "sweet mooncakes that are not sweet" were also Tangyuan and others who were still cleaning up in the public kitchen of Dali Temple and had not returned.

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang smiled and said, "That's really a very high praise!"

As we all know, the highest evaluation of sweet pastries and snacks is "not sweet"!

Except for a few "unlucky" ones who were lucky enough to be "on duty" at the Yamen of Dali Temple, all the officials at Dali Temple were on vacation. However, because they made moon cake gift boxes, they had to come to the public kitchen tomorrow morning.

In this regard, no one had any complaints: as long as the salary is enough for this errand, who would be lazy?

The day of the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in a flash. Yesterday, there were obviously many people who went back early to "open mooncakes" to celebrate the "early Mid-Autumn Festival". I originally thought that the mooncake gift boxes could still be sold until noon, but unexpectedly they were sold out in the morning.

, wealthy guests such as Yu Jijiu even waved their hands and came over again to collect a lot and send them back to their colleagues.

"So... with Yu Jijiu and others as living signs, after the festival, I can guarantee that our public kitchen's takeout business will do even better!" Ji Caimai said while adjusting his abacus, and squeezed towards Wen Mingtang.

Eye, "It's not impossible that you can really save money to buy a small house in a few years!"

The lantern festival didn't start until nightfall, and everyone had to finish their twilight food before coming to Dali Temple to find Wen Mingtang. After seeing off Ji Caimai and others, and saying hello to a few guards and minor officials on night duty, Wen Mingtang returned to the house.

He pulled out the incense burner from under the bed, inserted three incense sticks, grabbed a handful of fried melon seeds, several fruits and a moon cake and placed them in front of the incense burner.

After doing all this, just when he was about to open a stack of story books borrowed from Liu Yuan to kill time, a voice rang outside the yard.

"Is sister Mingtang here?"

This voice... Wen Mingtang sighed after hearing this, put down the notebook in his hand, stood up and walked out.

Outside the yard, Xunzhou, who was carrying a box of mooncakes, saw her coming out. He quickly stepped forward and called out "Sister Mingtang", then handed over the mooncakes in his hand and said: "Sister Mingtang, the teacher has gone to visit friends. I

I’m staying in Beijing alone, but do you want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together?”

Wen Mingtang glanced at the "Din Tai Fung" mooncake gift box that he handed over, felt his heart aching for the money, paused, but still took it and thanked him, and then walked towards the yard with Xunzhou.

Although nowadays there is no emphasis on the safety of men and women, Wen Mingtang still opened the doors and windows after entering the house, and then served Xunzhou a cup of tea.

Xunzhou, who had just brought the tea cup, twitched his lips when he saw the mooncake gift box on the table. Thinking of the girl's obviously stunned expression when she took the mooncake from him, he suddenly realized and hurriedly said to Wen Mingtang: "

Sister Mingtang, I can save it! Next time I buy a festive gift box for the holidays, I will definitely come to the public kitchen of Dali Temple and ask about it first."

Wen Mingtang glanced at the mooncake gift box he placed on the table and nodded, "She is really "exceptionally qualified". She already understood her intentions without even opening her mouth! No wonder Wen Xuance and Wang Hehui value Yu so much.

he!

Seeing a smile appear on Wen Mingtang's face, Xunzhou took two sips of tea and asked, "What are your plans for sister Mingtang today?"

Most people in Chang'an City know about watching the lantern show at night, and Xunzhou naturally knows it too. As for where to go during the day... Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said to Xunzhou: "I want to go to the study."

Study room? Xunzhou, who was drinking tea, froze. Looking at the calm face of the girl in front of him, he felt ashamed and sad. He couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Mingtang really followed the teacher and is quite qualified in reading.

If it weren't for... eh! She must be one of the most talented women in the entire Chang'an city, why would she be wandering around this stove all day long..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Mingtang opposite. The girl scratched her messy hair and said, "I want to buy some story books. Liu Yuan only has the upper one here, not the middle one.

Ben, I lost the story halfway through, it’s so uncomfortable!”

Xunzhou: "..."
