Chapter 279 The man selling wife cakes

Qianqing Palace.

"Why am I here? I've been nesting in Huashan. Why are you willing to leave my nest?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao in front of him and couldn't help but tease him. He was cruel and cruel because of Zhu Xiao's temperament. Hate, ruthless, if he does not seek fame and fortune, hate, if he does not desire fame and fortune.

The character of an emperor is to use fame and fortune to control a person, but if a person transcends fame and fortune and has the strength not to be afraid of power, then that person must be the most special existence in the emperor's heart. Zhu Houzhao was already happy, and he was wrong. The descendants of the clan, otherwise Nadong would not be denied the title of Lao Zhu's family.

"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixueqiu had a decisive battle in the Forbidden City. Why didn't he come? If someone had touched their legs at that time, I would have been in danger!" Zhu Xiao had a good impression of Zhu Houzhao. At least Zhu Houzhao was very courageous, and he was also very courageous. I'm very tolerant, so I don't want anything to happen to him.

"It seems that the duel was not easy, otherwise I would never have come!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao and said with certainty. He did not understand Zhu Xiao's character, and he would not be able to do anything that he was not completely sure of. He had done something wrong, so the duel itself must have been a conspiracy, and whether it involved his own conspiracy, which would affect the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Zhu Xiao would never have said so.

"I am indeed very keen, let him just tell you!" Zhu Xiao was not surprised. He and Zhu Houzhao had been together for a long time, and he had already understood Zhu Houzhao's agility. Otherwise, why would he be in the presence of Zhu Houzhao and others? If a tiger looks eastward, it will be possible to maneuver until the light comes.

"That decisive battle was just a cover up, in order to replace me!" Zhu Xiao thought of the trajectory in the original work, and his spirit fell into the dark, sensing the changes in the future. It's not a big deal, but in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it's like a fairy. He can predict the future and make plans in advance. Who in the world can beat the gods.

"How is it?" Zhu Houzhao had seen Zhu Xiao sense the changes in the future for the first time, and he trusted Zhu Xiao's judgment very much, so Zhu Xiao came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask about it.

"As long as he is here, no storm can break through!" Zhu Xiao waved his leg to indicate to Zhu Houzhao that he would not be nervous. Even if things changed, as long as Zhu Xiao was by Zhu Houzhao's side, no one would be able to hurt Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao calmed down instantly after hearing Zhu Xiao's words. Zhu Xiao is a heavenly being. The only heavenly being in the world cannot stir up waves in the legs of heavenly beings. He just wanted to confirm something. That’s all.

"Before the decisive battle is over, he will stay in the capital to protect my safety!" Zhu Xiao did not elaborate on what kind of conspiracy the decisive battle was, and Zhu Houzhao did not continue to ask for details. He just wanted to know the truth, and He can now confirm the truth. With Zhu Xiao in charge of the capital, no matter what happens, there is a truth. Then follow Zhu Xiao's ideas and develop without exception.

"He will ask someone to arrange a bedroom for me!" Zhu Houzhao wanted to ask the foreign servants to prepare a palace so that Zhu Xiao could live in the east of the palace.

"No need, he has already found a good place, so he won't live in the palace!" Zhu Xiao stopped Zhu Houzhao's move to announce people. Is there a traitor spy around Zhu Houzhao now? It is not suitable for him to show up at this time.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao was not reluctant and watched Zhu Xiao leave with some disappointment.

Wife cake is a unique traditional snack in the Chaozhou area of ​​Guangdong, made with sugared winter melon, wheat flour, cake flour, maltose, sesame and other ingredients.

The outer shell of the wife cake is baked to an attractive golden brown, and the layers of pastry inside are as thin as tissue paper and extremely crispy. When you bite into it, the crumbs fall all over the floor. You can taste the sweetness like honey with every bite.

! It takes a lot of work to make that layered texture. First of all, when you have the ingredients, separate the water-oil dough and the pastry. Put the water-oil bread into the pastry, open it and fold it up. Repeat this twice to make sure that the water and oil do not interact with each other.

Only with its melting properties can you create a crispy and distinct layered texture. Therefore, delicious wife cakes are quite a test of the skill and patience of the pastry chef.

And Ruming, in a remote corner of the capital, there is such a delicious wife cake shop. That shop has only been open for less than half a year. It is not very famous, but it has many repeat customers because of the taste and workmanship of the wife cakes there.

They are far superior to other stores on the market.

The owner of that shop is a handsome young man with a warm smile on his face every day. He is accompanied by a beautiful and pregnant wife. The two of them are very affectionate and go to the shop every day. Although they are not rich,

But it was very warm and the confinement period was extremely happy.

"Boss, here are two freshly baked wife cakes. He will taste them first. If they taste good, he will recommend them to his friends and ask them to buy them from me!" Zhu Xiao walked into the shop and took them back without directly weighing them.

Instead of asking for a taste test first, after all, his money is not blown by the strong wind. He will only be willing to pay if he is sure whether the wife cake there tastes authentic and delicious.

"Okay, thank you, sir!" A young man wearing a red apron smiled and walked out from the back of the shop carrying two golden hot cakes, without raising his head to look at the customer.

Officer, he thanked the customers proficiently. He is really a veteran in business and understands the importance of customers.

"My wife cake is not authentic. Why is there no wife in the cake?" Zhu Xiao looked at the man in front of him who was still walking towards him without raising his head, and couldn't help but tease the wrong recipe.

"Sir, you are joking. How can there be a wife in the wife cake?" The man didn't show any anger at all, so he just took it as a joke.

"Your Majesty, please be patient!" The man put the plate in his lap away, then raised his head and said politely to Zhu Xiao.

The man froze for a moment, the bright smile on his face stopped, and he stretched his hand on the table and forgot to take it back for a moment.

"Why, why am I not happy at all when I see my old friend, and even my smile is frozen?" Zhu Xiao showed a narrow smile and looked at Ximen Chuixue who had a frozen face in front of him.

"Why am I here?" Ximen Chuxue retracted his legs and arms and walked beside Zhu Xiao's right leg, but the smile on his face had faded.

"There's a commotion outside, but my client seems to have disappeared!" Zhu Xiao stretched out his legs to point to the world outside Yidong's shop and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who would have thought that the most ruthless swordsman in the Ming Dynasty martial arts, a new grand master, would actually start a business in a corner of the capital and become a pastry chef!"

Zhu Xiao took a closer look at Ximen Chuixue's outfit. He was wearing the standard red robe that remained unchanged all year round, but there was no sword around his waist, but instead he wore an apron. His appearance was still handsome, but the coldness on his face was no longer there.

It dissipated, a warm smile appeared, and there was even a red flour mark left on the side of the cheek, probably from wiping sweat with one's legs when making cakes.
