Chapter 74 Share the recipe

"Why does it smell like beans when I eat it?" Mrs. Tong was confused and took another bite.

Others also felt this way: "It's just peas, although the texture is very different from when cooked..."

Jiang Fosang nodded and chuckled: "It is indeed a pea. Some people saw that the seedlings were soft and weak, so they named it pea. When they used it to make snacks, they called it pea yellow."

Mrs. Tong nodded repeatedly: "Peas are indeed more pleasant to the ears than beans."

Mrs. Min from He Mansion heard the words and agreed: "Pea yellow is also very appropriate."

He Ai beside her had already finished eating a piece and looked up at Jiang Fusang: "How do you make it? Can you tell me?"

"Ah." Mrs. Min glanced at her daughter disapprovingly.

Generally, this kind of recipe is collected privately and is not disclosed to the outside world. If you ask it in public, how should people respond?

He Ao felt a little regretful as soon as she said the words. It was just that the pea yellow was too suitable for her taste. It would be a pity to think about it if it tasted bad again in the future.

"You!" Mrs. Min shook her head, "You just can't see good things."

Jiang Fosang said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty, good food, beautiful scenery, and the Fifth Lady is also human nature. It is not difficult to make this pea yellow. You only need to use the best white beans as raw materials, peel them, and wash them."

Clean and boiled——"

She described the steps of frying, condensing, and cutting the sugar in detail, and finally added: "It also has another name, called Chengsha Cake, or Huang Qiong."

He Wei sighed: "Every name is so beautiful, and they are worthy of it."

The ladies of various houses and girls got a meal for free, and while thanking her, they all praised her for her skill.

Jiang Fusang didn't dare to take it seriously: "These are all done by the waitress. I only use my mouth, but I can't be dexterous."

Mrs. Yu of the Pan family said: "It's a big deal to have such a clever mouth. If you have all the clever hands and a clever mouth, how will those stupid people live?"

"Who are you scolding? I'm not the stupid one you say..." Someone pretended to complain.

Another person continued: "You also have a clever mouth. Who said that knowing how to eat is not a clever mouth?"

"Wow you!"

The two of them quarreled, which made everyone laugh.

Zhong Yu looked at it from a distance, very disapproving.

Mrs. Yue tasted a piece, nodded repeatedly, and pushed the rest to her.

She sneered and didn't even look at it. She thought to herself that it was just a snack.

But a piece of dim sum actually attracted everyone so much... It must be more than just a piece of dim sum.

Are there a few people here who have never seen the world? They all praise how delicious it is, so it must be delicious.

Zhong Yu swallowed unconsciously, held back, and pushed the food box back.

"I won't eat her food!"

Mrs. Yue couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to close the food box.

"Take the rest back and eat it when you want."

"No! I won't eat it!"

Just as she lost her temper, the concubine beside Mrs. Tong came over and called her aside.

"Madam, I know that you feel aggrieved, but the matter is a foregone conclusion. It will be ugly if it continues any longer."

Zhong Yu curled her lips: "It was my aunt who said she wanted to marry me to my fifth cousin. Almost half of the people in Jiyuan knew about it. But now, my cousin would rather risk his life to snatch a Nan girl than marry me. I

You have become a joke in the eyes of others!"

Jia Gui sighed: "Madam, I don't want to either. It's really not as good as God... Cousin, don't worry, Madam will definitely choose a good family for you in the future."

Zhong Yu refused: "I have no shame, I have to wait for my fifth cousin! He has already abandoned Jiang Nu, and there is no telling when he will abandon her."

But Jia Guo knew it was not that easy.

This marriage was hard-won. The emperor intervened and granted the marriage himself. If he wanted to divorce his wife like an ordinary family, wouldn't this be a slap in the emperor's face?

However, he was afraid that she would continue to make trouble, so he did not dare to tell the truth.

He just said: "Even if you have to wait, you should be patient. Madam will find a position in the army for your brother..."

When Zhong Yu heard this, she reluctantly nodded.

In order to make this pea yellow, Calamus and others worked all day yesterday. They thought that the queen was just trying to make friends with the women of various houses, but they never expected that she would be so generous and just tell the recipe.

Calamus felt very distressed: "Why bother... the restaurant is about to open. This pea yellow is so rare, it's better to keep it as a store treasure."

Jiang Fusang shook his head: "Beans are expensive, and sugar is even harder to come by. But ordinary restaurants can afford to sell them, and ordinary diners can't afford them."

How to send it out as a favor.

If you don’t think so about calamus, the harder it becomes, the more precious it becomes?

"It's not suitable for sale. It's good for Nu Jun to keep it by herself. Not all the recipes of any high-ranking family in Beijing are treasured. But Nu Jun, you have a wide range of hands."

Jiang Fusang turned to look at her: "I see that you are getting bolder and bolder now, and you dare to blame the queen."

Calamus blushed.

She is indeed more courageous than before, and this is also the confidence given by the queen.

Seeing her hesitating and speechless, Jiang Fusang stopped teasing her.

"You are thinking about me, I know that. Don't worry, what you can give is never very precious."

Chang Pu nodded. She felt heartbroken, but she was more willing to believe in Nu Jun.

-

I thought it was time to go back home after the picnic, but it turned out not to be the case.

"There is a military horse farm not far from here. Your Majesty will hold a riding and shooting show there." Bian said.

Needless to say, this should be a pastime only for the nobles, and ordinary people cannot go there.

On the way to the military horse farm, Chang Pu was confused and asked Nu Jun in a low voice.

"The lady just said yesterday that September is the month without shooting. Why does my lord still want to perform the act of riding and shooting?"

Jiang Fusang couldn't help but laugh: "In September, there is no shooting in the law. If there is no shooting, the yin energy is strong and the yang energy is not left, so it is called no shooting. It is not the same thing as the play of riding and shooting."

Mr. Bian heard this and sighed: "My brother-in-law is very knowledgeable, and even the maids around me are also good at it. I heard that your maids are all learning to read."

Jiang Fusangqian said: "How can you claim to be a master of economics if you have only learned a lot? You have nothing to do and teach them how to read a few words, just for fun."

Mrs. Bian said: "It's not uncommon to know a few words. I heard that the maids of famous Confucian scholars are not only literate and hyphenated, but also can speak well. With the training of my younger brother-in-law, I think Chang Pu and the others are not far behind."

How dare Calamus take such praise? In terms of dexterity, she cannot compare with Jilian, in terms of agility, she cannot compare with Wanqing, in terms of brains, she cannot compare with Youcao, and in terms of strength, she cannot compare with Chunrong.

There was a time when I felt that I was worthless, yet I was promoted to the first place by the female monarch.

I can only be loyal and work hard, hoping to learn to be like Jiao Xing as soon as possible, so that I can become the heroine's right hand and share her worries and solve problems.

"The madam is joking, maid, maid is still far, far away..."

She waved her hands and wiped sweat, which made Mr. Bian laugh, and Jiang Fusang also laughed.
