Chapter 614: Mom, there seems to be something wrong with this jujube paste
Gu Nuoer waved his hand and ordered: "Close the door. We won't sell it today. If anyone comes to refund the money, we will let them in."
Those who had been waiting in line for a long time suddenly started shouting.
"No, I will be in line soon!"
"Yeah, maybe there's just one taste problem, and the others can be eaten."
Gu Nuoer's face was determined, and her moist eyes were filled with luster.
"No, we can't take such chances. We have to provide the best to our guests. Please call back."
People complained.
The little guy made a quick decision and decided to give each person a lantern for free.
In this way, the resentment was settled.
After everyone was gone, Mr. Jiang closed the door.
Ning Chudie frowned and calculated: "Princess, this is not good. The triple refund is a bit too much, and the lanterns are given out for free, and the price is also high. I just lost more than three hundred taels in total."
Gu Nuoer's pink and white face looked calm and composed.
"Losing money is a trivial matter. If the reputation is ruined, it will not be good for Liao. Many people know that the shop is opened by the princess, so Wo must take responsibility and not embarrass dad and Wo's identity."
She did not forget to reassure everyone: "It's okay, don't be so sad, let's find out the reason together. Aunt Qu, come on, bring the pastries that the guest just had to try."
Aunt Qu hesitated: "Your Highness, this is someone else's meal. I'll change it for you."
"It doesn't matter. He hasn't touched this side before. Let me try it a little bit."
Gu Nuoer took a small spoon and scooped a little.
This plate of sugar cake is called "Jian Tianxi" and is one of the traditional cakes in the palace.
Take the red date paste and knead the filling first, then wrap it with a layer of crispy sugar coating.
In order to prevent it from being too sweet, a piece of dried plum meat with the core removed is buried in the middle.
Since Gu Nuoer requires fresh ingredients, the plums must be picked in season, dried in the sun, and salted before use.
"Jiantianxi" can only be sold during this period. After this season, there will be no food left.
Therefore, this kind of pastry once became the most popular dessert in candy shops.
Everyone likes this sweet but not greasy taste.
When you eat it, it should be sweet and soft at first. That is the fragrance of jujube paste, and the sugar coating has a crisp crunch when you bite it.
Then, the plum meat relieves its greasiness.
But Gu Nuoer only took one bite and felt that the jujube paste was extremely salty!
It seems that a lot of salt was accidentally added in the step where sugar was supposed to be added!
But this situation will never happen.
Aunt Hu made all the pastries by herself, with Aunt Qu helping out.
Aunt Hu is an old lady in the palace. She has cooked food for the emperor and his wife, and she never makes mistakes.
She pays more attention to the fillings than anyone else.
Gu Nuoer frowned slightly and couldn't help spitting out the small piece of jujube paste in her mouth.
After that, she patiently tasted all the similar cakes that had just been returned.
Sure enough, they were all salty, as if the salt seller had been beaten to death.
Gu Nuoer lowered his eyes, the dragonfly outlined with gold threads in the black hair, its wings swayed slightly and shone with luster, which made little Nuoer's dark eyes even more clear.
When Aunt Hu heard that there was something wrong with the pastry, she hurried out without even taking off her apron, her hands still covered in flour.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Aunt Qu brought the plate to Grandma Hu: "Mammy, there seems to be something wrong with this jujube paste."
Aunt Hu tasted it in front of everyone.
Her expression remained unchanged: "No problem! Is it too sweet?"
