Chapter 772 Snowskin Mooncakes
As expected by the fourth prince, Emperor Shengde was moved: "I heard that your aunt, this Mid-Autumn Festival will be in Beijing. I haven't been together with this sister for a long time... well, I will take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a reunion festival with my sister and nephew!"
I am not coveting the delicious food at my nephew's house, I am attaching importance to family affection!
The fourth prince did not expose his father and emperor. As long as he could have a good meal out of the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would be satisfied. The fourth prince counted with his fingers, his body, at most two months, can be raised to be no different from ordinary people.
In the words of the genius doctor's cousin, "I'm more alive than the average person!" I'm looking forward to it! This palace is so boring, he is so bored that he even digs the mouse hole in the cold palace!
This palace is a splendid cage made of gold and inlaid with jewels. He is trapped here and cannot be freed. When he thought that he would spend the next few decades in this cage, he couldn't help but want to go to his cousin's house for a feast.
Fortunately, after the father has completely raised his body this time, it will be no problem to live for ten or twenty years. He hurriedly got married and had a son, and left it to his father to raise him. When his son could be alone, he could be raised as a grand emperor! The Fourth Prince has a good abacus!
Gu Ye, who didn't know that he was thinking about him again, began to pour moon cakes upside down. Crispy and delicious five-nut mooncakes are a must. Compared with traditional five-nut mooncakes, they use more ingredients. In addition to melon seeds, peanuts, almonds, sesame and other ingredients, Gu Ye also tried adding walnuts, almonds, cashews, etc., which tastes better and richer. It is more fragrant and crispy.
Gu Ye also tried making snowskin mooncakes. Snowskin mooncakes are more difficult to make, but this is not difficult for the almighty cook, Aunt Yan. Gu Yegang recited the composition of the ice skin according to the book, but Yan Yan tried twice and got the ice skin they wanted.
Besides glutinous rice flour, they also added sticky rice flour. The sticky rice flour is not very sticky, which can prevent the ice skin from being too soft and glutinous. The addition of Cheng Mian not only makes the ice skin look clearer, but also increases the toughness of the ice skin taste.
Snowskin mooncakes are rich in fillings. In addition to the more traditional fillings such as lotus paste, bean paste, and jujube paste, there are also fruit fillings such as strawberries, pineapples, bananas, apples, and roses.
When the first pot of snowskin mooncakes came out of the pot, Gu Ye couldn't bear to take a sip when he saw the snowskin mooncakes, which were as white as snow, crystal clear and like works of art. Pick up a pineapple snowskin mooncake, the taste is soft and smooth, slightly elastic, and the filling is sweet and sour. Someone as picky as Gu Ye's mouth can't find fault.
Snowskin mooncakes are small, two mouthfuls. Gu Ye ate three or four flavors in a row. If the maid next to her was not afraid of her eating accumulated food and stopped her, she felt that she could still eat a few pieces.
Princess Rong He was also infected by her enthusiasm for making moon cakes. She, who never left the kitchen, also put on neat narrow-sleeved dresses and came to the kitchen to join in the fun.
She is responsible for the simplest printing of moon cakes with molds. After the beautiful moon cakes came out of the pot, Princess Rong He showed a rather complacent expression - these delicious and beautiful moon cakes also had her share of credit!
Of course, when you eat, you have the fruits of your own labor, and you feel that moon cakes are more delicious - there is no more delicious moon cake in this world!
Grandma Lu and Grandma Chang finally saw the long-lost smile on their princess's face again, and their eyes were red with joy.
How many years! Since the death of the concubine, the heart of the princess seems to have also died. What a lively and cheerful person before has become a body like a walking corpse. Since the arrival of Miss Ye'er, the princess's withered heart gradually grew new green shoots.
Miss Ye'er can always surprise them again and again, allowing the princess to gradually get out of the cage she drew. There seems to be a kind of magic power on Miss Ye'er, which is unknowingly infecting the people around her.
At this time, the eldest princess, although her body and face are covered with white flour, her smile is so bright, her eyes are so bright, and her whole body exudes enthusiasm and vitality, it seems that she has returned to her carefree girlhood. ...
"Oh, this snowskin mooncake has a crooked flower print. Hurry up and eat it to destroy the evidence!" Princess Rong He saw that there were defective products in the newly released pot, so she quickly took it out and let it cool for two days. Stutter.
Um! The strawberry filling is delicious! Her future daughter-in-law gave her surprises one after another. There are so many treasures in this little brain, it is impossible to dig it out. Even if this little girl is not a doctor or a pharmacist, she will not be hungry. This snowy mooncake alone can make her stand out in the dim sum industry.
Princess Rong He couldn't help but praise: "Little Ye'er, you have the potential to be a famous chef!"
Gu Ye was ashamed to say: "It's Aunt Yan who is so powerful that she can help me turn all my fantastic ideas into reality. To be honest with Aunt Rong, I can even cook porridge and turn it into a terrifying weapon of lethality. !"
"Really or not? Is it so exaggerated?" Princess Rong He was amused by her.
There was no joke on Gu Ye's face: "It's not an exaggeration at all. If you don't believe me, ask your son, he is the person who has been poisoned by my craftsmanship and has the most say!"
Ling Juechen's voice appeared at the door of the kitchen. He happened to hear this sentence and asked, "What are we talking about? What do I have the most say?"
Gu Ye took a piece of snowskin mooncake, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Auntie Rong praised my cooking skills, I'm really ashamed. Brother Chen, tell Auntie Rong, are you drinking the porridge I made? To food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, half of my life was lost?"
Princess Rong He was almost choked by the moon cake in her mouth, raised her eyes and looked at her son mockingly. She couldn't imagine that her frosty son would have such an embarrassed moment. But...that terrible porridge, my son can also drink it. You must love this little girl miserably, can't bear her to be hit?
Ling Juechen knew that the little girl was talking about her previous life. The little girl has excellent talent in medicine and pharmacy, but she is a mess in cooking. On that day, he took a huge risk to find the medicinal herbs for the little girl she needed. The little girl looked at him covered in bruises and was so moved that she decided to repay him by cooking him a meal by herself. As a result, it was not reward, but revenge. The only porridge that can be eaten, the taste is weirder than her potion. Endured and endured, and finally drank it, but almost died of poisoning - he seriously suspected that this little girl was deliberately harassing him!
Later, the little girl showed her "cooking skills" a few times without belief, and he was convinced that the little girl did not have the talent for cooking. Later, he forced himself to practice a fairly good cooking skill. Every time he cooks, he rushes to do it, and he has to worry about it, for fear that one day her whim will poison his stomach!
Raising his eyes to meet the curious gaze of the princess' mother, he looked at the little girl softly, wiped the flour from the tip of her nose, and said with a smile, "That was before. Your current craftsmanship is a day's work compared to that time. One place!"
Gu Ye remembered that when she was in Qingshan Village, she did help Brother Chen cook. When she passed through, she preserved the memory of the original owner. The original owner can't do anything else, and the skill of cooking porridge is still okay. Isn't she a hundred times stronger than her previous life! Gu Ye blushes and accepts Brother Chen's compliment!
Snowskin mooncakes identified six of the best flavors. Gu Ye started trying to make Cantonese-style mooncakes again. Among Cantonese-style mooncakes, Gu Ye prefers lotus paste and egg yolk. However, this place is located in the west, with more mountains and less water, and not many ducks are raised. It was Ling Juechen, who mobilized the power of the Hidden Soul Hall, collected hundreds of salted duck eggs, and added the ingredients.
Cantonese-style mooncakes are made of exquisite materials and fine craftsmanship. Aunt Yan pondered for two days, and finally made Cantonese-style mooncakes with thin and soft skin, golden color, exquisite and convex patterns, beautiful shapes and various fillings.
Among them, Gu Ye likes egg yolk most, and white lotus paste filling, with moderate sweetness and soft and delicate taste. Rong and the eldest princess like fine bean paste and quicksand moon cakes. Cantonese-style mooncakes also have six fillings.
Su-style mooncakes are crispy, crispy, and layered with layers of crisp, heavy oil but not greasy, sweet and salty. In addition to the five kernel flavors, Gu Ye also poured out rose stuffing, crystal mincemeat stuffing, sweet leg mincemeat stuffing, pine nut and jujube paste, and clear water washing sand stuffing, and they made up six kinds.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, both the big kitchen and the small kitchen are mobilized, steaming should be steamed, and roasting should be roasted. After the stuffing was prepared, all the handy servants in Ning Wangfu participated in the process of stuffing, printing and baking, both men and women. Even Gangzi, who had finally come to Xiu Mu's turn to eat and drink at Ning Wang's mansion, was pulled into a strong man.
Early in the morning on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old Zongling, the two Zongzheng, Jingwang's mansion, Qinwang's mansion, Hejia's mansion, and the eldest princess' mansion, which is slightly closer to Princess Ronghe, all received letters from Ning. The palace's Mid-Autumn Festival gift - a box of moon cakes.
Exquisite gift box, after opening it, it is found that it is three layers up and down. The first layer is a white and clear snowskin moon cake, beautiful shape, beautiful color, delicate pattern, people can't believe that this is a snack, not a fine art.
The second layer is Cantonese-style moon cakes, six palm-sized golden moon cakes, printed with auspicious patterns, exuding a strong and attractive sweet fragrance.
The last layer is the Su-style moon cakes. The crispy golden shell is decorated with crispy sesame seeds, which looks very appetizing.
Lao Zongling's most favored little grandson climbed onto Grandpa's lap, stared at the tempting mooncakes in the gift box, and asked in a milky voice, "Grandpa, this looks good, can I eat it?"
Lao Zongling's eldest son looked at the moon cake gift box with complicated eyes, and said, "Are you sure it was sent by Ning Wang's mansion? That's right? Isn't Ning Wang close to everyone? Over the years, I have never heard of him giving it to anyone. Boxing. Is the sun coming out in the west today?"
