Zhu Houzhao stared at his sister with wide eyes and motionless.
Seeing her laughing, he was actually drunk, and he was very satisfied.
Seeing Zhu Xiurong's intoxicated face, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and kept asking, "Do you like it? Do you like it?"
Zhu Xiurong looked at him, and didn't hide his inner joy anymore, he nodded very simply and said: "I like it."
"How is brother treating you?" Zhu Hou smiled happily.
Lao Fang just has a way, making a pastry can have this miraculous effect.
"Okay!" Zhu Xiurong answered crisply, without the slightest sloppiness.
Zhu Houzhao was excited, and danced with his hands and feet: "Now I know that brother treats you well?"
Zhu Xiurong was thoughtful, a little lost in thought, but still concentrating, looking at the cake, he was stunned.
"Sister, are you crying?"
Zhu Xiurong was stunned, but found that the circles of his eyes were slightly red.
Seeing the girl like this, Zhu Houzhao blinked, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist. This is a sister of the same mother, and she may be the only relative in the world in the future. Seeing Zhu Xiurong's tearful eyes, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "Don't cry!" , Sister, why are you so well behaved, you actually cried."
Zhu Xiurong wiped away tears, sucked his nose, and choked up: "Brother, you are so kind to me."
"Of course." Zhu Houzhao said triumphantly, "You are the only girl I am, no matter how bad you are, I will still love you."
"..." Zhu Xiurong couldn't help it, and wanted to sue again.
Zhu Houzhao excitedly held the dagger: "Come, come, come, cut the cake first."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a ritual missing.
He hurriedly turned around and called out, "Liu Jin, where are the candles?"
"Come... come..."
Liu Jin was busy on the cake, carefully inserted a few small candles, lit the candles, and ran excitedly to turn off the lights in every corner of the hall.
The lights were on, and under the candlelight, Zhu Xiurong's pretty face looked extraordinarily alluring. She lowered her head gently, and the fire light reflected in the depths of her eyes, and her eyes were still staring at the "If you are well, , It is sunny' character, biting the thin lips lightly.
Zhu Houzhao urged with a serious face: "Make a wish quickly. After you make a wish, you will put out the candle. This wish is very spiritual."
"May... make a wish?"
"Close your eyes, hurry up!" Zhu Houzhao salivated, he... was hungry.
Zhu Xiurong lowered his eyes with indescribable solemnity.
"Think about your own wishes, think about it, at this moment, what do you want most, do you want to go to a border town, raise a knife and straddle a horse, and ruthlessly cut down the Tatars on the thousands of miles of yellow sand? head. Or, do you want to..."
Zhu Xiurong closed his eyes, and some scenes that could be described but could not be said to others unconsciously appeared in his mind.
A trace of Hao Ran's shyness flashed across his face, and he opened his eyes slightly timidly, as if trying to cover up something, and he was busy blowing the candle lightly.
The hall was suddenly plunged into darkness.
With this layer of protection, Zhu Xiurong felt at ease, but immediately, the eunuchs lit the lamps in the palace, which put her under the lamps again.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to know Zhu Xiurong's thoughts very much, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister, what wish did you make?"
"I..." Zhu Xiurong was a little taken aback.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly knocked himself on the head, and couldn't help feeling: "I'm so stupid, you are not allowed to tell people about your wishes. If you say it, it won't work. Well, don't say it, don't say it, say it I don't listen either, well, let's eat cake."
As he spoke, he took a dagger and cut the cake open.
Seeing that the eight characters were broken into pieces by Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Xiurong's heart was about to break.
Zhu Houzhao carefully put the cake on a plate and brought it to Zhu Xiurong, as if offering a treasure: "Sister, come and have a taste."
Zhu Xiurong took the plate, looked at the cake on it, scooped it up with a small spoon, and put the cake into the mouth carefully.
Suddenly, a sweetness and softness began to stimulate the tip of her tongue and taste buds. It was a very strange feeling, very...delicious!
"It's so delicious." Zhu Xiurong's eyes and brows were filled with a smile.
She could almost imagine that the owner who bought this pastry must have spent countless thoughts on it. It is sweet and warm in the heart.
"I knew it." Zhu Houzhao excitedly cut off pieces of cakes and sent them to the Zhou family, Emperor Hongzhi and Queen Zhang.
Before there is no fresh yeast, all pastries are solid.
The biggest problem with solid pastry is that although it is easy to satisfy people's hunger, the taste is much worse and it tends to dry out.
Because of this, when people eat cakes, they have to drink them with tea, otherwise, they will be difficult to swallow.
Even when many people eat steamed cakes, they need to soak the dry and hard steamed cakes first, and then eat them in one bite.
Probably... It's almost the same as eating slime.
The terrible thing about fresh yeast is that it can make all pasta expand, not only making food soft and delicious, but also more convenient to eat. Therefore, after the appearance of fresh yeast in the East, steamed buns in the eyes of later generations came into being. Steamed buns instantly became a staple food and became popular all over the world.
In the West, people learned the art of making and cultivating yeast from the Egyptians,
As a result, bread has become a staple food and continues to this day.
Emperor Hongzhi took a bite of the cake, feeling the lingering taste and unique flavor, and couldn't help nodding his head: "When did Fang Jifan learn to cook again?"
"He made it for his protégé Tang Yin, saying that Tang Yin's birthday is coming up, so he made this cake."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
As Emperor Hongzhi ate, he whispered in his heart, it's so sweet, what kind of father is this child to be born, and to do everything better than others.
Even the food here is more varied and tastes better than professional cooks.
Zhu Xiurong's pretty nose wrinkled slightly, but she still smiled sweetly.
She didn't believe what Zhu Houzhao said, besides, Fang Jifan would definitely not tell the truth.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "Really? Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan has always been heard to be harsh on his disciples, but he never expected that he also has this side. This cake is very sweet and has a unique flavor."
Zhu Xiurong ate with his head down, chewed slowly, and listened intently to the gossip of Emperor Hongzhi and his son.
Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "Father, Fang Jifan is a bit strict with his disciples, but there is a saying that is good. The so-called son does not teach, father and son are wrong, if the teaching is not strict, the teacher will fall."
"Really? You also understand this truth?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao strangely, his eyes were deep and bottomless.
"Why don't you know, father really thinks that my son doesn't know anything." Zhu Houzhao was a little unconvinced.
Today is different from before. Now that the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang are both here, Zhu Houzhao is full of confidence.
Emperor Hongzhi was astounded, so he lowered his head and took a bite of the cake, saying, "It's good if you understand."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Of course my ministers understand."
The Empress Dowager is getting old and has lost many teeth, so she can only eat some porridge and water. Seeing everyone eating cakes, she smiled inwardly, but an eunuch brought cakes to her, and she waved her hands.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Great-grandmother, you have to taste it too, it will make you happy."
Mrs. Zhou just shook her head: "Ai's family is old, how can you eat it, eat it."
"It's very soft." Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, and he said seriously: "Great-grandmother will know after trying it."
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly thought of Mrs. Zhou. He looked at the soft cake and thought about it.
Ordinary food, if it is too hard, even if it is soft, it tends to stick to the teeth, but this cake is soft and delicious, it melts in the mouth, but it is not sticky to the teeth. He couldn't help saying: "Please try it, grandma." .”
Zhou was hesitant.
Sometimes if she eats something that is too hard, her teeth will hurt badly. With this lesson learned from the past, she is somewhat wary of any food.
Usually, for the Empress Dowager's meals, the Imperial Dining Room has put in all of their thought, cooking porridge for the Empress Dowager, but no matter how many tricks are changed, the boiled and rotten food will inevitably be boring.
As a grandson, Emperor Hongzhi had already noticed it, and didn't mention it, because he was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would be sad and touch a pain point, but now...he suddenly lost the desire to eat cakes.
No matter how delicious the cake is, it can't compare to Zhou Shi's smile.
So, he gently took a spoon to scoop up a little bit of cake, and carefully dipped the small piece of cake with a little cream, and personally handed it to Mrs. Zhou.
"Grandma, give it a try."
Zhou hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid my teeth will hurt again."
But seeing Emperor Hongzhi looking forward to it, Zhu Xiurong, the birthday star, seemed to be looking forward to something, so he smiled: "Come on, let's give it a try."
Emperor Hongzhi no longer hesitated, and fed the cake into Zhou's mouth.
Mrs. Zhou seemed very careful. The cake tasted a long-lost sweetness. The instant it entered it, it stimulated the tip of her tongue. Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes and hardly dared to use her teeth. Soft, but that soft feeling entered her heart all at once.
He only swallowed slightly, and the creamy and sweet stuff had entered his throat.
After eating porridge for several years, according to others, this old lady has enjoyed countless blessings, but she knows everything in the world.
The older I get, the more I lose my teeth. I dare not take out the things I wanted to eat before, and I dare not try the foods I liked in the past.
Now, let alone a cake, it is just an ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The old lady still thinks about it, but she dare not eat it for fear of discomfort. Therefore, the taste stimulation brought to her by this cake is more than ten times magnified , but a hundred times, a thousand times.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhou opened her eyes and looked at Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Xiurong all looking at her motionless.
Zhou's lips muttered, and subconsciously, he licked a little bit of cream off his lips, and said, "It's delicious and sweet, delicious!"
