Chapter 477 The Little Cook in the Palace 14
Liu Xiaoya didn't know why, anyway, looking at the lump made her feel better.

Suppressing the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up, she shouted: "Get up."

In the early morning, he picked up the food box again and stood next to Ms. Zhang.

Then he sneaked a peek at the person sitting in the main seat.According to calculations, the princess should be about 40 years old, but because of the good maintenance, she looks like she is in her 30s, very dignified and elegant, with the style of a big lady.

When I looked at the princess in the early morning, the princess was also looking at the early morning. After the little girl stood up, she could look a little thinner, but she was still chubby, especially her small face, which was just like the steamed buns she ate in the morning. , tender, very festive.

Maybe older people like chubby?Anyway, Liu Xiaoya seemed to hit it off when she saw Qingchen.

She couldn't help but said: "Listen to your mother, you are working in the small kitchen now, and you brought some snacks today?"

Mrs. Zhang secretly poked Chen Chen with her hand, and Qing Chen knew it, and took a half step forward with the food box: "My servant is grateful for Wang Hao's kindness back then, and specially made a small snack to honor Wang Hao, and I hope Wang Hao will show her face."

As he spoke, he raised the food box in his hand forward.

Another maid beside Liu Xiaoya, Xia He, walked up quickly, took the food box, opened it, and took out the plates inside.

I saw six pieces of square pastries neatly stacked inside the round blue and white porcelain plate, and a bowl of dark brown paste was placed in a small bowl with the same pattern next to it.

Following Xia He's movements, a long fragrance wafted out, faintly visible, seducing her sense of taste.

The concubine, who had been reading the account book all morning, was already a little dizzy, but she was aroused by the scent and suddenly became more awake.

The fragrance of this seed is not strong, nor sweet, but just right.

The plate was first carried from Xia He's hand to the hand of an old woman next to her, and after a brief check in her hand, it was placed next to Liu Xiaoya's table.

No matter what, it is also for noble people. Although it is not inspected like when it is eaten by the emperor, inspection is still required.

Liu Xiaoya's gaze never left from the moment the plate was in Xia He's hand, and then turned to the old nanny's hand, and Liu Xiaoya's gaze didn't look away until she put it in front of her.

Looking at the six square cakes on the plate, there are golden filaments hidden in the transparent dough. When I sniff carefully, there is a very elegant scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

The black bowl next to it doesn't look very good, but it tastes like a sesame scent. Although it is slightly stronger than the dim sum, it doesn't cover up the scent of the dim sum. The two flavors complement each other perfectly. Match each other.

Liu Xiaoya couldn't help but pick up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth. The pastry was neither big nor small, just enough to be eaten in one bite.

These are all rules. If it is too big, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it in one bite. It is unsightly to drop scum when I take a bite. If it is too small, I am afraid that the master and child will not be able to taste it.

A piece of pastry entered Wang Hao's mouth, she couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly, the smell she just smelled was really good, it was the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus.

After eating one piece, Liu Xiaoya couldn't help but pinched another piece and ate it into her mouth. Then when her mouth was a little dry, she added a spoonful of sesame paste from the bowl next to it, and immediately felt that she was more energetic.

She ate pine nuts and walnuts in the sesame paste. The taste is not astringent, but very sweet.

She secretly praised in her heart, these two choices are good, very careful.

Pulling out the handkerchief to wipe her mouth, Wang Hao looked at the mother and daughter who were still standing in the hall, then turned her head to Chen Chen and said, "What's the name of this dessert?"

This dim sum was improved by myself when the imperial dining room presented it to her in the early morning. At that time, the imperial dining room only said it was called osmanthus cake, but I changed it to a nice name called Jinyu Mantang. No one in this world would make this, so it is My own original, so early morning still intends to call the original name.

"Back to the queen concubine, she is called Jinyu Mantang." Qingchen Fu replied.

Liu Xiaoya nodded, looking at the color of the cakes on the plate, she really deserved the name.

"Tell me how it is made." The princess picked up another pastry, put it in her mouth and chewed it. The more she ate, the more delicious it became, which made people want to stop.

"Back to the princess," said Xiaochen Fu again, "The ingredients for making dim sum are actually very simple, that is, glutinous rice flour, sweet-scented osmanthus, and white sugar, but the production process is a bit complicated. It needs to go through many processes such as drying, grinding, molding, and steaming. Craftsmanship makes it."

After finishing talking in the early morning, I curled my lips secretly in my heart, can it be delicious?This Golden Jade Mantang requires mixing raw glutinous rice and white sugar in a certain proportion, putting them in a mill and grinding them into a fine powder, then pouring warm pastry, mixing and stirring evenly.

This recipe was originally supposed to use lard, but I changed the recipe in the early morning, and changed the lard to pastry, and the taste is also very good.

After stirring evenly, crush the glutinous rice flour that has accidentally agglomerated, then find a sieve with the smallest holes, and filter it three times until the glutinous rice flour mixed with pastry and powdered sugar is fine and fluffy, without any fine particles until.

Then spread the wet gauze in the steamer, spread the powder evenly on the wet gauze, only one layer is enough, then take out the dried sweet-scented osmanthus and sprinkle it on the rice noodles, and finally cover with a layer of rice noodles.

The heat is also very important when steaming. I personally watched the fire in the early morning. This shows the importance of the previous training. Just like the gas stoves used in modern times, all steamed on medium heat for half an hour before turning off. .

Only in this way will the gold and jade Mantang be crystal clear, soft and delicate, with a few dried osmanthus flowers dotted in it, which is very elegant, and the fragrance of rice, oil and osmanthus are perfectly mixed together to complement each other.

When making this dessert, you can neither blindly pursue the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus, nor lean toward elegance. You must balance the two to achieve the current effect.

In fact, the most important reason and the most important reason why this golden jade dish is delicious is that the sweet-scented osmanthus is produced in the early morning portable space.

Ever since she was able to cook at the stove in the early morning, she has used her portable space to grow some vegetables, fruits and food unique to this world. Because the ancients were so elegant and often used flowers as materials, she planted many kinds of flowers in the early morning. inside the space.

The purpose is to taste the things produced in the portable space and add the skills I have learned in this world to add the effect of 1+1>2.

Liu Xiaoya listened to Qingchen's words, and didn't ask carefully, as long as she knew what the raw materials were, she didn't have to care about how to make them, just eat.

Seeing that there were still two pastries left on the plate, she held back her hand and said, "The craftsmanship is not bad, go down and prepare it, and you can do it yourself for lunch."

After listening to Liu Xiaoya's words, Mrs. Zhang lowered her straight shoulders a little. This test has been passed, and the rest depends on Guo'er's lunch situation.

Since the concubine had already said that, she meant to see off the guests, so Mrs. Zhang gave another salute with Qingchen and left the hall.

After Liu Xiaoya saw that the person had left, she stretched out her hand to the only two pastries and the remaining half bowl of sesame paste on the plate, saying that she hadn't eaten enough yet.
