Qing Chuan Zhi Wants to Be a Concubine

Chapter 144 Mid-Autumn Festival ([-])

"Hey, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. By the way, Bihe, do you know what kinds of mooncakes there are in the palace?" Sitting on the couch, leaning on the kang table with your elbows, you are twisting a chess piece on your fingers to play with the mooncakes. Yao asked Bihe curiously.

Without even thinking about it, Bi He replied directly: "There are quite a lot of them. There are Soviet-style mooncakes, Cantonese-style mooncakes, Zhejiang-style mooncakes, Fujian-style mooncakes, etc. Besides those made by the Imperial Dining Room, there are also those offered by other provinces."

"So many!" Yuyao was surprised, she let go of her fingers, and the twirled chess piece fell on the Kang table with two "slaps", but she didn't even look at it, her eyes were still looking at Bihe, and asked: "Where is that?" What stuffing do you have?"

"There are five kernels, Zilaihong, Zilaibai, red bean paste, jujube paste, lotus paste, honey, peach kernels, melon kernels, roses..." Bihe introduced them to Yuyao like this.

Yuyao looked at Bihe who was constantly introducing her with her fingers, and then interrupted: "Okay, no more introductions!"

There are so many varieties of mooncakes, I really look forward to it!

I also thought that if there were not many kinds of mooncakes in the palace, if they were all traditional mooncakes like Wuren outside the palace, she would definitely ask the small kitchen to make them separately, but since the imperial dining room made them So many varieties, that counts...

"Wait, do you have egg yolk mooncakes?" Yu Yao asked quickly.

"Egg yolks can also be used as fillings for mooncakes?" Bi He, who heard about it for the first time, was surprised.

"Egg yolk mooncakes are delicious!" The blue clothes next to him hurriedly interjected, and continued, "When the master was still in the Guerjia mansion, he asked the small kitchen to make it. The master was kind and gave it to the servants. A piece of mooncake. It was the first time this servant had eaten mooncakes, and it was delicious! There is also the salty taste of egg yolks, which is really unforgettable!"

"It's not because you eat mooncakes for the first time, so you always feel unforgettable and delicious, right?" Bihe doubted.

Lan Yi became impatient, "No, it's really delicious!"

Seeing her attitude, Bihe believed her a little, and turned to look at her master Yuyao.

Yuyao smiled at Bihe and said nothing, she turned her eyes to Lanyi, and said, "Lanyi, go to the small kitchen and tell them how to make egg yolk mooncakes, egg yolk lotus paste mooncakes, egg yolk bean paste mooncakes, sweet potato mooncakes, sweet potato lotus paste mooncakes, etc. Wait for what we have done before.

By the way, you asked the small kitchen to make more pure egg yolk mooncakes, this is my favorite.At that time, I will give you some mooncakes with new fillings from Bihe, so that you can know whether the mooncakes with egg yolk are delicious or not! "

Bi He looked forward to it: "Master, you said so, the egg yolk mooncakes are really delicious, and the servants should have a good taste at that time."

"Sister Bihe, don't worry, the egg yolk mooncakes are absolutely delicious!" Lan Yi swore to Bihe, then turned to Yuyao, and said in command, "Master, I will go to the small kitchen now."

"Wait, take some money and tell the small kitchen to make more mooncakes. It's a rare holiday, so give them some."

Lanyi and Bihe looked at each other, and at the same time saluted Yuyao gratefully: "Master is kind, this servant thanked Master on behalf of the palace people!"

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, not only the moon cakes are made in the garden, but also all kinds of lights are decorated, which is very lively.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuyao finally ate the mooncakes that she asked the small kitchen to make. She even asked someone to send some to the queen. Some rewards for the concubines, such as clothing, moon cakes and so on.

Of course, she specially asked Li Quan to give some to Yongzheng, after all the other concubines in the garden gave them, it would be too conspicuous for her not to give them.

And Yongzheng was actually very kind to her, so she specially picked some mooncakes that fit Yongzheng's taste, and of course, she also put in two mooncakes that didn't quite suit her taste, which seemed less intentional.

Yongzheng saw the mooncakes sent by the concubines, listened to Su Peisheng's detailed introduction, waved his hand impatiently, and said directly: "You all take it and eat it!"

In addition to those sent by the concubines, the governors of various provinces also carefully prepared, and sent escorts to the garden early, so many mooncakes for him to eat, how could he eat them.

"Wait, that plate of mooncakes seems a bit different?" Yongzheng pointed to a plate among the many mooncakes, the style and size of which were different from the usual ones.

The moon cakes in the palace are ten catties, three catties, one catty, five taels, three taels, one tael, five qian, and the moon cake he pointed to is between three taels and the smallest moon cake. Between two and five yuan, he reckoned, the weight is about two or two.

"Concubine Jin asked Li Quan to send them here." Su Peisheng was very discerning. Seeing that he was obviously interested, he quickly introduced: "These mooncakes are not only innovative in size and weight, but also in the fillings."

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows with interest and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"There are egg yolk mooncakes, lotus paste egg yolk mooncakes, red bean paste egg yolk mooncakes, sweet potato mooncakes..."

"Sweet potato mooncakes? Can sweet potatoes be used as a filling for mooncakes?" Yongzheng was very surprised.

Su Peisheng: "..." This is obviously done, why not? !

Seeing his silence, Yongzheng also knew that it was useless to ask Su Peisheng this question. After all, he was not the first person to make this kind of mooncakes. Forget it, let's go to Shaojingxuan and ask Yao'er!

Thinking about it, Yongzheng turned his gaze back to the imperial table in front of him, and the stacks of uncorrected memorials remained unmoved.

Well, forget it, Yongzheng immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to Shaojingxuan without even thinking about it, and he can go there in his free time when he goes to Shaojingxuan to wait for dinner, and the important thing is to correct the memorial!
Moreover, I don't know if the sweet potato stuffed mooncakes are delicious. If they are delicious, it's not too late to ask.

Thinking about it, Yongzheng asked Su Peisheng to bring up this very different plate of mooncakes. Immediately, a eunuch stood up and inserted it with a silver needle.

During this period, Yongzheng didn't pay any attention at all. Being a workaholic, he had already picked up the ink brush, took the memorial, opened it, quickly skipped some useless words, and focused on the main thing he wanted to say in the memorial.

After reading it, he looked at it again from the beginning to see if there were any omissions, and at the same time he thought about how to reply. After reading it again, he also thought about how to reply, and then picked up a pen and wrote a long paragraph on the memorial. discourse.

After checking over there, Yongzheng, who continued to correct the memorial for a quarter of an hour, was a little unsatisfied. He didn't want to try new mooncakes, and just wanted to continue to correct the memorial.

However, he was still thinking about sweet potato mooncakes, so he let out an inaudible sigh, seeing the uncorrected memorial on the royal table, his eyes quickly flashed reluctance, and the ink pen in his hand was slowly and heavily placed on the pen holder.

The mooncakes were brought to the imperial table. Yongzheng took the wet handkerchief from Su Peisheng and wiped his hands, then picked up a piece of sweet potato mooncake and ate it. He found that the taste was quite good, the sweetness was just right, and he liked it.

Then I picked up another egg yolk mooncake, took a bite and found that there were two egg yolks in it. The salty taste of the egg yolk made Yongzheng, who doesn't like sweets very much, very satisfied, because this mooncake is salty, and it suits his taste better than sweet potato mooncakes. .

As for other mooncakes with lotus seed paste and egg yolk, mooncakes with egg yolk and red bean paste are sweeter than pure egg yolk mooncakes. He still prefers the salty egg yolk mooncakes.

It’s just that there are not enough egg yolk mooncakes. There are only two pure egg yolk mooncakes on a plate, and one was eaten by the eunuch. Yongzheng looked at the other mooncakes left on the plate, and regret quickly flashed in his dark eyes. The eunuch took the mooncakes away, but he didn't eat them.

Then, Yongzheng devoted himself to the correction memorial.
