Chapter 67 Bazhen Cake

"Is the Empress okay now?" Yue Wangshu hurriedly took advantage of the situation to care for Empress Meng.

Yan Zheng looked indifferent, "If you really care about the queen, you should often go to pay her respects. What's the use of asking only from me?"

Yue Wangshu: Ma Dan, is it wrong to care about your wife?
This sick emperor is a hard-to-serve master in his bones.She usually pretends to be gentle, respectful and frugal, but when she is unhappy, she reveals her true nature!
"After the emperor recovers, I'll go there." But it's not about asking for peace, it's about treating the illness.

As he said that, Yue Wangshu said suspiciously: "My ultimate move is not yet ready for use, why...why did you come here suddenly?"

Yan Zheng's face became even uglier, "Why do you think I came here?!"

Yue Wangshu: "Ah..." I came here specially to tell her about Ming Wang Long'an...

Yue Wangshu quickly squeezed out a flattering smile: "I mean, for such a trivial matter, you can just send someone to inform you, or write a letter. The journey is far away, and it is really embarrassing for you to drive here yourself. "

Yan Zheng snorted, "You don't have to pretend to be humble here!"

But if I don't pretend, you will be even more angry?Yue Wang slandered, and forced a smile: "A few days ago, I devoted myself to researching a dim sum recipe called Bazhen Cake, which is made of Poria cocos, Gorgon fruit, lotus seeds, coix seeds, yam, lentils, malt, lotus root powder Made from these eight things, it can nourish the spleen and relieve greasyness, and prolong life, if the emperor doesn't dislike it, why don't you try it?"

Yan Zheng's face suddenly softened a lot, and he asked probingly, "You cook yourself?"

Yue Wangshu nodded: "Yes."——Do it yourself, anyway, the eight ingredients are ground into fine powder and packed in cans, she just needs to take them, add sugar and water according to the proportion, shape them with a mold, and then steam them That's it.Of course, she doesn't know how to fix the ancient stoves, and the eunuchs also leave the fire to the eunuchs, so it's not too much trouble.

Only now did Yan Zheng have a slight smile on his face, "Alright then."

Therefore, Yue Wangshu came back in less than two quarters of an hour, "Bazhen Cake has been steamed, and it will be ready to eat later. I specially steamed two extra baskets, the emperor can take it back to the palace and enjoy it slowly."— —One for the emperor and one for the concubine, the atmosphere is not good, so she doesn't say it clearly, but the emperor should understand the meaning, right?He shouldn't eat alone, right?
At this moment, Yan Zheng has returned to his gentle and jade-like appearance, "I didn't expect that you would cook by yourself."

Yue Wangshu smiled embarrassingly, "It's true that I don't know much, but as long as I have the heart, I can always learn."

Hearing this, Yan Zheng found it very pleasing to his ears, and said, "The kitchen is full of smoke, so don't go there too often."

Yue Wangshu nodded. She didn't plan to cook often, otherwise the emperor was too difficult to deal with today, so she didn't plan to make Bazhen Cake for him to eat.

"By the way, how's the ginseng in your medicine garden?" Yan Zheng asked casually.

Yue Wangshu regained his energy in an instant, "It's growing luxuriantly! Originally, it was estimated that it would take five years to complete the medicine, but judging by the growth, I'm afraid it will be enough for two or three years!" ——The artificial cultivation of ginseng in later generations really only takes five years, of course Yes, under-forest ginseng simulates the original growth environment of ginseng, which is naturally another matter.

Although Yan Zheng knew about Wang Shu's innate ability, he was a little surprised that he could grow into it in two or three years?Is this ginseng or radish?

Yue Wangshu said again: "When they grow up, they will definitely pick the best ones and send them to the palace." - After all, the land belongs to the emperor, so they can be regarded as shares.

Yan Zheng smiled slightly: "Then I'll be waiting for Wangshu's ginseng."—I just don't know if it's different from the ginseng grown in the northern mountains and forests for hundreds of years.

While speaking, Li Yue, the eunuch of the capital, came in with an exquisite enamel cloud pattern high foot plate, on which were delicate steaming dim sum.In fact, the color of Bazhen Cake is not beautiful, neither gray nor yellow, even if it is made into a delicate flower shape with a mold, it still looks mediocre.

If you look closely, the Bazhen Cake still has tiny needle holes, obviously it was tested with silver needles.

"It looks ordinary." But Yan Zheng still picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing carefully, he couldn't help showing surprise, "The taste...is very good!"

It is obviously a herbal meal for strengthening the spleen and stomach, Yan Zheng didn't expect it to be delicious, but he wanted to eat it, but it was refreshing and sweet, not inferior to the exquisite pastries in the imperial dining room.

Yue Wangshu said with a smile: "As long as the emperor likes it, this Bazhen cake is mild in nature and suitable for all ages. The princesses and princesses in the palace can eat it as a snack on weekdays."——Don't forget your daughter.

Yan Zheng said: "Well, Wang Shu has a heart."——This Bazhen Cake really took a lot of thought.Then he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.

While eating snacks, Yan Zheng asked suddenly: "I heard that Wang Shu often went to the mountains to collect medicines in person, and he also personally processed the medicinal materials and made a lot of Rendan pills?"

Yue Wangshu hurriedly said: "Those pills are just prepared according to the ancient recipe, and I only dare to distribute them to the attendants of Huangzhuang and the mountain people in the nearby villages. The emperor's daughter and precious body, together with the medicine, it is safest to come from the Imperial Hospital. "

Yan Zheng froze, I didn't want to ask you for Rendan Pills!Why are you so on guard against me? !
Seeing that the emperor's face was clouded again, Yue Wangshu couldn't understand it. What's wrong? !Three-year-olds are not as quick as you!

Yan Zheng took a deep breath and resisted the attack: "I just want to say, even if you want to learn how to make pills, you don't have to pick them yourself! Although there are no beasts in the Rose Ridge Mountains, there are also snakes, insects, rats and ants!"—— I am so kind to be treated like a donkey!

Yue Wangshu smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Of course I know there are snakes in the mountains, and there may even be poisonous snakes!Every time I go into the mountains, I will bring a sachet to get rid of snakes and insects, as well as pills to treat snake venom, a knife for bloodletting, bandaged gauze and corresponding plasters.

But the emperor is not easy to mess with, so I won't talk about these.

Alas, she and the sick emperor always talked nonsense.

Please, can you stop coming before the ultimate move cools down?Yue Wangshu wailed inwardly.

Yan Zheng let out a heavy breath: "Every time I come, you will be angry with me once. Didn't I owe you in my previous life?"

Yue Wangshu's black line, hate me and make you mad, don't come!I didn't even welcome you here!
But she hasn't forgotten that Huangzhuang is the emperor's manor, and this is the emperor's territory!She really has no right not to let the emperor come.

Yue Wangshu was depressed. Sure enough, women still have to have their own property.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, you hurt your heart, it's useless to get angry with your body." Yue Wangshu had no choice but to comfort him with nice words.

Yan Zheng looked helplessly at the Bazhen Cake on the plate, "I can bear even the fact that you live away from the palace, what else can't bear?"

Yue Wang Shu slandered: Don't act like you are wronged!
But she didn't have the guts to confront the emperor, so she had to lower her head, as if yes, yes, you're right, it's all my fault.

"Forget it, take good care of yourself and write to me if you have something to do. If you really don't want to write, tell Li Yue to report to me." Yan Zheng couldn't help but reminded again.

Yue Wang Shu slandered: Li Yue still needs my order to report?Damn it was reported early in the morning!
Yue Wangshu suddenly thought of something, got up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for."

Yan Zheng's expression suddenly softened a bit: "You just say it."——Wang Shu Qiuzhen, it's rare.

Yue Wangshu looked at the Bazhen Cake and said: "Well, the Yue family sent me into the palace and sold a lot of property to make it my private house, so I want to repay the Yue family and give the recipe of the Bazhen Cake to Mrs. Yue. Let her open a snack shop to subsidize the family."

Hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't help thinking that Wang Shu knew how to repay his kindness, so he nodded and said, "This Bazhen Cake recipe is originally yours, so you can give it to whoever you want."

Yue Wang reassured that although she "invented" it, it will still be a court dessert, so I should ask the emperor for instructions, it is safer to cross the Ming Road.

As he said that, Yan Zheng said again: "I'm afraid that only one recipe is not enough. I will ask Yuchu to write more recipes for palace cakes and give them to you later."

Hearing this, Yue Wangshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly gathered his knees to express his thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" That's a good thing, most of the recipes of palace cakes are unknown to the outside world, so after many imperial chefs retired, the major restaurants in Beijing spared no expense to hire them. .

With these palace dim sum secrets, the Yue family pastry shop will never be too hot.

Yan Zheng had investigated Yue's family earlier, Yue Mingde was an upright official, Yue's family was naturally not very well-off, in order to send their daughter into the palace, they had indeed sold off a lot of property in private, naturally their life became poorer.

Wang Shu has the heart to repay the Yue family...

Yan Zheng said quickly: "You let Yue's family open another makeup shop, and I will order the construction department to supply it later."

Yue Wangshu was overjoyed, isn't that the face cream and lipstick that Qi Jiyue and the others just made?There will definitely be other cosmetics in the future!These things have always been handed over to the imperial merchants for management!Ordinary people can only get goods from the imperial merchants. Now that there are no second-tier dealers, why worry about not being able to make money every day?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yue Wangshu thanked again and again, now the Yue family will get rich.

Seeing Wang Shu's surprised little appearance, Yan Zheng couldn't help but smile, Wang Shu is still very pleasant when he is not angry.

Next, Yue Wangshu accompanied the emperor for a stroll around Huangzhuang, visited the pharmacy and the ginseng medicine garden, and she asked someone to pack some good mushrooms and two Bazhen cakes, and personally sent the emperor out of the palace. village.

Only then did Yue Wangshu return to the village tired.

As the saying goes, a king is like a tiger!
It's really tiring to be on the side of the tiger!
Two days later, Li Yue delivered a letter from His Majesty the Emperor, in which he said that the construction department had already discussed with Yue's family, and said that the Bazhen Cake had been eaten, so she asked her to make two more boxes and send it over.

Yue Wangshu was very black at the time, and the ya's Fangzi told you a long time ago, you can't let Yuchu do it!
However, Yue Wangshu, who just got the benefit of the emperor, didn't dare to write back, so he had to write a thank-you letter, along with two boxes of Bazhen cakes and a recipe of Bazhen cakes written by himself, and asked Li to send them to others. Back to the palace.

Oh, please calm down!
