Chapter 279 The Attraction of Egg Yolk Crisp

Qin Xiuniang came to measure Chen Fan's size.At this time the weather was still a bit cold, Chen Fan took off his outer clothes and only wore an inner coat.

Qin said while measuring, "Did Xiang Jun grow a little taller? It's a fingernail taller."

A fingernail high?
"I'm so tall, so I can't tell, right?" Chen Fan didn't feel it himself.

"It's not obvious, but the whole person looks different. The skin and complexion have changed a lot in the past two years."

Chen Fan looked at his hands: "Old?"

Qin Xiuniang couldn't help laughing: "Xiangjun has grown up. The year before last, he was obviously eleven or twelve years old, but he looked very assertive and imposing. Now he looks like an adult, and he has the majesty of Xiangjun."

Chen Fan walked up to the bronze mirror and looked at the face in the mirror: "How old do I look like now?"

"Eighteen or nineteen."

This guess is quite accurate.

"Help me measure it too." Chen Fan said.

Xiu Niang froze for a moment, then thought of something: "Worship dress?"

Chen Fan nodded.Xiuniang smiled happily: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiang."

Zhang Ci was a little surprised to see Qin Xiuniang.

"Young master is overjoyed, Mr. Xiang asked me to measure the size of the dress for you." Qin Xiuniang said cheerfully.

Zhang Ci raised the corner of his mouth.After the embroiderer had measured the size and left, he ran to Chen Fan's yard and hugged Chen Fan.

"The embroiderer came over to measure the size of the dress for me just now, are we going to worship?"

"You won't grow taller in two months and can't fit in the dress?"

"It can be made a little bigger, and it can be looser at that time."

Chen Fan hugged his waist: "I'll just embroider a few stitches on the wedding dress." She doesn't have that much time.

"A few stitches are enough. Mother will prepare Fengguan Xiapei for us, and we only need to make red silk jackets and trousers that fit close to the body. Bai Ce should have entered Beijing by this time."

Chen Fan was stunned.

Zhang Ci let go of his arms, looked at her expression and smiled: "My parents are looking forward to this day."

She also has parents-in-law?
Bai Ce has already arrived at Zhongshuling's residence and met Zhongshuling and his wife.

"They're going to pay their respects?" Mrs. Feng was both surprised and delighted, "Oh, is there time to prepare things?"

"Didn't you already start preparing?" Zhong Shuling felt that he was ready.

"There are a lot of things, the phoenix crown is not healed yet, and there are three documents for the betrothal gift and dowry..." Mrs. Feng was a little incoherent.

Zhongshu Ling smiled: "Madam, calm down, there are many people in the family, so we can get ready quickly together."

Bai Ce put a stack of booklets on the low table: "I brought a lot of things this time."

Mrs. Feng didn't care to look at it: "I'm only thinking about marriage now, I can't be busy with these patterns and formulas."

Zhong Shuling glanced at the boxes on the ground, and said with a smile, "Then do it for my husband." He opened a booklet, which showed various patterns of window lattices.He opened another roll of paper, also with various pictures.

Bai Ce reported: "This time, two cooks came with me. Some dishes and pastries will be made and explained to the relevant staff in the store."

Mrs. Feng diverted her attention a little: "They are all ready."

"I have prepared some jewelry, dishes and pastries." Bai Ce replied.

Mrs. Feng opened a booklet: "Recipe?" Another book: "Cake recipe?"

Turn over again: "Egg yolk crisps? Are there many duck eggs in the capital? It's too troublesome to transport them from Changping Township."

"Let's make it first and have a taste." Zhong Shuling said with a smile.

On the second day, Zhongshu made them eat egg yolk crisps, butterfly crisps and snowy mooncakes.

"This butterfly cake really looks like a butterfly." The little granddaughter Feng Yiran liked it very much.

Butterfly crisps are made crisper, which is not surprising to everyone.The meringue really surprised them.

"The outer skin is crispy, the inner layer is crispy, and the egg yolk is salty, fragrant and oily, with a rustle." Lin Fuyu likes it very much.

"There's a whole egg yolk." Feng Yan still wanted to eat it.

Mrs. Feng looked at the little cook Wei Tingting: "This must use duck egg yolk?"

"Yes, ma'am. This time we brought five hundred duck eggs." Wei Tingting replied.

Everyone started to taste the snowy mooncakes again.

"The skin is as shiny as jade, and it's a little bit transparent." Xie Chenyun held the mooncake and looked around, but was reluctant to eat it.

"The skin is so soft." Feng Yiran liked it, and pressed his finger on the moon cake, and then pressed it again.

The little grandson Feng Aobo is also playing with his hands, watching the ice skin getting thinner and thinner, and feeling a little elastic.

"This leather is so fun." He likes the texture of the leather.

"Food is for eating." Feng Chang told them.

"Food can also be considered." Feng Aobo replied.

After pondering to their heart's content, the two ate the mooncakes.

"I don't like sweets." Feng Aobo didn't like it very much.

"There are also salty ones." Wei Tingting handed her a ham stuffed with five kernels.This time Feng Aobo liked it very much.

"Go to the pastry shop today and teach them." Mrs. Feng ordered.

Two days later, the egg yolk pastry appeared in the most prominent position of Wang's pastry shop.

Many people are attracted by the appearance of egg yolk crisps: they are round and fat, with a few black sesame seeds dotted on the top, which is quite elegant and luxurious; the golden and shiny skin makes people salivate.

The price tag is even more attractive: two egg yolk crisps in a box, five pennies!
The wealthy people in the capital would not question why the products of the Wang family are so expensive, they are just curious, what kind of cakes cost five pennies for two?
Someone bought a box and tasted it, and his eyes lit up!

Seeing the oily yolk, everyone felt that their saliva was about to overflow.Needless to say, several people paid immediately.

There are many people with good literary talents in the capital, and they describe the taste very temptingly. When the audience listened to it, they felt that it was crispy, salty, sweet and salty.Many people paid for it, but the clerk took out a brand: Egg Yolk Cake, each person is limited to one box; twenty boxes are supplied every day.

Only twenty boxes?

The guy explained with a smile: "This egg yolk cake is made of duck eggs. I don't have many people who raise ducks and eat ducks. These duck eggs are not easy to get. Moreover, this egg yolk cake is very labor-intensive to make. It takes a day and a night to prepare." , it is very tiring to make [-] boxes a day, and if you make too much, it will affect the quality and taste."

After hearing this, everyone stopped demanding.With so many delicious foods in Beijing, wouldn't it seem too ignorant to have to grab that box of egg yolk crisps?

Many people suppressed their curiosity and prepared to wait until tomorrow to buy.However, the 20 people who ate it really couldn't get enough of it, and couldn't help talking about it everywhere. The news of the egg yolk cake quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, whetting the appetite of many people.

When the door opened on the third day, the guys saw that the front of the store was crowded.

Other shops followed suit and also launched egg yolk cakes.But their egg yolk cakes are not as eye-catching as Wang's, and the color is not as attractive as Wang's. The egg yolk makes many people frown.

Wang’s egg yolk crisps are peeled and you can see the whole egg yolk, which is shiny; some stores have loose egg yolks, while others have whole egg yolks, which look similar to the yolks in hard-boiled eggs.

With the background of its peers, the attraction of Wangjia egg yolk cake is even stronger.

Someone was standing on a street corner, staring at the shop bitterly.
