Chapter 42

Yipinge is a time-honored brand, and the dim sum tastes good, but it has been old for many years, and there is nothing new. If you want to use his dim sum, you can just order it directly, and you don’t need to go to see it.As for Suhezhai, the dim sum used in King’s Mansion was his family’s dim sum. Lu Hanzhi knew how many kinds he had tasted, but it was Jinguifang. Lu Hanzhi heard that such a new shop had opened, and he hadn’t eaten anything from his family, so he said : "Then go to Jinguifang! Is it far away?"

There is a special place to park the carriage, if it is far away, you have to ask someone to drive over.

"It's not far, just a short walk." Coming from King Jing's Mansion, she was going to pass there. Princess Qingyun saw the signboard of Jinguifang when she came, and it was only a few steps to walk there.

The two walked forward, and after a short distance, they saw the signboard of Jinguifang.

Jinguifang is a newly opened shop, and it has only been more than a month since it opened. Lu Hanzhi has heard about the shop, and heard that the owner behind it is Princess Jinping, and the dim sum sold in the shop are recipes from the palace.

Princess Qingyun, as Princess Jinping's niece, curled her lips when she mentioned this, and said, "Aunt Jinping doesn't have time to do these things, it's not that my cousin opened a shop under the banner of Aunt Jinping, and she sent it to the palace earlier. Some, it’s okay to eat, it’s incomparable with Yipin Pavilion.”

These two streets are the busiest markets in the capital. Most of the shops on the streets have backgrounds. I heard that they were opened by the daughter-in-law of Princess Jinping. Lu Hanyi is not surprised at all. Strange, who in this world is not curious about what the emperor's family eats in the palace wall?Hearing what Princess Qingyun said, Lu Hanzhi couldn't help but smile, and said, "Then it really came from the palace?"

When a princess gets married, it is not surprising to bring one or two skilled cooks or maids of honor, and it is also common for the mansion to teach one or two skilled masters, and the royal family does not care about this.Princess Qingyun has a pretty good relationship with this aunt, but she doesn't have much friendship with her daughter-in-law, and even had a grudge in the early years, even if she is a relative, she still doesn't like her.

Princess Qingyun didn't go into detail about the cause and effect, but simply explained: "I heard from my concubine that Aunt Jinping liked these when she was young, so the emperor's grandmother allowed her to bring two maids from the imperial dining room. The desserts from Aunt Jinping's house It's really delicious. But the ones in this shop are just a little bit in appearance, and you can still look at them when you put them on display, but they are far inferior to the ones in the palace."

Lu Hanzhi laughed when he heard the words, and said, "How can you easily get dim sum in the palace!" Even if the Cheng family is married to the royal family, they can only get one or two during the festival.

"We're here, let's go in and have a look!" While speaking, Jinguifang arrived. Princess Qingyun knew about this shop, but it was the first time she came back, and she didn't report her identity. She walked in with Lu Hanzhi, and the shop assistants scanned it. Dressed up, the two rushed up to greet them, saying: "What do you two want to order? The dim sum in our shop are all recipes from the palace, and they taste very good. You two will know after you try it."

There are snacks to try in the shop, and the young lady and the daughter of a wealthy family came here, and the staff who did the work specially brought new snacks, and cut them up on the spot for them to taste.Lu Hanzhi picked a piece that was pleasing to the eye and tasted it. He was wondering if Princess Qingyun had a bad relationship with the owner of Jinguifang, and he didn't even boast when talking about it. He tasted it himself to know Princess Qingyun's evaluation. Very pertinent, no matter how gorgeous the decoration of this shop is, how good the service attitude is, this dim sum tastes really ordinary.

Lu Hanzhi scanned the snacks in the cupboard, his eyes fell on the caramel-colored snack on the side, and pointed to: "What's the name of that snack? Take some and try it!"

It seemed that Lu Hanzhi didn't expect that Lu Hanzhi would take a fancy to the dim sum placed on the corner. The clerk took another look to confirm what Lu Hanzhi meant, and hurried to get the dim sum from the cabinet.

Lu Hanzhi took a taste of the dim sum that was sent over. It was a bit like the biscuits of the later generations. It was thin, crispy and sweet, but there was probably no butter added, and the taste was less milky.But think about it, at this time, it is rare to raise dairy cows in the Central Plains, and there are not many dairy products, let alone refined butter, it is not surprising that there is no such thing.

Princess Qingyun saw that Lu Hanzhi specially ordered this, so she came over curiously, tasted it and nodded, and said, "This is good, pack some for me!"

In the end, Lu Hanzhi and Princess Qingyun didn't buy the fancy dim sum recommended by the waiter, but only bought some baked crispy biscuits to take away.

Walking out of Jinguifang, Princess Qingyun pointed to the front and said, "There is also a dim sum shop over there. It has been open for more than two years, but they are all common dim sum, so they are not well-known. Sister Lu, do you want to go and have a look?" ?”

Come here, let’s take a look along the way, Lu Hanzhi held up his round fan to block the sun, and said, “It’s already August and it’s still so hot today! Let’s walk over quickly, at least the store is not so sunny. "

Princess Qingyun nodded in agreement, and said: "This year is not bad, it will be a bit chilly sooner or later."

The other one mentioned by Princess Qingyun is not far away, and the signboard says Jinxiangju, saying that it has been open for more than two years, but Lu Hanzhi has never heard of this one.The two walked over, just in time to see a veiled girl coming out of it, Lu Hanzhi recognized Guo Xinlian with just one glance.

Seeing Lu Hanzhi, Guo Xinlian was also a little surprised, stepped forward to say hello, and said, "Is my cousin also here to buy some snacks?"

"Mother asked me to come out and see if there are any dim sum suitable for entertaining guests." The cook of Cheng's family can also make dim sum, but the skills are ordinary, and it is fine for home use, but it is not good for entertaining guests.In fact, in this era when recipes are carefully collected and passed down, most people are like this. The daily dim sum is made by their own cooks, and if they want to entertain guests, they have to buy it from dim sum shops.In addition, sugar at this time is not cheap, and desserts that require sugar and a variety of ingredients are even more expensive. Most of the daily use at home is small snacks such as rice cakes that do not need to add too much sugar.

"I've already bought it, so I'll go back first, and my cousin will take a look." Guo Xinlian has lived in Cheng's house for several years, but because he is a guest, Guo Xinlian seldom walks outside, and has no contact with Lu Han. many.

Lu Hanzhi nodded, watched Guo Xinlian leave, and then walked in with Princess Qingyun.It was the first time Princess Qingyun saw Guo Xinlian, she looked him over quietly, and after he left, she whispered to Lu Hanzhi, "So she is your cousin girl!"
