Jinghua little cook

Chapter 10

Speaking of the taste of Chengsha, Aunt Li remembered that when she was young, she traveled around Qingzhou, and the bean paste buns made by a small tavern on the post road were particularly delicious.

"The owner of the store peeled the red beans and washed them again and again, and then steamed them the next day and then mixed them with white sugar. The warm aroma of red beans and the sweet aroma of white sugar merged and collided, and finally put them in a casserole and boiled slowly over low heat, so that they were slowly combined. The taste is sweet but not greasy, with endless aftertaste—”

"Then the owner of the shop really has a good temper." Lu Xiling sighed with fascination.

In her previous life, she had a pressure cooker and a wall-breaking machine in her private kitchen, but she was still tossed by Chengsha enough. The owner of the shop made the red bean paste that Aunt Li has never forgotten for 20 years, which is really admirable.

"The girl has a good temper, this Xuemei Niang is exquisite and pleasing, Shangsi will definitely sell for a good price."

Lu Xiling returned the gift and said: "There is a well-known lady in the capital guarding my little girl, this Xue Meiniang will definitely not embarrass my little girl!"

The two laughed together.

After complimenting each other for a while, Lu Xiling introduced the remaining cakes to Aunt Li, including apricot flower cake, yam and peach blossom cake, and wormwood dumplings for the Qingming Festival.

Aunt Li tasted it all, and repeatedly praised the fruit for its good color and fragrance, which will definitely be liked by the diners.

"It's just..." Aunt Li thought for a while and suggested, "The fruit tastes good, but the name is not satisfactory."

Pointing to her own flowers, she said, "For example, my crabapple. When I introduce it to guests, I can't just call it crabapple, I have to call it rich crabapple! Your fruit also means the same thing!
On the Shangsi Festival, most of the people visiting the Luoshui Bridge are young masters and young ladies from the Gaomen compound. Although the name Xue Mei Niang sounds interesting, it does not suit the preferences of literati. "

Lu Xiling suddenly realized.

The matter of naming was due to her lack of consideration, and she did not assert and handle things from the standpoint of the ancients.

Aunt Li is right, since she positions her fruit as a mid-to-high end, the scholars and ladies in the high-end courtyard are naturally her consumer group, and only by catering to the needs and preferences of the consumer group can they drive their interest. Consumption.

Lu Xiling looked at Aunt Li happily, Jiang was still hot, not only commented on the fruit, but also helped her think out the marketing strategy.

It's just a name, Lu Xiling can't be troubled, although most of the knowledge learned in the highest imperial academy, Guozijian, has been returned to Jijiu, but fortunately, our foundation is not bad.

After the meal was settled, the two talked about drinking again.

Peach Blossom Soup is indispensable. Lu Xiling has long decided that Peach Blossom Snow Meiniang and Peach Blossom Soup will be bundled into a set meal. As long as the price is reasonable, it will not be easy to overstock later.

Aunt Li nodded and said: "The Spring Festival is dry, so I still need to prepare some nourishing food for Yinzi. It is best to nourish the liver and improve eyesight."

There are many people who believe in me, how good it is to keep in good health.

Lu Xiling also decided to accept this suggestion.

When the discussion was almost over, Lu Xiling was about to say goodbye, the Shangsi was coming, and she had to make drinks when she went back.

Aunt Li didn't intend to keep her any longer, and the two of them broke up as soon as they said it, adhering to the principle that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

But this time Lu Xiling clearly saw that Aunt Li was hiding something in her heart, and her eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball.

"Auntie, let's talk if you have something in your heart. We have to talk outside. If we talk outside, I won't be ashamed to let my aunt taste the dishes in the future."

All along, Aunt Li seldom asked others for anything, even if it was her neighbors who had been with her for many years, she would not bother others.

Today, she was really fascinated by the food.

Aunt Li apologized: "Actually, it's not a big deal. If you're busy, just pretend I didn't mention it!"

Lu Xiling smiled, and sat down again, "Auntie, tell me quickly."

Aunt Li coughed twice, and told the whole story: "Didn't you say that you planned to go to the temple fair to set up a stall on the Buddha Bathing Festival? It happened that Fa'en Temple was going to preside over the ceremony that day, and the abbot of his family knew me well. A month ago, I was asked to help find a master of the white case...I..."

Every year, incense will be opened in the temple to make friends and hold fasting meetings. The nobles who enter the temple will pay a "will print money" for chanting scriptures and eating fast, and some extra "payment money" for staying overnight.

However, not all temples are full of incense. How many nobles can be attracted to offer incense money? The taste of vegetarian dishes is very important.

"I've tried many restaurants in the past few days, but none of them are half as good as what you made today. I really can't find them, and it's hard to turn down the abbot's favor."

Thinking of this incident, Aunt Li felt embarrassed, she shouldn't have agreed so simply at that time.

Lu Xiling nodded clearly.

"it is good."

Aunt Li's voice became weaker and weaker, and she was completely immersed in her own troubles. When she heard the other party's answer suddenly, she thought she was listening.

"What did you say?"

Lu Xiling smiled, "I said I'll go back and ask Erniang what she means, but I think Erniang will agree."

She has often brainwashed Hu Erniang recently, showing her affection and motivating her with small money. After a few times, Erniang's desire to make money has become stronger than before.

Fearing that Lu Xiling's brain would get hot, she agreed casually, Aunt Li quickly reminded: "Don't rush to answer me, you go back and think about it first, at most the temple can give you a flower basket money, and the money is light in your hands." Yes, I'm afraid even your hard-earned money won't be enough!"

Lu Xiling Liwo Qianqian: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as doing a good deed and forming a good relationship."

By the way, it can also promote it in front of the nobles.

Fa'en Temple is a large temple worshiped by hundreds of officials in the capital. Every year, the female relatives of the royal relatives and relatives add incense money and sculpt golden bodies to the temple.

This Buddha Bathing Festival is estimated to be no exception.

Aunt Li is not begging her to do something here, it is clearly that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders' fields.

After discussing a win-win result, Lu Xiling really couldn't stay any longer.

Hu Erniang came back late today, and there was still a bean sprouts at home waiting to be fed.

Aunt Li happily sent him out the door.

It was only about ten steps away to go home, and Lu Xiling arrived home in the blink of an eye.

At just the right time, the evening drums were knocked out, and the sky began to drizzle again.

The drizzle was silent, and the rolling wheels passed by. The man in the carriage was resting on the wall with his eyes closed, but when he came here, he seemed to remember something, and opened the curtain with his callused thumb.

There are few pedestrians on the street, the lanterns are flickering, and the mist rising from the ground is as thick as distant mountains that cannot be melted away.

He saw Linglong's back bouncing into the shop, and the center of his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Poisoned wine is the last dignity that the father gave to that cousin of the first emperor, and not killing the innocent people in the palace is the last benevolence that the father gave to the Zanying Lu family.

But her cousin, aunt, relatives, and those who might threaten the Bai family's throne were all sent back to Sichuan, and she was the only one left out.

Bai Ye let out a sneer as he dropped the curtain in anger.

This man is really heartless.

She looks so happy now, doesn't she miss that cousin who is considerate and caring for her, who has put her in his heart for many years, and misses her like crazy?
