Chapter 659 Delicious Desserts Should Be Appropriate
"Why did Tong Mingli come here suddenly?"

"The brides-to-be of the Pomegranate Society also want to join in the fun."

"You promised?"

"I agreed, why not? If you want to keep Miss Tong's interest in you, you have to give her a chance to see you. Otherwise, if the feelings fade away, this beauty plan will fail completely."

"Is that how you sold me?"

"You were very active in seducing people before."

"The Pomegranate Society is full of engaged girls. Doesn't this force us bachelors to stay in the camp during the day?"

"That's right, so that you can go hunting foxes hard." Bai Kou stretched out two fingers with both hands, "The plan has been achieved."

"Since I'm not in the camp, Tong Mingli still wants to see me?"

"You can come back earlier. It's getting dark early now. Isn't it normal for you to hunt foxes in the mountains and come back before dark? But Ms. Tong and the others may not be able to leave in time. You will take the initiative to send the prey to the kitchen , won’t there be a chance to meet you?”

"You have more ideas."

Gu Yun giggled, rubbed the tip of Bai Kou's nose, and sneaked a kiss along the way.

Bai Kou gave him an elbow without hesitation, which made Gu Yun grin his teeth, while she smugly slid down on his knees, leaving the tent with all her clothes and hair on her face.

A little later, the bachelor brothers who were in the same small camp came back one after another. When they were sitting in the restaurant waiting for their meal, they heard from Gu Yun that starting from tomorrow morning and afternoon, girls would come to learn cooking skills from Bai Kou. His face was all gray.

"This is to prevent us from staying in the camp during the day."

"Let's go hunting foxes. This year, only five young foxes survived. If we don't hurry up and add some big foxes, when will we be able to make money from fur."

"Okay, okay, just treat it as a good relaxation."

Brothers and sisters had no choice but to accept their fate.

The next morning, the winter hunting ceremony officially started under the auspices of the sage. After Gu Yun and the others set off with the main force, they went up to the mountain on the other side in hunting outfits. They did not walk the same path as the main force, otherwise even a rabbit would be killed. Can't catch it.

Not long after Gu Yun left, Tong Mingli brought the girls from the Pomegranate Society in several carriages, and the ingredients and tools were fully prepared, just more and no less.

The kitchen is the busiest in the morning, and the distributed ingredients have to be sorted and organized while they are fresh, so the big kitchen table is occupied. Fortunately, the dining room is all set up. Several square tables are put together to form a long table, and the girls stand on one side. Standing in a row is equivalent to using a square table for one person, with a maidservant at the side, and the others watching around, while Bai Kou stands on the other side of the table and guides them face to face.

Bai Kou wanted to teach them some new snacks, looked at the ingredients they brought, picked out crispy apples and jam, and small green fruits used as natural sour juice, and taught the girls how to make seasonal crispy roll.

The girls work together in a division of labor, using an apple peeler to peel and remove the core of the apples. After separating the fruits, they just follow the shape and then change the knife into thin slices. Then they set up a tea stove with a small pot on it, and put the apple slices and green juice in the pot all the time. , add a few grains of aniseed ingredients from overseas, add half a cup of tea to boil, remove and let it cool for later use.Cut the puff pastry into long strips about the same width as the apple slices, then carefully spread the apple slices on top, brush with different jams according to each person's taste, and carefully roll them up. After rolling up, it will look like a Chinese rose from the top shape.

The oven can be preheated at the same time as the roll is shaped, then put into the cake mold, spray some water on the top, and put it in the oven for two quarters of an hour. After it comes out, it will be a burnt yellow rose meringue roll.

The girls excitedly shared the fresh snacks they made, but because of the different jams they used, there were so many flavors. Some meringue rolls tasted good, and some tasted a bit too sour. The girls put the bad taste Pick out the jam and don't use it for baking desserts next time.

Bai Kou cooked a pot of vanilla milk tea on the tea stove to go with the rose pastry rolls, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold a tea party.

While eating and chatting, everyone talked about the new women's tea room that is being rebuilt in the front alley of Zhou's house. They hope to have a big kitchen. In the future, their girls' platter banquet will be held in the women's tea room. Invite them to participate.

Bai Kou smiled and agreed to all of them. The women's tea room is naturally a small world for women, and men are not allowed to dirty that small paradise.

While chatting and laughing happily, the snacks and tea were all swept away unconsciously, and it was getting late after cleaning up. Bai Kou sent them out, and lunch began to be made in the kitchen. I went hunting foxes down the mountain, and I won't come back for most of the day.

The masters are not here, so there is no need to do too many tricks for lunch. After eating early and taking a lunch break, the saint is still waiting to serve tea.

After taking a good nap and finishing dressing up, the carriage that came to pick him up just arrived, and he went to the imperial camp without any delay.

Same as yesterday, Bai Kou served whatever tea was on the tea table. The main difference was in the tea set and water temperature. The tea tray was placed on the sage's table step by step. The sage drank the first cup and drank another Long breath.

"Little girl."

"The servant is here."

"Will Princess Jingyun still want to learn dim sum from you later?"

"In the past few days in Dongshou, the princess will come to learn dim sum from the slaves."

"Teach her a few salty ones. I couldn't eat more than ten bowls of that custard pudding this morning. I'm already old, and I can't stand sweets. My throat and eyes are still flustered."

"Yes, this servant understands." Bai Kou lowered her eyes and looked calm.

The saint nodded in satisfaction, and asked Bai Kou to retreat after finishing his tea.

Bai Kou was invited to Queen Ye's phoenix tent as soon as she got out of the tent. Gong Jingyun was already fully dressed and was waiting for her. Puff pastry rolls, this matter has spread among the female relatives.

"I also want to learn that pastry roll, shall we make this in the afternoon?"

"Princess, this meringue roll needs to be brushed with jam or honey. I heard that you made a lot of pudding this morning, and have you finished it?"

Empress Ye burst out laughing, Gong Jingyun stuck out her tongue, her eyes rolled wildly.

"Our little princess made desserts by herself, but she was not good at arithmetic, and she made a wrong calculation, and made too much at once. This morning, I feel that the imperial camp is full of the sweet smell of pudding."

Thinking about the scene described by Queen Ye, Bai Kou couldn't help laughing, slightly bent the corners of his mouth, and quickly maintained a calm expression.

"Princess, sweets are delicious, but too much will make you tired, why don't we make salty ones this afternoon?"

"Is it complicated to do?"

"A five-fruit duck dish needs to fry the marinated duck meat in a pan, and then roast it. It is more complicated to make. Another Ruyi egg roll is made with minced fish and finally steamed in a pan. It is relatively easy. Princess Pick one?"

Gong Jingyun blinked, a little hesitant and didn't know which one to choose, but Queen Ye had her own ideas.

"These two dim sums are not easy to learn. The duck meat needs to be fried first and then baked, and the egg rolls need to be minced fish first. This has to be done in advance. How can I learn it this afternoon? Bai Kou, there are other choices Is it?"

"If there are big steamed buns for overnight, there is a simple and easy-to-learn snack that can be used for breakfast, but it's not fried steamed buns. That's too simple and nothing new."

Empress Ye immediately sent the little eunuchs to the imperial kitchen to ask, and they brought back a basket of big steamed buns, but they were leftovers from breakfast. Fortunately, it is cold now, and the steamed buns have become dry since early morning.

While waiting for the steamed buns, the noble ladies who accompanied Gong Jingyun came to gather one after another. Bai Kou asked them what ingredients they brought, and left a few, and asked their servants to take the rest.

After the steamed buns were brought, everyone resigned as the queen and left happily with Bai Kou.
