Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 404 Pastry

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Su Ziling led the crowd to Gusu to find all kinds of delicious snacks.

The horseshoe cake was the first delicacy that everyone tasted, although as early as Taizong's time, there was already this horseshoe cake.But tasting it in Gusu at this time is even more special.

The fragrance of the horseshoe and the softness of the pastry make everyone have a good aftertaste.

There are also Soviet-style square cakes, which are divided into large square cakes and small square cakes.

Dafang Cake tastes loose and glutinous, and there are four kinds of fillings alone. The Dafang Cake of Mince is white in color and has a variety of natural fragrances of nuts; It is green and has a clear fragrance; the bean paste is brownish black and has the fragrance of red beans.

The time has come to late autumn, when Ruyi Crisp, Chrysanthemum Crisp and Sesame Crisp Candy are on sale in Gusu.

At this time, people were gathering in front of the stall selling ruyi crisps, tasting the freshly fried ruyi crisps and listening to the stall owner bragging.

"My family's Ruyi crisps and chrysanthemum cakes are well-known in the entire Gusu city." The stall owner said with a smile, "Those who have tasted my home's pastry crafts have nothing to say bad about it. And my cousin's home, too. Those who make desserts, they make pastries and sugar, are also famous in this area. The ladies and ladies of Gusu City love to eat mung bean cakes and square cakes from my cousin’s house the most.”

Because Mi Xiaoye is not good at white cases, she pays attention to the way the stall owner makes Ruyi crisps.

"Boss, your wishful crisps are really delicious." Jun Yize praised.

"I also think it's indescribably crispy and sweet, and it's really the best snack I've ever eaten." Li Yu laughed.

Mi Xiaoye said: "I think the boss is good at craftsmanship. The cakes that have been sold for a lifetime are naturally handy in making them. Practice makes perfect."

"You know that practice makes perfect." Su Ziling said, "You just don't have the heat right now."

The stall owner was very happy to hear the appreciation from the diners, and brought out the new chrysanthemum pastry to entertain everyone.

At this time, eating chrysanthemum crisps shaped like chrysanthemums is also considered a good time.

Chrysanthemum crisps are fried with white flour mixed with white sugar, suet, green shreds, red shreds, rock sugar, cinnamon sauce, walnut kernels, cooked lard, etc.

From Mi Xiaoye’s point of view, the method is not difficult. The difficult part is to fold the dough into a fan shape, cut it into shreds with a knife, and make it into the shape of a chrysanthemum.

Mi Xiaoye smiled and asked, "Boss, do you have any other delicious snacks here?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "That's a lot. Our pastries in Gusu also have different seasonal varieties according to the seasons, including spring cakes, summer cakes, autumn crisps, and winter sugar. Spring cakes include wine glutinous rice cakes and snow cakes; Mint cakes, mung bean cakes, small square cakes; autumn crisps include Ruyi crisps, chrysanthemum crisps, clever crisps, and meringue mooncakes; Seasonal pastries."

"I didn't expect that Gusu's pastries are so particular. If allowed, I would like to settle in Gusu and taste the delicious pastries here all year round," Jun Yize said.

Su Ziling said: "In fact, Gusu's pastries are not limited to the season and occasion, but also have the unique flavor of Gusu. Gusu mooncakes around the Mid-Autumn Festival will be served with different fillings and flowers, so that the flavors are also unique."

"This distinguished guest knows he is an expert as soon as he hears the words." The stall owner praised.

Jun Yize asked with some regret and curiosity: "It would be great if we could come to Gusu in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we can still eat the mooncakes here. Ziling, what's so special about the mooncakes here?"
