Edo Traveler

Vol 5 Chapter 7: Raw Custard Roll as a Gift

"Is it a bachelor?" Tademon has been lingering on the ground in Edo for many years, so I still don't know.

   "That's not it!" Ajiu stuffed the purse into the placket and turned back to the kitchen.

   As we said before, there are a large number of land-lost peasants and floating people in Edo. They are either for survival or go to the city to help out during the slack. Anyway, they are all bachelors, living in the Chase shop in the long house. He never cooks, eats out three meals a day, and there is not even a woman in the family. There are many people in their 30s and 40s who have never tasted meat.

   Look at what Ajiu means, this clam vendor must take the money and throw it into the water. Comparing between drinking a pot of wine and tasting a meaty dish, it is actually a good choice for people in their thirties and without a wife.

   The top oiran can play twice with one or two gold. Ordinary people, those in their twenties and thirties, who are pretty old, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars can go happy once.

   "I have a personal hobby..." Chuemon thought.

   is just an episode, Chuemon still has to do his own business. Since Yinglong Jiang can give us big white bread, then we don’t need to give us any more boiled yellowtail, just give Nagasaki cake.

  Although this is a Nanban thing that can’t be served on the table in the eyes of the old-school Samurai Kamoto, even the fried shrimp tempura is given away. Why can’t the Nagasaki cake work? And we don’t have to send Nagasaki cakes, we can make some tricks.

   I rushed to a wagashi shop. The store said wagashiji, not wagashi. The name is short, but the level is much worse. Tomorrow's Japanese restaurant, as long as it is a high-end food pavilion, the wagashi provided must be made by the wagashi division. The Wagashi department is relatively more oriented towards civilians, even with a hint. I am a cheap workshop, and the taste is almost the same.

   The Nagasaki cakes that we ordered before were made in this shop. Their family also learned art from Nagasaki, and then settled in the old shop in Edo. In fact, it is more appropriate to call a foreign fruit shop, but after all, there are more people who eat Japanese fruit, and there is no foreign fruit guild, so it is still the main business of Japanese fruit.

   When I saw Chuemon, the owner knew that Chuemon came to order Nagasaki cakes. In light of today's time, it must be a big customer, who is old and enthusiastic.

   "Edogawa-sama can come to the shop, and it will be brilliant." The shopkeeper was also fluent and came up to greet him.

   "Can you make cakes a year ago? I'm going to take it as a gift for the New Year." Chungemon sat down carelessly. They are all regular customers, so they can just ask for their needs.

   "Thirty to fifty copies will be delivered to your house tomorrow."

   "Seventy copies, please prepare two more, just in case." There are sixty colleagues in Chuemon, plus a boss, and two of them to entertain at home. It takes almost 70 copies.

   "No problem, even if it is wrapped in a small body." As expected, it was a big business, and the owner was very happy.

Hachiro Amano on the side of    took out two gold small sentences, these two and two as a deposit, the rest can also be settled on a monthly basis, or the goods can be settled. The shopkeeper accepted the money and prepared to invite Chuemon to have a cup of tea, and then send off the guests.

   Chuemon didn't mean to leave, because this time Chuemon wasn't thinking about sending simple Nagasaki cakes. It's better to make some tricks. He remembered that there was a fancy "Floating Cloud Raw Milk Roll" in later generations. To put it bluntly, it was a Swiss cake roll. The cake was wrapped in cream, which was more delicious and rich in layers.

   The owner of the shop heard a brief introduction by Tademon Tademon, and he was able to understand the meaning of it, but there was a problem. Milk is easy to find, and the eighth-generation shogun Yoshizong has set up a cattle farm outside of Edo Castle, and even has a special dairy cow. But whipping milk into cream is not that simple. The shop owner knows how to whipped cream, but for the cream needed for 70 servings of raw milk rolls, the entire shop’s folks need to fight for three or four hours. It takes too much effort to bake a cake. Minger is afraid that she won’t be able to deliver it to Chungemon’s house early in the morning.

   This is fine, anyway, there are still three or four days before the New Year, and there is enough time.

   The two agreed, and Chungemon got up and left. He also needed to buy glutinous rice and go home to make rice cakes. Soybean flour, red bean paste, and other ingredients, Ajiu has already prepared at home. The mirror cakes needed for the consecration should be prepared quickly, and some citrus and candied fruits should be purchased. The preparations this year are almost the same.

   There are three big men in the family, especially two hunks who use knives. It’s not just a word to hit rice cakes. Hey, hey, it's over.

   The next day, Zhuliu also sent the New Year dishes. After all, it is the front of the Qianshiqi family. People usually give a dish, and their family sends a food box. Sixteen samples in three layers, with a full spectrum, nothing to say. Fortunately, we are just five hundred shi Zhixing, there is no need to do this step, otherwise just to cover the expenses of the facade, we don't know how much it will cost.

   At noon, the owner of the fruit shop also delivered raw milk rolls. According to the rules, I gave an extra one, which is considered to be a tasting. After unpacking the Kyotang paper, Tademon found that the boss was also very careful to cut the long cake roll~www.wuxiaspot.com~ One piece is divided into six pieces, which is very suitable for a family of five or six.

   Have a taste...

   I have to say that when Japanese make sweets, they are really willing to put sugar. Even though the poor cannot eat any sweets these days, even Chuemon, who is used to sweets, feels a little bit sweeter. It would be just right if it was served with tea. Probably this is also related to dim sum fruit mainly for refreshment, who knows.

   Yes, with the blend of cream, this roll cake is still good. Tadaemon ordered 20 more copies from the owner. Maybe there are some friends who need to give it away.

   As for Amano Hachiro and Terazawa Shintaro, let's run errands in the afternoon. Although most of the five hundred stone flag families live in the neighborhood, there are still more than sixty families. The door-to-door distribution is also a tiring task. It is also necessary to send three more copies to the Shimadzu clan residence, and the three fathers and sons cannot be less.

  Suke Liujia will also give a double portion. That kid is also a delicious person. I am afraid that giving one is not enough for him to be artificial. If Yoshida Shoin was there, he would also need to give him a copy. But this time the Maori family confessed that they gave up without taking him.

   Looking at the remaining copies, Tademon thought for a while. Basically everything that should be delivered was delivered. Even Egawa Hideryu and Sakuma Sangzan were delivered, so who else should also deliver a copy.

   Or send a copy to Maori’s house, no, it’s Yasuda’s house.

   Even if the business fails, the righteousness is still there. They almost married a daughter, didn't they?

   The New Year of the second year of Honghua (1845) is here...
