I rely on food to guide the whole harem

The milk tea business has been booming for a few days, and it is beginning to slow down.

Tang Yinjiang thought, it's time to add new varieties, and what can keep a store going for a long time is to innovate.

The cassava that has been soaked for a few days is ready to use, and the lychee seeds are also found, and the pudding milk tea and taro ball milk tea are started!

Fructus Lizi is a plant seed that can be used to make ice powder, and there is pectin in it to have a solidification effect.

Put the Fructus Lizi seeds into the gauze, wrap the Gauze Fructus Lizi seeds into the water and knead them gently. After washing half a cup of tea, you will get a pot of light yellow and slightly thick liquid. When you pick it up with your hands, it will be like silk It flows down slowly.

One is mixed with milk to make a pudding, and the other is mixed with brown sugar syrup to make brown sugar ice powder.

Put it in a sealed basin and add ice cubes, and it will take two hours to form.

Then take taro, purple potato, and sweet potato, wash and cut into pieces, put them in a steamer, steam them, and press them into a fine mud. Add tapioca flour and stir, knead them into balls and cut them into small pieces. Cook them in a pot to form taro balls.

And after Lichun was driven to the Huanyi Bureau, no one stopped her from using the oven room, and the meringue tarts and taro matcha cake rolls that had been waiting for a long time were also made.

Then use the [Aseptic Food Box] fermented milk to make cheese, and the new products in the next issue have been announced.

After Tang Yinjiang had done all this, he planned his own small business.

She used a thin bamboo stick dipped in ink to draw a few cartoons of dessert milk tea on the bamboo slices, and asked someone to order ten booklets outside the palace, stating the several milk tea and desserts that can be provided to the concubines now.

I have to say that the person in this booklet is a talented person, who perfectly reproduced the twists and turns of Tang Yinjiang's paintings on the bamboo slices, and the booklet has the fun of cartoons.

This day, the big maid who helped her ladies come to the imperial dining room to buy milk tea, the little maid saw that the person who was in charge of the spoon had an ambiguous smile, and while laughing, took a thick stack of booklets from the side dish shelf, and handed them Give them, Shi Shiran said:

"This is the menu of our store. Please bring it back to the girls. It contains all the current beverage and dessert catalogs. I have added new products and the next new product preview."

"menu?"

"She really opened a milk tea shop in the palace?"

Concubine Ning was surprised when she heard what the maid brought back, and Concubine Shu was also surprised, and then said with a smile:

"That's much easier to handle, but she has figured out a lot of new things."

With Concubine Shu by her side, Concubine Ning was not easy to put on airs and asked the maid to hand over the brochure.

On the gold-rimmed cover, the title "Milk Tea Shop" was written with a Chinese ink brush, which is quite impressive.

When I opened the booklet, the first thing I saw were small paintings with strange shapes. Although the lines were weird, they were kind of childlike, cute and tight, and the meaning could be seen at a glance.

"Pudding milk tea, taro ball milk tea, taro milk tea, original milk tea... taro matcha cake rolls, crispy pumpkin, popcorn, egg tarts, spicy sticks... new cheese berries, cheese grapes coming soon..."

"There are really not many types, but the names are strange..."

After watching it for a while, Concubine Ning couldn't help but said that the daily dishes in the imperial dining room are nothing more than the usual meat and vegetables, plus seasonal river fresh seafood, either steamed or boiled.

There are no new methods, fresh flavors, and the name will come up backwards. From "emerald white jade" and "glass hoof" to "little lotus just showing its sharp corners" and "jasper makeup as tall as a tree", they are all good pictures. Caitou, in fact, is still the same dish.

"Is this another name-changing gimmick by the imperial kitchen envoy?"

"If you don't cook Tian Tian Cai well, you will know how to use these useless tricks."

"Sister Concubine Ning is serious. There is nothing I can do about it in the imperial dining room. Palace people live in the palace, so they are naturally cautious and keep the first. You and I are in high positions, so we should be considerate of the subordinates."

Since there were not many dishes, Concubine Ning ordered the ones on the list. She didn't pay much attention to such a small amount of money, and besides, this was a guest at Concubine Shu's, so she couldn't lose face.

The maid came back with a small charcoal stove as Tang Yinjiang said, and put the small cup of milk tea on the charcoal stove to warm it carefully.

As soon as it was heated, there was already a strong fragrance coming from the gap in the lid. It seemed that the taste was really good.

Afterwards, a plate of pudding and a bowl of ice powder were placed in front of Concubine Shu, with exquisite and compact shapes.

"What kind of novelty is this?"

"Back to the empress, the master said that this is an 'addition' that can be eaten with milk tea, or it can be used as a dessert alone."

Concubine Shu first took a sip of each, and it tasted good, so she asked the maid to put the two desserts into small cups of milk tea.

As soon as the cover is lifted, the mellow and sweet smell of milk tea disperses, and being in it seems to be surrounded by a kind of sweet happiness.

Scoop a spoonful of pudding, the smooth and tender taste is wrapped in milk, revealing a dark fragrance, subtle and shy, and the milk sandwich leads to a light aftertaste.

Scoop another spoonful of taro balls, the aroma of milk tea soaks into the taro balls, lingering on the tip of the nose for a long time, the taro balls are full and elastic, and slightly sticky to the teeth when eaten, soft and smooth in taste, with a mellow taste Milky, slowly sprouting in the mouth.

Drink a few more sips of milk tea, the satisfaction brought by the sweets is delicate and long, and the years are quiet and good.

It's just a small booklet, but the commotion was so loud that the whole harem was shaken by it, and they all felt that this palace lady in the imperial dining room was really daring.

Although His Majesty allowed the concubines to order food in the Imperial Dining Room for a change of taste out of their private treasury, no one had ever dared to put out the menu so boldly, as if they wanted to open a shop in the Imperial Dining Room.

Hmm... But the concubines said that they liked it a little bit.

As for Tang Yinjiang at the center of the incident, he brought all the products on sale and went to find Concubine Xiang.

Liu Cairen was promoted to Concubine Liu, but still lived in the Palace of Chuiliu. She was always afraid that the conflict between Concubine Xiang and Concubine Liu would intensify, and Concubine Liu would be bullied in the Palace of Chuiliu.

"Concubine Xiang, my servant has brought you some new refreshments."

Concubine Xiang didn't want to see her at first, but what Bai Lu said was right, Concubine Liu suddenly came to power, there must be something wrong, if she wanted to find out the news, she still had to look at this servant girl.

So Tang Yinjiang was led into the inner room, and before he could utter the words of pleasantries that he had prepared, he was asked bluntly by Concubine Xiang.

"I see that Concubine Liu's complexion has become fairer recently, and you are always hanging around her, but what do you know?"

Concubine Xiang is really unpretentious, just ask her like this, do you think she will tell the truth?

Tang Yinjiang replied: "That's the method that the servants learned from other imperial cooks outside the palace. It is said that a cup of light salt water every morning can cleanse the body and mind, and make the skin white and smooth. If you are interested, you can give it a try."

When Concubine Xiang asked herself, she felt uncomfortable when she heard people say that she wanted to try it, as if she was not confident enough about her appearance if she tried it.

"With the appearance of this palace, do you still need these folk remedies? Go down."

As soon as the words fell, several palace maids wanted to drive Tang Yinjiang out of the main hall, Tang Yinjiang said quickly: "My lady, here are some new products, all the ladies in the palace like it very much, I hope my lady can give the slaves a chance."

I just asked someone about the whitening recipe, and it seemed a little unreasonable to refuse the favor, "Bai Lu, take it."

When Tang Yinjiang turned around and went to Concubine Liu in the side hall, Bai Lu opened the food box and took out some snacks and drinks inside, and there was a small card for convenience.

[Our store operates all kinds of drinks and desserts, constantly introducing new ones, welcome all ladies to send palace people to order dishes, Tang Yinjiang in the imperial dining room]

Concubine Xiang:? ? ?

"She always has novel ideas..." Concubine Xiang didn't know how to evaluate this little card anymore.

Seeing that they were mostly milk tea and desserts, Bai Lu knew that her mother didn't like sweets, so she asked Concubine Xiang for instructions: "My lady, do you want to remove these for my lady?"

Concubine Xiang glanced at the desserts and said disapprovingly, "I reward you."

After all the desserts were removed, the spicy aroma of the spicy strips was highlighted. Concubine Xiang took a breath quietly, "Slow down."

"Leave this."

so spicy!

The strong spicy taste, domineering and vigorous, rushed straight into the heart of Concubine Xiang.

It's this taste, the taste of spicy rice oil. When I was a child, my aunt often secretly gave it to her to eat, and then my mother scolded me.

My mother said that it was the lowly poor who had never eaten good food and didn't know how to taste it, so they came up with a way to eat. We noble girls, eating these heavy foods is extremely indecent.

Her aunt came here as a refugee. She was short of food and clothing along the way, so she came here relying on the taste of her hometown. She was beautiful and became Su Shangshu's concubine by chance. With some means, she was finally favored.

My aunt couldn't listen to what her mother said to belittle the taste of her hometown, so she just wanted to feed her behind her back.

Maybe because she is the daughter of my aunt, she fell in love with this taste since she was a child.

Later, when His Majesty drafted a talent show, every official had to have a daughter in their family. Originally, the mother had already prepared all the preparations for the first sister to enter the palace, but in the end, the superiors quietly passed on the word that His Majesty is very beautiful and wants the most beautiful in the family. daughter.

The first sister thought that her appearance was not inferior to hers, but her father's eyes were sharp, so he immediately decided to change her into the palace.

Before leaving, my aunt was both reluctant and proud, watching her with red eyes but refused to shed tears.

My aunt said that when she entered the palace, she would fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and she would have a lot of voice at home with her.

But those sisters who were jealous of her said that there were so many wronged souls in the palace, and with Su Xiaowan's unpleasant personality, she would die within two years after entering the palace, and might even bring trouble on the family.

She just didn't believe it, the aunt could hold her father firmly at home, and she would be prosperous in the palace.

But after four years in the palace, in the end, she neither became a phoenix nor a ghost.

Your Majesty is so beautiful, the beauties in the palace are like a cloud, she also enjoyed a good time when she first entered the palace, and rose all the way to the concubine position, and there is also the Weeping Willow Hall specially named for her.

But then the concubine Yue came, and there was another Moon Palace.

Later, Liu Cairen moved in, and the name of her Weeping Willow Palace became a complete joke.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xiang twitched into a sneer, and went to the back fence outside and sat down.

Hmm... the sky looks a little dull today.

"Bai Lu, bring me the spicy strips."
