Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 406 Four Seasons Flower Cake

In the evening, Su Ziling knocked on Mi Xiaoye's door.

Seeing Su Ziling coming, Mi Xiaoye still felt a little unnatural.But he quickly changed his expression and asked, "Master came to see me so late, what's the matter?"

"Mi Xiaoye, what are you doing?" Su Ziling asked.

Mi Xiaoye said: "I was thinking, seeing a lot of pastry making today, so I also want to practice my hands. I just don't know what to do."

Su Ziling said with satisfaction: "Master, I have already guessed your thoughts, so I will tell you what to do."

"What?" Mi Xiaoye asked.

Su Ziling said: "In autumn, hundreds of flowers are killed. If you can make cakes in the shape of hundreds of flowers, it will definitely attract people's attention."

"The shape of flowers?" Mi Xiaoye hesitated, "But, my white table skills are not good, I'm afraid I can't make the shape of hundreds of flowers."

Su Ziling said: "It's because it's not good that you need to practice more. Wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to practice your skills?"

Mi Xiaoye smiled and said, "I see, thank you Master for your guidance."

Su Ziling nodded in satisfaction and said, "But don't be too discouraged. Master will watch you do it tomorrow and guide you."

Mi Xiaoye suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Master, you are well-informed, but have you ever heard that there is a boat station in Gusu?"

"Boat point?" Su Ziling frowned, "I've never heard of it as a teacher. Is it also a kind of pastry?"

Su Ziling hadn't heard of it, but the big merchant didn't have a ship.Mi Xiaoye had only heard of the boat spot, but she didn't know that the boat spot only existed in the Ming Dynasty.

Mi Xiaoye nodded and said: "Yes, it is also a representative of Su-style pastry. Rice flour and flour are used to knead various animals and plants, and they are named after they are served as snacks on various cruise ships. The fillings ordered by the boats are sweet. The ones include rose, bean paste, sugar oil, date paste, etc. The salty ones include ham, scallion oil, chicken, etc.”

Su Ziling nodded, fell silent for a while, and said, "Hearing you say that, I am enlightened for you. Mi Xiaoye, you always surprise people without knowing it."

Mi Xiaoye blushed and lowered her head.

Su Ziling coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Think about it carefully, I'm leaving as a teacher."

After Su Ziling left, Mi Xiaoye thought about how to make this Hundred Flower Cake.The flowers that bloom in four seasons are different, why not use the four seasons as the dividing line and make desserts of the flowers that represent each season?

After Mi Xiaoye made up her mind, she sorted it out.Peach Blossom Cakes and Begonia Cakes are used in spring, lotus flower cakes and jasmine cakes in summer, osmanthus cakes and chrysanthemum cakes in autumn, and plum cakes and camellia rolls in winter.

After thinking it over, Mi Xiaoye carefully thought about how to make these eight pastries, and noted down all the difficulties, and prepared to solve them in the actual operation tomorrow.

Unknowingly, it was almost midnight, and Mi Xiaoye fell asleep while blowing on the lamp.

Early the next morning, Mi Xiaoye reported the ingredients needed to make these pastries to the people in the post house. After lunch, the people in the post house bought and delivered the materials.

All afternoon, Mi Xiaoye stayed in the kitchen, studying the recipe of Four Seasons Flower Cake.

When Jun Yize heard that Mi Xiaoye was going to make his own snacks, he was very much looking forward to it. He only ate dinner today and kept his stomach waiting for Mi Xiaoye's snacks.

Likes to eat meat and Li Yu also looks forward to Mi Xiaoye's craftsmanship, not to mention Jun Yijing.

After listening to Mi Xiaoye's ideas, Su Ziling agreed that she would classify them according to the seasons and make cakes in the shape of flowers that bloom in different seasons.

Mi Xiaoye also starts with peach blossom crisps and crabapple crisps.Su Ziling stood by, ready to guide Mi Xiaoye at any time.But in his mind he was thinking about the boat spot that Mi Xiaoye mentioned last night.
