The dining room of the Fujiwara family.
The master Baian who is in charge of pastry is kneading the dough meticulously and smashing the chopping board.
A young apprentice walked straight in from the door with a jar in his arms, and gently placed the jar next to Master Bai's chopping board.
"Master, the flower sauce is here."
Master Baian gave up the position of kneading dough to the apprentice to continue to take over, came to the side and lifted the mud seal on the jar, and took a look at the fineness of the flower sauce.
The black-red flower jam has a gem-like luster and exudes the unique sweet smell of candied food.
Flower sauce is one of the main raw materials for making flower cakes, and it is extremely troublesome to make.
It is necessary to select the best petals from the picked petals, wash them repeatedly with spring water, then sprinkle a large amount of sugar to marinate them, and grind them into paste.
It is not until the finished flower sauce is filled with jars that it is sealed and placed in a cold cellar to ferment for a full month.
"Well, the fermentation is good this time."
Chef Bai An used chopsticks to pick out a little bit of flower sauce and tasted it after looking at the color and smell.
"The sourness is moderate, and the sweetness is a bit overdone. But after it is put into the cake, the sweetness is just right."
At this time, the apprentice also kneaded the dough into shape, put it into a basin and covered it with a cloth, waiting for proofing.
The apprentice was busy with the work at hand, and asked, "Master, why did you change to make flower cakes today? The original recipe is not this."
"Just now the big housekeeper sent someone to inform that there is a young lady who wants to learn how to make flower cakes."
As the pastry chef said, he prepared all the ingredients needed for a while, and taught his apprentices by the way.
"When working in a mansion, it doesn't matter what the original recipe is. You just need to remember that the first thing is to meet the requirements of the nobles."
"I see, master." The apprentice nodded again and again, and continued to help with work diligently.
Nowadays, in this increasingly difficult world, it is not easy to find a job to support a family.
In particular, it is even more difficult to be able to work in a family like Fujiwara House.
If you have nothing to do with the recruiting butler or have done management, then you are called by the big butler for your excellent skills.
Even if the master Bai An is this kind of capable person, the apprentice is also counted as a head and receives a salary because of the master's honor.
The aristocratic family has strict rules and many requirements, but even if it is hard and tiring, at least they can live comfortably, which is better than planing food in the ground.
After finishing all the preparations, Master Bai'an checked it carefully again to avoid any mistakes.
This is not the first time that Master Baihan has taught a nobleman how to cook. In the past, the Fujiwara family’s wife or young lady had done so on a whim.
After a while, the big butler brought the eldest lady over, and taught the nobleman how to stuff the flower sauce into the cake.
Then, he is still responsible for the follow-up tedious carving and baking work that is difficult to control the heat.
After it is out of the oven, take it to the big housekeeper, and he will personally deliver the flower cake to the eldest lady.
After that, whether the eldest lady wants to take it to honor the elders, or give it to her sweetheart is all right.
This is the so-called flower cake made by the young lady herself.
Or, to be more accurate, it is the flower cake that the eldest lady personally participated in making.
Master Baian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. You can't expect your wife and young ladies to learn from kneading dough and making a fire, right?
These are the things that servants should do, nobles who don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers will never let go of their dignity.
Besides, it is more important for one's skills to be recognized by nobles and big housekeepers than to compete with these useless names.
After receiving the news that everything was ready, the head housekeeper quickly brought Xixing Temple Youlian to the pastry yard of the dining room.
In order to create a good teaching environment, the kitchen has been cleaned first, and kitchen utensils and other items are placed in an orderly manner.
Except for the master who was in charge of teaching, and the apprentice who was in charge of laying hands, the rest of the pastry masters were driven to other yards.
The master and apprentice stood respectfully at the door of the kitchen, and when they saw the big housekeeper, they immediately bowed ninety degrees, fixed their eyes on the feet, and did not dare to look casually at all.
It was the first time Xihangsi Youlian saw a human kitchen, and was very curious about the various kitchen utensils and ingredients here.
The last time I saw the kitchen was in the Demon Village.
But in that kind of filthy place, Xixing Temple Youlian didn't even have the idea of staying for a second longer.
The butler glanced at the preparations in the kitchen, nodded in satisfaction, and asked Master Bai to start teaching.
Master Baian immediately started the detailed and appropriate teaching. After briefly introducing the method of making flower cakes, he started to demonstrate.
"That's it. Wrap the stuffing in the dough, put the mouth down on the chopping board and press it lightly, and then roll it into a cake shape with a rolling pin."
With sufficient control over the body, Xixingsi Youlian easily completed the imitation of the production technique.
But she was not satisfied with it, it was fine to give this kind of food to Youyouzi, but it seemed dishonest to give it to grandpa.
Although the old man doesn't care about those details, Xixingsi Youlian feels that since he wants to do it, he must do his best.
Not only does it have to be made from a series of materials from the spiritual world, such as Saikyo Demon's cherry blossoms, but all the processes required for production are completed by her own hands.
"How is this flower sauce made? There is also the dough. What I want to learn is the complete production method, not a certain step."
Master Bai An heard the words and looked at the chief steward, and the chief steward naturally would not object to Xixing Temple Youlian's request.
After receiving the signal from the butler, Master Bai An asked his apprentice to prepare a large number of petals.
Taking advantage of this time, You Lian of Xixing Temple began to learn the basics of pastry.
The sun was high, and Youyouzi poked his head out of the bed.
The sleepy-eyed girl yawned, sat up from the bed and stretched herself, rubbed her eyes and looked around, making a surprised sound.
"Eh? Where's You Lian?"
Chapter 567 Saigyouji Yuyuko’s new friend
Yuyuko was walking on Omiya Avenue, looking around at the bustling street scene.
It was the first time for the girl to go out on the street alone, and she used to be accompanied by her grandfather or You Lian of Xixing Temple.
But today, the old man of the mountain is still in retreat, and You Lian disappeared after waking up early in the morning, making You Youzi very depressed.
Today's Youyouzi is no longer the original Wuxia Amon.
Whether in terms of knowledge or character, Saigyouji Yuyuko is much more mature than she was a few months ago.
Coupled with the improvement of strength, and the guard of Xixing Yao.
As long as she doesn't encounter a veteran big monster like Yongye, Yuyuko can guarantee her own safety in Heian-kyo.
What's more, in the capital of a country like Heianjing, can wild big monsters pop up every now and then?
After breakfast at Fujiwara's house, the bored Yuyuko Saigyouji went out to satisfy her regret that she hadn't seen all of Heian-kyo last time.
The style of the entire Ping'an capital was modeled after Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
Taking the Suzaku-dori Road on the central axis of Heian-kyo as the dividing line, the square Heian-kyo is divided into two parts, the north and the south.
Straight and straight avenues divide Heian-kyo into squares and cities with different functions, and the Imperial Palace is located at the end of Suzaku avenue.
On the left and right sides of the Imperial Palace is the upper city, which is where the nobles and officials live. The Fujiwara family and the Tumimen family are all here.
Compared with the messy and dirty lower city, the public security and hygiene conditions in the upper city are obviously better by more than one grade.
There are not only strong and sharp soldiers patrolling according to the planned route, but also family warriors with swords on their waists to guard them, and even demon exorcisers are arranged.
Along the way, Saigyouji Yuyouzi never encountered any trouble or difficulty.
When encountering interrogation by someone, she only needs to show the token of the Fujiwara family, and the other person's arrogance will turn into panic, and let them go respectfully.
The simple Yuyuko didn't quite understand this.
Why are these big, thick, and menacing guys afraid of a small wooden sign?
Walking out of the strictly controlled Shangcheng District, what the girl saw was the noisy and chaotic streets of Fangshi, full of human fireworks.
However, Yuyuko Xixingji didn't find it very interesting.
Without Grandpa, You Lian, and other friends by my side, even if I want to share happy things, I can't do it.
"Hey, just take a look at it casually. When you are really bored, go back and continue to exercise the control of dead energy."
Youyouzi of Xixing Temple was still not willing to go back the same way.
After all, Ping An Jing was once the place she dreamed of when she was locked in the seal.
Although this place is not as perfect as imagined, but the white wall is still slightly flawed, Yuyuko feels that there is no need to be too demanding.
As the girl walked, she gradually left the downtown area and came to the riverside on the south side of Heianjing, where she saw a stone arch bridge spanning the two banks.
But under the shadow of the stone arch bridge, there was a girl who looked like an onmyoji sitting by the water with her knees hugged, staring blankly.
Youyuko Xixingji noticed her, and also smelled something strange from the breath of the other party's soul.
"It's such a deep sorrow and sorrow. Maybe as long as I encounter some unsatisfactory things again, I'm afraid I will do something unbearable."
Hideko Tsuchimikado came here unknowingly after leaving Ka Mosairen's residence.
This was the first time she had disobeyed her elders, and she did not go to the private school in the family to be a good girl as usual.
Eiko Tsuchimikado stared at the gurgling river, feeling a mess in her heart, as if thousands of threads were entangled together, and it was a mess.
Although He Maocai seemed very calm and composed, the girl was keenly aware of the hesitation in the other party's attitude and the insincere words in his words.
When the exorcising masters had an accident in Shikoku, Tsuchimikado Hideko woke up from a dream.
In the dream, the girl vaguely saw Tsuchimikado Mototora saying goodbye to her, and then turned into a terrifying big monster with two faces and four arms.
Later, Tsuchimikado Eiko witnessed shocking and bizarre scenes such as the collapse of heaven and earth, the bloodshed of gods, and the chaos of hundreds of ghosts.
When she woke up from her sleep, she felt as if she had just been fished out of the water, sweating profusely, flustered and short of breath.
In the practice world, dreams have always been a mysterious and magical realm.
So far, no cultivator has been able to break through all the mysteries of the dream.
Even Zhou Gong tried to interpret dreams on the basis of divination and divination.
In the practice of Onmyoji, there have always been related sayings about future vision and predictive dreams.
However, compared to methods such as divination and hexagrams, the conditions for practicing precognitive dreams are extremely complex and cannot guarantee stable triggering.
Even the Tsuchimikado family did not explain much about precognitive dreams and other content in the private school, and it was all anecdotes and disciples in the family.
Tsuchimikado Hideko felt that what she encountered might be a prophetic dream, but she didn't have any evidence to support what she saw and heard in the dream.
Therefore, she kept these things in her heart and never told anyone.
No matter from which point of view, Tsuchimikado Hideko hoped that her father would return safely.
Compared with the catastrophe of the sky falling apart and the gods falling, this is probably the easiest thing to confirm.
But now, the more the life and death of Mototora Tsuchimikado cannot be confirmed, the more Hideko Tsuchimikado feels tormented.
That kind of apocalyptic scene, just thinking about it can make you feel hopeless and terrifying. Will it really become like this in the future?
"Puff--!"
A stone fell into the river, and at the same time it splashed water, it also interrupted Hideko Tsuchimikado's thoughts, and she couldn't help but follow the prestige.
The strange cherry-haired girl walked towards the stone arch bridge along the river, picked up a stone from the ground from time to time, and threw it into the water for her own amusement.
Seeing someone approaching, Hideko Tsuchimikado stood up subconsciously, and instinctively arranged her appearance and appearance.
In order to maintain the reputation of the Tuyumen family, Tuyumen Hideko must not let others see her embarrassing and embarrassing appearance.
Forcibly suppressing the restless emotions, Eiko Tsuchimikado puffed up her cheeks, restoring the usual image of an elite onmyoji in the eyes of ordinary people.
There is a little defiantness in the arrogance, and there is some distance and alienation in the indifference.
However, Youyuko Xixingji didn't notice these details.
After approaching, she felt more intuitively the poor mental state of Eiko Tsuchimikado.
Perhaps, it only needs to use death energy to induce a little, and the opponent can throw himself into the river without any resistance, killing people invisible.
However, compared with easy destruction, it is still difficult to save, and it is more worthwhile for people to make efforts to try.
"Hello, do you want to go swimming together?" Youyuko Xihangsi smiled and invited: "I don't have any fun playing by myself, let's compete who can hit the farther water."
