"Sister Xiaocao, if I'm not mistaken, these fresh pastries are from your 'Yu Ji', right?" He Wanning sipped the feast of taste brought to her by tiramisu, her eyes narrowed like crooked eyes The little Crescent Moon looks like a full-fledged cat basking in the sun, with a contented expression on her face.
The lady on the nearby table listened to the conversation on the main table while tasting the delicious pastries.
Yu Xiaocao herself is more fond of the Black Forest cake. She swallowed the soft and rich cake, licked the chocolate on her lips with her pink tongue, and pretended to be mysterious: "Sister He, you guessed wrong this time!"
"How could this girl guess wrong? Besides Yu Ji, who else can make such authentic pastries? Are you counting on those old antiques in 'Daoxiang Village'?" "Daoxiang Village" was before the opening of Yuji Bakery, and He Wanning's first Favorite pastries. But when Yuji opened, she moved on and became the most loyal supporter of Yuji Pastry.
However, Yuan Xueyan took a piece of unremarkable chocolate and put it into her mouth, feeling the rich taste surging from the tip of her mouth and tongue, with a hint of bitterness and a strong sweet fragrance. Indulge in this taste experience.
Hearing what her friend said, she said calmly: "Sister Xiaocao means that the cakes are not produced by Yu Ji, but it does not mean that they are not credited to her. I guess, these pastries were made by Sister Xiaocao herself. Can't buy it."
"Sister Yuan is still so smart, my little sister even doubts that you have supernatural powers that can penetrate people's hearts!" Yu Xiaocao complimentedly took a bonbon chocolate, handed it to Yuan Xueyan, and watched her bite it. After tasting the sweet and greasy wine after the chocolate shell, his complexion changed instantly, and he smiled like a little squirrel who stole a pine nut. Xiaocao clearly knows that Yuan Xueyan doesn't like sweets, let alone the taste of wedding wine, she is deliberately tricking people!
Yuan Xueyan endured the taste of the double blow in her mouth, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to dilute the sweetness in her mouth, glared at the snickering little girl, snorted and said: "Bad girl, looking for a beating, right?" ?”
Princess Minglan was very surprised, what kind of candy could change the color of the glamorous beauty who has always been unattractive, and took a piece of chocolate with a wine heart and put it into her mouth.
"Huh? There is wine in it, it's sweet, and the taste is not bad! However, Sister Yuan hates the taste of wine the most, Sister Xiaocao, did you do it on purpose?" Princess Minglan tasted the sweet taste in her mouth. , looking at Yuan Xueyan gargling tea with some gloating.
Yu Xiaocao sighed and said, "In life, you have to be brave to try, be brave to challenge, and taste different experiences. I am helping sister Yuan realize a richer life!"
Yuan Xueyan picked up another piece of dark chocolate, put it in her mouth, tasted it slowly, and said slowly: "I'm angry! As an apology, you have to give me a box of these candies. Otherwise, don't ask me to forgive you!"
"And me, and me!! I want this kind of one with nuts, this kind of silky milk one, and I also want... What should I do? Sister Xiaocao, can you give me a box of each?" He Wanning was puzzled. The shameful friend pretended to beg for chocolate pie, so he rushed forward, took Xiaocao's hand, and kept shaking it.
The other little girls on the table also looked at Xiaocao with twinkling eyes, their expressions were self-evident. Xiaocao couldn't resist more than a dozen "staring" eyes, so she hurriedly cut the land to pay compensation, and promised to send two boxes of chocolates to each person. As compensation, Yuan Xueyan had an extra box of toffees than others.
The ladies at other tables were so envious that they almost got red eyes. Today, Prince Jing's Mansion entertained guests with two boxes of chocolates and two plates of pastries per table, but it couldn't hold up to the crowds. One or two pieces of chocolate per person was enough. Anyone who has tasted the taste of chocolate, there are few who do not fall in love with it. But Miss Yu also said just now that she couldn't even buy Yu Ji. After eating this time, I can only leave memories in the future, which feels really uncomfortable.
But Miss Yu's good sister at the main table has two boxes of chocolates as gifts. Both are guests at Prince Jing's Mansion, and both are the daughters of high-ranking officials in the court. Just because of their close relationship with Ms. Yu, they are treated so differently. I really envy you!
But there was nothing to be done about it, after all, the chocolates were not sent by Prince Jing's mansion, but the personal favor of Ms. Yu. This is also one of the reasons why many ladies want to enter that small circle. Who doesn't know that Miss Yu has always been generous to those close to her
But that small circle, not just anyone can fit in, and it's not easy to get Ms. Yu's approval. Usually, I saw that this little girl was kind to everyone, but there were only a few of them who treated each other sincerely from beginning to end.
In fact, after thinking about it, it's no wonder! Who would be sincere to someone who has other goals in mind? If you want to get a sincere relationship from others, you must first give your own sincerity. Who doesn't understand this truth
Later, it was Miss Yu Wanqing who asked what the other girls were thinking: "Sister Yu, when will these pastries, chocolates and candies be sold in 'Yu Ji'? Such delicious chocolates, I don't need two days alone I can eat it all, not to mention there are brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces at home, it’s not enough!"
In the Nuan Pavilion, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Xiaocao's answer.
Xiaocao also noticed the strangeness in the hall, and without thinking too much, she said with regret: "Whether chocolate, tiramisu, Black Forest cake... all need cocoa beans, a raw material brought back from the West. The cocoa beans brought back by the fleet are limited, and you can make some sweets and snacks by yourself. If you want to sell them on the market, I’m afraid they will be out of stock in less than a month. Therefore, I don’t plan to sell the pastries and candies here. The rest is for sale."
"Ah—" Yu Wanqing let out a disappointed scream. It is estimated that everyone here is in the same mood as her at this time, "Then I won't be able to eat such delicious and unique snacks from now on! What should I do?"
He Wanning put a piece of coffee candy in her mouth, chewed it loudly, and said with a smirk on her face: "What should I do? If you want to eat it, let's go to Sister Xiaocao's house to eat the big family together! If she dares to hide her secrets, Look at my itchy fingers!" As he spoke, he stretched out two index fingers, dangling in front of Xiaocao like a threat.
"Sister He, you've learned the word 'eating a big family'! I don't know if Princess Taichang will blame me for bringing you into the pit!" Yu Xiaocao thought of the famous ladies in Beijing, Being brought up to be full of country slang, I couldn't help laughing.
"My grandma is not willing to blame you! She often nags me and asks me to learn more from you. Don't act like a tomboy all day long and cause trouble everywhere. When did I get into trouble? I don't know who is it Her own granddaughter!"
Xiaocao has a special relationship with elders, Princess Taichang has a preference for her, and sometimes He Wanning, a granddaughter, is jealous. However, thinking of Yuxue's cute little nephew and niece at home, He Wanning felt relieved again. Being able to cure her elder brother's illness and solve a serious problem in the Marquis of Anding's residence, she is also willing to give half of her grandmother's love to younger sister Xiaocao.
Li Mengqi felt that her family background was far worse than the others present, sighed, and said: "The raw materials of these pastries and candies are so precious, even if they are sold on the market, they are not affordable for ordinary people!"
Although Li Mengru is a concubine in the family, she plays a role in "Hua Xiangrong", and her annual dividend is not a small amount. This little girl is the little god of wealth in the family! Hearing this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Sister, if there are some for sale, my sister will buy them for you!"
"That's great, my sister is waiting to hug your thigh, the little God of Wealth!" Li Mengqi's relationship with this concubine sister has become more and more intimate in the past two years, and there is a bit of intimacy in her words.
Yu Xiaocao watched the two sisters play with a smile, and then announced the good news: "The fact that these pastries won't be available this year doesn't mean they won't be able to eat them in the future!"
"What do you mean? The raw materials will be sufficient in the future?" Princess Minglan was also very concerned about this issue, and couldn't help asking.
Yu Xiaocao didn't keep her secrets anymore, and opened up and said, "The king of Yangjun opened up cocoa and coffee gardens on a certain southern island, and specially planted cocoa and coffee trees. After two or three years, these trees will almost grow Cocoa beans and coffee beans have been produced in large quantities, and the problem of raw materials will be solved by then, so don’t worry about eating chocolate mousse and Black Forest cake?”
He Wanning looked very happy: "It will take another two or three years! I don't care, in these two or three years, you have to be mentally prepared, I will kill you from time to time, and prepare delicious snacks and candies, Otherwise... hum!"
Yuan Xueyan poured cold water on her: "Sister Xiaocao is already sixteen this year. According to the best marriage age for Daming women at eighteen years old, she will be married in two or three years. You have already become Ma Yingjie's wife, you How dare you go to Sister Xiaocao's in-law's house for the sake of stuttering?"
Xiaocao organized several gatherings, and that guy Ma Yingjie always came over to get involved. After going back and forth, for some reason, He Wanning and this little pepper became a pair of happy friends. The marriage of the two has been settled, and at the end of this autumn, they will be able to drink their wedding wine.
"What's wrong? That fellow Ma Ying-jeong is close friends with King Yang, and Sister Xiaocao and I are good sisters. Even after we get married, our relationship will not change. I will visit, King Yang Can you still drive me out?" He Wanning thought of Zhu Junyang's stern icy face, and her heart was agitated, a little uncertain.
"Sister Yu, you really plan to marry Prince Yang. His face is scary, do you want to think about it again?" Yu Wanqing also saw Zhu Junyang, just like a mouse seeing a cat. Although King Yang is treating Sister Yu very well so far, if Sister Yu accidentally offends him in the future, can Sister Yu's small body withstand being pinched by his fingers
