Before Rourou could react, Liu Heng spoke again: "Oh, by the way, it's the end of summer, and the Western Regions just paid tribute yesterday with a lot of grapes, sweet honey! I ordered someone to fetch them, Yunluo, you Yu Wenrou Half for one person, so you can enjoy it. I still have something to do, so I will go back first, and I will come to see you later!" After Liu Heng finished speaking, he got up and left.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Rou Rou finally came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly bowed down to send it off respectfully.
"Father, go slowly!" Princess Yunluo said crisply while sitting on the bed.
Although the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty said that the reward of grapes is half for each person, how much is this half? It wasn't until the purple and black grapes were delivered to the eyes that Wen Rou realized it!
The entire Guixia Hall is full!
Even the air is filled with the unique sweetness of grapes from the Western Regions!
"It's so sweet!" Princess Yunluo couldn't help but reached out and picked one off, and put it in her mouth.
A hint of rich sweetness instantly melts into the tip of the tongue, after chewing twice, even the skin and seeds are all smooth in the mouth, making people want to stop!
"It's really sweet!" Ruan also tasted one, she had never tasted such a sweet grape.
"There are so many grapes, even if you eat them, you can't finish them!" Princess Yunluo said non-stop.
"That's right... This grape is a seasonal fruit, and the grapes in the Western Regions are only available in this season! It would be a pity if it was spoiled..." Wenrou murmured to herself.
Is there a way to preserve grapes for a long time? Or let the delicious taste of grapes appear in another long-lasting form
Gentle fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a wonderful idea jumped into her mind.
"Princess, please wait!" She blinked gently and smartly.
Immediately beckoned to ask the maids of the Guixia Palace to help, and carried one of the baskets of grapes into the small kitchen of the Guixia Palace.
The fire under the stove is booming, and a large pot is set up on the stove.
Put all the washed grapes into the pot. Boil without water.
As the temperature continued to rise, the grapes in the cauldron began to undergo strange changes.
Gone were the dark purple grapes in the pot, replaced by amber stickiness.
It was grape juice boiled at high temperature. The thick ones are stirred gently and vigorously.
In the crystal cauldron, sweetness overflows. The gentle mind kept moving.
Turning around swiftly, he took some peeled nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, melon seeds... all of them were poured into the cauldron, and then the high temperature became sticky, and instantly melted into a large piece of amber.
After the mixing is complete, take out a large piece of amber in the pot, place it on a chopping board, and cut it into long and thin strips lightly with heat.
A delicate pastry mixed with assorted nuts in chunks of amber. Magic is born in gentle hands.
The maid who was watching couldn't help exclaiming: "Miss Wen, you are amazing!"
"Princess Yunluo, try it quickly and see how you like it?" Wen Rou couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, picked up a plate of amber-like pastries that had been cut, and sent it to Princess Yunluo.
Crisp and crisp, sweet and delicious, the sweetness of grape juice is combined with the aroma of nuts, and it has a special flavor in your mouth.
"It's so delicious!" Princess Yunluo ate two pieces in a row. Hungry!
"Rou'er, is this made of grapes? What is it called?" Princess Yunluo asked curiously.
"Princess, this cake doesn't have a name yet. It's just that the servants made it out of grapes on a whim, so it's better for the princess to give it a name!" said with a gentle smile.
"It looks like amber, it's exquisite and delicious, why not call it 'Amber Cake'!" Princess Yunluo said, and ate another piece!
"In this way, the deliciousness of the grapes can be preserved for a long time!" Wen Rou said from the side.
Yes... to preserve the deliciousness of grapes forever...
Gentle suddenly thought of something.
Such a delicious amber cake, although rich in flavor, has added nuts in it. But according to everyone's different tastes, this kind of food. I'm afraid that if a thousand people eat it, they will say yes, but only one person...
previous life. He doesn't like sweets so much, even if he is willing to try one or two in this life, the elegance and refinement brought in his bones make him only suitable for tea, calligraphy and painting, and landscape.
However, there are some delicacies, such as the grapes from the Western Regions, which are already sweet and delicious when eaten on weekdays. Even if they are made into amber cakes, they are as sweet as honey. How can we make the picky people accept these delicious grapes
The emperor has rewarded so much... Even if it is all made into amber cakes, I am afraid it will be too much to eat!
Gentle thought to herself, and her thoughts gradually drifted away...
I don't know if he has tried the "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death" sent to Yaoshan a few days ago? I don't know if that strong smell suits his alcoholic mind
By the way, wine? !
Her gentle eyes were instantly lit by the black grapes in front of her.
Since the grapes are delicious and can be made into a sweet and delicious amber cake, can the grapes be added to the wine to make a unique wine
Think of it and start trying!
Since Chef Gao’s ancient genealogy has the method of making the spirit of “drunken life and dream of death”, is this fruit wine also recorded
Wen Rou's first thought was to read the ancient score.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the wine-making article, there is a short record that seems to be written by hand.
Gently and carefully studying that paragraph of text, I couldn't help being shocked!
Chef Gao’s ancestors actually tried to use grapes to make wine, but the record was a failure, the wine was sour and tasted bad...
It turned out to be a matter of taste, this is simple, now the emperor has rewarded the Saimi grapes from the Western Regions, the sweetness of which is naturally better than the common grapes from the Central Plains.
Besides, the sweetness is not enough, you can add sugar...
Thinking so tenderly, she not only secretly smiled.
"Rou'er, what are you laughing at?" Princess Yunluo was surprised.
"Princess, this servant wants to ask you for three days' leave, and wants to go back to visit my mother and elder brother." Wen Wen came back to her senses, and told a lie in good faith.
"Oh, that's right. When you first entered the palace, you felt a little uncomfortable in everything. These days, you have been with this princess for a long time. Naturally, you want to miss your parents and family members. You can go and take this princess to greet you. Your family." Princess Yunluo agreed.
"In that case, the maidservant will thank the princess." Rourou said lightly.
Princess Yunluo ordered someone to make some arrangements, and then sent half of the grapes rewarded by the emperor to Wenrou's home.
At this time, the reward that Liu Heng just announced has not yet arrived, so Ruan Rou is still living in the original home in the capital for the time being.
As everyone knows, if the reward of a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand hectares of fertile land arrives, what will Wen Shouzheng, Zhou Shi, and Wen Ting be like in shock!
"Mother, I'm back!" Rourou yelled as soon as she entered the door.
"Rou'er, why are you leaving the palace again, but Princess Yunluo's condition has changed?" Zhou asked nervously.
"Mother, Princess Wenluo is doing well! The emperor is happy, and rewarded Rou'er with a lot of things. You see, these are grapes from the Western Regions. You can eat some with my brother. Rou'er uses some of them to develop something new." " said with a gentle smile.
