Li Kuan was forced to make mooncakes by himself. Under Zhao Qian's guidance, he sifted all the ingredients step by step, leaving the finest part, and then mixed flour and syrup in different proportions to form a dough, and then red beans, Put the mung bean, bean paste and other fillings into the dough, pour it into the mold, and finally brush the egg yolk to add color, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and put it on the hot kang to bake.
The time should not be too long or too short! The control of time is controlled by Zhao Qian, and Li Kuan only needs to obey the command.
"take!"
Zhao Qian gave an order, and Li Kuan quickly took out the cooked mooncakes. Looking at the steaming mooncakes, the faint fragrance exuded a great appetite. Although the program is more complicated, and the style is simple, it is not that difficult to operate.
Zhao Qian only taught him once, and Li Kuan controlled the rest, and many failed works. Even so, Wang Huai and Zhao Qian didn't say a word about him, and let him play by himself. Moreover, Zhao Qian ordered him to make twelve mooncakes of different styles by himself, each of which is two, which means he must make twenty-four mooncakes by himself.
The seemingly simple steps, when I really came by myself, most of them were inaccurate in the heat, which caused many mooncakes to be burnt and lose their original taste. Throughout the whole afternoon, Li Kuan’s failed works reached hundreds, and these were impossible to lose. They were all eaten up and down by the Fuzhong.
It’s okay to eat one or two bad mooncakes. The key is that Li Kuan is baking more and more. In the end everyone is afraid. Seeing the burnt mooncakes that are constantly being delivered, they are full of sadness. Li Shuang courageously said in a low voice: "Wang Hao, Can you let the son do less, it is really too much to keep going like this!"
Wu Jue smiled awkwardly, looking at the charred moon cake in her hand, she also had no appetite, but this was made by Li Kuan himself, so Li Kuan's painstaking effort should not be wasted. However, Wu Jue was also worried when seeing hundreds of them piled on the table. She didn't want to continue eating, so Wang Huai refused to let her enter the kitchen.
After a whole day of tossing, the whole mansion was miserable, biting the bullet and digesting the moon cakes that Li Kuan had baked. Because of the failure, Li Kuan decided to make persistent efforts and continued to study the fire without sleep. After a series of failures, he finally succeeded in mastering the fire.
The next day, Li Kuan happily took out a plate of moon cakes, and asked Zhang Chong, Leng Feng, Li Dal and others to wait outside the kitchen. When the eight people saw Li Kuan serving the moon cakes, they were in mourning until Li Kuan walked over and saw it. When the golden mooncakes were presented in front of everyone, the eight people let down their worries.
"how is the taste?"
Li Kuan couldn't wait to ask the eight people how they would feel about eating, but no one answered, because their tastes have been completely replaced by the black moon cakes, and they really can’t tell the good or bad of the moon cakes. The vague answer made Li Kuan a little bit uncomfortable. Reluctantly, they asked the eight of them to send the remaining mooncakes to other people in the Fuzhong. The first feeling for everyone was fear. Although they barely ate, no one answered his question. In the end, Zhao Qian commented: "Growth!"
Li Kuan, who was admired, was even more motivated and rushed into the kitchen again. This time he was no longer just mung beans, red beans, etc., and he even made egg yolk mooncakes without a teacher. Generally speaking, osmanthus cakes were eaten the most among the people during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and they were also the most common. After Li Kuan brought out the egg yolk mooncake, everyone had eaten it and the taste was very special, even Wang Huai and Qian Wu were full of praise.

"When you enter the palace tomorrow, you will bring this to the emperor!" Zhao Qian made a final decision and decided to focus on egg yolk mooncakes. The mooncakes with other fillings were used as supplementary. Li Kuan was surprised when he entered the palace tomorrow. Said: "There are so many imperial chefs in the palace, haven't you eaten this one?"
Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "No!"
Li Kuan was surprised. According to the truth, the taste of egg yolk mooncakes is the best. After Wang Huai's explanation, Li Kuan only learned that in the early Tang Dynasty, the first emperor Li Yuan had set the regulations for eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The August osmanthus is in full bloom and the scent of osmanthus everywhere makes the palace chefs cook mooncakes filled with osmanthus, and then gradually develop into mung bean and red bean fillings, followed by sesame and rock sugar fillings, and the egg yolk fillings are really not tasted. Over.
That night, Li Kuan’s egg yolk mooncakes became everyone’s favorite, and both adults and children were full of praise. The people who had previously eaten the badly baked mooncakes also ate the egg yolk mooncakes willingly, but he didn't cook these later, but taught the methods to the servants in the Fuzhong and let them do it.
At the next day, Li Kuan and Wu Jue, who were dressed very formally, set off for the imperial palace. This was also the first time Wu Jue entered the imperial palace. When she entered the imperial city, she was immediately attracted by the magnificent palace, her face was full of curiosity, and her eyes revealed surprise.
"Second brother, younger sibling!"
"Big Brother!" Li Kuan and Wu Hui turned around and met Li Chengqian with a smile. The two greeted Li Chengqian hurriedly, and saw him alone, and said in doubt, "Sister-in-law did not come?"
"She went to see her mother in the harem!" Li Chengqian replied with a smile, and asked, "Brother and sister, why didn't you go?"
Wu Hui said: "Am I going too?"
"Of course I want to go!" Li Chengqian said solemnly, "During the festive season, the royal family members must first go to see the mother, this is an exception in the palace. As for the sons, they go to the Taiji Hall to meet the emperor, and the civil and military officials are in Taiji. The palace gathers."
"No one told me!" Wu Suo replied with a wry smile. She really didn't know about it. Even Li Kuan didn't know about it. If she didn't meet Li Chengqian, she really didn't know how to explain it. Li Chengqian was shocked. Said: "Have they ever told you about it?"
Li Kuan replied: "They only said that I would bring the gift, but the others really didn't say it!
"It shouldn't be!" Li Chengqian whispered to himself, "With the qualifications of the elder prince, they should know these things. They can't help but tell. Did you leave your second brother without listening?"
Li Kuan and Wu Shuo were both stunned. In fact, it was really the case. Before leaving, Wang Huai said that they had something to say for the two of them to wait. However, Li Kuan and Wu Suo were a little late at first, and they rushed to the palace without paying attention to it. They really didn’t take it to heart. Besides, they didn’t see anyone along the way. They thought it was too early to care. .
When Li Chengqian saw the expressions of the two of them, he had a clear heart, and he couldn't help crying or laughing and said, "Second brother, you two really make me wonder what to say! The reason I came out is because most of them are waiting in Tai Chi Palace, only a few With you, the King of Chu, and several important officials in the court, I came out to welcome them."
After hearing this, Li Kuan and Wu Jue were dumbfounded. When he remembered that it was Mao, how could it be possible that most of the people had arrived. If he said that, he was not only late, but also half an hour late, which made both of them a little bit late. Speechless. 噺⒏⑴The full text of the article is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/ (End of this chapter)
