Yun Yanhui was summoned to the palace, and saw a group of small radish heads, all of whom were Zhao Youwu's friends, and Zhao Zongshi was also there.
They were all acquaintances, and when they saw Yun Yan returning, they rushed forward, hugging their hands and hugging their thighs.
"Senior brother—" Zhao Youwu stood in a circle outside and stretched out his hand to watch Yun Yan return.
Yun Yanhui picked up Zhao Youwu and let her sit on his arm, "His Royal Highness, I heard that you were looking for me?"
Zhao Zongshi tugged Yun Yanhui's sleeve, "Yan fat, I heard that the tables and chairs in Taozhiyao are all made of sugar?"
Zhao Youwu also blinked, "Brother, take me to see it!"
As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, the other children also had a general discussion.
"... I heard that tea cups are also made of sugar. Pour water into it and you can drink sugar water."
"Then can I eat the table? Haha."
…
I don't know who is so imaginative. When they make up such urban legends, the children's thinking is the most jumping. They really believe it, and they add a lot of details to their brains.
Yun Yanhui couldn't help laughing and crying, how rich he was to be able to build a house out of sugar.
Yun Yanhui explained seriously: "My little friends, I didn't make a house out of sugar, but made everything in the house in the shape of sugar. Those who tell you this may have misunderstood or misunderstood. ."
The children all showed disappointment, "What? Isn't there any..."
"Why, don't you sell sugar? Why don't you make it with sugar?"
"That's right, it would be great if there really was such a house."
Zhao Youwu took Yun Yan's hand back, "Senior brother..."
Yun Yan trembled, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Zhao Youwu said very cutely: "I want a room like that, I want to sleep in it, if not, can you help me make one? Dad said, just tell you what you want."
Yunyan replied: "..."
This is not good, such a habit is very bad! What kind of daddy, what bad habits did he teach, is the emperor amazing? !
... woohoo, that's amazing.
Yun Yanhui wiped her tears in her heart, "His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to, but we don't have this craft now, and it's too labor-intensive and waste of money..." A simple person like Renzong, no matter how much he favors his daughter, it's impossible to agree.
Halfway through he said, he found that Zhao Youwu's eyes were full of tears, and the children beside him were disappointed.
If the princess got it, they would still be able to rub off. If the princess can't get it, then they have no chance.
However, Zhao Youwu is still very sensible and authentic: "Dad said waste is not good, then I don't want it."
Yun Yanhui felt that the next words were a bit difficult to say, so she said politely: "Although we can't do a big one, but we can do a small one, how about it?"
Zhao Youwu: "Small? How small?"
"It's that big..." Yun Yan returned to compare a shape the size of a Cuju ball, "After doing this, everyone can eat it while playing, and it won't be wasted."
It's okay to settle for the next best thing.
Zhao Youwu hugged Yun Yanhui's neck and said, "Senior brother, when will you send it?"
"Is the princess in a hurry?" Yun Yan asked back with a smile.
Zhao Youwu pouted and said, "Last night I thought I could see the house today, but I couldn't sleep..."
"Then I'll ask someone to bring the materials, so we can do it together." Yun Yan suggested back, "It's like a water plant tank and a construction sand table, the difference is that this one can be eaten."
The children's eyes lit up and they were so excited.
"Really can?"
"Okay! Let's make a palace for His Highness together!"
Yun Yan Hui secretly wiped away her sweat. Tao Zhiyao had never studied anything like a candy house. It would take at least a while to come up with a work that would satisfy the princess.
But coaxing the children to do it together is different. According to Yun Yanhui's experience with children, even if it is a little ugly, they will like it very much... and don't do his business at all.
Yun Yan sent people back to inform Tao Zhiyao's candy maker to bring the ingredients and tools to the palace. Here, I asked the palace people to prepare a large low table and wash the hands of the children.
Once the stuff arrives, you can start making it.
Melt the sugar, add some eggs, divide into portions, let it firm up a bit, and shape into different shapes.
Use a ruler, scissors, etc.
Yun Yanhui and the master were just tutoring by the side. These children had their own divisions of labor, and they even discussed color matching.
The color of the walls of this "house" is reddish-brown, and it can be decorated with cream, sugar balls of various colors, etc. Zhao Youwu even squeezed out a panda cub and said it was her pearl.
Now that we have all the pandas, let's make two pieces of bamboo by the way, and put them on a large flat-rolled sugar cake.
Finally, heat it up, and it becomes a childlike candy house.
Yun Yan praised them in return, "You can't keep this for too long, let's eat it together later."
"I'll show Daddy first." Zhao Youwu said, "Let Daddy see the house we made."
In fact, everyone is very reluctant, but not to waste. And anyway, except for Zhao Youwu, other people can't stay in the palace, and this candy house is only for one day today. It is better to eat it than to keep it.
Zhao Youwu asked someone to invite Renzong over. Renzong was very happy when he heard that his daughter had a handicraft work. He came to take a look and praised him a lot, "Xiao Ba is really ingenious!"
Zhao Youwu said embarrassedly, "I did it with everyone..."
Yun Yan replied: "Everyone has a heart and a skill. Guanjia, do you want to take the first bite?" He added in a low voice, "Before doing this, everyone washed their hands."
Renzong's expression was suddenly a little distorted, Yun Yan didn't mention it, he would not have thought of this. He has seen children play with this kind of thing, and they are all pinched and pinched. What if they don't pay attention to hygiene and wipe their snot on it
The more Yun Yan reassured, the more worried Renzong became!
But in the face of his daughter's expectant gaze, Renzong struggled for a while, but decided to believe them, grabbed a piece of "bamboo" and put it in his mouth.
These raw materials are prepared by the master, and the taste is naturally no problem.
"It's delicious, Xiaoba is really amazing." Renzong also grabbed "Zhuzhu"'s head and handed it to Zhao Youwu, "You also have a bite."
Zhao Youwu was stunned for a moment, then cried out, "Father, why did you cut Zhuzhu's head!"
Renzong: "..."
Renzong was speechless, "Isn't this... candy..."
He thought that Zhao Youwu would like to eat the panda himself!
Yun Yanhui broke the panda's body off, and asked Renzong to string the head and body together with a small stick, "Look, this is a panda lollipop."
… This is also a way.
Zhao Youwu hesitated for a moment, accepted it, took the stick, licked the candy and said, "Daddy is bad..."
Renzong laughed embarrassingly. When he was with his daughter, he was just an ordinary father, and there would be times when he was helpless.
Everyone eats this candy house, but it is still a bit big. After each person divides a piece, there is still half of the palace room left.
Yun Yan replied, "Children can't eat too much sugar, and you can't eat the rest. Why don't you give it to those who appreciate it?"
"Okay," Zhao Youwu agreed first, "but, who is the one who appreciates it? Can I give it to the people in my palace?"
Zhao Zongshi licked a candy pillar and said, "Why don't we give it to people outside the palace. Last time my mother bought me a box of candy, and I gave it to the children I met on the street. He said he and he None of his friends had ever eaten candy, and it was the first time he ate candy."
In fact, Yun Yanhui also hoped that Zhao Youwu would donate it, but he did not expect Zhao Zongshi to be so eloquent.
When Zhao Youwu heard that there were still people who had never eaten candy, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then give it to those children who have never eaten candy."
Renzong's eyes revealed relief. He was very satisfied with his daughter's kindness and Zhao Zongshi's benevolence.
Because there was no good news after Cao's entry into the palace, some people suggested that the clan's sons should be brought into the palace for rearing. There is also an implicit meaning that if the official family always fails to give birth or raise a son, having a clan son who has been brought up by himself is also an option.
Cao's side was very caring, and she also told her mother that she would bring her niece to the palace, so as not to be too embarrassed by Renzong, she only said that she was here to accompany her.
And Renzong has been hesitating who to let into the palace, so he has invited children from various families to play in the palace these days. Now that Zhao Zongshi is seen, he thinks that this is a very good child. .
Today, the fruits of the children's labor, the remaining half of the palace, was sent to the outside of the palace and given to the children of poor families.
Although only half of it is left, in the eyes of those children, it is more beautiful than the candy in Taozhiyao. There is no such candy house in Taozhiyao.
Moreover, this is what Her Royal Highness gave them to eat. The princess is really kind.
Many children who have never eaten candy are drooling. There are many of them, and they eat the candy house separately. Each person has a small piece. The taste has been remembered many years later.
Even in the future, many of them can afford Taozhiyao's candy, but this is still the sweetest taste they have ever tasted.
…
After Yun Yan went back, he told Shuang Yi about this.
Shuang Yi was very emotional. When he was a child, he couldn't eat anything good at Salesian Village. After moving out, the family also had a difficult time for a while. Shuang Yi still remembered that Zheng Ping would occasionally bring fruit back, and she ate it very cherishly, a packet could last for a long time.
At that time, Brother Yan was already like an adult, and he always said that he didn't like to eat, and then pushed her to eat.
But they are still better than those poor people. At least Zheng Ping can make money and buy snacks, so she is much happier than those children.
Being touched by such a move, Shuangyi instructed the people in the shop to build a candy house every month, and in the name of the princess, distribute it to the children in Bianjing City, so that those children who can't afford candy can also have the opportunity to taste it.
This incident was later spread, and it was gradually made up into a story with a beginning and an end.
It is said that the Eighth Princess heard that it was New Year's Eve, but many children could not afford candy, so she asked Renzong for some raw materials, made a beautiful candy house by herself, and then asked for it to be given to the people.
Renzong admired the princess's behavior very much, and ordered people to deliver it to the people, and said that everyone in the world was his subjects, so they should all have candy like his daughter. One day, every family in the Song Dynasty will have a box of candy on the table during Chinese New Year.
Motivated by the kindness of the princess, there was a righteous merchant who donated candy, so the business became better and everyone was happy.
- Later, a courtier flattered and told the story in front of Renzong.
Renzong's first reaction was not to be happy, but: This story wasn't made up and marketed by someone surnamed Yun, right? !
Renzong's skeptical look made the courtier think he was angry, and quickly pleaded guilty.
Renzong didn't punish him, he just muttered in his heart that it was all Yun Yanhui's fault, which made him more and more suspicious and could no longer listen to the story with confidence.
