After lunch, Su Lele planned to make some food for the servants to send to the palace for the prince and the others to enjoy.
I heard from the housekeeper that when he was busy outside, he often did not eat on time and his appetite was often poor. Only every time she makes food or snacks, he will eat well and be full.
Suddenly she remembered that the first batch of salted duck eggs she had pickled before was ready to eat.
"Qiu Yu, go get 100 salted duck eggs and clean them."
"Okay." Qiu Yu responded with a smile.
The young lady has made new products again, and the silly guard Leng Feng is envious of her.
Su Lele moved to the dining room and ordered her servants to prepare the necessary materials.
Today she plans to make two flavors of salted egg yolk sandwich puff pastry and glutinous rice chicken.
Glutinous rice chicken, she had made it before when her grandfather was in the palace, and it was also very popular. In addition, eating it can resist hunger. Wang Ye and the others will not be full if they eat egg yolk cakes alone, but adding glutinous rice chicken is just right.
A quarter of an hour later, the servants had prepared the ingredients, and Su Lele started making egg yolk cakes.
The yolks have been taken out of one hundred salted duck eggs. Su Lele soaked the yolks in oil for a few minutes. One of the maids watching her operation was a little confused at this time.
Maid Su Dongzhi: "Princess, why do you need to soak them in oil for a while?"
"That's a good question. Doing this will prevent the egg yolks from drying out when baked."
Several maids expressed that they had learned.
Then lightly coat the salted egg yolk with a layer of white wine and bake in the oven for about 8 minutes. After baking the salted egg yolks, Su Lele ordered a few maids to wrap fifty salted egg yolks in the bean paste filling, and the other fifty into the taro paste filling.
Starting to make the dough, she poured the required ingredients into a large wooden plate and kneaded it into a smooth dough, then let it rest for a quarter of an hour. Then proceed to make the puff pastry, the same process as making the dough crust.
"You guys come over and help divide the dough and pastry into small doughs of equal size. Then wrap the pastry into the dough, roll it into a round shape, and place it on a plate. Cover it with a lid and let it rest for a while."
"Okay, Princess."
After a while, everyone followed Su Lele and rolled the loose dough into the shape of beef tongue with a rolling pin, then rolled them up and let them rest for a while.
"Now you can roll the small dough into a round dough, and then wrap it with the bean paste and salted egg yolk filling and taro paste and salted egg yolk filling."
While watching everyone making fillings, Su Lele brushed egg yolk liquid twice on the surface of the already wrapped egg yolk puff pastry and sprinkled a few sesame seeds on it.
I made a hundred egg yolk cakes, two flavors. In order for Su Lele to make it easier for everyone to identify which flavor, she sprinkled white sesame seeds on the egg yolk pastry dough filled with bean paste filling, and sprinkled black sesame seeds on the taro paste filling dough.
Finally, he ordered his servants to put the egg yolk cake into the oven and bake it for a quarter of an hour over medium heat.
After finishing the pastries, Su Lele continued to make the glutinous rice chicken non-stop. In modern times, she liked to eat Cantonese-style glutinous rice chicken. It would be great if there were sausages to make the taste richer. It seems that she can make some bacon when she has time.
She had just asked her servants to steam the glutinous rice, and now she only needed to put the marinated chicken legs, mushrooms, and dried shrimps in the pot and fry them until cooked. After the filling is cooked, add the steamed glutinous rice and stir evenly.
Then put the mixed glutinous rice into the soaked lotus leaves and wrap it. Su Lele counted the number and found that there were 46 wrapped.
Instruct the fire maid to put the glutinous rice chicken into the pot and steam it for two quarters of an hour.
At this time, the egg yolk cake has been baked, and Su Lele tasted one filled with bean paste while it was still hot. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet and soft, with the salty egg yolk texture, very good.
"We put four egg yolk cakes filled with bean paste and four egg yolk cakes filled with taro paste in a gift box."
Su Lele had someone make a batch of gift boxes before, and the boxes were stamped with Su Ji's mark, which looked very classy.
There are ten boxes of egg yolk cakes for giving away.
At this time, the glutinous rice chicken has been prepared. While it is still hot, I quickly put it in an insulated wooden box and sent it to them to eat.
Calling a few boys, Su Lele said: "Send these two boxes of egg yolk cakes and ten glutinous rice chickens to the prince's office, and tell him to eat them while they are hot."
"Okay, Princess." One of the servants took something and ran out of Yanyu Pavilion immediately.
Looking at another boy: "You send these two boxes of egg yolk cakes and ten glutinous rice chickens to the Queen, and give them to her, the emperor, the princess, and the two younger brothers to taste. And then take this box of egg yolk cakes, Send two glutinous rice chickens to the Queen Mother."
"Okay, Princess."
Of the remaining two boys, one sent two boxes of egg yolk cakes and ten glutinous rice chickens to the Su Mansion, while the other sent a box of egg yolk cakes and four glutinous rice chickens to the Prince's Mansion.
After everyone left with their food, Su Lele suddenly thought of his third brother who was still studying in the academy and the family of the headmaster of Qingshan Academy.
"Qiu Yu, take a box of egg yolk cakes and two glutinous rice chickens and deliver them to the Third Young Master personally, and then send a box of egg yolk cakes and two glutinous rice chickens to the headmaster of Qingshan Academy."
"Okay, miss, don't forget to leave some food for you."
"I'll leave you a glutinous rice chicken and two egg yolk cakes."
"Miss, you are the best to me, I will fight quickly." After saying that, the maid Qiu Yu took the food and ran away.
After Leng Yichen had just finished interrogating the prisoners from Dali Temple, he was in a bad mood and hurried back to the Criminal Department with two guards to continue handling official business.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and General Leng come to see you if they have something to do."
"Let them in!"
After the two came in, they didn't say any other nonsense. The prince went straight to the point: "There is a surplus of sweet potatoes in Liangzhou, and the sweet potatoes grown by farmers cannot be sold at a high price. What do you think about this matter?"
Leng Yunmo was rarely serious: "After the morning court today, you are busy going to Dali Temple. We have been discussing with Da Sinong for a long time but no solution has been found."
"If this continues, the lives of the people in Liangzhou will only become more difficult. The land in Liangzhou is dry and unsuitable for growing rice, and the wheat yield is not high. Farmers basically rely on growing sweet potatoes to make a living. This year's sweet potatoes have a bumper harvest, and farmers can't sell them. Good price.”
Leng Yichen had been listening to their conversation, but he didn't say a word. He didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, the guard Leng Yu came in from outside and sent a message:
"My lord, the princess ordered the servants in the palace to bring some food for you to enjoy, and also told you to eat it while it's hot."
After Leng Yu finished speaking, he placed the food box and two boxes of egg yolk cakes on the table.
At this time, Leng Yunmo looked at the prince with a smile: "Yichen, you have been busy for a day, you should be hungry, I will help you open it."
After saying that, he quickly opened the food box and the egg yolk cake gift box.
The prince looked at Leng Yunmo's conspicuous appearance, looking like a dog-legger for a bite to eat, and he could only say: I'm convinced.
