Chapter 152 One bite, one hundred million bites
Today, Emperor Jingning asked the Crown Prince about his studies as usual. Suddenly, he looked very pleased and praised the Crown Prince for his intelligence.
Not only did he reward the Grand Tutor and all the prince's study companions for the first time, he also had someone send the prince some exquisite-looking pastries.
Happiness came so suddenly that the prince was stunned.
This was the first time since he could remember that his father had praised and rewarded him so publicly.
For some reason, the prince always felt that his father had been too nice to him recently.
In the past, Emperor Jingning treated the crown prince very strictly, and sometimes the crown prince would be punished for even the slightest mistake.
Every time the prince felt wronged, the queen would always persuade him softly, saying that Emperor Jingning had also gone through the same thing.
She also said that this was actually a good thing, proving that Emperor Jingning had high hopes for him.
Although the prince was young, he was a reasonable man. Although he complained, he soon accepted the fact.
Who would have thought that Emperor Jingning suddenly changed his attitude.
In the past, he did not allow the prince to eat too many snacks, believing that it was bad for his health.
But ever since he rewarded the prince with potato chips and black sesame balls last time, Emperor Jingning would send people to deliver some new and delicious food to him from time to time.
Sometimes, people would even tell the prince not to study hard late at night, as health is the most important thing.
A faint sweet fragrance entered his nose, bringing the prince's thoughts back to real life.
He looked at the dessert in front of him with layers of crust and fillings intertwined together, picked up the fork beside him, his eyes shining.
This dessert looks so tempting. I heard from the visitor that it is called thousand-layer cake and it comes in three flavors.
Thousand layer cake, even the name is so nice.
No matter what the emperor thinks, this gift is his since it was given to him as a reward.
Well, let’s eat first.
The prince picked up a piece of cake with a fork and put it into his mouth.
The fruit crepe is refreshing when you take a bite. The first thing your teeth touch is the slightly tough top layer of crepe crust, followed by the delicate and silky cream and the juicy and refreshing diced fruit.
The aroma of eggs, milk and rich fruit are intertwined together, and every mouthful is juicy.
After swallowing the fruit melaleuca, the fragrance still lingers in your mouth for a long time, with a long aftertaste.
The prince's eyes were full of amazement. He held the fork and began to eat bite by bite.
After finishing a whole piece of fruit lasagna, he turned his attention to the taro lasagna next to it.
Although eating too much is not good, it shouldn’t be a problem to try one more bite.
In this way, the prince ate mouthful after mouthful and couldn't stop at all.
When he came to his senses, he found that the three pieces of mille-feuille cake in front of him had been eaten up completely, without even a crumb left.
The prince was slightly startled. He had originally wanted to try one piece first and save the rest for afternoon snack.
He put down his fork in annoyance. Was it because his self-control was too poor?
No, it’s not that he has poor self-control, it’s that this thousand-layer cake is too delicious.
He had never eaten such delicious pastries before. The outer layer of the pastry was as thin as a cicada's wing and soft and elastic. The cream wrapped inside was as soft as a cloud and melted in the mouth.
Thousand layer cakes of different flavors have their own characteristics and deliciousness because of different ingredients.
The fruit melaleuca has a fresh and chewy taste, bringing a natural and mellow enjoyment to the taste buds.
The taro lasagna tastes soft, sweet, delicate and smooth.
What surprised the prince the most was the Jasmine Thousand Layer which exuded the scent of jasmine. It looked elegant and fresh, and tasted sweet but not greasy.
It totally fits the characteristics of Jasmine.
When you take a bite, you will feel the softness and smoothness in your mouth, not at all heavy. There is also a light floral fragrance spreading in your mouth, bringing a slightly sweet aftertaste to the tip of your tongue.
If you savor it carefully, you will feel the jasmine flowers blooming on the tip of your tongue and in your heart, delicate and soft, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Fresh, elegant yet noble.
This is the best interpretation of Jasmine Melaleuca.
Moreover, this cake was clearly given by my father, and he did not stipulate how long it should take to finish eating it.
Maybe his father wanted him to finish it all at once.
After all, it was because his father doted on him too much.
After convincing himself, the prince completed the homework assigned by the tutor seriously with a sweet heart.
Now he is also a good boy spoiled by his father, hehehe~~
I feel quite embarrassed.
However, the prince's bubble of happiness did not last long and was soon broken by Xiao Jingran.
He learned from Xiao Jingran that it was the day when Princess Yinghua celebrated her housewarming, and many people went to the princess's house to attend the banquet.
The banquet not only included various delicacies that the prince had never heard of, but also the thousand-layer cake that he regarded as a treasure.
The prince was worthy of being a prince. He quickly figured out that his father, the emperor, and most likely even his mother and grandmother had eaten the food at the banquet that day.
But they didn't invite him to join them. Not only that, even the few pieces of crepe cakes that his father gave him as a reward might have been their leftovers!!
Upon learning the truth, the prince's heart was broken.
Isn't he the biological child of the Emperor and Empress? And the Empress, she clearly said that she loved him the most among all the grandchildren!
Why did they eat so many delicious foods but never thought of him? ?
Woohoo, the family relationship that I thought was indestructible all these years was ultimately a waste of time!!
…
The prince was crying in the palace, but Chen Huazheng and others had already started to get busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival preparations.
Zhou Ying took a sip of jasmine milk tea and looked at Chen Huazheng: "I heard from Shopkeeper Wu that many people are asking if Yipinlou will launch any new dishes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Some people want to book private rooms and private rooms, and some people hope to reserve dishes in advance and have them delivered to their door when the time comes."
Princess Lejia picked up a piece of apple with a fork and took a bite.
"My grandmother also asked if there would be fish maw and chicken hotpot. She had it last time and liked it very much."
Shen Huazheng thought for a moment, “Yipinlou must be launching new dishes, and reservations are also available, but the more important thing is the mooncakes.”
Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and this is the most appropriate time to promote mooncakes.
Both Yipinlou and Lianxiangzhai can be sold in bulk, but the focus should be on launching gift box packages.
The gift box looks more delicate and beautiful. Not only can you buy it to eat at home, but you can also give it as a gift when visiting relatives and friends.
"moon cake?"
“You want to sell mooncakes?”
Zhou Ying and Princess Le Jia said in unison.
For Daliang, Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunion. The common people and nobles here will return home early on this day, have a good meal with their families, and then watch the moon together.
Although people eat mooncakes when appreciating the moon, the fillings of mooncakes here are relatively simple, mostly red bean paste and the like.
Moreover, there are very few pastry shops here that sell mooncakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival, because every household makes them by themselves.
Sometimes when I make too much, I will give some to relatives and friends.
