Su Wan looked at the Mohelo in her hand and said, "I have received three dolls today, and yours is the best looking."
Three?
Yan Pei looked over.
Su Wan counted the number of people, one was the young eunuch Wei Jun, and the other was the nanny in the Zalikuli Bingku.
And there is Yan Pei.
Hearing the other two names, Yan Pei nodded slightly and said nothing else.
However, this emotion came inexplicably, and Yan Pei did not think much about it.
The two exchanged the gifts in their hands, and Su Wan also had to go back to the kitchen. Today was Chinese Valentine's Day, and after making snacks and dinner, they could worship the Moon Goddess as soon as they finished their work early.
In Su Wan's view, it's just a gathering for everyone to have fun.
She must be included in the fun!
Yan Pei also said that if he had nothing to do in the future, he could come over for dinner as usual.
The outer palace was indeed very chaotic before, and Su Wan could understand that, so she didn't think much about it at this time.
And now that Yan Pei is back, it’s time to pick a lucky audience member at the zoo!
I haven't come to see them for several days. Usually, the palace servants of Shangbaojian come to feed and clean them at fixed times. They look quite fat.
The small kitchen misses them too!
Listen, is this human language?
Su Wan returned to the kitchen with a new bottle of Mohelo.
This was her favorite among the three she got today. She didn't mean to deceive Yan Pei, but this one was really pretty.
The villain inside is her!
How can I not like it?
However, as soon as Su Wan returned to the kitchen, she was stared at by the manager of the Baochao Department who had rushed over.
"Can I have some more puffs?"
The new chief of the Baochao Division has always been prudent and never does such a thing.
What's wrong with him now?
Su Wan took a step back in fright.
Wait, she seemed to have thought of something. This guy likes sweets!
It seems that when the water chestnut cake was made before, the new chief steward of the Baochao Division liked the taste of the dessert very much.
I definitely prefer puffs and cookies nowadays.
"Why buy anything? Just give me the ingredients and I'll cook for you." Su Wan said directly, "Send it to the kitchen later and I'll cook it for you."
"Okay, I'll give you the processing fee too." The new chief steward of the Baochao Division nodded immediately, "Didn't the two chief stewards of the Shangbaojian give it to you before?"
That’s true.
Su Wan didn't refuse either.
Why would you refuse something that can make money?
And she didn't feel guilty at all about earning this extra money.
But also people from the Zaliku Desserts Department were invited.
The more Nanny from the Dessert Department looked at Su Wan, the more she liked her. She couldn't help but say, "Since you have such great pastry skills, why don't you come to the Dessert Department? I'm sure you'll like it."
As soon as he saw the dessert nanny coming over, the deputy prime minister of the western kitchen felt that something was wrong and immediately said, "Mammy, why are you poaching people in front of me? With such plain pastry skills, she is also very good at making pastries."
Is there anyone who doesn’t praise the steamed bun noodles made by Su Wan?
It’s been getting more and more delicious recently.
Unexpectedly, the dessert nanny ignored her and smiled as she stuffed some desserts into Su Wan's pocket. She said, "When the chief of the food department comes back, I'll ask her for the person."
Is there any such thing?
Fortunately, she was from the Imperial Kitchen and was the nanny who had previously taken care of Deputy Prime Minister Xi, so when she spoke like this, Deputy Prime Minister Xi could only be angry.
In the end, it was the nanny who gave him some homemade candies to coax him into submission.
But no matter how much she is coaxed, she still wants him.
Who doesn’t like a clever little girl who is good at craftsmanship?
It's not just the Zaliku Dessert Department that wants Su Wan.
In the southern kitchen of the palace, Deputy Prime Minister Nan was tentatively asking for someone.
The Southern Kitchen has always been the most important in the Imperial Food Department, so the palace servants needed must be the most capable!
This excuse sounds reasonable.
But the chief of the Imperial Kitchen rejected it outright.
The reason is simple.
Su Wan had just done these things. Even if she could hide it on the surface, those people would eventually find out.
In that case, it would be better to continue staying in the remote western dining room.
Wait until you are older and the situation has changed.
Of course, the last sentence was not said, and only the commander himself knew it.
And this change will happen soon.
Deputy Prime Minister Xi didn't even know that he had escaped a disaster and said nothing. He had already saved Su Wan.
At this time, the western kitchen was still discussing how to celebrate the festival.
Qixi Festival is also an important festival for daughters, and palace maids can also drink a little on this day.
That night, the moonlight on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month was not that bright, but fortunately the sky was clear and the stars were shining.
Under the starlight, everyone ate snacks, drank fruit wine, and prayed to the Moon Goddess together.
When she got to Su Wan, she didn't know what to pray for. Should she pray for more delicious food? Pray for more food to appear.
For example, potatoes!
Potatoes are versatile and taste good in anything.
After making good wishes, take a bite of Chinese glutinous rice jelly, Ruyi cake, and auspicious fruit.
They are all very delicious snacks, one bite at a time, making people happy.
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the palace was the same as usual, except that the food became better.
But the palace maids in the outer palace actually missed the feeling of the Shangshisi racking their brains to make various kinds of rice and flour for them!
The food was delicious then too!
Eating meat all day is pretty boring.
That's really going too far!
When the palace servants from the Shangshi Department heard this, they couldn't help but make fun of them. Could it be that we in the Shangshi Department could make different rice and flour for such a long time in a row?
The other palace servants immediately answered, "Of course! Do you have any recipes left? Impossible!"
Look, this is trust!
They all believed that Shangshi would not let them go hungry!
However, each kitchen must still return to the original five-day summer menu. Everything must be regulated so that everyone can eat with greater peace of mind.
No, you can just give everyone a snack occasionally, that’s also fine.
Naturally, everyone cheered and almost raised their hands in agreement.
Shangshisi said to add more food, that must be right!
After the Chinese Valentine’s Day, there is the more important festival, the Ghost Festival.
This festival commemorates ancestors and remembers the dead, making the palace more peaceful and getting rid of its previous restlessness.
The July salary was distributed before this. Even if the nobles in power were in the palace, their monthly salary would still be distributed on the tenth day, but they did not see their families on the eleventh day.
I met everyone from the west kitchen last month, and I won’t see my family again until September.
Speaking of which, the current person in power has been replaced by the infallible Concubine Chu.
It is said that Concubine Chu has a very good temper and is not harsh in her work.
Anyway, the palace servants who received the monthly salary praised him a lot.
If it was Concubine Jiang, that wouldn't be certain. I've never seen a situation where even an order for food ingredients could be delayed for so long.
The head of the Imperial Household Department whom she promoted did not know how to adapt.
The summary is just one sentence.
Concubine Chu can do it, but Concubine Jiang can’t.
Su Wan listened and felt that maybe this Concubine Chu had been suppressed too harshly before, so she started to fight back when she had the chance.
But it is true in the harem, all causes and consequences have already been laid.
And if Concubine Chu had not shown mercy, Concubine Jiang would not have let go of her grudge.
From the day the two princes decided to fight, it would be a life-and-death situation.
The dispute between the two concubines is not just a fight for their own status, but also a fight between the two princes and the forces behind the family.
But the mothers of these two are not very tall, so they should be about the same?
Is it because the former queen’s maternal family was too powerful, so the saint chose to prevent the maternal families of these two from rising up?
Does this seem possible?
After all, the former's power must have caused the saint to suffer great losses.
Forget it, what does this have to do with her?
Now that it was already mid-July, she still had to make the puffs that she had promised to the chief steward of the Treasury Department. The chief steward had been very busy in the past few days, so he hadn't sent her the materials. Now that the Ghost Festival was over, she could finally free up her hands.
Needless to say, the taste of the puffs and cookies is amazing. If they were not delicious, how could they have been popular for so long?
As I was cooking, I suddenly thought of a food, which is mango sago milk tea!
With so many desserts, wouldn’t it be a perfect afternoon tea if there was also a cup of iced milk tea!
How could she have forgotten it before!
As for milk tea, it’s okay if you don’t want to think about it, but when you remember to drink a cup, otherwise you won’t be satisfied.
But think about it.
In July, there are riots, Chinese Valentine's Day, salary payments, and the Ghost Festival.
It would be strange if I could remember it. Now that I have free time, the only thing on my mind is food.
But the less she thought about it, the more she wanted to drink it! She hadn't had milk tea for a long time.
How about we do it now?
If Su Wan were to make one, it would definitely be milk tea in the modern sense.
It’s still the very classic mango sago.
White and tender tapioca pearls, tempting mango, sour grapefruit, and finally smooth coconut milk.
Finally put it in the ice cellar.
Can’t think about it anymore!
Better get started right away.
Just thinking about having a cup of cool and sweet mango sago in the summer makes me happy.
However, with so many things needed to make desserts, I definitely need to find someone to help go to the dessert department to exchange some ingredients.
Why did we trouble the Dessert Department again? Su Wan was almost embarrassed!
I originally thought this would be easy, but the errand boy came back and said, "Wan Wan, the people from the dessert department said that you have to go there in person, and if you go, you don't have to spend any money. They will give you a lot of ingredients for free, no matter how precious they are."
"But there is only one condition, you must go!"
