It's autumn now and the weather is getting colder day by day.
Tang Shiyue and Mrs. Ye made snow skin mooncakes early in the morning.
She also just found out that starch had already existed in the Dayan Dynasty. It was called "powder food". Generally, there were lotus root powder, kudzu powder, fern powder and mung bean powder. But in fact, most of what can be seen on the market is lotus root powder.
There is also milk. The nobles these days often eat steamed cheese with sugar, which is actually made from goat's milk, horse's milk, or cow's milk, but only goat's milk can be found in the village.
Therefore, mix rice flour, glutinous rice flour, lotus root powder, goat milk, and sugar together, add a little oil, steam it in a pan over low heat, let it cool, and knead it to make "ice skin".
Although it sounds simple, it actually took the two of them a long time to try.
Because goat milk has a bit of fishy smell, I tried not to put it in, but it felt less flavorful. I tried to add almond powder, but it felt slightly bitter and astringent. Later, I tried to add a little jasmine tea, boiled the milk first and then rubbed it in. It didn't have a fishy smell and it looked good.
They made two kinds of fillings this time.
One with salted egg yolk, and one with peach.
Pure egg yolk filling is easy to make. Peel the salted egg yolks, sprinkle some wine on them, and bake them on an iron plate until oil comes out from the bottom. In order to adjust the taste, a layer of red bean paste is also applied on the outside.
...
...
To make the peach filling, cut the peaches into pieces, mash them, put them in a pan and stir-fry them slowly over low heat, add sugar, honey, and a little salt to enhance the flavor, keep stirring until the water is dried up, then add the cooked glutinous rice flour and mix well.
The two of them were busy for most of the day. They used a small mold, and the result was crystal clear and very cute.
Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "I've never seen mooncakes like this before. They look really pleasing to the eye."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Try it!"
Mrs. Ye was familiar with her, so she picked one up without hesitation. Tang Shiyue also picked one up to taste.
While eating, I heard someone talking loudly outside.
Tang Shiyue recognized it immediately. It was the shopkeeper Yang from Yunlai Restaurant again.
Ever since Fu Shou Distillery made its high-profile debut, everyone has gradually come to know that Fu Shou Distillery comes from Jubao Village.
Many restaurants and wine shops came to us one after another, including the Yunlai Restaurant.
When Shopkeeper Yang arrived, Tang Shiyue specially asked Fourth Uncle Tang to entertain him. The situation when Shopkeeper Yang saw Fourth Uncle Tang really perfectly interpreted the saying "You ignored me yesterday, but you can't afford me today."
According to Madam Zhou, Fourth Uncle Tang was so happy that he ate an extra bowl of rice that night.
But Fourth Uncle Tang was a loyal and honest man. Although he was secretly happy, he still looked polite. But he couldn't stand this man coming every day!
Other restaurants would only come here twice at most, and that would be enough to know that there was a contract, but Manager Yang came here every day.
Judging from their quarrel, it seemed that Shopkeeper Yang wanted to find Qi Jing to buy a house, but was stopped by Liang the Bearded Man. He couldn't even get through the door, so the two of them started quarreling at the door.
Tang Shiyue carried a plate of snowy mooncakes over and heard Fourth Uncle Tang's angry voice: "The wine recipe is a family heirloom, and Qi Xiaolang has already said that he won't sell it for a ton of money. How can you force someone to buy it? Isn't this just taking away someone's ability to make a living? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense."
Fourth Uncle Tang has also been growing rapidly recently, and he is becoming more and more confident when speaking.
Shopkeeper Yang said fiercely: "This is not the time for you to kneel before me and beg for mercy! You are just a country bumpkin who has only earned a few days' money and knows nothing about the truth. Yet you are shaking in front of me! You are a villain who has succeeded!"
Tang Shiyue pushed the door open with a loud bang, and said loudly: "Isn't it just a villain who succeeded?"
When Shopkeeper Yang turned around, his expression changed.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "We country folk have always been arrogant when we succeed. You refused to accept my offer even though I begged you to do it, but now it's your turn to beg you to buy it... Privately, you must have taken several bottles of regret pills, right? For such a proud thing, shouldn't we show off? It would be a waste if we don't show off!"
Shopkeeper Yang glared at her.
He has dealt with Tang Shiyue several times.
She was very difficult to deal with despite her young age. No threats or inducements worked, which gave him a headache. So he would rather look for Fourth Uncle Tang than her. He didn't expect that she actually lived here?
He had lost several verbal battles before. He knew he couldn't win, but what she said was so hurtful and infuriating that Shopkeeper Yang couldn't help but said, "I want to see how long you can be so arrogant!"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "We should enjoy life while we can. We should be arrogant for a while. If we are arrogant for a lifetime... then we will make a fortune, right?"
"Don't try to gain the upper hand with your words!" Shopkeeper Yang looked at her and said coldly, "Don't think that you can make a fortune just because you have a wine that others don't have. With your ability, you may not be able to keep it!"
"You don't have to worry about that," Tang Shiyue said with a sigh, "How free are you? You don't worry about your own shop being empty, but you worry about other people's bartenders! Are you too salty today? Why are you worrying about nothing?"
Shopkeeper Yang was so angry at her that he almost vomited blood.
This mouth must have been sharpened, every word whizzes by like a blade!
Shopkeeper Yang said angrily, "Okay! Okay! If you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Look at what you said, it's as if you were being polite!" Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "It's a waste of effort to just say harsh words, just use whatever tricks you have! I'm waiting!"
Shopkeeper Yang was so angry at her that he left.
Tang Shiyue gave the snow skin mooncakes to Uncle Tang Si, and went back to bring another plate to the Xu family.
The two families now have a small door opened on the wall, making entry and exit more convenient.
Xu Wenqu was still sitting at the stone table reading a book. When he saw her coming, he smiled and said, "It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Why bother to seek pleasure for a moment?"
"You're wrong," Tang Shiyue put the mooncake on the table. "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days, right? Why did I deliberately make him angry? Because this shopkeeper Yang is not a good person, and the problems between us can't be solved. Sooner or later, we will fall out. Instead of waiting for him in fear like this, it's better to add fuel to the fire and take the initiative."
"At least now I know that within three days, he will definitely deal with me. When people are not calm, they will not be so rigorous when doing things, so they will definitely be easier to deal with!"
Xu Wenqu frowned after listening to this, then smiled and shook his head, then took out a handkerchief to cushion his hands, took a mooncake to eat, and asked slowly: "Aren't you afraid of his tricks? Can't you deal with him?"
"Normally not," Tang Shiyue said without hesitation, "From the fact that he came here so many times, all by himself, we can tell that even if he has some noble people behind him, he won't act easily. At least this first time, when he wanted to deal with us, he still used the power of 'Yunlai Restaurant'. This is completely different from when you scolded the governor, you..."
She suddenly realized that she had said something wrong and swallowed it abruptly.
Xu Wenqu acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to eat the mooncake leisurely.
Tang Shiyue quickly picked up the plate and rushed into the room. She hesitated for a long time and finished eating the mooncakes. Then she picked up the plate and tried to sneak away from behind him.
He kept his head down reading a book and seemed not to hear.
Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he called her, "Yuer."
Tang Shiyue: “…”
