Chapter 9
On the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of July, everyone in the Yudian room was very busy. In addition to the cakes to be made for the empress, they also need to make a lot of Qiaoguo on this day, which will be used as festive cakes sent by the empress to the palaces during the Qiqiao Festival.
The method of Qiaoguo is: first put the sugar in a pot and melt it into syrup, then mix it with flour and sesame seeds, mix it well, spread it on the table and thin it out, let it cool down, cut it into long squares with a knife, and fold it into shuttle-shaped noodles. Embryo, into the deep-fry until golden Serve. Although it is not difficult to do, but the amount of work is relatively large, Lin Jiabao and the others started to work early in the morning.
"An Zhu, don't be too busy, and I will take the bird's nest cake to the Queen's first." Nanny Lin handed a food box to An Zhu.
"No. Ma'am, I'll be right here." Lin Jiabao put down what he was doing and went to wash his hands.
"Nurse Lin, take me with you." Yu Long begged to Nanny Lin. Today is Qiqiao Festival, she specially put on the exquisite purse that she had embroidered for a long time before. I hope to show my face in front of the empress.
"No need, An Zhu and I can just go. You three hurry up and make Qiaoguo." Nanny Lin ignored her request, how could she not know what Yulong was thinking.
Yu Long watched Nanny Lin take An Zhu away, feeling aggrieved in his heart.
When Mother Lin took An Zhu to the main hall of Yongshou Palace, she saw Mother Zhou waiting outside the hall.
"Mother Lin, you are here. The Empress and His Royal Highness are here, waiting for your snacks." Mother Zhou winked at Mother Lin.
"This is An Zhu, right? I heard from Nanny Lin that your craftsmanship is pretty good now." Nanny Zhou looked at An Zhu with a smile, she was very satisfied with his appearance, and thought that she should be able to do business.
"Hello, Nanny Zhou." Lin Jiabao stepped forward to say hello to Nanny Zhou, and smiled shyly after hearing her compliment.
Nanny Lin walked in front, and suddenly bent down clutching her stomach, "Oh, why does my stomach hurt so suddenly..."
Lin Jiabao nervously helped Nanny Lin up, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, my stomach is not feeling well all of a sudden, oh... An Zhu, go in with Nanny Zhou. It's too impolite for me to see the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince like this." Nanny Lin said to An Zhu.
"Then what should you do, mother, is it important?" Lin Jiabao asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'll just go to Gong's room. You can go quickly." Nanny Lin said.
"No." Lin Jiabao entered the main hall with Nanny Zhou, carrying the food box.
In the main hall, the queen and the crown prince were sitting and talking, when the queen saw An Zhu coming in with a snack, Lin Jiabao knelt down to salute first. "An Zhu in the imperial room, and greet the empress and His Royal Highness the prince."
"Excuse me." The queen sized him up carefully. Indeed, as Nanny Zhou said, he is a child with a pleasant appearance.
The queen saw the magpie-shaped pastry on the plate, "What kind of pastry is this? The shape is very suitable for the occasion." "
Return to the empress, this is bird's nest cake. It is made of maltose, bird's nest crushed, sugar and cake powder. It tastes sweet. Today It's the Qiqiao Festival, and I specially used the mold of a magpie." Lin Jiabao replied cautiously.
