"In addition, those restaurant owners also give names to the cannonballs. They name the cannonballs such as Dragon and Phoenix, Prosperity, Ruyi Cannonball, Eight Treasures, Eight Treasures, Eight Flavors, Eight Blessings, and Eight Happiness Cannonballs. They are full of auspicious words, as if the ingredients they fill are precious enough.

The blessing and joy filled in it will be enough, and eating it will make you live a long life."

"At that time, the owners of various restaurants also made cannonballs that tasted bad, which made the nobles above unhappy. Whenever Tai Feng Restaurant made a new flavor of cannonballs, Boss Lu would ask me to come over and taste it. I felt that every time

The taste is almost the same and there is no difference, but it seems that Boss Lu can rest assured that there is no difference."

Qin Huai commented sharply: "Because there is no difference, it is the safest. Previously, the noble was satisfied with the taste, but was afraid that the taste would change and the noble would be dissatisfied and cause trouble."

In troubled times, even a cook is not safe.

"So, Sister Hong, do you know why the chefs at Tai Feng House can make the cannonballs with different ingredients taste the same?" Qin Huai asked.

Chen Huihong shook his head: "I don't know how to cook. How can someone who can chop vegetables to the heel at home know such a secret recipe? But I think I was just fooling around. At that time, all the major restaurants in Peking were fooling around.

His attitude fooled the noble people above."

"You have to be fooling in your actions, and you have to be full of words in your words. The taste of the dishes can be the same, but the ingredients must be different, the shape must be fancy, the name must be nice, and the meaning must be beautiful."

fool.

Qin Huai's hand holding the flower clip paused.

Wait, fool.

Qin Huai suddenly remembered the deep impression Gong Liang and Zheng Da had on that mince-filled glutinous rice dumpling.

Used a lot of winter melon sugar.

There were so many that Master Jing didn't prepare enough himself, so Zheng Da went home and plundered 5 pounds of winter melon candies to add more.

Because winter melon candy is one of the important ingredients for making mint fillings, no matter what kind of mint filling, winter melon candy is the absolute protagonist, so Qin Huai didn't pay much attention to it.

But what if Master Jing deliberately used such a large amount of winter melon candy?

If the true meaning of mincemeat is deception.

At that time, the nobles in Peiping were fighting for their fortunes, so worried that the owners of major restaurants lost their hair and cooked cannonballs in a deceptive way. The taste was not as good as the meaning. The eight treasures, eight blessings and eight joys, good fortune and fortune, dragon and phoenix, a happy marriage for a hundred years.

, longevity, the rarity and variety of ingredients are directly linked to auspicious meanings, the more you cherish, the better the meaning.

What if Master Jing thought the same way at that time?

When Chen Huihong was eating and drinking at Tai Feng House, the chef was Jiang Chengde. Master Jing's real name is Jiang Weijin, and he is the son of Jiang Chengde. At his age, he may not understand the story of the fight for wealth, but he must be familiar with those strange things.

I was deeply impressed by the weird cannon dolphins, and at the same time I remembered the beautiful meanings represented by these cannon dolphins.

Whether it’s Sixi Rice Balls or Clamp Flower Palace Lantern Buns, they are all foods with beautiful meanings.

Perhaps at that time, Master Jing used such complicated ingredients, used so much winter melon sugar, so many nuts, spent so much money, and finally made the dumplings with mince filling in a fool-proof way. He actually wanted to give the younger generation a beautiful meaning and meaning.

bless.

Eight treasures, eight joys and eight blessings, good fortune and wealth, a hundred years of good health, good health and a long life.

Qin Huai suddenly realized that he wanted to be simple, but also wanted to be complicated.

That meal was Gong Liang's birthday party, and it was also the birthday party for Gong Liang to get up from the bottom, regain his strength, regain hope in life, and start a new life.

Master Jing hoped that Gong Liang's future life would be like the blessing contained in Sixi Tangtuan, with smooth flow and no twists and turns.

So even though it was not necessary, he still made such complicated mince filling gnocchi.

Because the dumplings with mint filling this time were very special, Chef Jing has rarely made them since then.

After so many years, even the man who made the dumplings had been dead for many years, Qin Huai felt as if he was in a similar place, in a different time and space, and understood the good wishes of the master who made the dumplings.

Qin Huai silently styled the flower palace lantern bag.

Chen Huihong continued to eat winter dates.

She is waiting for the bunny bag.

After Qin Huai finished making the tongs and palace lanterns and steaming them in a pot, he could make a few rabbit buns for Chen Huihong during the steaming time and asked her to take the embryos back and give them to Huihui for breakfast tomorrow morning.

The tongs palace lantern is wrapped.

Qin Huai felt that his fingering skills should be upgraded.

These two flower-clamped palace lantern bags simply drained his energy for the whole night.

Ouyang pushed the door open at this moment, holding a cake in his left hand and baking cold noodles in his right hand. He still had half of an uneaten grilled sausage in his mouth. Two packets of white sugar could be seen vaguely on the side of the bag of cold noodles.

"Qin Huai, do you want to eat grilled cold noodles and hand cakes? They are delicious, I tell you, they are so delicious!" Ouyang asked loudly, pushed the door and walked into the kitchen, and was stunned when he saw the tonghua palace lantern bag on the steamer.

"Damn it, this bun..."

"Is it a little crooked?"

Qin Huai: "...shut up and stay out of the business of clamping flowers and palace lanterns."

"By the way, Ouyang, are you free tomorrow? If you are, go buy me 40 pounds of winter melon candies."

"I'm going to work hard on making gnocchi with mint filling."

With a snap, the cold baked noodles in Ouyang's hand fell to the ground.

40 pounds of winter melon candy, how many mince filling dumplings will be made!

Dad, I was wrong. Your flower bag is really beautiful. It’s not crooked at all. It was because I tilted my head just now that I looked crooked.

It’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful, it’s a work of art!

Let’s make less mince filling gnocchi.

I really can’t stand eating it every day!
