Chapter 28 Pumpkin Pie (1)

Li Yuan, the little prince of Pingxi County, is the only seedling in the entire Pingxi County Prince's Palace. The entire Pingxi County Prince's Palace swallows this single seedling in their mouths for fear of melting, and holds it in their hands for fear of falling. Being coaxed like this all the time, it is inevitable to be arrogant.

.

He had never done anything like bullying men and dominating women, but with Li Yuan's temperament, he would have killed him on the spot if the cruise ship was hit.

"Li Yuan and his boy passed out not long after they boarded the boat. It must have been that the air was sprinkled with poison." Lin Fei said, "Since the poison was used, the person who could drown someone might not have to be a tall and powerful man.

Even weaker men and women can do it, so don’t be constrained by this.”

Liu Yuan nodded and said "yes", and when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lin Fei say again: "Where was the sour plum drink packet from last time?"

Sour plum drink ingredient package? Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized: "What Lin Shaoqing was talking about was the ingredient package given by the lady at Zhao Ji Restaurant before?"

Lin Fei nodded, glanced at him, and said, "She sent it to express her gratitude."

Liu Yuan: "..." Shangfeng didn't think that just because he spoke with a face that kept strangers away would prevent people from hearing what he meant.

I sent it as a thank you...wasn't he and Lin Shaoqing helping with the affairs of Zhao Ji Restaurant that day?

In this way, the material package used to express gratitude naturally belongs to Lin Shaoqing.

But having said that, this was the first time he saw Lin Shaoqing asking for something. Could it be that the dish called fried noodles with eggs last time was so popular that Lin Shaoqing liked it?

When he thought of that dish, Liu Yuan couldn't hide the color on his face: The egg fried noodles last time made him and Bai Zhu and others feel intimidated by eating like this! He didn't expect Lin Shaoqing's taste to be so unique.

, why didn’t you notice Lin Shaoqing’s unique taste in the past?

Or... Lin Shaoqing's bowl is really different from theirs?

While he was still thinking wildly, he heard Lin Fei speak again: "Bring some here."

Liu Yuan: "...Yes."

He hasn't touched the package of sour plum drink ingredients yet! For people like him, it's too troublesome to cook something by yourself. So although he took it back happily, he didn't even move it and kept putting it away.

In the drawer of his desk.

After a quick trip, Liu Yuan simply brought a whole packet of sour plum drink ingredients to Lin Fei.

A lazy person like him wouldn't move, so instead of letting it break, he might as well give it to Lin Shaoqing.

Lin Fei took one look at it and took it without refusing.

…

…

After dusk, Ji Caimai went to open the door of the public kitchen warehouse, and Wen Mingtang took Ah Bing and Tang Yuan to pick out the ingredients.

It was probably because she was too "interested" in picking vegetables yesterday. Ji Caimai had a good impression of her and smiled at her and said: "You can choose the ingredients inside. When we do the unified shopping some time later, Master Wen will

If you make a list, you won't have to be so tied up these days."

Wen Mingtang smiled hurriedly and said politely: "No, the breakfast is just these kinds of things, it's useless. Thank you Ji Caimai for taking care of me!"

Being able to talk like this is even more satisfying. Ji Caimai nodded, indicating that she could go in.

Wen Mingtang led Ah Bing and Tangyuan into the warehouse. Without looking around to select, as if he had thought about it early in the morning, he took Ah Bing and Tangyuan to pick a few ingredients and walked out.

Seeing Wen Mingtang and others loading the ingredients onto the cart, Ji Caimai couldn't help but take a curious look. When he saw the ingredients on the cart, his eyes couldn't help but pause.

Brown sugar, peanuts, sesame seeds and flour.

"Master Wen, are you making pancakes?" After all, it was the public chef who bought them. Seeing these ingredients, he still had good sense.

Wen Mingtang nodded and said with a smile: "I want to make a cake." After a pause, before Ji Caimai could speak, she took the initiative and said, "Would you like to try Ji Caimai? Leave two for Ji Caimai tomorrow?"

Ji Caimai instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, who has never tasted cakes? But something went wrong. He thought of the reactions of the guards when he went to the prison for questioning yesterday.

They were full of praise for the morning meals of the past few days. They also said that after eating Master Wen's morning meal and then eating Master Wang and Master Sun's lunch and evening meals, it was as if they had gone straight to the eighteenth level of hell after going to the ninth heaven.

This metaphor finally made Ji Caimai curious. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay! Leave two for me and I'll come over early tomorrow."

Wen Mingtang responded with a smile.

…

…

Early the next morning, after boiling the porridge, Wen Mingtang took Ah Bing and glutinous rice balls and started making cakes.

Watching Wen Mingtang take out the steamed peeled pumpkin from the pot, Tangyuan couldn't help but wonder: "Can pumpkin be made into pancakes? I thought it could only be steamed and eaten!"

"Of course it's possible. Not only can it be made, but it's also delicious!" Wen Mingtang said, mixing the pumpkin into the flour and kneading it while adding water.

The dough mixed with pumpkin turns a light orange color, which is indeed more appetizing than the white dough you usually see.

The next step is to make the fillings. Wen Mingtang prepared two fillings: sesame filling and brown sugar peanut filling.

In comparison, sesame filling is very common and I have seen it a lot.

This was the first time they had seen this brown sugar peanut dumpling, and Ah Bing and Tangyuan couldn't help but be curious.

"Is it delicious?" A Bing asked.

Before Wen Mingtang could answer, Tangyuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think Master Wen's cooking is delicious?"

Wrap the inside of the dough into the pumpkin dough and press it slightly. Wen Mingtang took a bamboo skewer and pressed it on it a few times. After pressing out the lines of the pumpkin, a pumpkin cake was ready.

Looking at the small round cake shaped like a pumpkin, Ah Bing and Tangyuan didn't even blink.

They didn't know whether the pumpkin cake was delicious or not, but it definitely looked good and made people want to taste it and touch it after seeing it.

Wen Mingtang did it very quickly, and Ah Bing and Tangyuan also learned quickly. They quickly turned the large ball of pumpkin dough into pumpkin round cakes all over the table.

The next step is to fry the small round pumpkin cakes in oil until both sides are golden and take them out. To make it easier to distinguish, Wen Mingtang also specially sprinkled some black sesame seeds on top of the sesame-filled pumpkin cakes as a decoration.

Not surprisingly, the pumpkin pancakes fried in the first pot were divided between Ah Bing and the glutinous rice balls.

The two of them walked aside with the plates and picked them up with chopsticks. They could smell the rich pumpkin fragrance before they even entered their mouths.

The word "fragrance" in "color, fragrance" has already made people's index fingers twitch.

Ah Bing blew it and couldn't wait to bite it. The outside of the entrance was crispy, but the inside was soft and waxy. He bit it down gently, bringing out long strings. The scent of pumpkin mixed with the bitten inside.

The fragrance hits your nose.

Instead of the usual sesame filling, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan chose the brown sugar peanut filling. The brown sugar filling in the hot pumpkin cake has turned into a burnt brown brown sugar juice, which is surrounded by peanut chips of different sizes and flows into the mouth.

The aroma of brown sugar is mixed with the coarse and gritty texture of crushed peanuts. Both the aroma and taste are amazingly rich.

After taking a bite, the brown sugar juice was about to flow out. The two of them quickly stepped forward to suck the flowing out brown sugar juice, not wanting to waste a bite.

This is so delicious! Their eyes lit up as they ate it, and they kept nodding.

They can guarantee that no one with a sweet tooth will not like this pumpkin pie.

Wen Mingtang smiled as he watched Ah Bing and Tangyuan eating pumpkin cakes. He picked two that looked particularly good and put them aside, saying, "After eating, the cakes will be fried. Don't move those two until Ji Cai buys them."

before putting it in the pot."

After being honest for a few days, it was time to start building a good relationship with Ji Caimai.
