Shen Anyan was chatting with Chen Aoyi in the lobby. When the two women were together, they only had cosmetics and bags.

When they were talking about her ex-boyfriend's facial mask, Su Zifang came out carrying an exquisite tray with two rows of prepared strawberry daifuku and snow meiniang.

There is also a pot of black tea on the tray, which is just right to drink with it.

"You are becoming more and more sensible, and you also know that tea should be served with refreshments." Chen Fanyi did not hesitate to praise Su Zifang for taking the opportunity, and pretended to look at Shen Anyan in surprise: "Anyan, what kind of dessert is this? It feels like what you little girls like to eat."

"It's Neon's refreshments, Snow Meiniang and Strawberry Dafu." Shen Anyan explained carefully, and also told Chen Aoyi the origins of these two refreshments.

As early as the Muromachi period, many Portuguese and Western missionaries traveled across the ocean to come to Neon. With them, they brought food with them, including many Western desserts, chicken cakes, Jinpei candy, etc.

Inspired by the cake, Neon invented a food called "quail cake". It was also wrapped in glutinous rice skin, but the filling was only red bean filling. It was much larger than the current Dafu, and was somewhat similar to the size of domestic pies.

However, due to the high price of sugar in the early days, the taste of the quail cake was salty, and the red bean paste inside was also very grainy. It was not considered exquisite at all, but was just a food used by ordinary Neon families to satisfy their hunger.

After Monk Jianzhen traveled eastward and brought with him the technology of sugar extraction, sugar gradually became popular, and this was the second development of quail cake.

It is said that an ordinary woman made improvements when making quail cakes, not only reducing the size, but also adding sugar to the red bean paste and glutinous rice skin. As a result, the taste of the quail cakes improved dramatically, and it became the prototype of Daifuku today. .

Because the newly made quail cake refers to the fruit technology of the Tang Dynasty, in order to commemorate this tradition, it is named Wagashi.

After the tea ceremony was introduced to neon, drinking tea became a symbol of nobility. Sen no Rikyu, the originator of the neon tea ceremony, combined the tea ceremony with wagashi. According to different solar terms, festivals, and sacrifices, he paired different wagashi with different wagashi to establish a set of elegant and popular tastes. system.

This makes wagashi, which was originally only used as tea snacks, have more meaning.

For example, in order to reflect the sense of elegance of literati and aristocrats, wagashi must pay attention to color matching and seasonal changes. Food can be used as a metaphor for scenery. Although people are sitting at home, the scenery comes from in front of them.

Under such requirements, wagashi has also developed from a single white glutinous rice skin to a colorful skin, cherry pink in spring, kudzu green in summer, maple red in autumn, and snow white in winter.

Later, in order to reflect the craftsmanship of wagashi, categories such as raw wagashi, half-raw wagashi, and dried wagashi were derived based on the water content of wagashi.

Because the fruit has a delicate and soft texture that melts in your mouth. There are also high-level fruit-making artists who specialize in making the fruit. They imitate flowers, birds, fish, landscapes and other shapes in different seasons. They are beautifully made and can be called tea scene art. Known as the best refreshment.

After Shen Anyan explained seriously, she looked at the tray on the table: "The two types made by Zi Fang are actually not suitable for pairing with black tea. Matcha would be better."

"An Yan knows so much." Chen Aoyi praised with a smile.

"No way, I just happened to learn flower arrangement from Ye Zheng for a while. It happens that fruit and flower arrangement are part of the tea ceremony, so I learned more about it."

"There are not many young people today who are willing to learn." Chen Fanyi said, looking at Su Zifang intentionally or unintentionally, "Anyway, Miss Shen is much better than my less mature son."

Su Zifang:......

"You can get slapped in the face? You can get shot while lying down? Also, it's not advisable to step on one! Be careful, mom!"

Before the inner drama was over, Shen Anyan's words had already been spoken.

"Auntie, you have really misunderstood Su Shuai. He is very talented in cooking. I believe he will inherit grandpa's ambition and carry forward Shibuyu."

Su Zifang was confused when listening to the conversation between the two.

How can we have afternoon tea and still talk about ourselves until we can make a difference?

And how did Shen Anyan know about her grandfather? It seems that Chen Fanyi and Shen Anyan brought a lot of personal information when they chatted.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Fanyi said that he had made an appointment with an old classmate to go shopping and asked Su Zifang to sit with Shen Anyan for a while.

"Mom! When did you have old classmates in Jingling?" Su Zifang expressed shock! He didn't bother to contact his classmates when he came to Jingling, but it turned out that his mother already had old classmates who could go shopping.

Are the interpersonal relationships among the middle-aged and elderly square dance troupe so strong?

"It's weird? I advertise for you on WeChat Moments every day. After seeing it, my old classmates came from Linzhou to play with me."

Su Zifang:???

My mother advertises Shibuyu in WeChat Moments, but I don’t even know it? Is it because the boss is unqualified or the employees are too awesome?

Suspiciously, he opened Chen Aoyi’s WeChat Moments.

A horizontal line.

This circle of friends is only open to designated people.

Okay, this is very motherly.

Su Zifang silently raised his phone and gave Chen Chuanyi a look that he understood.

"I clearly set it so that you can see it. Wait, let me take a look." Facing the irrefutable evidence, Chen Aoyi still didn't believe it and wanted to make a final struggle.

"Haha, woman!" Su Zifang tilted his head, indicating that he didn't want to hear this explanation.

After helping Chen Yuyi reopen his circle of friends, Su Zifang finally saw the content of the advertisement that his mother mentioned.

The older one is from when the store first opened.

"I bought my son a shop in Jingling. I hope he can inherit my father-in-law's craftsmanship and develop the restaurant. But this kid doesn't know about our purchase of the shop yet, so he has to keep a low profile."

"My son has graduated. I wonder how I will feel when I see his shop? Will I think I am a rich second generation, hahaha!"

"It's open, it's open, everyone near Jingling will come and feed me a meal, and I'll reimburse you!"

"Yesterday I cleaned up the warehouse and sent all the dry goods from home. I don't know how my son's business is going. The mortgage loan is quite stressful. Tsk, tsk, tsk?"

"I've arrived in Jingling. Where is the person who promised me to treat me to dinner? Make an appointment!"

This article has all the comments: "The modification is a matter of oath, not egg."

Su Zifang couldn't help but hold his forehead, his mother was really bold and unruly.

After a rough scan, there are still a few latest ones.

"I just talked with the China Merchants Group about the Qingtuanzi cooperation. Bacon, shrimp, salted egg yolk...it's all meat! If you want to eat, please contact me privately. It's high quality and low price."

"The tea snacks made by my son are Japanese-style wagashi. They are called Strawberry Daifuku and Snow Mei Niang. They have nice names. They should be delicious. If there is anything you want to eat, please leave a message and I will eat it for you."

…

During this period, there were many messages from my father in my circle of friends.

"My wife is the best!", "I graduated from Old Nanfang, yes, and now I open my own restaurant.", "It's very popular now, it's very prosperous!"

Full of dog food and show off.

I don’t know why, but Su Zifang’s eyes were a little moist when looking at Chen Aoyi’s WeChat Moments.
Chapter completed!
