Good man, he has a golden finger
Chapter 208: Distributing Longevity Cakes
Seeing Zhuzhu'er eat it, the queen mother felt a little embarrassed to eat a little person who looked like her, but the sweet taste of the cake was really irresistible, so she also tasted the soft cake under the little person. It was very soft and sticky after entering the mouth, and it tasted sweet and fragrant, which made the queen mother squint her eyes immediately.
This cake is really good, not only beautiful, but also different from other snacks.
"Mother, is it delicious? When you have your birthday, I will prepare a few big cakes for you, okay? And the recipe for making cakes will also be given to the imperial kitchen. When the time comes, mother, just tell her when she wants to eat it."
This cake was customized by Xie Tingzhou in modern times, but in fact, if he had the limited supplies in the Great Yong Dynasty, he could also make cakes, but it might be more complicated and not so exquisite.
"I knew Zhuzhu was thinking about me. This cake is really good, soft and delicious, and more interesting than the cakes in the imperial kitchen."
The queen mother was really happy. After all, this year's New Year's Day was lively and lively, and her youngest son was back. How could a mother not be happy?
There is also the queen mother's mother's family. Many of them secretly look at the Anle King beside the emperor. Many children are younger than the Anle King, but older than the Anle King. For this resurrected Anle King, they naturally want to get close.
After all, they are all blood relatives, so seeing the queen mother so happy, how can you not be happy with it?
"That's good, mother, try this fondant, this fondant is not bad."
In fact, for modern people, fondant is very hard and tastes very sweet. This kind of fondant needs special production and shaping, which is naturally different from soft cakes, but for people in the Great Yong Dynasty, they like this kind of candy because it tastes sweeter.
The Queen Mother tasted the fondant and found it was indeed cool and sweet.
The Emperor and Queen on the side also watched Zhuzhu coaxing her mother to eat candy, and they ate the cake and fondant without hesitation. It can be said that they were really happy.
The Crown Prince and many princes below exchanged their cakes and admired each other, and then ate them reluctantly.
After all, this is a good thing given by the emperor. If you don't eat it, it will be disrespectful to the emperor.
But this kind of candy is still too sweet compared to the candy of the Great Yong Dynasty, making everyone who eats it have shining eyes. The ancients love sweetness, it is not fake.
Each of the officials below has his own piece of cake, but those who brought their families to the banquet still let their wives and children taste a few bites first. They really kept the fondant on it.
One general even stood up and told the emperor that his mother had never tasted such good food, and he wanted to take the cake given by the emperor back home for his mother to taste, to show his filial piety.
The emperor naturally agreed after hearing this, after all, he also liked officials with filial piety. Seeing that the emperor agreed, other officials also secretly kept the fondant and planned to take it back home for their mother and father to taste.
Xie Tingzhou said to the emperor beside him.
"Brother Prince, on the day of my mother's birthday, I will prepare a lot of cakes, okay? When the time comes, we can have fun with the people. Not only can we let the officials bring the fondant to our old parents at home to taste, but we can also distribute it to the people in Beijing to celebrate my mother's birthday together. What do you think, brother prince?"
If it were anyone else, the emperor would naturally look down on these foods and think that such things would not be a worry, but the person who spoke was his younger brother, so the emperor naturally had a different opinion.
"Of course it's great. Listen to Zhuzhu'er. In a few days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother will certainly be willing to celebrate with the people."
After he agreed, Xie Tingzhou smiled, with a rare sense of wantonness, which made the officials below accidentally see the "innocent" smile of Prince Anle, and understand more about the love and affection of the emperor for this younger brother.
If he was not given enough love, how could such a person show such an innocent look without any calculation?
The Queen Mother on the side was silent, listening to her two sons celebrating her birthday, and she was naturally in a good mood. The old nanny on the side also whispered.
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty and the Prince are thinking of you. When your birthday comes, the whole capital will bless you."
This old nanny is actually very old. She has been with the Empress Dowager when she was still young. Seeing that the Empress Dowager is so happy in her old age, she is naturally happy for her. She should have left the palace earlier, but she couldn't bear to leave the Empress Dowager, so she stayed in the palace.
The Empress Dowager smiled and felt that the fondant in her mouth was sweeter.
This kind of New Year is naturally lively and festive, making people feel comfortable all night.
Besides, after eating the cake, there is a formal banquet. The civil and military officials suddenly found that compared with the cold dishes in previous years, this year's dishes are all hot. Looking at the emperor on the high platform who is caring about Prince Anle, everyone understands the mystery.
Sitting next to the prince was Anle Prince Xie Jinyu. Seeing his father and uncle being so close, he couldn't help but smile. His eyes slightly raised, and he turned to look at Xie Jinyu like his father.
"Brother Jinyu, I wish you and I could be like my father and uncle."
He took the initiative to extend an olive branch. In fact, earlier, the crown prince Xie Jinchen knew that Xie Jinyu and himself were both sons of his father. Later, when he was in the imperial study, he took good care of Xie Jinyu and did not have any bad thoughts about him after he was adopted out.
It was just that after Xie Jinyu knew a little about his situation, he did not like to get together with the other princes.
Now that the crown prince took the initiative to speak, Xie Jinyu was also stunned for a moment. Looking at the favor of the emperor to his father, he couldn't help but compare it in his heart. It was impossible. The crown prince would never treat him as well as the emperor treated his father, because the emperor only had his father in his eyes, and even the children like them had to be ranked behind.
"Of course."
Thinking so in his heart, Xie Jinyu still agreed. He thought, maybe he didn't need to be friendly and respectful to the crown prince, because as long as King Anle was alive, he could live under the wings of King Anle.
Because although this father was a little unreliable, he was really trying hard to be a father.
The banquet ended with a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere. The Queen Mother went to rest, the Emperor and the Empress left, and Xie Tingzhou also returned to Zhaoyang Palace to rest.
The ministers who left the palace returned home the next day and showed the fondant given by the Emperor to their parents at home.
Such beautiful and real fondant made these old parents very happy. They were willing to eat the fondant bite by bite under the constant urging of their sons. The new year seemed to be as sweet as this fondant.
The Yong Dynasty also had annual leave. Officials were busy now, taking two days off and one day off. After all, going to court was one thing, and helping to handle the Queen Mother's birthday was another thing.
Fifteen days later, it would be the Queen Mother's birthday, and the capital was even more lively.
And Xie Tingzhou was also very busy. In order to give his mother a surprise, Xie Tingzhou put his plan together early. After listening to so many detailed plans, the emperor also agreed very much and told Xie Tingzhou not to be too busy. While taking care of himself, he also started to help.
Xie Tingzhou has been shuttling between the modern times and the Great Yong Dynasty these days. After Wei Qiang set up a company, she became a strong woman who was vigorous and decisive. She was very accurate in negotiating contracts and kept the prices very low. Especially after she knew that these compressed biscuits and canned food were for some poor people abroad, she worked even harder.
Various materials were constantly delivered to the large warehouse in the suburbs of Shangjing City. They went in from the front and out from the back. The things in the warehouse were put in. When they went out, Wei Qiang didn't care, but at least she knew the whereabouts from her boyfriend. She was very busy recently.
Fourteen days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Wanshou Festival came. In the morning of this day, the people in the capital just got up early and heard someone shouting outside.
"Today is the birthday celebration of the Queen Mother. On the day of her longevity, she will celebrate with the people. All families with elderly people over 50 years old can go to the east and west sides of the city gate with their household registration to receive the Wanshou cakes given by the Queen Mother..."
The repeated voices were heard by people in the west of the capital, and the young couple woke up from their beds.
"Did you hear that? The Queen Mother said she would send longevity cakes on her birthday. If you have a fifty-year-old in your family, you can go get them. I have to get up quickly and take my parents' household registration to get the longevity cakes. Maybe my parents can be as old as the Queen Mother after eating them..."
The man hurriedly got up to get the longevity cakes, fearing that he would be late and miss them.
In the Yong Dynasty, people were about fifty years old, and being over sixty was already very impressive. If there were any elderly people over fifty in the family, it proved that the descendants of the family were at least filial. Otherwise, when people were old, they would be tortured to death by eating less.
The emperor, in connection with himself, naturally hoped that all children in the world would be filial, and all parents in the world would be safe and happy.
This longevity cake was the egg cake recipe given by Xie Tingzhou. In fact, the emperor had arranged for it to be made, but the process was too complicated and the ingredients were too much, so it was better for Xie Tingzhou to buy it directly.
He bought it wholesale at a low price. He bought a whole box of bulk egg cakes. A few days ago, they were all shipped to the capital. There was no problem feeding tens of thousands of people.
So the common people who heard the sound got up in a hurry, took their parents' household registration and went to line up to receive the longevity cake.
They all held their bowls at home, wondering what the longevity cake was. Even when they were queuing, they could already smell the sweet smell, which made people want to swallow their saliva.
As we all know, the fragrance of egg cake is really fragrant, which is definitely the most favorite and heart-warming for the people of Dayong Dynasty who have never seen the world.
There were even officials who came to line up in the morning. In order to show their love for their parents, they came to line up with the people in person, without asking for help, and they didn't even need servants at home.
Wang Er, who got up early, quickly came to the front of the line and handed over his parents' household registration.
"Official, this is my parents. They are both 51 years old this year and are still doing well. On behalf of my parents and my wife and children at home, I wish the Empress Dowager a long life, wealth and glory."
He talked about the words he had just overheard, with a nervous smile on his face. The official took the household register, recorded his name and the names of his parents, and then gave him four longevity cakes.
"Your Majesty is a pure filial son. I think you pure filial sons should also be rewarded. These two are for your parents, and the other two are for your wife and children."
After hearing this, Wang Er was so excited that he held the longevity cake in his hand and wanted to kneel down. He also knew that he couldn't cry on the Queen Mother's big day, so he quickly laughed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen Mother! Your Majesty is a true dragon emperor, and the Queen Mother is a fairy who has descended to the earth! God will definitely bless them with longevity!!!"
