Chapter 210: Most of the Pastries in the Shang Dynasty Were Green Bean Cakes and Osmanthus Cakes

However, Ye Lulu was already mentally prepared. After changing the environment, the conditions were completely different. There were many restrictions in ancient times, so she only tried this out.

It was expected that they would be baked like this. She would give a score of six or seven out of ten.

However, if she wanted to sell the salted egg yolk puff pastries, she had to try a few more times until she could do it.

Ye Lulu was not dejected. She just calculated in her heart. As she turned around…

She met pairs of eyes.

“What is this?!” Fifth Brother Guan forgot about the pain from Ye Lulu’s attack just now. He stared at the pastries in Ye Lulu’s hand excitedly and asked passionately.

He was excited and swallowed his saliva.

Damn, this fragrance was amazing!

Furthermore, these pastries looked very different. They were round and strangely cute. Furthermore, they were baked until they were golden yellow. There were even black sesame seeds sprinkled on the top!

They looked very delicious!

The fragrance was unfamiliar but mellow!

Perhaps it should be said that the pastries from the Shang dynasty were mostly green bean cakes and osmanthus cakes. Their characteristics were sticky, sweet, or soft. This was because pastries were traditionally thought to be expensive things. They were eaten by wealthy nobles, weak elders, or children. It was naturally not that other adults could not eat pastries, but most families could not afford them. It was rare for them to grit their teeth and buy pastries. Most of them were for the elderly and children to eat.

Among the types of pastries, the hardest was probably walnut pastry. However, there were really not many types. Furthermore, it was very difficult to find new combinations and textures.

In ancient times, this could be considered a ‘secret recipe.’

Therefore, when Ye Lulu revealed this move, the entire Guan family was convinced by the fragrance of the salted egg yolk puff pastry.

Ye Lulu put down the pastries on the table. “This is called salted egg yolk puff pastry. It requires a lot of ingredients. I only made one for each family member. It’s too exhausting. Everyone, try it.”

“It’s an expensive thing.” Eldest sister-in-law Guan and the rest’s gazes immediately changed.

However, they did not blame Ye Lulu for being extravagant and wasteful.

The Guan family was considered one in a million. They had a harmonious family and the daughters-in-law would use whatever they had at home. Mother Rong rarely restricted them.

However, Eldest sister-in-law Guan and the rest followed Mother Rong’s instructions sincerely.

As for Ye Lulu, Mother Rong did not even ask her what ingredients she had used. She only wanted to know what this fragrant new pastry tasted like. She wondered if she could sell it.

She only focused on doing business.

“Hurry up and try it.” Ye Lulu took one herself. She couldn’t eat the skewers earlier on. There was no reason why she couldn’t eat this salted egg yolk puff pastry. Even if there was a taboo about breastfeeding, she didn’t care. It was just one pastry. She would eat it. She couldn’t hold it in any longer!

The Guan family reached out to take one. Mother Rong took a bite and her eyes immediately lit up. She was the first to speak, but she could not say anything. “This… this is too… expensive…”

Eldest sister-in-Law Guan and the rest were also dumbfounded. They bit down on the crispy pastry skin, bean paste, and a little salted egg yolk. It was extremely rich, crispy, and sweet. The layered texture and flavor…

What an expensive food item.

Guan Chixi ate happily. “Delicious! I know it’s delicious just by smelling it. The taste is awesome!”

Ye Lulu also took a careful bite. When the fragrance of eggs filled her mouth, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
