Chapter 213 Sushan
Mao Xi took some frozen milk ice cubes, processed the ice cubes into a smooth smoothie with a hand-cranked ice machine, piled it on the plate to look like a hill, and put a spoonful of ghee on the top of the mountain.
Ghee is shaken by hand. The fresh milk is placed in a bamboo tube and shaken continuously. The ghee floating on the top layer is the ghee. After cooling, it tastes silky and has a mellow milky aroma.
The assistant cook, A Yuan, was peeling fruit on the side. Mao Xi took some strawberries and placed them at the bottom of the cake, and then placed a strawberry on top of the butter. The strawberry cake was ready.
In addition to using strawberries, mangoes can also be used to make mango cakes. Red beans and small glutinous rice balls are paired together to make red bean and glutinous rice cakes.
Maoxi launched Sushan in five flavors: strawberry, mango, red bean, coconut, and lychee. The price per serving is only 12 Wen. It is cheap, delicious, and pleasing to the eye.
This Sushan was originally a summer cold drink made by the palace. Nowadays, ice cubes have become popular in counties and towns. However, this Sushan method is only sold in large restaurants, and a serving costs more than 20 yuan.
Mao Xi's Fruit Crispy Mountain has attracted diners with its low price, and the old customers in the candy shop gradually returned.
A Yuan took Mao Xi's hand and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper, the old customers are really back."
"Shopkeeper, are you there?" Yan Xiaoxia is a frequent customer of the candy shop. He has the habit of drinking tea in the afternoon, especially pearl milk tea.
Mao Xi recognized Yan Xiaoxia and stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Yan, do you want some pearl milk tea?"
Yan Xiaoxia pointed to the food sign and asked: "Shopkeeper, I see you have a new store in Sushan. These five flavors are all fruit-flavored. Is there any pearl milk tea flavor?"
"Yes!! Mr. Yan, wait a moment."
Mao Xi turned around and entered the kitchen. There was no ready-made frozen milk tea ice in the shop, so she first used basic milk ice and butter to make the base of the mountain, then poured a cup of milk tea on the ice, and finally poured a spoonful of brown sugar pearls on the top of the mountain.
The milk tea dyes the ice into a light brown color, and the amber-like brown sugar pearls are dotted on the top of the mountain, making this cold drink less visually monotonous.
A spoonful of smoothie, with the milky aroma of butter, the mellow aroma of milk tea, and the softness of pearls. Yan Xiaoxia finished eating and said excitedly: "A spoonful of milk tea ice, a mouthful of pearl balls, such a crisp in the hot summer." It’s beautiful when accompanied by mountains.”
"Master Yan, walk slowly and come often. There will be new flavors of Sushan tomorrow!"
After seeing Yan Xiaoxia off, Mao Xi returned to the kitchen and began grinding green tea powder and brewing matcha with milk.
"Shopkeeper, this matcha is also going to be poured on Sushan?" A Yuan was a little confused.
"Yes, if there are customers who want black tea-flavored Suzan, there will naturally be customers who also like matcha-flavored Suzan."
Sure enough, an older passer-by came to the shop and asked the waiter Atang if he had ice-cold green tea.
Mao Xi stepped forward and recommended Matcha Sushan to them.
"Sir, the shop has launched a variety of new fruity snacks today, as well as milk tea and matcha flavors. Would you like to try the matcha flavor?"
"Did you add milk to your matcha?"
"Exactly! Sir, have you ever tasted the matcha milk from the shop?"
The passer-by waved his fan and said with a smile: "Maybe you don't recognize me, shopkeeper. When I went out for business, I often went to your Liuxiang Snacks to buy tea and coffee. Then give me a matcha-flavored one." , not too sweet.”
"Sir, this Sushan dish is more delicious with red beans. Do you want to add it to Sushan?"
"As you said, I want to taste what this palace cold drink tastes like."
Matcha is poured on top of a mountain of milk ice, ghee is drizzled on top, and a spoonful of honey red beans is garnished.
Red and green, it looks like a green mountaintop full of fruit trees, just like its name.
The smoothie of red beans and matcha has a milky aroma on the tip of the tongue. The matcha tastes slightly bitter, but it alleviates the greasiness of milk and ghee.
The honey-made red beans are soft with a hint of sweetness, and the green tea has a faint bean aroma wafting in the breeze.
The aroma of tea, bean and frankincense are combined into one, lingering in the mouth...
This old passer-by has been immersed in the realm of this matcha cake and cannot extricate himself.
The diners in Bianshan saw how good this Sushan dish was, and the old passers-by looked like they were enjoying themselves and ordered this cold drink one after another.
Atang: "The shopkeeper added five portions of Matcha Susan. Another guest was asking if there is a green tea Sushan without adding milk?"
"Yes, please ask the guest officer to wait."
Without milk, green tea alone seemed too light. In order to increase the taste of this dish, Mao Xi took a piece of pure ice.
Pour jasmine green tea into the bottom of the tasteless smoothie, drizzle ghee on the top of the mountain, and place a circle of jasmine flowers at the bottom.
"Sir, your Jasper Sushan tastes like jasmine and green tea." Mao Xi walked through the candy shop carrying new products.
At this moment, Ma Baili had driven Ma Baili's carriage back to the Tang Shui Shop.
"Brother Ma, have you found your carriage?"
"The wheels of the carriage are a little broken. I took them to be repaired. Thank you for your pony carriage today. When the carriage is repaired in two days, I will help you transport the fruit."
Ma Xi didn't see Mu Zhiyuan at the door, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, why didn't Brother Mu come back with you?"
"He found some incense powder scattered by the thief on my carriage, and took him and Zhang Putou to Ranji Incense Shop for questioning."
"Just find the car. Are the government officials chasing the murderer?"
"Looking at the route, he fled towards Beidu. Two government officials chased him along the road."
At dusk, Mao Xi took the time to visit the medical bureau and asked about the market price of Polygonatum japonica.
The medical officer checked the Huang Jing provided by Miao Xi, nodded frequently, and accepted Miao Xi's inventory for ten taels.
"It's really easy to make money selling medicinal materials." Mao Xi wanted to go to the countryside to pick some more, but seeing that it was already dark, he went back to Liuxiang Snacks.
After Mu Zhiyuan finished investigating from Ranji Incense Shop, he and Zhang Captou also came to the snack shop.
As soon as Zhang Putou sat down, everyone gathered around him, Lou Lan'er was particularly enthusiastic.
"Zhang Captou, you haven't been to Liuxiang Snacks for a while. Did you catch the car thief? He's not really a man disguised as a woman, is he?"
Lu Da took a pot of rice wine, poured a glass for Zhang Captou, and brought a plate of pork head meat: "Zhang Captou, these are your favorite pork head meat and rice wine. Please tell us about the case?"
Zhang Captou drank a little wine and talked more: "We haven't caught him yet, and we can't be completely sure yet, but his two young apprentices made the matter very clear. You women don't want to have sex with strangers." A close friend, especially one who is good at needlework!”
Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan also went to the incense shop, Mao Xi pulled him aside and asked, "Brother Mu, are you sure? Is it really Wei Yong who stole the carriage?"
"I gave the fragrant powder left in the car to Ranchen for identification, and she confirmed that the fragrant powder was her newly made lychee incense. And... other clues were found in the car,
Wei Yong changed into women's clothes in the car and left them in the car. I saw that the fabric of the clothes was not produced in Lingnan, but from a time-honored cloth shop in Beidu. "
"Brother Mu, are you going to Beidu again?"
"I won't go this time. Those government officials have already chased me all the way. They should ask the local government officials to cooperate and pursue the investigation with the cloth. Weiyong will not be able to escape."
While everyone was discussing the case, a yamen servant hurried over to bring some snacks.
"Zhang Tou, go back and take a look. Wei Yong's two captured apprentices have escaped!"
"What do you do as a guard? How can you escape even if you are locked in a prison?" Zhang Captou immediately stood up and prepared to go back to the cell to check.
"According to the jailer's recollection, the two thieves pretended to be children and escaped in the dark."
"Is this Wei Yong's disguise technique really so powerful?!"
