Tang Xiaoxiao is probably the first person in China and abroad to use fondant to make the Tang Dynasty food "Sweet Snow".

The sweet snow recorded in historical materials is a kind of hot noodles roasted with honey slowly (the tooth noodles are not clearly explained, some people infer it as clear flour, that is, wheat flour that removes tendons, and there is also a large number of noodles). It is called sweet snow because it tastes sweet and looks like snow.

But as He Luanzhi said, the sweet snow made in this way cannot be snow-white at all, let alone snow-shaped.

What is the shape of snow? At the macro level, it is a vast white area with fine salt on the cup, which can be called "silver bowl to hold snow"; at the micro level, it is a hexagonal flower, like a fluff ornament hanging in front of the window on Christmas.

After thinking about it, Xiaoxiao finally chose the abstract "snowflakes". For the sake of beauty, he specially made snow-white petals and sprinkled fine frosting on it, embellished with green pine needles and proudo snow red plums made of the same fondant, which added poetic interest. Fondant, I had the idea of ​​making it in Zhaozhou, but I never made tasteless fish glue until Ruiniang used beef bone glue to replace fish glue for a new attempt, and finally made the simple and tasteless "gelidin powder". With gelatin powder, and with corn syrup, sugar powder and oil fondant, it was born in Yuanlong Dynasty. It's that simple.

Using fondant as petals is the foundation. Although Xiaoxiao has not learned the complex fondant production, ordinary flowers are easy to use. With a certain artistic foundation, they design good-looking shapes and practice making them repeatedly. It is not difficult to succeed.

In order to add to the feeling of snow, the fondant candy sweet snow was specially refrigerated in the ice cellar, "Cool and sweet!" He Luanzhi bit half a snowflake, "Is this made of sugar and dripping crisps? How do I pinch it?"

"You have to ask the cook for the specific ingredients," Xiaoxiao said lightly and skipped the recipe, picked up a snowflake and smiled: "In fact, the method is similar to dough molding. Don't the dough makers on the street make them very vivid?"

Xia Liang didn't care about her weak spleen and stomach, so he also ate a piece of sweet snow: "This taste is much better than noodle people! If it is dyed, wouldn't it be colorful petals?"

Xizi only took a small sip: "I can't bear to eat the ice sculptures and jade."

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Di'er and smiled at everyone, "I've also prepared a red sweet snow."

When everyone heard this, they were looking forward to it.

After a while, Xiao Dier brought two small baskets of bamboo strips and placed them on the table, one with red roses and the other with red cherries.

Qiu Zisu was the first to smile and said, "I'm so smart. I can't tell the difference between the sweet snow petals and the real roses!" As he said that, he took out a red rose from the basket. As soon as he touched the rose, he was surprised and opened his eyes widened: "This is also made by Tianxue?!" Isn't that true, these sugars are a little sticky.

A basket of roses: blooming, half-open, buds, one by one, one with branches and leaves, and thorns, all made of fondant. Once you master the key points, Ruiniang's apprentices took a day to make them.

Everyone here picked up a rose and looked at it. Because it was too realistic, they didn't dare to eat it.

Qiu Zisu said: "This flower can enter the palace."

"Wouldn't it be simple to ask your sister to bring Tianxue into the palace?" He Luanzhi couldn't help but eat a piece of petal. Although the taste was good, it was no longer important to taste it. The ornamental value of Tianxue was higher than anything else.

Qiu Zisu nodded thoughtfully.

Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to be related to the palace at the moment. If you agree to take the route of the deep alley of Apricot Flowers and Spring Rain, you won’t go to the palace… “My grandmother has already presented the sweet snow to Guanglu Temple. If Qiu Lipin is willing, you can order this snack from the menu of Guanglu Temple. At that time, the Tang family will do their best to make it.” Xiaoxiao said.

Qiu Zisu smiled slightly, picked up another fondant cherry and ate it.

Xizi placed a few red petals and white petals together: "It's so beautiful! Because of the frosting, these petals are not sticky to their hands, and they taste convenient and elegant. If Yingyuan, if this sweet snow is presented to Guanglu Temple, will we ordinary people not be qualified to eat it again? I still think about making this at the rose banquet."

Xiaoxiao smiled: "People are allowed to eat, but they are not allowed to buy or sell before approval by Guanglu Temple. We should treat your rose banquet as a chef to a friend's house, and it is not considered a sale."

Even if you start buying and selling in the future, you don’t have to worry about being imitated: even if you take it back and study it for a few days or nights, you will not be able to figure out how it was made.

Several girls chose their favorite fondant flowers and fondant cherries, and they all had to take them home to see them for their families.

A thin-waisted maid came to He Luanzhi: "Girl, Miss Jin's letter has arrived."

He Luanzhi took the envelope and took it out and read it: "My cousin asked me to go to their house for summer vacation again. I'm afraid I won't have time in June, so why don't you ask them to come and attend the rose banquet together."

"It's not easy, just add a few posts." Xizi smiled and said again, looking at the envelope in He Luanzhi's hand: "Your family's rules are so strict. Do you have to pass this letter first?"

He Luanzhi smiled and said, "Who is not like this? It's just that she will stick it to the girl after seeing it. Our family saves trouble and even saves paste. After the elders have seen it, they will ask the girl to send it here."

This is too vague. I smiled and frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Is it impossible for men and women to communicate?"

"Although it is not explicitly prohibited, we must avoid suspicion," He Luanzhi laughed. "Sometimes everyone writes poems and plays on the letters. My cousin occasionally fills in two sentences, intending to write the words big so that the elders can see clearly. I just wish I could write them on the envelope to express my innocence."

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this, and it seemed that they all felt the same.

Xiaoxiao said, "It would be better to save the envelope and make it a letter."

"Mingxin?" Everyone thought Xiaoxiao was joking, and He Luanzhi said: "When the time comes, let Yingyuan make a message. We all use message to communicate, so that the Civil Information Bureau and the elders can all see our innocence!"

Xizi said: "Then it's almost the same as the style of the post." Sometimes, Xiaoxiao admires Xizi's intelligence, right? The invitations and postcards look a bit similar.

"Is your post done? Is it unique to the posts from the Scented Fragrance Club?" Xia Liang has no resistance to exquisite paper products, whether it is colored paper, invitations or the Four Seasons Calendar.

"It's just being done, it will definitely not disappoint everyone." Xizi looked at Xiaoxiao's rose banquet this time. The Wen family made up their minds to hold it big. The invitation styles were chosen for more than a dozen. Now that I have seen Yingyuan's Four Seasons Calendar, it has caused a lot of inspiration. But I don't know if these painters who paint the Four Seasons Calendar can agree to help them draw invitations. Just imagine, if those painters can draw invitations that match the theme of the Rose Banquet, it should be a highlight of the banquet!

Xia Liang smiled and said, "In my opinion, although Yingyuan doesn't talk much, she is the most apt tone. Today she is a newcomer. According to the rules of the society, she should bring a game to play with everyone. I'm really curious about what Yingyuan prepared?"

The boudoir game in daily life is nothing more than playing piano and chess, or reciting poems and painting fans. When the number of people is enough, they will play Leaf cards, play Shuanglu, Saihua Lake, or even talk about Liuren, and test characters... Today, this little girl who makes sweet snow will bring you what kind of surprises.

Xiaoxiao held his forehead and said with a smile: "I just took advantage of the arrival of the seed of the flower god abdicating and took the opportunity to send him to him."

He Luanzhi said in confusion: "On the day of the grassland, everyone always has to weave flower branches to make sedan horses for the flower god, and stack yarns to make dry flags and flags. Should we do this today?"

Xiaoxiao: "It's just a remark. What I'm preparing for today is Huajianzi."

"Oh, it turns out it's the flower paper," Xia Liang smiled, "I haven't played for a while."

"It's cooler outside. Why not go down the cherry tree in the yard to draw flowers and papers!" He Luanzhi asked everyone to go to the yard. The sky outside was no longer dazzling, and the wind coming from the lake had a little coolness.

The table and Hu bed had been set up under the cherry tree. Xizi and Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sit there first. They seemed to be a little flexible when they sat on it. Everyone also sat down one after another, and the girls brought purple bamboo shoot tea and all kinds of fresh fruits.

A bamboo plate with a green waist ended with more than a dozen fans inside for everyone to choose from.

"The fans are all made in new ways, just take them home if you choose the one you like." He Luanzhi shook the round black bone fan in his hand, and the fan was painted with a Tang Dynasty ladies.

When Xiaoxiao saw that one of the folding fans was particularly small, she picked it out and opened it and saw a pair of playing cats painted on it.

Here, Xiao Di'er had already set up the flower paper tube, and Xia Liang said first: "There are so many papers here, twice as much as we usually play with."

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "It is to prepare a novel game, so naturally it cannot be the same as the flower paper we usually draw."

This sentence once again aroused everyone's curiosity and said with a smile: "I have been with my father since I was a child. I have been to many places all over the world, even overseas. Because I love flowers and plants, I pay special attention to those rare plants, and most of them are drawn for reservations. Different flowers and plants have different meanings overseas. I will call them "flower language" for the time being, and I will use them as the flower appreciation words on our flower paper today!"

Flower language, flowers are speechless, and flower language is just people’s feelings for flowers.

Xiaoxiao is also selfish. Since she mentioned the fresh cut flowers at the Wen family last time, she has been worried that she has hoped to open a flower shop since her previous life, but it has not been opened for various reasons. Now, my mother has two ready-made empty shops, but she can use one to sell flowers. With such a large resource from the Wen family, are you afraid that you will not sell it?

Looking back on my previous life, I once had the opportunity to play the second female lead in an idol drama. I was an intellectual and elegant flower artist. So Xiaoxiao worked hard to memorize lines containing large pieces of flower knowledge, and took the initiative to check a lot of knowledge about plants and flowers. She studied hard and failed to defeat the unspoken rules. Later, this character was snatched by Bai Lianhua. In the end, Tang Xiaoxiao became the fourth female lead, and needed to tear and roar hysterically every day, rush into the second female lead's flower room, knocking all the flowers to the ground, without lines, just roaring with disheveled hair. This character was portrayed very successfully by Xiaoxiao, and fully exerted the hatred of the fourth female lead against the second female lead.
