With the first bowl, there will be a second bowl and a third bowl.
As long as you control the temperature, you can roast white sugar into caramel. The following steps are just repetitive.
Cheng Xi got started successfully after baking three caramel puddings in succession. He mastered the heat so well that the three people next to him looked at each other in shock. In the end, Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu couldn't help but start. A wave of experiments.
So when the seven or eight meat and vegetable dishes were all brought to the table, the caramel pudding divided into several small portions became the most inconspicuous but the most eye-catching dish.
“Sister-in-law, what is this?”
Qin Foodie Zheng was the first to notice the difference. He had no choice but to do it. As someone who always paid attention to the Shen family's food table, he had a pair of eyes that looked for trouble and immediately locked onto the difference.
“It’s a dessert that children like to eat.”
Of course, adults can eat it too, otherwise there wouldn’t be a bowl in front of each person.
"Dessert, can you eat it now?"
"Eat it, there are not so many rules."
Cheng Xi's words were like pressing some kind of mechanism that opened up a mysterious world. After hearing this, Qin Zheng immediately abandoned the rules he had learned since childhood and took the lead in holding up the small bowl to observe, but before he could taste it, he said "Eh".
“Why is this called dessert hot on top and cold on the bottom?”
Is it true that alternating hot and cold will not upset your stomach?
While he was confused, Xiao Fengfeng had already picked up the matching spoon and started to move towards his portion. He took a small spoon and put it into his mouth along with the caramel shell and the pudding below.
“Wow.”
"Wow~"
"Wow!"
So sweet, so chewy, so delicious!
(*^▽^*)
Little Douding was immediately captured by the wonderful taste of caramel pudding. His big dark eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit with joy, and he had a chubby little face. It's all about enjoyment.
Have another bite!
Although Yu Hefeng's movements were small, he was not slow at all. He dug out half of the small bowl in a few clicks, and his little mouth kept moaning in admiration.
This scene all fell into the eyes of Qin - the foodie - Zheng. He didn't care about the alternation of hot and cold. He couldn't help it anymore and headed for his own share. The moment the caramel pudding entered his mouth, his eyes were the same. Narrowed.
“Delicious!”
The taste is really amazing!
The caramel shell is still slightly hot, with a sweet burnt aroma, but the pudding base underneath is cold, very firm and tender, put it in your mouth and taste it slowly, it has a faint aroma of eggs, which matches the milk. The aroma is mixed, slightly sweet, and full of aftertaste.
The taste is amazing and the taste is even more amazing!
“Hmm, sister-in-law, how did you come up with such a complicated and ingenious dessert?”
“Both the recipes and the dessert recipes were all given to me by chance. , do you think I am a genius?”
“Ah? Then I can’t get this recipe?”
Recipes are usually family secrets. In ancient times, getting one of them was enough for the rise and fall of the family, and it was strictly forbidden to be passed on to others.
But it’s not quite right. My sister-in-law also shared it with them before. What’s going on?
Cheng Xi saw through the thoughts of Yu Heting and Qin Zheng at a glance and explained:
"The master said when he taught me the recipe that the essence of good food lies in sharing, not blindly eating it. "Hide it deep."
It's just that there is more than one master.
"Is there such a transparent person in this world? He is truly an expert!" Yu Heting exclaimed, instantly equating Cheng Xikou's master with a powerful hermit.
So when the meal was over, the two of them each got a recipe with caramel pudding written on it, and walked out of Shen's house holding their full stomachs as if they had found a treasure. Small courtyard.

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is the full moon feast for the children of the Song Dynasty.
It was a rare sunny day, and the warm sunshine shone on the body, giving it a bit of warmth. People couldn't help but squint their eyes comfortably, as if the biting cold wind of the previous few days had never appeared.
As an ordinary-looking carriage stopped at the door of Song Mansion, two slim and graceful figures appeared in everyone's eyes.
“Hey, whose carriage is this? It looks very unfamiliar!”
“I don’t recognize it either, I’ve never seen it before in Beijing.”
< br>A carriage that was as ordinary as dust could not arouse the interest of others. Even if it parked in front of the Song Mansion, it would only allow passers-by to take a casual look. However, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, everyone's sights that had been casually scanning suddenly stopped. Down.
Today, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi were wearing the same dark red cloaks. The sleeves and neck were covered with a layer of furry thickened fox fur. Their black hair was rolled up casually and fixed with a hosta. Although their makeup was light and elegant, they still showed a sense of elegance. .
The female relatives who came together at the door of the mansion looked curiously and saw that the older woman was half a head taller and had a slightly cold temperament. The little girl next to her had fair skin and a ray of pink on her face. Extremely gentle.
Which family has such outstanding temperament?
A doubt appeared in everyone's mind.
It can be said that there are countless beautiful women in the capital, but there are only a few women with good color and unique temperament, not to mention that the two of them seem to have a freedom and freedom that has never been seen in women in the boudoir.
Before the female relatives could inquire about their origins, Wang Shu had already handed the invitation in his hand to the maid in charge of reception at the door.
"My wife and young lady have been invited to congratulate me, and please take a look."
"It turns out they are from Lord Shen's house."
The maid of the Song Dynasty will open it again soon. The invitation was closed, "It seems that these are Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen? Come in, please."
Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen?
"I know, it's the Shen family who is the new champion!"
A female family member exclaimed, her mouth opened wide in shock, and she looked at the two people with eyes filled with wonder.
“Oh my God, didn’t I say that Mr. Shen was born in a poor family, and the daughter in the family is very unworthy?”
This does not look like she is unworthy, the rumors mislead me!
“Quiet, you are not young anymore, why do you say anything?”
The little girl was scolded by her mother in time, her little face turned red, she lowered her head in embarrassment and did not dare to speak, but she still couldn't help being curious, and from time to time she raised her head and cast curious eyes over there.
Cheng Xi and the other three had sharp ears and eyes, and their ability to perceive the surrounding environment was different from ordinary people. They had already noticed the surprise of several people, and followed the two maids into the Song Mansion without changing their expressions.
Shen Xingqi frowned slightly and glanced at her sister-in-law. The original irritability suddenly disappeared.
She should have guessed a long time ago that since her sister-in-law got married more than a year ago, her temperament and way of doing things have changed, and her mood is no longer the same. She is no longer the same Shen Xingqi.
But this change makes you better, doesn't it?
"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, please wait here for a moment while I go to fetch my wife."
"Thank you, girl."
The two maids who led the way quickly took them After being led to the reception area, the position was neither forward nor behind. Cheng Xi thought that her husband was just a junior sixth-rank official in the Hanlin Academy, so this position was quite suitable.
