Chapter 259 Chestnut Cake
Wei Ge came to see Zhou Jisheng with some snacks.

Zhou Jisheng was alone with a lonely expression on his face.

Vigo said.

"Master, there is a girl outside who wants to see you."

Zhou Jisheng asked.

"Who wants to see me?"

Vigo replied.

"She seems to be Miss Long's friend."

Zhou Jisheng snorted coldly.

"I must be here to be a lobbyist for Chen Taotao again. If you let her go, I don't want to see her."

Vigo said.

"I told her, she asked me to bring you Suhang dim sum."

With a curious look on Zhou Jisheng's face, he took the snack and opened it for a look.

Wei Ge said with an admiring look on his face.

"This mung bean cake is very delicately made and looks very appetizing."

Zhou Jisheng shook his head.

"This isn't mung bean cake, it's ai dumpling, a special snack in Suzhou and Hangzhou. You'd better let her go."

It turns out that this moxa dumpling is a kind of folk snack made by mixing the juice of mugwort leaves boiled in alkaline water with glutinous rice flour as the skin, and white sugar and cooked sesame as the filling. It is widely spread in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Ruan Mei took another bag of pastries and waited outside for Wei Ge.

Ruan Mei saw Wei Ge walking out empty-handed, and hurriedly went up to meet him.

"Brother Wei, how are you doing?"

Vigo said.

"I told you not to send it in. The master just put it aside and didn't eat it at all."

Ruan Mei said.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't have an appetite now. I have made many kinds of dim sum. You can show him each one for me to taste. Maybe he has a favorite dim sum."

Vigo said.

"I advise you not to bother so much, he won't want to eat."

Ruan Mei said.

"I heard that Uncle Ji is in a bad mood recently. Trying dim sum may make him feel better. Anyway, please."

Wei Ge was silent.

"I know I'm a bit annoying, but I've been doing it for a long time and put a lot of thought into making these foods. Please help me."

Ruan Mei said.

"If he really doesn't want to eat it, he can throw it away. Please pass it on to him for me."

Wei Ge shook his head.

"If he doesn't want to eat it and throw it away, it's none of my business."

Ruan Mei said.

"OK, thanks."

Seeing Wei Ge coming in, Zhou Jisheng said angrily.

"Why are you here again, don't bother me."

Vigo said.

"I told her many times that I don't want it anymore, and she sent two more boxes of pastries, and said to let me put them in front of you, maybe you will eat some when you are hungry."

Zhou Jisheng said with an impatient look on his face.

"You said she was gone."

Vigo said.

"Ok."

Immediately, he walked out of the room.

Zhou Jisheng waited for Wei Ge to leave, and stared at the pastries on the table.

After a while, he took a moxa dumpling and tasted it slowly with a smile on his face.

Zhou Jisheng shouted.

"Ayin, make me some cakes."

Ah Yin responded.

"Okay."

Not long after, she brought out a plate of cakes.

Zhou Jisheng picked up a piece with a fork.

He took only one mouthful and spat it out.

Then he knocked the cake over.

"Oh, what the hell did you make, it's really unpalatable."

Ah Yin hurriedly cleaned up on the ground.

"Okay, I'll check it out."

Zhou Jisheng said angrily.

"Take it out for me quickly."

Zhou Jisheng picked up a piece of black rice cake and tasted it carefully.

Immediately, he shouted.

"Ayin, call Awei back to me, I have something to tell him."

Wei Ge said with a curious look on his face.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Go ask that girl how to make black rice cakes?"

Vigo said.

"Ok."

Wei Ge walked out happily and met Ruan Mei who was waiting outside.

Vigo said.

"Fortunately for you, the master has reflected."

Ruan Mei said.

"I'm from Lin'an, and my mother taught me to make black rice cakes when I was young."

Wei Ge relayed her words to Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng muttered to himself.

"She is from Lin'an."

After a pause, Zhou Jisheng asked.

"Awei, do you know what is the best snack in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

After a moment of thought, Wei Ge shook his head and said.

"I do not know."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Let me tell you, it's chestnut cake!"

Wei Ge said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I haven't heard of it."

Zhou Jisheng asked with yearning look on his face.

"Do you know how to make chestnut cake?"

Wei Ge shook his head.

"I do not know."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Dissolve the sugar, add some glutinous rice flour and stalk rice flour, then stir it into a paste, then steam it in a steamer for a few minutes."

Wei Ge asked with a curious look on his face.

"Is this all right?"

Zhou Jisheng shook his head.

"It's not that simple anymore. Next, open the steamer box, add some glutinous rice flour and Yiwu brown sugar kneaded pine flour, and then spread fresh millet seeds, and steam it until it's done."

Vigo said.

"The process is so complicated, it must be delicious."

"That's right, the cake is sauce yellow, very chewy, it tastes both chestnut flavor and brown sugar sweetness."

Zhou Jisheng laughed after recalling for a moment.

"Sister Hua knows that this is my favorite food, so every time she makes dim sum, she will definitely make this."

Vigo said.

"Master, is the chestnut cake you are talking about the kind I hold in my hand?"

Zhou Jisheng looked at the Chestnut Fragrant Cake with a brilliant look in his eyes.

"That's right."

Vigo said.

"At first I didn't want to bring it in, but she begged me bitterly. She told me that this kind of dim sum is the best in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Zhou Jisheng said after a moment's pause.

"Let her in."

Vigo said.

"Okay."

As soon as the voice fell, he walked out of the room.

Ruan Mei walked into the room.

Zhou Jisheng asked.

"Is your name Ruan Mei?"

Ruan Mei nodded.

"Yes."

Zhou Jisheng asked.

"How do you make your black rice cake?"

Ruan Mei replied.

"After the glutinous rice is steamed, add brown sugar, white sugar, hawthorn shreds, cut into pieces, brush with sesame oil, sprinkle with a series of ingredients such as sesame seeds and melon seeds, and it's ready."

Zhou Jisheng said with a look of appreciation on his face.

"I can't see that you are young and know a lot."

Ruan Mei said.

"Thank you Uncle Ji for the compliment."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Do you know that everything you do is useless, and I won't help you friends anymore."

Ruan Mei said.

"I know."

Zhou Jisheng stopped talking and just ate the cake made by Ruan Mei.

He ate a little anxiously, choking and coughing.

Ruan Mei saw teapots and cups on the table.

Tables and couches are cramped.

She was afraid of soiling the sofa, so she poured tea while half kneeling.

Immediately, she handed the tea to Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng took the tea and drank it down.

He said.

"Even if I drink your cup of tea, I won't help your friend."

"Uncle Ji, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that."

Ruan Mei said.

"You don't think the tea I made is bad, I already feel very happy."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Don't blame me for being unfeeling, the most important thing to be a human being is to keep yourself first."

Ruan Mei said.

"Uncle Ji, I don't blame you."

"Ah Hua persuaded me not to be tainted with other people's grievances. I didn't listen to her. Not only was I assassinated, but she also died."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Ah Hua is already a lesson from the past. If I help my friend again, I'm afraid I will lose my fortune and my life."
