Chapter 585 Mooncake Tasting

The temperature at the oven door was so high that it seemed like it could roast a person.

Zheng Sisi took a deep breath, held it, and then quickly reached out to face the surging heat from the oven.

She used the gloves she had prepared in advance to pad the baking pan onto the table as quickly as possible.

Because she moved so quickly, she didn't even have time to see the specific situation in the baking pan.

However, just as she placed the baking pan on the counter, she heard a cry of exclamation.

"Wow, this is so beautiful! So golden and mouth-watering!"

"What a nice smell! The aroma of cake and oil mixed together is so tempting!"

Everyone couldn't help but twitch their nostrils, greedily smelling this unique and charming aroma.

At this time, Zheng Sisi finally had the chance to look at the baking pan.

I saw that the mooncake inside had turned golden in color, shining brightly, and looked as exquisite and attractive as a work of art.

When Zheng Sisi looked at the finished products, she couldn't help feeling joy in her heart and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Seeing that this mooncake is baked so well, at least the appearance has reached the expected standard. Next, we have to see how it tastes after tasting it.

Zheng Sisi smiled and asked, "How is it? Is this fortune telling okay?"

The workers around were full of praise: "Princess, you are so modest! This is not just 'okay'! It is absolutely exquisite! It is no less beautiful than the moon hanging in the sky!"

Their eyes were filled with amazement and they praised Zheng Sisi's craftsmanship highly.

Everyone expressed their agreement, and in fact Zheng Sisi was also very satisfied.

She smiled and explained: "The mooncakes still need time to cool down and the oil will return. After they are completely cooled, the oil on the surface will gradually penetrate into the inside, and the mooncakes will taste better at that time."

Then, Zheng Sisi introduced to everyone in detail the production steps of various mooncakes. With the successful example of the first batch of mooncakes, everyone was full of confidence after listening.

When the workers witnessed the final product, they couldn't contain their excitement and couldn't wait to put it into practice immediately.

Seeing how proactive everyone was, Zheng Sisi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Then let's start with the winter melon-filled mooncakes and use up all the remaining winter melon. That way we can try making lotus paste and red bean paste flavors this afternoon."

The workers nodded in approval.

Although they had no idea what lotus paste and red bean paste looked like, they firmly believed that the princess would personally teach them how to make them in the afternoon.

Zheng Sisi was busy in the workshop all day. When she returned home, she was carrying a large food box filled with three different flavors of mooncakes made that day.

After returning to the mansion, Zheng Sisi gathered together several maids, nannies and housekeeper Chen, brought out today's results for everyone to taste, and asked for their opinions.

Of course Sheng Zhen was also involved in this kind of thing. He and his four close guards also participated in the mooncake tasting.

When everyone saw the mooncakes on the plate, they were all amazed without exception.

"Wow, so beautiful! Every mooncake is the same size. It's amazing!"

Rose and Lily couldn't help but shout, and the others nodded in agreement.

After all, in this era, people mostly shape snacks by hand.

This was an amazing achievement as we hadn’t yet realised that standardised production could be achieved with the help of moulds.

Since these mooncakes are of a certain weight, Zheng Sisi carefully took out a small bamboo knife and cut one mooncake into four equal pieces.

He smiled and said, "Let's try it first to see how it tastes and whether it suits everyone's taste."

Everyone couldn't wait any longer and immediately picked up the mooncakes to taste them, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and they didn't even have time to speak.

Madam Li finished a piece first and gave a thumbs up, praising it: "It's really delicious, completely different from the mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes we usually eat."

Nanny Gui was in charge of kitchen affairs. Although she was not good at making snacks, she had tasted many delicious dishes in the palace and was full of praise for the taste of the moon cakes.

She said: "It has a rich aroma, the crust is crispy and fluffy, and the filling inside is soft and delicious, suitable for all ages."

After everyone tasted it, they all thought it was delicious. With everyone's affirmation, Zheng Sisi felt relieved.

She arranged: "Butler Chen, send a message to several shareholders tomorrow and ask them to finalize the packaging and sales of the mooncakes."

Butler Chen replied with a smile: "Okay, Princess, I will arrange to invite someone tomorrow morning."
