Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to help Yuan Dai excuse himself, he heard her say: [Yes!]
Before Xiao Ling could react, she heard Yuan Dai say: "It's like this. I have recently developed a new drink and plan to make it for everyone to taste."
Drinks?
The envoy sneered with some disdain, "The Queen does not need to be so perfunctory."
Yuan Dai smiled slightly, "Whether it's perfunctory or not, you'll know after you taste it."
Yuan Dai looked at Qiushi aside and said, "Qiushi, help me prepare some materials. I want some purple sweet potato, tapioca flour, starch, milk, sugar, and tea leaves."
That's right——
What she planned to make was milk tea, and it was also taro paste bobo milk tea.
Yuan Dai was a food lover before she started studying. After a series of studies, she became a drink blogger. However, as the food area becomes more and more involution, everyone is no longer satisfied with just making a drink and serving it.
In front of the audience, but - start from scratch.
Making it from scratch means that except for some basic ingredients, everything else needs to be made and prepared by yourself.
As expected, no skill is learned in vain, and it will always come in handy.
At first she complained that the audience's demands were too high, but now she wants to thank them for allowing her to have a skill even in ancient times.
Making taro ball pop pop milk tea is just a piece of cake for Yuan Dai.
Seeing that Yuan Dai was about to build a stove and make things on the spot, the ministers could not sit still. The concubines in the harem had always kept their hands off the good news. Although the queen just argued brilliantly, her practical actions and words
There is still a difference in kung fu. It would be bad if you mess up and lose face.
Zhao Li smiled. She knew that Yuan Dai was just pretending to be mysterious. What was the use of just talking? She didn't believe what tricks she could come up with.
"Sister Queen, let's forget it. Even if you want to express yourself, you can't fool around in such an occasion. I apologize to everyone on behalf of Sister Queen. She can't cook, so don't make things difficult for her.
"
"It's just that next time, Sister Queen, it's better to pay attention to the occasion. You and the Emperor are deeply in love, and everyone can see it."
Yuan Dai almost laughed out of anger at her words.
Zhao Li will know if she can cook?
Moreover, these words seemed to excuse her and apologize for her. In fact, they almost said clearly that she deliberately expressed herself on such a grand occasion in order to gain favor in front of the emperor.
After Zhao Li finished speaking, the ministers who were a little distrustful of Yuan Dai began to feel a little unable to sit still.
"Mother, why don't you forget it?"
"Isn't it an old minister who said that this kind of scene is nothing but a child's play and should not be played around with? The queen is the mother of a country and should know that this is not a place for you women to compete for favor!"
In the eyes of this group of old men, although what Yuan Dai just said was beautiful, it was just for the occasion. What can a woman in the backyard do? Let alone someone like Yuan Dai who has no fingers in the water. Listen to what she just said.
Excuse me, any drink made with purple sweet potato milk and tea is simply ridiculous!
Yuan Dai looked at the old man who had just criticized her. He was sitting two seats below her father. He seemed to be a civil servant. From the aggressive tone he used to attack her just now and the unkind look his father gave him, she could probably guess that.
, this old man and her father are in the opposite camp.
She sneered, "I have good intentions to promote food culture in front of the envoys, but why do you and Concubine Zhao turn me into jealousy? If you cause this in public, I'm afraid it's you who will lose face to the court!"
"
The old man was so angry that she blew his beard and stared.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded.
"It's okay, I trust the Queen."
Everyone followed the sound and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. He waved his hand and told Yuan Dai to do whatever he wanted, as if he supported Yuan Dai unconditionally.
The faces of the old man and Zhao Li below were alternately blue and white. The old man knelt down on the spot and shouted, "The emperor must not be confused, the country, the country and the country are the most important thing!"
Yuan Dai sneered, "What if everyone thinks what I make is good?"
"How can it be?"
"Why is it impossible? If I fail, I will invite myself into the cold palace. If I succeed, how about you kneel down and apologize to me in public?"
[In this way, I will make money regardless of failure or success, hahahahaha.]
Xiao Ling:......
Xiao Ling looked at her excited profile and sneered, her abacus was a good one.
"Kneel down and apologize in public?! I'm already old, but you actually make such a request!"
"Don't rely on your old age and act like your old age. It's just a matter of words whether you want to gamble or not? What? Weren't you very confident just now? Are you afraid now?"
Yuan Dai prodded him a few words, and the old man agreed.
Just at this time, Qiushi also prepared the materials and brought them over.
Yuan Dai rolled up her sleeves, revealing two fair and slender lotus-rooted arms. She washed her hands in clean water, peeled and mashed the steamed purple sweet potatoes, then added cassava flour and started kneading them into a dough.
Then, like playing with plasticine, roll the dough into a long strip, sprinkle some starch to prevent it from sticking to your hands, shape it into small round taro paste, put it in the pot and cook it until it floats, and then run it through cold water to make the taro paste more delicious.
bomb.
The people in the audience stared blankly at Yuan Dai's operations and began to doubt Zhao Li's previous words.
The queen looks so skilled, but she doesn't look like she has never cooked before?
After making the taro puree, it’s time to make milk tea. How well the milk tea is cooked is also the key to whether the drink tastes good.
Yuan Dai first boils the tea leaves in water, simmers it for a while, then adds milk and sugar and boils it until it bubbles around, then filters out the tea leaves.
Although I haven't tasted the drink yet, I can smell the strong fragrance of milk just as Yuan Dai is making it. The envoys on the side have been staring at Yuan Dai's pot, obviously feeling a little excited.
Yuan Dai put the taro balls into the milk tea, asked the superiors and subordinates to help pack them, and then sent them to the seats of the ministers and empresses. She herself walked towards Xiao Ling holding a bowl.
"Your Majesty, please try it."
[For the sake of the dog emperor speaking for me just now, I will take the initiative to send it to him.]
Xiao Ling took the drink from Yuan Dai's hand and took a sip with a spoon. He was a little surprised. It was indeed unusual. Compared with ordinary milk, it had a more mellow aroma and a touch of tea flavor. He took another sip of the purple particles inside, q
It's chewy and chewy, and the fragrance still lingers on your lips and teeth after eating.
Is this a specialty of their hometown?
It's quite novel.
Xiao Ling is not the only one who has this idea.
At first, everyone looked at the strange color and some tea residue floating on it, and they were afraid to drink it.
General Yuan Da was the first to pick it up and take a sip. Then with a surprised and happy expression on his face, he drank a large bowl in one go.
Only then did someone try to take a sip. Who knew that after taking this sip, they were completely shocked.
It also--
It tastes so good!
It's not a complicated recipe, but it can actually make something so delicious!
After tasting a few more mouthfuls, before I knew it, my bowl was empty. I touched my mouth, but I still had some unfinished thoughts.
