Otherwise, if you do it once or twice, you will have bad habits.
As for Kangxi, the two concubines, Zhang Concubine...
Shu Shu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to be a favor at this time.
The Queen Mother was feeling uncomfortable, and both Kangxi and Concubine Yi were nervous. She seemed to be interested. What impression would that be?
Zhouquan is not Zhouquan at this time.
Except for pie, the other two foods are very quick to prepare.
It took about three-quarters of an hour and it was all done.
Shu Shu sent walnuts and sent five bowls of steamed fruits back, and packed the rest into two food boxes. She and her grandma each carried one and returned to the Queen Mother.
"The young couple is doing well...if everything goes well, my wife will be able to have her great-grandchild by this time next year..."
In the Queen Mother's tent, Concubine Yi was talking happily.
She knew that the fifth elder brother was the one whom the Queen Mother cared most about, and she had to use the fifth elder brother and his wife as excuses to get the Queen Mother to talk.
The Queen Mother also had a look of expectation on her face: "That's good, the Immortal God will bless them... If they are conceived in the grassland, I will give my little brother a nickname from the grassland in the future..."
"It's all up to you..."
Concubine Yi responded.
Seeing Shu Shu come back with the food box, the Queen Mother nodded and said: "It'll be ready so soon. What a capable child. Go and bring it back to them..."
Shu Shu smiled and stepped forward: "I have sent the girl back. This is for the imperial grandmother and E Niang..."
Just as the Queen Mother was about to wave her hand, Concubine Yi became interested and stood up and said, "Let me see, what is it?"
Grandma had already brought a small table and placed it on the couch.
When she opened the food box and saw the inside, Yifei was stunned.
Is this a cake?
This color?!
Yi Fei looked at Shu Shu, knowing that she was a reliable child, and said, "What is this? A new idea of eating?"
The queen mother was curious, so she also stretched her head and looked over, but she was also stunned.
Shu Shu looked a little shy and said: "My daughter-in-law didn't think of it. It's a kind of pie I've seen in books before. It was said to be made in the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years... The name is also straightforward, it's called
'Mongolian pie', this is not on the grassland, my daughter-in-law asked someone to try it, and asked some brothers to try it..."
Concubine Yi laughed and said: "It's really nonsense. There are Mongolian pies in the palace, but this is not the way to do it..."
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to take out the plate and stared at it blankly, tears rolling down her face.
"Empress..."
Concubine Yi was startled.
"What happened to Huang Enie?"
Kangxi came and walked to the door. When he heard Concubine Yi's voice, he came in without even bothering to call someone.
The Queen Mother couldn't hold back her tears, so she reached out for a piece of pie and took a bite, causing her tears to flow even more violently.
Kangxi and Concubine Yi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial physician once said that the Queen Mother's depression should not avoid sadness and joy, and it would be a good thing if it happened.
"This is the taste, this is Mongolian pie..."
The Queen Mother smiled with tears in her eyes and said to Kangxi and Concubine Yi: "You two should try it too. This is my favorite when I was a child. My Erhelao pie is the most delicious, and it tastes like this..."
Concubine Yi took the handkerchief and sat next to the Queen Mother. While wiping the Queen Mother's tears, she said: "Tsk, tsk, your Majesty, you have to give me a big red envelope, or I, I have to tell others, my Majesty will eat well."
I'm so hungry for food..."
The Queen Mother laughed "haha": "Just say it, there is no red envelope, just let their jokes go..."
Kangxi had already sat down on the other side of the table, looking at the buckwheat pie on the plate.
Without the eunuch around, Mammy is no longer smart.
Shu Shu had no choice but to step forward and place the dishes.
Fortunately, I thought that Concubine Yi might ask me to accompany her to eat, so I prepared three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
A plate of Mongolian pie, palm-sized.
A big bowl of pickle soup and a small bowl of steamed fruit per person.
Very simple.
The Queen Mother was in high spirits. She took a piece of pie each and called to Kangxi and Concubine Yi: "Try it quickly, try it quickly and see if it tastes good..."
Looking at her, she is very happy to share the delicacies of her hometown with others.
Kangxi said: "The Emperor also eats Nirvana..."
After the Queen Mother moved her chopsticks, Kangxi and Concubine Yi moved their chopsticks in turn.
Buckwheat flour without added white flour has a slightly rough texture and lacks a bit of strength, but the wheat flavor is also particularly rich.
There is no additional oil in the filling. The optional mutton filling is three fat and seven thin, and it has its own oily juice.
Blended with pickles, even though it is a meat patty, the texture is not greasy at all, but rather refreshing.
Yifei Yuan was still a little reluctant. Although she didn't eat much for dinner, she had already eaten it, and she was afraid that she would be tired of it and not be able to eat it.
I am eating happily now.
Kangxi looked at the soup, which was not much better than clear soup. He filled a bowl himself and handed it to the Queen Mother with both hands: "Try this soup again and see how it goes."
The Queen Mother took it and looked at it curiously.
Kangxi and Concubine Yi both looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu's face turned slightly red, a little embarrassed.
Is this innovation too much?!
The Queen Mother took a few sips, with an aftertaste on her face, and then nodded with satisfaction, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Good boy? This is also from the book? What kind of book can I remember so completely..."
With Kangxi here and so many books in the palace, how could Shu Shu dare to lie?
She told the truth: "This soup was thought up by granddaughter-in-law herself... Granddaughter-in-law thought that since there is no farming in the pastoral area, there should not be many vegetables... Even if you go to the market to buy vegetables, you should think of ways to preserve them for a long time... stir-fry pickles or
When making soup, even the salt is omitted... It’s just that the pickle soup won’t taste good without oil and water, but the beef jerky will taste like beef if it’s put in it..."
The Queen Mother smiled, tears coming out again: "I was picky back then because I thought the pickle soup was not delicious, so I put beef jerky in it..."
The queen mother drank up a bowl of soup.
I also ate two pies as big as my palm.
When she went to pick it up again, Concubine Yi moved the plate first: "My dear, it's getting dark outside. I ate too much..."
The Queen Mother reluctantly put down her chopsticks and said: "Keep it for tomorrow morning..." At this point, she said "Oops" and said: "I forgot about them, they also like to eat this pie..."
"
Concubine Yi looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu said: "The pies are made by Chef Bai An in the dining room, and the soup is prepared by Chef Hong An... Wife-in-law Sun is a 'paper talker', so she just moved her mouth..."
Yi Fei nodded and saw the sand fruit in the small bowl next to her.
"Is this sugar water sago? It's good to use this to digest food..."
Concubine Yi said and offered a bowl to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took it, drank half of the fruit water with a spoon, and immediately frowned sourly.
Concubine Yi was standing by and asked, "There is too little sugar. Do you want to add more..."
The Queen Mother's brows widened: "No, no, no, this is just right..."
The sand fruit is not big, slightly larger than the crabapple fruit.
There are only four sand fruits in a bowl.
The fruit is actually more watery.
The Queen Mother ate one bite after another.
Kangxi and Concubine Yi also picked up their own bowls.
Shu Shu stood by, thinking about the sourness of the fruit water, and her mouth watered.
But today she also gained some experience.
This kind of in-laws and grandmothers stand alone while eating...
Fortunately, this time.
The Queen Mother cried a lot and was full, so she felt a little lack of energy.
Kangxi and Concubine Yi stood up to leave.
The Queen Mother looked at Shu Shu behind Concubine Yi and called her forward: "Good boy, grandma has made you tired... When you get to Horqin, grandma will take you to pick flowers..."
Shu Shu was very well-behaved: "My granddaughter-in-law hasn't done anything... Then we'll just wait for the imperial grandmother to lead us to be naughty..."
Shu Shu was not surprised that there was no reward.
She is not a cook. If she eats a dish well, she will be rewarded with silver immediately.
When he got out of the Queen Mother's tent and walked out about a few feet away, Kangxi stopped, turned around and looked at Shu Shu and said: "Well done, I put my heart and soul into being filial... Starting from tomorrow, I will stay with your mother-in-law and spend more time with her."
Accompany the Queen Mother..."
This is oral instruction.
Shu Shu also took it seriously and bowed in agreement.
Kangxi said to Concubine Yi: "You should rest early, I have been busy for a long time today..."
"Well! Your Majesty, please leave first, and I will be back soon!"
Concubine Yi agreed and watched Kangxi go away, then took Shu Shu's hand and walked to her sleeping tent.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a big festival after all. Even if we are on the road, we have to have a banquet. I was supposed to order the menu today, but I don't have time to do it... Come over tomorrow morning and accompany my mother in the car..."
Concubine Yi said.
She has already said a lot of compliments.
I’m not boasting now, but my satisfaction in my heart has increased by ten points.
Today's meal looks simple, but it is not something that Linglong can cook.
Only by comparing your heart to your heart can you be considerate.
No wonder the young couple gets along better and better. With such a wife, no matter who she is with, she will never go wrong.
Brother Ninth, you are blessed.
"Okay, what kind of car can I take with you?"
Brother Jiu was waiting outside Concubine Yifei's sleeping tent. He heard the movement and came out to greet Concubine Yifei. He happened to hear Concubine Yifei talking and couldn't help but interrupt.
Yifei glanced at him angrily: "Why, she's your daughter-in-law, but she's not my daughter-in-law? You can't even ride with me in the car?"
Brother Jiu's face was full of displeasure: "My son still has a lot of troubles to deal with. He can't stay away from people, and there are two younger ones to look after... If my mother wants to order someone, she can go to the fifth sister-in-law..."
"What's the business? Is it business to catch fish today, or is it business to catch rabbits tomorrow?"
Yi Fei glared at him: "How old I am, I don't know how old I am. I still think that I am a little brother. I am always naughty..."
She was well-informed and naturally knew that Kangxi had gone to discipline the ninth elder brother, and she also knew that the fifth elder brother had been brought to his knees.
It's just that she couldn't say this directly, otherwise it would seem like she was dissatisfied with the emperor's discipline of his son.
Even with the fifth elder brother, whether he was being implicated by his younger brother or taking the initiative to protect his younger brother, Concubine Yi never interfered.
Let the brothers figure out their brotherhood.
She is mixed up in it. It cannot be taken lightly or seriously, but it will easily affect the brotherhood.
Brother Jiu was very determined, pulling Shu Shu and running away: "Anyway, my son is here with someone..."
Yi Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she wasn't annoyed either. She shook her head and went back to her tent.
Shu Shu knew that Brother Jiu was worried that Concubine Yi would scold him for setting rules and so on, so he explained in a low voice: "It's a serious matter. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the menu hasn't been drawn up yet, so I thought of asking me to come over tomorrow to help..."
