Empress, she is the darling of the Emperor's hand

Chapter 78 New Years 2
Shi Yunxin, however, didn't feel there was anything deserted at all.

The first day of the new year was originally a very happy day, but in the palace, many folk customs were not fulfilled. She was so restless last night that she didn't even keep the New Year's Eve and fell asleep.

There was nothing to do today and the atmosphere was joyful. Shi Yunxin simply followed the initiative that failed last time and summoned everyone in Yunwai Pavilion to make dumplings by herself.

Today, all the palaces are rejoicing and are busy paying New Year greetings. No one will notice them at all. The emperor has also gone to worship heaven. They are as free as being released from prison.

When Shi Yunxin said this, everyone was very happy. For the first time, they didn't think she was doing something strange. Xiao Atom immediately went to the imperial kitchen to find Xiao Dengzi for ingredients for making dumplings.

Shi Yunxin specifically told Xiao Atom not to use the stuffing prepared by the imperial kitchen. Instead, he asked Xiao Atom to ask Xiao Dengzi to give them the most basic ingredients such as pork, flour, etc., and when they came back, they would close the door and prepare the fillings by themselves. This was called making dumplings by themselves. .

Shi Yunxin plans to make dumplings with three fillings: shepherd's purse and pork, shrimp and three delicacies, and cabbage and mutton.

Everyone knows that shepherd's purse and pork are famous for being extremely fresh and delicious. Normally, shepherd's purse has not grown wild in this winter, but the palace is the best place in the world, and what is needed is shepherd's purse, a folk wild vegetable. , because dumplings taste delicious in winter, the palace specially used a greenhouse to cultivate them, so there are also juicy green onions and shepherd's purse in the snowy imperial kitchen.

Needless to say, shrimps are three kinds of delicacies. Shi Yunxin likes shrimps very much. As long as the fillings are well-seasoned, eating one shrimp in one bite will be so fresh that it will make people sigh with satisfaction.

Finally, cabbage and mutton are the most suitable fillings. Eating mutton in winter can replenish and warm up the body, while cabbage can relieve tiredness and refresh the body. No kidding, Shi Yunxin thought about what kind of fillings to make in the dumplings, and she felt like she was about to become a farmer.

Just thinking about it makes me want to do something!

Shi Yunxin's own dumpling fillings certainly had a unique flavor. Taoyao Xiaotong and the others were forced to only serve her on the first and second days, and she was in charge.

Knead the dough and roll out the dumpling wrappers, chop the meat and mix the fillings, and start making the dumplings.

A series of procedures went on in an orderly manner, and Xiao Atom and others were completely convinced by Shi Yunxin. It turned out that the master was not just trying to be arrogant, but actually had skills.

As for Taoyao, she only came to Shi Yunxin before entering the palace. She didn't know what "Shi Yunxin" was like before. She only thought that she was a virtuous housekeeper and had learned the craft at the Shi family.

I was cooking soup base and dumplings on the small stove in Yunwai Pavilion. The moment I opened the lid of the pot, a strong and fresh fragrance hit my nostrils, making Xiao Atom and others who were guarding the stove immediately salivate.

The strong aroma of dumplings with various fillings is intertwined and spreads along the wind, permeating the outside of Yunwai Pavilion.

In Yunwai Pavilion, Shi Yunxin took Tao Yao and Xiao Atom and they made an exception and had a delicious meal of dumplings together, regardless of master or servant.

Xiao Atom and the others were simply unbelievable. How could the master have such good stuffing skills? The fillings of the dumplings were so well blended that each filling was amazing!

When they were in the palace, the dumplings delivered from the imperial dining room that they ate every year did not taste like this!
Yunwai Pavilion spent the day happily in the atmosphere of New Year's Day.

……

That night in the palace, Long Ao Palace ordered dumplings of all flavors in the imperial dining room for some reason.

The imperial kitchen hurriedly and nervously prepared everything perfectly, and presented dumplings of various flavors to the Long Ao Hall.
