Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 366
(Sorry my friends, the plan can't keep up with the changes. The child had difficulty breathing at [-] o'clock this morning. I went to the hospital to get an injection to relieve it. I ordered surgery after New Year's Day. I didn't eat all day, and I came back to write a chapter. I was too tired. I had to make a single update today, I'm really sorry, I will find a chance to make it up in the future, thank you for your support!)
Simba likes to eat meat, but the meals are shared with the queen mother, so the dishes must also take into account the taste of the queen mother, so Xiaoan chose two meat dishes, fish-flavored shredded pork and wood shredded meat, and a seasonal lotus root ribs Soup, two vegetarian dishes with ground three delicacies mixed with dried green celery, and the final staple is pork and mushroom siu mai.

After setting the recipe, Xiao An went to the shelf at the door of the kitchen to choose the ingredients, and then quickly began to wash and change the knife.

After cooking the noodles in the pottery pot, put them aside to wake up. First, cook the soup in a stove, then chop the meat and stuffed mushrooms. After the stuffing is chopped, start to stir-fry vegetables. The siu mai was packaged neatly and steamed in a steaming tray
When the pork ribs and lotus root soup were poured into big-bellied thin porcelain bowls, the siu mai was also out of the drawer, and it happened that the little eunuch came in to pass on the meal.

All the royal cooks originally wanted to watch the jokes with disdain, but in less than half an hour, when the first stir-fried dish, fish-flavored shredded pork, came out of the pot, they watched from afar, smelled it, and thought I was a little bit guilty, after all, they are all old imperial chefs who have been immersed in the kitchen for many years. Their noses and eyes have been trained to be extremely sensitive. The sweet and sour aroma in the air is definitely just right. The red, green and yellow The color is also very attractive. For a good dish, the most important thing is to achieve three points, the color and fragrance. Now that the color and fragrance are available, the taste must be very good.

Sure enough, as they expected, as the dishes were put on plates, the soups were placed in bowls, and the siu mai shaped like lily buds were placed on white porcelain lotus plates, their expressions had long since lost the slightest bit of arrogance, and they began to become respectful and admirable. This is the case for most people, and there is definitely a direct relationship between the level of status and the level of craftsmanship.

No one spoke cynicism anymore, the small kitchen was silent, everyone watched Xiao An take off her sleeve apron and wash her hands again, but no one dared to speak up.

Xiaoan looked around, asked Xiaoquanzi and Biyun Bihe who had just arrived to help bring the dishes to the dining hall, then pointed to a few small plates on the chopping board, smiled slightly, saluted and said, " Greetings to all the masters, servant Xiaoan, I have learned a few small dishes from our wife on weekdays, which is not a novelty, but it is better because of the variety of seasonings. We criticize one or two, and don't hesitate to teach us."

All the royal cooks looked embarrassed and praised repeatedly, but dared not.One of the oldest imperial chefs came out, bowed his hands to return the salute, and said with a smile, "Master Xiao'an is polite, my surname is Cheng, today we are the first to be rude, so please don't blame Master Xiao'an. You don't have to try this dish, just eat it." From the fresh scent just now, we can know that the taste must be extremely delicious, and we will ask Master Xiao An for more advice in the future, but Master Xiao An will ask for more advice."

"What did Master Cheng say? Xiao An is new here, and the masters will need to take care of her in the future. If the masters feel that Xiao An's skills can be mastered, just ask, Xiao An will know everything and say everything."

But all craftsmen have some unique skills of their own. All the royal chefs have two special dishes. No matter the seasoning or the method, they are secrets that are not passed on. own job.

But now Xiao An actually said that he doesn't mind teaching the recipes.

Xiao An bid farewell to the crowd and went to the main hall, leaving behind a group of imperial chefs scrambling to taste the small dishes.

Simba finally saw the familiar dishes and ate the familiar taste, and gave the Queen Mother one after another like a treasure. The Queen Mother praised him for his filial piety, and rewarded Xiao An with a set of four kinds of inner-made silver hairpins. Xiao An is neither humble nor overbearing, respectful Thanking her politely, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but nodded, thinking in her heart, she is indeed worthy of being Madam Xian's personal maid, not to mention her appearance, but her calm demeanor is not comparable to ordinary servants.

After the meal, Xiaoan helped remove the dishes to the small kitchen. Just as he was about to reach out to wash them, he was stopped by a group of royal chefs. Master Cheng explained first, "Master Xiaoan, the kitchen has its own helper to wash the dishes and clean up the ingredients. You don't have to Don’t worry, just arrange for them to do it.”

Xiao An didn't expose their previous behavior of crowding out, and thanked them with a gentle smile.

Master Cheng invited her to the side hall for tea, and then the topic turned around to the small wooden box, "Master Xiao'an, just now I saw you fetching the seasonings in that small wooden box, what's so strange about those seasonings? "

"Master Cheng has good eyesight," Xiao An gently praised him. After all, this person is a veteran in the small kitchen, and there is no harm in making friends with him. Sure enough, the smile on the corners of Master Cheng's eyes and brows became more gentle .

"The seasonings in the wooden box are all picked by our wife on the sacred mountain. There is no place to sell Baihua now. Some dishes are added to it, which is very refreshing."

Master Cheng and his colleagues looked at each other, and they were a little discouraged. The seasoning was picked from the sacred mountain, so it was extremely precious. Even if they learned the recipe, they couldn't make it without the seasoning.

Xiaoan was thinking about serving Simba to wash up, and didn't want to go around with them, "Masters, don't worry about this seasoning. Our wife has already tried to plant a few acres in the farm, and it will be harvested in a month or two. As long as the masters If we memorize the recipes, we will naturally be able to make delicious dishes.”

Everyone was overjoyed, so they were satisfied and let Xiao An go, and then they got together to discuss that tomorrow morning they would start taking turns to help cook next to Xiao An, and learn new dishes at a close distance.

In the early morning of the second day, the First Prince and the Second Prince came to accompany the Empress Dowager for breakfast as usual. They ended up eating soup dumplings, drinking vegetable porridge, and a table of side dishes, such as sweet and sour cucumbers, spicy cabbage, Sweet and crispy radish sticks, celery and peanuts, and cold lotus root, all of them are full of praise.

In the past two years, although there are rice and various pasta, and a few more vegetables, there are very few recipes, which are nothing more than white porridge, scallion pancakes, pies or steamed buns, and most of the dishes are stewed meat and boiled vegetables. Waking up in the morning is really hard to eat.

Today's small white and tender buns, when you bite into it, the fragrant broth will flow out, and it is served with a bite of sweet and sour cucumber, not to mention how delicious it is. After eating [-]% full, come with a bowl of vegetable porridge, fresh and moist, it is the ultimate enjoyment in the world ah.

The princes had enough to eat, and then asked the queen mother to resign with a little embarrassment and went to the study.I have been a little absent-minded all morning, thinking about what delicious food there will be at the Queen Mother at noon.

So after the afternoon class, they all came to the Shou'an Temple again, and of course they came to care about the fifth younger brother who was learning the rules in name.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the hall, they found that the father, who was usually busy with state affairs, the empress and several high-ranking concubines were there, and it was like a small family banquet.

And Xiaoan lived up to expectations, and presented a table full of color and fragrance, and was rewarded with twelve taels of gold from His Majesty the Lord, as well as some inner-made jewelry from the queen and concubines, which made Biyun Bihe envious, secretly Thinking about whether to follow Xiaoan to learn cooking.

Not to mention that Xiaoan was taking care of Simba in the palace, Banyue Mountain was also very lively. As soon as His Majesty's decree came out, the old officials in the court began to write letters at a daily discount. From the founding of the country to the three idle princes, I said it all over again, in a word, it is not in line with the ancestral system, and I strongly demand that the king take back his will. It is already out of line for a woman to be a king, but she still has a fief. Once this example is opened, Baihua may be in danger of being a vassal king in a few generations.

It's a pity that Shangguan Yufeng is determined this time. When the New Deal was implemented before, it was also blocked by these pedantic and old-fashioned people, so that the promotion of the New Deal was not good. Now, his reward is so generous, it is also for the good of Baihua Country.

Such a person with immortal skills and many new seeds, if he goes to other countries, it will be a big loss for Baihua. He still remembers the deep meaning in Xia Houlie's eyes when he left, if Mu Ai is finally used by Heishui , not only a loss, but also Baihua's bad luck.

Of course, Shangguan Yufeng also had a heart of repaying his kindness in addition to winning over him. It was all thanks to Mu Ai that the fifth emperor was able to save his life. There are definitely not many back covers in a radius of a hundred miles, and no one has been able to climb up that sacred mountain for hundreds of years. Now rewarding the wood ai is a favor of the people, and it is what he likes.

Therefore, when a veteran Gan finally took off his hat and threatened to resign, he took advantage of the situation and allowed them to resign and return to their hometowns, vacating a few real positions, and brought up a few really talented young heroes, so that Prime Minister Wei, who was hiding behind, It is really hard for the dumb to eat Coptis chinensis.

Although everyone in Huadu is doing their own things on weekdays, they are actually waiting for the result of this battle between the monarch and his subjects.When Mu Ai entered the palace and Xie En came out, and the green cloth pony carriage returned to Banyue Mountain, everyone knew that the new female prince was as sure as nails.

As a result, all those who wanted to establish relationships, those who climbed trees to enjoy the shade, and even those who simply wanted to follow the crowd, became busy, and all the silk shops and silver houses in Huadu came like a cloud.

And at the foot of Banyue Mountain, there was a long queue of carriages. Everyone didn't know whether it was out of awe of immortality or humility for power, they all got off the carriage by the bridge, and walked to the foot of the mountain with a group of servants holding gifts. But that barrier still exists, blocking everyone's footsteps.

Mu Ai thought that they would go back after half an hour, but unfortunately she underestimated the temptation of fame and fortune. It seemed that everyone had already prepared for the closed doors. Chat over tea and wait patiently.

There is even a group of sons and gentlemen who brought blankets and screens to join in the fun, entered the peach grove where the peaches were picked, sat under the tree drinking and composing poems, opened their mouths and closed their mouths, and there were people in the depths of the fairy mountain. I can't laugh or cry.

In the end, Mu Ai was helpless, and didn't want to leave a reputation for arrogance in Huadu, so he had to send someone down the back mountain to find Xiao Heng, and asked for a banquet idea to come back.

So, Dayu brought Kong Xi and others down the mountain with a large stack of bronzing invitations, and distributed them to the people, saying that the banquet would be held in five days, and his mouth was dry with only polite words, so he reluctantly sent them away.

　I'm sorry friends, the plan can't keep up with the changes. The child had difficulty breathing at [-] o'clock this morning. I went to the hospital and got an injection to relieve it. I ordered surgery after New Year's Day. I didn't eat all day before I came back to finish the chapter. I was so tired. Today I had to make a single change, I'm really sorry, I will find a chance to make it up in the future, thank you for your support!
