The Concubine's Frivolous Daughter: Nine Thousand Years Old with a Monster

Chapter 345 Unintentionally Surprised

With ambiguous words, the hotness that Shangguan Ye had suppressed before was stirred up again in his body.He looked at Yu Ci's heart-warm eyes and delicate red lips, wishing he could bring her to justice immediately.

However, thinking of her vomit just now, the still hungry stomach and the child in her belly, the desire that had risen up in him was like being poured down by a pot of cold water, drenching him thoroughly from the inside out. , put down those thoughts, turned around and walked out quickly.

In less than half an hour, Shangguan Ye returned to Zichen Palace, holding a tray in his hand, in which was the porridge he had cooked just now.

Watching Yu Cixin drink all the porridge he cooked with his own hands, and then fell asleep, Shangguan Ye has never been so satisfied for a moment.Afterwards, he simply ate something, washed up and lay down beside Yu Cixin with his clothes on.

Early the next morning, at the end of Yin time, when he got up to go to court, he saw that Yu Cixin was still sleeping soundly on the bed, so he quickly leaned over and pressed a light kiss on her forehead, then got up lightly to wash and wash. , and then lightly left the Zichen Palace and went to the Zhenghe Palace.

But Shangguan Ye didn't know that the moment he left Zichen Palace, the person who was still sleeping on the bed just now opened his eyes, looked at the direction of his departure with a smile on his lips, and secretly said, " Fool".

Afterwards, she called Zi Ya to come in, and after helping her to wash and change her clothes, she took her to the small pond in the imperial garden, and ordered all the eunuchs to go into the water to fish out a few pieces of lotus root. Send the lotus root to the imperial dining room.

Then she looked at the lotus pods produced by the lotus flowers that had already bloomed in the small pond, and by the way, she asked the eunuchs who had not yet landed in time to help her pick a few, and also sent them to the imperial dining room.

After the eunuchs came ashore, Yu Cixin saw that they were all wet, and hurriedly sent them back to change clothes. After all, it was autumn, and the weather was not cold, but the temperature in the early morning was very low. She's not a heartless person, so she naturally wouldn't watch these eunuchs who went into the water to help her scoop up lotus roots suffer from the cold.

Afterwards, the eunuchs were dismissed, and Yu Cixin looked at the blooming flowers beside the small pond, and ordered Zi Ya to fetch a flower basket and scissors. The gorgeous, but edible flowers.

After cutting the flowers, she carried the flower basket and led Zi Ya and a group of court ladies behind her to the imperial dining room.

Ever since Yu Cixin ate the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root specially made for her by Shangguan Ye yesterday, and when he personally cooked green vegetable and lean meat porridge for her, she made up her mind that she wanted to make it herself and let Shangguan Ye also tasted it.And today she woke up early again, and there is nothing left or right, so choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, so I will do it today.

So, when she arrived in the imperial dining room, facing a lot of imperial chefs who were staring at her in a daze, she smiled and said, "What are you busy with, don't worry about me."

"Yes." The imperial chefs nodded respectfully, and then went to busy with their own affairs, but the corner of their eyes was still looking at Yu Cixin curiously, thinking about what she was going to do.

Later, I saw Yu Cixin rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands with clean water, and then washed the few knots of lotus root that were fished out of the small pond and put them aside.Then she took out all the lotus seeds from the lotus pod, peeled and cored them one by one, and put them into the bowl that Zi Ya had prepared for her.She also filtered the dust from the petals and stamens of the flowers in the flower baskets with clean water, and put them on plates for use.

After that, she ordered Zi Ya to find glutinous rice, brown sugar, red dates, sour plums and fresh osmanthus flowers to make sweet-scented osmanthus root, then removed the skin of the lotus root, cut off both ends, soaked the glutinous rice for a while, and stuffed it into the lotus root After the hole is filled, use a small bamboo stick to fix the end that was removed by her back, put it in a pot, add water, brown sugar, and red dates to stew.

Because the lotus root needs to be stewed for a long time, Yu Cixin decided to make some flower cakes and white fungus and lotus seed soup to make up for the waiting time, so she helped her make the noodles according to her request, and she made the flowers The receptacle and stamens are removed, leaving only the petals, and other seasonings are added to make the stuffing, wrapped in the purple buds and rolled out by her, and then steamed on the steaming grid.

As for the white fungus and lotus seed soup, it is even simpler. Add the foamed white fungus and lotus seeds, add rock sugar, lily, red dates and wolfberry, and cook for more than half an hour to make it.

After the flower cake and lotus seed soup were ready, Yu Cixin went to look at the lotus root she had stewed in the pot earlier. After testing the softness, she took it out and sliced ​​it into a plate. The juice was mixed with the juice made from sour plums and brown sugar, and some gorgon powder was added to boil it, and then osmanthus and wolfberry were sprinkled on the lotus root slices on the plate, and the gorgon juice she made was poured over and it was done.

After everything was done, Yu Cixin looked up at the already bright sky, and asked Zi Ya behind him, "Zi Ya, go and see if Shangguan Ye has come down."

"Master, you don't need to ask your slaves and maidservants to inquire about it. Just now, Yuan Qi's guards around the emperor sent a message, saying that the emperor has been busy with court affairs in recent days, and he usually doesn't come down until the third quarter of the hour. Now it's only Chenshi, so ah , this servant guesses that the emperor is still discussing matters with many ministers in the court!" Ziya immediately replied with a smile on her eyes.

"You girl, when did you learn to be so smart that you can figure out what I mean before I give you an order?" Hearing Ziya's words and looking at the look in her eyes, Yuci raised her eyebrows and said. .

"I learned this from my master. My master has always been smart. I've been with you for so many years. It's hard for me to learn." Ziya said while flattering her master. Hearing this, Yu Cixin smiled again and again, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't use this set of perfunctory me. Since Shangguan Ye is still in the Palace of Political Harmony, then you go with me with these things, and I will also take a look at them by the way." See what they look like in court."

Saying that, Yu Cixin pointed to the three things on the tray in front of him, turned and walked out of the imperial dining room.Seeing this, Ziya immediately followed with a tray, leaving behind a group of imperial cooks who were stunned while watching Yu Cixin make osmanthus candied lotus root, flower cake and lotus seed soup in the imperial dining room.

"Is that our empress? How can I see that she is more proficient in cooking than me, who has been an imperial chef for 30 or [-] years, and the quality and dishes make me feel ashamed." After a long time, the chefs in the imperial dining room came to their senses and gathered together to whisper.

"It's not just you who think so, even I think so. When it comes to cooking in the palace, none of you have as high qualifications as me. I entered this imperial dining room to study with apprentices when I was ten years old, and it has passed since then. After nearly 60 years, after several generations of emperors, no one can compare to me in cooking, otherwise, I would not be the chief chef of this imperial dining room. However, I just saw the empress Only then did I realize that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky!
You may not know, yesterday, the emperor specially sent someone to the imperial dining room to ask, saying that the empress likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root recently, and asked people to cook it. For this reason, he also sent freshly fished lotus root from the imperial garden Festival.

In order not to disappoint the emperor and the empress, I made the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root by myself, but compared with the sweet-scented osmanthus root cooked by the empress today, the one I made is simply incomparable.Smell the fragrance that is still wafting in this room, and look at the leftover Gorgon juice. This is the real taste of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root! "

As soon as the words came out, the cooks in the imperial dining room all looked at the grey-haired chef who spoke just now with amazed eyes, followed his gaze, and some even boldly stretched out their hands to wipe some For the sauce, I took some osmanthus candied lotus root left on the cutting board and tasted it. What the chef said was really not exaggerated, and even a little humble.

How can this be incomparable, it is not even qualified to compare!
