Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 265 Full of praise
Back in the mansion, Tong Cheng'er looked at the familiar courtyard, feeling a little more at ease.

"These sweet potatoes and potatoes, you share, and then give them to each other..."

Tong Cheng'er started to give orders when she came back.

After giving the order, she still didn't forget to ask: "Don't forget to bring a recipe when you send it."

Those recipes have been tested by Zhuangzi's cooks in the past half a month, and the taste can definitely stand the test.

Mammy heard the words and took the order to do it.

The sweet potatoes were delivered quickly.

In Tong's house, in Shu Mulu's courtyard, Madam Fu entered the main room and reported: "Fu Jin, Si Fujin sent someone to bring things over."

Shu Mulu raised his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Send me something, there is nothing missing in the house."

Mother Fu smiled and answered: "Si Fujin has filial piety, and some are from the mansion, and what Sifu Jin sends is given away, this is not the same."

Shu Mulu was very happy to hear that.

Parents do not just want their children to live a good life, but also know how to be considerate and filial to their parents.

Although Mrs. Shu Mulu doesn't ask her children to return her anything, but with this heart, she feels warm and comfortable in her heart!

What Madam Fu said was right, but what this daughter gave was different.

"As long as you can talk, hurry up and let someone bring things in for me to see."

When Madam Fu heard this, she immediately asked people to come in.

After a while, a few servants came and brought in two big bags. The bag was usually used to hold rice. The bag could hold about [-] catties of rice, so the bag was naturally not small.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes grew irregularly, and they were squishy in the bag, which was not very pretty.

Shu Mulu looked at it with surprise on his face: "What is this?"

On weekdays, my daughter often brought her things, but most of them were packed in boxes, which were very delicate and decent. This was the first time for such a big bag, and Shu Mulu was confused.

The nanny who came over to deliver sweet potatoes and potatoes explained: "Back to Fujin, didn't we live in Zhuangzi for half a month in Fujin? Zhuangzi has a lot of crops, and Fujin is picky during pregnancy. This is why Zhuangzi remembers fruits and vegetables, one of which is called sweet potato. Like potatoes, they don’t have high requirements for the place where they grow. In the past, they were mostly used to satisfy the hunger of poor people, but later, through the whimsy of the cooks, many dishes were improved with these two kinds of fruits and vegetables. The taste is very good, and our Fujin is poor The slaves sent some to Fujin, let Fujin have a taste of it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shu Mulu realized that it was the ingredients!Shu Mulu feels at ease when her daughter thinks about her all the time!
"I'm going to take a trip, Madam Lao."

Mammy smiled and said, "It's what a slave should do."

After all, Mammy presented the recipe about sweet potatoes and potatoes to Mrs. Shu Mulu, who accepted it and asked Mrs. Fu to keep it safe.

The nanny who delivered the sweet potatoes and potatoes completed the task and left after receiving a reward from the Shu Mulu clan.

Waiting for the reward from the Shu Mulu family, when the mother left, she was all smiles, thinking in her heart, this Tong family is really generous, Fujin usually gives it by hand, and he is not stingy to give rewards to the people below, this Tong family Fujin is also so generous.

I have to let Mammy sigh, the Tong family is so traditional.

She very much hoped that such an excellent tradition would continue.

On the other side, inside the palace.

In the Yonghe Palace, Wu Yapin looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes sent by Tong Cheng'er, and said casually: "Two bags of food for the poor to satisfy their hunger, and I am ashamed to take them to honor the elders, but Yinzhen Fujin is even more filial. Hurry up and take it out, it’s an eyesore if you put it here.”

The nanny on the side listened silently, but she didn't quite agree in her heart, but she dared not say it!The empress just thinks that King Yong and King Fujin are not pleasing to the eye, so she will give them good words, and she will die.

Wu Yapin disgusted the two bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then "accidentally" dropped the recipe into the covered censer, instantly burning to ashes.

After burning, she gently slapped her nose with her fingernails, and said with disdain in her eyes: "It's really bad luck, quickly take out this incense burner."

Mammy was speechless, but said honestly: "Yes, ma'am."

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager heard about the ingredients that Yinzhen and Tong Chenger sent, and felt that they had intentions. In her position, she had never seen any good things. Don't look at the two bags of things that sounded cheap, they looked cheap. It's not very pretty, but just relying on this kind of intention alone, it is enough for the empress dowager.

"It's rare that Yinzhen and him, Fujin, can still remember the old lady Aijia. Let someone take it to the small kitchen and make it according to the recipe. Aijia has a taste."

Taste the filial piety of grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

Seeing the empress dowager look like this, the nanny on the side was also happy, smiled and said, "Yes, empress."

In the Qianqing Palace, Su Peisheng personally came to deliver it.

Outside the imperial study room, Liang Jiugong saw Su Peisheng coming.

Su Peisheng walked up to Liang Jiugong with a smile on his face: "I've met Mr. Liang!"

Liang Jiugong smiled: "Grandpa Su is polite, what kind of wind brought Mr. Su here today."

"What about Mr. Liang..."

The two first exchanged a few polite greetings. Of course, the reason why Liang Jiugong gave Su Peisheng this face was because Yinzhen was valued by Kangxi.

After chatting for a few words, Su Peisheng explained his reason for coming.

"Master and Fujin went to the Zhuangzi to think about it behind closed doors a few days ago. The Zhuangzi produced a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Fujin asked the kitchen to use these two ingredients to make a lot of dishes. The taste is not bad. No, the master just came back from the Zhuangzi. He Fujin ordered the servants to send some to the Lord Long Live to taste something new."

Liang Jiugong was taken aback when he heard the words. In his position, he was used to seeing people who gave away babies to the Long Live Lord.

He knew sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he had suffered a lot before entering the palace, and he knew that sweet potatoes and potatoes were food for poor people to satisfy their hunger.

Hearing the words, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the "taste is okay" in his mouth.

He had eaten that thing, it wasn't too bad, but it was really delicious.

"Grandpa Su, I've eaten sweet potatoes and potatoes before. Is there something wrong with letting Long Live eat them?"

Su Peisheng: "The taste of these sweet potatoes and potatoes is really average when cooked, but the cooking does have a special flavor. The master and Fujin are full of praise."

Liang Jiugong believed what he said so firmly.

Then Liang Jiugong asked the little eunuch to take the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Then he went into the study and reported the matter to Kangxi.

Although Kangxi had never eaten sweet potatoes and potatoes, he had heard that they were similar to the coarse grains used by the victims to satisfy their hunger, but both Yinzhen and him, Fujin, said they were delicious, so it would be no harm to try them.

So he ordered Liang Jiugong: "Let the dining room make it according to the recipe at night, and I will try it."

Liang Jiugong: "Yes, this servant will order the dining room."

That night, sweet potato and potato-based dishes and porridge were placed on the tables in the Tong Mansion, the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, and Kangxi's Qianqing Palace.

A cook who can work in the kitchen of a big family and the imperial dining room in the palace has a recipe. As long as the recipe is good, there will be no problem with the taste of the dishes made according to the recipe.
