Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 77 Winter Solstice
Mi Xiaoye's life as a cook has been less than half a year.

During this period, Mi Xiaoye's cooking skills have not grown, but his knife skills have improved a lot.Now with Su Ziling's permission, Mi Xiaoye has removed the sandbag and can cut vegetables with her eyes closed.

During this period, Li Ruyue came to provoke her twice again, presumably because she lost the last time, and she was a little upset about being slapped in the face by Mi Xiaoye.It's just that Su Ziling resolved these two provocations.

Seeing that it is coming to the winter solstice, the winter solstice is a big festival of the year.In Dashang, the winter solstice is as important as the Spring Festival, and each has a seven-day holiday (very cool!).

Mi Xiaoye put on her newly made jacket, happily preparing for the winter solstice.

The winter solstice of Dashang is a very important festival, and it is for the emperor to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was grandly held in the Daming Palace of the Dashang Imperial Palace, praying for the prosperity of the country and the people, and good weather.On this day, the emperor will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and the people will worship their parents and elders on this day.

In addition, among the people, there are naturally various celebrations about the winter solstice (after all, the seven-day long holiday, is there any good celebration?).The winter solstice pays homage, gathers and feasts, counts the solar terms, counts to nine, and eats various festive foods.

After finally looking forward to this day, Mi Xiaoye got up very early excitedly, and then exercised.When she fell asleep and woke up, Mi Xiaoye would greet Su Ziling according to the rules.

After paying his respects, Su Ziling took Mi Xiaoye to dinner.At the dinner table, Mi Xiaoye asked Su Ziling, "Master, what do we Da Shang usually eat during the winter solstice?"

"A lot, depending on what the north and south eat," Su Ziling said.

Mi Xiaoye said: "I know, I know, northerners eat dumplings, and southerners eat glutinous rice balls, right?"

"Dumplings?" Su Ziling smiled, "Of course, but usually we call dumplings Yanyue-shaped wontons, or Yuanbao."

"Yuanbao sounds nice, I like it." Mi Xiaoye said, "Master, do you eat glutinous rice balls in the south at this time?"

Su Ziling said: "This is not necessarily the case, it depends on the specific place. Although ingots are eaten in the north, mutton soup is eaten in Tengzhou. In the south, there are more. In some places, red bean glutinous rice is eaten, and sweet potatoes are eaten in others." Tangguo, glutinous cakes, winter solstice balls, winter solstice noodles, red dates and longan with boiled eggs are all available."

"Wow, I didn't expect that there would be so many delicacies for the folks to eat during the winter solstice alone." Mi Xiaoye said, "Master, what did you eat during the winter solstice in previous years?"

Su Ziling said: "In the past, I was alone, and I didn't care about what to eat. Sometimes when the mood came, I would make some duck flower soup cakes."

"Duck flower soup cake?" Mi Xiaoye squinted her eyes and said, "It sounds very tall, and what master makes must be even more delicious. This year is different. With me accompanying master, the two of us have a much more lively meal."

Su Ziling smiled and tapped Mi Xiaoye's forehead, and said, "Little girl, you're really a foodie."

"Master doesn't like food?"

"I like it." Su Ziling smiled.

Dashang's soup cakes are boiled noodles or noodles, and they were also called Suobing, Hutou, and Butuo at that time.To put it bluntly, it is noodle soup.Dashang soup cakes are often active in people's daily life, and there are many varieties.

The "duck flower soup cake" mentioned by Su Ziling is also a famous dish in the Shaowei banquet eaten by the emperor.Since it is a famous dish, it is naturally more complicated to make. The duck flower soup cake is to make the noodles into the shape of ducklings, which looks like the cartoon shape that children eat, and it looks very cute.
