I can enlighten everything

Chapter 10 Breakfast
A quarter of an hour later, Qing He walked in carrying a beautiful food box, put the food box down, and took out a bowl and two plates from inside.

A bowl of porridge, a plate of sliced ​​lotus root, and a plate of pastries.

Qing He knew that Dianhua didn't understand many etiquettes in the Qi Mansion, so she hurriedly said: "Master Immortal, the porridge is still a little hot, and the temperature of the dishes is too high. Now is not the best time to have breakfast."

"Before eating breakfast, you need to wash your hands, face, and mouth."

"Master Immortal, please wait a moment."

The Taoist Robe Immortal Artifact that was enlightened just yesterday has its own body cleansing technique, so the body can always be kept clean, and there is no need for these things at all.

Originally, Dianhua wanted to refuse, but Qinghe left the living room quickly without giving him this chance.

Looking at Qinghe who was busy going in and out, Dianhua found that compared with last night, both Qingzhu and Qinghe seem to have changed a lot, becoming more lively, more living, becoming... ...more of a "person" than a "tool".

It seems that because she forgave Qing Zhu and let Qing Zhu stay, Qing He was very grateful for this, so she treated him with more care.

Thinking of this, Dianhua didn't call out to stop Qinghe, and did as she wished, just to experience what the decadent life of the upper class and powerful in feudal society was like.

Not long after Qing He left the house, she led four thirteen or fourteen-year-old maids in long green dresses to come in. Each of the four maids held a basin filled with warm water in their hands, and a tea bowl and a teacup on a tray. A small plate of bamboo shoots, one with a spittoon, and a tray with several dry and wet towels placed separately.

Dianhua is full of curiosity about what is happening now and what is about to happen, and has this anticipation.He just didn't speak, and didn't make unnecessary movements, treating himself as a puppet, obediently letting Qing He teach him by hand.Qing He said what should be done, and he would do it.

"Wipe your hands with a wet towel first, then wipe your cheeks with another wet towel, then apply some flower soap on your hands and face, rinse with clean water in the basin, and then dry with a dry towel .”

"The next step is to clean the mouth. You need to chew this bamboo shoot repeatedly for half a cup of tea, then rinse your mouth with salt water. Spit the mouthwash into the spittoon, and then rinse your mouth with clean water twice. Finally, use Wipe the corners of your mouth with a dry towel, and the preparations before eating are complete."

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Dianhua to wash up.

Qing He waved the four little maids to go down, and said: "Master Immortal, the temperature is just right now, you can have breakfast. Have porridge first to warm your stomach."

After hearing that breakfast was available, Dianhua, who had been hungry for a long time, followed Qing He's advice, quickly picked up a spoon and took a sip of the golden millet porridge.

'Hmm~ It's so delicious! Dianhua squinted his eyes, quietly recalling the taste just now: "It seems that it tastes like chicken soup. This is not a simple millet porridge. There must be other ingredients in it. I don't know what it is?" '

Dianhua glanced at Qing He and asked, "The ingredients?"

Qinghe's comprehension ability is very strong. Although there is only one word, she immediately understands what Dianhua wants to ask. Yan Yan explained with a smile: "The breakfast you use is the same as the master's. This bowl of millet porridge is served with What is made is the hen soup that has been simmered overnight, and after filtering out solid residues such as chicken, chicken bones, spices, ingredients, etc. with gauze, only the clear chicken soup is left to make the soup, and it is made by adding millet."

Dianhua was amazed in his heart. It took a whole night to make it so exquisitely, but it looked the same as ordinary millet porridge. If he hadn't taken a sip himself, he really couldn't tell the difference from ordinary millet porridge. It's really "low-key". .

After taking another two mouthfuls of porridge, Qing He continued: "Master Immortal, don't just drink porridge, eat some pastries and side dishes."

Dianhua picked up a piece of light yellow pastry and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look. He found that it was not a whole when viewed from the side, but a square pastry formed by layers as thin as a cicada's wing. .

Inconspicuous from a distance, but up close it is a work of art.Dianhua was almost reluctant to speak.

Put the pastry in your mouth and chew it lightly. It is warm and delicious, sweet but not greasy.

This sweetness is...

"Honey?"

Qing He didn't know much about this pastry, so she explained in a general way: "This pastry is only made of rice and honey. It doesn't use precious ingredients, but the method is a little delicate."

'Yes, it does not use precious ingredients, but the effort and thought put into it are more precious than precious ingredients. '

Dianhua picked up a piece of lotus root and looked it over carefully. Just like the pastry, the lotus root slice looked like an ordinary lotus root slice from a distance, but when he looked closely, he found that it was actually a layer of lotus root slices that were first cut into slices as thin as cicada wings.

The holes in the lotus root slices are filled by dicing other vegetables, and these vegetables are naturally processed in the same way as the lotus root slices.

Coincidentally, these vegetables are obviously stacked by thin slices, but they are tightly glued together by some unknown method. When they are held by chopsticks, they are not scattered or deformed at all.

Put it in front of your nose and smell it gently, there seems to be a faint fragrance of wine.

Dianhua took a bite, and the taste was so-so at the beginning, only the crispness of the lotus root slices and the slight aroma of wine, but the more you eat, the more delicious it is, the taste of other vegetables, and the taste of eggs, etc. The taste stimulates the taste buds and turns into a pleasant feeling called deliciousness rushing to the heart.

After unknowingly swallowing it, the fragrance still lingers on the lips and teeth, which makes people have endless aftertaste, which is really delicious.

Qing He found that the immortal master seemed to enjoy eating, and he was also very curious and thirsty for knowledge. After eating a dish, he was also interested in how it was prepared.

'Fortunately, I am also good at cooking, and I am proficient in some of these family dishes in the mansion, otherwise I would have been asked. '

With the previous two explanations, Qinghe became more and more comfortable. This dish is one of the dishes she is best at cooking. This time, Dianhua didn't need to ask. Qinghe saw Dianhua looking at her, and immediately explained road:
"This dish uses ordinary ingredients, and only one fresh character is used, but it is a test of knife skills. Each vegetable must first slice the lotus root according to the normal size, and other vegetable ingredients into small rounds, and the small rounds are stitched together Inlaid into the natural holes of lotus root slices, they are tightly spliced ​​together."

"Then cut the spliced ​​lotus root slices into slices as thin as a cicada's wings, and then use egg white as an adhesive to coat one side of the slices, and then stack them together again."

"Fry it in warm sesame oil for a while, and remove it before it is browned. The heat of this process is very important, whether it is sesame oil or frying. If you are not careful, the fire will be either high or low. Poor After a little heat, the dish will be ruined."

"After frying, take it out, put it in a small bamboo steamer, and use the turbid wine brewed from five grains for 30 years to cook the soup. After cooking for a while, the greasy sesame oil and the fishy smell of the egg white can be removed."

"This is also a test of the heat. If the heat is too high, the crispness of the lotus root slices will be lost, and the freshness of the vegetables will be lost. If the heat is too low, it will be a little greasy or fishy, ​​which will affect the taste."
