"The concubine heard a rumor, does Your Majesty want to hear it?"

Lan Guifei sandwiched a piece of saliva chicken for the emperor, this saliva chicken is tender, spicy and fragrant, and it is so delicious that people can't stop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Emperor raised his eyebrows with interest, "Let's hear it." ”

A sharp light flashed under Concubine Lan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled, "Your Majesty, do you remember the barbecue meat that Yun'er offered at the Xishan Hunting Ground last time?" ”

The emperor's thoughts moved slightly, and he understood, "What does Concubine Ai mean, this rumor is related to Yun'er?" Or the chef who makes delicious barbecue? ”

Lan Guifei nodded with a smile and shook her head again, "Yes and no." After a pause, seeing that the emperor's face was full of interest, he said slowly, "This rumor is talking about the person who made the barbecue, but this person is not the imperial chef, but a palace maid." ”

"Palace maid?" The emperor asked rhetorically, "But the palace maid in the imperial dining room?" ”

Concubine Lan Guifei shook her head and smiled, "This woman's name is Ruan Xian, she was a person from the Siyuan Bureau before, and later the concubine saw that this woman kept her duties and was low-key, and Yun'er was now older, so she transferred this woman to Izumo Palace to serve Yun'er." Unexpectedly, she actually has a good cooking skill, and now the new dishes made in our imperial dining room are said to be inspired by this woman. This abalone sauce phoenix claw is cooked according to this woman's recipe. ”

The emperor was very interested when he heard this, "Is this woman really hidden?" ”

Concubine Lan poured a glass of wine for the emperor, "No, now Yun'er loves her dishes very much." ”

"Okay, good, just because you can make Yun'er not a picky eater, this girl should be rewarded!" The emperor smiled with relief, the chopsticks in his hand moved quickly, the dishes were fresh, and he enjoyed eating very much.

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Lan Guifei's eyes rolled, and she proposed with a smile, "This woman's skills are so extraordinary, I heard that she has a very good relationship with the imperial chefs, and it will be the New Year in a few days." The concubine proposed, why not let this woman cooperate with the imperial dining room to be responsible for the palace banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve? With this woman joining, presumably this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be extraordinary, so that the civil and military officials and their families can taste it, this delicacy is unique to the palace, and it is a gift from His Majesty! ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately felt that this proposal was excellent, and if the dishes of the palace banquet were done well, it would be a matter of great face before the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Without saying a word, he agreed, and the two whispered carefully, and discussed the palace banquet on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve in advance.

Time is like electricity, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is over.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace began to be busy early in the morning. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is customary for the emperor to feast on a group of ministers and hundreds of officials, and the high-ranking officials of the five products in Beijing and their families are on the invitation list, and the emperor celebrates the New Year and welcomes the new year.

The queen has been ill for a long time, and the concubine in the palace has monopolized power, and many people have discussed it in private, and everyone is speculating that this year's palace banquet will not be presided over by the concubine instead of the queen, after all, this was the case with the last winter festival.

The place where the palace banquet was held was in the Wanfu Palace, the eunuchs got the letter, the hundred officials and ministers and their families have now entered the table 7788, and the whole Wanfu Palace is now in order, and the sound of silk and bamboo is extremely lively. The daughters of the noblewomen are all like fairies, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, if they are lucky, they can also get a good fortune bag, and some little eunuchs and palace maids are full of envy.

In the Imperial Dining Room.

The aroma of the compelling, delicious dishes out of the pot, the sound of spatulas hitting each other, knives hitting the cutting board and so on, as soon as the dishes come out of the pot, the master is responsible for decorating and plating, and finally a group of palace maids with good faces and graceful postures serve the dishes.

Right now, outside the imperial dining room, the palace maids who are in charge of serving the food have long been lined up in pairs and ready to go.

Before the palace banquet, the pressure in the imperial dining room was quite high, and although the imperial chefs scoffed at Ruan Xian's assistance in their hearts and disagreed, everyone did not dare to disobey it because of the order of the concubine. What is even more surprising is that Zhu Zheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room, actually handed over the dish of 'sour soup mutton' to Ruan Xian.

Ruan Xian was surprised, but she expected that it must be the concubine who had an order, so she calmly accepted the task.

Lamb in sour soup.

As the name suggests, the soup is sour and spicy and appetizing, the lamb is soft and delicious, and the warming effect is immediate.

The work of this dish is also simple, and the ingredients are ready-made, Ruan Xian ignored the different looks around her, washed her hands and began to prepare.

Pickled wild pepper finely chopped, ginger and garlic chopped into fine puree, green and red millet spicy cut into small pieces, enoki mushrooms, soybean sprouts, fresh mutton slices ready.

Add a little oil to the wok, stir-fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add the wild pepper, then add a spoonful of spicy sauce, pour in the broth, cook for about a quarter of an hour until the soup is fragrant, and remove all the chili dregs without use. Put enoki mushrooms in the soup and blanch them, put the blanched golden needles into the soup bowl and spread the bottom, and then blanch the bean sprouts and spread them into the bowl. In another pot, add more water to boil, turn off the heat, pour the mutton slices into it and slide it until it changes color, then remove it and spread it on the dish, and pour in the hot and sour soup.

Heat the wok and pour a large spoon of oil, the oil temperature is 50% hot, add the green and red millet peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, pour it on the mutton and it will be delicious.

When the time of the banquet came, the news from the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings came one after another, and finally, a newly-dressed blue-clothed eunuch brought a herald to serve the food.

The maids of the palace were full of energy, and they entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings with the delicacies on the tray in a dignified manner.

The matter is over, and the imperial kitchen in charge of pastries and snacks is still busy. Ruan Xian looked around and saw that everyone was busy working or resting, and no one cared about her.

She didn't want to be bored, so she wiped her hands and walked out of the imperial dining room silently.

The gorgeous and bright palace lamps shine in the dark, illuminating the surrounding carved fences and antique environment, the palace maids and eunuchs perform their duties, and the palace guards in armor and swords are even more solemn and look in all directions. Ruan Xian stood in the imperial dining room and watched quietly, with the sound of silk and bamboo laughter coming from afar, and the two little eunuchs behind her who looked calm and old, inexplicably, at this moment, she suddenly felt so cold in her heart.

An indescribable emotion rose in her heart, she took a deep breath, and walked briskly along the path on the right side of the imperial dining room alone, until the sound of silk and bamboo music in the distance gradually became smaller, and she gradually slowed down, and there was silence all around, and the cold wind was cold.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and at this time in the past, she must have been eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her parents and chatting and watching TV. There will be her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and prawns on the table, Dad is drinking a little wine, and Mom must be Rory's chatter. A tear slipped out of her eyes without warning, Ruan Xian covered her heart with her hands, she felt a throbbing pain there, and it was empty with despair and fear, she wanted to go home, she wanted to go home, she missed her relatives and friends, she wanted to return to that carefree and fearless world......

She wanted to laugh wildly, she wanted to curse or cry, she wanted not to be restrained.

She dreamed countless times that it was all fake......

"Ruan Xian, Ruan Xian ......"

A few calls were suddenly heard in the distance, like a spike piercing her extravagance, Ruan Xian suddenly came back to her senses, all her emotions contracted like a hedgehog, and she quickly hung up the mask of incomparably deferential, gentle and calm. The voice of the call grew louder and louder, and she pursed her lips and looked back with a light smile, and in a few moments she saw two eunuchs looking for her with anxious faces.

She had seen these two people beside Su Chuansheng, and as soon as Ruan Xian appeared, the two of them immediately showed surprise on their faces, and said hurriedly, "Ruan Xian, go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings, Your Majesty has summoned you!" ”
