Chapter 156: Pomegranate Stays
I don't know whether to say that this Zhongkang charm is too high, or whether to say that his acting skills are too good, but it makes these women who have been up and down in the harem for many years be sincere, and I think it's really not a simple character. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dim sum that Tang Fei wanted to make for the emperor was pomegranate fruit.
This pomegranate fruit is called pomegranate fruit, but in practice, it has nothing to do with pomegranates.
In fact, it is a red bean paste bun made of red beans, but it looks like a pomegranate, and then it is decorated with red beans, just like red pomegranate seeds.
Tang Fei made pomegranate fruit, firstly, he wanted to take the opportunity to test the emperor's attitude, and secondly, he wanted to use this pomegranate fruit to express his friendship like the emperor.
The garnet pomegranate is the same as the real pomegranate.
In the past, there was a farewell to the willows, but Tang Fei wanted to use this pomegranate to express his attachment and reluctance to the emperor, and to express his nostalgia.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Tang Fei not only wants to show his good skills in cooking to the emperor, but also uses this pomegranate fruit to strengthen his image as a bitter and silly woman in the harem who is obsessed with the emperor.
While testing the emperor's attitude, he took the opportunity to invite pets, which killed two birds with one stone.
This pomegranate fruit, which is also known as a steamed bun with red bean paste, is not difficult to make.
Tang Fei had already made xiaolongbao before entering the palace, but at this time, it was just a matter of changing the filling, which was even simpler, and it was easy to catch.
It's just that the dough of this pomegranate fruit needs to be dyed in advance with the red soup of boiling red beans to make it red, so that it looks more like a pomegranate.
The proportion of this soup should be well controlled, if it is too little, the color is too light to see, if it is too dark, but the color is too strong, it will become black.
Tang Fei also used several doughs before finally mixing the right color.
Once the most important steps are complete, the others are much easier.
Longan and Cherry have all helped Tang Fei make xiaolongbao before, and they also have some experience at this time, so they helped Tang Fei wrap pomegranates together.
There are still some differences between pomegranate fruit and buns, that is, when closing the mouth, you should leave more dough and make it pomegranate-shaped.
But this is not a difficult thing, Longan and Cherry are both skillful people, and they do it better than Tang Fei, which is really vivid.
After it is wrapped, it will be put into the pot, and in less than half a cup of tea, a pot of bright and attractive pomegranate fruit will be out of the pot!
Tang Fei selected a few of the best ones and put them in a white background yellow glazed purple and green dragon pattern plate.
The red pomegranate fruit, coupled with the white porcelain plate base, is very gratifying.
Tang Fei carefully picked a few red beans with his hands, carefully decorated them on the pink pomegranate fruit, and pretended to be pomegranate seeds.
Now, these pomegranate fruits are even more lifelike.
When Tang Fei made pomegranate fruit, he had already dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial dining room, leaving only longan, cherry, and Kang Dahai.
Now these people are looking at the red pomegranate fruit, staring intently, and smelling the aroma of real red beans and honey in the air, it really makes people's mouths water, it is too tempting.
Tang Fei couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the stupidity of several people.
Thinking about it, in this world since ancient times, people have taken food as the sky, and it is difficult for people to resist the temptation of food, otherwise the ancient mythical beast has a special name called gluttony.
To capture a man's heart, first grasp his stomach. Tang Fei thought that he was going to send this pomegranate fruit to the emperor to taste for a while, and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile like a little fox.
"Don't look in a daze, except for these few who are going to be sent to the emperor, the rest will be rewarded to a few of you."
Hearing what Tang Fei said, Cherry and Kang Dahai were all overjoyed, and Longan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but smile.
"Longan, don't be happy yet, you have to go to the Qianqing Palace with me and give this pomegranate fruit to the emperor."
Gui Yuan smiled and bowed his head in response.
On the other hand, Cherry said excitedly: "Sister Guiyuan, don't panic, Kang Dahai and I will keep it for you, and we will definitely not eat it all~." ”
When he said the words "eat them all", he deliberately lengthened his tone, as if he was deliberately telling Guiyuan that he was going to eat all these pomegranate fruits.
"Master, look at this little hoof, it's getting bigger and smaller, look at how I clean her up at night."
Longan also laughed in a rare coquettish voice, and the whole imperial dining room became happy because of the amusement of cherries.
A few people laughed, Tang Fei also took two longans, put the plate of pomegranate fruit into the food box, and the longan carefully carried it, and the two of them went towards the Qianqing Palace.
Because it took some time to make this pomegranate fruit, when Tang Fei and the others went out of the imperial dining room, they found that the sun had set and the moon had come out.
In the end, the days are not longer than in the summer, and the days are later than in the summer.
The road to Qianqing Palace, Tang Fei has already walked it several times.
But it's different every time.
Every time I walk, my mood is different.
Thinking of the thrills and twists and turns when he deliberately made himself sick in order to invite pets, and broke into the Qianqing Palace with Guiyuan two nights, and thinking about the leisurely and self-satisfied strolling in the imperial garden as Jieyu now, Rao is Tang Fei was also emotional.
In fact, it has only been a few months since he entered the palace, but I don't know why, for Tang Fei, it seems like a long, long time has passed.
The twists and turns of the past few months have been more than in the previous life.
Quietly look up at the sky, the moon is slightly willowy, today is August 16.
It is said that the moon of fifteen is sixteen round, and the moon is really full like a silver plate, and the jade light pours out, and the stars that reflect the sky have lost their usual color.
After walking for a long time, he accompanied Liu Ying in the imperial garden for a long time at the beginning, and now from the imperial dining room to the Qianqing Palace, it is not a short distance, Tang Fei felt that his feet were slightly sore.
If you want to take off your embroidered shoes, you will find that the soles of your feet should be slightly red and swollen.
Seeing the corner of the Qianqing Palace from a distance, Tang Fei was inexplicably a little nervous.
I can't tell why, maybe it's thinking of the faint smile that the emperor always wears in the palace, maybe it's his bottomless eyes, maybe it's his kiss that day......
Thinking of yesterday's deep kiss, lingering as if he was about to melt himself, Tang Fei's cheeks couldn't help but burn, and his heart became faster.
But after thinking about it, and thinking that he didn't know how many concubines he had kissed so gently and lingeringly, and he was just one of them, he suddenly felt a little bored.
couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "Tang Fei, Tang Fei, I want you to be a stupid woman who is infatuated with the emperor on the surface, but I don't really want you to be a stupid woman who is infatuated with the emperor." You've always been smart, but don't do anything stupid. ”
Walking and thinking all the way, in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the door of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor's personal eunuch Chang Huaquan was guarding the door of the palace, and he was also taken aback when he saw Tang Fei suddenly appear in the Qianqing Palace. (To be continued.) )
