Obviously, Lan Qiduo's original plan was completely disrupted, and what she didn't realize at this time was that housework was a long and complicated activity, and that she could talk to the little starling today because of these delays, and tomorrow she would delay something else because of other housework.

Arrangement and matching are only some of the things of some inner house women, if Lan Qiduo has a mother who grew up with her, she will know that after the girl's family and the house, before she is ready to get married, the mothers will generally teach them to read the account books, take care of the dowry, and control the subordinates, and the knowledge in this is not much less than Lan Qiduo's previous worry about Emperor Kangtai and the affairs of the prince's court.

It was in such a situation that she followed Mama Yun, the long history of the princess's mansion, and a group of subordinates who guided her without a trace to learn the skills that a woman in the house would use in the future, and these loyal and kind subordinates were using their way of not pulling Lan Qiduo's hidden pain to make up for her regret that she had no mother in her previous life and this life.

"Your Highness did a good job at noon today, the old slave didn't expect His Highness to be measured in these things, His Highness is really naturally smart."

Mama Yun watched Lan Qiduo eat with satisfaction, Lan Qiduo was hungry after a busy day, at this time she heard Mama Yun say this, it was impossible to be unhappy in her heart, she had never learned these things from anyone, and now these are summarized by her own groping, it is a little pitiful to say, she never knew that there was a mother in the world, and these mothers would teach her.

"What does Your Highness think of today's meal?"

Seeing that Lan Qiduo was using the meal, Mama Yun handed her a cup of tangerine peel rose oolong tea to relieve her greasy, and then poured out her purpose by the way.

"Mama's meals have always been good, so naturally I don't have anything to say today." Lan Qiduo was a little strange, Mama Yun had always been in charge of her diet, but she never asked her how she ate.

"If the old slave wants to put these meals on His Highness's birthday to entertain distinguished guests, what does His Highness think?"

"That's good! The taste is very good, and the combination of meat and vegetarian is also even. ”

Mama Yun sighed, in the end, she is a little girl, and some things are not well considered, but after all, she is the girl who thinks big, and this vision is not bad! Mama Yun has no one else thinking about protecting her short.

"For example, this tenderloin from Mama completely removes the fishy smell of pork, and the color is even more beautiful."

"And this bean paste roll, the red beans are glutinous, and they are neither too sweet nor tasteless in the mouth, well, I never get tired of the bean paste rolls made by Mama."

Mama Yun nodded with a smile: "Your Highness is right, each of these things is made by the old slave himself, and the old slave is very arrogant about the taste of these things, and few people in Beijing can surpass the old slave." ”

"But has Your Highness ever thought back to the dishes you saw when you were at a banquet in the palace before?"

Lan Qiduo frowned: "Those things just look good, but they don't actually taste good." ”

"Nope! Many of the things that come out of the imperial dining room taste very good, but some things have to be eaten while they are hot, but because of the large number of people at each banquet in the palace, it is too late to make them fresh, and even if they are freshly made, they will not taste good when they are served layer by layer! ”

Lan Qiduo was confused by Mama Yun: "What Mama wants to say is ......"

"What the old slave wants to say is that since His Royal Highness is holding a banquet in his own mansion, it must be both beautiful and generous, and it must taste very good, so that the distinguished guests will feel welcome."

Mama Yun educated Lan Qiduo little by little, and her tone was to explain those things to Lan Qiduo, and it was better to take the opportunity to teach her.

"It's like this tenderloin made by the slave maid today, if Your Highness eats it in private, it's nothing, but if this dish is on the table, it's a little insufficient."

"Why?"

"Because it's not pretty."

"But the tenderloin is bright red and looks very attractive."

"What if the old slave adds a little chrysanthemum to it and becomes a chrysanthemum loin? Does Your Highness feel that it is just in line with the scenery of the Double Ninth Festival, and it will not make everyone feel that the festival has been delayed because of His Highness's birthday? ”

Lan Qiduo drew inferences from each other and quickly said: "Then by the way, some chrysanthemum wine and chongyang cakes will be suitable and good-looking, and let the kitchen make chongyang cakes into chrysanthemums." ”

Mama Yun said approvingly: "Yes, Your Highness thinks very well of the situation." ”

"In addition, His Highness said that the old slave made this bean paste roll, in fact, many people in Beijing have the same taste as the old slave."

"But I think Mama makes the best!"

Mama Yun's face turned into a chrysanthemum, but she still said, "What if the old slave added a taste of green tea to the bean paste roll?" ”

This way of eating is very novel, Lan Qiduo said: "Then try it!" At that time, the green tea bean paste roll in this palace must be the only one in Beijing. ”

"That's natural."

"So the things that go up to the west must be delicious and good-looking, and those who have to look bad or not, or have to eat but are not beautiful, either have insufficient background at home or are short of money, or they simply pay attention to food."

"Let's take care of these grandmothers, I'm in charge of eating on weekdays, and I really don't care about these detailed things."

"In that case, Your Highness will listen to the old slave report and write the name of the dish to see if there is anything to add or subtract."

The reason why Mama Yun let Lan Qiduo meddle in these things is just to let Lan Qiduo get familiar with some of these things that need to be window dressed, she knows that her princess is not the same as other girls, although she has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, but in fact she doesn't care about these things at all, even if she goes to someone else's house for a banquet, she won't pay more attention to the food at other people's homes, but sometimes the dishes that the family treats are also the origin of the family's heritage, Mama Yun can't help but sigh in her heart when she thinks of these, these should have been taught by the queen mother.

"It's fine. Then I'm done with these things, I'll talk to the little starling again, the little starling can recite poems recently! ”

Lan Qiduo's interest in the little starling continues unabated, and he always remembers it every day.

Yun Mama didn't know where to pull out a list, and slowly read it to the list: "Mixed white fungus, stick slag porridge, barbecued pork, egg tart, jade fish dice, hibiscus cake, hibiscus fish corner, Kung Pao quail,"

"Don't put on the hibiscus cake, I feel that you can eat this everywhere, I remember the **** cousin said that this hibiscus cake is almost every family will make it because of its simple method."

Mama Yun looked at Lan Qiduo approvingly, this hibiscus cake was actually what she meant, added to the list, and deliberately read it out, the purpose was to see if His Royal Highness could distinguish it, and as expected, he really saw it!

"Your Highness said yes!"

The first rule of teaching His Highness's general affairs: Do not discourage His Highness's enthusiasm.

"Osmanthus fish sticks, fire alchemy gold body, mustard duck wing, money mushroom, gold inlaid jade plate, crystal jade begonia, orange cup, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, plum bamboo mountain stone, honey yam, lotus root soup, steamed quail, group of shrimp playing lotus, three silk humps, sand boat stepping on the green ......"

"Why are there so many tricks, will they be a little too wasteful?"

"No, each portion of our dishes is actually not much, and in recent years, His Majesty has advocated frugality, and few people have paid attention to some of this etiquette at the dinner table and banquet, and the empty plate is a sign of satisfaction with the food of the host's family."

Lan Qiduo put his mind at ease, discussed the list with Mama Yun again, removed the taste that he had a chance, and left thirty-eight dishes before it was over, and at this time it was already in full bloom. (To be continued.) )
