Chapter 135: Stewed pears with rock sugar
Since Shoulu is not simple, then you should check his details, see what he usually does, and who he has close contacts with.
As for the task of investigating Shoulu, the cuttlefish was handed over to Zhang Hai and Zhang's father-in-law.
Once, when Gonggong Zhang came to Xianfu Palace, Cuttlefish specially informed him of this matter and asked him to help pay attention to the origin and movements of Shoulu.
Father-in-law Zhang agreed to the cuttlefish's entrustment, let her wait for the news with peace of mind, and promised that within five days, she would be able to find out some things about Shoulu.
In the next few days, the cuttlefish never went to Wang to agree, but Wang promised to return to normal, and often came to Xianfu Palace to sit and chat with the cuttlefish. The cuttlefish didn't mention the matter of Shoulu, and Wang promised not to talk about it, and the relationship between the two was no different from the past.
In the afternoon, Wang promised to come to Xianfu Palace again, and for some reason, this time she cared about the emperor for the first time.
Wang promised that she would rarely have the opportunity to see the emperor, so she had always ignored and never cared about the emperor's affairs, but today, she deliberately mentioned the emperor, and her attitude was very concerned.
"Sister, how is the emperor doing? I heard that the emperor has been sick recently, and he coughs at every turn, but there is a problem with his throat? Wang agreed.
The emperor was a little angry, which caused his throat to become inflamed, and occasionally coughed for a while, which was not a big deal.
The cuttlefish glanced at her suspiciously, and then replied, "The emperor's cough is fine, but the main thing is that his throat hurts, and his voice is hoarse when he speaks. ”
Wang promised to grab the cuttlefish's hand, and looked naughty, "I don't have to worry, but my sister must be worried." My sister is the emperor's pillow person, and she must be the most distressed person in the harem. ”
Let's talk about it. She also laughed evilly, and looked at the cuttlefish with a clever smile, and the cuttlefish was a little shy by her, so she withdrew her hand and slapped her lightly.
The cuttlefish snorted. "What nonsense! You can't stop eating even if you eat! She pushed the snacks on the table to Wang Yu's hand, and then turned her face away and stopped talking.
She was indeed worried about the emperor, but it was not as exaggerated as what Wang promised, and Wang's promise made her feel weird.
Wang promised to be one of the concubines in the harem, serving the emperor with the cuttlefish, so when mentioning the emperor, the cuttlefish always felt too awkward, although the facts were undeniable, but she couldn't accept the matter of serving a king with a good sister in her heart.
Wang promised not to see the embarrassment of the cuttlefish, she came up with an idea. said, "Why don't my sister make some rock sugar stewed pears for the emperor, after eating, you can get off the fire and moisten your throat." ”
The cuttlefish didn't care much about this, just casually "um", the imperial doctor had already dispensed medicine for the emperor, and the imperial dining room was also thinking of making some meals to clear the heat and defeat the fire, and she didn't need to worry about it at all.
What's more, she is not good at cooking, and the food she makes is not delicious. Compared with the imperial dining room, it was 108,000 miles away, so why did she bother to do it.
Wang agreed but was serious, she saw that the cuttlefish agreed, and said happily. "Then sister, it's better to learn to do it now, and send it to the emperor in the evening." ”
"Huh? Right now? The cuttlefish was reluctant, she raised her head and looked at Wang who was in high spirits, and couldn't bear to refuse directly, so she had to euphemistically shirk it, "Forget it." My cooking skills are very poor, but don't make it too unpalatable, it will only cause trouble for the emperor. ”
Wang Wei frowned and persuaded, "Sister, don't say that, this kind of thing mainly depends on your heart, of course, what you do with your own hands is very different from what the imperial dining room does, and the emperor will only be happier when he sees it." ”
Before the cuttlefish could react, Wang promised to go to the ground, and at the same time pulled the corner of the cuttlefish's clothes, urging her to go to the dining room together.
Although it is not difficult to make stewed pears with rock sugar, but the cuttlefish still can't, Wang promised to take the initiative to ask Ying, to teach the cuttlefish hand-in-hand, the cuttlefish inevitably wondered in his heart, why did Wang promise to be so enthusiastic today? Normally, she doesn't look like that.
suddenly cared about the emperor, could it be that she wanted to serve and be favored? But if that were the case, then she should have made the pear stew by herself, instead of having to pluck the cuttlefish.
The cuttlefish couldn't figure it out, and in the blink of an eye, she had been dragged to the dining room of Xianfu Palace by Wang Yu.
Since you want to do it yourself, you naturally can't let the next person help, so Wang promised to branch out Xiao Yuezi, and then gushed out, "Sydney pears have the effects of clearing heat, removing fire, relieving cough, etc., if you add rock sugar to stew, it will be even better, the steps are not troublesome, just wash the pears and peel them and cut them into small pieces, add water and simmer them with rock sugar, and cook them for about a quarter of an hour until the pears are transparent and soft." ”
The cuttlefish nodded, there were a lot of pears in the dining room, she picked up a few casually, and had to follow the steps Wang promised to do, first wash the pears with water, and then peel off the skin.
Wang promised to look at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Sister, you do it first, I'll go back to Chuxiu Palace to get some peach petals, if you add some petals to the stewed pear, then it will definitely look better, and this can be regarded as being able to achieve both color and flavor." ”
Add petals, add petals, the cuttlefish is too lazy to say anything, everything will be done as Wang promised.
Soon, Wang promised to come back from Chuxiu Palace, she was holding a small box of dried petals in her hand, the color of the petals was pink, but the shape was not as beautiful as when it was in full bloom, after all, it was a dried petal, and the appearance would indeed change.
The cuttlefish casually asked, "Why is it air-dried, wouldn't it be better to pick some fresh ones?" ”
Now it is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals are readily available, and there is a small peach tree in the courtyard of Xianfu Palace, and the peach blossoms on the tree are blooming unbridledly, like smoke.
Wang promised to laugh, "The newly picked petals still have to be cleaned, what a waste of time, it's better to use the one I brought." ”
It didn't matter whether the cuttlefish was fresh or dried, she didn't say a word, just nodded, and then continued to cut the pears.
After the pears and rock sugar were put into the pot together, Wang promised to put the peach petals in it, and the cuttlefish turned around twice in the dining room, and found some wolfberries and put them in the pot, the color of the wolfberries is bright red, which must make the color of this stewed pear more beautiful.
After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Gong lifted the lid of the pot, looked at it carefully, and said, "Let's simmer for a while, sister, this pear is still a little hard." ”
"I haven't done this, I don't know the heat, so you can watch it for me." The cuttlefish squatted aside, didn't even raise his head, and replied hastily. (To be continued.) )
