Chapter 63: The Hawthorn and the Fish
After more than half an hour, the sun became more and more full, and everyone was too hot, so they all went back to their respective dormitories with umbrellas.
Along the way, the cuttlefish also chatted with a few concubines who were often waiting, and these usually rarely interacted with each other, but now they can be regarded as having a little intersection.
This has come and gone, who is suitable for deep friendship, and who can't be offended, the cuttlefish also has some answers in his heart.
After returning to Xianfu Palace, the cuttlefish went directly into the dining room, and the dining room was full of the pungent smell of meat, which made people drool when they smelled it. Xiao Yuezi was stewing meat in front of the pot, he saw that it was the master who came, and said happily, "Master, the slave is making braised pork for you, you can eat it in a while, you can wait a while." ”
Ruyi smiled, "I learned the good news this morning, Xiao Yuezi had to go to the Internal Affairs Office and ask for a lot of dishes, as well as fish and meat, just to celebrate." ”
Now that the cuttlefish has been exonerated and the attitude of the Internal Affairs Office has changed a little, it is not too difficult to order food.
The cuttlefish glanced at the leftover meat on the board, and then his eyes quickly fell on the basin next to him, a large copper basin containing a small amount of water, and a few crucian carp that were still fluttering in it, the crucian carp was fat and delicious, and it was good to get it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing that Ruyi and Xiao Yuezi were very happy, the cuttlefish also went with them, "Since it is said that it is to celebrate, then let's have a meal together, but don't let me enjoy it alone, what does it mean, we have fewer people, just cook less." ”
Then, she walked to the stove, picked up the copper basin, and said to Xiao Yuezi, "Xiao Yuezi, do you know what snacks you can make with fish and meat?" It's best to be the kind that is easy to carry, looks good, and doesn't bring soup. ”
"This, let the minions think about it." Xiao Yuezi rolled his eyes, thought about it and thought about it, and after a while, he patted his head, and finally had an answer, "Only slaves can make fried fish cakes!" ”
The cuttlefish has never tasted fish cakes, "What are fried fish cakes?" Is it troublesome to do, can it be done in half a day? ”
This series of questions is a little confusing, I can't figure out why the master suddenly asked this, is there a big article in this fish?
Xiao Yuezi replied honestly, "It's not too troublesome, it is to cut the fish fillet into pieces and steam it first, and then make the cooked fish into fish paste, the finer the fish paste, the better the taste, add minced ginger, corn starch, eggs, a little salt and oil to the fish paste, stir evenly in one direction to make a cake." After the oil pan is heated and the oil is released, continue to heat it, put the fish paste in and fry it, and the fish cake will float and you are done. ”
Ruyi frowned when she heard this, "What about the fish bones, how to eat them in the fish cake like this, it will get stuck in your throat when the time comes." ”
"Of course, you have to pick out the thorns first." Xiao Yuezi rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You treat me as an idiot, you can't even think of such a simple question, can you still cook for your master every day?" I have a knack for picking fish bones, and I can finish them in a while, so I don't need you to remind you. ”
"Hey, I'm just kind to ask, are you blowing your beard and glaring." Ruyi stuck out her tongue mischievously and fought back.
Seeing the two of them arguing, the cuttlefish covered her mouth and laughed, Xianfu Palace has not had such a relaxed atmosphere for a long time, she wants to keep this beautiful moment for a longer time, a little longer......
"Oh, it's all your fault for messing with me, I forgot the dishes in the pot."
Xiao Yuezi turned around to look at the braised pork in the pot, Ruyi grimaced behind him, the cuttlefish shook his head helplessly, and got down to business, "Xiao Yuezi, can you make these fish into fried fish cakes before dinner, divide them into equal portions at that time, and send them to various palaces." ”
Xiao Yuezi was puzzled, "You mean you want to give away fish cakes?" It's not too much work to do it, but I don't understand why you're doing it. ”
Ruyi has the same question.
The cuttlefish just smiled and said, "You just have to do it, I have my own plans." ”
Near evening, Ruyi brought a plate of fried fish cakes that had just come out of the pot and walked into the house, the room was suddenly filled with a strong smell of fish, and the cuttlefish sniffed it with its nose, and immediately came to the spirit.
Ruyi said, "Xiao Yuezi and Chunxiang have gone to deliver fish cakes, you can taste these first." ”
The fish is delicious, the heat is just right, it is fragrant but not greasy in the mouth, the taste is excellent, the cuttlefish nodded, presumably such a delicious delicacy should make people appetite.
She narrowed her eyes, secretly smug.
In the morning in the Zhongcui Palace, Guo Guiren's homemade hawthorn rock syrup was quite popular, and the palace concubines present still felt unsatisfied after drinking several cups.
Hawthorn already has an appetizing effect, and if you give them delicious fried fish cakes at this time, it is estimated that a lot of them will be eaten.
If she hadn't read in a book before, hawthorn and seafood could not be eaten together, she might not have thought of this trick, the two foods mixed together will lead to intestinal blockage, increase intestinal poison retention in the intestine for passive absorption, causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
This little problem can't hurt the body, but if so many people vomit and diarrhea together, it will cause suspicion. Thinking of this, the cuttlefish gulped down the fish cakes, and she had to be like everyone else so that she wouldn't lead the trouble to herself.
If you don't believe it, even if you ask them to take the rest of their food to check, the hawthorn juice they drank during the day will be finished after drinking, and even if they want to check, there is no way to verify.
Moreover, she also sent fish cakes to the queen and Concubine Xi, and the two of them did not go to Zhongcui Palace to drink the hawthorn juice, and there would be no problem just eating some fish, so only people who went to Zhongcui Palace would feel uncomfortable, and everyone would be suspicious of Guo Guiren at that time.
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Yuezi came back, the cuttlefish's stomach became uncomfortable, and his appetite also hurt faintly, and he vomited no less than three times in half an hour.
I heard that several concubines in the palace had the same symptoms, and those in Chuxiu Palace also reported this to the queen, and specially announced that the imperial doctor would come over.
The cuttlefish told Ruyi to go to Chuxiu Palace, saying that her stomach was also very uncomfortable, and she went to the imperial doctor to find a prescription, so that even the news that she was unwell spread out.
After Ruyi came back, he was full of doubts, "Why are these masters all sick, could it be that they have eaten bad things?" ”
The cuttlefish took the prescription, swept it but didn't look at it carefully, and said casually, "Take some medicine according to this recipe and come back and boil it, by the way, what did the imperial doctor say." ”
"This time it was Imperial Doctor Guan who came, Imperial Doctor Guan has always loved to fool, he said that it was no big deal, maybe it was caused by eating stale things in the hot weather, it was just diarrhea, and it was not in the way. He really can't speak, how can this master's body be precious and expensive, how can he not get in the way?! ”
