Chapter 141: The Bell (15)
The people in the small kitchen listened to the recipe and went to cook with great interest. Where can I take care of her, I didn't think she could make any dishes, I only made up my mind, and when the time came, I would see if I would cook a few more dishes and mix them together, and it would be the princess of the county who made it herself.
Zhuang Minhua didn't care, she thought about the order of cooking in her mind. She first planned to make a clay pork with candied dates, which was a fragrant, mellow and thick old fire soup. When Huaishan enters the soup, its own mucus will be absorbed by the soup, and after a long time of stewing, Huaishan becomes soft and melts in the mouth. This soup can strengthen the spleen and replenish deficiency, nourish the heart and moisten dryness.
Zhuang Minhua first instructed the knife master to chop the lean meat into finely minced meat foam. Then blanch in boiling water until the lean meat changes color, then remove it. Put it in the soup pot, add the washed Huaishan slices, dates, green onions and ginger slices, and pour in enough water. After the medium heat boils, turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour, add the wolfberries, and continue to simmer for a while. Just add a pinch of salt to taste before cooking. After you do it, you will drink a bowl while it is hot, and you will feel that the heat on your body has faded, and the fluid has increased greatly, which is very comfortable. is suitable for the current queen mother, she eats too much hot food.
After placing the soup pot on the stove, let one of the kitchen apprentices look at it.
She turned around and made a dish called "Spring Garden", which is rich in color and light and fresh in taste. The tofu and shrimp in it contain high-quality protein, and the vegetables have sufficient vitamins and dietary fiber, which not only balances nutrition, but also neutralizes the greasy feeling of big fish and meat. It is also a dish that is very suitable for the Queen Mother.?
Zhuang Minhua first washed the processed shrimp and drained it. Add the condiments and marinate for a quarter of an hour. Blanch the peas, broccoli, diced carrots and ham in boiling water, then rinse and drain. Cut the tofu into sections, hollow out the middle, place the shrimp in the middle, and then steam in the pot for half a moment. Then stir-fry the diced carrots, peas, sweet corn kernels and ham. Stir in the salt and serve. Pour in the middle of the shrimp tofu. Add a slight boil to the soup of steamed tofu, add condiments, and mix well. Pour it into a plate with broccoli on all sides and tofu and shrimp in the middle. Suddenly, a fresh fragrance rushed to the face. A "spring garden" with all colors and fragrances is ready.
Make another dish of sweet and sour rouge lotus. Boil the thinly sliced lotus root in boiling water for a while. Fish it out again. Drain the water. Add the purple cabbage juice that has been blended into pink, mix it with honey, and a dish of pink sweet and sour annatto is ready. The colors look very beautiful. It tastes sweet and sour, crisp and tender, and nourishes the body. Zhuang Minhua has worked hard for the queen mother's body, and she can't leave a little handle in eating.
Seeing that everyone had done almost the same, Zhuang Minhua made three dishes and put them away, and the others were surprised when they saw the dishes made by Zhuang Minhua. Everyone originally had little confidence in Zhuang Minhua, but now they see that she is familiar with her skills, and the dishes she makes are so pleasing to the eye, looking at it makes me feel mouthful, and I can't help but look forward to the taste of these dishes.
In everyone's expectant eyes, Zhuang Minhua picked up some of the sweet and sour rouge lotus root and tofu shrimp that he had made and put them on the plate and brought them to Concubine Rong to taste. After Concubine Rong tasted it, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she praised: "It's delicious." Then the chopsticks kept going, and soon some of the dishes on the small plate were at the bottom.
The others stood in the kitchen with the lingering smell of vegetables, and when they saw Concubine Rong's demeanor, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhuang Minhua saw that Concubine Rong agreed, so he said generously: "You can also taste it." As soon as the words fell, the cooks swarmed up and ate up the extra dishes.
Everyone was so happy, Zhuang Minhua was also very happy, she clapped her hands, "Okay, the Queen Mother also came to pass the meal just now, let's present these dishes now!" ”
Concubine Rong also stood up and patted her hand with satisfaction, "Good boy, you have worked hard." I'll take care of the rest! You go down and change your clothes, then you have dinner, and then you come and change me. ”
"Daughter-in-law is not hard." Zhuang Minhua immediately shook his head, how could he let his mother-in-law go to serve others and eat first! "Mother, let me go and serve the Queen Mother for dinner! Go eat first, I'm not hungry!" ”
Concubine Rong looked at her for a while, knew that she was not polite, and laughed, "That's it, don't fight, let's all go back and change our clothes, and it is disrespectful to wear this clothes stained by oil smoke to see the Queen Mother." After serving the Queen Mother, let's eat together! ”
"Hey." Zhuang Minhua agreed with a smile, and helped Concubine Rong to go back to the side hall of their residence in Ci'an Palace first, change their clothes, and then return to the concubine's room, ready to serve her for dinner. Zhuang Minhua put up his spirits, and then he didn't know how the Queen Mother would make things difficult for the two.
Sure enough, when Mama Jiang helped the Queen Mother to come and sit down, the Queen Mother was very angry when she saw the light dishes on the table, "You are feeding rabbits!" How can you eat it so light? Pull it down and do it again for the mourners. ”
Zhuang Minhua was originally standing with Concubine Rong and waiting for the dishes to be served wherever the concubine's eyes looked, but the concubine came out like this, but fortunately, she was prepared. She took a step forward and said with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, these dishes were prepared by me and my mother. In order to let you use it well, the mother concubine specially collected a lot of dishes that we don't have in Daqi. Grandmother Huang, take a look, do these dishes look a little unfamiliar? ”
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the dishes on the table, only pleasing to the eye, the tip of her nose was fragrant, she swallowed quietly, awkwardly, and made a "hmm" from her nose.
Zhuang Minhua took the initiative to give her the steps, picked up the chopsticks, and put a piece of sweet and sour rouge lotus root into the queen mother's bowl, while saying with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, you try this lotus root slice, it was made by the granddaughter-in-law herself!" It tastes sweet and sour, crisp and tender, and very appetizing. Why don't you give your granddaughter-in-law a thin noodle and give it a try? ”
The Queen Mother looked at her in surprise, and then looked at the lotus root in the bowl, "Well, the mourning family will give you a face." As he spoke, he picked up the lotus root slices and took a bite of them, and suddenly felt that the sweet and sour juice spread on the tip of the tongue, and the lotus root slices between the teeth were crisp and tender, which was very refreshing. Well. The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "It's okay." ”
Zhuang Minhua saw that the Queen Mother was satisfied, and took the opportunity to clip a piece of tofu and shrimp over, and said with a playful smile: "Imperial grandmother, you try this, tofu wrapped with shrimp, very fresh, this is also made by granddaughter-in-law!" ”
The Queen Mother became a little interested, and she was also a lot kinder to her, and said with a smile: "Oh, then what other dishes did you make?" ”
"I also made a soup, and when the imperial grandmother is almost done, I will bring it up." (To be continued.) )
