Shen Zhuru knew that it was already a great affection for Li Yuchang to let her prepare two dishes.

There are so many chefs in the palace, one person is in charge, and he can also make a lot of dishes, and the imperial dining room here has to choose the best party to have the opportunity to upload the meal list, Shen Zhuru only needs to get Li Xuchang's affirmation, so that his own dishes have the opportunity to enter the eyes of those big people in the palace, and even be served to the emperor's table, you can imagine what an honorable thing.

Shen Zhuru was a little stressed, but after thinking about it, she still needed to go through the level of Li Xuchang, and she didn't have to worry about sending substandard food and causing herself a lot of trouble.

After lunch, after getting the notice from Chief Li, Shen Zhuru went to the chief of the warehouse to report the ingredients he needed, took his share, and prepared for the afternoon meal.

In winter, lamb and beef are the most suitable.

Mutton is warm and sweet, and it is a food that helps Yuanyang, replenishes essence and blood, and benefits deficiency and labor, and has the effect of warming and replenishing deficiency and appetizing strength. It is beneficial for body weakness and chills, yang deficiency and coldness, hypothermia of limbs, as well as chronic bronchitis cough and asthma, tuberculosis coughing up blood, postpartum qi and blood deficiency, anemia and other deficiency and cold constitutions.

Beef is also warm and sweet, has the effect of nourishing qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening muscles and bones, especially for people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea for a long time, prolapse of the anus, puffy face and swollen feet, and weak pulse.

Mutton and beef are definitely always available in the palace, and they are easy to use, and you don't have to worry about not being able to get the ingredients.

It's just that compared to beef, mutton has a fishy smell, and if it is not handled properly, it is really unpleasant to eat.

However, compared to beef, lamb is easy to prepare, so it is best suited for occasions with a large number of people.

Shen Zhuru quickly thought of a dish, which belongs to the more conservative angelica ginger mutton soup, which can warm the liver and nourish blood, dissipate cold and warm the kidneys. It's perfect for this winter day.

As for the other one, first go and see if there is a presence of sago, if there is. It's a troublesome thing to resolutely choose, if there is no her, then choose another suitable one.

The report of mutton, there is no problem with the treasurer, but for the sago that Shen Zhuru said. The chief of the warehouse didn't know, so he could only take her to the warehouse where this kind of ingredients needed to be stored in a dry place, and he could only be sure after checking it.

After all, there are too many local names for some things before entering the palace, and when they arrive in the palace, they will choose a title, or change the name. Therefore, whether it is the ingredient referred to or not ultimately needs to be determined by the parties.

Especially after hearing that this thing is relatively new, the treasurer felt that Shen Zhuru should go to the warehouse to check it.

The storage rooms in the palace are all stored in different categories, but they are generally divided into meat, dry goods, pickled products, grinding powders, aquatic products, birds, supplements, condiments, etc., and the place where Shen Zhuru was taken is the dry goods area and the grinding powder.

The first thing I went to was the dry goods area, and I didn't find sago here, but when Shen Zhuru arrived at the grinding powder area, she really found something like sago, and the particles made were round. Carefully selected, similar in size to the size of the rice grains.

A large wooden box was filled, and there were several bags on the shelves, marking the same category, and when it was put into storage.

The amount of sago in this pile is small, and it also weighs thousands of catties.

A bag of fifty catties, at least twenty or thirty bags are placed in a conspicuous position, but where this sago is located, the sign hanging is not the name of sago, but crystal rice, crystal clear rice grains. Looking at the finish, it should have been stored for some time, and it was definitely not sent in the last month or two.

"Treasurer, this crystal meter is what I want. I wonder if you can help check when it was delivered and who sent it? Shen Zhuru asked politely.

"I'll see." The treasurer flipped through the car in his hand and found the page where Crystal Rice was, and then responded: "Crystal Rice is one of the gifts given by Lord Qiu of the Autumn Mansion last year, and the Imperial Dining Room has also used a little, but it didn't look good. In the end, I was stuck here for almost a year. If you hadn't found it, when the spring of the following year would have been over, no one would have used it, and it would have to be cleaned up directly, so as not to obstruct the place. ”

"Chief, how much of these crystal meters are in reserve?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking, and wondered in her heart, if the crystal dumplings made out were not appetizing, would she have the opportunity to take these sago for herself and get out of the palace.

However, Shen Zhuru really didn't expect that this sago was actually something that Qiu Shang had entered the palace as early as a year ago, that is to say, Qiu Shang knew that sago was edible before her. Is it a coincidence?

It's hard to say.

"The crystal rice was originally sent in a total of 2,500 catties, and the imperial dining room tossed about 50 catties, and now there are about 2,450 catties left, and there are 1,000 catties stacked here, and the remaining reserves of more than 1,400 catties are placed in the general warehouse."

"More than 2,000 catties, can I take fifty catties first?"

"No problem. Later, I will have 50 catties of crystal rice and mutton ...... By the way, how much are you going to use? ”

"Fifty pounds."

"In addition, there are two catties of angelica, and ginger cooking wine and the like need to be taken extra?"

"Angelica needs, there is still enough stock in the rest of the imperial dining room, if you are worried about not enough, you can also apply for the required amount."

"Then take these things first, and use the rest from the imperial dining room."

"Okay, I'll send it later, I'm tired of signing it to confirm."

Shen Zhuru took the things he needed according to the requirements of the chief of the warehouse, and less than half an hour after returning to the imperial dining room, the warehouse sent the things Shen Zhuru needed.

The assistants in the imperial dining room immediately cleaned the things, and after asking Shen Zhuru how to deal with it, they chopped the mutton into pieces of similar size according to the instructions, soaked it in cooking wine and ginger for about an hour, and then picked it up and put it in the pot and boiled it over high heat, not forgetting to stir the cauldron while cooking, and then used a small casserole to stew on a small stove.

The dim sum bureau in the imperial dining room is all kinds of steamer dim sum and other places, and the stoves are the most large and small, which is enough to cope with the mutton soup cooked by Shen Zhuru.

There was no extra place for Shen Zhuru to toss on Li Xuchang's side for the time being, so he had the initial use of a cauldron to boil, changed to a casserole stew, and transferred to the stove of the dim sum bureau to stew.

After the sago was delivered, Shen Zhuru just took five catties of sago and used it to boil, and before boiling, he had already prepared a soup made of white fungus, lily, lotus seeds, and red dates to cool it for later use, just waiting for the sago to be cooked out of the pot and poured into the sugar water to take it at any time.

After Shen Zhuru's mutton soup came out of the pot, Li Yuchang and the others ate a few bites, and after making sure that the taste would not be weird, the meat was soft enough, the entrance was fine, and there was no fishy taste, so they agreed to put this angelica ginger mutton soup into the list and listed it on the last page.

The sago is not a meal, it can only be considered a dessert, but the taste is refreshing and delicious, and it is not so sweet that after eating a greasy meal, drinking a bowl of lukewarm sugar water, it also feels good, so I agreed to write the name of the dish called sago sweet soup.
