Chapter 126: Excellent cooking

"This is really a little girl's banquet, all of them are young and energetic." The Queen Mother saw that Rong An was no longer there, and her face returned to peace.

There was a faint smile on her face, presumably the previous episode didn't really affect her mood.

"The Queen Mother, you are still young." There's a sweet mouth on the bottom.

It's Ah Xiu, although he followed the Queen Mother, but he didn't say a word.

Gu Jinrong winked at her and motioned for her to look for her later.

Ah Xiu nodded at her, she also wanted to go over, but when did the queen mother's hand plan to let go!

"On weekdays, this banquet is all about getting together to chant poems, so it's better to have some new tricks today, just take this plum blossom as the theme, and let's make a small snack that you are good at." The Queen Mother didn't look at the sweet-mouthed young lady, but said to herself.

She had just had a short contact with Ah Xiu, and she knew that she should not be a vassal and elegant.

And her father's temperament is definitely impossible to teach her this.

She had just touched her hand, and compared to those pampered girls, Ah Xiu's hand seemed a little rough.

The Queen Mother was distressed for a while.

"Yes." The ladies answered.

"You can go too, Mama Lu, this Ah Xiu didn't bring a maid, so you can go and help for the time being." The Queen Mother said.

Mama Lu had quickly dealt with Rong An and returned to her.

"Yes." Mama Lu nodded.

She doesn't understand the queen mother's thoughts. In the past, she spoiled Na Rong'an and spoiled no one in her eyes, but now her complexion has not changed, so she dragged people down so shamelessly.

However, she won the trust of the Queen Mother because she was loyal and didn't talk much.

"What are the boys over there doing?" Seeing that Mama Lu went to help Ah Xiu, the Queen Mother casually asked about the situation on the other side.

"But the chant is right."

This plum blossom banquet is almost a blind date, so naturally it is impossible to invite only noble girls, and those young masters are also invited, just like Gu Jingling.

But after all, there is still a difference between men and women, so I won't let men and women be together in the first place.

When the queen mother, the host, arrives, she will find a random excuse. Let there be some opportunities for communication between men and women.

For example, the women's side holds a talent competition. When the time comes, send the poems of the ladies to the men, and they will comment on the poems they have obtained.

And vice versa.

It has been like this for several times in the past, and everyone is mentally prepared, but today the Queen Mother is for Ah Xiu. The program was temporarily changed.

Time. Those noble ladies were a little panicked in their hearts.

I can come to this plum blossom feast. are all the daughters of prominent families, and how many women of such an identity can cook.

The Queen Mother remembered herself back then, and she couldn't do anything. When I entered the kitchen, I couldn't tell the difference between soy sauce and vinegar.

What those noble ladies are most annoyed about now is why they didn't bring in a maid with good cooking skills!

"What do you want to do?" Mama Lu asked, although she didn't know how long this Ah Xiu could be favored in front of the Queen Mother, but she gave her the string of beads just now, and Mama Lu didn't dare to slack off.

She felt that this Ah Xiu should be favored for a lot longer than Na Rong'an.

When the Queen Mother saw Rong An for the first time, she just gave a pair of mutton fat butterfly jade pendants.

"Plum cheese? Plum crisp? Plum blossom cake? Ah Xiu said three names in one breath.

When Mama Lu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, it seemed that she was a good cook.

"It's a pity that I can't ...... any of them" Ah Xiu pouted, she usually cooks like that, can she still expect to make exquisite snacks?

Moreover, her family was too poor before, and she was a complete carnivore, so she had never touched this kind of thing at all.

Mama Lu didn't know what to pick up for a while.

sighed silently: "Then let's pick plum blossoms first." "As for what to do, she's there anyway.

Since she is the person that the Queen Mother wants to support, she will naturally help her.

And she is very good at pastries, and the Queen Mother specially sent her over, thinking that this is what it means.

"Is this plum blossom picking exquisite?" Ah Xiu looked at Mama Lu with black and white eyes.

Mama Lu sighed in her heart, she had a good pair of eyes.

"It's good to look good, just for decoration." Mama Lu said that she planned to make plum blossom cake, but although this plum blossom cake is called this name, there is no real plum blossom in it, as long as it looks like a plum blossom.

"It's good." Ah Xiu answered, and walked to Gu Jinrong's side while picking plum blossoms.

Gu Jinrong happened to be waiting for Ah Xiu to come over.

"Why did you come here with the Queen Mother, how is the Queen Mother's illness?" Gu Jinrong asked, although looking at the mood of the Queen Mother, there should be no big problem.

"When I went, Xue Xingyi had already shown the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager had already fallen asleep, so let me wait for her to wake up before going to check her pulse." Ah Xiu replied.

She could see that Gu Jinrong really cared about herself, and her heart warmed slightly.

"Oh, why does the Queen Mother seem to like you very much, isn't it the first time we've met today?" Gu Jinrong continued to ask, and Pei Yan, who was standing on the side, also looked at Ah Xiu with a curious expression.

Just now when they saw the Queen Mother treat Rong An like that, their eyes were about to pop out.

You must know that Lu Dao is Rong An, who has been hurt by the Queen Mother for so many years!

"It's the first time we've met." Ah Xiu himself also wants to know the reason for this.

She always felt that since she arrived in the capital, many things had deviated from her expectations.

Ah Xiu is most concerned about now, how to make this pastry!

"Have you figured out what to do?" Ah Xiu glanced at them, Gu Jinrong and Pei Yan didn't seem to be worried at all, and when they just came over, they were just walking around a little casually.

"Don't think about it, just do it casually when the time comes, anyway, we don't pursue the first. It's you, just now the Queen Mother treated you so differently, you had better work a little harder. Gu Jinrong reminded.

Gu Jinrong knew that Ah Xiu was from the people, didn't there be an old saying that "the children of the poor are in charge early", she subconsciously thought that Ah Xiu could cook.

What a beautiful misunderstanding!

"Then I'll go back first." Frightened by Gu Jinrong's sentence of "work hard", Ah Xiu felt that he should hurry back and think of other ways.

When she arrived at her place, she saw that it had only been a short time since then, and Mama Lu had already kneaded the flour and was making the filling.

Ah Xiu has finally come to his senses now. It turned out that the Queen Mother didn't send Mama Lu over to be a helper. It's just to be a gunslinger!

"Miss Axiu, just put this in the mold." Mama Lu pointed to the plum blossom cake on the table, almost just short of the shaped plum blossom cake.

Since the Queen Mother said that she would let the ladies make a pastry by themselves, she had to leave something for her to do.

"Okay." Ah Xiu thought about it, it seems that he is indeed only suitable for this.

It's just half an hour's work. The finished pastries are baked one by one.

This was originally a cold plum garden. Because of these pastries. It's getting warmer, too.

"Niangniang, you taste it, this is made by Miss Axiu." Mama Lu sent a small plate of plum blossom cake to the Queen Mother.

Mama Lu has been by the Queen Mother's side for so many years. Naturally, she understands her thoughts.

There was a hint of water in the Queen Mother's eyes for a moment, but she immediately returned to her usual appearance: "Look at it, it's excellent." โ€

This grandmother's craftsmanship is naturally good, her ancestors have been imperial chefs for several generations, because she is a woman, so she is on duty next to the Queen Mother, but the craftsmanship is also a good one.

If it was really Ah Xiu's doing, the result would definitely be something that couldn't see the shape.

The Queen Mother gently picked up a small piece of plum blossom cake with chopsticks and took a small bite.

"It's really delicious, Ah Xiu not only has excellent medical skills, but also excellent cooking skills."

For the first time, Ah Xiu felt blushing because of being praised.

Praise her for nothing else, the Queen Mother even praised her cooking skills so bluntly.

It's inevitable that she is too open-eyed to talk nonsense, this plum blossom cake, only the shaping and petals are made by her.

And she hasn't seen the Queen Mother yet, so she says that she has excellent medical skills.

Ah Xiu felt that she really didn't understand what the Queen Mother was thinking, as a stranger who met for the first time, she didn't need to brag about herself so much!

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter, maybe who opened the back door for her, but this is the Queen Mother!

Ah Xiu felt that when she came to the palace this time, the mystery in her heart was getting bigger and bigger.

If it goes on like this, she can't guarantee whether she can still be not curious about the truth of her life experience.

"Pack up all the pastries of the ladies below and send them to the bamboo garden next door for those sons to taste, there is no such blessing on weekdays." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

As for Ah Xiu's plate, she deliberately ignored it.

Since the Queen Mother didn't say anything, naturally no one dared to grab something in front of the Queen Mother.

When the ladies below heard that the pastries they had made were going to be given to those sons, they immediately blushed.

Originally, they were still a little disappointed, and the Queen Mother didn't taste their craftsmanship, but now this result seems to be very good!

"By the way, when I sent it, I said that I would choose three plates of the best pastries and let them taste them carefully." The Queen Mother said, and took another piece of plum blossom cake to her mouth.

Mama Lu, who was standing on the side, reminded softly: "Niangniang, it's the third piece." โ€

The Queen Mother's hand paused slightly, and she chuckled: "I'm in a good mood today, it's okay to eat more." โ€

There is an unwritten rule in this palace, the emperor, the queen mother and the queen mother's meal, each dish can be tasted at most three bites.

One is because their meals are rich in dishes to prevent them from being overeaten, and the other is because they are afraid that someone will write it down and do something undesirable, such as poisoning. (To be continued......)
