Chapter 229: Life in the Palace
As for Lao Kang's statement that Ke You and Xing Jin were in charge of the autumn harvest, Shuyun was not worried. Putting aside the growth of the two of them over the years, their abilities are originally good, and they are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, and willingness to study hard. Moreover, when the seeds were sown in the spring this year, they were all replaced by Shuyun for space production, as long as there is no major disaster, then even if it is not them, even if it is replaced by anyone who does not know how to preside over it, there will be no big problem.
There is no reason to go back, and Lao Kang is trying his best to keep it. And Shuyun is really reluctant to give up the buns. So Shuyun agreed to stay for two more days.
Lao Kang was very happy, hugged Shuyun, and said with great interest: "After August 15, I will take you to Xiyuan to live for a few days, where there are crops and melons and fruits planted by my own hands. ”
Shuyun felt that this was so wrong, so she looked at Kangxi with some confusion and said, "Do you mean to let me live in the palace until August 15, and then go to Xiyuan with you?" ”
"I know that you may not want to. But I really want to get together with you. If I wasn't busy, I would be happy to stay with you in Xiangxuehai for a while, but it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is busy, and I am also lacking skills. Then there are the children, they don't say it, but in their hearts they definitely want you to spend more time with them. Kangxi was moved with affection, and he persuaded with reason.
Shuyun really can't stand the life that is ushered in and sent to the palace, and it is extremely boring. But Lao Kang not only moved out the buns, but also showed such sincerity. It's really hard to refuse. Shuyun groaned for a long time. Some embarrassed said: "However, there is still more than half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Isn't it a bit long, you know that I can't get used to living in the palace. ”
"It's only been half a month. It's a long time, it's gone in a flash, I'll try to find time to spend with you, and besides, there are children to relieve your boredom. If you are really bored, you can also go to the emperor's mother's place, or take a walk in the imperial garden, the palace is so big, some of you can visit. Lao Kang looked at Shuyun with extremely eager eyes and said.
Lao Kang's attitude is already so obvious. And for such good reason. What else can Shuyun say? I could only reluctantly agree.
Taking advantage of the convenience of being in the palace, Shuyun released Xiao Jin and asked her to focus on the few heirs and favored concubines in the palace, observing their daily life, words and deeds. Whether this information is useful or not, it always doesn't hurt to have more in hand.
Shuyun has nothing to do, so she wants to make some fresh food, so that the buns can satisfy their hunger and pass the time at the same time.
Just do it, and send away the minions who were with him. Shuyun went straight to the kitchen.
When summer is hot, it's best to make some cool desserts for the kids.
Shuyun made a fruit soup first. The ingredients are: white fungus, yellow peach, strawberry. Pineapple, honey, water.
There are ready-made ones in the White Fungus Palace. Just soak it in water and you're good to go.
The remaining fruits are produced in the greenhouse of Xiangxuehai. Fresh food is delivered to the palace every day. However, due to the small production, it is only enough for Kangxi and the Queen Mother. The princes can sometimes get some, but the concubines don't have a share.
However, Shuyun and the buns are exceptions, they can eat whatever they want, who made Xiang Xuehai hers.
However, these fruits Shuyun is disdainful and edible, and the space is not much better than these. As for the honey, of course, white jade honey is used, and the drinking water of the buns and Lao Kang has long been secretly replaced by Shuyun with space water.
The rest is very simple, just wash the fruit, peel it, cut it, put it in a container with the foamed white fungus, add water to boil, and then add white jade honey when it is almost ready.
Shuyun found fresh coconuts from the south in the dining room. Maybe it's because of the region, most of the people in the palace can't get used to the taste of coconut water. The kids don't like it either. Shuyun wanted to try to make them into coconut fruits for the children to taste. There are also coconut trees planted on the mini seaside of the space, and of course the ones in the dining room have to be changed.
However, it still requires a certain amount of craftsmanship to make coconut fruit, and as for whether it can be made in the end, Shuyun is not sure. I can only try it.
Take out the fresh coconut water and add some accessories such as sugar and acetic acid. Then the raw materials are steamed and cooked, then put on a plate to cool, and then fermented for 5-7 days, if the coconut fruit can show white or milky white gelatinous after cleaning, molding, and selection, and white without impurities, it means that it can be eaten successfully.
The fruit soup is quickly cooked, cooled well, and served with some ice cubes. At the same time, the raw materials of the coconut fruit are also properly disposed of.
While the fruit soup was cooling, Shuyun was ready to make some more cool pastries.
One is Hong Kong-style dessert double skin milk
Raw materials: milk, eggs, sugar.
First, divide the milk into a small bowl and stir with sugar.
Put a small bowl in a pot and steam for two minutes to cool.
Take a large bowl, peel off the egg whites, add sugar and stir.
After the milk has cooled, gently pick the milk skin and pour all the milk from the small bowl into a large bowl with egg whites. After pouring the milk, the milk skin sinks to the bottom of the bowl, so don't break the milk skin. Stir the egg whites and milk together, beat well, and pour into a small bowl with the milk skin, and the milk skin will slowly float up. Then put the milk in a pot and steam it for 10 to 15 minutes. The steamed milk is cooled, and another layer of milk skin is formed, and then a layer of raisins, red bean paste, sweet osmanthus, diced fruits and so on are sprinkled on top of the double skin milk. The delicious and tender double skin milk is ready.
Seeing that it was still early, Shuyun made some mung bean honey cakes.
Ingredients: mung bean, japonica rice, glutinous rice, almond flour, honeysuckle, white jade honey.
Wash the mung beans, wash the glutinous rice, and soak them in space water for 1 hour.
Crush the soaked stalks.
Wash the honeysuckle, put it in boiling space water, soak it for 1 hour, remove the flowers and use its juice.
Inject the mung beans into the space water, boil them over low heat until the skin is peeled, and remove the mung bean skin.
Pour almond flour, rice flour and honeysuckle juice into the mung bean soup, stir constantly, add honey after boiling, wait until the mung bean rice paste is thick and ripe, leave the fire and cool, pour it into a flat dish and cool thoroughly.
The rules for going to the study room are very strict, and you are not allowed to eat during class. And Shuyun was reluctant to go back and forth on a hot day for the buns, so she took advantage of the lunch break to let Xiao Guizi take a few minions to send the children with a few things to eat.
Of course, Kangxi can't be left behind, otherwise he should be polite again.
The Queen Mother also had to be filial, so she had nothing to do, so Shuyun personally sent her servants over.
The old lady was very happy and ate some of everything. He smiled and said: "Well, don't say it, your craftsmanship is good, the mourning family eats these desserts very well, which are both cool and relieve the heat." Shuyun, you have a heart. ”
"Where is the queen mother, this is not what a concubine should do. Recently, the weather has been hot, and the concubines want to make some cool food, so that the emperor, the emperor's mother, and the children can relieve the heat, which are also ordinary things, which cannot be compared with the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs. But if the emperor likes it, the concubine will make you some tastes every day. Shuyun smiled humbly.
"That relationship is good, to be honest, the mourning family is really tired of eating those things made by the imperial chefs, they are all customized, and there is no novelty at all." After the old lady finished speaking, she winked at Shuyun mischievously.
Shuyun was amused by the queen mother's appearance, and also quipped: "If the emperor's words are heard by the imperial chefs, they will not die of sadness, the sin of the concubine is great, the first difference is the fourth, he is a frequent visitor to the imperial dining room, and he is good with those chefs." ”
"Hehe, isn't it, that kid can do everything else, but that little mouth, he can't eat anything at all." Thinking of the fleshy and extraordinarily greedy appearance of the dragon egg, the Queen Mother couldn't help but nod her head and smiled in agreement.
"Alas, I don't know who this child is with, why is it so delicious, the concubines are all worried now."
"What's the matter? What a good child, but it's just a good food and drink, and it's not a big problem, besides, we love Xinjueluo's family and still need him to eat so much? "The old lady's favorite grandson is the dragon egg, and she spares no effort to maintain the dragon egg.
"It's not that the concubine is worried about this, it's just that this child is really a little too fat, look at his little body, it's all round. The fourth child is good to say, after all, he is a boy, he is fat, the key is Tuan Tuan, this girl makes the fourth child eat very well, and the figure is no less than the fourth, if he grows up, he will still be like this, but how can he get it. Shuyun said with a sad face.
"Hehe, aren't these children still young, it's good when they're older, the mourning family looks at the child Tuan Tuan Tuan is also a good one, smart, filial, and understands the rules, you see how handsome her little looks like, she will be a superb little beauty in the future. Besides, we love the princess of the Xinjueluo family and are still worried about getting married. You're just worrying about the sky. ”
"Cough, it made the emperor smile, and the concubines were also concerned about it. But if you let the concubines control the children's mouths, to be honest, the concubines really can't be ruthless, alas, let it be, with the auspicious words of the emperor's mother, I hope they can change when they grow up. ”
As a mother, children are an eternal topic. The Queen Mother likes buns very much, and for a while, the two chatted energetically.
Shuyun finally stopped feeling bored in the palace. Every day, I was busy making some fresh food in the small kitchen of Gyeongin Palace.
Ice cream cakes, strawberry tofu milk, puddings, jellies and more. As long as Shuyun can think of it, the buns have not been eaten, whether it is or not, Shuyun will try to make some.
Now, the buns are happy, and even Kangxi, the Queen Mother and other Agogeges have borrowed a lot of light.
The Gyeongin Palace, which used to be cold, suddenly became lively. It's a children's paradise, and as long as it's not in the upper study, you're sure to find them here.
However, there are many people with mixed mouths, Shuyun is afraid of any accidents, so she has not dared to relax, and Xiaojin is secretly taking care of her, but there is no chaos.
