Chapter 147: A Familiar Taste
Gu Zhixing didn't expect that she was laughing so happily in the room in the middle of the night for this matter, and she was slightly stunned, and then suddenly laughed.
Su Mian looked at him with some expectation and excitement in his eyes, which made his heart tremble slightly, and his heart suddenly had mixed tastes.
He and Su Mian came here from the same place, but their thoughts were diametrically opposed.
She has been immersed in interpretation for too long, but Su Mian wants to use what she has learned in her life to change this place and make everyone's life better.
can like such a little girl, of course I am willing to realize all my ideas for her.
As long as she says it, she will find a way to do it for her.
smiled, and just as he wanted to speak, Gu Zhixing saw Su Mian yawn.
"It's not getting early, go back and rest early, I'll go to the imperial dining room early tomorrow morning." She rubbed her eyes and muttered.
"To the Imperial Dining Room?" Gu Zhixing's expression was a little puzzled: "What does Ah Mian want to eat, just let people go and spread it, you don't have to go in person." ”
"I'm not trying to eat anything." Su Mian explained unhurriedly: "I want to go over and make some dim sum, Gu Zhao said today that he likes to eat almond crisp, I want to make some for him tomorrow, and send them to him after he gets off the morning court." ”
Hearing Su Mian say that he wanted to make snacks for Gu Zhao to eat, Gu Zhixing's gaze crossed a faint unpleasantness.
He suddenly regretted it, so easily agreed to Su Jin to enter the palace to be Gu Zhao's teacher.
This is inevitably too much of a concern......
……
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow morning, after a simple explanation, Su Mian planned to go back to rest.
Although Gu Zhixing was already jealous in his heart, he still reluctantly agreed, and took her to the imperial dining room early tomorrow morning.
There was no way, if Gu Zhixing hadn't followed, those people in the imperial dining room would definitely not let her in.
I didn't sleep well this night, and early the next morning, Su Mian got up from the bed early and dragged Gu Zhixing to the imperial dining room.
The people in the imperial dining room naturally didn't dare to stop Gu Zhixing, and when they saw him taking Su Mian to make snacks here, although his jaw was so shocked that he almost dropped, he still nodded hurriedly and agreed.
Su Mian said that she wanted to make almond cake, so the leading chef hurriedly asked people to come over with the corresponding materials and explained to Su Mian in detail what to do.
also specially told Su Mian that Gu Zhao didn't like to eat too sweet, so it was better to be lighter.
Su Mian nodded in agreement, wrote down all the steps to make dim sum, and got busy.
The busy people who came and went in the imperial dining room couldn't help but take a second look when they passed by Su Mian's small place.
Mix everything together according to the recipe that the imperial chef said just now, and after the fermentation is complete, Su Mian is worried about the dim sum in front of him that is only one step away from being served in the pot.
She doesn't pinch shapes.
The dim sum master in the palace has a pair of skillful hands, which can knead dim sum into various shapes, whether it is flowers or rabbits, it is all at hand.
But Su Mian didn't know it at all, but she didn't want to go through the help of others, she just wanted to finish these snacks by herself, and even Gu Zhixing only had to watch.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Mian picked up a square-shaped piece of dim sum and gently pinched it more carefully than doing a chemical experiment.
The shape she wanted to make was simple, just to make the simplest shape of a flower.
After pinching it tentatively for a while, a dim sum that could barely be seen to be in the shape of a flower appeared in his hand.
It's just that it's a bit ...... to look at that way Appalling.
Su Mian herself felt that it was too ugly, but if she pinched it again, I was afraid that it would not be as good as it is now, so she had to carefully put it in the cage drawer, and then picked up the next piece.
Gu Zhixing looked at her serious appearance on the side, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness in his heart, but he could only endure it.
Su Mian pinched it seriously, and finally pinched all the snacks in his hand, and finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Except for the first few pinched ones that were a little miserable, the rest were barely able to see although they couldn't compare with the dim sum chef.
Putting the snacks into the cage drawer, Su Mian tidied up the flour on her hands and dress, and then noticed a heat on her face.
Gu Zhixing didn't know where to take out a handkerchief, wiped it lightly on her cheek, and then whispered softly and dotingly: "Why do you make your face all over the place?" ”
Where have the people in the imperial dining room seen Gu Zhixing's appearance?
Immediately, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to come out, and I always felt as if I had seen something amazing.
Su Mian's face burned, he quickly glanced at the crowd around him who were bowing their heads, and reached out and snatched the handkerchief in his hand.
"I'll wipe my ...... myself," she said, as she turned around quickly, her face couldn't help but burn again, and she couldn't help but cry and laugh in her heart.
What's going on with Gu Zhixing lately?
It's just a race against time to seize the opportunity to show affection!
Wrong! Who is in love with him?
I didn't!
Su Mian's magical brain circuit didn't know how many turns it took in the brain, and the heat on her face finally dropped a little.
After about a stick of incense, Su Mian's dim sum in the pot was finally steamed.
Carefully taking the cage drawer off the stove, Su Mian opened the lid with some expectation, and then showed an expression that wanted to laugh.
Originally, those dim sum were not delicate, and after they were steamed...... It's a little more funny.
"Or else...... Let's try again......"
Su Mian looked at the snacks in the cage with some hesitation, and felt very bottomless.
Gu Zhao must be accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he doesn't have to be disgusted when he sees these snacks of his own......
Gu Zhixing's heart was already surging with jealousy, and when he heard her say that she wanted to do it again, he instantly spoke: "I don't think it looks so bad, besides, you made it yourself, your mind is the most important thing, Gu Zhao is not such a bad person, you will always taste a piece." ”
Su Mian hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be time for Gu Zhao to go down to the morning court, so he had to dispel this idea, and asked people to put the dim sum he had made on a plate and put it in the food box, and then took it with Gu Zhixing and sent it to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Gu Zhao had already received the news that Su Mian had gone to the imperial dining room early in the morning to make snacks, but he didn't take it to heart.
Not bothering to pay attention to what she wanted to do when she went to the imperial study, Gu Zhao responded lightly, and began to deal with his official business.
Unexpectedly, after a while, I heard someone report that Gu Zhixing and Su Mian were coming.
Frowning, Gu Zhao had just put down the fold in his hand when he saw two people walking in, still carrying a food box in their hands.
Slightly stunned, the more he looked at it, the more he thought of what he had just heard.
The ...... in this food box Could it be the dim sum that this woman just made?
Sure enough, before Gu Zhao could speak, Su Mian put the food box in his hand on the table and said to Gu Zhao: "You said yesterday that you like almond crisp, so I made some early in the morning, although it looks a little unsightly...... But the taste should still be good, and I added something special, do you like it? ”
As she spoke, she casually opened the lid of the food box, and took out a plate from it with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Gu Zhao only glanced at it, then he was slightly stunned, and said a word without hesitation.
"Ugly."
It's really ugly, he's grown so big, he's never seen such an ugly dim sum.
I can't even cook, I really don't know what Uncle Huang has taken a fancy to this woman......
After thinking about it in his heart, Gu Zhao suddenly noticed two cold eyes sweeping towards him.
Subconsciously looked over, and sure enough, at a glance, he came into contact with Gu Zhixing's somewhat threatening eyes.
Afraid that Su Mian's self-esteem would be frustrated, Gu Zhixing took the lead in reaching out and picking up a piece, tasting it, and then praised it: "Although the appearance is a little average, the taste is still okay." ”
Then as he spoke, he pretended to glance inadvertently in Gu Zhao's direction.
Knowing that he had to taste a piece of this dim sum today, Gu Zhao had no choice but to pick the best-looking piece with some disgust and pinch it, take a small bite, and then he was slightly stunned.
He has loved to eat almond crisp since he was a child, because he was bullied in the palace before, and even the food he ate was much worse than others.
His mother has always been unfavored.
In this palace, everyone can look at colors, and as long as you are not favored, no one will look up to you.
Even the imperial dining room doesn't take them seriously, and often there is something left, so they send something to satisfy their stomachs.
At that time, Gu Zhao was still young, and one day he suddenly made a noise to eat snacks.
His mother had no choice, so she had to find a way to find the dining room where she cooked for the palace maids and eunuchs on weekdays, and personally made him a plate of snacks.
And tell him it's almond crisp.
That taste, Gu Zhao still remembers it.
Later, after ascending to the throne, he specially asked the imperial dining room to make exactly the same thing, but it was not the taste of the year anyway.
But the little snack Su Mian made today suddenly reminded him of these things.
The taste of the dim sum in his hand is eight points similar to that made by the mother concubine back then.
"What did you add to that?" Gu Zhao suddenly raised his head, his eyes staring at Su Mian tightly.
"Did you eat differently?" Su Mian's expression was a little surprised, and he explained: "I added some honey and osmanthus powder to it. ”
"Honey and osmanthus powder......" Gu Zhao muttered, staring thoughtfully at the dim sum in his hand.
Seeing that he didn't seem to like it, Su Mian asked tentatively, "What do you think?" Is it tasty? ”
A dark light slipped under his eyes, Gu Zhao's heart moved slightly, put the snack in his hand back on the plate, and said lightly: "General." ”
What about the taste similar to that made by the mother?
At the end of the day, it's just a plate of dim sum.
