Huaying Pavilion.

When Concubine Hua received the holy decree, her face was shocked beyond words. She glanced at the rewards on the table, all sorted, dazzling, she was the first person in the palace to receive His Majesty's reward.

In the future, her good days will come.

"Your Majesty, when did you become so interested in the osmanthus tree in this palace?" She couldn't believe it and asked Gonggong Li.

"This is a blessing for the mother, for so many years, the slave has not seen His Majesty take the initiative to ask for something from anyone."

Concubine Hua's tears of excitement were about to fall out: "I also hope that my father-in-law will say a few kind words in front of Your Majesty and persuade Your Majesty to come to the palace of more concubines." ”

Gonggong Li is also very good at talking: "This is natural, Niangniang doesn't have to worry." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Hua felt indescribable satisfaction in her heart.

……

Jiang Baizhu took three steps and made two steps back to the imperial dining room, and the others had already picked fresh osmanthus flowers and put them in the back basket. She squinted her eyes and glanced at it, this faint gentleman's work efficiency was quite high.

Li Yuchu on the side listened to His Majesty's order to pick some fresh osmanthus flowers, this time, he also came over to see the excitement, and as soon as he came in, he saw Jiang Baizhu holding osmanthus flowers and slowly picking out the impurities in the flower stalks.

He looked left and right for a while, and he was a little bored, in the recent days, His Majesty always ordered Jiang Baizhu to cook, and he didn't have any chance to show it at all.

Jiang Baizhu smiled at her and said hello, and continued to sort out the newly picked osmanthus flowers.

"Xiao Jiang, I'll help you wash the osmanthus." Imperial Chef Li neatly carried a bucket of water and came in the direction of Jiang Baizhu.

Jiang Baizhu was frightened by his enthusiastic formation, and hurriedly stood in front of him: "Wait! ”

Li Yuchu was stunned, and his footsteps stopped abruptly: "What's wrong?" Ogawa. ”

"This osmanthus can't be washed."

Only then did Imperial Chef Li suddenly realize: "Oh! You can't wash it! ”

Jiang Baizhu explained: "The picked osmanthus can't be washed or dried, if it is cleaned, the fragrance will fade, and this osmanthus cake will not be fragrant." ”

I see, just now he almost did something bad with good intentions.

"Sorry! Xiao Jiang, I don't understand anything. He scratched his nose in shame.

Jiang Baizhu tugged at his lips: "In this case, you can help!" ”

Li Yuchu's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

How can there be a reason for reluctance to help someone, Jiang Baizhu is also happy to accept: "Then help me pick out the impurities in the osmanthus flower stalks." ”

"Okay." Li Yuchu was eager to try, according to the way Jiang Baizhu taught, he picked for a while, and soon, he lost patience: "Xiao Jiang, can you arrange something else for me to do." ”

Jiang Baizhu glanced at him and shook his head, how could he be a big deal in the future if he was so hot for three minutes.

He pushed the remaining half of the osmanthus to him: "I'll do it anyway!" You take a break. ”

Imperial Chef Li was relieved: "Okay! Then I'll see how you make osmanthus cake, which is also a kind of learning. ”

Jiang Baizhu's hands and feet were particularly neat, and soon, he picked the osmanthus well.

Take out the glutinous rice from one side, clean the glutinous rice first, and soak it in a basin of water, it stands to reason that this glutinous rice needs to be soaked for four or five hours before it can be fished out, but Jiang Baizhu really doesn't have so much time to wait, so he can only take out some ripening powder developed at home, but in a blink of an eye, the glutinous rice will be extremely soft and golden.

"Xiao Li, give me a piece of cage cloth."

Xiao Li was stunned, and he didn't find the cage cloth after rummaging through the cabinets.

Jiang Baizhu was very helpless, and pushed his behemoth body away, and the placement of items in the imperial dining room on weekdays, I am afraid that Xiao Li didn't pay attention to it.

"I'll do it!"

Li Yuchu smiled at her awkwardly, and he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Baizhu quickly found a few pieces of cloth, spread them neatly on the steamer, and then took out the glutinous rice and spread it inside.

After all this is ready, "Xiao Li, add firewood to the fire." ”

This matter is what Xiao Li is good at, and when he comes to his own use, he is excited to chop wood and burn the fire.

During this period, she took out the required lard, sugar, and osmanthus flowers, and then stirred them together after the glutinous rice was basketed, and then stirred and kneaded them with rolling and kneading to make them bond with each other into a delicate cake body, and smeared with vegetable oil.

When the osmanthus cake was made, Imperial Chef Li stared at the osmanthus cake in surprise: "Xiao Li, the osmanthus cake is made like this." ”

Jiang Baizhu's eyes flickered, and he put the cut osmanthus cake on the plate of the mirror: "Okay, I'll go to the Cheng'en Palace." ”

Imperial Chef Li stared at the rest of the fragrant osmanthus cake, and his saliva was about to fall: "What about the rest?" The implication is probably whether Jiang Baizhu can let him taste the rest of the osmanthus cake.

Jiang Baizhu also deliberately: "I'll leave the rest to you!" ”

This is exactly what Imperial Chef Li wanted, and he was so happy that his mouth was crooked: "Don't worry, Xiao Jiang, I will definitely help you handle it well." ”

"Hmm!" Answering softly, Jiang Baizhu strode towards the Cheng'en Palace, not daring to delay any longer, waiting for the faint monarch to wait impatiently, he would definitely be furious.

In the imperial dining room, when Imperial Chef Li was about to feast, following the fragrance, Manager Li walked in.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

Imperial Chef Li turned his head and had already swallowed a piece of osmanthus cake, and the taste was simply indescribable.

He had never eaten such a delicious meal when he was so big.

Tears fell excitedly: It's a delicacy in the world! ”

Manager Li frowned slightly, is it really as good as he said? He took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and the whole person immediately felt like he had been shocked by electricity, and he was stunned for a long time.

Sweet as glutinous, delicious, juicy... This... This smell really doesn't have to be covered.

He also wanted to take a piece, but Imperial Chef Li took the osmanthus cake into his arms with the eyesight: "Manager Li, I'll retire first." "If you continue to stay, these few pieces of osmanthus cake will not be eaten up by Manager Li."

He quickly got up and fled in a hurry.

In a hurry, a piece of osmanthus cake was accidentally shaken off around the imperial dining room.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan was attracted by a burst of osmanthus fragrance from afar, and the person carrying the sedan chair passed around the imperial dining room, and inadvertently, a piece of paste on the ground attracted her attention.

"Stop!"

The person carrying the sedan chair had to stop respectfully. The ghost sent the gods, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan, with the support of her grandmother, passed step by step.

"What is this?"

As she approached the paste, she stopped and ordered someone to pick it up.

Mama put the osmanthus cake on the handkerchief, and when she smelled it, the fragrance of osmanthus made her swallow hard.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is osmanthus cake."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan sniffed vigorously: "Take this thing quickly." ”

Mama didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent the osmanthus cake over.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan took it, stared at the osmanthus cake in her hand, did not feel that her appetite had increased greatly, and she really wanted to take a heavy bite, but she had just ordered someone to pick it up on the ground, and if she ate it directly, she would inevitably be made fun of.

She is today's filial piety queen mother, she will pick up food on the ground to eat, if this thing spreads, won't it become a laughing stock for people all over the world after dinner?

After being entangled, she quickly flashed an idea: "Quickly find out to the mourning family, who dares to throw everything in the palace and make the entire palace smelly and smoky, and if the mourning family finds out, it will be severely punished." ”

That's what he said, but in fact, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan wants to find out the chef behind the scenes, she hasn't eaten such a desirable delicacy in the palace for a long time, if she can find out, she will be reused.

"The Queen Mother is wise, and it is best to lose such stolen goods to the minions." Mama stared at the osmanthus cake in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan, thinking that if the Empress Dowager would let her lose it, she would secretly find a place to eat it alone.

How did she know that the words of the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan shocked her: "This kind of stolen goods must be kept well, and see who in the palace dares to be so extravagant and wasteful." ”
