Chapter 22 The Queen Mother Joins the Gang
Gui Yuchu didn't expect that the Queen Mother would lead him directly into the kitchen.
I saw that she herself put on a strange-shaped "dress" outside her coat, and the female officer next to her also put on one, and the Queen Mother asked the female official to take one and put it on herself.
In the kitchen, the porcelain basin on the stove has been sorted and placed with all kinds of cleaned fruits, as well as some fruits that can only be eaten in other seasons just after being taken out of the ice cellar, such as kumquats, hawthorns, grapes, etc.
Xiaoguo first soaked the dried black plum, licorice, mint leaves, tangerine peel, dried mulberries, etc. in warm water, and then showed his knife skills, peeling and cutting the fruit into pieces in a very short time, and returned to the imperial chef to watch it dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the enticing aroma of fruit came out of the pot that he woke up from a dream.
Xiaoguo pointed to three exquisitely shaped crystal glass bowls: "Go back to the imperial kitchen and try it!" ”
The crystal clear or red soup, coupled with the colorful fruit chunks inside, is mouth-watering just by looking at it.
The pursuit of delicious food made the imperial chef forget the cumbersome palace rules, he picked up the small bowl of red soup, scooped up some soup with a silver spoon, and drank it gently, a strong sourness filled the tip of his tongue, and before he put down the silver spoon, a sweet taste came up, he instantly felt refreshed, every pore in his body seemed to be unblocked, and he couldn't help but take another sip.
Xiaoguo smiled innocently next to him: "The sour plum soup is still the best to chill, and now that it has just been made, the hot soup is inevitably a little sour." ”
Gui Imperial Chef has tasted three bowls of soup, in front of the strong sour plum soup, the other two soups will inevitably be damaged in taste, Rao is so that the bowl is still not dripping soup.
Xiaoguo said with a smile: "Gui Director, what do you think it tastes like, can you add it to the drinks of the Hundred Flowers Club." ”
Gui Imperial Kitchen has been completely subdued, and he said sincerely and excitedly: "The Queen Mother is talented, and Weichen admires it!" As soon as this soup comes out, it will definitely shock the entire Hong Yan Kingdom, oh no, it's the whole world! ”
Xiaoguo waved his hand embarrassedly: "It's serious!" It's serious! ”
Gui Yuchu said seriously: "Weichen is definitely not for flattery! The soup made by Niangniang has reached the level where you can apply for an exclusive food system. ”
Xiaoguo said strangely: "Apply for the food department? ”
Gui Yuchu nodded and said: "The highest restaurant in the world today is responsible for the creation and management of new cuisines, and they will also regularly rank the cuisines, and stipulate that between different cuisines, they cannot copy each other!" Like our Hong Yan country, it is mainly based on Qing cuisine, which ranks third in the world. ”
Xiaoguo doesn't care much about what cuisine, for her, there is no high or low line between food!
Seeing that she was not interested, Gui Imperial Chef said no more.
Xiaoguo discussed with Gui Imperial Chef for a while about the specific method and quantity, as well as the storage method.
Xiaoguo also taught the imperial chef and several kinds of canned fruits, and Xiaoguo's erudition and selflessness made him moved and admired.
Not long after Gui Yuchu left, Xiaobai and Empress Dowager De woke up one after another.
After drinking the last bite of fruit soup, the Empress Dowager De was heartbroken, and decided to dine in Cining Palace in the future: "Your Majesty, come, accompany the imperial grandmother to walk around the back garden, if you eat too much, it is easy to accumulate food if you are inactive, and you can't eat dinner!" ”
She pulled Xiaobai out, and suddenly turned back to Xiaoguo and smiled: "We'll be back before dinner!" ”
Xiaobai also smiled brightly at Xiaoguo: "Queen Mother, is it okay to eat braised prawns in oil for dinner?" ”
Xiao Guo looked at them and walked away with a smile, countless black lines appeared on his head, it seemed that there would be another eater in Cining Palace in the future.
Dingwangfu study.
Li Yi took down the note from the flying black eagle's leg, and after reading the content of the note, his brows tightened.
It said that there is indeed a miracle doctor who specializes in providing medicine to Guo Jing, and Mama Wang will regularly go to him to pick up medicine in recent years, and then transfer it to Mama Li.
A doctor in the rivers and lakes will have the ability to create a high-imitation "forget worries"? Is there such a coincidence in the world?
At this time, the door of the study was knocked rhythmically a few times, Li Yi opened the door, and a letter was placed at the door.
The letter said that Guo Jing's treatment went smoothly, and under the cover of Guo Xiaoyang, the treatment was carried out secretly without alarming anyone, and the murderer who tried to murder Guo's father and daughter last time did not appear again.
Li Yi looked at the sky that had gradually darkened, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching, as if he was hesitating about something.
Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, he took a deep breath and walked out of the study.
It was completely dark.
Li Yi hid among the branches in the courtyard of Funing Palace, and heard bursts of cheerful laughter in the inner hall.
The breeze blew, and an enticing fragrance wafted from the temple.
He heard Xiao Li Bai's exaggerated exclamation in the hall: "Queen Mother, what is the name of this dish?" Sweet and sour, delicious! ”
A pleasant female voice replied, "It's called cherry meat!" Feed! Xiaobai don't grab it with your hands, take the chopsticks clip! ”
After a while, Li Bai's muffled voice came again: "Queen Mother, can we eat this again tomorrow?" ”
"Look at your performance!"
"I promise to study hard and practice hard!"
"Xiaobai is so well-behaved, I'll make cherry meat for you tomorrow!"
"Okay yes ~ Imperial grandmother, try it too!"
"Good behave~"
It's the voice of the Queen Mother, and she's in there?!
"Try this crystal shrimp!"
"The Queen Mother also eats!"
……
Li Yi was so shocked that he almost fell from the tree, he had only heard that Xiao Li Bai was now using three meals here for the Queen Mother, when did even the Queen Mother join in? Aren't the two of them bitter rivals who never get along? When did the relationship become so harmonious?
He doesn't understand women, and he can't think of a reason why two people who are incompatible with water and fire become intimate in a short period of time!
He remembered that the emperor had also mentioned to him today that the emperor had studied very hard recently and made rapid progress, could this also be the credit of the queen mother?
He thought of the things that the people in the palace outside the hundred gardens were talking about, and the glimpse in the sea of flowers!
The dinner in the hall was dispersed, Xiaobai and the Empress Dowager also returned to their palaces one after another, and Cining Palace quieted down after some busyness.
From the bathroom window, there is a misty steam, mixed with the faint scent of flowers, and a few strange melodies.
Li Yi was motionless among the branches, he felt like he was fixed there!
Li Yi silently reminded himself in his heart, he raised his stiff arm and touched the light cloud gauze handkerchief in his arms, hoping that his eldest brother could give him some power to resist his sister-in-law's "demonic energy".
In my mind, the two of myself "quarreled" together!
One said: She is the eldest brother's imperial concubine, Li Bai's queen mother, and her sister-in-law! Li Yi, you shouldn't be here! Say anything in order to investigate the truth, admit it, you have another purpose! Stop it early, it's still too late!
The other retorted: What about her being the imperial sister-in-law, the eldest brother has no relationship with her, not to mention that the eldest brother has been gone for so long! Li Yi, go and pursue your own happiness, she is the only person who can make you upset!
Reason made him agree with the first voice without hesitation, as before!
