Chapter 92: Delicious but Dumplings

As soon as Yaojia heard Zhang Xiao's voice, she hurriedly turned back to the queen and said, "Queen, the crown prince's sacrifice is back!" ”

Zhang Xiao came in and bowed to the queen and said, "The son visits the queen mother!" Immediately after, King Zhao came in, and Yaojia approached and took off King Zhao's dress!

At this time, King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But I'm tired of being widowed!" The queen came over at this time, hurriedly pulled King Zhao to sit down, and asked with concern, "Is the suburban festival still smooth?" ”

After hearing this, King Zhao waved his hand again and again, as if he didn't want to mention this matter more. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he just sighed and took the hot tea brought by Yaojia and drank it in one gulp! Looking at the various delicacies on the table not far away, King Zhao asked with concern, "The queen has no taste?" ”

When the queen heard King Zhao's concerned question, she just chuckled and said, "During the winter solstice festival, there is no appetite, and it is not the fault of the back kitchen!" "The queen is kind-hearted, for fear that she will be punished for unprovoked punishment by her words!

Zhang Xiao heard that the queen said that she had no appetite on the day of the winter solstice, so she thought of eating dumplings on the winter solstice that was a household name in later generations, and she had anti-freezing ears for a year! It is said that the custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice was pioneered by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to treat frostbite patients!

At this time, the queen touched Zhang Xiao's hand and asked with concern: "Wang'er, are you freezing yourself?" After hearing this, Zhang Xiao shook her head and said with a smile: "The queen mother has no worries, when she first came in, I heard the queen mother say that she has no appetite, and today the child has learned some skills from the housekeeper, which will make the queen mother appetizing!" ”

After hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "The craftsmanship of your housekeepers can surpass the craftsmanship of the Shangshi Bureau!" ”

Shang Shi Bureau is the imperial dining room of the palace of Zhao State, attracting people with superb cooking skills from all over the world! Zhang Xiao chuckled and asked, "Has the queen mother ever heard of dumplings?" ”

As soon as King Zhao heard that the prince was going to cook by himself, he was angry, and slapped the table and said, "You don't know what a gentleman does?" King Zhao's reprimand, Zhang Xiao immediately knelt down and said: "Father, the son is thinking of this decision because of the loss of appetite of the queen mother!" ”

When these words came out, Zhao Wang Si said: "You retreat!" ”

After Zhang Xiao heard this, she waved her hand at Yaojia with small movements and asked her to go out with her! The queen looked at Zhang Xiao's small movements, smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Yaojia, you step back first and follow the crown prince ......"

King Zhao on the side saw the prince retreat, only then did he hurriedly wave the palm of the table, as if it was winter, the palm was also shaken and painful, the queen looked at King Zhao boasting about his palm, as if a charming smile.

Zhang Xiao and Yaojia went to the Shangshi Bureau in parallel, a familiar location, Yaojia looked at the place not far away and thought of the last time the prince and her had dinner together in the Shangshi Bureau, and for a while remembered the beautiful scene at that time, her face was a little hot, Zhang Xiaosa looked at this place, and she rolled up her sleeves to do a big job!

Yaojia didn't know what she meant when she saw this, she just thought that the prince was just pleasing the queen, and coming to the back kitchen was just a formality, how could she think that the prince really wanted to do it alone! Yaojia leaned close and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you really want to do what you say?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiao corrected: "That's dumplings!" Yaojia nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's dumplings!" ”

There is such a living treasure beside him, and Zhang Xiao is also drunk. He asked directly: "Are you familiar with the materials here?" After hearing this, Yaojia shook her head as if rolling with the waves, and her mouth was still vibrating: "Yaojia is a female official, and she has no right to ask about the affairs of the Shangshi Bureau!" ”

When Zhang Xiao heard Yaojia's answer, she was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, so Zhang Xiao put one hand on her shoulder, pulled her and asked, "What I mean is so incomprehensible to you?" ”

Yaojia and Zhang Xiao looked at each other, then lowered their heads, pulled the corner of their clothes in their hands and said, "Do you understand or don't understand?" ”

Forget it, this little woman is not enough to be with her, so Zhang Xiao knocked her on the head and said, "You go and invite the steward of the Shangshi Bureau to me!" Yaojia still touched her head aggrievedly, and walked out step by step, every time the prince met her, he inevitably gave her a few ......

Zhuo Qianya was in the boudoir, and suddenly her mouth was unbearable, so she ordered: "Youyou, bring me tea!" After a while, one person brought her tea, and she didn't raise her head and said, "Yoyo, you go ......."

Ziqin, who was serving the tea, immediately said: "Miss, Miss Youyou has gone to Daijun with General Lecheng yesterday!" Zhuo Qianya remembered this and smiled lightly......

Yaojia and Du Chun, the steward of the Shangshi Bureau, stood beside the prince, and Du Chun looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Prince, I haven't heard of how to do this dumpling?" Zhang Xiao looked at Yaojia with her eyebrows upturned, and Yaojia looked directly at the wall sideways, not daring to look at each other!

Zhang Xiao just smiled and said to Du Chun: "That's simple, just ...... like this" Zhang Xiao pulled Du Chun and said in his ear. Yaojia's ears pricked up, as if she wanted to listen to this shocking secret!

In fact, the practice of dumplings is extremely simple, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the appearance of stone grinding has provided a prerequisite for the emergence of flour, and Zhang Xiao said in Du Chun's ear, that is, let him find materials for himself!

Yaojia watched Du Chun walk out of here, and hurriedly went to Zhang Xiao's side and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you letting him do?" ”

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Your Highness doesn't raise useless people here!" After saying this, Zhang Xiao saw Yaojia pointing at herself, and Zhang Xiao asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

Yao Jia said: "If you don't say it, what should I do!" ”

I'll go, faint! Zhang Xiao sighed secretly, this brain is a good thing, I don't know if this Yaojia has brought it! Zhang Xiao is looking for condiments for dumplings in this room!

Legend has it that after Shennong tasted the herbs and found the green onions, it was used as a condiment for daily meals, and all kinds of dishes must be mixed with chives, and another condiment, ginger, is in the "Book of Rites" there is a sentence of "hawthorn pear ginger cinnamon", and Confucius's "Analects" also has "every wood to withdraw ginger"! Therefore, Zhang Xiao is determined to make dumplings!

Just as Zhang Xiao was searching, Du Chun was going and returning, and Zhang Xiao asked, "Are things ready?" ”

Who knew that Du Chun scratched his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you talking about radishes?" I came here to ask for help! Hearing Du Chun ask like this, Zhang Xiao suddenly thought that Du Chun would never be able to find his words in the future!

The Chinese monograph "Erya", which explains the meaning of the word 2,000 years ago, calls radish as reed, and also mentions that it has the medicinal value of "eliminating grain, removing phlegm, and fattening people".

Zhang Xiao was thinking about how to explain it, when he saw that Yaojia was green and white, slender and well-proportioned, wasn't it a radish? Zhang Xiao waved his hand, motioned for Yaojia to step back, pointed at the pair of Du Chun and said, "Isn't that?" ”
