Another palace maid said: "The ancestral system in the palace says that only mutton is allowed to be cooked, because sheep eat grass, and they are clean and free of food, unlike other animals, who eat meat, grain, and feces......"

Another hurriedly intercepted her words with disgust: "Hey, hey, do you feel that Mr. Hao is not there, there is no score on his mouth, what is not, what is said in the imperial diet?" Don't want to be punched out of the board? ”

Immediately, the palace maid, who looked more qualified, said eloquently: "Pork, if it is done well, it is also delicious, and the price is cheap, otherwise why open the city, tens of thousands of pigs will come in every day." I heard that the official family and several emperors (princesses) of the previous dynasty sometimes let the chamberlains go to buy pork cookcakes on the royal street. ”

"Let me tell you this, I think about it, there are actually pork snacks and sugar crispy jasmine in the palace."

What, what jasmine?

As soon as Yao Huan heard this name, he came to his senses, and asked with a smile: "What an interesting name, is it to marinate pork with jasmine?" ”

No matter how deep the temple is, or how far away the rivers and lakes are, most people are proud to be asked for advice respectfully, and they are willing to be a master.

The old palace maid pointed to a celadon round belly jar under the window, and said to Yao Huan: "Did Mrs. Yao see it, it's lard." In fact, where is it taboo in the palace to fry pigs, frying and frying, in addition to vegetable oil, don't you have to rely on lard? Since lard can be used, what are the taboos about pork fat tablets. Mr. Hao had a lot of ideas, so he took the fat pork and cut it into thin slices, fried it in boiling oil and rolled it up, and sprinkled it with a layer of finely ground icing while it was hot, which was snow-white, not like jasmine petals. The ladies in the palace like it and eat it with tea. ”

Yao Huan listened to every word she said.

Don't look at Hao Sui as a villain in the historical records, but he does have a set of research and development food.

Not to mention the boiling water radish of "Jiang Qingyue's neighborhood", this iced fat slices also have the same end as some famous dishes in later generations.

For example, Cantonese cuisine has a unique way of dealing with fatty pork.

In Cantonese cuisine, there is a dish of "crispy flame pork", which is made of extremely fatty pork belly with skin, which goes through several processes of boiling, boiling, stewing and roasting to make the pork skin crispy and the fat meat not greasy. And when this dish is served, it is also the same as the sugar crisp jasmine invented by Hao Sui, which is dipped in white sugar.

Another example is Yunnan's flower ham mooncakes, which contain white sugar pig fat particles, which is also a guarantee of rich taste.

The fat part of the pig is actually a treasure, and there are many delicacies that can be made, especially with sugar or honey.

Moreover, since the ancients used it to pair with bitter tea, this sugar crispy jasmine can also be used as a coffee accompaniment!

Yao Huan was paddling a little bit, when he suddenly heard a noise at the door, and a respectful voice of "Mr. Hao" sounded in the courtyard for the first time.

Hao Sui stepped into the door, first applauded a little exaggeratedly, "Yo, it smells so fragrant", and then smiled at Yao Huan and said: "Lady Yao, thank you, this afternoon, I have to go to Liu Jieyu's palace and teach her people in the small kitchen." ”

At the banquet held by Zhao Ji that day, Concubine Zhu was about to act as an advocate of thrift in front of the Queen Mother, and she mentioned that she wanted Yao Huan to go around Liu Jieyu's palace after entering the palace, so Yao Huan was also a little mentally prepared.

Jieyu, in the ninth-class grade of a titled woman in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty, is ranked below the queen, concubine, and concubine, and is the third grade.

Liu is only seventeen years old this year, and he already has such a grade, which can be seen in the honor and favor he enjoys.

Because she had already given birth to an emperor, and now she is pregnant again, Liu Jieyu moved from the side hall to the main hall like Yuxiu Palace.

At the beginning of Shen, when Hao Sui led Yao Huan into Yuxiu Palace, the courtyard was so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling.

The palace maid, who hurriedly greeted her, waved her hand at the two nervously.

Hao Sui ran and said to Yao Huan in a low voice: "Jieyu is resting, waiting for silence." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Huangmen, who had gone to the imperial dining house the day before yesterday to inquire about the recipe for radish soup, tiptoeing a wicker basket and turning out of the back of the palace.

When Xiao Huangmen approached, Yao Huan glanced at the contents of the basket and almost screamed.

It's far more creepy than seeing the eyes of a sheep full of pots!

A pile of dead cats, barely a few of which could see black and white flowers, yellow and white flowers, most of which were blurred with flesh and blood.

Hao Sui couldn't help frowning, and asked softly, "Where are so many dead cats?" ”

Xiao Huangmen pointed in the direction of the main hall: "It's autumn, and the cats are making a lot of trouble." These brutes, where to mess around, have to be in Jieyu's dormitory, Jieyu did not sleep well, angry, sent me to Funing Hall early in the morning, asked the official family to enter the courtyard of the personal follower, to toss for most of the day, and finally shot the cats that can be seen in the main hall and the surrounding halls. ”

Hao Sui let out an "oh", and his face showed ruthlessness: "Good death!" Dead pure. ”

He looked up at the eaves again, and said strangely: "Yo, why is there still one hanging on the beam?" ”

Xiao Huangmen nodded: "Yes, that's the biggest flower skin tabby, Jieyu said, hang under the eaves for three days, and no cat will dare to come." ”

Hao Sui sneered: "Jieyu is a good way, this is how to treat beasts." ”

Yao Huan on the side moved his gaze away and cast his gaze on the heavy palace pavilion in the other direction, followed by the blue sky and flowing clouds above.

The dead cat in the basket frightened her, but the dead cat hanging under the porch reminded her of karma.

According to historical records, a few years later, the final destination of the Liu family, who was the empress dowager in the Huizong Dynasty, was to hang herself......

Abuse of people and cats, there will be retribution.

Yao Huan stood silently with his sleeves down, and said in his heart, hurry up and finish this errand, I want to go home.

The faint scent of the baby on the gown made her feel better.

These incense pills of the Song people are indeed cows, how many days have they been, and they can still smell it.

Last night, after Zhang Shangyi chatted with her for a few more words, she praised: "The incense on Yao Niangzi's clothes must be from the best prescription." ”

……

Yao Huan didn't see Liu Jieyu right away.

This night, she was arranged to live in the small kitchen of Yuxiu Palace.

The housekeeper in charge of the kitchen stove is in her twenties, and she is wearing a brocade shirt, she looks very senior, and she also sleeps with her.

The palace maid in charge spoke politely: "Mrs. Yao, Jieyu's body is really not good today, she has been lying down, so I won't take you to see you." Tomorrow is a holiday, there is no Chang Dynasty, and the official family will come to Yuxiu Palace to accompany Jieyu for breakfast. We are going to start preparing at the beginning of Yin, and Yao Niangzi is going to cook chicken feet again, so why don't you just rest in the stove? ”

Yao Huan smiled and groaned: "Naturally, it's cheaper, and the stove is warmer, so it's just a nuisance to the lady." ”

She really doesn't care.

In modern society thousands of years later, the nanny room at the home of the rich is also arranged next to the kitchen, so that the nanny can take care of the laundry and cooking.

In this Tianzi family, you are a live-in nanny, and I, Yao Huan, am a temporary worker, you are all used to it, what do I have to put on a score.

It's just that if you live in the stove, don't have rats - good cats are all genocide during the day.

This Liu Jieyu, with a baby in her belly, is so cruel to the cat, and she is not afraid of being unlucky. Sure enough, it's a ruthless character.
