Chapter 18 Dipping Sauce
This time when I entered the inner palace, I didn't have such a big row of noodles as Aunt Su Jin to lead the way.
Han Chuan followed behind the girl, her head buried low, her hands raised the tray above her head, her eyes staring at the ground, watching the streams coming out of the inner temple and entering in turn... Well... Heels.
The palace people were in a hurry, and all of them walked with their forefeet on the ground and their heels on their backs.
He walks silently and looks light.
The sky went from being bright to seeing people's faces clearly, and Changle Palace turned off the lights in turn in a busy but quiet atmosphere.
It's finally time to pass the meal.
Han Chuan's arms were so stiff that he couldn't lift them, Su Jin personally came over to bring the muddy water bean curd cup, his eyes and body did not move, he only moved his mouth slightly, "Don't go yet, wait for the mother to finish the meal, and then see." ”
Han Chuan cast a grateful look.
The palace maids retired in turn, and stood in the cloister with their heads bowed, looking at their noses and noses, and looking at their hearts, quiet like a stone sculpture.
"Inside the dining room!"
The Hunan bamboo curtain hanging straight down from the side pavilion was lifted a small corner, and Su Jin sleeved his hands and spoke in the corridor, "Come here, Niangniang wants to see you." ”
Han Chuan hurriedly brushed the hair on the sideburns, buried his head and bent over the row of curtains, behind the curtain is a red oak screen of eight immortals crossing the sea, bypassing the screen, it is a small table set up in the side pavilion, Han Chuan buried his head and knelt on the ground, his voice was clear, "He Hanchuan, the seventh-grade female envoy of the dining room in the maid's house, greet the lady concubine, the lady concubine is blessed and happy!" ”
His forehead touched the cold bluestone bricks.
Han Chuan could only see the pair of crimson double butterfly tassel monofilament shoes on Concubine Shu's feet.
"Get up."
The voice was soft, soft as a feather floating in the air.
Han Chuan hung his head and got up, only to hear the voice laughing, he should be talking to Su Jin, "There is an old saying in the palace, the beauty is in the court - who would have thought that there would be such a standard girl in the inner dining room." ”
Han Chuan regretted a little that he didn't cut his bangs a little longer.
Su Jin's obedient voice responded, "The palace people in the inner palace have heavy rules, and the palace people in the court are not the same as the palace people in the inner palace, and they have a bit of a casual taste, so you can just look at it fresh." ”
Han Chuan listened as Su Jin turned around and spoke to her.
"The lady concubine is gentle and generous, and she doesn't like the palace people to be restrained and introverted in front of her - this cup of muddy water bean curd, but it comes from you?"
Su Jin was handing her ideas.
Han Chuan raised his chin slightly, his eyes could finally sweep a little Yang Shufei, Han Chuan couldn't help but be a little frightened...
In the Tang Dynasty, fat was the beauty... But now that more than 100 years have passed since the Tang Dynasty, the beauty of a woman's slender and graceful body is still ... Not to mention today's saints - there is one thing to say, saints may not be very affectionate to women, but the eyes of saints who pick women are really worthy of being recorded in history - in Han Chuan's limited memory, Queen Gong is beautiful and atmospheric, Qu Guifei is delicate and charming, and Shun Concubine is gentle and beautiful... Although they are different, they are all top beauties, and they also have common characteristics - a slender waist and long bones.
Today's Yang Shufei... It's really worthy of her surname.
Fortunately, her position is not a concubine.
If it is the position of a concubine, it is really a mirror of history and history - Yang Shufei is too round!
His face is like a silver platter, his waist is like a pillar of lacquer, and his whole body exudes the radiance of love and roundness.
How many months is Concubine Shu pregnant now?
Less than three months, right?
It stands to reason that it should be three months before she becomes pregnant!
Han Chuan absolutely didn't believe it, when the saint spoiled her, she was also like this!
Han Chuan had a play in his heart, his face was finally stable, Yu Guang glanced at the food on the table, and had a rough idea in his heart, "Aunt Sujin, the muddy water bean curd is made by a maid." ”
Concubine Shu smiled, her round fingers covering the veil, "Douhua'er is doing a good job." There is some unfinished meaning between the words, "I used beans from Dongshan in Chengdu, bean paste from Pixian, and Erjing strips in Shu." The bean curd is soft and sweet, the dipping sauce is spicy and fragrant, and there is also a taste of Houttuynia cordata that only Sichuan people and Yun nobles can eat, which is the taste of Hongu's hometown. ”
Han Chuan hurriedly thanked him and tried to flatten his voice, "Back to Niangniang, recently, Master Bai and the maid found that Changle Palace had less time to pick up food in the inner dining room, and even if they sometimes did pick up food, they would return it as it was." The inner dining room couldn't help but panic, whether it was something that didn't suit the mother's appetite, the maid pondered for a long time, and specially presented the muddy water bean curd from the mother's hometown. ”
Han Chuan's tone is very flat, but the words are clear, and there is a tone and frustration, which attracts people to listen.
Han Chuan's hands were tied around his waist, and his attitude was very respectful, "Douhua is warm, can mimic meat, and is easy to reduce, plus the sandwich gypsum water, it can clear heat and detoxify." The dipping sauce, as Niangniang said, is made with Sichuandi ingredients. The original soup is transformed into the original food, and the local taste is the most authentic with the local cuisine. What's more, spicy can be appetizing, sweaty and refreshing. Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, it is already hard, if this cup of mediocre bean curd, it can make Niangniang eat comfortably, and the inner dining room will not disgrace its mission, and it will be after death. ”
Concubine Shu smiled, "Master Bai taught well", and smiled again, "These days, the small kitchen is serving meals, and eating Master Bai's dishes will have fewer opportunities", with a wave of her hand, she instructed Su Jin, "Reward twenty ingots of silver!" ”
Han Chuan knelt down, raised his head, knocked his head on the bluestone slab again, and said in a deep voice, "Niangniang, listen to the maid's words and ask again." ”
Concubine Shu was slightly stunned and looked at Su Jin.
Su Jin looked back at Han Chuan, and then said to Concubine Shu respectfully, "Envoy He is a close disciple of Master Bai, and Master Bai has been serving the food and drink of Changle Palace for eight years, Niangniang might as well listen to what Envoy He has to say." ”
Su Jin "dong dong" in his heart and also beat the drum.
Last night, the little eunuch on duty brought her Bai Douguang's words, saying that his apprentice wanted to ask Concubine Shuniang for a big favor, but he would never embarrass Concubine Niangniang, and only asked her to say a few kind words on the side... As for what kind of help, the little eunuch said vaguely, Su Jin couldn't just forget it, so he went to the second gate to see Bai Douguang, Bai Douguang said that his apprentice wanted to ask Concubine Shu to help dredge a share out of the palace.
This help is not in vain, and it will definitely be able to solve Concubine Shu's recent difficulties.
When Su Jin heard this, his heart moved slightly.
If there is anything difficult in Changle Palace recently, the lady concubine "rubbing" the upward weight gain, it must be counted as one!
It's only been two months since she got on her body, and Concubine Shu's appetite is very good, and her face and body are much richer than before. It's not a big deal for a happy woman to grow some meat, but the palace is not as good as the people! If you are fat and ugly, it is tantamount to cutting off your own path! Not to mention that Concubine Shuniang has deliberately avoided her mouth and does not eat heavy oil and meaty things, but this body shape has still not recovered.
Tai Hospital is good at and thin mud, and after diagnosing the pulse for a long time, he only said, "Shufei Niangniang should pay attention to her diet, don't be greedy and greedy", but she will often be hungry, but she doesn't dare to eat more.
In terms of diet, it is all the same.
Isn't it okay, the cook can really solve this siege by mistake?
Su Jin complied with Bai Douguang's request.
Concubine Shu thought for a while, "um", gently raised her delicate chin, and motioned for Han Chuan to continue.
Han Chuan raised his head, still kneeling, and asked loudly, "Recently, Niangniang has a big appetite, always hungry, and always wants to eat?" ”
Concubine Shu didn't need to answer, she replied to Su Jin, "This is true, unlike the eighth prince, Niangniang's baby is not very happy, and she also loves to eat." ”
Han Chuan asked again, "The small kitchen of Changle Palace, but you often boil soup and soup to make up for your mother?" ”
Su Jin nodded again, "Three meals a day, four o'clock and five soups, are operated by two grandmothers in the small kitchen." ”
Han Chuan swallowed his mouth with difficulty, and a palm of sweat appeared in his hand, "After Niangniang drank the soup, did she have a better appetite?" And..."
Han Chuan took a deep breath, and what he was going to say later could be described as a big rebellion, that is, he put it in the market and said to the woman, and anyone who is spicy can scold you to death on the spot!
Han Chuan stabilized his mind, and finally spoke, "And, recently, Niangniang found that she was heavy and much more mellow than before?" ”
