In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and it is about to reach the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the past ten days, the fourth elder brother has not had an easy time at all, and he is even more tired than the first and second days of the Lunar New Year.

Since the eleventh year of Kangxi, every year in the first month, Kangxi has to hold a banquet in the Forbidden City to entertain the ministers of the Three Banners and foreign vassals. let

In particular, when the banquet was given to the foreign domain, the envoys of the vassal state and the princes would participate, and the banquet of this scale was often held for a day.

For example, early in the morning, the head of ceremonies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange the ceremonies and feasts, as well as the throne used by Kangxi, as well as the seats of the internal and external princes, Baylor and ministers who enter the palace.

When everything is arranged, the guests can be seated, and then the ministers and princes will give tea and toast to the emperor.

The fourth elder brother was dealing with these scenes outside, and Ning Ying was not idle in the backyard.

Or to put it another way – her food-loving heart simply doesn't sit idle.

On this day, Su Peisheng came over early in the morning to inform him, saying that the fourth elder brother finally had time in the evening, and if he could come back earlier, he would come to Ning Ying.

After Ning Ying happily watched Su Peisheng leave, she began to think about making radish shredded cakes and fried radish balls.

In the palace for a while, since there are so many banquets, the fourth elder brother must be tired of eating big fish, big meat and delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Then make a light porridge and side dish in the evening, and then order cakes or something, with a variety of delicious sauces, homely and warm.

Okay very!

These two dishes are very down-to-earth, the main ingredient is radish in addition to flour, and the reason why radish is used is because Ning Ying gradually discovered that the fourth elder brother especially likes to eat radish.

Although these four gourds don't talk about it, as the two of them eat together more and more times, Ning Ying gradually discovers that as long as there are radishes in the dish, the fourth elder brother will always move more chopsticks, and pick up the chopsticks where there are radishes.

Isn't that what is like?

So she's going to make these two for the four turnips today...... Ahh Four gourds to eat.

Ting'er took Xiao Haizi and Xiao Feizi to the dining room to get the ingredients.

At this time, not every season has turnips, but in order to ensure that the royal family can eat them, the palace often buys many radishes and stores them in the cellar.

There are also radishes from the Internal Affairs Office.

Lux hadn't seen Ting'er for a long time, and his eyes lit up when he saw her, and then he gradually realized that Ting'er seemed to have grown taller, and the flesh on a baby's face was a little less than before, and her eyes were brighter.

He could barely take his eyes off it, and the fingers in his sleeves clenched tightly.

Since Ning Ying was favored, the minions in her yard were full of smiling faces everywhere, and Ting'er had long been accustomed to the wrestlers taking care of herself, so she only thought that this little brother saw that she was a slave of Gege, so she gave her extra face.

She ran over and said to Lux very seriously: "We don't want anything else today, we just want radish, we want a good radish, the kind with enough water, and it will be crunchy and sweet when you bite into it!" ”

She has always been so cool and lovely when she spoke, Lux smiled when she heard it, clapped her hands, and said: "What a coincidence, there have been a lot of good white radishes in the past two days, you come with me." ”

When the two of them arrived at the warehouse, Ting'er saw a row of baskets lined up against the wall, not to mention how fresh the radishes were inside, and they were still muddy.

The little eunuch next to him saw Ting'er coming over, knowing that it was the maidservant girl in the courtyard of Ninggege, and seeing that it was Brother Lux coming, he hurriedly stepped forward flatteringly, wanting to choose for her, but was stopped by Lux reaching out.

Lux carried a basket with his own hands, and helped Ting'er load all the radishes.

After the seven-seven-eighty-eight was full, Lux came out with the basket, and he didn't let Ting'er do it, and handed it over to Xiao Haizi directly.

Coupled with other meals, Ting'er took Xiao Haizi and Xiao Feizi and returned with a full load.

Back in the small courtyard, Ning Ying was already waiting.

She's getting better equipped now - in addition to the apron and hat that she needs to cook, she also has Qingyang make embroidered sleeve covers, which are attached to the back of her hands to ensure that she will not be burned by the hot oil fried in the pan.

The radish balls are crispy and crispy, and they are not so greasy compared to the whole meatballs, and although they are vegetarian meatballs, they are fried and the layers will be more wonderful after the mouth.

Ting'er was in the stove room, helping to wash the white radish, removing the head and tail, and handing it to Ning Ying.

Ning Ying seriously used extremely fine knife skills to cut the white radish into shreds, then add salt, marinate the water of the radish, and then add green onions.

Squeezed out of the radish, with eggs, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and a small amount of corn oil – this is to make the taste lighter and not hide the fragrance of the radish.

After Ning Ying stirred all the filling, she poured in some of the steamed bread crumbs that had already been prepared long ago, which was used instead of breadcrumbs.

Then add flour and soybean flour, stir well again, and wait until the radish ball does not spread out, you can use your hands to form a small ball directly.

The steps of making dumplings are not difficult, and Ting'er is helping to do it on the side.

Ning Ying taught her how to use the tiger's mouth dough to make small balls with uniform specifications.

Ting'er quickly became familiar with the tricks, and the balls she made were all delicate and cute, neatly placed on the board.

Then Ning Ying put hot oil.

If the heat is too large, the skin may have been fried, but the inner core is still raw.

After carefully frying them one by one, Ning Ying took out the lovely radish balls, put them on a plate and drained the oil, only to see that the skin was golden and crispy, I don't know why, almost had the fragrance of fried chicken.

Roll a layer of red sweet and spicy sauce and skewer it with a bamboo skewer to make the radish balls complete.

This is not officially done, after all, these radish balls are delicious only when they are just out of the pot, and the fourth elder brother has not yet come.

As usual, Ning Ying took the plate to the long table and sat down, and Xiao Wonton and Ting'er gathered at the same time.

The little wonton lifted his left hind leg with difficulty and showed it to Ning Ying.

Ning Ying felt distressed when she saw it, reached out and picked up the little wonton, scooped it behind her stool, and gave it a radish ball.

Then she turned her head and gave Ting'er a string as well.

As for the other dish of shredded radish, it's even simpler.

The shredded radish used to fry the radish balls just now is still cut on the cutting board.

Ning Ying directly dialed into another large bowl, added eggs, green onions, shrimp skin, pepper, flour, stirred well, adjusted into a paste, and then directly put it in the oil pan, slowly fry it little by little, and fry it until golden brown on both sides.

Fortunately, she tried it - this time there was too much pepper, and Ting'er had always been very confident in Gege's craftsmanship, so she was in charge of tasting it next to her, swallowed it in a big gulp, and when she reacted, she was already in spicy tears.
