There was a warm and festive atmosphere in the city, as if celebrating the celebration of some major festival, and the welcoming crowd followed the ranks of the general of Zhenbei and cheered, and along the way, there were people who threw flowers in their hands into the procession, and they sang and danced all the way to the main gate of Sikong Mansion.

Sikong Yue looked back and hugged the crowd, and said loudly, "Thank you folks, Sikong Yue is here to thank you" and then walked into Sikong Mansion in a cheer, Sikong Mansion Governor announced that the restaurants and teahouses owned by Sikong Mansion were open to the city for free for three days to celebrate the return of the fourth lady, and as soon as the news came out, a new round of cheers exploded in the crowd.

Although Hua Mian, who was busy in the small kitchen, also wanted to see the excitement, everyone in the whole house was busy today, and even Sister Liu was called to help with the banquet.

Although he was busy, he also entrusted the fourth lady with the blessing of going home, and the funds for the purchasing office and the canteens were quite generous, and the shops outside also purchased a large number of rare goods after learning the news of the triumph of General Zhenbei.

Everyone is very busy today, there must be no time to eat, Hua Mian thinks about what to do to make everyone eat quickly to replenish physical strength even if it is cold and still delicious food, looked at the ingredients sent today, there are a lot of good beef, the fat division is evenly like falling snowflakes, originally yesterday I planned to make potato beef stew today, but looking at the current situation, it is expected that no one will have time to make it down and eat stew slowly, since there are enough potatoes and meat, it is also a good choice to make potato croquettes.

First wash a large number of bamboo leaves and put them aside to dry for later use, scrape the skin of the potatoes and pour them into the cauldron to start steaming, the remaining few cakes from yesterday are pasted on the outside of the stove to remove the water, and the other side is cut into dices and put the beef into a wooden basin, pour in the diluted sauce and then sprinkle a small half bowl of sugar water for pickling, take out the carrots and onions and cut them into cubes, think about it, always feel that there is something missing, go to the small courtyard behind to find a circle, bring a small basket of cucumbers in, cut into dices and carrots and put them in one place.

The cabbage leaves that have been scalded by boiling water gradually turn from white to green, put them on the side of the shelf, and the cakes baked on the outside of the stove have become crisp, take them down and spread them on the cutting board and crush them with a rolling pin until the cakes finally become powdery, and the egg whites and egg yolks are broken together.

Pour all the diced vegetables into the pot, pour oil and fry until half-cooked, pour in the beef, crush the steamed potatoes with a wooden spoon and pour it on the top layer of beef, add a little salt and pepper and stir well.

Pinch the mashed potatoes into a piece of small round cake and put it on the table to cool, wrap it with flour, egg liquid, and cake crumbs in turn, although the effect will be better with breadcrumbs, but at the moment it can only be replaced by cake crumbs, pour oil into the cauldron, put a little batter without a thermometer, judge the oil temperature with the batter forming, put the small round cake in the case that the forming belt will not change color immediately, flip and fry for about 2 minutes, take out and wrap a layer of vegetable leaves, and wrap the outermost side with bamboo leaves, so that you can eat directly even if you hold it in your hand.

A little later, the lively courtyard gradually quieted down, cleaned up the kitchen and did not return to the residence immediately, today there is a bag of red beans in the ingredients sent, and the red beans are boiled in a casserole before making dinner, even if only water and sugar are added, now it has exuded the unique sweet smell of red bean paste soup, rub out a small bowl of small glutinous rice dumplings, pour it into the boiling red bean paste soup and serve it for a moment.
