Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet.

Early in the morning, the Shen Mansion was full of people coming and going, and it was quite lively. There were constantly horse-drawn carriages parking, and more than a dozen carriages were already parked at the gate of the palace.

The nearby eunuchs all came to the door one after another to congratulate Mrs. Shen on her birthday.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Shen has never been good at yellow and white things.

In addition to going out for important entertainment, Mrs. Shen was covered in gold, not to mention gold, not even jade, and she was always sent away with an ordinary wooden hairpin.

The congratulatory gifts given to Mrs. Shen must not be precious, but are carefully selected by everyone, and each gift is exquisite and special.

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen were busy greeting guests in the front hall early in the morning.

Mrs. Shen wore a purple cotton placket and sat in the hall to receive the guests who came one after another.

The porter came to report, and Sang Yang, the major general of the Zhenxi Palace, came.

The beautiful young man in the blue shirt and jade crown entered the hall with a smile on his eyebrows, "Ziyu has seen Mrs. Tai!" ”

Mrs. Shen had heard of Sang Yang from her grandson's mouth, and she beckoned Sang Yang to get up with a smile.

"Mrs. Tai, this is the ginseng skin care prescription that Ziyu prepared for you, and it is a prescription for Imperial Doctor Qiu in the palace to prescribe it especially for your skin type."

This gift is not heavy, the Qiu family is a medical family, there are many ancestral beauty secrets, for skin care and beauty is quite good, the beauty prescription of the ladies in the palace is from the Qiu family, the Qiu family's beauty prescription is a treasure that is hard to find.

"Thank you! The major general has a heart! "Sang Yang's gift is very much in line with Mrs. Shen's heart.

Sang Yang respectfully handed over the brocade box, which contained a century-old ginseng plant and all kinds of precious medicinal materials, as well as a prescription on a silk handkerchief and a glass bottle with exquisite workmanship.

Just process the herbs according to the recipe, and then mix them into the yellow wax of the glass bottle and stir.

This recipe is not of much use to ordinary people, but for Mrs. Shen, this recipe is a coincidence.

Mrs. Shen has two major preferences in her life,

Eating – a penchant for eating;

Stinky beauty - love skin care and beauty.

Sang Yang obviously voted for Mrs. Shen's favor.

Coupled with Sang Yang's appearance, he immediately won the love of Mrs. Shen.

When he met people, he praised the major general Sang Yang as a kind and laughing teenager.

Cordial? Love to laugh?

Are you talking about their masters?

Sixi and Shi Zhao complained silently.

The gift prepared by the British Duchess to Mrs. Shen was the clothes made by herself.

Mrs. Shen has always been plain and elegant, and the British duchess used the muslin cloth of the tribute, and made four pieces of clothing.

Although the garment is made of cotton, the underwear and outer garments are quite delicately made, and the neckline, cuffs, etc., are made of cotton threads of the same color, and fine epiphyllum embroidery.

The color of the coat is Mrs. Shen's favorite burgundy color.

The underwear is all white, and everything from embroidery to workmanship is very careful.

And Qi Luo's congratulatory gift to his grandmother also took a lot of thought.

A month ago, Qi Luo made someone customize a camellia two-color tripod.

What is Camellia Bicolor Ding? This is a charcoal-burning mandarin duck pot specially set by Qi Luo for Mrs. Shen.

The style is slightly different from the modern charcoal mandarin duck pot, and the charcoal fire of the modern charcoal mandarin duck pot is put into the top part, so it is easy to fall charcoal and charcoal ash into the pot.

Qi Luo asked people to customize this camellia two-color tripod, the bottom is made of double layers, the upper layer is used to put charcoal, and the bottom is connected with charcoal ash.

The flue is deliberately curved to make it more beautiful and narrow.

There is also a blooming camellia above the flue, and the smoke of the charcoal stove rises from under the flowers.

This is also the origin of the name of the camellia bicolor tripod.

In addition to the two-color tripod, Qi Luo also ordered a soft cushion on the wooden couch where his grandmother often sits.

The cushion is filled with cotton, and the top layer is made of mugwort as a thin cushion.

Sitting on the couch all year round, wearing this mugwort cushion is very good for the body.

At the back of the couch there is a round pillow, which is filled with mugwort.

Mrs. Shen is prone to back pain on rainy days. There is an opening in the middle of the round pillow.

The mouth can be filled with a copper moxibustion box, and the lit moxa sticks can be placed in the box, which is quite effective when the back hurts in the rainy season.

The gifts given by the guests were all good things, and Mrs. Shen was very satisfied.

Today is Mrs. Shen's 50th birthday, and the Shen Mansion has prepared a whole day of banquets, and there are many programs after lunch.

At this time, it was already noon, Mrs. Shen smiled happily, led a group of guests, and began the feast.

There were dozens of tables at the banquet, and the meals at each table were the same.

Only Mrs. Shen had a camellia two-color tripod on the table, and the bottom of the pot was also carefully boiled by Qiu Yue since last night.

The soup pot is made of pork bones and an old hen on one side, and the snow-white broth that has been stewed for a full night. A variety of mushrooms such as morels, matsutake mushrooms, and dried beef mushrooms are placed inside, and the surface is sprinkled with green green onions.

On the side of the spicy soup pot, this old soup is also used. However, there is a stir-fried fragrant red pepper base in it.

One red and one white, arousing people's appetite. Lamb slices, beef slices and pork belly are also served as thin as cicada wings.

Served with shredded tripe, meatballs, bean curd and a variety of vegetables. A large table was set up full.

Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up immediately. Most of the ingredients in it are Mrs. Shen's daily favorite food.

But I've never seen such a fresh way to eat it.

Qi Luo stepped forward and put the thin slices of meat into the water and gently rolled them. The meat slices curled up, and they were cooked immediately, and then they took out the meat slices and dipped them in the pre-prepared sauce, and handed them over, "Grandmother, this is the camellia two-color tripod that Luo'er specially ordered for you, can you taste it?" ”

It smells so good! Mrs. Shen was already spicy, and she didn't care about burning her mouth, so she ate it, and it was really delicious!

Qiu Ye is very good at cooking, Qi Luo's cooking skills are mediocre, every time she gives Qiu Yue some ideas, Qiu Yue can often improve them, and the ingredients she makes are always amazing.

There are people like you! The dissatisfaction of the guests was written on their faces.

…………………………

Inevitably aroused public indignation, a group of maids stepped forward one after another, packed the dishes with small plates, and shared some food for the other tables.

Unexpectedly, at my grandmother's birthday banquet, I received dozens of orders for camellia bicolor tripods.

It seems that there is a rich man's business.

It's really easy to do!

Yuexinju successfully traded the first order.

Sang Yang was fortunate to sit at the same table with Qi and sit on the main seat.

And Shi Zhao and Sixi, who were standing at the back, could only look at Qiuyue with blank eyes.

There will be meat to eat with this girl, right?!

Qiu Yue rolled her eyes!

Beautiful guys!
