Chapter 157: Entering the Palace
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Zuo Xiangling thought about making it as soon as possible, and made the things before it was completely dark, so that Adil could send them to the palace.
This Sichuan shellfish stew is actually a Sichuan shellfish stewed pear, the pear is cut in half, the kernel is removed and cut into thin slices, the thinner the better.
"Here you go."
Seeing Adil guarding his side, almost not leaving, Zuo Xiangling smiled and handed him a piece of Sydney.
Adil took it, smiled stupidly, and gently took a small piece in his mouth, as if he was not eating a pear but Taishang Laojun's elixir, Zuo Xiangling couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, isn't it just a pear, as for this.
Grind the shellfish into a minced shape and set aside, put cold water in the pot, then put the pear in, and boil the water over high heat.
In order not to let Adil delay himself, he handed over the matter of lighting the fire to him, looking at the sworn appearance, Zuo Xiangling was really worried about whether she would poke the pot with a stick, fortunately, her worries were superfluous, don't look at Adil looking stupid, do things, not sloppy at all.
When the water is boiled to seven or eight percent hot, put in the rock sugar and Chuanbei, after boiling for a while, stir the rock sugar and Chuanbei to fully dissolve it, and then adjust it to low heat and slowly boil, wait for the pear to become soft and the color of the pear water deepens after turning off the fire, cover the lid and simmer for a while.
The remaining pieces of pears are just used to make loquat and pear juice, but Zuo Xiangling is worried when she looks at a bunch of loquat and pear, there is no juicer or anything here, and this juice seems to be manual.
However, this fruit has just been taken out of the ice cellar, and it has melted slightly, so it should be okay to pinch it by hand.
Putting the loquat pears into gauze separately, Zuo Xiangling washed his hands and began to pinch them.
"What are you doing here?"
Adil saw Zuo Xiangling playing with the things in his hand, and he didn't make a fire, so he ran to see what Zuo Xiangling was doing, fortunately, there was still a hero, and when he saw that Adil was not in front of the stove, he took Adil's place, after all, if something happened, did he take care of Adil's responsibility.
"Juicing, are you coming?"
Zuo Xiangling raised her head and asked, seeing Adil nodding, she nodded to the other side of Sydney loaded with gauze, signaling that Adil could play with that.
Who would have thought that Zuo Xiangling lowered his head and pinched out a little loquat juice, and was worried that the juice was not enough to come out, when he saw that Adil had already squeezed a big bowl over there.
Raising her eyebrows, Zuo Xiangling handed over the task of squeezing loquat juice to Adil, and after looking at it for a while, she realized that Adil was a martial artist, although it may not be said to be very powerful, but it was better than her, Zuo Xiangling deeply felt that she was a waste again.
Mix the two juices, add honey to mix, Zuo Xiangling tasted it with a spoon, the taste is not bad, but it is too watery, there is no feeling of fiber, it seems that the taste is not so good, so a little bit of loquat crushed is added, which just makes up for the lack of loquat juice.
The next one is grapefruit walnut broth, I don't know and think it's yuzu walnuts and meat cooked together, but in fact, this meat refers to walnut meat, and this grapefruit is not meat but grapefruit core, and the soup is actually a tea on the surface.
Grapefruit and walnut broth, clear heat and moisten the lungs and dissolve phlegm, winter melon diuretic, reduce swelling and detoxification, clear away heat and annoyance, relieve cough and asthma, and quench thirst. Grapefruit kernel has an endocrine regulating effect. Hetao warms the lungs and kidneys, benefits the life, and its meat nourishes and strengthens the lungs, moistens the lungs, moistens dryness and dissolves phlegm.
The method is, take the skin of the winter melon and wash it, add the grapefruit core and peach flesh to mash, boil 10 bowls of water, remove the slag instead of tea, and drink it for several days. Among them, the grapefruit kernel has the effect of treating hair loss and yellowing.
This can be drunk for many days, Zuo Xiangling will not do it every day, presumably after the Hun King drinks well, he will let people come to get the recipe, so he did not add the power of prayer to this soup.
Finally, there is a cold cabbage and carrot shreds, this one is much simpler, wash the cabbage and cut it into shreds; Peel and shred the carrots; Tear the white fungus into slices, add salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, and vinegar and mix well.
A soup, a dish, a juice, and a tea, it looks a bit simple, but Adil also said that the Hun King has a bad appetite now, and it is better to make less, at least it is rare and expensive, maybe such a small amount can arouse the appetite more.
"I'm done, you can send it."
Putting the things into the food box, Zuo Xiangling handed the food box to Adil, but Adil didn't answer, and Zuo Xiangling wanted to hand it to Yingman instead.
Just as Yingman was about to take it, Adil spoke.
"No, you have to send it with me, what if my father can't answer my father's test for me, he will definitely talk about me again."
Adil pouted resentfully, with a pitiful appearance, Zuo Xiangling saw that Yingman also withdrew his hand, so he could only sigh and say.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
It's snowing now, and she really doesn't want to be Adil's flying carriage, and when the time comes, she won't be able to find out until she loses her life.
At this point, Zuo Xiangling could only bite the bullet, but the result was unexpected, Adil actually changed to a box carriage, which was the same as the carriage in the Central Plains, but this one was still a round golden roof, which was quite interesting and exotic.
Looking at the carriage, Zuo Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in the carriage with a lot of peace of mind.
The snow is different, there are no people on the street, the ground is paved with a layer of snow white, and the carriage walks slowly and leisurely, all the sounds are quiet, which makes people very calm.
It took a while to get to the palace this time, and if she hadn't been worried that the soup was cold, she asked the coachman to speed up, and she didn't know when Ma Yue would arrive.
This time she wanted to enter without anyone to stop her, although the palace was simple compared to that of Chu State, she knew that this was already the best place here.
After following Adil around for a while, the two stopped in a large hall, and Adil appeared and immediately someone went in to report, and after a while, someone brought them in.
Zuo Xiangling entered the hall to know that this is the dormitory of the king of the Huns, the windows in the hall are closed, exuding a strong smell of medicine, and there are only a few sporadic candles, with an indescribable depression and loneliness.
Zuo Xiangling felt that if she lived in such a place, she would have to hold back her illness if she didn't get sick, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to this Hun king.
"Adil to see his father."
Seeing that Adil had already leaned over to salute, Zuo Xiangling subconsciously followed suit.
"Ahem, it's Adil here, excuse me, why did you come to me so late?"
Under the golden veil came an old and weak voice, Zuo Xiangling secretly estimated the age of this Hun king, how could he be sixty or seventy, but this Adil looked like he was only in his early two, and he was still the second prince.
They got married early here and gave birth to children early, they really shouldn't have children at such an age, but there is one thing that makes sense, that is, the Hun king has been sick for a long time, and he dragged his body like this, and he is also a poor person.
