019 zongzi
After Han Nie returned home tonight, he finally came to Caiwei Garden, Jiang Shenbi couldn't help tears when he saw Han Nie, his small eyes were red, Han Nie was distressed when he saw it, and he encircled him in his arms.
Han Nie had never stepped into Caiwei Garden for half a month, and now that he came, Jiang Shenbi complained a little.
Zijin also hurriedly ordered the people to bring the dishes they ate for dinner to the table next to each other.
Zijin is a very thin person with a poor appetite, so he picked up the toothbrush for dinner and ate a few bites casually, but he couldn't eat it.
Han Nie saw that she had eaten so little, and she was coaxed with kind words, so she ate a few more bites.
But Han Nie always felt that she ate so little, and it was not good to go on like this, so he asked: "You always eat so little, that is because the dishes made by the chef in the courtyard are not to the taste, then you tell me what you want to eat, and I will send someone to buy it for you tomorrow." ”
was asked by Han Nie, Jiang Shenbi remembered that he liked the refreshments made by the master of Tianxianglou, and Han Nie planned to hire the chef of Tianxianglou to the palace tomorrow.
On the side of the glazed pavilion, Liu Sisi had finished breakfast, and felt stuffy at night, so he took a bath early and went to the pavilion to blow the wind.
She leaned on the soft couch of Huanghuali, the green silk was like a waterfall, she slowly raised her eyes, looked at the full moon hanging high on the top, and felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Although it is hot now, you should not be greedy for cold, sleep in the gazebo, and when you get up tomorrow, you will definitely get cold and headache.
Lan Gu hurriedly woke up Liu Sisi and helped her back to sleep on the Luohan bed in the dormitory.
Seeing that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Liu Sisi got up early in the morning to dress up, and asked Aunt Bing, who was in charge of food procurement in the palace, to take a stroll through her own personal market.
Aunt Bing was also shocked, the dignified people in the palace actually wanted to go to the market, and she saw it for the first time.
The market in the capital is huge, and it is already crowded with people early in the morning, and there are countless shops selling all kinds of things on both sides of the streets.
And Liu Sisi came to buy vegetables this time, and he was able to walk around the streets where he was shopping, and he could hear the shouting of the vegetable sellers from afar.
Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the three of them didn't walk a few steps, and they saw an aunt buying leaves, Liu Sisi saw that the leaves in the basket were good, so he bought a few handfuls of leaves.
I went down and bought a few horseheads for tying, and put them in Aunt Bing's vegetable basket.
A big man selling sugar gourds shouted in front of their eyes, and Liu Sisi greedily bought two strings of rock sugar gourds, ate and walked with the red note, and went to the rice shop on another street.
The business of the rice shop is very good, there are many customers, and the owner of the rice shop saw that Aunt Bing was coming, so he hurriedly came to greet him.
It turned out that Aunt Bing was a regular customer of this rice shop, and all the rice in the palace was sold in this rice shop.
The fat boss smiled and said, "Aunt Bing, you are an old customer, what kind of rice do you need to add to the palace this time?" You just say, I have any varieties of rice in this rice shop, or I recommend it to you. ”
The sharp-eyed fat boss looked at Liu Sisi and asked Aunt Bing, "Aunt Bing, who is this girl?" ”
Aunt Bing said: "This is the Liu Ru in our palace. ”
The fat boss has never seen a woman who looks like a flower, and this time he has really grown his eyes, and he is afraid that there are few in the palace gate.
The fat boss was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Ruren, what kind of rice do you want to buy?" You just say hello. ”
Liu Sisi asked first: "Boss, what varieties of glutinous rice do you have here?" ”
The fat boss hurriedly led Liu Sisi to the glutinous rice stall, Liu Sisi raised his eyes and looked, there are indeed many varieties of this rice shop, indica glutinous rice, japonica glutinous rice, black glutinous rice, purple glutinous rice, ......, it is really dazzling.
Liu Sisi wants to wrap zongzi, so he has to buy the zongzi wrapped in japonica glutinous rice is the most delicious.
Now that he has bought the rice, the boss will send someone to send the glutinous rice to the palace. For the rest, there are only things to buy in the work shop.
After buying red dates, bean paste, duck eggs, and bacon at the grocery store, Liu Sisi will get into the carriage and bring the things back to the palace with him.
When Liu Sisi came back, the little guy sent by the fat boss of the rice shop had already sent the glutinous rice.
Before wrapping zongzi, you need to wash the glutinous rice and soak it for three hours, and Liu Sisi handed over the washing of rice and leaves to the two new maids in the kitchen to do.
In the kitchen, he cut diced bacon and mixed it with five-spice powder, and smashed the red dates into a puree with a mortar pestle.
After three hours, the glutinous rice was wrapped with soy sauce, and Liu Sisi prepared five flavors of zongzi, bean paste filling, egg yolk filling, bacon filling, and jujube paste filling.
Liu Sisi took two leaves at once, overlapped them in his hand, pinched the two ends of the leaves, circled them into a funnel-shaped, added glutinous rice and a spoonful of bean paste, folded the tail of the leaves, wrapped them with a horse hat, and wrapped the triangular bean paste dumplings.
And Sister-in-law Li, who helped make the zongzi, wrapped the bacon zongzi, but it was a four-cornered zongzi, which was different from Liu Sisi's appearance and wrapping method.
Liu Sisi is a southerner, and Aunt Li is a northerner, which leads to the difference in the two wrapping methods and shapes of zongzi.
After two hours, the two of them finished wrapping all the five flavors of zongzi.
Aunt Li asked the other two maids in the kitchen to pack them into the kitchen, filled the pot with water, and lit a fire to cook it for a night, and the zongzi were fully cooked.
Aunt Li also got up early the next day and went to the kitchen to check the situation of the zongzi, she lifted the lid of the pot, and the thick aroma of glutinous rice immediately came to her face.
She hurriedly put two large zongzi on the plate with a toothbrush, and when the breakfast was ready, she asked the maids to send it to Liuli Pavilion with them.
Liu Sisi was helped down by the red note and sat on the table, today's breakfast was prepared by Lan Gu, there are crab roe xiaolong, small dishes of pickled cucumbers, steamed dumplings with fresh meat, and three flavors of zongzi.
Lan Gu picked up a bowl of white porridge and brought it to Liu Sisi, took the zongzi again, peeled off the dark green leaves, and saw that the white rice dough seemed to be embedded with a few crimson and shiny agate, which was very attractive.
Lan Gu smiled and said: "This is your own zongzi, the taste must be good, you can try it." ”
Liu Sisi immediately took a bite with a toothbrush, and the entrance was soft and glutinous and sweet.
Lan Gu said: "By the way, my wife, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and His Royal Highness said that you should go to the big dining room in the house for lunch today." The maid heard that His Royal Highness thought it was not delicious because of the dishes made by the chef in the house, so he invited a new cook from outside to come back, and the cooking skills were too good to say, and you will be able to taste his cooking skills in a while. ”
If it is in the Guogong Mansion in Jinling, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to eating zongzi, the whole province will use realgar wine to drive poison. After lunch, she will definitely go out of the house to see the dragon boat crossing and feel the lively atmosphere of the festival.
And the capital is the land of heaven, but it is not lively.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Hongjian went to the dining room with Liu Sisi to eat.
Although Jiang Shenbi resented Liu Sisi in his heart, he would not show it openly, and when he saw Liu Sisi coming, he would also smile brightly.
Liu Sisi was very interested, and when he saw Han Nie and Jiang Shenbi sitting close, he deliberately chose a position far away from them to sit.
Han Nie was displeased, and said indignantly: "You are sitting so far away, do you wish that outsiders would know that our husband and wife are not harmonious?" ”
Although Jiang Shenbi was not happy, he also said: "Sister, it's not good for you to sit so far away from His Highness, so it's better to sit closer." ”
Liu Sisi moved to Han Nie's right hand and sat down, picked up the toothbrush and began to pick up the vegetables, Liu Sisi took a bite of the squirrel osmanthus fish, and felt that the taste was really good, so he took another bite.
Behold? But when a maid brought the crucian carp soup to the table, she recklessly spilled the soup, burning Han Nie's hand, and instantly became red and swollen and blistered.
Liu Sisi immediately reacted, this soup was accidentally spilled, and it was clearly intentional.
And it wasn't Han Nie who wanted to burn the maid, but herself, if it weren't for Han Nie stretching out his hand and pushing the crucian carp soup away, now that he was injured, he was afraid that he was only injured, and he wouldn't think that Han Nie would just burn his hand so easily.
Lan Lingyi immediately asked a clever maid to fetch a basin of cold water, and asked Han Nie to put his scalded hand in to cool down, and Han Nie's pain was slightly relieved.
But his face was still not good, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Liu Sisi immediately gave the wrong maid a slap, and said sharply: "Cheap maid, you see for yourself how His Highness's hands have been burned by you, and you don't consciously go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment, if Your Highness's hands are still good, I will chop off your hands and hands, and I will not spare you easily." ”
A good meal was ruined like this, and I didn't eat it anymore.
Jiang Shenbi saw Han Nie in such pain, and he felt resentful in his heart.
It's all to blame for the unfavorable maid, not only did not burn Liu Sisi, but instead burned His Highness's hands.
Liu Sisi asked the doctor, "Doctor, what is the condition of His Highness's injuries?" ”
The doctor replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness is fortunate that the burns are not serious, as long as you apply the scalding cream on time, it will be healed in half a month, but Your Highness is a traumatic injury after all, and it is inevitable that it will leave scars in the future." ”
Han Nie has a pair of life, like a white and slender hand of mutton fat jade, and it would be a pity if he left a scar.
After the doctor bandaged Han Nie's wounds, he asked a subordinate to send the doctor out of the palace.
Two days later, the army of the Jiang family headed by Jiang Wu, the general of Zhenbei, returned to the dynasty, and the queen mother specially held a banquet in the palace to commend them for their meritorious service in fighting against the Huns.
Officials of all sizes in the imperial court were invited to bring their families to attend the banquet.
Outside the gate of King Kang's Mansion, a carriage for entering the palace has been prepared, Han Nie and Jiang Shenbi ride in one or two carriages, and Liu Sisi sits in a carriage alone.
This time, the three of them entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, Han Nie supported Jiang Shenbi to walk in front, and Hongjian accompanied Liu Sisi to walk behind.
When many officials saw Han Nie coming, they all hurriedly got up and saluted Han Nie, which was enthusiastic.
