I saw that in the jar, the angelica flower, which was supposed to be purple and red, was already jet black, and it emitted a foul smell.

Shi Qingqian shouted out in shock, and several cooks next to him also surrounded him curiously.

"Oh my God...... Miss, what's going on? Xue Ying said in surprise.

Shi Qingqian's face was a little solemn and shook his head.

"Yes, did the little lord put the wrong thing when he pickled it?" In the group of onlookers, one of them speculated.

"Impossible, I tasted it when it was pickled, and there was a cook from the Hou Mansion with me, so if something went wrong, I would definitely know." Shi Qingqian shook her head decisively, she was very confident that she was absolutely not mistaken, because this dish was to be eaten at the palace banquet, she was also extra careful, every step was confirmed by Da Zhou and Xiao Wang one by one before she made it, if it was said that she made a mistake when pickling, it was really impossible.

Xue Ying was a little panicked, she knew how important this 'red peony' was in the entire medicinal diet, destroying this 'red peony' was equivalent to destroying half of the medicinal diet!

"What should I do, miss...... It's too late to re-marinate now! How good is that! ”

"Ying'er, don't panic." Shi Qingqian said calmly.

She crouched down and carefully examined the mud that had just been knocked off.

After such a long time, the original yellow mud has long since dried up and set the shape, although she used chopsticks to hang up the mud on the jar, but the mud that fell down is still basically preserved in the state and shape when it dried.

I saw Shi Qingqian pick up a piece from the ground, as if he was collecting evidence at the scene of the crime.

Sure enough, the mud showed a layered state, as if Shi Qingqian had smeared the first layer of yellow mud, and after the yellow mud had slightly fixed its shape, he added a layer later.

The mud that fell from the crevices was not in such a state.

In other words, it should be that after Shi Qingqian sealed the jar that time, it was opened again, and then it was resealed.

Xue Ying saw that Shi Qingqian's expression had changed a little, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you see anything?" ”

Shi Qingqian threw away the mud in his hand, got up and patted the soil on his hand, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing, Ying'er, let's clean up this place first, it's better to make medicinal food now." These things...... It's never too late to talk about it in the future. ”

"But...... Our 'red peony' is broken! Xue Ying said aggrievedly, "The things that Miss has prepared for so long have broken like this......"

"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Qingqian smiled helplessly, the person who should cry now is her, why did Xue Ying cry first, "Okay Ying'er, you go clean up first, and I'll think of other ways to remedy it, it's not in the way." ”

Seeing that his young lady was so calm, Xue Ying had to calm himself down. For cooking things, she couldn't help much, but she definitely couldn't hold back!

Xue Ying nodded, hugged the jar and turned his head and walked out.

After Xue Ying left, Shi Qingqian let out a long sigh, although she didn't look flustered, she was actually very panicked in her heart. After all, without this 'red peony', the fish porridge would be eclipsed.

In case Shen Lun is in a bad mood, it is not impossible to say that he is perfunctory and deceitful.

"Lord Sakura ...... What now? The little chef who was sent over to help Shi Qingqian scratched his head and asked confusedly.

"Hmm...... Let's make fish porridge first. "Shi Qingqian is helpless, it's better to have a bowl of porridge than nothing, at least it's better to make the porridge first," come, remove the bones from the fish meat, cut it into pieces, marinate it with green onion and ginger and half a tablespoon of white wine, rinse it with water after half an hour, and then chop it into meat puree. ”

"Okay." The little cook nodded obediently and did as Shi Qingqian instructed.

Shi Qingqian was a little bored, so he left his small place, preparing to take a walk around the imperial dining room, in case he ran into something, maybe he could take it over to make amends.

She walked aimlessly by herself, and suddenly, in the corner, she found a pile of white radishes that had been discarded there haphazardly.

Looking at the white radishes that could not be looked at all in the imperial dining room, Shi Qingqian suddenly felt a flash of light in his mind, and suddenly thought about it - yes, you can use white radishes to carve into the shape of peony flowers!

It's impossible to pickle the radish red now, but she just saw fresh perilla on the vegetable shelf, and she could just take it over and dye it!

As soon as she said she would do it, she went to pick out a few good turnips, hugged them and went back to her place.

"Little county lord, what are you doing with some turnips?" Manager Wang noticed Shi Qingqian's movements, and hurriedly ran over in three steps and two steps.

"Carving, by the way, Mr. Wang, you can help me call a few chefs who are good at carving, carve with white radish, and can also remedy my medicinal diet." Shi Qingqian put down the radish and said to Manager Wang.

Manager Wang showed a worried look on his face, and stepped forward to help her place the radish in her arms, "Hey, little county lord, you will give this to the emperor?" This radish is usually used to make a fresh ...... I can't get on the stage! And this white peony ...... The implication is not good. Or do you want to think of something else? ”

Shi Qingqian had just turned around in a big circle, and he didn't see anything that could be used, except for these radishes. She also knew that Manager Wang was doing it for her own good, but she still shook her head, "It's okay, just use this, the time is almost up, and if you think of other ways, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Manager Wang seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, turned his head and called two cooks.

According to what Shi Qingqian said, they carved the white radish into small and delicate peony flowers one after another. At the same time, Shi Qingqian brought the perilla and began to squeeze the juice of the perilla to color the radish later.

However, the taste of radish is still obvious, Shi Qingqian is really a little afraid that the emperor will mind, so he thought about it for a long time, and went to the Tai Hospital to get some medicinal materials and came back, and dealt with the white radish urgently.

The reason why she must use medicinal materials is because she was called to make 'medicinal food', and she will use some more or less, if the emperor asks at that time...... It can be said.

Originally, the imperial chefs still looked down on Shi Qingqian a little, and used white radishes to make it...... Who can afford it? But when I saw that she was further processing the carved flowers with various things, I couldn't help but admire them.

Shi Qingqian looked at the finished product, and the effect was much better than he imagined.

"Great...... In this way, it can almost make up for the angelica flower. ”
