Chapter 76: Great Cooking
In the early morning, the breeze blew through the gauze tent, sending a faint fragrance of herbs, and Shen Ruoxiao on the bed also opened his eyes in time.
She slept peacefully this night, but she didn't know how Shui Su was doing now, so she had to take a look.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Shui Su's room, she heard a yawn, pushed the door in, and Shui Su had already woken up, leaning on the bed in her underwear, with a worried face.
Seeing Shen Ruoxiao coming, Shui Su began to put on his coat in a little anxious: "Miss, why are you here?" Wait for me to put on my clothes and wait for you to wash! ”
"You girl, don't you want to die! My body and bones are important, and I don't have no hands or feet, where can I use you to serve every day? ”
Shen Ruoxiao was angry and funny, and pressed Shui Su back on the bed.
"But, miss, I'm a maid, and this doesn't make sense......
Shui Su's little face was as red as an apple, and he consciously dragged down his own young lady.
"Okay, when you get well, there will be your work at that time, if you push and shove again at this time, don't blame me for being unkind."
Shen Ruoxiao interrupted involuntarily, and by the way, pulled Shui Su's arm to check her pulse.
The pulse is no longer as rapid as before, it tends to be stable and fluent, calm and gentle, and the bottom of the tongue is still slightly purple, but the whole tongue coating is already pale white.
"How's it going, Miss?" Shui Su looked solemn.
"It's not a big deal, just rest a lot, you can relax." Shen Ruoxiao put down her hand and tucked the corners of the quilt for her.
"But, but I seem to have vomited blood last night, and the purple bruise is so big, miss, am I dying?!"
After all, he couldn't hold back, Shui Su took the handkerchief at the bedside and handed it to Shen Ruoxiao, and cried with a whimper.
Shen Ruoxiao didn't panic, picked up the handkerchief and walked to the windowsill to identify it carefully, only to find that it seemed to be the shape of a Gu worm, and the body of the worm was already fragmented and lifeless.
Hey, this girl really scares herself.
"Shui Su, this is the Gu worm discharged, those purple ones are just the dirty blood sucked by the Gu worm's body, you are completely better now!"
"Really? I don't have to die? Will you be able to accompany Miss for a lifetime in the future? Tears rolled down her eyes with a light of surprise.
Looking at Shui Su's timid appearance and the rest of his life, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help laughing, but then his heart was full of emotion.
At the moment of crisis, Susu was hanging from a tree, and her heroic appearance was still vivid, and she did not hesitate to stab her chest with a hairpin.
This little girl is not deeply involved in the world, and she is so afraid of death, but she always rushes in front of herself when she encounters problems, and she is categorical and instinctive.
Even if it is a biological sister, in such a bad environment where people are indifferent, I am afraid they may not necessarily have this kind of courage, right?
Thinking about it, Shen Ruoxiao's heart became softer and softer.
"Okay, take a good rest, nourish your qi and blood, and I'll make you something delicious later!"
"Thank you, Miss, Miss is so nice!" Shui Su frowned and smiled, his face bright.
It was early in the morning, and the cook, who was making meals, was already busy and was basking in the sun in the warm nest at the door.
Seeing Shen Ruoxiao coming, Chef Liu hurriedly got up respectfully: "Princess, but today's breakfast is not appetizing?" If there is something you want to eat, let it be smaller. ”
Shen Ruoxiao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just going to come and go around, by the way, my hands are a little itchy, I want to make some food by myself, you guys can rest!" ”
"Okay, you have something to order!" Chef Liu scratched his head innocently, and his affection for Shen Ruoxiao doubled.
You know, these delicate princesses are very expensive, they have always been arrogant and picky, and they are even more particular about eating, where will they cook by themselves?
The concubine Lu who was kicked out of the mansion before, but she didn't toss them a lot.
I want meat and vegetables in the morning, cold soup in the evening, or toss some unheard of food, but I have never given a good face, and I have played Naqiao's posture to the fullest, where will I be close to the person who is smiling like the Lord in front of me?
It seems that this young princess is a good match.
Shen Ruoxiao didn't know that she suddenly had a tall image in the minds of many chefs, she looked at the kitchen full of ingredients and was quite satisfied.
Shui Su Qi and blood are deficient, she is going to make a red date Ejiao cake and make up for her.
The kitchen holds the ingredients on a large circular platform, covered with jade-colored marble, and in the middle of which is a symmetrical stove, where you can cook on the top and choose the dishes at will below, and many dishes can be prepared together.
Shen Ruoxiao looked at the medicinal food, and sure enough, he found that there was ejiao that had already been soaked in rice wine, and it was already soft at this time.
She baked the soaked ejiao in a pot with water and stirred it slowly, making the ejiao more viscous and drawn.
When the ejiao was even, she smashed the yellow rock candy into it, stirred it carefully, and the crystal rock sugar melted like snowflakes.
Knowing that this took a lot of effort, she began to process walnut kernels and longan meat by the way, and by the way, she also put the red fruits in the space, and in order to eat it delicately, she cut it evenly. 652 Literature Network
When these are ready, she pours them into the ejiao juice and stirs them to boil, adding honey and dried red dates, and finally sprinkles them with black sesame seeds and flower petals.
"Whew, it's done."
Looking at a large pot full of Ejiao cakes, Shen Ruoxiao curled the corners of her lips, and the sense of accomplishment in her heart was about to overflow.
She's really a talent, and if this is exchanged for silver, wouldn't it be a great treasure?
It's just that Ejiao cake needs to be dried and refrigerated, and she has to wait a day to eat it, so she can't wait.
With an idea, Shen Ruoxiao remembered the two little guys in the space.
"Red incense, blue shirt?"
"Master, what are you looking for us? Hmm, it smells so good! Hongxiang poked her head lazily and held her little nose.
"Just know to eat, the owner must have something to help with." The blue shirt gave him an angry look.
"Yes, I really need your help. I just made Ejiao cake and need to be dried and refrigerated for a day, is there any way for you to help me make it quickly? ”
Shen Ruoxiao grinned, and by the way, let the sweet fragrance quickly penetrate into the space.
"Yes, yes, but it's just a reward...... "Hong Xiangtian said shamelessly.
"Master, don't listen to him, I have a way. Red incense belongs to fire and has firepower, I belong to water and has ice power, so it is not a problem to freeze something quickly for you. The blue shirt said obediently.
That's just right, and you can eat it after a short time of putting it in it.
arranged honey for the two fat dumplings to eat, and Shen Ruoxiao entrusted Ejiao to them, making time to cook something else by the way.
The sun was already a little high, and his stomach was also shouting, Shen Ruoxiao looked at the fresh ingredients and decided to boil another pot of eight-treasure lotus seed porridge and make some delicious bean paste buns.
In order to ensure the taste of sand and glutinous, she boiled it with spiritual spring water and well water, and simmered slowly.
The bean paste buns are small and exquisite, holding up fat stomachs, and mung bean juice, red bean juice, and carrot juice dye them colorful and colorful, which makes people appetize when they look at it.
When these were steamed, the Ejiao cake in the space had been formed, and Shen Ruoxiao quietly took it out and put it on the board.
Dipping the knife slightly in water, Shen Ruoxiao cut the Ejiao cake into square slices, each slice is black and crystalline, the bright red petals and nuts complement each other, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, more like exquisite handicrafts.
"Ah, it smells so good, what is this delicious?" The housekeeper who smelled the smell sniffed and her eyes lit up.
When she saw clearly that it was Shen Ruoxiao who was busy in front of the stove, the housekeeper was taken aback: "Princess, you, why are you?" ”
"Mama, I have nothing to do to make some snacks, and I just finished it, how about you taste it for me first?"
Shen Ruoxiao was generous, took the ejiao cake and bean paste bag and handed them to Mama, and looked at her expectantly.
"This ...... The old slave, the princess worked hard to eat, she didn't even catch a bite of it, and if the old slave ate it, he would be too ignorant of the rules. ”
Even though the housekeeper swallowed her saliva greedily, she was still a person who understood the rules and resolutely resisted the temptation.
Seeing that Mama was embarrassed to eat, Shen Ruoxiao was a little helpless, she deliberately straightened her face and said, "If you want to taste it, hurry up and taste it, where did you get so much nonsense?" Do you command you to disobey me in all these things? ”
Seeing that although Shen Ruoxiao had a straight face, there was a soft smile in his eyes, and the housekeeper was clear, and agreed with a smile: "What the princess ordered is that the old slave should taste it well!" ”
When I took a bite of Ejiao cake first, I thought it was hard and sticky to my teeth, but I never thought that the texture of the mouth was soft and flexible, the nuts were crisp and fragrant, and then it was sweet and sour flesh and honey, and the taste was full of layers.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, the old slave has lived for most of his life, and he has never eaten such a delicious Ejiao cake, it turned out to be my least favorite thing, but now it's a little addictive!"
The housekeeper was full of praise while chewing carefully.
Taste the bean paste bun again, in addition to the color is full, fluffy and soft, the bean paste inside is also soft and glutinous and sweet, extraordinarily delicious, and you can eat one or two red beans from time to time, which is both satisfying and full.
Seeing the housekeeper's mother squinting her eyes in satisfaction, Shen Ruoxiao's heart burst with a sense of accomplishment.
Wonderful, it seems that his cooking skills are not bad, and the opening of the store is just around the corner!
Gave some to the housekeeper's mother, Shen Ruoxiao was about to send the water to the housekeeper, and when he walked to the door, he bumped into the cooks rubbing their hands, looking inside with a salivating face.
Seeing Shen Ruoxiao come out, several cooks coughed dryly, "Hello princess!" ”
"What's good? The saliva is pouring out. I see that you guys usually work hard, these are the foods I just made, so try them by the way! ”
Shen Ruoxiao looked funny, starting with Chef Liu, and gave them to a few people one by one, and the few men who provoked him were moved to red eyes.
This princess is really good, they will definitely support and love them in the future!
is secretly swearing, after tasting the few people who boast of their superb cooking skills, their eyes are amazed.
I have to say that these ordinary snacks made Shen Ruoxiao make an extraordinary taste, especially the Ejiao cake, the astringency and stickiness of Ejiao are gone, replaced by sweet, soft, and fragrant.
