A few days after entering the palace, it was finally out of the filial piety period.

As a mother in the first trimester, in addition to proper exercise, I have been making recipes for myself in the study these days.

"Folic acid, calcium, protein, DHA ......" Mingzhu took a brush and wrote on the paper. Although I didn't know how to use a brush before, the muscle memory of this body is still there. After a little familiarity, you will get used to it, of course, the handwriting is different, and occasionally a few simplified characters will be written.

"Folic acid: spinach, celery, soybeans, pears, oranges, walnuts...... what's more? Mingzhu was thinking hard.

Si Cha glanced at it, although he didn't understand what His Royal Highness the princess was doing at all. But it is still very intimate, and from time to time I change to flower and fruit tea with a suitable temperature.

Yingluo was quietly grinding ink on the side.

"Sicha, have you ever heard of tuna, sardines, salmon, and yellow croaker?" Mingzhu said.

Si Cha: "I've heard that every year there will be a lot of dried fish in the coastal area, and there are these that His Highness just said. ”

When Yingluo heard this, she even interjected rarely: "Huh...... It was salty, bitter and fishy, but it was unpalatable, and the masters didn't eat it, so the imperial dining room was cooked for the little palace maids and eunuchs below. "With a look of disgust, it looks like it has been poisoned.

"Uh...... Straight boiled? Mingzhu was stunned, the dishes that could be delivered to her were naturally top-notch, and the taste alone was delicious enough. Therefore, she didn't even notice that most of the current cooking methods are steaming. "If, this palace wants them to use the freezing method to pay tribute to fresh fish. What do you guys think? ”

Si Cha thought about it and was a little embarrassed: "Generally, there is very little ice storage in the coastal area, if you want them to pay tribute to fresh sea fish, the waste of money and manpower is simply incalculable." Presumably the emperor will not allow it. Yingluo also nodded in agreement.

"Ice...... Money...... Ice can be exchanged for money......" Mingzhu muttered in a whisper, feeling a little better.

Seeing her muttering, Si Cha thought that the master was really greedy, and couldn't help but explain, "Although there are no sea fish, a few baskets of crucian carp were sent to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and they are now being kept in the water tank in the back kitchen. Why don't I give you fish soup at noon? ”

"No, I've been eating too lightly lately. At noon I want to eat braised food. ”

"Braised food?" Si Cha is a little confused, she has been learning cooking from the masters of the imperial dining room since she was a child, and she has never heard of this practice?

"Yes, this braised crucian carp is not only fragrant and delicious, but also has a strong sauce aroma. Tut. Mingzhu swallowed and was about to popularize her food recipes to Sicha...

"Princess Qiyu, the Duchess of Zhenguo sent someone to post that she would come to visit tomorrow." A little girl from the outer courtyard came to say goodbye.

Is this from the in-laws? Mingzhu's mood is a little complicated, and the bad experience in her previous life in her mother-in-law's house made her very frightened. Now I can only keep reciting three times in my heart: "I am a princess." I'm a princess. I'm a princess. ”

Only then did he settle down and said, "Si Cha, you go and talk back." said that he didn't dare to leave Mrs. Lao, the palace was in good health, and he would go to ask for peace tomorrow morning. ”

"No."

Fortunately, this is a world with open folk customs, similar to the Wei and Jin dynasties. After Wei Ci's father died in the war a few years ago, Wei Ci's mother remarried to the southern clan. Now the serious masters of the Zhenguo Mansion are only Wei Ci's younger brother and grandmother.

Moreover, although it was said that it was a marriage, the queen mother and the first emperor were afraid that the original body would be wronged, so they built this princess mansion next door to the Zhenguo Mansion, which was only slightly smaller than the Guogong Mansion. Therefore, although there is only a wall between them and their in-laws, they still have to post when they meet each other. So happy (* ̆) ̆*).。.:*♡.

The early spring sun was just right, and I was a little sleepy.

Mingzhu just took a nap on the chaise longue, and when she woke up, she saw Si Cha guarding her with an anxious face: "It's almost noon, I don't know what Your Highness wants to eat today?" ”

Mingzhu smiled, Si Cha was obsessed with cooking, this was thinking about the braised fish that he hadn't finished talking about before. "Hmm...... Suddenly you don't have an appetite, you can do whatever you want! Unhurriedly, he took the handkerchief handed over by Si Hai, wiped it briefly, and rinsed his mouth with fragrant tea.

"That's... Make fish? Sicha asked.

"Hmm... It's okay, let's stew a crucian carp soup, it's fragrant and replenishing. Mingzhu nodded in agreement.

"Braised fish, doesn't Your Highness want to eat braised fish?" Si Cha was in a hurry.

"yes, will you do it?"

"I... I won't..."

"Poof," looking at the blushing Si Cha, Mingzhu smiled: "Let's go, go to the kitchen, I'll show you a hand." ”

Hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess was going to cook, Si Chai and Si Jin consciously followed.

The group arrived at the inner kitchen, where only Amber was carefully guarding a stove. Inside the stove hangs snow-white dashi. Seeing Mingzhu coming in, he hurriedly came over to salute.

At this time, Mingzhu realized that the kitchen was really not small, with a row of five small pots and small stoves, facing the neat side dishes. Although there is only one master in the house at present, Mingzhu, and most of these stoves are not used, it can be seen that they are all well organized and spotless by Sicha and Amber.

Mingzhu began to give orders with satisfaction: "Okay Amber, go collect a fish for me." ”

Amber hurried to the vat to catch fish, and then killed the fish neatly, scaled them, dug gills, and gutted them. In a few moments, a fish was cleaned up.

"That's right, it's worthy of being Sicha's little apprentice." Mingzhu praised.

Amber didn't speak, just pursed her lips and smiled, and then caught another fish.

Mingzhu looked at the side dishes: "Si Cha, no chili peppers?" ”

Si Cha said suspiciously, "There are peppercorns, pepper, and millet spicy." What is Chili? ”

"Millet spicy?"

"It was a tribute from the Miao natives a few years ago, and it was very spicy. We use very little, but not much. Because they have been fighting between tribes for several years. Si Cha patiently explained.

Mingzhu is happy, although it is best to have a light diet during pregnancy, it is also good to be able to satisfy cravings occasionally.

So, Mingzhu made a braised crucian carp with his own palm. At the end, the fish is fragrant.

Si Cha was stunned, and he was already eager to try it with chopsticks.

Mingzhu tasted it first, tsk, the craftsmanship did not regress at all. Coupled with pure natural and pollution-free ingredients, it has more fresh fragrance.

It's a real pleasure to eat this way, without having to prepare ingredients, wash dishes, and tidy up the kitchen. Just cook with peace of mind.

"Come, taste them all."

Si Cha, Si Hai, Si Jin, Amber, and Si Wei next door who was attracted by the fragrance: "Thank you for the princess reward." ”

Several people rushed up and scrambled to eat it in a few clicks, the first plate of braised crucian carp in the world.

"Sicha and Amber should also make one each." Mingzhu commanded.

The two of them were ordered to choose a stove each, and soon they each burned one.

Everyone stepped forward to taste it, and the seasoning of the tea was slightly better, but the two of them had a good grasp of the heat.

"Yes, it's good to do it for the first time. Now I'll teach you how to make a stir-fried pork with celery. ”

......

In this way, Mingzhu made a dish of roasting, stir-frying, frying, frying, and boiling. Eat a few girls with round stomachs.

"Hmm...... I'm full, so let's try to do it first. I'm going to eat it. With that, Mingzhu took a walk to the back garden.

As he walked, he muttered: "Pork liver, shrimp skin, kelp, carrots, eggs, milk..."

Si Chai and Si Jin also followed.

Si Cha, Si Wei and Amber stayed in the kitchen to continue trying out new dishes.

After walking for more than a moment, Mingzhu was a little sleepy. Presumably her pregnancy reaction was drowsiness.

This sleep was an hour, and after getting up, Mingzhu went to the inner kitchen.

In the kitchen, it is already fragrant, you don't need to look at it, just smell it, you already feel your tongue is full of flavor.

Say it silently: Control your diet. Control your diet. Control your diet.

Only then did he walk in, waved his hand to avoid everyone's salute, and said, "How was the test?" Let's try it first? ”

Si Cha, Si Wei, and Amber hurriedly laid out the best five dishes.

Mingzhu tasted each dish again: "Hmm...... is worthy of being a professional, and he threw me, a master, over the wall so quickly. ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and Si Cha hurriedly said: "Thanks to His Highness's whimsy, if we rely on ourselves, we will not be able to make such delicious food in this life." ”

Si Wei and Amber: "Yes, yes, yes......"

"Okay, you're welcome, I'll make two more in a while...... Three copies, one each for the royal brother and the queen mother, and one for the Zhenguo Mansion. Just send it before dinner. "Mingzhu is arranged.

"No."

"As for myself, let's make a light and soothing medicinal meal."

"No."

---------------------------------------------------

In the evening in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother and Emperor Nanzhao were preparing to pass the meal. A palace maid came to report: "The emperor and the queen mother." Princess Mingzhu's mansion just sent two boxes of meals, saying that this is a newly developed dish developed by Princess Mingzhu, and the emperor and the queen mother are invited to taste it. ”

Emperor Nan Zhao was stunned, "Two boxes? ”

The palace maid replied: "Your Majesty, Shicai has already experienced it, and it is two boxes of exactly the same five-course dishes." ”

"Hmm. Send one to the Queen. Step aside. ”

"No."

The Queen Mother said with relief: "This kid knew that Ah Zhao would come to Cining Palace for dinner before returning to the palace, but he still sent two copies. I only hope that the queen can accept her love. ”

"Forget it, let her go." After speaking, Emperor Nanzhao suddenly became interested: "It's the first time I've heard that Mingzhu can cook, but you have to taste it well." I don't know if it's cooked or not. ”

"No matter how you do, the daughter of the mourning family will not be bad." The Queen Mother immediately decided.

At this time, Jade had already opened the food box and laid out the plates one by one. Suddenly, the fragrance fills the air.

"This dish seems to be completely different from the past, let the mourning family try it." The Queen Mother held it up and tasted it: "Well, this crucian carp is fragrant and delicious, slightly numb and slightly spicy, and tastes very good." ”

Emperor Nanzhao took a bite of shredded celery meat: "The celery is crisp and tender, the shredded meat is delicate and flexible, and it is really fragrant when bitten together." ”

"What kind of meat is this sweet and sour? The taste is still so soft and smooth? ”

"This fried cake with eggs, shrimp and leeks is not only fresh and pleasing in color, unique in fragrance, but also so unique in texture and taste."

"It turns out that this dried sea fish, which everyone is tired of, is so delicious when boiled with taro!"

......

In this way, the two of them took one bite at a time, and soon wiped out most of the dishes.

---------------------------------------

In Kunning Palace, the queen's personal palace maid Taohong was reprimanding the palace maid: "How many times have you said it?" Now is the most critical time, and no outside food is allowed to be imported by the queen. Why are you so unremembered? ”

After speaking, he was so angry that he twisted it on the little palace maid's arm. "Don't hurry up and get out!"

"No." The little palace maid carried the food box and staggered towards the place where she came.

----------------------------------------

The eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion is dining with Wei Ci's younger brother, Wei Shu.

They didn't talk much, but the two of them looked happy. I don't know why.

Or is it because of the food, or because of something else?
