Early in the morning, Su Xiaoman was ping at the kitchen table tennis with things, with flour hanging on her pink little face, kneading the dough in her slender hands, the old chef standing on the side thought that she was going to make noodles again, thinking of the noodles she had made in the inn before, so she swallowed her saliva and looked at her with beads in her eyes.

"Madame, but you're going to make bacon noodles again? Do you want the slave to take a piece of bacon stored in the cellar and come forward? ”

Speaking of the sealed bacon, the bacon in the cellar was still bought at the market, and it had never been cooked and eaten, and I didn't know how it tasted, but the owner of the inn before said it was very good.

The cook stepped forward diligently, wanting to help.

Su Xiaoman raised his eyes and smiled at her: "You go and help me get some red beans, lotus seeds, mung beans, don't make bacon noodles today!" ”

"Yes!"

The cook was puzzled, since she didn't make noodles, why did she start kneading noodles early in the morning, frowning and going to get what Su Xiaoman needed.

After the dough was made, Su Xiaoman kneaded the dough into small balls, pressed it round with a rolling pin, and spread it on top of each other, and then continued to crush it with a rolling pin.

The cook standing on the side was very puzzled, and asked curiously: "Madame, why is this, if you want to steam steamed buns or noodles, you can just wrap the stuffing in it?" ”

I can hear that the chef's curiosity has reached the top, after all, I am afraid that even the emperor in the palace may not be able to eat this dim sum, Su Xiaoman used to live at home, this dim sum is a dim sum that she will always remember for a lifetime.

"I'm going to make lotus pastry, you go and make a fire, scoop up the lard a little more and put it in the pot, remember to keep it on low heat, otherwise it will burn off!"

After speaking, the lotus seeds and red mung beans that have been softened in hot water are all crushed into powder, and egg whites are added to adjust the filling, which are red bean lotus seed filling and mung bean lotus seed filling.

The cook who lit the fire on the side turned her head from time to time to peek at her, only to see that she wrapped the stuffing and dough one by one, and then gently cut six cuts on the dough with a knife.

After making the dough, Su Xiaoman went to the stove and tried the oil temperature, seeing that the cook's curiosity was like a child, Su Xiaoman smiled and said: "The oil temperature should be sixty percent hot, if it is too high, it will have a burnt taste!" ”

Looking at the dough in her dustpan, the stunned cook came back to her senses and helped her keep an eye on the fire, when the oil temperature was six or seven hot, Su Xiaoman used a wooden shovel to put the dough into the oil pot, and the cook asked puzzledly: "Why doesn't Mrs. live with rapeseed oil peanut oil?" Do you want to use lard instead? ”

"Lard can make lotus crisp taste more fragrant!"

The cook knows this, but it is rarely used in desserts, after all, desserts are light vegetarian food, which has always been made of vegetable oil, and lard is used by those poor people to stir-fry.

After a while, the dough bloomed like petals, one by one, Su Xiaoman looked at the color and scooped up the lotus cake from the oil pot, and took one of them to the cook.

The cook couldn't close her mouth in surprise, the lotus crisp bloomed like a real lotus, wafting with the fragrance of lotus seeds and red mung beans, and the fragrance of lard also melted into the dough, and when you touched it lightly, you felt that the petals were about to break so crispy.

A bite down, the mouth full of fragrance mixed with the fragrance of lard, taste buds feel like they are about to bloom, just a bite, the cook seems to be completely conquered by the lotus crisp, the mouth wrapped in the lotus crisp is almost speechless, to this lotus crisp frequently nodded in approval.

"It's delicious, but the method is a little complicated, I'll make a note for you later, and you can make it for Wangshu to eat later!"

Su Xiaoman decorated the lotus cake with wolfberries soaked in hot water as the center, put them in the food box and walked out of the kitchen, the cook's happy expression was overflowing, and she sighed: "Our lady should really be a chef, she will definitely make a lot of money!" ”

In the past, Su Xiaoman didn't cook much, and the cook and his husband took care of all the work in the kitchen, but now he directly conquers everyone's mouth when he cooks occasionally.

At this time, Pearl also happened to go to the palace next door to hand over the post, and there was a small house in the palace behind him, and the timing was just about the same time as the time calculated in Su Xiaoman's heart, and he could visit the prince after making the lotus cake.

"Madam, the prince is free today, and when I heard that you were going to the palace, I was so happy!"

Su Xiaoman handed the food box to Xiao Yuan to take, wiped the flour on his face and said, "Do you see that I can go on my face?" ”

Pearl covered her mouth and laughed twice: "Madame is beautiful at all times!" ”

As she spoke, she snatched the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it for Su Xiaoman, only to see that Pearl's expression was full of two words: "Madam, shall we go now?" ”

"Well, lest this lotus flower be soft and it won't taste good!"

took Pearl and Xiao Yuan to the palace.

Wei Yuan, who was still having breakfast, heard that Su Xiaoman was going to visit, so he hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and sat in the side hall waiting for her, and the princess looked at him and felt a little unhappy in her heart: "Is she so rare for you?" They have husbands! ”

Su Hanalan naturally didn't know what role Su Xiaoman would have in Wei Yuan's heart, after all, only Wei Yuan and the current emperor knew about these things, so he turned his head and snorted at her: "What do you woman know, thinking about those feelings and loves all day long, with long hair and short knowledge!" ”

Syllable.....

Suhanalan, who was originally holding the chopsticks, threw the chopsticks on the ground in a fit of anger, and said in a strange manner: "I am a woman who lives with her husband, if I can't even have an opinion on who my husband sees, then what does it mean for me as a princess?" ”

Seeing that she was angry with tears, Wei Yuan's handsome face immediately became pleasant and said, "Oh, my princess, do you know that those who become big things are informal?" ”

immediately walked to her side and appeased her twice, in order to give him a step, Suhanalan immediately said coquettishly: "Then I will also go when I see Su Xiaoman!" ”

"Go, let's go now!"

Without waiting for breakfast, the two of them went to the main hall, Su Xiaoman had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and the two people walked in at the door gracefully and luxuriously, Su Xiaoman, who was sitting on the chair, quickly got up and squatted respectfully and said, "The prince is well, the princess is well!" ”

Wei Yuan sat on the front seat of the hall, and before he could speak, Suhanalan greeted Su Xiaoman warmly as if he had changed: "Mrs. Lu is polite, please take a seat!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes drifted over the side table and he angrily scolded the female envoy: "Why don't you serve tea to your guests, now it's getting more and more unruly!" ”

Frightened, the female envoy next to her immediately walked into the tea room and brought a cup of hot tea to Su Xiaoman.

Seeing that Su Hanalan was so angry, Su Xiaoman knew that when he came to the palace, the princess would not want to see him, otherwise how could he suddenly become such a yin and yang face.

smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, the princess is too polite!" ”

Wei Yuan was stunned by Su Hanalan's sudden angry reprimand, and he had never seen her treat her subordinates so badly before, but for the sake of face, he had to turn his head and say to Su Xiaoman: "Miss Su is here this time?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the food box on the side table, could it be that he was here to deliver food? If it's not food, what's in the box?

"Do you remember the side house you sold?"

"Remember, what's wrong? A few days ago, a businessman bought it, how do you know that this king sold the side house? ”

Wei Yuan looked at her in surprise, didn't she live in an inn? Why are you interested in the house again? She's not from the Sulphur Yuan country, so she shouldn't be able to buy that house, right?

Many questions floated in Wei Yuan's mind.

Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "I bought your house, and now we are next-door neighbors!" ”

When Suhanalan heard this, she was not angry in her heart, Wei Yuan was eyeing her, and now she moved to live next door to the palace, could it be that she had ulterior motives? Isn't she already married? What the hell are you trying to do?

Because of Wei Yuan's face, Suhanalan said with a smile: "Oh? The house is okay, but before it was sold, it was the yard where I lived with the prince! ”

Wei Yuan didn't notice that Su Xiaoman bought his yard, but his mind sank into the food box in front of him, what was inside?

Su Xiaoman noticed Wei Yuan's details, opened the lid of the food box, and said: "It's a bit abrupt to come to visit today, I specially made food from my hometown and sent it to the prince and princess, and I don't know if it's suitable for your taste!" ”

The moment the food box was opened, the fragrance of lotus crisp ran into Wei Yuan's nose, and Suhanalan also smelled the fragrance, and was instantly attracted by the smell of lotus crisp.

Involuntarily stood up from his seat and walked in front of Su Xiaoman, but he didn't look at her, stared straight at the lotus cake and said, "What are you doing, why is it so fragrant?" It looks delicious! ”

After saying that, he reacted immediately, why did he suddenly come over, this restless taste bud was really unstoppable, and he swallowed the saliva in his throat.

Seeing that Su Hanalan's eyes were about to fall out, and his saliva was swallowed and swallowed, Su Xiaoman covered his mouth and smiled: "Princess, this is the lotus cake I specially prepared this morning, you can taste it!" ”

Saying that, he handed a lotus cake in Suhanalan's hand, Wei Yuan also stood up from the chair, walked to Su Xiaoman's side, took one from the food box, and took a bite of it and said in surprise: "This lotus cake should not be made by the chef you asked outside!" ”

Seeing that Su Xiaoman's ten fingers did not look like she had made it herself, Wei Yuan ate one bite at a time with a skeptical attitude, as if he was hungry as if he hadn't eaten breakfast this morning.

As the saying goes, a delicacy can break through people's defenses, and a delicacy can capture a man's stomach, Su Xiaoman never thought of using food to go through the back door, etc., she didn't need it, she just made this lotus cake purely, just to simply visit her neighbors.
