This lotus cake completely captured Suhanalan's heart, what she didn't expect was that the person she had always minded could actually make such delicious food, and the mustard that had been to her in the past was instantly dissolved at the moment when this lotus cake was stuffed into her mouth.

"What arrogance, what prejudice, only food is king!"

Suhanalan took a bite of the lotus cake, muttering words in his mouth, which made everyone present laugh, Su Xiaoman smiled: "If the princess likes it, just come to my house to eat!" ”

"That's what you said, then don't think I'm greedy, your lotus cake is really good, even the imperial kitchen in the palace can't make it, it's so delicious!"

Wei Yuan tasted it carefully and praised it again and again: "This thing should only exist in the sky, how many times can I smell it in the world!" It's delicious, it's delicious, and you can feast on it when you live so close! Hahaha! ”

The two of them were stunned and ate the lotus cake in a box, Suhanalan wiped the corners of his mouth, feeling like he was still unsatisfied, and hurriedly asked: "Are you only going to make this kind of dim sum, look at your petite and delicate appearance and look like a person who enters the kitchen every day!" ”

Suhanalan subconsciously glanced at Su Xiaoman's slender jade hand, and hurriedly asked, "Shouldn't you have asked those rural cooks to take it over?" ”

In fact, she also understood when she asked Su Xiaoman like this, after all, this lotus cake can't be eaten anywhere, not to mention that she doesn't look like a person who can cook.

Wei Yuan hurriedly reconsidered: "Miss Su, tell me honestly, which family is the cook, this king immediately invited him to the palace to be a cook, and it is easy to say anything about silver!" ”

Pearl and Xiao Yuan stood behind and covered their mouths and smiled, muttering to each other secretly from time to time.

Listening to the princess and the prince arguing in the hall, Xiao Yuan stomped his feet anxiously and said, "This is obviously the lotus cake made by Madame, I want to eat it, why don't they believe it?" ”

"Do you see that Mrs. looks like a person who touches that spring water, if we didn't know, maybe we wouldn't believe it!"

Pearl shrugged her shoulders and said proudly, in a tone like she had done herself, although she was not waiting in front of the hall, but the two of them in the back of the hall listened to it really.

Su Xiaoman smiled shyly: "I think it's almost time for lunch, if the prince and princess don't dislike it, you can go to my house as a guest, how about making a few home-cooked side dishes for the two of you to taste at noon today?" ”

Syllable.....

Wei Yuan clapped his palms and immediately said, "Okay, that's it!" Let's go to her house now, this king wants to see it with his own eyes, if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, how can he believe it! ”

She immediately got up and led Suhannaran out, but she was reluctant at this time.

Suhanalan tugged Wei Yuan's sleeve robe and hurriedly pulled him: "Lord Wang, I haven't dressed up yet, so it's a little rude to go out!" ”

Raising his eyebrows between the words, Wei Yuan frowned and didn't understand what she meant, and turned his head to Su Xiaoman in embarrassment: "Oh, yes, yes, my princess only went out after dressing up, so let's go, Miss Su can go back first, this king and princess will arrive later, soon, hahaha!" ”

Su Xiaoman got up and squatted and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare first!" ”

Wei Yuan nodded, seeing that Su Xiaoman had just stepped out of the hall door and was about to ask Su Hanalan what he meant, Su Xiaoman suddenly turned around and said, "I don't know what the prince and princess have to taboo?" ”

I saw Wei Yuan opening his mouth and stopping to speak, and smiled awkwardly: "No, haha!" Miss Su go slowly, let's see you later! ”

Seeing Su Xiaoman leave the palace, Wei Yuan looked at Su Hanalan curiously and said, "Did you have a cramp in your eyebrows just now?" ”

"What, when people come to the palace, they all bring such delicious snacks as lotus cakes, doesn't the prince bring some courtesy when he visits other people's houses? Will there be a faux pas? ”

Although Suhanalan said that he didn't like Su Xiaoman, he had already been bought by Lotus Crisp in his heart, and Wei Yuan suddenly knocked on his head: "Yes, we can't lose our manners!" Uncle Zhong, go to the treasure house and pick a famous painting, and then choose six good glass bottles, go quickly! ”

Uncle Zhong is the senior steward of the palace, his full name is Zhou Zhong, usually the affairs of the palace are handled by him, Wei Yuan was handled by Zhou Zhong when he was young, and his loyalty to Wei Yuan can be said to be the kind that can block the sword for Wei Yuan.

Zhong Boha replied with a bow: "The slave is going now, the prince will wait for a while!" ”

It's rare to see Wei Yuan so happy, usually except before the court, Wei Yuan doesn't have any pastime, because of his love for Suhanalan, there is not even a girl in the palace, let alone marrying any concubine.

Uncle Zhong took the old bones, and he was still very cheerful when he walked, and quickly took the things that Wei Yuan needed, gave him a look or two, and confirmed that there was no problem, and the three of them set off to the next door together.

Su Xiaoman, who returned to the house, came to the kitchen in a hurry, and at this time, the cook in the kitchen had already lit a fire and was ready to start cooking, and even the washed rice was ready to be steamed in the pot.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the cook was about to put the rice pocket on the steamer, Su Xiaoman immediately stopped.

Su Xiaoman and Lu Wangshu eat high-quality rice, full of grains and pure taste, which is different from that eaten by the female envoy and slave, and the cook has not steamed the rice in the pot.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

The cook looked at her in surprise, thinking that she didn't want to eat rice at noon, so she hurriedly put the rice in her hand on the board.

Su Xiaoman stepped forward and looked at the rice prepared by the cook: "Prepare two more servings, there are distinguished guests visiting today!" ”

After speaking, he looked around his kitchen, chicken, duck and fish were all available, and he saw that the vegetables sent by the vegetable man in the morning were also green.

"The slave and maid will be ready, but what else does the lady need to prepare for the slave?"

This sentence can be regarded as saying in Su Xiaoman's heart, remembering that one of the four maidservants sold back before seemed to say that he could cook, and thought about it and said to the pearl who was waiting at the door: "Pearl, you go and call the female envoy who said that she could cook meals before, the one called Liuli!" ”

"Yes!"

In order to hurry up, Su Xiaoman also started the things at hand, and the cook was about to go to the steamer after washing the rice, but Su Xiaoman shouted again: "Wait a minute!" ”

"Ma'am, do you want more rice?"

The cook looked at her puzzled, Su Xiaoman shook his head and said, "You go and get a piece of corn, wash it, break off the corn kernels and cook it in rice!" ”

Although I don't understand what Su Xiaoman wants to do, but this is the first time I have met this cook of corn rice, after listening to her words, the cook went to the vegetable basket and turned out a piece of corn that had just been delivered this morning, and pulled out the outer skin and hair, but this fresh corn was rotten as soon as it was buttoned, and it couldn't be deducted whole.

The cook reluctantly took another piece of corn and washed it, handed it to Su Xiaoman, looked at her helplessly and said, "Madam, this corn is so fresh and spoiled as soon as it is buttoned, what can you do!" ”

Su Xiaoman shook his head, picked up the knife on the board and cut it, a whole row of corn was completely taken off the corn cob, and directly put the corn into the rice after scattering it, clapped his palms and said, "It's okay, go steam!" ”

"Madam, Liuli is here!"

Pearl lifted the curtain of the kitchen door and brought Liuli to Su Xiaoman's side, Liuli looked at her respectfully and squatted down and said, "Madame is fine!" ”

"Don't follow so many rules, you just say how are your knife skills? Will it be plated? Do you know how the dishes are served? ”

A series of questions made Liuli a little confused, and replied in a daze: "The carved sculptures are not bad, and the plating has also been learned from the previous chefs, and I have also made a second chef!" ”

In fact, she called Liuli to come to the kitchen, she was still a little happy in her heart, after all, making food is the only thing she is interested in, but she is not the master, the master does not dare to go west, today Su Xiaoman specially called her, this is her only chance to perform, if you can do this kitchen lady in the kitchen, it is naturally the best.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I'm going to cook, you just give me the side dishes and plating!"

In an instant, Liuli was a little lost, and thought that Su Xiaoman asked her to cook, but she didn't think that she was here to do chores, but after thinking about it, it was already very good to be able to enter the kitchen, and she said, "Madam, please speak!" ”

Su Xiaoman held his right hand and thought for a while: "Hmm...... Then make a sauerkraut fish first, then a braised beef, and grunt pork, um...... How about fish-flavored shredded pork? And how about getting a stewed duck with ginger, and how about making a jade pothos soup at the end? ”

The first few glasses have understood, but the last one really doesn't understand, what is the jade pothos soup? How do you mix the ingredients? Liuli, who was full of curiosity about food, immediately asked: "Madam, the first few slaves and maids all know, but what is the last soup?" ”

Su Xiaoman smiled mysteriously: "You'll know later!" ”

Ruri wants to know what the last dish she has never heard of is, so she can quickly know what she needs to start preparing the ingredients.

Since the last time I taught the cook how to pick fish and kill fish, this time it has become eye-catching, and she took the initiative to pick a big and fat grass carp in the clay tank, and neatly processed the fish cleanly, and the sauerkraut fish chef still knows how to operate, she cut the fish meat into thin slices piece by piece, and the fish bones are also cut and put aside.

Xiao Yuan didn't want to be idle at the door of the kitchen, so he hurriedly went to the cellar and grabbed two sauerkraut out, listened to the guidance of the cook, passed the sauerkraut through water several times to remove the bitter taste, and used boiling water to remove the earthy taste.

Liuli also quickly started the matter of the second kitchen, and began to prepare all the things that Su Xiaoman needed.

At this time, Wei Yuan and Su Hanalan came to the mansion, and Pearl knew that Su Xiaoman was busy in the kitchen, so she hurriedly ran to the gate of the house to greet her: "The prince is fine, the princess is fine!" Inside please! ”
