Chapter 4: The Limbo Race (1)

It's another year, and the winter is over and the spring is warm.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 100-day period of the princess of Luanguo, and the queen mother intended to have a good time with the 100-day ceremony for the child, sweeping away the depression in the palace in the past few months.

After a few months of recuperation, my body has recovered, except for a faint scar on the back of my hand.

Five days later is the "100-day celebration" period, early in the morning I went to Liuxiangxuan with Jingyi, one is to send the little princess's "hundred clothes", and secondly, I also discussed the details of the "100-day celebration" with Keer by the way.

Ke'er has now sealed Xiu Yuan and has become the head of the first palace. gave birth to a daughter, and she has washed away the appearance of her former children, and she is more and more charming and charming.

I sat at the flower table by the window, watching her and Jingyi talking about the child's trivial matters, and my heart suddenly felt emotional...... If my child had survived, he would have been called a mother by now!

I was thinking about it wildly, and suddenly I heard Jingyi call me: "Rui'er, the Queen Mother ordered the queen mother to prepare "Bailu Baifu Cake" on the day of the banquet yesterday? I've never heard of this thing, let alone seen it, and it doesn't seem to be my folk food in Dashu. ”

I nodded and said, "The Queen Mother mentioned it, but I don't know what the Bailu Baifu Cake looks like." "I think this queen mother was originally a native of Taiyuan, and she was originally a concubine of Tang Zhuang Zong before she ascended the throne, and later married Meng Zhixiang, the father of Baoyuan. Now I go to the Queen Mother for a cake and ask the Queen Mother carefully, I am afraid that there is something wrong.

Jing Yi was puzzled: "What can I do then?" This cake is not owned by my Dashu folklore, and the cooks in the imperial dining room will not make it if they are not in order, if the Queen Mother asks tomorrow......"

I thought for a while and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll let Ming'er go to the imperial dining room to ask in a while, and then go to the small kitchens of each palace and hall to take a look, there are many talented people in the palace, maybe there are people who can do it!" ”

As she was talking, Ke'er laughed on the side: "What Sister Concubine Hui said is that Miss Ming'er is the first master in our palace who knows how to eat and loves food, she can think of any strange food, and she is also familiar with the cooks in each palace and hall." ”

Jingyi originally had a serious face, but when she was amused by Ke'er's words, she also relaxed and said with a smile: "Exactly, maybe Ming'er will know it." ”

I couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Ming'er knew that her reputation as a "foodie" was so far-reaching, maybe something!

After returning to Changchun Palace, I told Ming'er about Bailu Baifu cake, this girl was full of confusion after listening, and asked me vigorously: "Sister, did the Queen Mother really say that there is such a cake?" I don't know at all, if I say that I have eaten dozens of kinds of cakes, today is the first time I have heard of such a cake. ”

Seeing her serious expression, I couldn't help but smile: "You go and ask, but there are cooks who know how to do it, if no one knows how to do it, then think about it yourself and think about making some, anyway, the things that are suitable for the situation are ordered by the Queen Mother herself, so you have to prepare everything." ”

"Well, don't worry, sister, leave this matter to me!" Ming'er patted her chest and agreed.

In the evening, Ming'er came back from the outside with a somewhat sad expression. Zhiqiu quietly told me that it turned out that she had run all over the palace's dining rooms in the afternoon, and no one knew how to make the Bailu Baifu cake.

Seeing Ming'er sitting at the table with her hands on her cheeks in a daze, she still recited words from time to time: "Bi Luo, Hu Cake, Spring Cake, Burrito...... Isn't the cake just made of noodles, but how can it be considered a hundred blessings?? It's hard to use a hundred kinds of fillings, so how big is this cake, tsk, what kind of flavor will it be?! ”

I quietly walked behind her, listened to it clearly, and was amused in my heart, slapped her suddenly, and said with a smile: "Ming'er, what do you want to do by yourself?" ”

"Oops!" Ming'er screamed, her little face turned pale, and she was dissatisfied: "Sister, what are you doing to scare me for nothing?" People have just figured out the clues. ”

"Alright, alright, can you figure out how to do it?" Seeing that she was frightened, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and reached out to stroke her back.

"I haven't thought about it yet, the main reason is that the origin of Bailu and Baifu has not been found." Ming'er bit her lip and thought about it, and then said, "I have to find someone to ask again, maybe he can know." ”

"Who are you talking about?" I wondered.

"No, it's nothing ......" Ming'er's face turned red, a little embarrassed.

Seeing that she refused to say, I didn't want to ask, but this girl's expression was too abnormal, and I was suspicious.

Turning back to talk to Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu smiled and said: "This girl has been thinking hard lately, and it may not be that she has a crush on someone." ”

Ming'er has a crush? I didn't know it, and I was amazed.

Then I paid attention to it, but I didn't see anything unusual about her, and she still had trouble every day for the Bailu Hundred Blessing Cake.

The day before the feast, Ming'er came back happily with a food box, and called it open before she entered the door: "Sister, Concubine De, take a look, this cake is good!" ”

At that time, Jingyi and I were checking the gifts we were going to give to the little princess, and when we heard the call, we both put down the objects in our hands and gathered around to see the food box in her hand.

The small cakes in the box look Yuxue cute, each cake is also lit with red plum blossom dots, Jingyi took a piece in his hand, looked at it carefully, nodded and sighed: "It looks very chic, but I don't know how to round the origin of 'Bailu Baifu'?" ”

I also asked on the side, "Ming'er, where have you been these days?" I don't see anyone. ”

"I'm going to find a master who can make cakes!" Ming'er was quick to talk and said excitedly: "Sister, we don't know that Imperial Doctor Ling not only has first-class medical skills, but also has a lot of research on ingredients!" ”

"Oh?" I was surprised: "Could it be that this cake was conceived by Imperial Physician Ling?" ”

"That's not all, but Imperial Doctor Ling has been a great help." Ming'er lowered her head and took a piece of cake and brought it to me and said with a smile: "Sister, how about tasting this cake first?" ”

I took a bite and it was soft and sweet, with a rich and long nut aroma in the filling, and it had a great taste.

"Well, this cake is really good," I said with Jingyi.

"Concubine De, this cake is wrapped with peanuts, melon seeds, black dates, longan, lilies, and fruits......" Ming'er was anxious to offer treasure.

"Well, there must be something special about using these materials, right?" I chimed in.

"My sister is right, Mr. said that peanuts are called 'immortal', melon seeds are called 'melon gourds', sugar cubes are called 'sweet honey', black dates are called 'early wealth', longan is called 'rich and extensive', plus a hundred kinds of harmony, a hundred years of good fruits, so it is called 'Bailu Baifu cake'. Ming'er crackled and said a bunch of things.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Jingyi clapped her hands and praised: "Speaking of this with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely like it, I really didn't expect Imperial Doctor Ling to have such a ability." ”
