Because she agreed with the taste of home, Hua Qingyan rolled up her sleeves and entered the small kitchen of Qingxuan Palace. Looking at the various ingredients on the board, Hua Qingyan felt that she might be the chef's life, how could she not get rid of the food for others anywhere!

But Hua Qingyan just complained about herself in her head, and she was very willing to cook food for her family.

Before, Hua Qingyan bought a lot of glutinous rice flour and fillings to go home to make mochi dumplings, but was delayed by the people of the Lao Hua family and the Lou family. Hua Qingyan looked at the ingredients on the board, and planned to pick up the shelved mochi dumplings again. And just after breakfast, if you make something else, it is estimated that the big guys will not be able to eat it, but a small snack like mochi dumplings is okay.

The Empress Dowager carried a chair and sat at the door of the small kitchen, chatting with Hua Qingyan.

"Girl, Lou Xueyang has come to the door?"

Hua Qingyan took out glutinous rice flour, purple potatoes and various sweet and greasy fillings from the food cabinet, nodded and said, "Yes, you want to win us over, let us be in the same breath as the side by side palace." ”

"And you talked about moving the grave?" The Empress Dowager's brows were already furrowed, obviously unhappy.

Hua Qingyan has already opened the jar of glutinous rice flour, and the glutinous rice flour used by the emperor is better than the one on the market outside the palace, just opening the lid and wafting out the fragrance makes Hua Qingyan very intoxicated. According to Hua Qingyan's recipe, starch is also needed to make mochi dumplings, and the imperial dining room often makes dim sum, so this kind of thing will naturally be available.

Because she ate it by herself, Hua Qingyan only took two catties of glutinous rice flour and four catties of starch, put them in a large basin on the side, and stirred them with water, "The relocation of the grave was mentioned by my brother at will, and I originally just wanted to test Lou Xueyang, but I didn't expect her to agree." ”

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Lou Xueyang agreed, but he must have refused in his heart, moving his sister's grave back is tantamount to acknowledging Yaozong's identity, that is, to tell everyone that Yaozong has the qualifications to inherit the palace side by side." ”

The small kitchen in Qingxuan Hall is quite large, but almost half of the palace maids gathered in the kitchen and came to Hua Qingyan's side, as if they wanted to learn how to make mochi from Hua Qingyan. Although there are so many palace maids here, the Empress Dowager does not shy away from speaking, "Qingyan, you have to have a few more eyes to deal with Lou Xueyang." ”

"I know."

The glutinous rice flour and starch in the pot had been stirred into a slurry, and after making sure that there were no lumps in it, Hua Qingyan put the large pot into the pot and steamed it through water.

"Lou Xueyang has something to do with that honey concubine."

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words came out, Hua Qingyan's movements immediately stopped. Who is Mi Guifei, of course she knows. The Hua family all knew that although Yuan Guo was arrested and their charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason were cleared, they all knew that Yuan Guo was just a scapegoat pushed out by someone, and the one who really harmed their Hua family was the Han family where Mi Guifei was located! The Hua family didn't believe that there was no honey concubine's handwriting.

"Auntie! Look at the flowers! Xiao Xi'er rushed in from outside the hall, still holding a tulip flower in her hand. There are a lot of plants in the garden of the Qingxuan Palace, and it is indeed the season of the Tuli flowers, and it is indeed good luck that Xiao Xi'er can find a complete one.

The Empress Dowager hugged Xiao Xi'er in her arms and blew on the flower in Xiao Xi'er's hand, and the originally loose petals were blown off in an instant, and fell on Xiao Xi'er's hand in a dashing manner. Xiao Xi'er was not annoyed, but giggled.

The Empress Dowager was infected by the bright smile on Xiao Xi'er's face, and her dissatisfaction with Lou Xueyang in her heart also dispersed, "Forget it, I asked you to accompany me today, but I don't want you to listen to my old woman's nagging." Let's have some fun, but I still have something to say, but I have to guard against Mi Guifei and Lou Xueyang, these two people get together, I don't know what they can do. ”

"Auntie and grandmother don't worry, Qingyan is not stupid. Even if Qingyan is stupid, what about his father and brother, if they are also stupid, isn't there still Ah Yi? Hua Qingyan stuck out her tongue at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "You, Yi'er can cure you." ”

"No, no, no, he can't cure me." Hua Qingyan shook her head again and again, obviously disagreeing with the Queen Mother's words, "What do you want to eat with the filling?" ”

What the Empress Dowager originally wanted to say was taken away, looked at the desk, and pointed to the purple potato: "Eat purple potato." ”

Hua Qingyan prepared purple potatoes, red date paste, bean paste, sesame seeds and brown sugar, and Hua Qingyan planned to make some of each one and make a big platter. Except for the purple potatoes, the others are all finished products, Hua Qingyan picked two large purple potatoes, washed them clean, and put them in the pot to live.

There is also a big problem with making mochi, the viscosity of glutinous rice flour is large, if you get it directly by hand, it must all stick to your hands, and the appearance of it is not good-looking. Therefore, Hua Qingyan needs a glove.

Hua Qingyan looked in the kitchen, and there were no disposable gloves similar to those in her previous life.

Aunt Ping saw her movements and couldn't help but ask, "County Lord, what do you want, the slave maid will help you find it." ”

Hua Qingyan thought, too, this is the Qingxuan Palace, the territory of the Empress Dowager, and Aunt Ping, as a big girl, naturally knows better than herself what is here. Hua Qingyan told Aunt Ping about her needs, but found that Aunt Ping frowned. Hua Qingyan instantly felt that the gloves might be gone, so she could only think of other ways.

Pinggu hammered her palm and ran into her room with a smile. After a while, Aunt Ping ran over with a small baggage, "Come, see if this can be used?" ”

Aunt Ping opened the small package, and there was a pair of translucent gloves inside, Hua Qingyan unceremoniously took it over and looked at it, and pinched it again, and was surprised to find that it was made of fish skin, and I don't know whose craftsmanship can actually make fish skin into gloves.

"It works!" Hua Qingyan was overjoyed, "I didn't expect Aunt Ping to have this kind of good thing in her hands." ”

"This is the eldest lady sent to the slave maid, for many years, the slave and maid are not needed, so it has been idle, the county lord mentioned it and remembered." Pinggu smiled, looking at the glove, her eyes flashed with reminiscence, but she quickly recovered, "If you can use it, the county lord will take it, anyway, the slave and maid can't use it." ”

Hua Qingyan didn't expect this thing to be given by her grandmother, and she was a little reluctant to let it handle the ingredients in her hand. However, Aunt Ping saw Hua Qingyan's hesitation, and smiled: "County Lord, don't be careful, if the eldest lady knows that the county lord uses this thing for food, she will definitely be very happy!" ”

"Take it and use it, it's still there anyway." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, looking at the hesitant Hua Qingyan and said with disgust, "When did you become such a mother-in-law, let you use it!" ”

The Empress Dowager has already spoken, how dare Hua Qingyan disobey! Hurriedly took the gloves and got busy.

The water in the pot had been boiling for nearly two quarters of an hour, and Hua Qingyan looked at the powder in the basin, which had already boiled into a gelatinous form. Hua Qingyan hurriedly found a clean linen cloth, moistened it with cold water, and wanted to bring out the large basin in the water.

The palace maid on the side always paid attention to Hua Qingyan's movements, and when she saw that she was about to carry a basin from the boiling water, she was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and she couldn't care about humility, so she hurriedly pushed Hua Qingyan away and snatched the linen cloth, "County Lord!" Let's come, let's come! It's so hot, you can't burn your hands! ”

Hua Qingyan originally wanted to say that she wouldn't be burned, but the round-faced little palace maid insisted on it. Hua Qingyan had no choice but to take a back seat. The little palace maid took out the basin and put it on the board, and stood aside again.

Hua Qingyan took the chopsticks and stirred it in the plate, the white gelatinous substance, which was already very viscous, gradually solidified after being stirred, this is already a semi-finished mochi, and what to do now is to wait for it to cool down by itself. Hua Qingyan opened the wet linen cloth and covered it to prevent the surface from drying out in the following time.

At this time, the purple potato was also ripe, Hua Qingyan took out the purple potato, tore the skin and pounded the core inside into a puree, the purple sweet potato puree was very finely mashed, and soon there were no pimples. Hua Qingyan poured the water in the pot again, poured some glutinous rice flour into it and fried it.

The dry-fried glutinous rice noodles were very fragrant, and everyone in the small kitchen couldn't help but stretch their necks and smell them desperately. The Empress Dowager also couldn't sit still, and craned her neck to look inside: "How long will it take, why is Qingyan's speed of making dim sum slower today!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Hua Qing replied without replying.

It's really fast, all the things that need to be prepared have been prepared, Hua Qingyan put on a fish skin glove and smeared some vegetable oil on it slightly, so that it won't stick to the gloves for a while, and the gelatinous matter in the basin has cooled and solidified, which is very soft. Hua Qingyan pulled a ball, kneaded it round, and then flattened it in her hand, wrapped the pureed purple potato filling like a dumpling, and closed it with chopsticks, and the round mochi similar to the rice balls was good, and finally rolled it in the fried glutinous rice to make the surface evenly stained with some glutinous rice.

At this point, Hua Qingyan's movements are much faster, and she will be able to hold out a lot in a while. The Empress Dowager squeezed to Hua Qingyan's side, looked at the white round balls on the board, and took a deep breath, "Can you eat it?" ”

The Empress Dowager, who was excavated for her foodie attributes, Hua Qingyan was no longer surprised, she nodded and said, "It's okay, but eat slowly, the core inside may be a little hot." ”

The Empress Dowager was not ambiguous, and directly picked up a small mochi dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth. The small dumplings are just the amount of two bites, and you can bite into the filling in one bite, the outer layer of elastic teeth is soft, but the face is smooth and delicate with a touch of sweetness.

The Empress Dowager took the rest of the bag into her mouth and gave a thumbs up to Hua Qingyan!

After making the purple potato filling, Hua Qingyan continued to make the others, "Taste them all, if you learn it, come to help, let's make other fillings!" ”

"I've learned it, I've learned it, I'll help you, county lord!" The little palace maids washed their hands and joined the ranks of the dumplings.

Hua Qingyan and the palace maids did it, and the Queen Mother led the two children to pack on the side, and the atmosphere in the small kitchen was exceptionally warm, but soon this warmth was broken.

A palace maid hurriedly ran over, knelt at the door of the small kitchen and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Mi is here." ”
