The queen mother looked at Yu Xiaocao with questions in her eyes. Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "Clams are a kind of sea shells, which are delicious, have high nutritional value, have the effect of deficiency supplementation, and have a certain therapeutic effect on dysentery. ”

"Seashells? The capital is two days away from the seaside and the fast horse can only go back and forth, and the emperor has to eat seafood porridge for lunch, which is a bit unrealistic! The queen frowned, blaming herself for not being able to satisfy the emperor.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Dry goods store, there should be a seller of razor clams." Cooking porridge after soaking it back also has a certain effect. However, it doesn't work as well as fresh razor clams. ”

Although Zhu Junfan was usually a little harsh with the little prince, he was still very concerned about his son's illness, and when he heard this, he immediately ordered: "Su Ran, order someone to go to the beach to buy razor clams and come back!" You personally go out of the palace and go to the Zhou family's fresh food shop to buy dried razor clams. Be sure to let the emperor drink seafood porridge before dinner. ”

The little prince pursed his lips and whispered, "What about lunch?" You won't let me drink white porridge, will you? It doesn't taste like anything, it's hard to drink......"

The queen comforted softly: "Doctor Yu said that you can eat it with cold purslane." Your stomach is not suitable for anything else right now. ”

"What about the decoction? Don't I need to take the bitter decoction? The little prince puffed out his mouth and looked at Yu Xiaocao with expectant eyes, looking very cute.

Yu Xiaocao couldn't resist the idea of pinching the little guy's face, nodded and said, "If your stomach doesn't hurt much in the afternoon, and you don't run to the thatched house too much, you don't need to take medicine, just eat purslane candy cubes!" ”

The little prince touched his little belly, and when he heard that he didn't need to drink bitter medicine, he said happily: "My belly hasn't hurt for a while." Does this mean that my illness is getting better? ”

"It's almost ready!! Eat sugar cubes for a few more days to consolidate and consolidate ......" Yu Xiaocao is very patient with children. For sick children, the little prince does not cry or make trouble, and he is a very sensible and cooperative little patient. Sure enough, the royal children grew up earlier.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has come to visit the little prince with the little princess!" The great eunuch in Jingyang Palace was prosperous, with his chest and back hunched, and came to pay respectful advice.

The white face is beardless, the eyebrows and eyes are respectful, and there is a humble smile that has not changed for thousands of years, as if the chest can never be straightened - this is the character of the eunuch in Yu Xiaocao's cognition. Su Ran's polite manners, neither humble nor arrogant, honor and disgrace are not shocked, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the word "eunuch".

Concubine Li's twenty-year-old appearance, dressed in a palace dress with a light green butterfly and a flower pattern, embroidered with layers of patterns on the wide hem, the wind bun shows her sideburns, the moth eyebrows are lightly swept, and the lips are only lightly coated with a layer of rouge, and the whole person looks like an elegant autumn chrysanthemum, which is very charming.

The little girl she was holding in her hand was a little smaller than the little prince, with pink makeup and jade, and a light pink dress with gold and gold lines, which showed that her skin was like snow. The whole villain is like a little dumpling, very cute.

The three or four-year-old little girl followed her mother to greet her father and queen mother decently, and then Wenwen stood quietly in front of the hospital bed, and spoke to the little prince in a milky voice: "Brother Huang, are you getting better?" ”

The little prince has a good relationship with this one sister, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, except for the occasional pain in the belly, there is no other feeling!" ”

"My stomach hurts, let the queen mother rub it. Last time, Danyi ate and had a stomachache, so it would be good for the mother to rub it......" The little princess Zhu Danyi looked at the royal brother cutely, and seriously proposed a "solution".

"My sister is greedy again? must have been stealing food behind Concubine Li's back. Don't do this again in the future, I can't move in bed, it's the consequence of eating indiscriminately! The two little things spoke to each other in a decent manner.

The emperor is handsome, the queen is graceful and luxurious, Concubine Li is elegant and beautiful, their children's appearances are naturally first-class, plus they are young and young, and they speak with a milky voice, they are really a pair of cute things. A smile unconsciously bloomed on Yu Xiaocao's face.

Xia Zi, the palace maid who came back from the imperial dining room, said with an embarrassed face: "The queen mother, the cooks in the imperial dining room, I haven't seen purslane, and I don't know how to cook." You see......"

The queen mother set her eyes on Yu Xiaocao, and said in a sincere voice: "Xiaocao, it seems that I am going to trouble you again......"

Concubine Li's face was surprised, when had the queen been so polite to people? The other party is still a teenager. What's so special about this little girl?

Zhu Junfan solved her confusion and said: "The little prince was able to pick up a small life, thanks to this little grass!" She is good at pediatric incurable diseases......"

When Concubine Li heard this, she had her own plans in her heart. To be recognized by both the emperor and the queen, there must be real talent and real learning. Children are young, it is inevitable that they will have a headache and brain fever, and being able to make friends with a doctor who is good at pediatrics will also be good for the little princess in the future. Thinking about it like this, Concubine Li looked at Yu Xiaocao's gaze, with a little politeness and sincerity.

After Yu Xiaocao saluted the three giants in the palace, he followed Xia Zi to the imperial dining room. Out of Jingyang Palace, Yu Xiaocao's footsteps became brisk, she breathed the free air deeply, in front of the emperor and queen, it was too depressing, there is wood? She felt as if she was tied hand and foot, and she had to think twice about what she did. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this taste is indeed uncomfortable!

When I arrived at the imperial dining room, the purslane was ready, and it was Chunhong who took a few eunuchs and palace maids to pick it back, and it was washed clean and set aside.

Yu Xiaocao first soaked the purslane with boiling water, removed the green gas, washed off the mucus with water after taking it out, and chopped it for later use. Heat the pot, put a little sesame oil, stir-fry the purslane until fragrant, add a little refined salt to taste, and set aside.

Wash the clean japonica rice, put it in a casserole, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, add the fried purslane, cook over low heat until soft and glutinous, and you can get out of the pot.

When the purslane porridge was simmered over low heat, the purslane was made cold. This is relatively simple, that is, blanch the purslane with boiling water. Wash the mucus several times with clean water and cut it into sections and place it on a plate. Add a pinch of salt, garlic juice and sesame oil to the mixing board, and you're good to go!

As soon as the purslane porridge was ready, the Emperor Taishang appeared at the door of the imperial dining room and looked inside. There was a little eunuch who helped the cook with sharp eyes, found him, and then knelt in the imperial dining room. Yu Xiaocao also knelt down in a daze.

"Arise, all of you! What to do and what to do!! The Emperor Taishang found Yu Xiaocao in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he came over with a smile.

Glancing at the food box Xia Zi was holding beside her, the Emperor Taishang coughed lightly and asked, "Is this the meal made by Xiaocao Girl herself?" ”

Xia Zi hurriedly replied: "Back to the Emperor, yes!" ”

Emperor Taishang stared at the food box, thinking about how to open his mouth and let Xia Zi leave the food box, Yu Xiaocao seemed to see through his thoughts, and said: "Emperor Taishang, the little prince can't eat anything else now, the folk girl made purslane porridge, and cold purslane, which has a good auxiliary effect on the recovery of dysentery." ”

The Emperor Taishang was busy with a straight face, nodded and said, "The little prince hasn't eaten lunch yet?" Why don't you send it to you quickly? If you starve my good great-grandson, can you afford it? ”

Xia Zi was so frightened that she trembled all over, and hurriedly left with the food box in her hand. The Emperor Taishang was really moody, and in front of him in the future, his skin would be tighter.

When the Emperor Taishang saw Yu Xiaocao turn around and was about to leave, he hurriedly gave the accompanying guards a look. The guard stretched out his hand to stop Yu Xiaocao. Yu Xiaocao looked back at the Emperor Taishang in surprise.

The Emperor Taishang coughed embarrassedly twice and said, "Girl, are you interested in opening a braised restaurant in the capital?" Your craftsmanship of braised pig's head is so good, it's too wasteful not to open a braised vegetable shop! ”

Yu Xiaocao thought about it seriously, shook her head lightly and said: "To tell you the truth, don't hide it from the emperor, although the people's daughter intends to open a braised vegetable shop, she does not plan to open it in the capital." ”

The Emperor Taishang frowned, and asked in some surprise, "Why?" Rich people in the capital, grab a lot of them on the street, and there is a lot of market for opening a braised vegetable shop in the capital!! ”

"But not all nobles, like the emperor, like you, like braised pig's head! Many powerful families in Beijing eat pork as a crude food. Most of the braised vegetables in our family are pig's head and pig water as ingredients, even if the taste is good, those powerful families with good faces, for fear of being ridiculed by others for their own vulgar food, will definitely not buy it. Even, some people will ridicule those who buy braised vegetables, saying that braised pig's head is a food eaten by poor ghosts......"

Yu Xiaocao thought about it a lot, it was okay for the nouveau riche who was born in the middle of the court to be reckless and commoners, and those families who had been in the family for many years cherished their feathers and were vassally elegant, and they would not become one of the customers considered by their pickled vegetable shop.

The Emperor Taishang sneered at those fake families, what to pretend, many noble families have gone through hundreds of years, and are gradually declining, and they are still holding shelves, who to see? What's wrong with eating pork? What's wrong with liking to eat braised pig's head and large intestine? Lao Tzu is the emperor, he can eat it, but they can't eat it? What food do poor people eat? Who dares to say that Lao Tzu is a poor ghost?

"Little grass girl, let's discuss the matter of opening a store later! You see, there happens to be a pig's head in the imperial dining room, can you help bring it out? "The Emperor Taishang is greedy, and specially ordered the pig's head to be prepared in the imperial dining room.

Although the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen marinated pig's head is not as good as Yu Xiaocao, after all, it is good to have Xiaocao's recipe, and there is no fish and shrimp. The emperor, who loves to eat braised pig's head, will let the imperial dining room braised once a month and beat the tooth sacrifice.

Yu Xiaocao saw that the pig's head and various seasonings were prepared, and it didn't take much effort, so he took the pig's head out easily. The pig's head is filled with all kinds of marinades, put it in a pot and simmer over low heat, and by the time it is time for dinner, it is almost done.

She considered that the Emperor Taishang was old and a little overweight, and she was afraid that he would have symptoms of three highs, so she put three drops of spirit stone liquid into the pot when everyone was not paying attention. In this way, the marinated pig's head tastes better and is beneficial to the body.
