In the depths of the courtyard, Mingzhu put the lotus root stuffed with glutinous rice into the pot, added water, brown sugar and red dates to cook, and saw the cook burning the fire to urge the pot, and couldn't help asking: "When will it be good?" This is one of the only two dishes she can make, but it is only limited to stuffing glutinous rice and throwing it in a pot with sugar to boil, and she doesn't know anything else.

The cook smiled: "If the rice and lotus root are soft, it will take at least half an hour." Although Mama Zheng took the lead and arranged all the matters, no one said that the prince and the princess wanted to eat osmanthus nectar juice lotus, no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't change it, and she couldn't wait for it.

"So long?" It seems that it can't be served on the table after Yuwenchu comes out of the bath, Mingzhu is very regretful, and suddenly remembered that the drip pot she asked Yuwenchu to find someone to cook last time is already available, and she also brought it this time, just to try if it is easy to use. In order to be on the safe side, the glutinous rice lotus specially prepared two servings, one was boiled in a traditional casserole, and the other was cooked in this drip pot invented by Jiang Shanshan.

The cook lady was very surprised, turned the dew pot over and over, and called other people to come and see, feeling that this pot and the lid were more strange and beautiful than ordinary pots, how could it be so magical, and asked Mingzhu in disbelief: "Princess, is this pot really faster than ordinary pots for cooking, stewing, and cooking vegetables?" ”

"Yes, this pot is not only easy to cook with stewed meat and vegetables, but also very fragrant, and there is not much water......" Mingzhu said with a straight mouth, but in fact, there is no bottom in her heart, this pot was made by her from memory, and I don't know if Jiang Shanshan has added other tricks to it, so I will burn a few first and give it a try, if there is a problem and it is not easy to use, it will be improved.

She remembered that after Jiang Shanshan made this pot, it was very popular in Beijing for a while, and all major mansions and even restaurants were proud to have this pot and use it for cooking. Jiang Shanshan also gave this pot a nice name, called Dettol Pot. It means that the lid of the pot is attached to the pot, and it looks like a dew drop that is about to drop? But the people outside don't call it that, but call it Jiang's pot.

Later, Jiang Shanshan opened a shop to sell this kind of pot, which was very expensive, but everyone in Beijing flocked to it. If someone is too expensive, the guy in the shop will say, our princess is not short of this money, but it is just for the convenience of everyone, if it is not for the fact that there are too many people in the major mansions asking for pots, every gift is far beyond the value of the pot, and if you don't accept it, you will offend people, and our princess is not willing to open this shop!

Having said that, this pot is really convenient, and I hope that these pots can be fired to get this osmanthus nectar lotus root out quickly. Thinking that Yu Wenchu took her for a leisurely walk on the ridge today, and then gently taught her those ways of behaving in the world, Mingzhu couldn't wait to let him taste her craftsmanship as soon as possible. The ancients said well, only by repaying her body is that she is already his, so she can only add another dish that she has done with all her heart.

The osmanthus nectar lotus root was put on the pot, and a little girl came over to say: "Princess, Your Highness invites you over." ”

Mingzhu hurriedly dressed and walked out, first pulled up her sleeves and sniffed the smell, and then asked Su Jin to smell: "You don't smell of kitchen fumes, right?" ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "No, no." The slave only smelled a natural body fragrance. "The people in the kitchen know that the princess is going to cook for the outside of the palace, she must be busy cleaning up the kitchen, opening the window to ventilate, who dares to stir-fry the food to make it taste? Want to die, right?

Mingzhu will be suspicious, shrug his nose again, and said dissatisfied: "Who said no?" It's clear that there is a big smell of fireworks. Thinking of Yu Wenchu holding her affectionate with the smell of fireworks, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she couldn't wait to hurry up and wash and change.

Walking to the bottom of the steps of the main house, and just as she was about to step up, the little girl hurriedly said, "Your Highness is still drinking water in the soup pool." ”

He was soaking in the soup pool, calling her to do something? Mingzhu paused, and covered up a little uncomfortably: "Presumably His Highness suddenly remembered something important to tell me." ”

Su Jin and Su Lan couldn't help but smile, and said in unison: "It must be yes, the princess is going quickly, don't let His Highness wait for a long time." The slaves would keep an eye on the kitchen and let them bring the food as soon as it was ready. ”

Mingzhu nodded solemnly, turned around and walked towards the soup pool hidden behind the house.

This soup pond is built very large, the water is also unusually deep, the sky has darkened, a few shining stars hang in the sky, and a few beautiful lotus lamps are lit around the soup pool, which looks faint and dark, and the water vapor is steaming. Yu Wenchu was swimming in the pool, and when he heard the footsteps, he plunged into the water, swam in front of her in one breath before raising his head from the water and smiling at her: "I'm tired for a day, don't you come down to bubble to relieve your fatigue?" ”

His chest was exposed above the water, and a few sparkling droplets of water dripped from his mist-soaked hair, down his cheeks, and across his Adam's apple, leaving a few sinuous marks on his textured chest...... Mingzhu saw that her liver was "pounding", swallowed a mouthful of saliva, carefully took off her socks and robe, sat down on the side of the pool, and said without words: "Is Your Highness hungry?" ”

Yu Wenchu looked at her and smiled: "The princess who knows me is also." ”

is obviously a very serious tone and attitude, but Mingzhu sounds like she feels a little improper, and she can't help but blushing and coughing twice: "The pot in the kitchen is not very easy to use, so the osmanthus nectar lotus root will probably take half an hour to get better." ”

"The pot doesn't work well?" Yuwen Chu couldn't keep up with her train of thought for a while, and was a little confused, and instantly understood that she was actually changing the topic, and then seeing her wandering eyes, she smiled, deliberately swam over to her, and said seriously: "The dignified British King's Mansion can't afford to use a good pot!" Tell me to go down ......"

Mingzhu thought he was going to punish people, and hurriedly said, "No, it has nothing to do with them." ”

Yu Wenchu put his two arms on the edge of the pool and lay on his stomach, looked at her sideways and smiled: "I mean, pass on my order to go down, let them go back to Beijing overnight, buy dozens of good pots and come back, the princess can use whichever mouth she likes, how about it?" ”

"No need." Mingzhu felt that the water vapor on his body was steaming up, and he was about to smoke her to the point that he couldn't breathe, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and said nonsense: "What I'm talking about is that under normal circumstances, it takes more than half an hour to use an ordinary pot." But if you use the drip pot that I just asked Your Highness to cook, it will be very soon. That pot, cooking doesn't use much water and oil, and it can quickly stew meat and vegetables to a good degree, saving time and effort, and it tastes very good......"
