Chapter 20: The Olive Branch
When I came to the small kitchen, I saw that the grass carp was fresh today, so I chose the fattest one, cut the fish into double flying slices, put ginger, egg white, oil and salt and grasped well, and put it aside to marinate.
Then I took the soaked fragrant rice and put it in a casserole, and put a plate of chestnut pumpkin in the steamer.
When the heat is boiled, cut a handful of tender bamboo shoots, blanch them with hot water to remove the bitterness, put the fresh shrimp in the pot and stir-fry over high heat until golden, put the bamboo shoots in, drip a few drops of sesame oil, sprinkle a little salt, a few sesame seeds, and a piece of bamboo shoots and shredded shrimp is ready.
Shred the carrots, beat the eggs, pour in a little milk, put salt and flour and stir into a paste, fry them into golden yellow cakes in a pan, and serve them in an azure porcelain plate, which makes people salivate.
Boil the fragrant rice until it is hot, put the fish fillet in while it is hot, blanch the fish meat with the residual temperature of the porridge, and then sprinkle a handful of chives while it is hot, and the fragrant rice and fish fillet porridge is done.
The thick white rice porridge, the tender green bamboo shoots, and the golden cakes are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.
Then take two fresh cucumbers, burn some sesame oil and splash it, crisp raw salty and delicious, swallow a stream of sweetness, and sesame oil stimulates the taste buds, it is best to accompany the meal.
Concubine Rong really moved her index finger, took a bite of the fish fillet porridge first, the entrance was sweet, the fragrance was not fishy, and she nodded and praised: "This palace has really picked up a treasure by summoning you into the inner hall, this craft has to make those cooks in the imperial dining room die!" ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of gherkins: "This pickled melon is also good, crisp and refreshing, not like the imperial dining room, pickled cucumbers into eggplant-like!" ”
Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Mo Hong shrugged his little nose and asked, "Concubine Rong, is it really that delicious?" ”
He swallowed as he spoke.
She had only drunk half a bowl of soup in the morning, which would make her a little hungry when she smelled good, and the little golden pie looked delicious.
Mo Ying saw that her sister was about to be embarrassed again, so she hurriedly dragged her secretly.
Concubine Rong saw that the little girl's greedy saliva was about to flow out, and said with a smile: "Does Hong'er want to taste it too?" Come, sit down and eat with Mother Rong! ”
Mo Hong grinned happily: "Thank you, Mother Rong!" ”
Seeing this, Mo Ying wanted to stop it, but when she came, her mother instructed them to thank them and hurry back, this guy is so good, he really kicked his calves and climbed away on the stool!
But in front of Concubine Rong, she couldn't pull Mo Hong down, and her little face turned red anxiously.
Su Xiaojiu added two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Mo Ying looking at her sister and stopped talking, she persuaded: "The third princess should also sit, you came so early, you must not have eaten anything, don't be hungry." ”
Mo Ying touched her stomach, the mutton soup made in the imperial dining room this morning was hot and greasy, and she only drank half a bowl, which would indeed be a little hungry.
After all, a child who is only a few years old still can't resist the temptation of food, Su Xiaojiu persuaded him, and then sat down with a twist.
Three beautiful women, one big, two small, sat around the table and ate breakfast comfortably, and the picture was surprisingly harmonious.
Mo Ying eats compared to Sven, drinking fish fillet porridge in small sips, looking happy, it seems that this porridge is very good for her appetite.
And Mo Hong needless to say, although she is young, she eats by herself very neatly, her little cheeks are bulging, and she doesn't forget to praise while eating: "It's so good to eat seven (eat)!" It's really (yes) too good to provoke (eat)! ”
Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat more, if it's not enough, take it again!" ”
"Concubine Rong, it's so good that you borrowed (here), can I (come) often in the future?"
Not only is it fun, but the food is delicious, just like today's porridge, which she had never eaten before.
The pumpkin was also very sweet, with a creamy taste like a chestnut, and she ate it with great satisfaction, and her little legs swayed happily.
Mo Ying saw that her sister had to inch in, for fear of provoking Concubine Rong's displeasure, but found that there was no impatience on her face, Rao is sister's mouth was full of stuff, and her words were slurred, but she understood, and replied with a smile: "Okay, you can come and play at any time, Concubine Rong opens the door to welcome you~"
is so dazzling and gentle, there is no need for my mother to worry about it~~~
There was a baby's babbling sound from the back of the hall, and it was Yuna who woke up.
When Aunt Zhang carried him out, he was yawning with his mouth open, his sleepy eyes were cute and cute, and suddenly he saw two more young ladies in the house, and the anxiety in his eyes instantly turned into excitement, staring at them back and forth, and his mouth kept making whining sounds.
Mo Hong had never seen a baby younger than himself, and he also looked at Yun'er with curiosity.
At the banquet that day, she sat at the end with Concubine Zhuang, and later went to the garden to play, and did not see Yun'er in Aunt Zhang's arms.
"Mother Rong, is this your little baby? He's so small! ”
"That's right, his name is Yun'er, he is your little brother, you have to take care of him in the future~~~"
She put down the pumpkin, pouted her little butt and climbed down from the stool, ran to Aunt Zhang's side and looked up at Yun'er, the little milk ball lay on Aunt Zhang's shoulder and looked down at her, suddenly grinned, and a shiny saliva slipped from the corner of her mouth and dripped on Mo Hong's little round face.
touched the water on his face, and looked shocked: "Ah! It's raining baby! ”
She had just taken the pumpkin in her hand, and there were still golden crumbs on her hands, which she wiped on her face.
The children's words made Concubine Rong laugh, and then looked at her face like a cat, and the laughter was even more cheerful.
Su Xiaojiu wiped her clean with a wet handkerchief, hugged her to the stool again, and said, "The baby is drooling, and the princess was like this when she was a child!" ”
Mo Hong hurriedly covered his mouth: "Hong'er won't!" ”
Mo Ying was rarely playful, and teased: "Why not? When you first saw the pumpkin, your saliva almost flowed! ”
"Not really!" Mo Hong retorted loudly.
"There is, I saw it!"
Just when everyone was worried about whether the sisters would quarrel, the little man suddenly bent his eyes, covered his mouth and said embarrassedly: "Okay, I admit that there is a little." After thinking about it, "Actually, there are a lot of them!" ”
After saying that, he giggled first.
Aunt Zhang was amused by her: "This girl is frank!" ”
Yun'er saw that everyone was laughing, and she also showed her pink gums and laughed, and her little feet followed a cheerful kick, he was stronger than the average baby, and Aunt Zhang almost couldn't hold it.
At the end of spring, she hurriedly picked him up, and Yun'er twisted her body to find Mo Hong's figure, and laughed happily again, looking like her.
Mo Hong also discovered this, and said proudly: "Mother Rong, my brother seems to like Hong'er very much!" You see he only smiles at me~"
After speaking, he whispered in her ear: "But don't be sad, you are his mother, he must still like you first!" ”
This little imp is clever! Concubine Rong was full of joy: "Then you have to come often in the future and play with your younger brother, is it okay?" ”
Mo Hong nodded, looked at Mo Ying, and said, "Sister is coming along!" ”
Mo Ying looked at Concubine Rong carefully, and when she nodded in agreement, she was also happy, clapped her hands and said, "We can help take care of the little brother together." ”
The two dumplings were only happy to be invited, but Su Xiaojiu wondered, why did Niangniang throw an olive branch to the unfavored concubine?
