Chapter Twenty-Eight: Golden Silk and Silver Fish Rice Soup
"Sister, kneel down! This palace is lacking! The queen turned around indifferently and turned her back to Concubine Zhao, "Qiu Tian, stay in the palace and comfort the palace!" ”
"Hey......" The queen helped her head and sighed lightly, and Mama Li said faintly on the side: "The queen mother is compassionate, and she is already sympathetic to Mama Ji is an old man in the palace, otherwise according to the laws of the harem, this Mama Ji would have been rewarded with a foot of white silk and a pot of wine." ”
Concubine Zhao listened to the queen's eviction order and looked at her angrily, and finally let people help Mama Ji to leave the Luxury Fragrance Palace, and Song Guiren saw that Concubine Zhao was also suffering a loss here, so she hurriedly followed and left, so as to avoid getting angry.
Mama Li saw that everyone had left the Luxury Fragrance Palace, so she asked the palace people in the palace to retreat, and when the queen heard the palace door closed, she hurriedly walked to Qiu Tian, patted the shoe prints on Qiu Tian's body, and asked with pity in her eyes: "Xiao Jiu, how is it?" ”
"Where's the injury?" The queen looked at Qiu Tian nervously, and Qiu Tian nodded hurriedly, "It hurts!" ”
"Where does it hurt?" The queen looked at Qiu Tian, and then instructed Mama Li, "Mama Li, wear the imperial doctor!" ”
"No, no, no......" Qiu Tian hurriedly stopped, she took the queen's hand, "Niangniang, the courtier's daughter hurts, it hurts...... Why did Niangniang suffer so much in the palace, and she was still able to tell us that it was okay. Qiu family affairs Niangniang's maiden family, we not only rely on Niangniang, but the Qiu family is also Niangniang's support. ”
The queen sighed helplessly, "The popular favorite concubine is just a generation after generation, and you don't need to pay attention to it at all." ”
"! The courtiers feel sorry for you......" Qiu Tian hugged the queen very doggedly at the moment, and the queen patted Qiu Tian's head, "You little slippery head, let Bengong Kong worry about you......"
"Hey, hey!" Qiu Tian smiled mischievously, looked at the queen, and said in her heart: The queen mother who has no heirs is the most bullied......
The queen looked at Qiu Tian distressedly, sighed lightly, and said in her heart: If Xiao Jiu knew that the prince and the princess's mother in the palace were now loved.
Every prince and princess is fostered in the Chaotian Hall and the Yuxing Palace, and the multiple forces behind each prince and princess are involved in each other and restrain each other, so that there is a peaceful scene today.
If His Majesty knew that she had an heir, I am afraid that she would never see Xiao Jiu again......
After all these twists and turns, time passed like a white horse, and it was time for dinner.
Qiu Tian looked at the 12 hard dishes on the table, divided into camps with 3 cold dishes, 6 hot dishes and 3 pastries, she looked at the dishes curiously and asked, "Niangniang, these dishes you eat every day are almost in time for the Qiu family's family banquet." ”
"Nonsense!" The queen glared at Qiu Tian with a smile, and the jujube-red chopsticks in her hand sandwiched a piece of meat for her, "This pot of meat is very good, you eat more." ”
Qiu Tian nodded, still putting the pot wrapped meat into her mouth, the sweet and sour taste opened the taste buds, the soft and rotten meat slices broke away from the shell and almost melted in her mouth, she happily ate two mouthfuls of white rice, but her eyes stopped at the queen after just drinking a small bowl of white fungus soup and stopped moving her chopsticks, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"There are no outsiders in the palace, just return my aunt." The queen looked at Qiu Tian and said slowly, for fear that Qiu Tian would not be able to hear clearly, and Qiu Tian's attention was not here at all, but asked Mama Li, who was waiting for dinner, "Mama, has Niangniang always eaten so little?" ”
"Miss Qiu, Niangniang has eaten an extra bowl of white fungus soup today than usual, and the queen doesn't need dinner in the past." Mama Li said honestly, but the queen was slightly annoyed, "Mama Li talks a lot about you." ”
At this moment, Qiu Tian found that the queen was a little thin and out of shape, even though she was covered by rouge, her facial features were not plump enough, and she still lacked the beauty of a close-up look.
"Niangniang, Xiao Jiu has recently learned cooking, why don't I make you a taste?" She swallowed the pot wrapped meat in her mouth, but the queen frowned lightly and was about to refuse, but Qiu Tian splashed out shamelessly, hugged the queen's arm and said coquettishly: "Auntie, you can taste it!" Daddy tasted the dishes I made and praised them. ”
"Hmm...... Aunt ......" Qiu Tian called out to the queen sweetly, and the queen had no choice but to surrender, "Then try it!" ”
"Mama Li took me to the imperial dining room!" Qiu Tian rolled up her sleeves, and Mama Li smiled: "No! Miss Qiu, the queen has a small kitchen. ”
Qiu Tian nodded hurriedly, "Auntie, you're waiting to eat the delicacies I made for you!" She grimaced at the queen, then turned around and left with Mama Li, and the queen smiled and shook her head, and Mama Qiu, who was waiting on the side, wiped the corners of her eyes with satisfaction, "Miss Qiu, it is really the queen's lucky star." ”
"Mama Qiu!" The queen scolded lightly, but the next second sighed: "Xiao Jiu feels so good by her side......"
On the other hand, Qiu Tian followed Mama Li into the queen's special kitchen, but since there were not many fresh vegetables in the kitchen, she chose winter bamboo shoots, carrots, coriander, eggs, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp and a big black fish.
She fastened her apron and gave it to a little maid in the kitchenette to help her light the stove, while she scooped up the big black fish from the cold water and put it on the cutting board.
Because the weather was too cold, the big black fish not only lost its resistance when it was frozen, but even Qiu Tian's white hands were red from the cold, but the movements on his hands were still sharp.
A knife back knocks out the big black fish, a long slip reverse shovel fish scales, a knife side cut out the heart, a knife cut into fish meat, just four knives between the effort, the big black fish was unloaded eight pieces, one by one on the cutting board.
Qiu Tian took the bones and head of the big black fish and threw them into the black casserole and fried them until browned, then poured in the mountain spring water, and put in the spice packets and green onions and ginger to boil together in the pot, and then returned to the cutting board to pick out the thorns in the fish one by one, quickly cut them into meat slices, and finally chopped into minced meat and put them in a bowl for later use.
At the same time, she prepared the minced mushrooms, carrots, winter bamboo shoots, and coriander that the palace people helped her chop in the small kitchen, and she poured the minced fish and meat into a larger basin with the minced mushrooms, carrots, winter bamboo shoots, and coriander, and poured a teaspoon of oil and a teaspoon of sesame oil, as well as a little salt, cooking wine, ginger juice, egg white, and pepper to remove the freshness of the soul.
Finally, after a quick stirring, she smashes the fish until it slowly rebounds and becomes elastic, then she quickly kneades them into small balls and spoons them into a warm pot of hot water.
The flat and long fish meat suddenly spread out in the hot water, and Mama Li looked at the fish in the hot water pot like small fish, "It's amazing!" The old slave had lived for so long, and it was the first time he had seen this fish move like a small fish. ”
Qiu Tian smiled and said nothing, silently making Mama Li mistakenly think that the flat and long was a small fish, but it was not caused by her immature skills.
When the meaning of all the fish has become "small fish" has surfaced, Qiu Tian scoops it up like cold water, making the meat more crispy, and the fish soup in the black casserole is also boiled milky white.
She smelled the slightly fragrant fish soup, carefully filtered the bones and impurities, poured in a little starch water that had thickened it, made a bright soup, and poured in the remaining egg yolk in the pot, the egg liquid was slowly stirred in the black casserole and turned into a long golden strip, mixed with the milky white soup.
And at this moment, she poured the "small fish and rice" into the black casserole, sprinkled a handful of salt, coriander and sesame oil, and quickly closed it, "Come on!" Hurry up and go to the Hall of Luxury Incense! ”
When Mama Li heard Qiu Tian say this, the second brother looked at her confusedly, "Miss Qiu, what is this?" ”
"Mama Li, you can come with me......" Qiu Tian responded to Mama Li's words, took off her apron, and hurried to the Luxury Fragrance Hall without putting on a small padded jacket, and it happened that the emperor Lao Er watched Qiu Tian run from the queen's small kitchen to the Luxury Fragrance Hall from a distance, and asked curiously but knowingly: "That's?" ”
"Stay away! That is the daughter of the uncle of the country, who was called to the palace to accompany the queen! ”
"Qiu Tian!" The old emperor rubbed his temples, "Today's palace made my harem unpeaceful, why is it so hot now?" ”
The old eunuch beside him hurriedly nodded and agreed, but he didn't want the emperor to suddenly say, "Go and see what's going on?" ”
"Slaves obey!" When the old eunuch was about to shout, he was knocked on the door of his head by the emperor, "What is it called!" Go quietly ......" The old eunuch looked at his master in confusion and sat down, and hurriedly followed the emperor, "Your Majesty, ...... you are"
"Tonight is going to Concubine Zhao's ......," the emperor thought for a while, "It's just that I'm busy with official business, so I'll go later." The old eunuch hurriedly asked the little eunuch beside him to talk to Concubine Zhao, and he followed the emperor to the door of the Luxury Fragrance Palace.
The old eunuch looked at the emperor who suddenly stopped, "Your Majesty, this is ......"
"What reason are I thinking......" The emperor touched his beard, and looked up at the door of the musk hall for a long time, but suddenly a burst of laughter broke into his ears, which made the laughter as crisp as a silver bell, he knew very well who it belonged to, which made him even more curious about why he was laughing?
On the other hand, in the Musk Palace, the queen looked at the small fish and rice in the bowl in surprise, and asked with a smile: "Why do you know this dish?" It was your father who told you that when I was a child, I loved to eat gold and silver fish and rice soup? ”
"This ......" Qiu Tian smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of her head, this fish and rice soup was completely made by her because of the limitation of ingredients, she nodded stubbornly.
Mama Qiu on the side suddenly spoke: "The queen used to like the fish and rice soup that Uncle Guo made for her the most, and I didn't expect Miss Qiu to make this soup." ”
"I haven't seen fish and rice soup since I got married, and I don't know if it's the taste of the past?" The queen nodded shyly, and Qiu Tian hurriedly changed the topic, "Then the lady is grateful to you for tasting it, see if it's right?" ”
"If the mother feels embarrassed, I'll sing you a song!" Qiu Tian didn't wait for the queen to agree, and hurriedly sang: "I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to wait for the white moonlight with you......"
