Chapter Fifty-Six: Emerald Fish Beads

Early the next morning, Lan Xiaoqiu was just about to go out, but saw that the entrance of the marshal's mansion seemed to be as lively as a market.

Ruo Su wondered: "Which of her sects is evil?" Did you actually do something good? ”

Lan Xiaoqiu pursed her lips and smiled, she said, "Maybe I've done too much to regret things, do something good to resolve it, right?" ”

As he was talking, Hongyu turned around and saw Lan Xiaoqiu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lan Xiaoqiu and asked, "Is this a good thing, right?" Count, right? ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "It should be, right?" ”

After speaking, he put the red rain aside, and Ruo Su looked at Lan Xiaoqiu in surprise: "She's weird today." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu only laughed silently, thinking: It's okay to scare and scare those bad guys, it's really a merit.

It is said that the recipes in it also have their own stories, which have been passed down for thousands of years, and in this book, in addition to the recipes, techniques and materials, the origin of the dish is also indicated in the column of similar notes.

Lan Xiaoqiu is like reading a storybook, reading and studying one by one.

And Lan Xiaoqiu did not tell Ruosu about his and Fang Hao's plans. First, I'm afraid that she will be worried, and second, I want to surprise Ruosu.

Cheng Rong came back from other places and listened to Hongyu talk about "Treasure Recipe", and she really inquired about the origin of the book from the marshal.

After hearing this, Hongyu gritted her teeth angrily and stomped her feet: "I didn't expect that I was tricked by that dead girl." ”

Cheng Rong pulled Hongyu: "That girl looks ghostly, different from Ruo Suke, we have to guard against her in the future." ”

Hongyu narrowed her eyes: "It's not okay, we have to drive her out of the Marshal's Mansion." No, I'm going to let her die. After Hongyu finished speaking, Cheng Rong attached her ears: "I heard that Lan Xiaoqiu also has a role in being the imperial chef at the emperor's birthday banquet, as long as we think of a way, it will not be difficult for her not to be in a different place." ”

At this time, Lan Xiaoqiu, who was in Ruosu's room, sneezed fiercely, and Ruosu said with concern: "Sister, are you catching a cold?" When it's cold, pay more attention to your body. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu saw that Ruosu cared about herself so much, and was moved: "I'm fine, but you, you seem to have been sleeping hard lately, and your eyes are not energetic." ”

Ruo Su looked at the window and sighed: "Now I want to gallop the field and kill the enemy with the soldiers, instead of staying in this boudoir and waiting for someone I hate to marry." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu held Ruosu's hand: "Maybe things will take a turn for the better, and everything will be variable." ”

Ruo Su pursed her lips and looked at Lan Xiaoqiu: "If I didn't have my sister, I really don't know how to survive my life, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Lan Xiaoqiu saw that Ruosu wanted to speak and stopped, and Ruosu interrupted again: "Sister, why don't you make me pastries to eat, I'm afraid that if I get married in the future, I won't have a chance to eat it." ”

"Nonsense, how could it be. As long as you want to eat, I will make it for you. Lan Xiaoqiu only felt that Ruosu was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, and she didn't know that Ruosu was slowly walking towards the bottomless abyss.

Lan Xiaoqiu went to the kitchen to make pastries, and Ruosu lifted the floor in the house, and she walked straight down.

By the time Lan Xiaoqiu entered the door with the finished pastry, Ruosu was already sitting at the table.

"Sister, what is this? It's beautiful. Ruosu looked at Lan Xiaoqiu's cake.

"This is a jam cake, I used star fruit sauce in it, you can taste it." Lan Xiaoqiu put the tender yellow cake in front of Ruosu.

Ruosu took a piece and took a bite, and instantly the star fruit sauce overflowed in his mouth, and the fragrance of star fruit mixed with the aroma of the cake, so that Ruosu continued to suck the jam in the cake.

"Ruosu, why are your sleeves dirty?" Lan Xiaoqiu found that there was a stain on Ruosu's cuffs, Ruosu looked a little panicked, and hurriedly patted the cuffs: "I don't know where to get it, so my sister smiled." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu remembered that before she went to the kitchen, Ruosu didn't have this stain on her cuffs. Seeing Ruosu's prevarication, he didn't ask any more.

In fact, there has always been a hidden tunnel in Ruosu's room, which is used for refuge, but Lan Xiaoqiu does not know.

All this time, there was nothing in the tunnel except for old tables and chairs. But a few days ago, Ruo Su locked a person in, and that person was Ruyun's senior brother Gale. She secretly vowed to avenge her biological mother, and the gale was Ruyun's weakness, with him, Ruosu had hope of revenge.

Ruosu has gone crazy, and she doesn't want anything for revenge. In addition, the wedding date is approaching, and she wants to let the queen and Ruyun return to the west before the big wedding to pay tribute to her biological mother Ziyu.

But Lan Xiaoqiu didn't know all this, she even fantasized that she would use the emperor's birthday banquet to let Ruosu fulfill her wish to withdraw from the marriage and be an ordinary and happy woman.

It seems that Ruosu and Lan Xiaoqiu have formed two opposite paths, but both of them lead to darkness.

Lan Xiaoqiu set the recipe - jade fish beads.

This dish also has a touching story, according to legend, there is a princess of a country who fell in love with a commoner, and the king wanted to marry the princess to the prime minister at that time, in order to make the princess die, the king came up with this dish as the title, let the prime minister and the commoner each make a jade fish bead to the princess.

The prime minister replaced all the fish balls with crystal round pearls, and the big bowl of jade fish beads was amazing, and they all said that it was a priceless dish, which showed the mind of the princess.

But the jade fish beads made by civilians are plain, and ordinary fish balls float in the light soup.

The king said to his daughter, "Do you see that? The prime minister of this king is the one who cares most about you. ”

But the princess insisted on tasting them, and the king was afraid: "You can't eat pearls, and if you eat them, you will die." ”

The princess nodded: "Father, you know that this is a dish, of course it is for people to eat." But if the food is only for people to see, it would be too contrived, isn't it? You ordered a dish, but the prime minister brought something that looked good or not, which is completely contrary to its meaning. Since you said that pearls can't be eaten, let's just drink soup. ”

The king was speechless, and the father and daughter took a sip of the soup, which tasted nothing. It turned out that the prime minister never thought that the princess and the king would taste the pearl soup, and there were no ingredients in the soup.

When the king and the princess tasted the commoners' soup, they felt the intentions of the commoners, because they knew that the princess was coughing up phlegm, and the commoners added lilies and almond fruits to the fish balls, and the faint fragrance of lilies could enhance the freshness of the fish balls. Although the soup is crystal clear, it is extremely delicious.

The princess looked at the two bowls of jade fish beads and said, "One bowl is beautiful but not edible, and one bowl is delicious but can't last long." ”

At this time, the commoner knelt down and said: "The grass people originally cooked for the princess every day, as long as the princess is not tired of eating, the grass people will cook it for the princess every day." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people were in an uproar, and the prime minister also knelt down and said: "As long as the princess wants to eat, Weichen will ask cooks from all over the world to cook food for the princess. ”

But the princess stood up and went to her father, and said, "But none of the cooks will add lilies and almond fruit to them." ”

Only then did the king realize something, and he immediately asked the princess and the prime minister to break off the marriage contract and re-marry the princess to the commoners. The crowd cheered, and the princess lived happily ever after.

Lan Xiaoqiu felt that if he took this opportunity to tell such a story to the emperor, coupled with Ruosu's matter, maybe Ruosu would still have the hope of breaking off the marriage contract with Fang Xu.

With his mind already decided, Lan Xiaoqiu began to cook dishes according to the recipe.

Because the rule of the Qi Dynasty is that the dishes that will appear on the emperor's birthday cannot be revealed to the people, so as to prevent people with malicious intentions from making a big fuss about it. So Lan Xiaoqiu didn't tell Fang Hao what he thought, he just devoted himself to research, hoping to make the dish well.

And Lan Xiaoqiu exercised herself to make this dish every day, and was naturally recognized by the hearted red rain. She also began to think about how to use this dish to make Lan Xiaoqiu offend the royal family, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart.

In the past few days, Ruosu has also quickened her pace, and she walked down the basement, where the gale was hanging on the wall like a roast duck.

"Have you thought about it?" Ruosu had a straight face, very serious.

"We've been separated for twenty years, and my sister won't believe me. She always obeyed the words of the queen mother, how could my appearance shake her. ”

"I know you love each other, as long as you can convince Ruyun Xing to assassinate the queen mother, I will let you find a quiet place to spend the rest of your life." Ruosu drew his sword: "If you don't comply, I will find a way to kill them, and then come back to deal with you, if I fail to assassinate, I don't think anyone will know that there is still a person under my room, and you will starve to death at that time." ”

Ruyun's senior brother seemed to think for a while: "You really want us to elope?" ”

Ruosu nodded: "As long as you don't play tricks, even if you don't succeed, I will arrange everything." ”

"I'll try it, I'm afraid that my sister won't believe me." Gale seemed to be a compromise.

"Do as I say, just say that your master was killed by the queen mother, and she will believe you." Ruo Suda heard about the mysterious death of the Qilin ancestor, and wanted to use this to separate the relationship between the queen and Ruyun.

Finally, the senior brother agreed to Ruosu's words, and Ruosu fed him a pill and said, "Don't blame me, as long as you do what we agreed, this pill won't attack." ”

At dusk, in the majestic palace, Ruyun served the queen to wash and change her clothes, and took off her makeup, the queen's face was still beautiful, and she couldn't tell that she was a woman with an eighteen-year-old son.

The queen held her head: "Ruyun, I heard that this emperor's birthday banquet, Lan Xiaoqiu will also participate?" ”

Ruyun seemed to be stunned, she almost forgot about Lan Xiaoqiu: "What does the queen mother command?" "After following the queen for so long, what the queen thinks in her heart is clear.

"This palace always thinks that this Lan Xiaoqiu is inappropriate, you go to find out what dishes she wants to offer to the emperor this year, and this palace heard that Ruosu made a fuss on the street?" It seems that nothing in the capital can be hidden from the queen.

Ruyun nodded: "It seems that the prince said something to Ruosu, but the prince doesn't like Ruyun, and his subordinates are very tight." ”
