Chapter 52: Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's cooking skills are hard to describe
Qin Shuhuang was born in the royal family, since he was a child, he married into the Gu family, although it was not smooth, but at least a few loyal maids took care of him, where did he really cook the food himself.
How to cook is only a matter of what she has seen Shilan and a few others do.
Today is the first time I have done it myself.
It turns out that Qin Shuhuang has no talent in cooking, and the meals he makes for the first time are similar to those made by most people for the first time, and it is a bit difficult to explain just in terms of appearance......
The two dishes are stir-fried lamb slices and shredded pork and chiad vegetables.
The former is fried for too long, and the mutton becomes charred and hard, while the latter is fried for too short a time, and the woad stalks are not yet cooked......
The remaining noodles were overcooked and a little mushy by the time they were served from the pan to the bowl.
Qin Shuhuang frowned and stared at the two dishes in front of him, and suddenly hesitated to give them out, but he thought that the dishes and noodles had already been mixed with medicinal juice, if he didn't send them to Brother Remnant Wang, this medicine would be wasted.
Forget it, it's hard to be Brother Wang, maybe this meal just doesn't look good, maybe it tastes good!
Qin Shuhuang was about to find a food box in the room to put the food in, when Song Yuan came.
He was identifying the incense block in the pharmacy next to him, and it didn't take long for him to smell a strange smell coming from the room, thinking that Qin Shuhuang was here, he was worried that something was going on, so he hurriedly came over to take a look.
So, as soon as he entered, he saw a messy room and food on the long table.
Song Yuan was a little surprised, could it be that the eldest princess was cooking food in the room?
Qin Shuhuang didn't expect the master to come, she was suddenly a little surprised, she walked over quickly and supported Song Yuan, "Master, why are you here?" I just made something to eat, did the master eat? If you don't have any rice, try it! ”
Song Yuan's eyes moved to the food on the long table, and when he saw the appearance of the food, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the envoy of the Song Academy, who had obviously not eaten all afternoon, immediately shook his head, "Your Highness, no...... No, I've already eaten, and I'm so full that I can't eat anything else. ”
Qin Shuhuang puffed out his mouth, showing a little daughter's demeanor in front of Song Yuan, "Okay! Then the master won't have this blessing today. ”
If the master doesn't eat it, then she will send it to her brother who is still the king to eat! Brother Remnant King will definitely not dislike it!
Song Yuan saw that Qin Shuhuang didn't insist anymore, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
This kind of good-looking meal should be enjoyed by the blessed people, who want to live a few more years with this old bone.
I don't know who will be this lucky person, who is so lucky to be able to eat the food made by the eldest princess herself.
Song Yuan coughed dryly, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "Your Highness, the old man has already found out the ingredients in the fragrant cake." ”
Hearing Song Yuan say this, Qin Shuhuang's expression immediately became grim, "Master, what's going on with this fragrant cake?" ”
Song Yuan rummaged through his collection of books in the past few days, and finally found clues in a miscellaneous record of the ancestors of the Song family.
The incense block that Qin Shuhuang gave him to distinguish the ingredients was a kind of incense.
This incense has a variety of flavors and has a certain calming effect
However, generally this kind of incense is added with cool tablets, if it is commonly used by women, it will damage the body, and it will cause a cold constitution for a long time, and it is not easy to conceive children.
Therefore, in the later period of the previous dynasty, this kind of fragrant cake was listed as a prohibited product by the imperial court and prohibited from being sold.
Zimu incense lost its market and soon disappeared, and to this day, few people know about this incense.
If the two kinds of incense cakes are mixed together and burned, they will also produce a strange effect, and the aroma will be more than three times stronger than the separate fragrance and the mother incense, and the effect of calming the nerves is better.
Everyone knows that this kind of incense is harmful to women, but they don't know that the two incense mixed together will hurt men even more.
In fact, Zixiang and mother incense are used alone, and have no effect on men, once Zixiang and mother fragrances are mixed together, it will stimulate various organs of men, and the harm is like five stones, and finally it will slowly become addictive, affecting the mind, which is an extremely terrible chronic poison.
Song Yuan now thought about it carefully, and the fragrance on the palace maid he met in the palace that day seemed to be a little different from the incense block that Qin Shuhuang gave him.
Song Yuan asked with a solemn expression, "Your Highness, where did the incense pieces you gave the old man come from?" ”
At this time, Qin Shuhuang didn't hide it from Song Yuan anymore, she clenched her fists and said coldly: "Master, this piece of incense was broken by the incense burner in the emperor's brother's bedroom. ”
Song Yuan was shocked when he heard this, if this is the case, this matter will be a big deal!
His expression was even more solemn, "Your Highness, the old man is 100% sure that this is the fragrance of the son and mother!" And it's the fragrance of the child's mother's incense! And what he smelled on that palace maid that day was the mother's incense!
Qin Shuhuang thought that as long as the imperial brother was in the Funing Hall every day, as long as Xia Qianwei was by the imperial brother's side, the imperial brother was imperceptibly persecuted, and she was furious.
Judging from the time when the master went to ask for Ping'an Pulse before, I am afraid that the Zimu incense was used in the imperial brother's bedroom for less than a month, which is not long, and the damage is not so big, and it can be saved.
After she came back from the palace, she had asked Brother Remnant Wang to send someone to give the brocade box to the imperial brother, but why didn't the imperial brother come to her yet!
Qin Shuhuang immediately decided that if the emperor's brother didn't come in the past two days, she would enter the palace again, and this time she would enter the palace, no matter what, she would have to see the emperor's brother!
Qin Shuhuang took a deep breath, pressed the worry and eagerness in his chest, and asked Song Yuan, "Master, can you make this fragrant cake with the same taste?" ”
Song Yuan was a pharmaceutical wizard, and medicine and incense making sometimes have the same effect, and generally people who know how to make medicine are familiar with incense making.
Zimu incense is now very rare raw materials, and it is not possible to make them together in a short time, but it is still easy to make only fragrant cakes with similar aromas, and Song and Yuan can also add some detoxifying and refreshing medicinal materials to this kind of incense cakes.
Song Yuan nodded after thinking for a while, "Yes, if Your Highness needs it urgently, the old man can make it within two hours." ”
He understood Qin Shuhuang's intention to make fragrant cakes with the same flavor in a hurry.
Qin Shuhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "That's going to be a hard master." ”
"What's this, since time is pressing, the old man will go to the pharmacy to make it."
As soon as the words fell, Song Yuan hurried back to his pharmacy.
When Song Yuan was immersed in the making of incense, the old man pushed the door in, and Song Yuan heard the voice and said without looking back: "Don't disturb me, go out!" ”
Hearing Song Yuan's serious voice, Old Adu didn't go out, he walked to Song Yuan with the food box, and placed the colorful and fragrant meals in the food box on the table one by one, and then said with a smile: "Master, it is the food sent by His Royal Highness, and I specially told you to use the meal before cooking!" ”
Song Yuan turned his head to look at the table when he heard this, and there were all the dishes he liked to eat on the table, as well as a small pot of rice wine that had been warmed.
Thinking that he lied that he had eaten it when he was in the room just now, he suddenly laughed helplessly and movingly, "This kid! Turns out to know! ”
After speaking, he carefully put away the tools in his hand, walked to the table with his clean hands, and had dinner with the old Adu.
The night had risen, and at the beginning of autumn, there were still a little fireflies in the garden of the eldest princess's mansion, and Qin Shuhuang carried the food box made by himself to the small courtyard where Xuan Cang lived.
