I chose a piece of white and tender tofu, cut it into small cubes, and soaked it in salted water.

Cut a small piece of meat down, chop it into minced pieces, and stir-fry it in a pot until it changes color.

There are dozens of types of sauce jars boiled by themselves in the imperial dining room, and as soon as He Shaoguang described it slightly, Fang Cai's apprentice took a spoonful of palace secret bean paste for her, and she smelled it, well, it was really no different from the one outside.

Add the sauce and minced meat and stir-fry together, stir-fry until fragrant, pour rice wine, pour in the broth and bring to a boil, and then pour in soy sauce and salt to taste.

At this time, the apprentice was very discerning and handed her a small plate to taste whether it was appropriate, He Shaoguang smiled at the intimate little apprentice, thinking in his heart how many meals he had to eat to be so clever.

felt that the taste was a little light, so she added some salt, put the tofu she had just soaked into the pot to cook, and when she waited, she adjusted the water starch to thicken.

Finally, after the pot was out of the pot, a spoonful of peppercorns were sprinkled on the noodles, and the hot and spicy taste aroused Chef Li's mouth, and he couldn't help but poke his head over: "Do you still know how to make this dish?" Are you from Shudi? ”

He Shaoguang had long heard Li Yuchu's accent and knew that he was probably from Sichuan, so he explained to him with a smile: "I also learned it by chance. ”

In fact, according to Princess Mingzhu's amount of food, it was enough for her to make such a dish, but seeing that there was a vat of live crucian carp in the corner, He Shaoguang couldn't help but make a sauerkraut crucian carp soup, this sour and spicy dish is actually the most appetizing.

In order to save their lives, the dishes presented to the imperial dining room every day are not fragrant and tasteful, only colored, and the palace people who carry the food take the insulated food box, and they have to go through the long imperial garden and several palaces, and the dishes sent to them are only warm for a long time, and the taste is greatly reduced, which is the reason why Princess Mingzhu has no appetite.

Although the two dishes in front of her are strong, just smelling them makes people move their fingers, and Princess Mingzhu doesn't need to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, standing in the distance.

He Shaoguang knew that she couldn't wait to go back, so he asked Li Yuchu where there were empty tables and chairs, set them up on them, and asked the princess to taste them.

Princess Mingzhu's inquiring eyes fell on mapo tofu, red and oily, she had never paid attention to the dishes made of tofu before, so the people below felt that she didn't like to eat, so she made even less, but I didn't expect the tasteless tofu to be made like this.

In addition to the frightened chefs, there are also the maids around the pearl master, all of whom are not buried low: such a choking taste, the princess will be sick to her stomach later, and maybe they will suffer again

Unexpectedly, Princess Mingzhu only frowned slightly, she picked up the silver chopsticks, stretched out to the trembling tofu at the top, and then put it in her mouth and savored it.

At first, the sauce is rich and the tofu is delicate, and then the mouth is quickly occupied by the spicy, and people can't help but use something else to suppress the numbness.

Princess Mingzhu learned from He Shaoguang's example, took a bite of rice, and it was really spicy.

It's just that this numbness has passed, which makes her miss the taste of Fang Cai again

Unconsciously, the chopsticks reached out to the mapo tofu again, and before I knew it, half of the rice in the bowl had gone down.

The maid was so surprised that she almost covered her mouth, God knows that the princess actually ate it, and it was the first time in a month that she ate so deliciously that she didn't vomit.

He Shaoguang saw that she liked it, and served a bowl of soup for her more and more diligently, which was so sour that Princess Mingzhu frowned, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The maid hurriedly came over to smooth her down, thinking that it really didn't work, and the half bowl of rice she used at the beginning was afraid that she would vomit up.

But she was wrong, Princess Mingzhu didn't vomit at all.

But after the initial discomfort passed, her eyes lit up, and she discovered a new way to eat.

This time, she didn't even need He Shaoguang to teach her, Princess Mingzhu consciously soaked the soup in the rice, which was sour and spicy and appetizing, and used up the remaining half bowl of rice with mapo tofu.

I didn't eat much a few days ago, but now I opened my appetite, and Mingzhu thought about serving another bowl.

He Shaoguang hurriedly stopped the maid: "Don't worry, the princess had a poor diet a few days ago, and suddenly overeating is not good for the stomach, it is better to eat less and more often, and slowly recover the amount of food." I will hand over the left and right directions to the imperial chef, and I am not in a hurry for this meal. ”

Princess Mingzhu held her hand and burst into tears, she was even afraid that the baby would not be saved.

Li Yuchu is a native of Shudi, and he made many similar dishes on the second day, of course, because of pregnant women, the seasoning is much lighter than the authentic method.

Rao is like this, Princess Mingzhu's appetite has also opened, and she is willing to eat.

The queen was so happy that she personally rewarded a bunch of things down and sent them into the Lu Mansion like water.

Then on the day of the Lantern Festival, He Shaoguang finally went home.

The freedom obtained by the two dishes and the saint, He Shaoguang really couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was mixed.

As soon as I left the palace gate, it seemed that the air was fresh.

She told the coachman to walk slowly, not to rush back, so that she could feel the bustling street market more.

And Lu Xiaowen was rushed to the door by Mrs. Lu to pick up his wife early in the morning, and he waited and waited for no one to come, he frowned and asked the little servant: "The news from the palace is good today?" ”

The little guy broke out in a cold sweat: "That's right, master, maybe it's today's Lantern Festival, there are many people on the street, and the carriage is driving slower." ”

Lu Xiaowen nodded, what the little guy said made sense, so he waited patiently for half an hour, and finally waited in the twilight to find the carriage with the lantern hung.

"Why is it so late?" Lu Xiaowen's smiling concern was still stuck in his throat, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the fried Lantern Festival wrapped in oiled paper in He Shaoguang's hand, and the golden snow coat wrapped the sweet and glutinous bean paste, this fried Lantern Festival is very famous, the road from the palace to Lufu is not smooth, and it takes two streets to buy it.

Lu Xiaowen's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and his outstretched hand fell on her head and sighed.

He waited in the snow for more than an hour, but people had no heart and lungs, and they were still interested in buying fried Lantern Festival.

Seeing that Lu Xiaowen didn't seem to be very happy, He Shaoguang was excited, it was too bad, he patronized it and bought it for himself, and he didn't bring a copy to this one.

She showed a dog-legged smile, picked the largest fried rice balls with a bamboo stick, and handed it to Lu Xiaowen's mouth: "You also eat one?" Today's Lantern Festival, I went to buy it, it's sweet! ”

Lu Xiaowen followed her hand and sent the Lantern Festival into her mouth, well, it was indeed sweet.

In the main hall, Mrs. Lu's face was a little tired, and she didn't say much to her before she said: "It's good to come back, you husband and wife should be more cautious in the future, go and rest first, I'm also tired." ”

The two nodded yes.

Back in his small courtyard, the lights were all over the sky, and it turned out that the children were setting off fireworks under the care of their subordinates.

Lu Xiaowen told them yesterday that He Shaoguang would come back today, so when he saw her, he was all surprised, Lu Mingzhen didn't play with fireworks anymore, threw himself into He Shaoguang's arms, rubbed her shoulder socket affectionately, and said sweetly: "Mingzhen misses her mother so much." ”

Lu Mingyan was also holding fireworks, looking at her with starry eyes.
