Kangxi saw that the fourth child had not entered the palace for a few days, and the spirit of the whole person was different, and his face was ruddy, so he couldn't help but ask what good food was hidden in the house.

The fourth master has been eating the garlic seasoned stew they grew for two days in a row, and yesterday he asked people to find the sweet potatoes from the south were also harvested.

They also ate the sweet potatoes that were only steamed in the pot, and confirmed that the sweet potatoes were indeed as Jiang Yingban said, not only with high yields, but also special and easy to eat, and the fourth master planned to find a suitable day to present to Huang Ama.

For example, on Huang Ama's birthday or festivals.

After all, he is very poor now, and he can save a lot of money by using such a free and easy gift to win favor.

But now that Huang Ama has asked, there are still so many sweet potatoes in his house, and if he doesn't say it at this time, he will be suspected of rewarding him.

The fourth master pondered his words for a while, and said: "Don't hide it from the emperor Ama, recently the Jiang family has been practicing cooking skills, and the son has been eating with him, just in the autumn, the son saw a kind of food that the Jiang family had eaten, so he also found it from the south and planted it in the house, many local farmers said that it would not grow in the autumn, and the son wanted to get a greenhouse to plant and see." Because Jiang likes it, the greenhouse was set up with her, she took good care of it, and yesterday she dug out some, and the sweet potatoes really bore a lot. ”

The eldest elder brother Yinzhi and the third elder brother Yinzhi looked at them, and the other found a direction and pouted.

The fourth child used to be quite honest, and he didn't know when he became so good at competing for favor, and he gave him a good impression in front of the old man.

Yinren smiled, and seemed to be very pleased that his brother was so capable.

Kangxi also listened with interest, "Oh? What is the crop? That Jiang can also cook, haha, it's a novelty. ”

The fourth master immediately changed the words he had prepared, and said: "If Huang Ama is free today, it is better to go to his son's mansion to sit down, Jiang's craftsmanship is okay, and it should not be able to let Huang Ammar have a stomach." ”

Kangxi laughed all of a sudden, and didn't care whether his son was begging for his side Fujin or not, as long as he respected the main room where he was originally married, what else should be dealt with or willing to do was up to his son's own wishes.

Kangxi smiled: "It's a little free today, so let's go to your house for a walk." Speaking of which, I haven't been to see it since you left the house. ”

"Liang Jiugong, you go and prepare a generous gift, Lao Tzu can't go empty-handed when he goes to his son's door for the first time." Kangxi smiled again and said, "The eldest and the second and third children, you will also go with you, all with gifts." ”

Yinzhi couldn't understand that the fourth brother was just a side room, even if the fourth brother and sister were entertained in person, they didn't have to be like this.

Yinchu smiled first and retired: "That son will go back to the house first and prepare a door gift for the fourth brother." ”

*

Jiang Ying is basking in the sun in the yard, with dried sweet potatoes at hand, which she steamed and roasted all morning to make, soft and glutinous, and the sweetness is just right, I want to eat another one after eating one.

Just as she was eating, drinking, and watching TV, Xiao Caizi ran over with slippery feet and shouted, "Master, Father-in-law Su asked someone to pass the word and say, Master and Xing will be here in a while, so you can get ready." ”

"What?"

Jiang Ying sat up suddenly, "The emperor is coming?" What do I have to prepare? ”

The other people in the courtyard were also happy and nervous when they heard the news, and they all stared at Xiao Caizi.

Xiao Caizi only then remembered that he was too nervous when he heard the news, so he ran back without asking, and at this time another big eunuch, Zhang Jiu, came over.

"Back to the master's words, the master said that the emperor just wants to taste the home-cooked dishes you made, and let me raise some sweet potatoes and make some steamed sweet potato balls and sweet potato cakes for the kitchen. In addition, pluck some greens from the greenhouse and fry two vegetable plates. ”

After listening to this, Jiang Ying said to Xiao Caizi: "Learn more next time." ”

Xiao Caizi didn't care at all, smiled and chirped, and said happily: "Master, let's get ready." ”

During this time, Sifujin repaired the relationship with the lady in the palace again, and the entire cherry garden was worried that the side Fujin would be taken out and cleaned up after Fujin stabilized.

Now the fourth master asked Fang Fujin to entertain the emperor, this is to let Fang Fujin show his face, which is a good opportunity for them to cherry blossoms.

What's more, these gentlemen who have already left the palace, only the third master has entertained the emperor before, so this is also a good opportunity for them to grow their faces.

Jiang Ying asked Zhang Jiu to come to him, and confirmed to him that the fourth master was talking about home-cooked food, and knew that he was asking her to make a stew with garlic seasoning and various leftovers.

I really can't imagine that the fourth master actually likes to eat this, and he tries his best to recommend it to him Ama and his brothers.

Jiang Ying patted her legs and stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's all move, let's prepare a special home-cooked meal for the emperor." ”

Jiang Ying doesn't have a big craft, but she can make one or two home-cooked dishes.

In addition to the stewed soup that the fourth master likes, Jiang Ying is also going to make a steamed vegetable with celery leaves, a chili paste, and a scrambled egg with green onions, all of which she often ate made from her parents when she was a child.

As for the sweet potato cakes, let a few chefs from the small kitchen in the garden make them.

Jiang Ying thought about the dishes to be cooked, so he called Shang Ke to carry a small basket to the greenhouse in the backyard, and the greenhouse was surrounded by a thick straw curtain to make a fence, and there were three small squares at the top, using the glass that the fourth master bought from outside and is very expensive today.

In the second half of every day, in the second half of the afternoon, a little eunuch would go up to cover the straw and open it again at noon when the sun was shining.

Because of the careful care, several crops in the greenhouse grow very well, and the pot of cockscomb flowers harvested by Jiang Ying in the autumn was also placed in the greenhouse, and it has not withered until now, but has become more serious.

There are common cabbage and celery in the greenhouse, as well as potted peppers and tomatoes that her fourth master collected for her from the south, Jiang Ying really can't resist the temptation of food, although she knows that there is a traverser in the house, Sifujin, she still grows these as vegetables.

The seeds of these two crops, ginger babies only bought a few days ago, but they can only be planted in the spring of the next year, in fact, it is very beneficial to wear them to the Qing Dynasty, and high-yield and popular crops such as peppers, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes have appeared.

Some people also started to eat it, and it was not very abrupt to do this.

However, the current chili pepper is not hot enough, but Jiang Ying thinks it is enough for people who have never eaten spicy dishes.

In fact, these two kinds of peppers and tomatoes, Jiang Ying has also seen them on the Fujin side, since it was determined that Sifujin was a traverser, Jiang Ying knew that she was not just a potted plant.

Jiang Ying only didn't understand one thing, why didn't Sifujin take out these crops that had been planted in the yard.

The temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are the most suitable for the growth of crops, peppers and tomatoes are almost the same every day, there were not a few red peppers when I saw it yesterday, and now there are a lot of reddish ones on the top.

At this time, tomatoes are a bit like cherry tomatoes, they are very small, and they can be kept for a long time after they are red, so they are often used as ornamental potted plants by some people.

After the fourth master gave her potted tomatoes, Jiang Ying looked up a lot of planting methods on the Internet, and after a period of careful care, the fruits of these small persimmons are not small.

She picked one this morning and ate it, which was not as juicy and sweet as the modern tomato variety, but the smell of the tomato was very strong.

It's not delicious to eat dry, it's no problem to make a tomato soup and tomato scrambled eggs.

Jiang Ying picked two of them, and when they were ready to make stew, they were stir-fried as soup base seasoning.

When I picked a basket of fresh vegetables and came out, I saw that the fourth master and his party were already in the courtyard, and a man in a stone blue robe was talking to the fourth master: "Fourth brother, when you came back from the battlefield, the emperor Ama rewarded you a lot, it seems that it is really generous, this garden is carved and painted, and so many precious cherries are planted." Huang Ama, eldest brother and second brother, today we are going to have a mouthful. ”

Saying that, he saw Jiang Ying coming out with a skirt and stomping the dirt on his feet, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother and sister, have you prepared bird's nest shark fin for us?" You should be careful when making shark fin, don't be too heavy in seasoning, Huang Ama doesn't like heavy mouths. ”

Kangxi looked at the environment of the small courtyard with a smile, sat down on the stone table, and said to Yinzhi: "Don't be anti-guest-oriented, Jiang, you do it casually, don't blindly do those valuables." ”

Jiang Ying blessed her body, and when she saw the famous Kangxi Emperor in the history books at close range, she was still a little nervous, and her voice was a little stiff: "Back to the emperor, my daughter-in-law won't make expensive ingredients, and what she will do is very homely, and I hope the emperor won't laugh when he arrives." ”

Daughter-in-law?

Yin Zhen raised her eyebrows, looking at the side room of the fourth family, it didn't look like she was brainless, that is, she was not ambitious.

Jiang Ying really has no extraneous meaning in calling herself a daughter-in-law, after all, the emperor is her husband, and it feels very awkward to call herself a concubine.

Kangxi smiled and nodded, seeing that Jiang Shi looked down at his toes the whole time, he thought it was very funny, and thought that this time he could scare Jiang Shi so much that he knelt on the ground with a pale face and didn't dare to get up.

It's not that Jiang Ying didn't see the emperor's face at all, it's just that it's been a long time since she went to Changchun Garden last time, and she is not the kind of person who can remember people's facial features very clearly, so she didn't recognize Kangxi at all when she saw it just now.

Kangxi smiled and said, "It's good to be homely, okay, you go and prepare." ”

Jiang Ying was about to leave, when the stone blue young man spoke again: "Homely? I look at the fourth brother's red face, your family's home-cooked food is also a very good dish. ”

Jiang Ying maintained a blessed posture and raised his eyes slightly to take a look.

[Who is this, so annoying. 】

The fourth master shook his fist amusedly and blocked his lips, walked over to help Jiang Ying, and said, "You go and prepare, I'll watch here." ”

Jiang Ying didn't feel that it was disrespectful to her not to let her stay to entertain the guests, entertain the emperor and his sons, or let his son come, and she hurriedly left when she lifted the small basket on the ground.

The prince had a good impression of the fourth side Fujin, and said to the fourth child with a smile: "Your side Fujin is very homely, presumably the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister get along well on weekdays." ”

The fourth master said: "Let the second brother smile, I don't restrain her on weekdays, and I'm used to being free." ”

The eldest brother immediately had something to say: "I think it has something to do with her background, people from small families are generally reluctant to restrain their children, and they are originally a jumping person." You, next time you come to the draft, let De Eniang choose a stable one for you. ”
