Chapter 979: Anywhere is Good!
Liu Yiyi sandwiched a piece of braised pork for the seventeenth brother, "Seventeenth brother, you are too thin, eat more!" β
The seventeenth elder brother smiled and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Seventh Sister-in-law, I like to eat Seventh Sister-in-law's food the most!" β
"Since you like to eat, eat more!" Liu Yiyi said with a smile, she especially likes this sensible younger brother, "There is also hawthorn water that helps digestion after eating, so you don't have to worry about indigestion after eating." β
The seventeenth elder brother nodded and ate happily, which was particularly sweet.
He likes to eat the food of the seventh sister-in-law's house, and it is not a lie, but it is true.
The food in the palace is also very exquisite, and the preparation process is also very complicated, and the taste is also very good.
For example, there is a dish that is actually fried shredded ham with mung bean sprouts, but the chefs in the imperial dining room are too laborious to cook.
Cut off the mung bean sprouts at both ends, then poke a hole in the middle of the mung bean sprouts with a thin strip, and then thread the thinly shredded ham into it.
The amount that a person wears out in a morning is only enough to fry one plate, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the taste is very good, but the two are mixed together and fried, and the taste is similar, so there is no need to be so troublesome.
In addition, there are some dishes that seem to be made of no idea what materials are made, and after too much processing, the original taste of the ingredients has been lost.
However, the meals of the seventh brother and seven sisters-in-law are different, the cooking techniques are relatively simple, and basically you can see the original appearance of the ingredients, and the taste is also the taste of the ingredients themselves.
The methods used and those seasonings are just to add flavor and flavor.
If he could, he wanted to take Eniang out and taste the food of the seventh brother and sister-in-law.
But soon E-Niang will be able to eat, this morning Huang Ama said that tomorrow I will bring E-Niang and the Queen Mother to come together.
Originally, Liu Yiyi and Shen Bingzhu came to Zhuangzi in order to relax, but now that the Empress Dowager Kangxi and the concubines of the harem are over, the two of them have no time to relax and prepare all kinds of things to welcome Kangxi's arrival.
Kangxi came as promised, originally thought that he would only bring Concubine Cheng, but he didn't expect to bring all the concubines and concubines above the concubine position.
Concubine Wen, Hui Rongde is good, these high-ranking concubines come over.
Originally, the Queen Mother didn't want to come, but Toya persuaded: "Queen Mother, we are all at this age, how many years do we still have to live?" Of course, how to be free! Kikige invited you before, but you didn't go, for fear of causing chaos to Kikige and Lao Qi. Even if the slave wants to go, she can't go! β
Sitting in the carriage, the Queen Mother smiled, "Before, Qiqige invited the mourning family, and the mourning family really wanted to come, but you also know that these princes are all older, and every move of the mourning family has also attracted much attention.
Although the mourning family did not have great power, some of the actions of the mourning family represented the attitude of the Mongolian tribes. Lao Qi and Qiqige are two people, they can be safe and quiet, which is really rare, and the mourning family will not cause trouble for them. Now that the Long Live Lord is coming, the mourning family just excused themselves slightly, and then pushed the boat down the river and followed. β
Toya said with a smile: "The slave maid has long wanted to come over, and when she received Kikige's letter before, she was envious. Qiqige also said that he wanted to massage the slave maid, but the slave didn't dare, after all, Qiqige is now the most expensive Qifujin, and only the most expensive elders like the Queen Mother can enjoy the massage of Qifujin. As for the slave, let Chun-Li give me a massage! β
The Queen Mother smiled, "Since you like it, I'll talk to Qiqige later, let Lao Qi build another courtyard next to it, and use it for us, if you don't go to Lao Qi's house, there won't be so many taboos!" β
Toya's eyes lit up, "Queen Mother, can it really be like this?" β
The Queen Mother replied with a smile: "We have to do whatever we want at this age, besides, the money for the construction of Zhuangzi is not used by my private treasury and not by the treasury, what else can others say?" β
Toya smiled, "Then the slave will follow the Queen Mother to enjoy happiness!" β
When she arrived at the hot spring Zhuangzi, Toya helped the Queen Mother down.
Liu Yiyi had already walked over with her two children, "Imperial grandmother, you are finally here!" It's cold outside, let's get inside! β
Ilha Hongyu and the seventeenth elder brother asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye.
The Queen Mother was already very happy to see Qifujin, and even happier when she saw these children, so she hurriedly said: "It's cold outside, don't stand outside!" β
Kangxi waved his hand, so that everyone didn't need to be polite, and brought the queen mother and concubines in.
There are several courtyards in this Zhuangzi, and the chamberlains sent by Kangxi yesterday have already done a good job of dividing them and bringing everyone to their respective courtyards.
It's rare to come out together, and I go out in the morning, and it's time to have lunch when I get here.
Kangxi waved his hand and asked people to arrange for dinner together.
The dining room is big enough for everyone to sit in.
Because there are many people who come, it adopts a separate meal system, a large plate, a bowl of rice, a few pieces of sweet and sour loin on the side, stir-fried shredded potatoes, fried greens, chive tofu, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup per person.
The Queen Mother took a spoon and took a bite of meat, her eyes lit up, "Qiqige, this tastes good, what kind of meat is this?" β
Liu Yiyi replied: "This is sweet and sour tenderloin, sweet and sour, appetizing and not greasy, next to it is fried vegetarian dishes, easy to digest." β
The Queen Mother pinched some with chopsticks and nodded while eating, "Not bad!" Nice, very light and tasty. β
Although these harem concubines feel that the meals are simple and too little, the Queen Mother has said so, who dares to say that it is not good?
Besides, there are fresh and tender greens, and the taste is very fresh, and they like it very much.
Kangxi also nodded in praise, thinking that this way of eating was also very good, and then said to Seventh Elder Brother and Qifujin: "In the future, don't follow the cooking of the imperial dining room, just eat as you usually eat." β
Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Huang Ama, is this too simple?" Usually we have four dishes and one soup, one or two meat dishes, and the rest are vegetarian dishes, sometimes meat soup, sometimes vegetarian soup, and in the evening, we mostly eat wontons, cakes, and noodlesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Kangxi nodded, "If it is still the same as in the palace, then what is the meaning of coming out, just follow your recipe." I heard Xiao Seventeen say, your food is delicious, you can eat more every time, and let everyone try it too. β
Liu Yiyi nodded, "Yes, Huang Ama." β
After eating, Shen Bingzhu took them to the glass flower room, took a walk, looked at the blooming flowers, and then drank a little hawthorn water. After a morning in the carriage, we ate again, and we also visited the flower house, everyone was a little tired, and then went back to the room to rest.
After a nap, it's time to soak in the hot springs.
The Queen Mother and Toya, even Kangxi and the concubines are also looking forward to it.
Shen Bingzhu took the seventeenth elder brother and Hongyu to accompany Kangxi and soak in a hot spring pool.
I was wearing loose underwear, and sitting on the stone steps inside, I felt that the pores of my body were open.
