Fengcheng has the custom of eating glutinous rice balls during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means a happy reunion. This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival that Lou Yanran and Yun Buhui have celebrated since they married into the palace. Lou Yanran wanted to make a pot of glutinous rice balls with Yun Buhui to represent the two newlyweds.
The daughter-in-law's filial piety also allowed the elders to have a taste of their craftsmanship. Yun Buhui readily agreed. She was not proficient in cooking and had not liked kitchen work since she was a child, but she was good at glutinous rice dumplings and made them pretty well.
.
The glutinous rice balls were made well and took a lot of effort. Lou Yanran and Yun Buhui were busy in the kitchen in the afternoon. Lingxi and Lingxin were the best at cooking. They wanted to help but were stopped by Lou Yanran. Yun Buhui mixed the noodles and Lou Yanran mixed the stuffing.
, divide the work and do it.
Yun Buhui's hands were not very strong, so she had a hard time kneading the dough. Lingxi took advantage of Lou Yanran not paying attention and secretly helped Yun Buhui knead the dough. Yun Buhui smiled lightly and did not stop her.
There are a lot of people in the house, so the glutinous rice balls need to be cooked a lot, and I can't make the noodles alone.
Lou Yanran is good at choosing delicate jobs, leaving this errand to her.
Lingxi said, "Prince Princess, you are a blessed person. You really can't do this kitchen work. Your hands are white and clean, not stained with spring water. We slaves can't bear to see you working."
, don’t talk about the prince."
Yun Buhui smiled. She used to make glutinous rice dumplings in small portions, so of course it was not strenuous. There were so many people in the palace, so it was a little more cumbersome.
Cheng Mubai didn't agree with her making glutinous rice balls from the beginning. He didn't want her to work in the kitchen. Yun Buhui occasionally made one or two snacks, but they weren't very delicious. Cheng Mubai ate well because of her wishes.
He knew how good his wife was in the kitchen. The glutinous rice balls were eaten by everyone in the house. If they were not cooked well, they were afraid of causing gossip. However, Lou Yanran said that the two of them had just entered the palace and had never done anything for the palace. They wanted to have a reunion dinner with glutinous rice balls.
That's right. Yun Bugui will only cause gossip if he doesn't agree.
Lingxi was used to this, and the noodles were kneaded very evenly and nice, and the glutinous rice balls were white and tender, which looked very pleasant. Yun Buhui was overjoyed. Normally, he made sugary glutinous rice balls, but this time Yun Buhui had some.
Got a new idea and want to make coconut milk glutinous rice balls.
Her craftsmanship is not good, but novelty is valuable, which can make up for some shortcomings. Lou Yanran is a little worried, fearing that others will not be used to it if she doesn't do it well. Yun Buhui says it doesn't matter, she has made milk dumplings, and coconut milk is more fragrant.
, I am used to eating glutinous rice dumplings with sugar water in Fuzhong, so it would be nice to change the taste.
Lou Yanran had nothing to say, so Yun Buhui asked someone to prepare coconut milk.
This coconut milk dumpling is actually not difficult to make, just replace the sugar water with coconut milk, and the coconut milk is not difficult to make. It takes some time to boil the coconut milk with fresh coconut water and coconut meat.
Lingxi always praised Yun Buhui for her clever thinking. She had never eaten coconut milk glutinous rice balls in her house. After they were cooked, she took a bite and felt very good. The glutinous rice balls were slightly cooked, but they were very fragrant, which made up for the shortcomings.
The weather was hot, so Yun Buhui let the coconut milk cool down, added ice, and made ice dumplings before serving them.
This is a relatively new method. As soon as they served it, the prince and princess praised Yun Buhui and Lou Yanran for their ingenuity. Lou Yanran smiled modestly and said, "It's all the credit of Buhui. My daughter-in-law is just mixing the stuffing, not
Dare to take credit."
Concubine Li said, "It's cool and refreshing, smooth but not greasy. These glutinous rice balls are well made. Sister Wangfei is really lucky. The imperial concubine is really capable."
Concubine Jade was also full of praises. Yun Buhui sat next to Cheng Mubai. Cheng Mubai looked at her with a smile. She received a lot of praise. It was beyond Cheng Mubai's expectation. He thought that Yun Buhui's cooking skills would make the dumplings full of fillings.
Boiled.
Yun Buhui whispered, "It was Lingxi who helped me."
Cheng Mubai understood that she had a lot of ideas, but she didn't see any results when she really tried to do them. However, she and Lingxi worked very well together.
Cheng Youtian ate the glutinous rice balls quietly, and Cheng Mudong said with a smile, "I thought my second sister-in-law was not good at cooking, but I didn't expect her to be a good cook. My second brother's worries were unnecessary. Look at how delicately these glutinous rice balls are made."
Yun Buhui was highly praised, but he didn't dare to take the credit, so he pushed it to Lou Yanran. Lou Yanran modestly pushed it back. The princess said, "Don't push around, they are both capable wives. The eldest young master and Mu Bai are very good."
It’s a good thing to eat.”
Cheng Mubai covered his mouth with his long sleeves and seemed to be smiling. Yun Buhui pulled his sleeves and said, "What do you mean, you said I didn't do well?"
"How dare you do this? Everyone is praising you." Cheng Mubai whispered, the two of them whispered, their postures were intimate, and they envied others. Lou Yanran suddenly felt that she was bored, and Cheng Youtian was the quietest one, saying nothing.
The prince said with emotion, "I had this coconut milk glutinous rice dumpling many years ago, and the taste is really nostalgic."
The princess's face froze slightly, Yun Buhui's smile disappeared, and she secretly shouted in her heart, "It's broken." This coconut milk glutinous rice dumpling is something that her mother often made when she was a child. Her father loved it very much, and it was even more memorable after being chilled. She didn't know that her mother
She had done this for the prince before. She glanced at the princess secretly and her palms became sweaty. The knot between the prince and the princess had just been untied. Don't tie it up again because of this. Then she would be guilty of an unforgivable crime.
Inadvertent losses are sometimes even more tragic.
Concubine Yun Fang said with a smile, "I have never done this in my house. Where has the prince eaten it?"
The prince said calmly, "It happened a long time ago."
Concubine Yun Fangqian covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Seeing that the prince misses her so much, this glutinous rice dumpling maker must be very important to the prince."
The princess lowered her head and Yun Buhui couldn't see her expression. He was extremely angry and cursed himself secretly for being stupid. He didn't expect this and got into trouble. Damn it. The relationship between her and the princess couldn't get worse.
The prince seemed to feel that he had made a mistake. He glanced at the princess and smiled brightly, "Yun'er is too worried. It's just that one of my sisters made it when I was young. It tasted very good, so I still remember it fondly. Speaking of the delicious glutinous rice balls,
I think the princess’s glutinous rice balls are better than not regretting.”
The princess looked at the prince in surprise, and Concubine Yun was secretly annoyed. Yun Buhui breathed a sigh of relief and answered smartly, "Yes, my mother's glutinous rice balls are the best. Yu Zhi often said that Buhui is just a clever mind and craftsmanship.
It’s so-so.”
Concubine Yu said, "When the prince mentioned it, I also remembered that the craftsmanship of the princess's sister is indeed good. I only tasted it once, and I still miss it."
The family in the mansion happily ate glutinous rice balls and enjoyed the shadow puppet show in the front yard. Cheng Mubai took Yun Buhui to the Biyue Corridor to enjoy the moon. He was not very interested in the shadow puppet show, so it was better to enjoy the moon with Yun Buhui in the lotus pond.
, which is even more enjoyable.
