The harem has undergone a major cleanup, and the atmosphere in the harem has been obviously different recently. Even those who are slow to react can feel a sense of tension.
The empress was also ill for a while, and it was Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui who took the lead. Of course, there were also the elders of the palaces, plus some help from the Queen Mother, so things didn't get messy.
Concubine Xian is not in good health and cannot worry about these things at all.
Therefore, she can't help, the most she can do is give ideas.
Needless to say, she came up with a lot of ideas, which were really useful.
After Aunt Yu entered the palace, she met Xiao Nianzhi once.
Knowing that the little girl was very good, I went to take care of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Xiao Nianzhi prayed for blessings and lived in the Queen Mother's Palace.
Now that I heard that someone had come out, Aunt Yu was busy for a few more days, sorting out the things at hand, and then handed them over to others. Now that she had time, she finally ran over to take a look.
The master and apprentice have not met frequently in recent times. The few times they met, they were all in a hurry.
It's rare that I have free time today, so I can sit down, drink tea and talk.
Aunt Yu didn't want Xiao Nianzhi to be too nervous, so she also told her about how she went to Zhuangzi to watch the ewe giving birth on the first day of the new year: "Don't tell me, it's quite magical.
It’s no different. When you are born, you will look for milk on your own. You are so weak and small, but you are quite energetic when feeding.”
"I heard that His Highness King Wei is cultivating new ducklings. The ducks he raises are very good. I will have to ask for some to raise later. Then we will go to Zhuangzi to eat duck pot."<
/p>
……
Aunt Yu talked about daily life. Xiao Nianzhi listened obediently and talked about things around him from time to time.
For example, the tools are difficult to make, and the materials are difficult to obtain.
Aunt Yu was listening, still thinking about whether she could help with what Xiao Nianzhi said.
It turns out...
She doesn’t even understand, how can I help?
Moreover, she has been really busy recently, switching from one palace to another every day.
In fact, the harem has almost been cleaned up. Although the nails may not have been pulled out completely, even if there are some left, there won't be many, and the ones buried deep are not easy to pull out.
Aunt Yu has been fishing for so long, but she is a little uncomfortable with the intensity of labor in the past.
The master and apprentice talked for a long time, and Aunt Yu rushed back without stopping, and then got busy.
Yan Xingxuan was still in the hall before, but later gave up the space to the master and apprentice.
After Aunt Yu left, he came in: "Think about it, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
After nearly being abducted in the palace last time, plus the memorial service for Xiao's father was all rushed together, Xiao Nianzhi was not in the mood for food in the recent period, so he only ate what was ready-made in the palace. Xiao Nianzhi wanted to prepare for Yan Xingxuan's birthday two days ago, but the other party stopped her. Now when she heard the other party asked, she thought for a while and said, "How about... let's get some food ourselves?"
Of course Yan Xingxuan wants to eat the food made by Xiao Nianzhi, or the delicacies that he participated in, so that when he eats it, he will feel more emotional.
However, he didn't want Xiao Nianzhi to be too tired, so when he thought about it, he hesitated.
Xiao Nianzhi naturally understood and couldn't help but laugh: "Most of the time, we just move our mouths and we won't get tired."
What Xiao Nianzhi said made sense, and she had been busy with lipstick materials for the past two days. Yan Xingxuan felt sorry for her busyness, and wanted to find something else to do to relax her a little.
The two people quickly reached an agreement, and then took Isatis and Laishun to the small kitchen.
Song Lu has been dealt with, and Song Bai’s background is not particularly innocent. Now he has been taken to Dali Temple for unified management and interrogation.
As for Concubine Hui's palace, there were also several nails. One of the two palace servants who came back with Xiao Nianzhi that day was obviously wrong and had already been dealt with.
Although the harem is not in a state of chaos now, it is still pretty much the same.
All the palaces are very nervous. Xiao Nianzhi has not sent anyone here for the time being. His Majesty is probably afraid of something happening and is planning to wait until the harem is completely cleaned up.
There are few people, but there are guards who can help.
Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi was not prepared to do anything particularly complicated on a cold day.
When he entered the small kitchen, he found fresh tofu. Xiao Nianzhi was originally going to use it directly, but after thinking about it, he thought about trying something fresh?
You’ve eaten both fried and stewed foods, would you like something different this time?
After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Nianzhi cut the tofu into thin rectangular pieces.
After cutting, place the tofu flatly in a bamboo dustpan, then cover it with a damp cloth for fermentation.
This fermentation time will not be too long. You can eat it when you get up early tomorrow morning.
However, thinking of the spicy taste of Love Tofu Fruit, Xiao Nianzhi felt that eating it in the morning was still too exciting. It happened to be cold and it could be eaten for lunch if it fermented for a while.
Cold winter days are actually the best time to eat these spicy and appetizing foods.
After cutting the tofu, Xiao Nianzhi looked at the clearly layered pork belly.
It would be a pity not to braise such good pork belly.
But braise it directly?
Xiao Nianzhi thought this was nothing special, and then as soon as her mind changed, she thought of another way to eat it: "How about we try braised pork buns?"
The braised pork is cooked successfully, and after the flavor is absorbed, it is combined with the aroma of wheat. Just thinking about it makes you happy.
In fact, braised pork can also be used and tastes equally good.
But the braised pork tastes richer and more fragrant.
Yan Xingxuan became interested as soon as he heard it.
Thinking of the delicious and fragrant big buns, his saliva has begun to secrete vigorously.
So, I quickly responded: "Okay!"
The two of them got to work as soon as they were told. Laishun was already kneading the noodles quickly, while Isatis was blanching the pork belly to remove the fishy smell.
How to make braised pork delicious, Xiao Nianzhi still needs to do it.
So, after the pork belly was blanched, Xiao Nianzhi began to fry the sugar color.
Braised pork is not difficult to make. If you want it to be delicious, there will be no big problem if you control the sugar color and heat.
Of course, after the braised pork is cooked, it is not kept in the pot, but needs to be scooped out and placed in a cool place outside to cool down.
In fact, quick freezing is the best, but there is no such condition now. Fortunately, the weather today is not as cold as in winter, but cooling is enough.
This is because the soup and fat in the braised pork will saturate the dough. In that case, the filling will be easily exposed or the skin will break, affecting the taste.
The braised pork has been processed, and the noodles have been mixed at Laishun, waiting for them to rise.
Xiao Nianzhi prepared the ingredients for the egg drop soup.
It doesn’t need to be particularly complicated. Just wash the newly picked cabbage, chop it into small pieces, and mix it with the eggs. In this cold winter, when there is not much greenery, it is actually very eye-catching and delicious.
The progress in the glass greenhouse, even without Xiao Nianzhi's follow-up, is still very good.
After all, the road ahead has been paved, and the people behind can just use the trees to directly bear fruit. This can't be done. Are you waiting for Your Majesty to take care of them all?
