As soon as Shen Lie turned around, he saw a group of guards, maids, and eunuchs, accompanied by the Queen Mother, standing not far behind him.
The appearance remains the same.
That style remains the same.
Perhaps because she had been fasting and chanting sutras all year round, Queen Mother Li seemed to have lost some weight and lost some weight, but she became more and more radiant and had a faint air of renunciation.
This is the development from Mother Yi Tianxia to the direction of Guanyin Master.
"Ouch."
A soft cry.
Shen Lie, who was directing the disaster relief, hurried over with his beloved wife and concubine.
Split your mouth.
Shen Lie showed a heroic but honest smile to the Queen Mother and his wife, and then knelt down and bowed: "I bow to the Queen Mother, and bow to the Queen Mother."
As soon as she saw her son's confidant, Queen Mother Li couldn't help but smile and nodded towards Shen Lie and his wife.
Queen Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "No."
Following Shen Lie, Zhang Jingxiu and others stood up.
then.
The eunuchs and palace maids gathered around the Queen Mother and the Empress and walked over, walking slowly along the edge of the grove beside the official road.
Dao Shisan and others who were cutting down trees to build a shed quickly stopped what they were doing and knelt on the ground towards the Queen Mother.
"No need to be too polite, just be on your own."
As the Queen Mother's graceful voice sounded.
Everyone quickly got up.
Keep working.
Empress Dowager Li glanced at the shanties being built, as well as the porridge shed, tea shed, and piles of sweet potatoes stacked in the open air not far away.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
There were piles of potatoes and sweet potatoes placed in a large open space, the piles were so high that there was no room to put their feet down, and there were four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages constantly transporting them here.
What a huge ocean of sweet potatoes.
After a moment of surprise.
Queen Wang smiled brightly, her bright eyes rolled around, Yingying walked up to Zhang Jingxiu, grabbed her jade arm, patted her, and whispered softly in her ear.
Your man has made meritorious deeds again.
"This time... you are indispensable as Mrs. Gaoming."
According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, if a high-ranking official performs meritorious service in disaster relief, the wife of the family will be honored, and it is inevitable that she will be given a royal title, which may not be of the first rank.
Under the Queen's encouragement, Zhang Jingxiu raised her dark eyebrows and looked at her heroic husband. As the corners of her fair mouth rose slightly, a proud and charming smile overflowed on her pretty face.
The atmosphere became more relaxed and there were more smiles on everyone's faces.
Look at the heroic young man taking credit without being arrogant, with a calm demeanor...
Looking at the mountains of miraculous crops, Queen Mother Li's heart palpitated. She never expected that the food problem that she had been worrying about for several days could be solved so easily.
Queen Mother Li's heart felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground, and even her plump and slim body became comfortable.
It’s really strange to say that.
Since the return of Shen Lie, all problems have been solved. Two words emerged in the heart of the well-informed Empress Dowager Li.
A capable minister!
This reminded her of Zhang Juzheng, when he was a fledgling man at the beginning of the year, he would do everything himself, no matter how big or small, and no matter how difficult it was, he would be able to handle it.
As soon as the medicine cures the disease, it disappears quickly.
This son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai of Taishi Mansion really looks a bit like Zhang Juzheng back in the day.
But.
Queen Mother Li stopped in front of a pile of sweet potatoes. Looking at this indescribable crop, she felt relieved and had another thought in her mind.
Queen Mother Li felt a little embarrassed to say it, but she still pondered: "Normally, it is difficult for people with a stutter in a year of great disaster, but... besides roasting and boiling, is there no other way to cook it?"
Empress Dowager Li felt a little embarrassed, her dignified and charming face was slightly red, it was hard for someone who was starving to death, and she still wanted to taste good.
This is really a bit overwhelming.
But I never expected it.
Shen Lie immediately bowed and said firmly: "The Queen Mother is merciful...can!"
This means.
The Queen Mother may think that the taste of this sweet potato is too bad.
Shen Lie hurriedly said respectfully: "To Queen Mother Shengci, when cooking white porridge, put less rice and just add a few pieces of sweet potato. You can also stew it with yam and pumpkin. The taste... is acceptable."
"The Queen Mother doesn't know something..."
With a smile on his face, Shen Lie began to tell overseas stories again. In South Asia, sweet potatoes were originally treated as high-quality cooking.
"It's also ridiculous."
Shen Lie vividly described how the people in Nanyang had never seen anything delicious, and they didn’t know how to cook, and there were some who used sweet potatoes as a high-end royal dish!
Queen Mother Li and Queen Wang were shocked again.
"ah?"
That's it?
High-end, royal use?
The Nanyang royal family has indeed never seen anything good.
"Giggle."
At this moment.
The young Queen Wang and the beautiful palace maids no longer cared about their manners and laughed out loud under Shen Lie's vivid description.
At ease.
Shen Lie rolled up his sleeves, walked to a large iron pot, picked up a kitchen knife and a spatula, and showed an honest smile to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
That look seemed to be saying.
Hold on.
Look at Wei Chen showing off his skills to the Queen Mother!
Under the watchful eyes of the Queen Mother, the Empress and a group of palace maids, Shen Lie personally selected several large and plump sweet potatoes, washed them, peeled them and then used the kitchen knife.
Cut the sweet potato into small pieces, add water to a pot and cook until soft, then slightly crush it with a spoon, then add an appropriate amount of rice and continue to cook until it becomes sticky.
A quarter of an hour later.
When a steaming bowl of sweet potato porridge was handed to the Queen Mother and the Empress, the two ladies stared at it without blinking.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."
After careful reminder from the confidant maid.
Queen Mother Li woke up from a dream, quickly stretched out her delicate hand to take the bowl, picked up the spoon and tried to take a small sip.
Then the bright eyes flashed with two divine lights.
"Um!"
Empress Dowager Li nodded. After being cooked by Shen Qianhu, the food turned into something magical. The food that was originally difficult to swallow turned into something magical.
all of a sudden.
It's sweet and smooth immediately.
"well."
Queen Mother Li was full of praise and tasted some other flavors. The biggest advantage of this product is that it can easily produce a feeling of fullness and prevent overeating.
This coincides with the Taoist concept of health preservation.
And Shen Lie smiled slightly and said: "If the Queen Mother likes this thing, she can also order the royal chef in the palace to cook it well."
As he said this, he listed a menu and cooking methods. Naturally, the royal family must be very particular about what they eat, and various high-end ingredients cannot be omitted.
"You can cut the sweet potato into small pieces, add water and rock sugar in a pot and cook until soft. Then add an appropriate amount of dried longan, wolfberry, peanuts and other ingredients, and continue to cook until the flavor is absorbed."
"In this way, this sweet potato soup is attractive in color, sweet and nourishing. It can replenish qi and blood, beautify the skin, and enhance immunity."
Finished speaking.
The palace maids and eunuchs were all dumbfounded. They stared blankly at Master Shen, who was wearing the official uniform of Dongchang Qianhu, feeling that their outlook on life had been subverted.
