Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 138: The house is full of gold and jade
The queen mother originally thought very well that the most distressed granddaughter should be given to her favorite grandson. The two talents are equal in appearance. It is a match made in heaven. She has been complacent about this for many days. After telling him about this, who would have known that he would actually reply to her in a veiled manner, that he has a sweetheart?
Sooner or later, but this time? The queen mother didn't believe it, it must be another excuse to shirk.
"You have a sweetheart, who's girl?" The school-age daughter of an official of the fourth rank and above in the DPRK, she once had her portraits sent to him and showed him all of them, but he didn't like any of them. There have been no new officials coming to Beijing recently, and I have not heard of a young girl who suddenly has a young girl. Where can he find his sweetheart?
Looking at the expression of the queen mother, Jun Qianyu faintly felt that things might not go well today: "It's a girl I know outside."
"Knowing from outside? What family background?"
"She's an orphan, but she's a good person, and she's sincere to her grandson."
The queen mother suddenly smiled "hehe": "With your identity and appearance, which girl would not be sincere? If you really like it, that's fine, Shiqing is not a stingy person, after Shiqing passes the door, you It’s enough to take her in the door, since she is an orphan, it’s almost the same as an aunt.”
Jun Qianyu clenched his fists tightly with both hands, but he knew that now was not the time for a dispute, so he just replied lightly: "The emperor's grandmother is right, by the way, at the dinner table today, I saw that there was no meat in the vegetarian dishes, could it be the palace The royal chef in China is not doing well? The grandson sees that the emperor’s grandmother seems to have been reduced. The grandson went to Guangzhou to host the chef competition this time, and he also met many chefs with excellent cooking skills in the folk, but he needs to call in a few. Gonglai specially cooks for the imperial grandmother?"
When I talk about this queen mother, I get angry: "I used to be a vegetarian for decades, but your father, Huangfei, said that eating meat is good for my body. But it became more and more cumbersome. Thanks to Shiqing's arrival in time, Shiqing said that livestock and poultry are all spiritual beings. Poisonous meat will get sick over time."
Jun Qianyu frowned: "Grandmother, isn't this kind of fallacious theory banned long ago? Why do you still believe it?"
The queen mother was dissatisfied: "Why is it wrong? Shi Qing said that this is a theory that some overseas masters have studied for decades, and it makes sense."
Jun Qianyu said with a smile: "Cousin Shiqing has been living in Yunnan for a long time, how do you know what overseas studies have been taught?"
"Why don't you know? That was said by the genius doctor who helped her to recuperate her body all the year round. Back then, when your cousin was born, she was born with insufficiency, only a little bit as big as a kitten. If it wasn't for the genius doctor's proper conditioning, how could it be like this today? A healthy body, don't look at me, I seem to have lost some weight now, Shiqing said, money can't buy old and thin, this is the best!"
"Okay, you're right. Since the grandmother likes to eat vegetarian food, and the grandson also knows a lot of people who are very good at making vegetarian dishes, why not bring someone to cook for the grandmother tomorrow?"
Jun Qianyu has confidence in Ning Xi's cooking skills. Since it can't make sense from the front, he can only save the country with a curve.
The queen mother thought about it carefully. In fact, she felt that the food she had eaten during this period was a bit bland and tasteless. It was a blessing to listen to Wu Shiqing talking about the benefits of eating this way every day, so she could persevere all the time. It's delicious, but I can't help but drool a little.
"That's fine, but let's talk about it first. You have to ask Shiqing what to cook for the people you bring in, and she says it's fine."
"Don't worry, the grandmother will of course take your health as the most important thing."
After Jun Qianyu went back that night, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Ning Xi, Ning Xi looked at it in his heart, but pretended to know nothing on his face: "What did you eat tonight? You made a late-night snack, but you can still eat it?"
"Is there a late-night snack? That's great, I didn't eat a few bites of dinner, I was already starving."
Ningxi gave a cup of stewed Guanyan with sweet-scented osmanthus and wolfberry with a smile. The top-grade white swallow cup was decorated with a few bright red wolfberries and light yellow sweet-scented osmanthus, which is not only more nourishing and moisturizing, but also refreshing It is pleasing to the eye and the appetite is greatly increased.
We don't have good ingredients on weekdays. When I returned to the palace, I naturally had everything. Ning Xi stewed this nourishing food for him to moisten his throat and clear his lungs.
Jun Qianyu was a little disappointed: "Why don't you eat meat?" He is not usually a meat lover, but because of that bland dinner, he really misses the taste of big fish and big meat. stand up.
Ning Xi glanced at him: "It's a big night, why are you eating so fat? If you really want to eat meat, I'll cook it for you tomorrow."
Jun Qianyu was just joking. After seeing this bird's nest, his appetite was widened. He immediately picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. I just felt like it was ironed all the way from throat to stomach.
After eating several mouthfuls in a row, I paused for a while, and then I apologized a little: "I'm afraid you will have to work hard for a while tomorrow, and go to the palace to cook a few dishes for the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother, is that your grandmother?"
"Exactly."
"Since I'm an elder, I should cook for her, so what's the hard work?" Ning Xi is not someone who clings to the powerful, but the other person is his elder, so it's different. She likes him, naturally He also wants to be nice to his family.
"The queen mother is actually a good person, but she is old, and sometimes her thoughts are a little paranoid. If you say something unpleasant, don't mind too much. It's best if you can please her this time, if not. , that's ok, let's think of something else." Then, Jun Qianyu told Ning Xi about Wu Shiqing's situation, of course, he concealed the fact that the Queen Mother intended them to be a pair, and only said that because of The Queen Mother believed in Wu Shiqing so much that it had a certain impact on her body. She hoped that Ning Xi could use her craftsmanship to awaken the Queen Mother's desire for food.
Ning Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can't say anything else. I still have confidence in myself."
The two of them slept in the same bed at night. Naturally, it was inevitable that they would be rubbing against each other. Ning Xi actually couldn't figure it out. He had already reached this level. What difference would he make if he didn't do the last step? I really don't know what he's insisting on. Let's just say for the sake of her reputation. The two of them live together. How can she still be innocent in the eyes of others? It's so frustrating not to eat it!
After thinking about it, it can only be explained that he probably has a bridal complex!
Before going to bed, Ning Xi casually asked the Queen Mother what taboos she had on her diet, Jun Qianyu thought for a while and said, "The taboos are nothing, but the Queen Mother can't eat spicy food, especially the taste of celery, green peppers and shiitake mushrooms. , There is also a carrot that came from overseas. She is also unwilling to eat it. As long as she avoids these ingredients as much as possible, she can do anything else. Oh, by the way, the queen mother pays attention to exquisite and gorgeous food, and it is best to be able to There are some nice sayings, it will make her old man even more happy."
Ningxi was about to fall asleep, thinking in a daze, there must be no shortage of ingredients in the palace. That's alright, she can make a full-fledged meal in Man and Han, and it's not a problem at all to make a few vegetarian dishes with all the flavors and tastes to make the elderly happy.
How did she know that when Jun Qianyu brought Ning Xi into the palace the next morning, and was brought into the stove specially made for her in the imperial kitchen by the maid, she realized that she was still underestimating the enemy. It turned out that people didn't give her the opportunity to choose ingredients at all.
Instead, she put a basket of vegetables directly in front of her: "This is what Ms. Qing explained. I will use these to cook today."
Ning Xi turned over the vegetable basket, celery, shiitake mushrooms and green peppers, corn, water chestnuts, as well as two shriveled carrots and a pile of tofu skin, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that this young lady had intentions Make her look ugly!
But she really wasn't afraid!
Ning Xi only thought about it for a while before deciding what to cook for today. Jun Qianyu only asked her to cook a few dishes to attract the attention of the queen mother, and did not let her complete the whole table of dishes alone. Since the girl Qing wanted to make her look ugly and provided limited ingredients, she only used these queen mothers. The most hated ingredients can make a dish that can make her full of praise. She believes that this appearance will make people even more amazing!
Cut the tofu skin into large square pieces and set aside for later use.
All kinds of vegetables are taken out and washed, celery and mushrooms are cut into fine pieces, water chestnuts and carrots are peeled and cut into fine pieces, corn is peeled into small pieces, and then mixed together, seasoned with salt and sauce, fortunately in the There are no restrictions on the seasoning, she can use it as she pleases.
Then take a clean flat iron plate, heat the bottom of the fire, apply a layer of crispy paste after the iron plate is heated, spread two pieces of tofu skin, and then apply a thin layer of crispy paste on the tofu skin Paste, spread the seasoned vegetable grains on top, cover with a tofu skin, spread a layer of crispy paste, then sprinkle a layer of vegetable grains, and finally add a layer of tofu skin on the surface, smear the crispy paste .
Under the heat of the iron plate, the crispy paste quickly wraps the contents of the tofu skin into a whole piece.
Then put the prepared tofu skin in hot oil and deep fry it until golden brown. Take out the oil to control the dryness, cut it into small cubes and put it on the plate. In the blank space next to it, Ning Xi showed her superb skills. A lifelike peony flower is carved out of carrots and placed on it, with small golden cubes, and the whole dish is full of richness and nobility.
Ningxi picked up the plate and handed it to the **** who delivered the dishes: "The hall is full of gold and jade!"
