Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 139: Delicious and healthy
When the **** brought the dish made by Ning Xi, the table was already full of dishes, all of which were drawn up by Wu Shiqing and asked the imperial kitchen to cook it.
There are steamed yam, stewed ears, cold green clothes, stewed Sydney with lily, and a pot of barley and lotus seed porridge, all of which are very light dishes. The recipes are also in accordance with Wu Shiqing's requirements, with less salt and less oil, and the taste is very light .
If it is a hot summer and you are thirsty, you may still have some appetite in the face of these light dishes, but it is winter now, although the charcoal fire in the Queen Mother's bedroom is vigorously burning, after all, at this time, I still hope to have some Hot oily water in the belly.
Therefore, none of the four people sitting at the table actually moved their chopsticks.
The four people at this table are the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress and Jun Qianyu. Recently, the empress and empress also have some hardships, but because the empress dowager believes in Wu Shiqing, she also has many demands on them in terms of food, which makes the empress and empress I haven't eaten anything good for almost a month, and my mouth is terribly dull. When I heard that Jun Qianyu had found a folk chef to cook for the Queen Mother, he rushed over in a hurry, just hoping to be full. Mouth blessing.
I didn't expect these things to be served in a clear soup with little water.
The queen looked at Jun Qianyu pitifully, and said with a look in her eyes, "Didn't you say there is something good to eat?"
Wu Shiqing was standing behind the Queen Mother and was putting a piece of white steamed yam into the plate in front of the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, yam invigorates the spleen, relieves fatigue and strengthens the body. It is especially good for the elderly. Eat some."
The queen mother smiled and nodded: "Yes, the emperor has had a hard time dealing with the affairs of the state, so he should eat more, come and come, come and eat."
The queen picked up the chopsticks wisely and took a piece for the emperor and Jun Qianyu each: "The emperor is busy with politics, and Yu'er is busy outside. It's all hard work. Eat more to replenish your body." After speaking, she put down the chopsticks with a smile. , pretending not to see the emperor's sad little eyes.
The queen mother had already picked up the chopsticks, and the remaining few people could not do anything. They reluctantly picked up the steamed yam that had no taste, and was about to send it into the mouth. Suddenly, a strong aroma came from the nose, which made people feel Yi Zhen stopped his hand unconsciously, and his eyes turned to the little **** who was serving the food.
As the little **** put a plate of golden and lustrous dishes on the table, the big **** next to him also waved the dust and sang the name of the dish aloud: "Jinyu full house!"
As soon as the voice fell, the four pairs of chopsticks had already stretched out, each holding a small golden cube, which they couldn't wait to put into their mouths.
Crispy on the entrance, soft on the inside, the most important thing is that the taste is enough. The salty, fresh, crisp and fragrant taste fully infiltrates every taste bud in the mouth, and then extends to the limbs and bones, making people feel from the inside. Comfortable outside.
With the constant ups and downs of the chopsticks, everyone is gorging themselves, for fear of missing a piece if they are not careful.
Two pairs of silver chopsticks landed on the last piece of fried vegetable in the plate at the same time, Jun Qianyu raised his eyes and smiled, and let go of the chopsticks: "Father, please."
The emperor picked up the fried vegetarian recipe and put it in front of the queen mother: "This last piece, please let the queen mother taste it!"
The empress dowager is full of joy and she is about to put it in her mouth when she suddenly hears Wu Shiqing behind her say, "Grandma, this fried stuff is not good for the body, and the stuffing inside doesn't know what to use..." Seeing how many people were so happy eating, Wu Shiqing gritted her teeth in anger. That cook was so daring. She specially prepared the ingredients that the Queen Mother hated the most. How dare that person not use it?
Listening to what she said, the queen mother put down her chopsticks hesitantly. She has sacrificed a lot of food for her health during this period of time. She can't let her previous efforts go to waste for this moment's appetite.
The other three people at the table were not happy when they heard the words. When Princess Changning was not married, the queen didn't like her arrogance, and she didn't like her daughter. As for the emperor, it was hard to eat it. Some delicious food, being made irresponsible, even if it is the niece of one's own niece, it does not feel very comfortable in the heart. These two people are only because of the queen mother's face, so they can't say much.
Jun Qianyu sneered in his heart and said to the queen mother: "Grandma, why not ask the chef who made this dish to tell me what kind of fillings are used?"
The queen mother nodded: "Alright."
Jun Qianyu ordered to go on, and soon, Ning Xi, led by the inner servant, walked in gracefully, and according to the rules he had learned before, he kowtowed without squinting: "Ning Xi, the daughter of the people, greets the Queen Mother, The emperor, the queen, and Prince Yu."
Ning Xi kept her eyes down, so she didn't notice that Wu Shiqing, who was standing behind the queen mother, suddenly changed her face. The back of the chair barely stabilized his body.
The queen mother noticed her strangeness and looked back at her worriedly: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Shiqing hurriedly said: "Thank you grandmother for your concern, Qinger is fine."
As soon as the voice fell, Ning Xi was stunned. How could this voice be so familiar...
Before I had time to think about it, the queen mother had already begun to ask: "This is full of gold and jade, is it you who did it?"
"Back to the empress dowager is exactly what the women did."
"Then tell me, what did you use in this dish?"
"Back to the Empress Dowager, Minnv made this dish using ingredients that the imperial kitchen pre-designated for Minnv, including celery, shiitake mushrooms, water chestnuts, carrots and corn, and the outer skin was made of tofu skin." Ning Xi answered unhurriedly.
The Queen Mother's face changed: "Is there celery and mushrooms?" She turned to ask Wu Shiqing, "Qing'er, what's going on?" Everyone knows that she never touches celery and mushrooms, so the royal kitchen never touches celery and mushrooms. She didn't dare to bring these two dishes to her.
Wu Shiqing has regained her composure at this moment: "Grandmother, Qing'er clearly told the imperial kitchen that you must not use these kinds of ingredients, and I don't know what went wrong, but such a mistake happened, Qing'er later It will definitely be investigated in detail, does my grandmother feel uncomfortable now that she ate something she never ate?"
The queen mother stroked her chest: "I don't think so." Then she looked at the last piece of fried vegetarian recipe left on the plate, and said suspiciously: "Is there really celery and mushrooms in this thing? What should I do? Didn't you eat it?"
Jun Qianyu said with a smile: "This shows that the emperor's grandmother does not like to eat celery and mushrooms, but the cooks in the past are not good enough."
The queen mother nodded: "Well, this dish is very well done, it should be rewarded!"
Wu Shiqing said: "Grandmother, Qing'er thinks it's not the woman's credit that this dish is delicious. The fried food is fragrant, and with strong seasoning, it is naturally delicious, but eating this kind of food all year round will make you feel bad. It will have a bad effect on the body. If the grandmother rewards this person, other people in the kitchen will think that this will please the grandmother, and the future cooking will be biased towards the direction of heavy oil and salt, which is not good."
"This..." The Queen Mother hesitated.
Ning Xi suddenly said: "Empress Dowager, please forgive the woman for saying a word, health preservation is important, but it must be done according to one's ability. If a person likes to eat delicious food, but she has to restrict her from eating all kinds of delicious food, It will only cause mental depression, but it is not good for the body. What’s more, eating a bland diet does not mean that you have to eat these bland foods. In fact, real health dishes can also be made delicious and feel good every day. Eating a variety of delicious dishes in moderation, combined with proper exercise, is the foundation of health.”
"Hmph, full of rhetoric! Delicacy and health cannot coexist at all. Grandma, don't listen to her nonsense!" Wu Shiqing said disdainfully.
Hearing this familiar statement, Ning Xi couldn't help but raised her head, just one glance, she was stunned, the woman in front of her, except for her hairstyle and clothes, had a face that looked as good as her previous life Best friend Shao Jiaqing is exactly the same.
Although they are good friends, the two have completely different views on food.
Ningxi is a world-renowned beauty chef. For her, there is only one criterion for food, and that is to be delicious.
And Shao Jiaqing is a diet and weight loss maniac. For her, all food is the enemy of weight loss. She opened a food company. Meal, but in that era, her idea was very popular, and her business was booming.
Shao Jiaqing has a mantra, that is - deliciousness and health cannot coexist!
Ning Xi's heart was shocked, Shao Jiaqing, could it be that she also crossed over like her?
"Bold!" Wu Shiqing suddenly shouted angrily, "I don't even look at your identity, do you see this county master like that?" Before entering Beijing, the emperor gave her the title of county master, so she can call herself like this .
Jun Qianyu also stood up: "Wu Shiqing, don't be too aggressive." Turning to the queen mother, he said, "Grandma, as long as you say a word now, are you satisfied with Ningxi's cooking today?"
The queen mother is of course satisfied, and she is more inclined to Ning Xi's statement in her heart. She is expensive as the queen mother, but she has to live a day where she doesn't know the taste of food. She was coaxed by Wu Shiqing every day. Now, after listening to Ning Xi's words, and thinking about it carefully, no matter how healthy and long-lived a day like this is, it's really meaningless, isn't it?
What's more, Ningxi also said that real health dishes can be made delicious!
So what Shiqing makes her eat every day, are these really healthy dishes?
It's just that she really felt sorry for this granddaughter and couldn't bear to embarrass her for an outsider. She was about to say something to make a round of it, when she suddenly felt the world was spinning, and she was in a daze, only to hear Wu Shiqing exclaimed: "Grandmother, what are you doing? already?"
