Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 146: Five-grain health porridge

In the end, the queen mother also felt sorry for her. She was beaten and scolded at the moment. Seeing her frightened appearance, she couldn't bear it, she only sighed heavily and said, "Get up. Go back and think about it, what did you do wrong!"

Jun Qianyu didn't even think about letting the queen mother give up on Wu Shiqing all at once. It's good to be able to plant a thorn in the heart of the queen mother like now. This article is published

Naturally, I wasn't in the mood to eat supper. Jun Qianyu sent the queen mother back, and after some consolation, he returned to his residence.

Ning Xi is still fighting at night. She originally thought that it would be easy to leave a recipe. Who knows that there are so many things to write until it is written.

Jun Qianyu walked behind her, bent down and put his arms around her shoulders, watching her writing seriously, stroke by stroke, but the appearance of the brush was a bit ridiculous, it was actually a thrush eyebrow, with a sharpened end Now, wrap it in a circle of cloth to write.

The handwriting is also strange, and I don't know how the husband who taught her to read was taught her. The characters she wrote lacked strokes and strokes, and some of them were not written at all. Thanks to her writing so seriously.

Actually, Ningxi has also learned a lot of traditional characters during this period of time. It is perfectly fine to use traditional characters for general correspondence, but she thought that this was written for Shao Jiaqing anyway, so she simply used all of them. Simplified characters make it faster to write.

Jun Qianyu looked amused: "It's strange that others can understand your recipe written like this."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Wu Shiqing can understand it."

"How do you know she can read?"

"Uh, I guess."

"Okay, don't be so serious, just write whatever you want. You really want to teach her everything!"

Ning Xi raised her head and looked at him seriously: "I didn't do this for Wu Shiqing, I did it for your parents and your grandmother!" She always felt that it was too natural to talk about the queen mother and the emperor. The family's intimacy can only be reflected by the names of parents and grandmothers.

Jun Qianyu twisted her nose: "Little girl, be careful when others say you are disrespectful." But his heart moved slightly. Since he was sensible, he has never called the words father and mother, and now he hears it in his ears. , but there is a strange feeling.

"I know, I only said it in private."

"Stop writing and rest with me!" Jun Qianyu whispered in her ear, with a different kind of hoarseness in his voice.

Ning Xi's heart trembled, and he naturally knew what he was thinking. He glanced at the hourglass on the table. Although he really wanted to write for a while, he couldn't bear to refuse him, so he put it down and wrote it down. Those papers put away: "Let's go!"

Jun Qianyu had been waiting for her to say this for a long time, and immediately picked her up and walked to the bedroom.

"Over there, I haven't washed yet!"

"Let's go later!" He threw the person on the bed and pressed him.

The tent was deep, and the trees were shaken by the wind outside the window, and it started to rain.

Ning Xi lay panting in Jun Qianyu's arms, listening to the sound of the rain outside: "Actually, if we are like this, it's no different from becoming a parent, right?" She really couldn't understand this man, obviously he It wasn't Liu Xiahui, but she was able to restrain herself at the last moment, and then express it in her hands.

"It's not the same!" Jun Qian said hoarsely, patted her back, watched her slowly fall asleep, and finally said in a low voice, "If I really can't get married with you, you still You can marry someone else, and you won't be bullied for not being perfect."

On the second day, Ning Xi still got up early, took a shower and went to the kitchen.

The ingredients to be used have been explained last night, so they are ready at this time. What she is going to do is a five-grain health porridge called five-grain. In fact, the ingredients used are very rich, including corn, millet, Dry rice, barley, oats, sweet potatoes, black beans, broad beans, mung beans, peas, also supplemented with barley, black rice, red beans, red dates, etc.

The various ingredients are washed and soaked separately, and then they are put into the pot at different times according to the degree of ease of cooking, and simmered patiently and slowly.

In addition, I also made several kinds of pastry snacks, such as pumpkin red date puree, sweet-scented osmanthus yam cake, black sesame walnut steamed bun, yam and wolfberry cake, scallion oil sesame cake, egg yolk thousand layer cake, etc., and served with a few dishes of refreshing side dishes , this breakfast is ready.

During this period of time, the queen mother got used to eating and had to listen to her. Wu Shiqing was sentenced to refrain from thinking, so she asked Ning Xi to come up.

Ningxi didn't see Wu Shiqing, but it was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it, and calmly talked about it: "Five grains and miscellaneous grains have a long history of nourishing one's health. "Nursing, five fruits are helpful, five animals are beneficial, and five vegetables are full", this small bowl of porridge is the first porridge to keep healthy and warm up!"

As he was talking, a person suddenly came in from outside the door: "I heard that the imperial grandmother has good food here, so my grandson didn't invite her."

The palace maids and eunuchs in the house saluted: "Prince Prince!"

The queen mother laughed: "This is a pointy nose. Ai's family can't hide any good things here? Hurry up, hurry up and show the prince a seat."

Only then did Ning Xi know that it was Jun Qianyu's eldest brother, the current Crown Prince. Seeing that his appearance is indeed a little worse than Jun Qianyu, but his appearance is dignified, his bearing is graceful, and he has the demeanor of a high-ranking person.

The prince sat down and took a few bites, and praised: "It's really a good thing, if it wasn't for the grandson who had the cheek to put it together, he wouldn't be able to eat such a delicious meal! When did we come to the palace with such a good craftsmanship? Royal chef?"

The queen said: "This is not an ordinary royal chef. This palace and your father are also exposed to the queen mother's light to have the opportunity to eat such a delicious delicacy!"

"Oh? I don't know who did it?"

The queen mother glanced at Ning Xi and said gently: "It's this girl Ningxi, this is your fifth brother..." After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "My friend."

The prince suddenly gave a high five: "Great!"

Everyone looked at him for unknown reasons.

The prince continued to be excited: "I didn't expect that there are such master chefs in our palace, and they don't have to be arrogant anymore."

"What happened to the people of Dayue?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The prince then explained it in detail and solved everyone's doubts.

This country of Dayue is a small country in the north of Dayue. It has always bowed its head to Dayue. Every year, it sends envoys to pay tribute. This year is no exception. Two days ago, the delegation of Dayue arrived. Beijing.

In the past two years, in order to train the prince, the emperor has already handed over many affairs to the prince, and the matter of receiving the envoys of the Dayue Kingdom was also handed over to him. The emperor did not ask any more questions. , but there was a young and beautiful woman, and this woman turned out to be the most beloved daughter of the King of Dayue today, Princess Xia Bo.

This Princess Xia Bo accompanied her to Da Zhou, and the purpose of Da Yue is self-evident.

In fact, intermarriage between the two countries is of great benefit to both countries. Although the country of Dayue is not large, it can be regarded as a nation on horseback. The borders are stable in the year, the recuperation is good, and the national strength has been greatly strengthened. If he really has an evil intention, it will also be a big threat to Da Zhou.

Even if Da Zhou is not afraid of Da Yue, but together with the flames of war, it is the people on the border who will suffer.

However, the choice of the princess is also a problem. The princess of Dayue has a noble status, so she naturally needs someone from the royal family to match. However, several princes above Jun Qianyu, including himself, not only have already married the concubine, but also The position of the side concubine is already full, and the most suitable one is Jun Qianyu, who is not yet married. But he also knew the temperament of this fifth brother, and it was more difficult to convince him to marry a wife than to ascend to heaven.

When the Crown Prince was having a headache, the Princess Xia Bo spoke again. She loved food since she was a child, and she never wanted to live in a place lacking food. Therefore, unless someone in Da Zhou could excel in cooking She has passed the few Dayue chefs she brought with her, otherwise, she would not be willing to stay in Dayue.

Of course, some people are not satisfied with these words, and it is not waiting for the prince to react. Some folk chefs who think they have two brushes have spontaneously started to challenge the several Dayue chefs brought by Princess Xia Bo, but this Dayue chef Their cooking skills are really not bragging. Many of their ingredients and skills are very different from Da Zhou, but it is undeniable that they are indeed extremely delicious.

After two days, the chefs of Da Zhou who came to the challenge were convinced that they lost.

Princess Xia Bo proudly said, "I can't think of your big country, but you can't even keep a little girl like me!"

The prince entered the palace this time, of course, not to eat these two bites. The main purpose is to pick out a few good chefs in the palace to compete with the chef of Dayue brought by Princess Xiabo. Frustrating their prestige, he didn't expect that there was an unexpected joy, which made him discover a master chef like Ning Xi.

After saying this, the prince said to Jun Qianyu: "Fifth brother, this time I have to trouble your friend to help us with this!"

Jun Qianyu smiled lazily: "It depends on Ning Xi herself."

Ning Xi hurriedly said, "Since it's a matter of Da Zhou's face, Ning Xi will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever it takes."

The crown prince said happily: "That's great, then ask Miss Ning to go out with Ben Gong?"

Ning Xi hesitated a bit: "But the Queen Mother is here..."

Of course, the queen mother should focus on the overall situation: "You just go, the Aijia has its own royal chef to take care of it."

Ning Xi thought for a while, and took out a stack of paper from her arms. This is the recipe she wrote last night and handed it over to Jun Qianyu: "Here are some recipes, all of which the Queen Mother will need in the near future, can you help me? I will give it to the royal chef to follow the above method, and if there is anything I don't understand, please come and ask me again."
