Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 144: Hibiscus fillets

Since it was the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Empress who were having dinner together, Ning Xi naturally didn't dare to neglect. Before the hot dishes, he prepared eight cold dishes. He didn't pay attention to any health benefits. Appetizing effect.

The eight cold dishes are: goose breast with rouge, delicious eggplant, crystal elbow flower, purple fragrant tiger tail, golden hairpin and silver wire, Zhongbao drunk crab, jade feather coat and crispy crucian carp.

When the food was served, the **** sang the name of the dish loudly, and the name of the dish was even more interesting.

Next is the hot dish. To let vegetarians accept meat, a classic "boiled cabbage" is essential. The boiled cabbage made by Ningxi is a whole cabbage like mutton fat. Lying quietly in the clear water, decorated with brightly colored dried shrimps, ham and scallops, the Queen Mother had a big appetite when she saw it, and nodded again and again: "That's good!"

Wu Shiqing beside her immediately obediently put a soft leaf into the plate in front of the queen mother, the queen mother took a bite, and a strange look appeared on her face: "What kind of cabbage is this, it can be so delicious ?"

Wu Shiqing explained with a smile: "Grandma, this is not an ordinary boiled cabbage. To make this boiled cabbage, you must first boil a large amount of chicken, pork, ham, etc. for a few hours, and after boiling it into a top soup, Then hang it into a clear soup, and finally steam the cabbage in the clear soup, do you think it tastes good?" As he said, he gestured with his hands.

The queen mother inadvertently saw a red mark on the back of her hand and asked strangely: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Wu Shiqing's face flushed, and she quickly put her hands behind her back: "It's all because of Qing'er's lack of learning skills, and she accidentally burned herself while cooking soup for her grandmother."

The queen mother took her hand over in distress and blew it carefully: "You child, let the servants do all the rough work, how can you do it yourself, you look at the girl's hand But what's important, what if there is a scar." After speaking, he quickly ordered the maid beside him to fetch the snow lotus jade ointment from the Western Regions.

Wu Shiqing has heard of the preciousness of the "Snow Lotus Jade Rong Cream". Whether it is a new scar or an old scar, as long as you apply it a few times, it will gradually disappear, but there are only five bottles in total, except for the Queen Mother and the The queen had two bottles each, and only the imperial concubine who was the most favored by the emperor had one bottle. Even the newly favored jade concubine cried and wanted to get it!

Wu Shiqing secretly rejoiced in her heart, but she quickly said: "It's Qing'er's blessing to be able to cook for her grandmother by herself. What is this little injury? Besides, she has already taken medicine, so it doesn't hurt anymore."

At this time, the snow lotus jade cream has been taken, but a small bottle was placed in the brocade on the tray, and the queen mother took it and put it in Wu Shiqing's hands: "Then you have to take good care of it, this thing is the age of the palace. It won't work when it's too old, so give it to you young people! Remember to apply it twice a day, but it will be back to normal in a few days."

"Thank you grandmother, come, grandmother eat more. This is hibiscus fish fillet, which is made of egg white and fish paste. It is very delicate." Wu Shiqing coquettishly served the queen mother.

"Good, good, my granddaughter made it, it must be delicious."

The so-called hibiscus means that it comes out of the silt without being stained, and the ice is clear and clean. This hibiscus fish fillet is made of egg whites, beaten into egg paste, and topped with fish paste, and then stirred with egg whites to make a thick egg liquid, poured in the fish paste. In the pot, put it into the pot and soak it until it is medium cooked, then remove from the fire. Use a spoon to cut out the fish paste covered with egg paste into a willow leaf shape, and then slowly heat the oil to soak the fish paste until cooked.

When cooking, be careful to control the oil temperature to ensure that the color of the fish paste is white, the taste is between steamed and fried, and the meat is extremely tender.

Wu Shiqing took Ning Xi's credit for himself with a few words, and Jun Qianyu sneered in his heart, this woman, don't give her some color, she doesn't know how high the sky is.

The little **** he had just sent to watch had already told him that all these dishes were made by Ning Xi himself. This Wu Shiqing, but she had been sitting on the sidelines all the time, but before finally serving the dishes, she said she wanted to I changed clothes to get rid of the smell of oil smoke on my body, but when I came out, there was an inexplicable red mark on the back of my hand. Now I know that this red mark is used for this purpose.

In addition to the two dishes just now, the dishes prepared by Ningxi for dinner include astragalus and black chicken soup, yam milk and meat soup, stewed crucian carp with ginseng, plantain ruyi vegetable rolls, drunken shrimp with berries, pearl barley balls, etc. Wait for some dishes that have the same origin of medicine and food, and look light and delicious.

Finally, there is dessert, which is a bird's nest stewed with mulberry paste, honey and goat's milk. Mulberry has a calming effect. Use this dessert at dinner to help you sleep at night.

Naturally, Wu Shiqing just let this go, and she showed off again in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen didn't like Wu Shiqing at first, she couldn't stand her acting like a spoiled child in front of the Queen Mother, and she said to Jun Qianyu: "This dish is all made by the girl named Ningxi? You tell her, Ben Gong and Your father is very satisfied."

Jun Qianyu smiled: "Thank you for your praise."

Although it is a child born by himself, this handsome face has been seen since he was a child, but this child has loved to be cool since he was sensible, and usually does not give a smile. The queen was stunned for a moment, and a sour taste surged in her heart. She had suffered a lot, and the child she had conceived and raised in October had to give herself a smile because of another woman. I really couldn't help it!

In fact, if he really likes it that much, it's no big deal if he does, and he can often eat such delicious dishes in the future! Thinking of this, the queen raised her head and exchanged a look with the emperor. They seemed to understand what everyone was thinking, nodded to each other, and left hand in hand.

The queen mother had not eaten such delicious food for a long time, but she was able to eat it all of a sudden. Jun Qianyu offered to accompany the queen mother for a walk and eat, and Wu Shiqing would naturally follow, but Jun Qianyu said: " Although the imperial grandmother ate a lot for dinner, these are not very full. It is still early now, and I may be hungry after walking around. I have to work hard for my cousin Shiqing to prepare some light supper for the imperial grandmother. What!"

Wu Shiqing had no choice but to smile: "What the fifth cousin said is that Qing'er will prepare now."

Respectfully watched the backs of the Queen Mother and Jun Qianyu go away, and then cursed secretly: "Damn old woman, you know how to eat it all day long!"

As a last resort, I still have to find Ningxi: "Ningxi, the queen mother said she wants to have a late-night snack, so hurry up and prepare!"

Ning Xi is now washing her hands and sitting at the desk with a pen, carefully writing the health care menu for each season, and at the same time attaching detailed ingredients and methods. After hearing what she said, she stopped: " No problem, I'm going to prepare now, Ah Qing, do you want to come over and learn together?"

Wu Shiqing stood in the kitchen for half an afternoon today, and she was already exhausted. She just wanted to go back to her room and take a hot bath, and then apply a nourishing body lotion all over her body to massage and enjoy , naturally do not want to be tired in the kitchen.

"You write down all these practices, right?"

"Of course."

"That's alright, I'll look at it later. The Queen Mother still has something to do with me. You can do it first. When the Queen Mother wants to eat, I'll come over."

Jun Qianyu walked with the queen mother for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect that cousin Shiqing was a filial piety and would cook for the grandmother herself."

"That's right, she really has a heart." The empress dowager is kind and authentic. Usually, if the concubine in the palace wants to please her, she will bring some stews and the like, saying that she made it by herself, but everyone knows it. Du Ming was just standing in the kitchen and saying a few words. Seeing that Wu Shiqing even burned her hands in order to cook for her today, the Queen Mother was very moved when she thought of it.

Jun Qianyu said again: "Cousin Shiqing looks so delicate and her ten fingers don't touch the spring water, but the grandson can't imagine what she will look like when she works." Then, she expressed her curiosity. Appearance, "Grandma, why don't we go quietly to see how cousin Shiqing cooks?"

When people get old, they will have a childish temperament. When Jun Qianyu is so swayed by him, the Queen Mother's curiosity is also provoked by him. He also thinks that this grandson is very interested in Shiqing, so he also enthusiastically said: "That's good."

Jun Qianyu waved his hands and walked back to the left and right, and personally supported the Queen Mother to the small kitchen.

The little palace maid on duty at the kitchen door saw the two and hurriedly wanted to kneel and salute. Jun Qianyu made a silent gesture, and the little palace maid saluted silently, standing with her head bowed and not daring to speak. The two quietly walked out the window and looked in.

But there was only Ning Xi and a palace maid inside. Ning Xi was standing by the stove, stirring the ingredients in the casserole intently.

She had bathed and changed her clothes when she finished cooking in the afternoon. At this time, she was wearing a simple white dress, her long black hair was hanging down, and she simply tied a bunch of it with a white hosta on top of her head. Doing the most human fireworks action, but in such a hidden firelight, it makes people taste a kind of dusty taste.

The queen mother couldn't help sighing: "Actually, this is also a good child. She looks like this, but the palace thinks of someone."

Without waiting for Jun Qianyu to reply, the queen mother said to herself: "Do you still remember that Mrs. Mei, who taught your elder brother to read, has a daughter in his family who is as old as your aunt Changning, and looks like a jade. Xue is so cute, she used to come to the palace to play when she was a child, alas, it’s a pity, her life is unfortunate, if it hadn’t happened in the first place, her daughter would probably be as big as your cousin Shiqing.”

Jun Qianyu was taken aback, he never wanted Ning Xi's true identity to be discovered, so he hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?"

The queen mother laughed at herself: "When people are old, they like to think about the past. I know you young people don't like to listen to it. Hey, by the way, where is your cousin Shiqing?"
