After Xue Ying thanked him, Wu Shanggong got up and said goodbye.She didn't want to read the recipe now, she was stunned for a while, and shed tears again, she really felt depressed, so she walked out of the door, and unconsciously came to the residence of Wu Niangzi before her death.It's still a barren grassy step, and it's still a window lattice full of spider silk, but Mrs.
Wu will never come out of the room to open the door again, pretending to teach her to cook harshly.She remembered that Wu Niangzi said to herself that when she entered the palace at the age of fourteen, her body was carried out three days ago, and for twenty years, she spent her youth in loneliness day after day, which is probably the fate of ordinary palace people.At this time, an internal supervisor led a group of craftsmen to Wu Niangzi's residence, as if to renovate and arrange this place, Xue Ying was stunned for a moment and stepped forward to inquire: "This big official, is this going to be arranged for people to live here?"
”The inner eunuch glanced at Xue Ying, and said coldly: "This room has just died, and it is too unlucky, Ren Zhiban ordered me to wait for repairs, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the eldest lady, and then the officials and relatives will come to the palace to celebrate her birthday, this place is really unsightly." ”Xue Ying returned to the room with infinite thoughts, opened the cookbook given to her by Wu Shangshi for a while, and flipped through a few pages at random, which recorded in detail the methods of many court dishes such as jade soup in the milk room, three kidneys with wine vinegar, fresh shrimp hooves, fried belly with snails, simmered oysters, and goose gizzard soup, and she gradually became fascinated.At the end of this recipe, the method of stir-fried eel is exactly the same as what Wu Niangzi taught herself.But what is a little strange is that behind the recipe of this dish, someone made a mark with a beautiful hairpin flower cake, I don't know if it was done by Xu Yan, the owner of the recipe.The annotation is very simple: the moon eel, also known as the eel, often wanders away from the cave and looks up at the moon when the moon is bright and clean.Maybe it's the special ingredient for making fried eel, Xue Ying thought for a moment and had no clue, she only felt that Wu Niangzi's affairs were really a little weird, and the world in the palace was also chilling, she suddenly missed her own gourd soup shop very much, missed the days with Li Wei, and decided to ask for leave to leave the palace tomorrow no matter what.The author has something to say: The Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Diet has a dish called shrimp and fish soup, but there is no specific method, so I will play freely here.Don't hide it from everyone, I'm a sauerkraut fish control.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-1819:38:51~2020-07-2012:48:28 ~ Thank you to the little angel who voted for the mine: Mumu, Fengqing, yyllzz, Fanji, bbfdfhjbv1; Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 300 bottles of Mumu; yllzz 46 bottles; drop 40 bottles; 37 bottles of Dawn and Sunset; 30 bottles of Jinsi; 20 bottles of Huhu from the fox's house; Snoopy 17 bottles; Sugar candy, let's play with eggs, Qingfan Wuwu, 41464814, 10 bottles of fish; 8 bottles of Fan Ji; Golden Joy, 376950225 Bottle; 2 bottles of Shuluo; 1 more bottle of phoenix flowers; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 68 When Xue Ying returned to the familiar gourd soup shop again, Shen Yao and Zhang Qing were preparing lunch.I was very happy to see her: "The lady is back?"
We thought you were busy preparing for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet these days, and you didn't have time to ask for leave to leave the palace. ”Xue Ying smiled: "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place of long-term love.I haven't been back for a long time, and I can't let go of the things in the store, and I miss you, so I specially asked for leave to come and see. ”Shen Yao is a delicate-minded person, knowing that with Xue Ying's temperament, she will definitely not be able to do everything in the palace, so she thought about it and smiled: "I count the days, and the lady will be able to leave the palace next summer."
Rest assured, since you entered the palace, the business in the store has been getting better and better day by day, and when you come back, you can officially apply to the Metropolitan Commercial Tax Institute to upgrade the gourd soup shop to a regular store. ”Xue Ying smiled: "Okay, then we will re-expand and renovate the store, so that we can attract more customers."
If Daddy were still alive, he would be happy to know the news. ”Xue Ying asked Zhang Qing again: "What do you want to eat at noon, I'll cook and do it." ”Zhang Qing was overjoyed, and was about to say something, but Shen Yao preemptively said: "The lady finally came back from the palace, and she should have a good rest, let me cook today."
I've pretty much prepared the ingredients. ”Shen Yao wanted to make a very homely dish today - crispy but not spicy.Crispy or not spicy is a small crispy broth.Slice the pork tenderloin, then add salt, cooking wine, chopped green onion and marinate for a while, then add the chicken, starch and water and stir, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of pepper.Heat the oil, when the oil temperature is 80% hot, fry the meat slices in the pan until golden brown on both sides, remove them, and put them on a plate for later use.Next, Shen Yao minced the green onion, ginger and garlic, and washed the rape sprouts.Stir-fry the minced green onion and ginger in the pot with oil, add an appropriate amount of water, wait until the water boils, put the fried crispy meat in, then add bean sprouts and rape, about the time of simmering a stick of incense, the meat becomes relatively soft, and then sprinkle in salt, pepper powder and vinegar to taste, simmer for a while, sprinkle a little coriander when it comes out of the pot, and the vinegar of this soup dish is not spicy.Shen Yao also prepared almond cheese for dessert.The practice of almond cheese is not complicated, take the sweet almonds and wash them and soak them overnight in advance, then put them in a mortar and repeatedly mash them into a very fine almond paste, and then filter them through gauze, boil water from the pot and add an appropriate amount of milk, boil the almond paste slowly over low heat, wait until the almond paste becomes thick, and then add a little frosting, and the almond cheese is ready.In order to make the almond cheese taste smoother, Shen Yao specially took it and put it outside the house to freeze for a while.When Shen Yao put today's lunch on the dining table, Xue Ying was really a little hungry, the crispy and spicy meat fried golden yellow, the soup color was clear, and it was also decorated with green rape, exuding a strong pepper fragrance and meat aroma, which stimulated people's appetite very much.Xue Ying tasted a piece of crispy meat first, and after a period of simmering, the original crispy shell became soft and delicious, and the fresh belly of the pork inside and the rich pepper aroma were entangled with each other, forming a very unique flavor of this dish.Xue Ying usually eats fried crispy meat, and she will feel tired after eating a few pieces, but this crispy dish is not spicy and stewed in clear soup, which effectively eliminates the greasy, and retains the refreshing and fresh aroma of the crispy meat, which is really boring.Xue Ying took another sip of soup, sour and spicy is very greasy, but also with a hint of freshness, the bean sprouts are crisp and crispy, the rape is full of soup, the entrance is by no means bland, and it is perfect to eat with rice.It didn't take long for Xue Ying to finish the rice in the bowl.These days, she is in charge of cooking for the Empress Dowager in the palace, and she has seen a lot of high-end ingredients and tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but she always feels that those dishes are too high, and they are not something that ordinary people can afford, or these home-cooked dishes are more fireworks and more comfortable to eat.After eating a simple and delicious lunch, Shen Yao brought everyone a bowl of almond cheese, which was sweet and moist, and the mouth was full of rich almond fragrance and frankincense.After eating the slightly heavier vinegar and not spicy, I drank a sip of cold almond cheese, not to mention how comfortable it was.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was Li Wei who came over, and when he saw Xue Ying, he was stunned for a moment, and then slowly smiled: "It's such a coincidence, you are also back." ”Shen Yao explained to Xue Ying with a smile: "In the days when you are away, Li Shumi often brings people to the store to eat, and sometimes comes to buy wine at noon. ”Xue Ying avoided Li Wei's eager gaze and muttered in a low voice: "Drinking hurts your body, I used to advise you to drink less, why don't you always listen." ”Levi smiled: "Since you last instructed me, I have drunk a lot less, and this time I brought it to my colleagues." ”Shen Yao and Zhang Qing glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and said, "I still have to prepare the ingredients for dinner, you can talk slowly." ”After speaking, he led Zhang Qing and walked away.Li Wei smiled and asked: "The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, I thought you would be very busy, why do you have time to leave the palace today?"
”Xue Ying retold Mrs.
Wu's experience to Li Wei, sighed and said: "I always feel that this thing is very weird, the world in the palace is hot and cold, and the people are treacherous, I feel a little depressed, so I asked for leave to come out to relax." ”Li Wei frowned slightly and asked, "Wait a minute, you said that Mrs.
Wu is an insider in the palace of the first queen?"
”"Yes."
Xue Ying asked casually, "Do you also think this matter is weird?"
”Li Wei lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty suspects that Empress Ruiqing died unexpectedly, so I have secretly investigated this matter.Now that most of the queen's palace people are missing, and the only remaining Wu Niangzi died suddenly, this matter is very strange. ”"Eighty percent of them are people who want to kill their mouths."
Xue Ying pondered: "It's just that I don't understand one thing, the first queen has been dead for many years, if she really died unexpectedly, the murderer should have killed the insider at that time, why did he wait so many years to start?"
”Levi's face suddenly became very ugly, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Let's not discuss these things yet."
The water in the palace is very deep, and the people are unpredictable, I will try my best to get you out of the palace in advance, during this period, you must be careful with your words and deeds, and do not let people with ulterior motives catch the handle. ”Xue Ying agreed, sighed and said, "If nothing else, I can leave this place tomorrow summer." ”Levi nodded, "That's good."
One more thing to tell you.I sent someone to Meizhou to inquire about Wang Ming's whereabouts, but I learned that he also suffered from colica and passed away last month. ”Xue Ying lost her voice and said, "It's such a coincidence, I can almost conclude that someone did it deliberately."
Wang Ming's death, the only clue to investigate the cause of my uncle's death has also been broken. ”Levi pondered for a moment and said, "Xia Wei and Wang Ming both died of colic, it really seems that the same person did it.But you don't have to worry too much, Uncle Ling's servant Liu Sheng, I have been carefully protected, and I may be able to learn some clues from him. ”He saw that Xue Ying's expression was a little depressed, and he persuaded again: "Let's not mention these troublesome things, you can come back easily, let's go out for a walk together." ”Xue Ying was lazy and didn't want to move: "It's strange cold outside, where are we going?"
”Levi smiled and said, "It's a place you've definitely never been to before, let's go." ”Li Wei led Xue Ying out of the door and walked south along the royal street, through the Suzaku Gate, through the Guozijian and the Street Pavilion, the tall city wall of Bianjing City came into view, and it turned out that he had already arrived at the Nanxun Gate in the outer city.Levi smiled and asked, "Do you want to go to the city wall for a walk?"
”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment: "This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”Li Wei greeted the guards downstairs of the city, and the guards recognized him, smiled and saluted, and led him and Xue Ying up the tower together.Ascending to the heights, the panoramic view of Bianjing City comes into view.At this time, it is already late, the smoke of ten thousand homes reflects the purple twilight, the vertical and horizontal alleys shuttle the bustling crowd, and the Cai River, Bianhe River, Wuzhang River, Jinshui River are a thousand acres, surging waves, like a silver chain to the east.The two looked at each other for a long time, but Xue Ying spoke first: "Bianjing City is really grand.Painting bridges and smoke willows, wind curtains and curtains, there must be millions of people. ”"yes."
Levi smiled and said, "Compared to the troubles of our ordinary people, it seems too small.I used to act as an agent for Kaifeng Fuyin, and when I couldn't figure out a difficult case, I would climb the city wall and look into the distance, and my thinking would be much broader. ”Levi paused for a moment and said, "Actually, the problem that is bothering you now, come back in a few days, maybe it will be solved, you really don't have to mind too much."
Life is less than 100, and the most important thing is to live a good life now. ”Xue Ying knew that Li Wei's words were to explain herself, and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean, thank you." ”Levi smiled and scratched her nose: "It's good if you want to, thank you, why are you still so far away from me?"
”The two of them walked hand in hand, and the wind on the city wall was so strong that it blew people's clothes.Xue Ying subconsciously shrank her hand into her sleeve, but saw that Li Wei had stopped, took off her big hat and draped it on her shoulders, and said softly: "The winter wind is too cold, be careful of the cold, let's go back." ”Xue Ying's face turned red suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached out to hold him, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to be separated from you." ”Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he hugged her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, gentle and lingering, a little less desire, a little more soothing, Li Wei casually sorted out her sideburns that were blown by the wind, and whispered in her ear: "I don't want to, you wait for me, as long as you leave the palace, I will definitely marry you into the door with three media and six courtesies." ”I don't know how long it took for Li Wei to let her go lightly, and said with a chuckle: "Today, you took the initiative to admit that you can't leave me, and you are not allowed to regret it in the future." ”Xue Ying blushed and said in a low voice: "I just thought you were a serious person, but you got up like this again and ignored you anymore." ”Shake off his hand and walk forward.On the broad city wall of Bianjing City, the shadows of the two people were separated before, but then they got closer and closer, until they walked hand in hand and slowly walked down the city wall.The author has something to say: I ate Xi'an Dingjia small crispy meat a few years ago, and it was delicious.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-2012:48:28~2020-07-2119:11:25 ~ Thank you to the little angel who voted for the mine: Yvonne 1; Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Su Su Su Moyun 70 bottles; Yvonne 30 bottles; yyllzz, 10 bottles of self-talk; 376950226 bottles; 5 bottles; 3 bottles of Armand by the desert; The phoenix flowers bloom again and 241934961 bottles; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 69 Early the next morning, Xue Ying had just woken up when Levi came to her.Splitting his head asked, "When will you return to the palace today?"
”"Tell Zhang Dianzhi that I'll go back in the afternoon."
Xue Ying was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
”"I just found out that the people in the first queen's palace are now living in Tongming Lane, Huaiyuanfang.We're going to visit the people of the week now, and maybe we'll be able to find some clues. ”Xue Ying and Li Wei hurried to Zhou Neiren's house, and when they entered the courtyard, they had no relatives in Zhou, only a nephew lived with her and helped take care of their daily life.Zhou Nei is about forty years old, there seems to be unstoppable sorrow between his eyebrows, but his demeanor is very good, after asking the two of them to come, he beckoned his nephew to tea, and said in a deep voice: "I have been out of the palace for almost 20 years, and some things are afraid that they have long been blurred, but as long as I remember, I must know everything." ”Li Wei asked casually: "When the first emperor died young, Empress Ruiqing was also grief-stricken and went on a hunger strike to martyr the first emperor, is this true?"
”The voice of the people in the week contained infinite emotion: "The first emperor and the first queen were a couple back then.There are many beauties in the harem of the first emperor, and there are also many famous ladies, but the first emperor still likes to stay in the Kunning Hall of the first queen on weekdays.The first emperor and the first queen are both good at flying white, and they are also good at painting, and the two always have endless words together, which can be regarded as a rare couple.The first emperor died young, and the first queen was indeed grief-stricken at that time. ”"So to speak."
Xue Ying blurted out: "It is reasonable for the first queen to go on a hunger strike to martyr the first emperor. ”"Not really."
Zhou Neiren frowned and said: "The first queen and the official family have a deep relationship with the mother and son, when the first emperor died, the official family was just two years old, and they were very dependent on the first queen.According to the theory of love, the first queen should not easily seek death for the sake of having a young son to raise. ”Li Wei and Xue Ying glanced at each other, and were about to say something, but when they saw that they were busy during the week, they added: "Of course, all this is just my speculation.At that time, I was just a low-level insider in Kunning Hall who was responsible for passing on the news, and I didn't have the opportunity to serve the former queen closely, and I really didn't know some of the inside information. ”"So."
Li Wei asked in a deep voice: "Some people say that not long after the death of the first emperor, someone in the palace ordered the queen's diet to be cut off, is this true?"
”Zhou Nei's body trembled, and he lowered his voice and said: "I only know that after the death of the first emperor, the first queen was sad and didn't think about eating, so the back kitchen of Kunning Palace didn't fire for a few days, but I didn't hear that Yousi deliberately deducted the first queen's diet. ”Li Wei was slightly disappointed, paused for a moment and asked, "As far as I know, the first empress passed away half a month after the death of the first emperor, do you remember the situation when she died?"
”"Yes."
The look of the people in the week was a little frightened: "It was October 16 of the sixteenth year of Qingfeng, the night was already deep, I was lying on the bed and just fell asleep, there was a rapid knock outside the door, I opened the door and was told that the first queen had gone on a hunger strike and ascended to heaven, and there was a mourning in the Kunning Palace. ”Xue Ying couldn't help but ask: "In the past half a month since the death of the First Emperor, has the Kunning Palace really not fired?"
”"That's definitely not the case."
Zhou Neiren blurted out: "Xu Neiren is the confidant brought by the first queen from her mother's house, and her cooking skills are superb, I am afraid that the first queen will hurt her body too much, and in those days, she changed her cooking tricks to make some soup for the first queen to regulate her body, but I heard that the first queen has never had any appetite." ”Xue Ying frowned and said, "In other words, after the death of the first emperor, the first queen's diet is guaranteed?"
”"Of course."
The people in the week were slightly surprised: "After all, the identity is there, who dares to treat it harshly?"
”This is different from what Liu Tinglin said in his poem.Xue Ying thought secretly, and asked again: "When did the people leave the palace during the week?"
”Zhou Neiren said gloomily: "A month after the death of the first queen, a group of insiders in the Kunning Palace were either deployed to other palaces on errands, or simply dismissed, I was not young at the time, and I planned to go out of the palace to marry, so I entrusted Zhang Dian of Baoci Palace to let me out of the palace." ”Captain Li's fingers clasped on the table, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you ever heard of Mrs.
Wu?"
”"Mrs.
Wu."
Zhou Neiren tried to recall for a moment, and finally suddenly said: "There is such a person, it is the lady of Kunning Palace, her temper is a little weird, and I have no friendship with her."

However, she has a good relationship with Xu Neiren, who often instructs her to cook dishes that the former queen loves. ”"I heard that after the death of the first queen, Xu Neiren also followed the martyr?""
Yes."
Zhou Neiren sighed and said: "Xu Neiren is really loyal to the master, and we can't reach it."
She was afraid that there would be no one to serve and take care of the first queen under Jiuquan, so she committed suicide that night and followed the first queen.The eldest lady also made a special decree to commend her loyalty at that time. ”Li Wei remembered that when Empress Ruiqing passed away, an edict issued in the palace: "Empress Daxing has been matched with Emperor Daxing for six years out of ten years, and she is in the middle palace, Shu Shen Roujia, serving the Empress Dowager Cheng Yan Shunzhi, filial piety is not violated, in December this year, the Emperor Daxing Dragon drove the guests, and the damage was too great, so she hugged Shen Zhen and died in the middle of the day, and the grief was really deep." ”1 This edict is the official announcement of the cause of Empress Ruiqing's death, but it is vague, as if it is deliberately evasive, which is really unconvincing.After thinking for a moment, Li Wei finally said: "Thank you for telling us this inside story, if you think of anything else, you can tell me at any time."
It's not too early, so we'll take our leave. ”Zhou Neiren promised to send the two out in person, and when she was about to say goodbye at the door, she suddenly whispered to Li Wei: "I suddenly remembered something, the night before the first queen died, Xu Neiren told me to go to Wu Shangshi to get some yams and red dates, saying that the first queen wanted to eat jujube paste and yam cake. ”Li Wei and Xue Ying glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice: "I know, let's go back quickly within the week."
Be extra careful during this time and don't open the door to strangers. ”Leaving the mansion in the week, the two were silent all the way, but Xue Ying spoke first: "It seems that the first queen doesn't want to die, if all thoughts are really lost, how can she think of eating jujube paste yam cake?"
For the sake of today, she also wants to live well. ”Li Wei was silent for a moment and said: "What you said is right, everyone has the heart of life, and who will seek death unless it is absolutely necessary?"
Let's go, it's time for lunch, too. ”Back at the gourd soup shop, Zhang Qing happened to have just bought a few fresh pheasants from the market, Xue Ying smiled: "This is great, it's cold outside, let's eat clove wontons, it's the most heartwarming to eat." ”Clove is also known as cloves, chicken tongue incense, is made of clove buds from green to red when picked and dried, the taste is spicy and fragrant, can treat spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, people like to put a little clove in the wonton filling to enhance the taste and health care.Xue Ying specially chose chicken broth, which is made by boiling chicken bones and chicken for a long time, and finally filtering out the dregs, and the soup color is as yellow and clear as if it were good tea.The wonton stuffing is also very particular, finely chop the pheasant meat into a dumpling, mix in diced winter bamboo shoots, garlic sprouts, Sichuan pepper powder, clove powder, almond paste, salt and an appropriate amount of cooked sesame oil and stir well.Wonton wrappers are different from dumplings and dumpling wrappers in that they are rolled out thinly, cut into squares, and then wrapped in fillings and wrapped into ingot-shaped moderately sized wontons, which can be boiled in the pot.Xue Ying boiled the pot with water, then put in the wrapped wontons, waited until they boiled again, added a little cold water, and waited until the wontons floated up, then scooped them up with a fence and put them into a bowl, added the piping hot chicken soup, added a little salt and pepper to the soup, and finally sprinkled with a little garlic sprouts, and it was ready to be served.There is nothing more heart-warming than a bowl of wontons on a cold winter day, Levi was really hungry for a long time, and he was a little anxious to taste a wonton, the freshly cooked wontons are still hot, the wonton skin is extremely thin, like crepe, and the pink filling inside can be faintly seen.As soon as you bite into it, the fresh aroma of pheasant meat fills the lips and tongue, the winter bamboo shoots are refreshing, the garlic sprouts enhance the flavor, and the cloves and almond butter make the filling fresh but not greasy, adding a different aroma to this bowl of wontons, which is more and more tempting to the appetite.Li Wei ate several wontons in a row, and drank another sip of soup, the entrance was fresh and clear, there was no dregs, and the slightly heavier garlic sprouts were a perfect match, and after drinking half a bowl of soup, he felt that the whole province was warm.Before he knew it, Li Wei had finished eating a bowl of wontons, and Xue Ying smiled and handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe the sweat on your forehead, there are still a lot of wontons, you don't have to eat in such a hurry." ”After Levi tried his sweat with a handkerchief, he smiled embarrassedly: "I got a little carried away today."
Since you entered the palace, you have rarely been able to eat such a satisfying meal. ”Xue Ying blushed and glanced at Shen Yao and Zhang Qing on the side.Fortunately, Zhang Qing also focused on eating wontons, and Shen Yao smiled and said, "I also prepared fruits, so I'll go to the back kitchen to get them." ”After a while, Shen Yao brought fruit and put it in front of everyone, it seemed to be a plate of steamed and peeled plums, she saw that Li Wei was stunned, and explained with a smile: "This plate of fruit is called Da Nai Cake."
After peeling and pitting raw plums, blanch them with white plum and licorice water, then fill them with honey, almonds, olive kernels, peeled walnut flesh, and chopped melon kernels, and put them in a small retort to steam.In winter, it is not suitable to eat raw and cold, and the big cake is the most suitable for the spleen and stomach. ”2 Levi suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Who taught you this method of making a big cake?"
”Xue Ying was a little puzzled by Li Wei's reaction: "Did I teach her, or did my father pass on the recipe to me, is there anything wrong?"
”"Nothing."
Levi's expression quickly returned to normal.He casually took a ripe plum and tasted it, the outer skin was sweet and sour, and the filling inside was full of nutty fat, rich and unusually harmonious, exactly the same taste as the Da Nai cake he ate at Cheng Yuan's house back then.According to Cheng Yuan, it was an exclusive secret recipe given to him by an old friend.After eating the Danai cake, it was time for Xue Ying to return to the palace, she was quite reluctant, and Li Wei's expression was also a little gloomy, and he got up and said, "I'll send you." ”The two walked north along the royal street, and when they reached the vicinity of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Xue Ying said in a deep voice: "Further on, it is the inner city, you can go back." ”Li Wei was silent for a moment and said: "Be careful in the palace, the little inner eunuch who delivers the news is on an errand in the Funing Palace, and if there is an emergency, he must let him tell me in time." ”"Okay."
Xue Ying promised and was about to turn around and walk away, but was pulled by Li Wei and said, "Ah Ying, you wait for me, next autumn, I will definitely marry you in style." ”Xue Ying didn't twist this time, but nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”She stared at Levi for a moment, then finally turned around and walked away, she didn't dare to look back, until she walked a long way away, and then stopped and looked back to the south, Levi's tall figure was still in place.She suddenly felt astringent in her eyes, so she had to raise her head vigorously so that tears did not flow out.1.
This passage comes from the edict of Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an mourning Empress Jiashun during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty 2.Xiang Minzhong is not shocked, he can endure loneliness, Emperor Zhenzong called him "Da Nai official position", so there is a big cake The author has something to say: Thank you for the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-2119:11:25~2020-07-2218:19:31 ~ Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Mority, 5 bottles; 1 bottle of listening to the wind; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 70 Returning to the palace was busy for several days, and it was not until the Empress Dowager's birthday that Xue Ying was free.That afternoon, she taught the ladies in the small kitchen of the Baoci Palace to cook as usual.Xue Ying said with a smile: "The palace banquet for several days in a row is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the eldest lady must want to eat some light dishes."
Today we are going to make Bijian soup. ”Xia Qing immediately asked: "Fresh crucian carp silver silk, parsley and green soup."
Is the lady talking about the Bijian soup in Du Zimei's poem?
”"That's pretty much what it means."
Xue Ying explained, and took out the ingredients for making the soup: a handful of cress, a piece of tofu, a piece of winter bamboo shoots, and a little dried scallops.Cut the cress into sections, cut the tofu into small pieces, cut the winter bamboo shoots into shreds, soak the scallops for an hour and tear them apart, then cut a little green onion and ginger slices, and the ingredients are ready.Xue Ying heat the oil, fry the chives, stir-fry the scallops, add a little white vinegar to remove the fish, wait until the fragrance is overflowing, put in the cress section, fry until the color is emerald green, add an appropriate amount of clear soup, after boiling, add tofu pieces, bamboo shoots and ginger slices, boil again, turn to low heat and simmer for a stick of incense, add a little salt and pepper to taste, drop in a few drops of sesame oil, and you can get out of the pot.Meng Yue, a chef on the side, asked: "The taste of ginger slices is very strong, do you have to add ginger slices to make Bijian soup?"
”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Watercress is slightly cold, adding a little ginger can effectively neutralize the coldness of watercress, so that people with weak spleen and stomach are harmless to eat." ”Xia Bing is an out-and-out carnivore, frowning slightly and asking: "Do you only teach us to make this dish today, Bijian soup is certainly very elegant, but when eaten in winter, the taste is too bland." ”Xue Ying smiled and nodded her forehead: "I know you want to eat meat, then let's make another dish of Wrapped Flower Cloud Dream Meat." ”"Wrapped in flowers and clouds?"
Meng Yue smiled and asked, "What sounds like a very grand name, is it made of mutton?"
”"It's made of the front elbow of the pig.The front elbow skin of the pork is thick and tendony, and the taste is excellent, so it is the most suitable for making tangled Yunmeng meat. ”Xue Ying smiled and took a piece of pig's front elbow and washed it, and quickly removed the middle bone.After the boiling water is boiled, blanch the pork knuckle to remove the blood water, wait for the pork knuckle to form a roll, and tie it tightly with silk thread.Next, Xue Ying boiled water again, put in ginger slices, green onions, rice wine and bay leaves, grass fruits, dill seeds, tangerine peel, and then added a little soy sauce and sugar, after the pork knuckle was boiled, turn to low heat and cover the pot, and simmer for more than half an hour.When the lid is lifted, the rich aroma of the meat comes to the face, and the meat is fully cooked at this time.Xue Ying took out the pork knuckle, let it cool slightly, rolled it tightly with gauze and rope again, put it in the cold outside and chilled it for a while, and then took it and cut the pork knuckle into slices and placed it evenly in the cyan porcelain plate.Xia Qing couldn't help but praise: "No wonder it's called Tanghua Yunmeng meat, let alone tasting this dish, it looks very eye-catching." ”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Wrapped Flower Cloud Dream Meat is a famous dish of the previous dynasty.At the beginning, Wei Juyuan's official worshiped Shangshu and held a roasted tail banquet to worship Emperor Zhongzong, and there was this dish, which was also a good taste. ”Xue Ying said as she took a saucer and poured in a little vinegar and garlic as a dipping sauce for pork knuckle slices.Xia Qing couldn't wait, so he grabbed a piece of meat with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth, the pork knuckle meat is very chewy, and the aftertaste is endless, and the mouth is full of rich meat aroma, but there is no greasy home-cooked stew at all.Xue Ying reminded her with a smile: "Pork knuckle meat is more delicious with seasoning." ”Xia Qing dipped a little sauce in accordance with the words, and the cold and fresh pork knuckle meat was paired with sour rice vinegar and spicy garlic paste, which made the layers richer and more refreshing and appetizing in the mouth.Meng Yue's taste has always been light, and she loves the refreshing Bijian soup even more.After the cress is cooked, it still maintains the green and blue color, the bamboo shoots and ginger slices are slightly yellow, and the tofu is white, which looks really elegant.Meng Yue first scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it, it was light and fragrant, and the cresss in the soup tasted crisp and crisp, with its unique fragrance, as refreshing as the clear water in the mountains; The bamboo shoots, known as the vegetables of the mountains, add a taste of the mountains to this soup, and the tofu is smooth and tender, with a strong bean aroma when you bite into it.The best thing is that the dried scallops are fried first, which adds the freshness of seafood to the otherwise bland soup.Even though Xia Qing and Meng Yue were not hungry, they still ate the Bijian soup and the tangled flower Yunmeng meat with rice.Xia Qing smiled: "It just so happens that I don't need to eat any more dinner."
Both dishes taste very refreshing, and the eldest lady will definitely like it. ”Sending Xia Qing, Meng Yue and the others away, Xue Ying returned to his residence and was about to rest for a while, when there was a rapid knock on the door outside, Xue Ying only got up a little late, and the door was rudely pushed open.It was Ren Shouyi, the attendant in the Baoci Palace, who led a group of inner prisoners to come.Ren Shouyi's cold gaze swept towards Xue Ying, and said coldly: "The eldest lady lost a pearl and jade crown, and she couldn't find it, some people say that you stole it."
So I led someone to investigate, and if there is no best, I can also go to the suspicion. ”After all, Xue Ying was already prepared in her heart, and said calmly: "Someone maliciously slandered, I have always only been active in the back kitchen, and I have no chance to get close to the eldest lady's bedroom, how could it be that I stole it." ”Ren Shouyi smiled faintly and said: "Xue Niangzi, don't be busy arguing first, whether you are innocent or not, you won't know if you check it, it's not a secret, we have also searched the residences of other insiders in Baoci Palace." ”Xue Ying's heart sank, it seemed that they came prepared this time, and they must have grabbed their handles, and said in a deep voice: "Then please." ”A group of internal supervisors opened the boxes and cabinets in the room, searched for a long time, and one of the small internal supervisors raised his voice and said: "Ren Zhuban, the eldest lady's pearl and jade crown is really here for her." ”It turned out that the little inner eunuch found the crown in the small box on Xue Ying's dresser, Ren Shouyi's eyes lit up, and he asked her with a sneer: "Xue Niangzi, now that the human and material evidence are there, what else do you have to say." ”This is the second time that Xue Ying has been framed, and she is much calmer now than when she was framed in the Li Mansion.She had already thought of the worst possibility when she entered the palace this time, and now it was just earlier than she expected.
