After a group of people were full, they walked back leisurely.
The foodie group helped Jiang Shuyao carry the box and walked around her. You said something and I said something, for fear that she would fall.
"Sister-in-law, be careful, there is a pit ahead."
"Hey, there's a tree branch, be careful."
Xie Xun was helpless and pulled Jiang Shuyao's sleeve, Jiang Shuyao looked back at her.
"Ignore them," he said. "They just want to keep eating."
Jiang Shuyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's okay, I know, I don't mind."
Xie Xun hummed inwardly. The daughter-in-law's temperament that she likes to share food and happiness is really both loving and angry.
He held Jiang Shuyao's arm and looked at her feet, afraid that she would stab her foot in the mountains.
Jiang Shuyao felt that his hand holding his arm was strong, and worriedly said, "Your injury is still not healed, so take care of yourself first."
"I'm already fine." Xie Xun thought that there was nothing serious, so why was he cautious.
"What if the wound opens and bleeds again?" Jiang Shuyao said, "that day—"
"That day was an accident!" Xie Xun hurriedly interrupted, with a hint of concealment, causing the monkeys who were leading the way to look back at him.
"Bo Yuan, why haven't you recovered from your injury for so long? Your injury has always recovered very quickly." Someone asked with concern, "Could it be that you have been resting at home for too long, and have been pampering all day..."
Xie Xun's face darkened, and they shut up immediately.
Their eyes fell on Jiang Shuyao, and there was a feeling of seeing through it but not saying it. With Jiang Shuyao's temperament, how could it not be easy to spoil the wounded, and offer everything to eat and drink, hey.
Xie Xun felt that this group of people was too unpleasant, and he was afraid that their babbling would make Jiang Shuyao feel that he was charming, so he shot two pheasants on the way back, proving to her that his injury was no longer a problem.
After a group of people arrived at Xie Guogong's residence, Xie Xun drove them away. Although they were reluctant, they were not too embarrassed to continue eating and drinking. They could only think of pleasing Jiang Shuyao next time.
After Xie Xun pulled the bow to shoot the arrow, Jiang Shuyao was worried that his wound would open. Under Xie Xun's repeated assurance, she still drove him to the bed to lie down for a while to rest.
After Xie Xun left, Jiang Shuyao stared at the two pheasants he called back in a daze. Finally, seeing that he was hungry, he asked the palace servant for some chicken wings and glutinous rice.
The glutinous rice is steamed before marinating the chicken wings, and it can be fried after it has cooled down. Remove the bones of the chicken wings with scissors and marinate them with seasonings. At this time, stir-fry the steamed and cooled glutinous rice with green beans. After frying, the chicken wings are almost marinated, and you can proceed to the next step.
Just as he was about to stuff glutinous rice into the chicken wings, Xie Xun poked his head from the door frame.
"Didn't I ask you to take a break?" she asked, while swiftly pouring glutinous rice into the chicken wings with a spoon.
Xie Xun said: "Take a rest." In fact, he just changed his clothes, lay down and turned left and right, and couldn't fall asleep, so he couldn't help coming out to find Jiang Shuyao.
Jiang Shuyao saw that he was unwilling and did not persuade him, and continued with the task at hand.
"What is this for?" Xie Xun also admired Jiang Shuyao, and put food first no matter where he was. She originally thought that when the autumn hunting left the kitchen, she would either go to the woods to play, or stay with him in the house, but she actually came back with the ingredients from the palace servants and continued to think about food.
"Chicken wings with rice."
Xie Xun was puzzled when she saw that she stuffed the fried glutinous rice into the chicken wings.
"You can bake it after you put it in. The glutinous rice inside is already cooked, so don't worry about it being cooked through, but the chicken juice and oily water from the chicken wings will melt into the glutinous rice..." She said here, stunned for a moment, "That's not right. , how do you bake without an oven?"
She just wanted to make some interesting food on a whim, but she forgot that this was not in the Xie Guogong's mansion, and there was no roasting kiln.
Just when she was hesitating about what to do with the stuffed chicken wings and rice, a eunuch came to pass on Concubine Lin's instructions and asked Jiang Shuyao to meet her.
Jiang Shuyao hesitated for a moment, and directly brought the chicken wings with rice. She didn't have all the utensils here, and the imperial concubine could always find a substitute, even if it was baked in a small stove. When I arrived, I found out that this time it was not Lin Guifei's site, but the Queen's.
When Jiang Shuyao arrived, the queen and all the ladies were there, chatting happily, so Jiang Shuyao, who was holding a pot of raw chicken wings, looked particularly stunned.
Concubine Lin had something to discuss with the queen. After the discussion, she stayed here to chat. It happened that the queen's niece came to see her. The rest of the ladies wanted to show their faces in front of the nobles and have fun, so they all came to see them. A group of people gathered in the lobby. , you press me a sentence, I press you a sentence is not very lively. After all, the prince has reached the age of choosing a concubine, and everyone wants to perform well in front of the nobles.
The queen is kind and gentle, and she likes the younger generation the most. Looking at a group of girls who are like delicate flowers, she is always smiling, and she doesn't find them annoying at all.
The queen came from a noble background, and she had a dignified and dignified temperament from childhood. Concubine Lin was different. Before she entered the palace, she had been among men. There are people too, and now seeing them stab at me with every sentence, I just feel that the gibberish is a headache.
"The pearl flowers on Miss Wan's head are so beautiful. Even in early autumn, they are as bright and moving as in spring."
"Miss Li San is wrong. You don't wear hairpins and hairpins or make-up. You can say that you are a lotus flower, and you naturally carve them. It's too vulgar that we like pearls and hairpins."
Miss Li San's heart tightened, and she quietly glanced at Concubine Lin, who didn't know that Concubine Lin liked gold jewelry the most.
"You little girls, all of you are very modest, and I want Ben Gong to say that they are all good-looking, and each is beautiful in its own way." The Queen said cheerfully.
Concubine Lin held tea with a smile and didn't say a word. She was so annoyed that she was still showing her agility at this point? When she was stirring up trouble in the harem, they hadn't been born yet. It's the Queen's temperament that she thinks that everyone is a blind date and loves sisters, and also thinks that all the people living in the harem are good temperaments who will not fight or grab it, not because she was stunned.
She looked in the mirror with the golden spoon in the teacup. Besides, beauty, is it more beautiful than my mother
Seeing that their fighting skills were still going on, and they were about to start reciting poetry and writing to show their talents, Concubine Lin couldn't bear it anymore, so she had someone call Jiang Shuyao.
If nothing else, just because she showed her face here, those who touted each other's skin should be ashamed.
Concubine Lin thought that she saw the big box brought by Duke Xie's mansion, and her heart for watching the show became stronger. The niece goes with her. She can bring a large suitcase with her clothes and jewelry. I don’t know how she is dressed today. She must wear more golden hairpins to suppress their limelight. color.
Then she saw Jiang Shuyao was wearing simple clothes that were easy to take care of, her hair was neatly tied, and she came over with a basin in her hand.
Concubine Lin was stupid, so was the one who played the game, and even the empress who was smiling all the time was stupid.
Jiang Shuyao hurriedly handed the basin to the maid behind him, and respectfully saluted the Queen and Concubine Lin.
Before the queen could speak, Concubine Lin threw away the tea cup and said in disbelief, "Why did you come out wearing this?"
Jiang Shuyao said doubtfully: "If you go back to the mother, I was packing the ingredients just now. This dress is easy to take care of, and it is easy to change and wash if it gets dirty."
Concubine Lin gritted her teeth: "...Are you going to come out without cleaning up?"
Jiang Shuyao looked at the ladies sitting beside them, all of them were gorgeous, and some were wearing light-colored clothes, which looked like they were coming out for an autumn hunt.
She wondered if it was wrong for her to dress like this, but she always wore it like this at home. Xie Xun never said anything, and she waited eagerly for a kiss every day.
The queen hurriedly smoothed things out and greeted her: "Let this palace take a look, look at this child, it looks like a virtuous and gentle person."
The angry concubine Lin Gui looked at Jiang Shuyao's peach and plum-like face, and had to admire the queen's ability to open her eyes and talk nonsense.
Ever since Concubine Lin slapped the snails in front of Jiang Shuyao, Jiang Shuyao no longer had the filter of reverence for her, and asked directly, "Niangniang, do you have something to call me?"
Concubine Lin said lazily, "Nothing, just let you join in the fun and have fun together."
Jiang Shuyao was about to continue the conversation, but she felt that the queen's eyes kept falling on her and did not move away.
It was because the queen was too curious about Jiang Shuyao. Back then, when the uncle's house in Xiangyang wanted Jiang Shuyao to marry Xie Xun, Concubine Lin came to her crying and begged her, but she insisted on asking her to marry her in person. She owed Concubine Lin a lot for the prince's tricks, and the only time that Concubine Lin asked for something, how could she refuse.
It is often said in folklore that a twisted melon is not sweet, this marriage is done, and Jiang Shuyao has a bad life in Xie Guogong's mansion.
Unexpectedly, everything was not as she imagined. After Jiang Shuyao got married, she seemed to have changed her life. She often heard the prince mention Jiang Shuyao and praised her.
After she came back from the embezzlement case on the river bank a while ago, she had a meal in the palace, and she insisted on what kind of steamed buns to dip in sauce, and even big steamed buns, which left the imperial kitchen at a loss.
She gave Jiang Shuyao a seat beside her, wanting to talk to her more to solve her doubts.
Who knew that this would make the ladies beside him jealous.
Jiang Da just robbed Xie Lang, and today he came to steal their limelight, which was unbearable.
The queen's niece was the first to speak: "Mrs. Xie, I don't know what you brought here. It looks bloody and scary."
Jiang Shuyao just sat down, heard the words and remembered the business, and said to Concubine Lin: "By the way, if you don't have business with me, can I borrow the cooker and stove from your place?"
Concubine Lin was so angry, how could she, a beautiful concubine with deep scheming, have such a silly niece.
She changed her mind, thinking of Jiang Shuyao's craftsmanship, she nodded immediately and said, "Of course, but you don't have to go to my place, just stay at the Empress's place. What do you think, sister?" In the limelight, it is also a pleasure to win the queen's blue eyes with cooking skills.
The queen nodded naturally.
Only then did Jiang Shuyao answer the queen's niece's question: "It's not bloody, it's the marinade I made."
After speaking, he bowed to the Queen and retired, and went around to the back to deal with the chicken wings and rice.
The queen smiled and said, "This child, with a pure mind, this is the first time I've seen a little girl who devoted herself to eating."
The atmosphere was alive again.
The queen couldn't live without medicinal food all day, so she built a small pantry where she lived. Because the emperor came to the paddock for hunting every year, the imperial kitchen utensils built here are all available, and there are several types of stoves alone.
Without an oven, Jiang Shuyao put the chicken wings wrapped in rice in a small stove to bake. After the chicken wings began to drip oil, brush the skin of the chicken wings with a layer of honey, set up two iron racks, and bake them on an open fire.
The tongue of fire licked the chicken wings, the honey juice on the outer layer gradually became translucent, and the grease overflowed, colliding with the hot fire, making a sizzling sound. As more and more oil is roasted, the skin of the chicken wings gradually becomes a bright brownish yellow, and the aroma of the roasted wings becomes more and more intense. The burnt aroma of fresh sweet juice spread out of the dining room and gradually drifted away.
The maids and eunuchs in the dining room swallowed their saliva and looked into the room curiously. In the past, there was no such delicious taste when the meat was roasted. What method was used
Jiang Shuyao baked all the chicken wings and rice that she brought, and put them in the plate. When she came, she thought that half of the baked chicken wings would be given to the imperial concubine, and the other half would be taken back, but now they were having a good time chatting over there. would be too contradictory.
Just thinking about it, a eunuch came over: "Mrs. Xie, the noble concubine sent a servant to ask you if you are done, and you can hurry over when you are done."
Jiang Shuyao went back with him.
Before she arrives, the aroma has penetrated into the nose of the person who is talking happily.
Their voices gradually stopped, attracted by the fragrance. It's a wonderful taste. The fresh meat is sweet with honey, and there is a charcoal-grilled aroma in the sweetness. There are also many indistinguishable spices. The aroma is rich in layers. After a few more sniffs, you can't help but be attracted by the smell.
When they were still thinking about what it was, Jiang Shuyao came in, followed by a eunuch with a plate.
Roasted chicken wings are inherently fragrant, not to mention the big chicken wings such as chicken wings wrapped in rice. When you see a big piece, it is a bit rough, but if you look closely, the chicken wings that have just come out of the pot are still sizzling with oil, and the edges and corners are shrunk and glowing. The brownish-yellow color, with an oily and transparent luster on the surface, makes the brown-yellow honey-colored skin more delicious and attractive.
"This is... chicken wings?" The queen was stunned. She had never eaten such a large whole chicken wings before, but they were all finely made chicken balls and minced chicken. How dare the pantry put a piece of chicken wings for her to eat.
"Exactly." Since the Queen was present, Concubine Lin couldn't enjoy it alone.
Jiang Shuyao signaled that the eunuch brought the plate to the queen's case.
"If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, then try this chicken wings with rice."
Of course, the queen is not a dignified and arrogant person, but she was still worried when she looked at a whole chicken wing, how to enter such a large piece.
Seeing this, Concubine Lin felt inexplicably thinking about Coke. She is someone who has snarled snails before, and she has long forgotten about eating and other things. Isn't it just eating chicken wings? It's a simple matter.
Jiang Shuyao noticed the Queen's concern, and said, "This chicken wing is deboned, only the skin and flesh are left, and the inside is stuffed with fried green beans and glutinous rice. You only need to eat it with chopsticks. The outermost layer is burnt and fragrant. , the chicken inside is soft and tender, juicy and juicy, and the glutinous rice in the innermost layer is full, glutinous, soft, and fragrant. In one bite, it is meat and rice, and it is very enjoyable."
Not to mention the queen, even the noble ladies who were holding back their energy suddenly felt a little hungry after hearing her say this.
Concubine Lin moved her chopsticks first, and indecently used chopsticks to fork the chicken wings to wrap the rice, and took a bite at the tip of the chicken wings. She was born beautiful, and even if she was indecent, she looked very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this, the Queen's tongue suddenly burst into saliva, and she, who doesn't like oily meat, is also a little ready to move at this moment.
Concubine Lin took a small bite of the chicken wings wrapped in rice. The skin of the chicken wings was brushed with honey and roasted very tough, and the corners were a little crunchy. After biting the skin, the fragrant meaty aroma rushed out. The gravy and oily water of the chicken wings were all baked, but they were firmly held by the outer skin. At this moment, the chicken wings were surging out. The chicken wings were so tender and tender that they seemed to melt in the mouth without chewing.
The glutinous rice is firm and full, and the teeth are elastic. The chicken juice and oil penetrate into the glutinous rice. There are not only the fresh taste of green beans, the sweet aroma of glutinous rice, but also the strong and pure umami taste of meat. Obviously only a small bite, but it makes people feel A satisfying feeling.
She put down the chicken wings and wrapped the rice, savoring the aroma in her mouth, and let the tender meat and the glutinous rice collide and fuse in her mouth. If no one was present, she would have eaten the chicken wings with her hands.
"Empress Empress, try it now." Concubine Lin suddenly felt proud. My niece is beautiful, and her cooking skills are top-notch. Who else can compare to her! Have! Who!
The queen was hesitating, but as soon as Concubine Lin persuaded her, she tried to speak.
She was much more gentle than Concubine Lin, but she was still shocked by the deliciousness. The crispy skin with honey juice is fresh and sweet, with a slight spicy taste, and the taste is obviously complex, but it blends just right. After biting, the gravy inside can't wait to pour out, it is extremely sweet, and it stimulates all the essence of the chicken. There is no fishy smell, only the original freshness.
The skin is crispy, the chicken is tender, and the glutinous rice is tough. It is only a small bite, but the taste is extremely rich.
She turned to look at Jiang Shuyao, the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed.
The last time she drank the burning fairy grass brought back by the prince, she only thought that the girl's family loves to ponder on sweets.
Just when she was surprised, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness is here—"
